The piece speaks in gentle verse about children and sleep guided by Nature. It depicts nurses guiding children to bed, the transition from activity to rest, and night soothing away the day’s cares until they drift into dreamless sleep.
The General Scott, Baltimore built and once a famed clipper, sails to Rio Janeiro where officer Tracy Byrom wins the hand of Agnes Hayne. After years apart, a rescue at sea rekindles their bond as a wrecked City of York scene unfolds and a quiet marriage follows aboard.
A collage of quips and jokes from 19th century papers. Amid playful lines from the Cincinnati Enquirer Town Topics and London Critics, readers encounter puns about poets and pay for poetry, a streetcar anecdote, and a classroom quip about the word posterity. Notable bemused remarks arise from characters like a rustic bachelor and a vain poet, with light social humor threading through.
A bicyclist recounts riding into an overwhelming odor on Grand Western boulevard at Garfield, describing a dense mix of stockyard and drainage smells. The piece blends comic bravado with a vivid social portrait of nearby residents and officials, then shifts to a Chicago Chronicle note on lacemaking by caterpillars.
A 50 to 100 hen poultry house is advised for steady egg production without costly structures. A simple, bank-adjacent building is proposed, roomy and well ventilated, with dimensions for a 100 hen operation and nesting areas along the lowest edge for easy collection.
The article outlines practical poultry housing tips from Frederick O. Sibley, focusing on ventilation, division with wire netting, roosts in upright sections, and controlled window exposure to southern light. It advises keeping the stove in a separate area to dry the building and provide heated feed, with straw matting over windows during snowstorms to maintain a clean, sunny interior and steady egg production.
The author urges farmers to build a home market for their livestock and notes the shift to mechanized mowing reducing weed and brush near fence corners. He warns against neglecting weed control and emphasizes well watered and fed poultry when sent to market.
Consul Barnes, in Cologne, cites a German study on trichinae and American meat. The report argues most illness and deaths trace to European pork, not American meat, and claims inspections and duties will bar sausage and pickled pork from the German market, effectively vindicating American hogs.
Farmers are urged to start with pure breeds and purchase embryos only from trusted stock. Mixing breeds leads to cross breeds and mongrels, reducing uniformity and quality. Cooperation in buying pure breeds helps, while continued mongrel exchanges hinder progress. A dollar spent on pure breeds yields far higher egg production and stock improvement. The piece notes rising demand for agricultural literature, with millions of copies read by U.S. farmers and growing readership across the sector.
A Washington Star excerpt presents a lyrical prose piece where August fades into September, as the moods of autumn and imagery of the sea mingle. The narrator follows a poised September personified as she passes, while an Oyster character converses with her about identity and seasonality in a whimsical, poetic exchange.
An inspiring reminiscence from the 83d Pennsylvania Volunteers about survival and recovery after Appomattox. A soldier details years of rheumatic pain and relief found in Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, praising the remedy and his renewed health after service.
A jumble of curiosities reports vast counts of insane people in the United States, Russian horses, and a Siamese prince writing English stories. It notes railway fares in Congo, ocean steamers’ running costs, and a lifeboat carved from stone. Also mentions Dublin and Paris exhibits, doctors in Egypt, divorces for pie rights, and a Salt Lake City obituary.
