Town social calendar files note rich 19th century gatherings

The passage records numerous social events in Wielita and Urbana, detailing hunts, visits, society gatherings, and charitable balls. Attendees include Mesdaines Lanek and Pregtie, Miss Floy Russell, Mrs G W Darling, Mrs Willian Tint, and many others. The Misses and gentlemen attend teas, musicales, and the annual charity ball, with notes on hosts, venues, and the social scene. The article also mentions theatre, dances, and church activities, reflecting a busy local society.

Century of age myths and tree budding in old notes

The article surveys centenarian claims from history, noting figures like the Countess of Desmond and Old Parr, and discusses the plausible human lifespan near 100. It cites 1890 census counts of centenarians and compares longevity with animals, then shifts to horticulture, explaining budding limits within genera and summer timing for grafting. It ends with a whimsical note on a smoker’s novel contrivance for pipe use.
