The Fashion of Tips at Summer Resorts
A perverse critique of tipping culture at vacation spots, detailing how American diners are pressured to tip to secure prompt service. The piece follows waiters' strategies to maximize tips, cites Emerson Longfellow and Whittier anecdotes, and condemns tips for the dead while praising variegated social rituals surrounding tipping and public attention. It then shifts to notes on California fruit canning and Latta's shoe collection with humorous asides.

Sulphur fumigation urged as practical home disinfection method
An 1890s medical note endorses dropping a pinch of sulphur on coals or ashes to fumigate a room. If no stove exists, burning sulphur on a shovel is suggested, with doors opened briefly to vent fumes. Sulphur fumes are claimed to reach all crevices, making it a practical method against disease in houses and infected dwellings. The article notes a company cost of 1000 more.
