 Featured - The Gaffe, a cartoon. From one generation to the next, technological progress. Replace "photograph" with "selfie" and you're done. |
 Page two - The Auto-cab project, vehicle heating or air conditioning. An invention from the "Pêle-Mêle" to cope with the high cost of living, a reversible, multi-service, economical, practical, and virtuous invention. And a certain Georges Gauthier already had the idea of heating the feet of two-wheelers. |
| Le Funi |
 Page two - The red color of Dutch cheese, vegetable dyeing thanks to the sunflower or Provençal sunflower, and "crozophora tinctoria" from the village of Grand Gallergues. But you need horse urine and manure. Enjoy this week's Grillon du foyer fondue recipe. |
| Same page - Quick marriage, better than in Las Vegas, as is quick divorce in Shan State with simple and quick customs. Short hair in the 16th century in the Basque Country. It is described in the journal Gure Herria by M.H. Garel and by the German (sic) Arnold von Haff in 1499. Read in the "A coups de ciseaux" section. |
| Also - What the discovery of America cost. Christopher Columbus's expense book, discovered in the archives of an old town, Palos, Spain, provides precise figures. And today, with the price increase, how much does a transatlantic crossing cost? |

| Same page - Prison Labor, no more making "seamless slippers," but thanks to modern workshops, the Criminal Police Bulletin, the Bulletin of Prohibited Persons, and the Bulletin of Research in the Interest of the Family are printed in Melun.

Recipes for - 119 calf's head with vinaigrette - 120 cheese crusts - 121 roast beef with a trick for knowing if the roast is cooked through, using a knitting needle, but what size? It also works for checking if a cake is cooked. If the dough continues to stick to the needle, it's not cooked enough yet - 122 calf's liver cake - 123 escarolle bread (don't throw away the cooking water, but use it) - 124 raw minced meat. Next column: A little bit of everything - Spring soup, kidney omelet, fondue, cheese soufflé, and chocolate mousse. |
