An interview with Bodou lele representatives and Gloucester captains reveals the harsh life of Atlantic cod fishing. They describe long voyages from Gloucester to Georges Bank, dangerous shoal waters, and heavy tides.

A Constantinople correspondent notes that Turkish and Bosphorus area names carry concrete meanings. Valleys, hills, palaces, and fortresses reveal descriptors such as a ravine garden site and a white rock. Examples include Palma Batche a ravine once gardened, and Beycos where Beys held court.
Senator Sta criticizes tramp culture across the nation noting migrants ride rails to California. He claims many tramp deaths occur near tracks and describes winter camps in the state. He accuses tramps of feigning work goals and blaming Chinese workers for job competition.

In this excerpt from Siping, a woman explains she married a man for financial reason and to clothe his needful friends.
