Switzerland Overrated Swiftly by Delpit Critic
M Albert Delpit, a chronicler for The Figaro, toured Switzerland and returns with sharp spleen, claiming snobbish tourism and pale charms. He decries Alps over Pyrenees, calls Switzerland extortionate and dull, and urges readers to consider nearer French locales and overlooked beauty. Lawrence Thach, once a blacksmith, now a show almanac maker in Newmantown, Pa, earns 2 dollars yearly for calculating twenty-five almanacs.

Life Within the Blockade A Southern Woman Recounts Hard Times
A Civil War era narrative recalls home leather tanning, shoe and wagon repairs, improvised scents and substitutes for coffee and lighting. Hides were treated in dug pits with lye from ashes, while sandals, harness, and army wagons were mended. Coffee and candles vanished, replaced by parched okra seed, yam substitutes, tea from raspberry leaves, and homemade lamp globes from sweet gum.

New Style of Whaling Vessels in 1814 Declines Industry
The article argues whaling centers vanish as steam vessels replace sailing ships. It notes oil yields from whales, cites the Gibson capture of 299 tons of oil in 1934, and estimates prices at $160 per ton. It contrasts American, French, and Arctic whaling, and laments declining profits and hard living for sailors. It mentions ships like Bear, Thetis, Alert and the Greely relief party vessels as examples of modern steam whalers. It ends with a street-side quote on aging seamen and shifting fortunes.
