Coal Oil q q Remedy.

There is no doubt of the efficacy of
coal oil for hog cholera, quinsy and
chicken cholera. Mr.. BAIL Isle, a
we'll to do farmer of this county, had
had about sixty hogs down with guinsy
and cholera, and had abandoned the
hope Of saving them, especially those
attacked with quinsy- His fat hogs,
ready for market, were mostly helpless,
when q friend proposed to drench them
with coal oil, which relieved and cured
without loss of a hog. The remedy is
given in this way: The hog is gagged,
pulled up on the fence and about a half
q t%eacupiul of coal oil poured down for
the quinsy; the throat is rubbed ex-
ternally. For the cholera or kidney
disease, pour the oil along the back af-
ter dreDching. Mr.. Isle also relieved
his chickens and those of his neighbors
by the same remedy. Your c%orrespon-
dent remained over night with Mr..
Lisle and vouches for these facts, with
similar cures in that and other sections
by this application.
The Red Cloud chief., 1876-02-24
Sweeping,

Very few persons sweep we'll. Some
take long strokes with a broom, creating
wind, and sending the dust into the air.
When they are through sweeping, they
have taken very little dirt from the
room, and the dust settles again On the
floor and furniture. 1t takes time to
sweep properly; the strokes should be
trm and short, creating very little wind.
This open winter will cause a great
deal of sweeping; and many will be
obliged to take up their sitting room
carpets before spring. Whenever snow
can be procured, and the rooms are SO
cold that it will not melt, cover the
carpet thickly with it. Scrub 1t around
with a broom, and when it is swept off
the snow will be black, and the carpet
Will look as clean as if freshly shaken.
Any one who has used snow on their
carpets once, will be embracing every
opportunity to have a snow sweep. Il
IS excellent for sweeping bed rooms-no
dust in the air to settle. 1t Can be used
on the best Of carpets without detri.
ment. provided the rooms are so cold
that the nOw does not melt.
The Red Cloud chief., 1876-02-24
Climbing Plants.

After the tendrIls of climbing plants
have attached themselves TO a support,
whether by twining about it OF fixing
upon it the flattened discs at their ex-
tremities, they rapidly increase in size
and stength. The tendrils of the Vir-
ginia creeper (AmDelopsis 'quinquJolia,)
popularity but wrongly called American
woOdbine, are terminated after their
contact with some oil ject, with discs,
which are at first gorged with fluid, but
ultimately become woody. The tendrils
live but a single season, yet still adhere
firmly in a dead state to the stem. and to
the surface of attachment. Darwin says,
in his recent work on Climbing Plants
that the strength and durability of these
dead tendrils are wonderful. "There
are tendrils now adhering to my house."
he writes. Switch are still strong, and
nave been exposed to the weather in a
dead state for fourteen or fifteen years.
One single lateral branchlet of a tendril
had five disc-bearing branches OF equal
thickness, and apparently of equal
strength; So that, after having been ex-
posed during ten years to the weather,
it would probably have resisted a strain
of tek pounds"

The Timidiiy If orators.

-
A writer of the Fortnightly Reriep
asks whether artists. and especially ora
tors, are peculiarly liable to the sensa
ton of pain and TO fear. He thinks
that they are, and attributes it to an I'M
usually sensitive organization. Peel is
believed to lave owed his death to being
unable to bear IN operation which a
less sensitive man might have borne.
An eminent operator described Bishop
Wilberforce as a"bundle of nerves." and
as the most sens tive patient he had ever
known. Orators, as sruie, show a pain
full anxiety about their own speeches, and
tOilsOme uneasiness seems a condition
of their success. A junior counsel once
congratulated Sir William Toilet on his
perfect cOmposure in prospect OF a great
case. Sir William merely asked his
friend to feel his hand, which was wet
with anxiety. The late Lord Derby said
that his principal speeches cost him two
sleepless nights-one in which he was
thinking what to say, the other in which
he vas lamenting what he might have
said better. Cicero, according to Piu-
tarch, mot only wanted courage il arms,
but in his speaking also; he began tim
idly, and in many cases, he scarcely left
of trembling and shaking ever when he
got thoroughly into the current and sub
stance OF his speech"
The Red Cloud chief., 1876-02-24
Household Hints,

A lady in McGregor, Iowa, sends
these: A strengthening liniment, good
for lameness, weakness; also for bathing
the stomach in cases Of dyspepsla-take
one beef's gall, two ounces of origanum
Oil, one pint alcohol; mix thoroughly;
keep tightly corked; shake we'll before
using.
For rheumatism takc two teaspoon.
fuls of cayenne pepper to a tsacupful
of good vinegar; heat together slowly,
but not quite boil; bottle it. Ba. he
the parts affected.
If brooms are wet in boiling suds
c a week they will become very
tough, will not cut a carpet, but last
much longer, and always sweep like a
new broom. A handful or SO of salt
sprinkled on the carpet will carry the
dust along with it and make the carpet
look bright and clean. A very dusty
carpet may be cleaned by setting a pail
of cold water out by the door, wet the
broom in it, knock it to get off all the
drops, sweep a yard or SO, then wash the
broom as before and sweep again, being
careful to shake off all the drops off the
broom and not sweep far at a time. If
done with care it will clean a carpet
