Uses for Old Paper.

N ost housekeepers know how Invaluable
newspapers are for packing away the win
ter clothing, the printing ink acting as
defiance to the stoutest moth, some house
wives think, as successfully as camphor or
tar paper For this reason newspapers are
invaluable under the carpet, laid over the
regular carpet paper. The most valuable
quality of newspapers in the kitchen, how
ever, is their ability to keep out the air.
1t is well known the ice, completely en-
veloped in newspapers so that all air is
is shut out, will keep longer time than
under other conditions; and that pitcher
of ice water laid in a newspaper, with the
ends of the paper twisted together to ex-
clude the air, will remain all night without
any perceptible melting of the ice. These
facts should be utilized oftener than they
are in the care of the sick at night. In
freezing ice cream, when the ice is scarce,
pack the freezer only three-quarters full of
ice and salt, and finish with newspapers,
and the difference in the time of freezing
and quality of the cream is not perceptible
from the result where the freezer is packed
full of ice. After removing the dasher, 1t
is better to cork up the cream and cover it
tightly with packing Of newspapers than
to use more ice. The newspapers retain
the cold already in the ice better than a
packing Of cracked ice and salt, which
must have crevses to admit the air.

Sally CONQUERED.


Many OF the settlers Of Illinois were rude
in speech and rough in manner. Money
was scarce with them, and service was
paid for in produce. Governor B., accord
ing to the New York Ledger. used to illus
trate these incidents Of frontier life by the
following anecdote: One day when be
was justice of the peace there came to his
office young man, accompanied by a
young woman.
.'Be you the squire'" asked the manly
youth.
ayes, sir"
"Can you tie the knot for US right away
Yes. sir
How much do You charger
''one dollar is the legal fee, sir. ."
viii you take your fee in beeswax'"
"Yes, if you can't pay cash.
Well, 70 ahead and tie the knot, and
III fetch in the wax
NO" said the squire, thinking there
was a good chance for a little fun; bring
in the beeswax first. and then I'll marry
you"
Reluctantly the youth went out to where
was hitched the horse upon which. Darby
and Joan fashion, the pair had ridden, and
brought the wax in a sack. On being
weighed its value was found to be only
about half dollar.
''Wall, said the anxious groom, tie tht
knot and I'll fetch more wax next week.
NO, sir; l don't trust; that's against
the rules of this office
Slowly the disappointed youth turned tC
20 out saying;
Come, Sal; let's goi'
Il say, Mister" answered Sal, with 1
womans Wit, cant you marry us as far a
the wax will go?"
''Yes, 1 can and will, " replied the squire
| laughing; and he did.

the wires and the glass fronts Few of
these birds inhabit this region, and some
rare specimens were captured alive and

BE shrewd aud selfish as you can:
You'll not be poor
Be nothing unto any man.
And close your door
To those who call on your for aid;
Turn them away
They are no good-their play is played
They've had their day.
Get all you can, and all you get
Securely keep;
And when at last you die, you bet.
No one will weep"
All things have their uses. If man
had no enemies be would not know how 10
his friends.
