Weather signs and wool rising as war prices soar
Pfintmer's Colm offers weather lore and signs of coming changes such as rosy sunsets or gray dawns, with birds and animals signaling wind or rain. It also urges extensive sheep raising amid wartime cost hikes, wool shortages, and rising clothing prices, citing England's 1640 embalmed Lady Audry Leigh coffin for historical note.

Sharp tools and keen wit as progress engines
A column of moralizing notes extols grinding tools to sharp edges as a metaphor for civil vigor. It celebrates skilled crafts, cites a Greenock youth who built a sixty four gun ship with only a knife, and praises Batavia as a richly suited oriental capital. It ends with a discussion of currency depreciation, then a sweeping portrait of Russia’s empire and ambitions.
