From Weird Tales, Volume 1, Issue 1
Ten Pallbearers For This Mammoth Woman
When Mrs. Martha Carmas, of Middle Village, Queensboro, New York, died of elephantiasis, ten men were required to carry her body from the hospital to Lutz Church for funeral services. She weighed 710 pounds. A special coffin of immense size was made for the body. Mrs. Carmas was only thirty-three years of age, and, until she contracted the dreadful elephantiasis, she was not unusually heavy.
# Weird Tales/Volume 1/Issue 1/Queer Tribe of Savages Found in Africa

From Weird Tales, Volume 1, Issue 1
Queer Tribe of Savages Found in Africa
One of the strangest tribes in Africa is that of the El Molo. Ruled by a blind chief, they live on an island near the east shore of Lake Rudolf in East Africa, their shelter being crude huts fashioned from palm leaves. They live entirely on fish, which they spear and eat raw, and they drink nothing except the water in the lake, which the white man considers unfit to drink. It is said they cannot live for more than an hour without water, their lips swelling and bleeding if they try to go longer. They use a language of their own, different from that of the other African tribes.
# Weird Tales/Volume 1/Issue 1/African Brides Must Be Plump

From Weird Tales, Volume 1, Issue 1
African Brides Must Be Plump
The wild tribes of Africa consider no girl beautiful unless she is abnormally fat. Hence their young girls are fed on milk and fattening foods, and are not permitted to exercise. This forced fattening is not only a necessary preparation for marriage—it is also good business for a girl's parents. When a girl marries, the bridegroom pays her parents for her, and the amount he pays is based on the degree of plumpness of the bride whom they have fattened for him.
# Western Union Telephone Company v. Pennsylvania/Opinion of the Court

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
128 U.S. 39
Western Union Telephone Company v. Pennsylvania
Judgment was rendered against plaintiff in error for taxes on telegraphic messages sent from point to point within the state of Pennsylvania, on messages sent from points within the state to points in other states, on messages sent from points in other states to points within the state, and on messages sent to and from points in other states which passed over lines partly within the state; and the record discloses the several amounts of taxes upon the several classes of messages, which, with commissions and interest, make up the total recovery. It is clear, and this is conceded by the defendant in error, that, under the decisions of this court in Telegraph Co. v. Texas, 105 U.S. 460, and Ratterman v. Telegraph Co., 127 U.S. 411, 8 Sup. Ct. Rep. 1127, the commonwealth was not entitled to recover for the taxes in question, excepting in respect to the messages transmitted wholly within the state. The judgment will therefore be reversed, and the cause remanded for such further proceedings as justice may require. Ordered accordingly.

Vietor v. Arthur
ERROR to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.
Subsequently to June 22, 1874, Vietor imported into New York, stockings. Some of them were wholly worsted. The others were composed of cotton and worsted, cotton being the material of chief value. They were intended to be worn by men, women, and children, and were made on frames. They were also 'knit goods,' this term comprising all goods made on frames, and also all hand-knit stockings and other knitted articles of various kinds.
They were classified by the appraiser as worsted knit goods, costing over eighty cents a pound, and Arthur, the collector of customs of the port of New York, exacted a duty at the rate of ninety per cent of fifty cents per pound and thirty-five per cent ad valorem, holding that the goods were, as knit goods, subject to the duty prescribed by schedule L, class 3 sect. 2504, Rev. Stat. The importer claimed that they were dutiable as stockings made on frames, worn by men, women, and children, and subject to the duty prescribed in schedule M. Both schedules are set out in the opinion of this court.
The duties claimed by the collector were paid under protest, and Vietor brought this suit against him. Judgment having been rendered for the defendant, Vietor sued out this writ.
