Fire safety tips from a bygone era and a coastal island sketch
A long list of home fire precautions covers escape routes, door and window use, keeping rope in bedrooms, avoiding smoke in flames, and child safety with matches. It also reflects a mixed feature section with island descriptions, a clumsy dramatic account of two boys and a court case, and a memoir of Michael Fennell and a long moralizing passage on thrift and virtue.

Fragments of curiosity and caution from varied eras
A collection of odds and ends notes social trends and anecdotes. It mentions sponges worth sixty five thousand dollars, ventilation via fireplaces, a London exhibit on perpetual motion, and high divorce rates in Vermont. Also cited are literacy gaps in the United States, large maple sugar and fruit production, and unusual quotations about luck and pluck. The piece weaves assorted items from journalism and popular thought into a mosaic of 19th century curiosities.
