USES OF CHARCOAL.

Charcoal, laid flat, while cold, on
burn, causes the pain to abate iamedi-
ately; by leaving it on for an hour, the
burn seems almost healed, when it is SUI
perfcial. And charcoal is valuable for
many other purposes. Tainted meat,
surrounded with it, is sweetened; strewn
over heaps of decomposed pelts, or over
dead animals, it prevents an unpleasant
odor. Foul water is purified by it. 1t
is great disinfectant, and sweetens the
air if placed in trays around apartments.
It is SO very porous in its "minute in
terror" it absorbs and condenses gases
most rapidly. One cubic inch of fresh
charcoal will absorb nearly 100 of CASE
GUS ammonia Charcoal forms an un-
rivaled poultice for malignant wounds
and sores, often corroding away dead
flesh, reducing it one-quarter in six
hours. In cases of what we call proud
flesh it is invaluable. It gives no disa-
greeable odor, corrodes no metal, hurts
no texture, Injuries no color, is simple
and safe sweetener and disinfectant. A
teaspoonful Of charcoal in half a glass
OF water often relieves sick headache;
it absorbs the gases and relieves the dis
tended stomach pressing against the
nerves, which extend from the stom-
ach to the head.

"I have come in answer to your adj
vertisement for board" said nervous
old lady to pert miss Of 13, as the latter
showed her into parlor Of all the COM
forts of a home establishment on Henry
street. "But won't come here unless
your house is perfectly quiet. now re-
member that.
"Quiet well, you may smile, replied
Miss. "That noise you here now is the
dentist in the basement pulling out
tooth, but he'll get it out, if it takes him
month. How much can you afford to
pay?"
81 think I hear some one upstairs
shouting" said the old lady.
"That's only young lawyer prac-
ticing case. You'll get used to him.
Nobody liked it at first, but we've all
got used to it and don't mind it now.
Got any children? We don't take

"No, haven't. Who's that yelling

"That's the landlord trying to collect

and you've got to howl at him. You'll
have to pay in advance if you come
here"
"Good gracious What's that ?" ejac-
ulated the old lady, as a furious din
swept through the lower regions.
"I guess the cook is driving grandma
out of the kitchen with the clothespole.
She often does that. Have you got
much baggage?"
ssSakes alive! Somebody is being
murdered upstairs! Who is it?
ooh that's literary fellow on the
top floor. Whenever he writes anything
he squeals like pig. But he generally
writes at night, and you needn't pay any
attention to him."
"What are your terms ?-good heaven,

Certainly ; if Twas that gun?"

times he's road agent, and then he robs

money of your own?
ssNever mind whether have or not
don't think I want room here, any
way. Let me out, please"
Couldn't let you have one, anyhow"
retorted Miss, preparing to slide down
the balustrade. "There's only one emp
ty one, and that's too high-priced for
you; besides, you don't wear very good
clothes, and we prefer not to have you
around" And down the slide she went
with whiz-z, while the old lady pat

NEW IDEAS OF SIBERIA.

The popular idea of Siberia is of q
cold and barren country, a fit prison for
the state criminals of Russia. One
would as soon think of emigrating to
Alaska or to Greenland, in search of q
comfortable home. as to this huge Rus
sian province In Asia. But popular no.
tions need correction, and this one is
wide of the truth.
Ii Siberia had good government, it
would present many temptations to
farming emigrants. Its supply of pas
trlre for cattle is inexhaustible, and it
deserves to rank as one of the best graz
ing countries in the world. California
is beginning to import cattle from ST.
IBERIA, and at great profit.
The river valleys contain as fine
wheat lands as our Western prairies,
and, with fair cultivation, could be
made to yield immense crops. AS the
harvests of Russia are beginning to fail,
and it can no longer supply the defcien-
cies of Western Europe, Siberia may
yet become new granary. The chief
obstacles at present are lethargic pop
ulation, destitute of all enterprise, and
the absence of all facilities for reaching
good markets. But the right class OF
emigrants would soon remedy these
difficulties. and Siberia certainly holds
great possibilities of growth.

EMBROIDERED HANDKERCHIEFs.- TO
wash fine cambria handkerchief, en-
broidered in colored silks, so that the
colors do not run, the secret is to wash
in a soap lather very quickly, wiring thor
oughly and then iron, SO thatit dries at
once. There should be no soaking, and
the embroidered corner kept out OF

alum in the water will make the process
more sure.

CHINESE BABIES.

The Chinese have many very strange
superstitions, but none more 80 than
that concerning the demoniacal possess
sion of their babies. If an infant from
the time of it's birth has frequent spells
of crying, and is Of very peevish dis
position, the parents conclude at once
that Sam Ku Lok Pc, as the hobgoblin
is called, has taken up its abode in the
child, while the baby's true soul is wan
dering somewhere in space. They there
upon take dried banana skin, burn it to
ashes, and mix it with water, so as to
make sort Of inky compound. The
mother now dips her forefnger into the
ink and paints a cross on the baby's
forehead, with the words, 81 paint this
cross to drive thee the demon] away. :"
Another method of exorcism is to
blacken the infants face. Banana skin
does not necessarily form an ingredient
this time; any ink will do. The par
ents wait until the babe is in a sound
slumber. when they take the ink and
blacken its face, with their fingers
brush would not be eficacious. In a
short time the demon which has taken
possession Of the child returns, prepare
tory to its awakening for the soul wan
ders from the body during sleep, and is
free and seeing the blackened face, ex-
claims, "Lawk-a-mercy this can't be
L" or words to that effect, and decamps
precipitately. The true soul, which has
been waiting for an opportunity, APP
proaches the dormant body. Now is
the time for the parents to wash off the
ink with all speed; the soul recognizes
its true easement, and the babe awakes
in a natural state. Woe betide it should
not the ink have been washed off at the
right moment, for then the true soul
will, like the demon, fail to recognize
the body, and sorrowfully leave it, and
the little one dies in sleep. On account
Of the supposed possibility of such an
occurrence, the parents seldom use this
latter method, which is called the face
blackeniag," but prefer to make the
cross on the forehead

