FIRE ALARM.--We learn from the
O'ympias of the 9Th inst. that an
alarm of fire was raised in the Har-
mon House in Steilacoom, last
Monday at 2:30 A. M. Upon the
household and dodgers rushing to
the place whence the cries proceeded
they found the room "a bedroom)
filed with smoke, and the only in
mate in a state of suffocation. Has
tily procuring blanket, one of the
party extinguished the flames, while
another rescued the dying man.
Loss, an utterly damaged carpet and
a slight concavity in the floor.
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE AND Con-
srABLEs.-Mr. Selye, J. P, who by
business affairs has been compelled
to visit the Lower Sound region. is
now installed in his office on Wash
ington street, in one of the Matthias
buildings. Mr.. Perkins, J. p, now
occupies the room formerly occu-
pied by Auditor Booth, in the Col
man building. Both are now ready
for what business may come before
them. Mr.. Ward will be constable
% Mr.. Selye, and Mr.. Lytz to Mr..
Perkins.
TIE WEATHER.-For the benefit
of our eastern exchanges we give the
following: This is the 9th of Janu-
ary. We have as yet had no snow.
There is no frost on the ground, and
the roses and flowers stil1 bloom in
our gardens. Of ice, we shall be
sadly short the coming year as we
have often baen before, and still this
is no extraordinary year for Puget
Sound.
CoURr.-His Honor Judge Lewis,
is now holding Court at Steilacoom.
The docket at that place is about as
lean as it will be at the next term of
Court to be held at this place. Only
one case of divorce comes before
Judge Lewis at that place, while Sc
attic has thirteen. Has Seattle thir-
teen times the population of Stella
COON?
That RUMoR.--An item is swing
ing around the newspaper circle to
the effect that Gen. Sprague has
been appointed Superintendent of
the o. S. N. Co., and John w.
Brazee will succeed him as Super
intendent of the N. P. r. r. We
have no definite information on the
subject, but incline to the opinion
that it is q canard.
LoGs.-The boom of logs towed
in by the Teaser yesterday from the
Duwamish were for Colman's mill.

A QUESTION OF POULTRY.
Rev. Thomas lowell taught school
near where we lived when a boy, on
Staten Island. George Vanderbilt. the
Commo1ore's second son, was our play
mate in the days when we wore roun-
abouts and went to Mr.. .Toweil's school.
One day the Dominic gave us holiday
and took the whole school down to Cliff
ton beach for swim. The whole party,
parson and all, tumbled into the surf
together and the boys were profuse in
their eulogies on the teachers kind
ness: so much SO thai, ,on emerging from
the crest OF wave. Mr.. lowell was
astonished to hear himself eulogized as
"a fine old cook." by George Vauder-
bilt. Tie next day the parson
MET THE COMMODORE
On board the ferry-boat. They got
talking upon some question of financial
policy and Mr.. Towell's IDEAS of the
case did not agree with those entertain
ed by the Commodore. The argument
waxed warm, but neither of the gen.
tlemen lost his temper. At last the
Commodore, with that merry twinkle
in his clear gray eye that distinguished
him from all other men that We evel
saw. said jocularly (for he was man Of
no ea'ly cultivation) "Well, parson,
you're no chicken" "Assuredly moi
sir. replied Mr.. lowell, ''for I heard
your son George remark yesterday that
I was a fine old cock!' On hearing
this the Commodore
sUBsIDE WITH HIMSELF
Like a well-greasea telescope. We
have one more story to tell and it il
at the expense of our dear old friend
Father Florian, German Catholic
priest, who was formerly stationed al
Crescent City. California. One year.
Just before Lent. the Bishop (O'Con-
nelly of Marysville. sent ont a pastoral
letter to all TIE parish priests, forbid
ding them to eat eggs during Lent.
Father Florian wrote him back that he
would eat all the eggs be liked, as long
as he did not touch fish at the same
meal; adding that he thought it great
pity that his Grace, the Bishop, did not
issue pastoral
LETTER TO THE HENS,
Forbidding them to lay their eggs
during Lent. and thus remove the
priests from the risk of temptation
The Bishop became exceedingly exas-
perated at this apparent defiance Of
authority and suspended poor old Flori-
an for six months. But ''the boys
passed around the hat once q month
and Father Florian never wanted for
anything. He has been dead many

It does not require argument to prove itss

idleness glides into laziness and creates

How Nutmegs Grow.

