A WORD OF CAUTION.

We revive these "reminiscences for the
purpose of cautioning the people of Rut-
land to be on their guard against incendiary
fires, and to resume something of their past
watchfuness. There is no doubt that the
fire of Saturday night was case of incen-
diarism, as the village hall had not been
occupied or used for about year. The
fire probably has cost the insurance compa-
MES no less than two thousand dollars. The
railroad company lost eight or nine hundred
dollars worth of tools; the lumber was
damaged perhaps several hundred dollars f;
and DIR. Goldsmith will probably lose n
thousand dollars. 1t is not to be
presumed that any individual took
the responsibility of destroying prop
erty for mere joke. Two thousand dol
lar Jokes are rather expensive, to say moth
ing of the risk to which other property is
exposed. Let the people therefore be ON
their guard against a renewal of incendiary
fires

Perfect Butter.

There have been in the Providence
market this winter few hundred pals of
butter which have a history They came
from a single dairy in Illinois, and are
uniform in quality, hardly distinguish
able, indeed, one from another, although
made in summer, autumn and winter
They are swceter, and have faresh-
er and more delicate aroma than any
ball butter we were able to find last
summer in Rhode Island. They cop-
tain little salt and no buttermilk. This
perfect butter is churned daily from fresh
milk. Here lies the secret. Milk one
hOur-butter the next. No setting of
milk pans and skimming and storing up
of cream No subjection of milk and
cream to atmospheric, electric aud ther-
NAL changes. No expensive cellars with
running water to secure fresh air and
equal temperature, or, in default, per-
petually fluctuating product of butter. In
place of the inefficient hand working of
the butter, jaws worked by power, squeez-
ing out the bUttermilk, just as the melted
Stag is squeezed out Of the softened iron
in pudding. The dairy farm at which
this butter is made has, we believe, a
hundred or more COWS, in addition to
which milk is purchased from the neigh
boring farms. 1t is, in other words, a
factory, producing butter On a large scale,
of uniform, excellent quality Our theory
of butter making has always been to carry
the milk from the cows directly to the
churn, aud only to delay churnipg long
enough for the milk to cool to the proper
temperature. There would then be two
churnings each day, and the quantity
should be sufficient to make one or more
complete packages for the market at each
churning. theoretically, also, the caseine
should be Immediately separated from the
residual milk and buttermilk, and the
ultimate products, butter and cheese, be
the only substances remaining to be cared
for from day to day In such factoru,
power and good machinery would sub
stitute hand labor, and a uniformly good
product of butter should result. The
cheese would be of secondary, though
considerable Importance. At the present
time large quantities of French butter, of
uniform quality, are sold in the English
market, at good price. Meanwhile,
American butter, in England, brings
much less than its value, from the fact
that no two packages are alike, even from
the same dairy. This holds good of
Rhode Island butter, in our own market.
The butter from the same dairy, in sue
cessive weeks, in summer, has hardly
recognizable resemblance. A principal
cause of this diversity and inferiority of
product, is the difficulty or impossibility
of keeping milk and cream, ia our yaria-
bic climate, and in any but the best ap-
pointed dairy rooms or cellars The re-
medy for this is in churniug fresh milk
Instead of stale cream Prorileace Jour

FREDERICK THE GREAT.

One day the king rang his bell several
times aud nobody came. He opened the
door, and found his page fast asleep in au
armchair. Advancing to awake him, he
perceived the corner of a note peeping
out of his pocket. Curious to known what
it was, he took it, and read it. 1t was "a
letter from the mother of the youth, thank
ing him for sending her part of his wa
ges, to relieve her poverty. She couclud
ed by telling him that God would bless
him for his good conduct The king, af
ter having read it, went softly into his
room, took purse of ducats, aud slipped
it with the letter into the pocket OF the
page. He returned, and rang his bell so
loud that the page awoke, and went IN
"Thou hast slept WE'LL said the king
The page wished to excuse himself and
in his confusion put his hand by chance
iuto his pocket, and felt the purse with
astonishment He drew it out, turned
pale, and looking at the king, burst into
tears, without being able to utter word
What is the matter z" said the king,
what hast thou 2" "Ah, sire" replied
the youth, falling on his knees, "they

Pacific Islands.

