What you’re looking at
This page contains several distinct satirical elements: **"Dot's Der Vay" poem**: A dialect-heavy piece mocking German-American immigrants ("der," "vay" for "the," "way"), satirizing their assimilationist philosophy—that American business operates on the principle of "we don't do business that way," implying hypocrisy or inflexibility in social/commercial dealings. **"He Missed Last Year's Excursion" cartoon**: Two Irish immigrants (indicated by dialect: "Och," "phat kin yez expict") discuss missing a shore excursion. The humor likely plays on Irish-American stereotypes and working-class leisure activities of the era. **Supporting content**: Brief satirical observations ("Mrs. Pugwash's Sayings"), a baking powder comparison chart, and government chemistry reports praising Royal Baking Powder. The page reflects Judge's typical late-19th/early-20th-century approach: ethnic stereotyping (German and Irish accents rendered phonetically) mixed with social commentary and advertising disguised as editorial content.

It seems to us that this question is highly superfluous. A Connecticut blue law provided that no man should court a maid in person or by letter without the consent of her parents, on penalty of five pounds. Some of the best courting known to the human kind must thereby have been utterly lost jto the youthful puritan, and if he was sour in his old age it was be- [cause he was denied the sweetness that should have come to him when he could best appreciate it.

THE COURT PHILOSOPHER. The society of United Presbyte- rians of Ohio has decided to permit the use of instrumental music in church services. Persons who look upon this as the sixteenth century will find by consulting the alma- nac that they are very much mistaken. A writer tells of a man who, not being well-read, had no second- hand information to distribute. If there is anybody possessed of first-hand information he ought to be looked up. So much has been discovered and so much told by the millions who lived through the centuries that the matter that} is new is particularly valuable.

Notz.—The above Draonam fllustrates the comparative worth of various Baking Powders, as ahown by Chemical Analysis and experiments made by Prof. Schedler. Aone pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, {t {s far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan- tage of better werk. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder wili convince any fair minded person of these facts. ® While the diagram shows some of the alum powders to be of a higher degree of strength than other powders ranked below them, it is not to be taken as indica- ting that they have any value. All alum powders, no matter how bigh their strength, are to be avoided as dangerous, comicbooks.com