An old whaler tells, in the american
Grocer, all about nutmegs. This spice,
so much used in the family, is indigenous
to the Moluccas, reaching its greatest
perfection in Amboyna. This island be-
longs to the Dutch, who do not permitthe
cultivation of the nutmeg in other islands
under their control. The nutmeg tree is
twenty-five or thirty feet high when fully
grown, with foliage of rich dark green,
and very plentiful. 1t reaches maturity
of full productiveness,. at,the fifteenth
year from planting. From The blossom
to the ripening of the fruit takes about
seven months, but as the tree is peren-
nial bearer there are always blossoms,
green fruit and ripe on the tree. The
yield is most plentiful in the last four
months of the year. The average yield
per annum of a healthy tree is five
pounds of nutmegs and one and one
fourth pounds of mace. A plantation Of
one thousand trees requires the labor of
seven coolies, fifty oxen, and two ploughs
for cultivation and harvesting. The
fruit is gathered by means of hook at
tached to long pole. It is shaped like
pear about the size of a peach, and has
"a delicate "bloom." The nut has three
coverings; the outside one is thick,
aeshy husk, having a strong favor of
nutmeg. This husk, preserved in syrup
when young, is g. fayorite sweetness. in
the East Indies. Under this husk is the
bright red mace, which is carefully fat
tened by hand in the sun. It loses its
rich scarlet and becomesfa dulf orange
color, and requires to be kept perfectly
dry to preserve its flavor. After the
mace is removed from the fruit, the nuts,
in their brown shells, are placed on
hurdles over slow fire, which is kept
constantly burning under them for two
months. The nuts then rattle in the
shells, which are cracked with wooden
mallet, the sound nuts selected and
packed in wooden cases., and sprinkled
over with dry, sifted lime, and are then
ready for market. The best nutmegs are
dense, emit oil when pricked with a pin,
and can always be known by their heavy
weight. Poor ones are light and easily
known,

- Spartanburg has the latest curiosity.
It is q wine bottle inside of grape vine
of the Tokay variety. Mr.. Thompson,
the grower, states that he cut off the vine
at point where the vine was little
larger than the bottle, and followed out
the vine so as to set the bottle in it, and
bound it up with grating wax, and the
vine grew around the bottle completely
imbedding it, and taking the exact shape
of the bottle, having the appearance of q
wooden bottle lined with glass. 1t was
five years in growing.

= sxsCamphor Woed: sA,yEs

The gahphor. b6Ses BroyRht
from China iandthe East are wellkho%n
for their strong preservative odor, and
found useful in keeping away moths
from woolens and furs. The China and
Japan Camphor tree belongs to the Lau-
fel family and ;;tliat of eS1aatra and
Borneo is t6e Dry yobalan6Ps .Camphora.
Even the leaves and fruit smell Of cam
phor. In Sumatrs this treeiis abundant
ly met with on the west coast, chiefly in
the extensive bush, but seldom in places
more than 1000 feet above the level Of
the sea. The tree is straight, extraordi-
narily tall, and ihas q gigantic crown
which often olertops the other woody
giants 100 feet or so. The stem is some-
times 20 feet thick. The Barus camphor
of this island is the most esteemed OF
any, and it is for this drug, obtained in
small quantities seldom more than halt
pound to tree-that it is ruthlesslY
destroyed. The tree, when felled, is di-
vided into small pieces, and these are
afterwards split, upon which the cam
phor, which is found in hollows or crew
ices in, the body of the tree, and above
all, in knots or swellings of branches
from the trunks, becomes visible in the
form of granules or grains. An essen.
tial oil also exudes from thetree Uncut
ting which is sometimes collected, butts
scarcely remunerative. On the west
coast of Formosa there are forests OF
Camphor-wood, and great deal of crude
camphor is shipped thence to Annoy and
other Chinese ports. Large quantities
of wood are sawn for planks. Tables and
cabinets are then made of it, and it is
also turned into platters and washing
basins. Only a small portion of the vasl
camphor forests of Formosa has been rel
claimed from its wild Inhabitants, and
this consists of fine tall trees, the growth
of ages, When tree is felled, the fines
part of the wood is sawn into planks, the

Keeping Accounts.

Keeping accounts is almost an absolute
necessity TO q farmers success. If we
should be asked what is great hindrance
to the advancement of ordinary farmers,
we should reply, the want of some sys.
,tematic,. plan in their labors, especially
the want ef some systematic mode of
keeping tner farm accounts. If We ask
them the cost of raising 100 lbs of pork,
not one in q thousand can give an answer
based Oh actual figures They guess a
bushel of corn costs so much, but their
guessing is often wide of the truth The
great majority, of farmers cannot tell the
net. income Of their farms; and hardly
know whether they are progressing,
standing still, or fetrograding, If q mer-
chant or q manufacturer should conduct
his business in this shiftless way, We
should expect him to fail, and the reason
that farmers do not more frequently fail
is that their business Is comparatively
limited. They live mainly within them
selves. The farm supports the family,
and the family taxes care Of the farm.
They would find their skill and profits
greatly to increase if they would adopt
some mode of ascertaining how much
this and that crop costs, and cultivate
such crops asd rearsueh animals as are
found to pay the best. How are we to
decide what branches Of farming are the
most profitable unless the figures of the
farm accoun. show us? I" .
Whoever makes accurate experiments
and keeps accurate accounts not only
benefits himself but the public. We
know there are many circumstances to be
considered in estimating the cost of rails
ing crops and feeding stock; and with
the greatest accuracy of observation, the
results of farm experiments are often only
approximation to the truth, but whoever
labors even for these approximations is 8
public benefactor. The general princi-
pies of practical agriculture can never be
established till We have more of these
accurate experiments on which to base

the farm is charged with all its expenses

sides this general farm account, more