These delicious tropical islands do not
seem to be very attractive places of So
journ, Notwithstanding the fruits with
which they abound aud their lovely clr
mate. The English steamship Blanche,
from Sydney, last year made cruise
touching at twenty FIVE islands aud pass
ing near thirty more. in the course of a
sail of 13 900 miles Some Of the infor-
nation collected by the captain is not
without interest.
The chief products OF these islands are
cocoanut oil, beche de mer, pearls, pearl
shells and tortoise shells, and these they
barter for tomahawks, beads, knives, pipes
and tobacco. One of the rather common
prelimiDaries of a trade is so peculaiar
that it deserves mention. 1t is called
skull hunting. A vessel arrives at an is
land, aud the king is informed that the
master wants to trade. The king replies
that he has so much coconut oil, &C.,
which he is willing to barter provided
the master will give some of his warriors
passage to another island with which he
is at war The warriors are taken TO the
island, the inhabitants arc decoyed on
board the ship on promise to trade, and
when there the so called warriors attack
aud kill them, and take their heads to
hang up in their taboo house as trophies
Then the vessel takes them back, and the
barter is made with the king. Another
fourishing business of these white sailors
is to kidnap the natives and transport
them to the sugar plantations IF Qucens
land and FIJI.
The natives of the Solomon Islands
have the reputation of being the most
blood thirsty of savases, but they are very
cowarly, and are inveterate cannibals,
their chief anxiety seeming to be to get
each others heads, and this pastime may
explain why they built their houses in the
tops of the trees. La Isabel Island tree
village was found built on the top of
rocky, steep mountain, 500 feet above the
sea, and on y to be reached By a slippery
path which could not be followed with
out a guide. The summit was mass Of
large rocks in the midst of which grew
gigantic trees in the branches of which
the houses of the natives are built. The
trunks OF the trees are perfectly smooth,
without branch for from 80 to l20 feet.
One house visited was over 70 feet from
the ground, the ascent to which was made
by ladder made of a strong creeper !;
this ladder is tied to post in the house,
aud can be drawn up. The houses are
firmly built and capable of accommodate
ing dozen people. When family
therefore has the body of neighbor it
wishes to cat undisturbed, or when it
wants to feel safe overnight. from an at
tack, it pulls up the ladder. 1t also pro-
vides itself with stones to drop on the
head OF anybody who attemps to shin up
the tree. This is an ideal home, for a
quiet man.
On the shore Of this same island were
seen twenty five heads nailed up on the
chiefs house, fresh and CHASTITY; the
bodies had been recently eaten.
In the Lugunor Island, Caroline group,
they found no traffic, and the men wore
their hair in European fashion, chignons
being common. On the islands Of this
group and of the Solomon the natives are
all naked, except for little paint.

Washing CompuRd.

The use of soda for washing linen is
very injurious to the tissue, and imparts
to it yeIlowsh color. In Germany and
Belgium, the following mixture is now
extensively used Two pounds OF soap
are dissolved in about five gallons OF wa
ter as hot as the hand can bear it then
next is added to this fluid three large
sized tablespoonfuls of liquid ammonia
and one spoonful of best oil of terPentine.
These fluids are incorporated rapidly by
means of beating them together with a
small birch broom. The linen is then
soaked in this liquid for three hours, care
being taken to cover the washing tub by
a closely fitting wooden cover. BY this
means the linen is thoroughly cleaned
saving much rubbing, time and fuel. =
Ammonia.. docs not affect linen or WOODEN
goods, and is largely used as washing
LIQUID both in England and America.
