A native discovers a tomb entrance in a stable floor and descends a dark tunnel. He and his wife and two more family members perish from the evil air and choking demon guarding the shaft. A local official, unable to rescue them, seals the tomb as their sepulcher.
A historical summary traces playing cards to 14th century Europe, noting early mentions in France's 1392 royal treasurer record for painting and gifting cards. It argues cards likely originated in Italy, with Venice producing many early packs, while naibis and fortune telling objects predated cards.
A summary of how dandelions, clover, horse chestnut, and scarlet pimpernels act as weather indicators. Dandelion blooms open in clear weather and close when rain nears, clover leaves fold and stems swell before rain, horse chestnut leaf fingers flatten in fair weather and droop with rain, while scarlet pimpernels close when rain is in the air.
A mix of health notes on insect stings and bites, recommending alkaline antidotes and suction for venom extraction, followed by several antiquarian curiosities including Portsmouth mail history, Metternich at Vienna, a quack cure tale, and light quips. The health guidance centers on neutralizing acids and supporting care while awaiting antitoxin options.
A reprint notes the saying a man finds his level and the wisdom of experience from Washington Star style prose. It presents a rustic sentiment about life alignment through blunt, humorous phrasing. The quote contrasts a man’s comfort with a wife’s rough truth in a folksy voice.
A fragmented compilation of anecdotes and fables about thieves, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and a regimented barber tale. It contrasts cunning with consequences and reflects on social perceptions of wrongdoing.
A burglar entering a house via an 8 foot ladder in a small Prussian town fell and broke his leg while fleeing with stolen goods. An inquiry found the house owner failed to provide iron spikes at the ladder base, against town bylaws, and the owner was ordered to cover hospital costs and pay the burglar a substantial sum.
A playful scene mixes a bishop joke with charity work and a pretend wedding talk. Dialogue hints at marriage plans, church, and social status as Miss Angie and suitor Forence discuss gifts and happiness. The tone recalls a small town column with light social banter.