HoNoRINd 4 MOrHERs FEELINGS


A burglar entered house in which a
mother was sitting up with sick child.
"Sr," she said in whisper, as soon
as she could compose herself to speak,
"there is nothing OF value in this house
except that child's life, at least to me,
but you may find otherwise. Here, take
my keys, search everywhere, take what
you want, but speedily and withoutnoise,
I implore you"
She handed him the keys, placed her
finger to her lip, and pointed to the
door.
The burglar moved quietly away, then
turned and said in low voice:

oAR0LINA CHEROKEEs.

The Eastern band of Cherokees has
its own peculiar government, the head
being Chief Smith, or Tsa-la-te-he. He
is, by virtue of his Office, entitled to a
salary of $500, but this sum has never
been paid him by his people. He is A
years Of age, was born in Cherokee
county. Once year the people OF the
Eastern band assemble at Yellow Hill,
the seat of the Indian Government, IN
Swain county. Chief Smith presides at
these grand councils. They are inter-
esting ceremonials, though a trlie
strange, partaking both Of a Legislative
assembly and of that Of the purely prim-
tive "pow-wow Of the noble red man.
About one-third of the Indians of the
proper sex and age are voters, and take
lively interest in political matters.
The others do not vote and are apathetic
on questions Of the day. The subject OF
education has recently begun to be
much discussed among them. Hereto
fore. when left to their own resources,
they have paid but little attention to
educational matters. A fund of $780, 900
lies in Washington, in charge of the In
dian Commissioner, to their credit.
There are some hundreds Of Chero-
KEGS and few Catawbas and Creeks in
the extreme northern portion of Geor-
gia, but these never attend the councils
of the Eastern band in North Carolina,
nor are they under the rule Of Chief
Smith. The Indians are, as is ever their
wont, extremely simple in their habits.
They live in log houses mainly and dress
in the plain costume of the mountain
GERS. Gone are the plumes Of eagles
feathers, the necklace of bears claws,
while war-paint and tomahawk are as
much things of the past as coats of mail
or maces are to us. The only indication
/ of that passionate love for personal
adornment which is characteristic Of the
savage is found in the gay turbans worn
occasionally by some aged member OF
the tribe. The health of the Indians is
IN the main good, and in that pure air
and glorious woodland where they dwell
should be perfect. But occasionally dis
eases become epidemic, and in 1866
smallpox played havoc with them. Last
year pneumonis slew numbers. They
know no treatment for these diseases
but are rendered helpless for fear OF

Ex-SPEAKER CouFAx furnished the
following Renaissance OF the late Fer
nando Wood: Between himself and Mr..
Wood there existed pleasant personal
relations, although the latter had placed
himself on the furthest plank of oppo-
sition to the war and war legislation.
One day in debate, while denouncing a
proposed measure Of reconstruction Mr..
Wood said: Z" This would justly be re-
garded as one of the most infamous acts
Of this most Infamous Congress" He
paused at these words, evidently expect
ing what Immediately followed. Hon.
Robert Schenck demanded that the
words be taken down, and introduced a
resolution that Mr.. Wood be censured
at the bar of the House for his remarks.
The expression was evidently-a studied
one, and Mr.. Wood awaited the result
with the spirit and air of an expectant
martyr. He hoped to make political
capital in his district by wearing the
decoration of a vigorous personal CEN
sure from the Speaker Of the Republic
can Congress A few days before MIR.
Colfax had been reading an English
parliamentary work, in which there was
speech OF Speaker Of the House Of
Commons in censure Of d member for
using words derogatory Of Parliament.
While the yeas and nays were being
taken on the resolution Mr.. Colfax
thought Of this speech, and, sending his
secretary to the library, he had the vol
ume in his hands by the time Mr.. Wood
had presented himself at the bar. Much
to Mr.. Woods surprise, instead Of the
political lecture he had anticipated, Mr..
Colfax read this British speech, which
was to the effect that, "While much
could be pardoned for the heat of politi-
cal debate and party difference, there
was no excuse or extenuation for per-
son who deliberately smirched the char
acter and impugred the House of the
body of which he himself was mem
ber." Mr.. Colfax added to the English
Speakers address the expression that
"no words of mine can add to the just
ness and severity Of this censure, " and
dismissed Mr.. Wood to his seat. Re
turning to his place on the floor, the
New York member said "Mr. Speaker,
may proceeds" and, leave being given,
he continued his speech, beginning, GAS
I was saying" but was careful not to
repeat the Objectionable phrase.

An OLD right Renswea.

There were ramor on the street yester-
day of trouble between the authorities Of
the Richmond and Albion mines. and 1t Is
undoubtedly true that the old sore has
broken out anew. The story goes that Joe
Potts caused the connecting door between
the two mines to be broken down, and that
he entered, or attempted to enter, Rich
mond ground. but was driven back by a
Richmond force armed with shotguns and
Bourbon, headed by William Harris.
This is the story as it goes, and must be re-
ceived with a good many grains OF allow
ancc. We don't believe the fighting part.
William Harris is as desperate a man as
ever chucked a pretty girl under the chin,
and Joe Potts hasn't any enemies. A man
without enemies can't fight, so there Is nc
apprehension. Step up to the bar, gentle
men; we'll take q small glass Of beer.
