Novel Uses for Old Papers.

Most housekeepers know how inval-
liable newspapers are for packing away
the winter clothing, the printing ink
acting as defiance to the stoutest
moth as successfully as canphor 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, however, is their ability to
keep out the air. 1t is well known that
ice completely cnveloped in newspapers
so that all air is shut out. will keep
a longer time than under other condi-
tions, and that a pitcher of ice water
laid in a newspaper with the ends OF
paper twisted together to exclude the
air, will remain all night in any sum-
mer room with scarcely any percepti-
BILE 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 ice is scarce,
pack the freezer only three-Guarters full
of ice and salt, and finish with news
papers, and quality of the cream is not
perceptible from the result where the
freezer is packed full Of ice. After re-
moving the dasher it 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 readily in the ice better than a
packing of cracked ice and salt Which
must have crevices to admit the air

RED DEER AND CARIBOU.
Unexplained Antipathy of the Latter
For the Ecrmer.

The disappearance of caribou before
the invading herds of red or Virginia
deer is one of the puzZling facts Of
natural history. Tho red deer are not
half the size Of the caribou, yet it is
beyond dispute that even where the
latter exist in largest numbers they
will rapidly disappear before the ad-
vance of the former. Years, ago carl
bou abounded in the woods of northern
Maine and in the province of Quebec.
Then the graceful little red deer
driven north and west by the wolves,
gradually spread into the home of the
caribou, and within season or two
the latter had become as scarce in
their old home as the red deer preVi-
ously had been.
On the other hand, the north country
Of Canada, in the neighborhood of
Lake ST. John and ST. Maurice which
formerly supported vast herds of deer
has been completely deserted by them
for many years past, though moose
and caribou are plentiful. Equally far
north, in the Ottawa and Gatineau
country, red deer and moose are found
in very large numbers, but no caribou.
Owing largely, it is supposed, to the
increase in the number of wolves, the
range of the red deer is rapidly extend
ing to the south and cast, and speci-
mems have been seen and killed in
parts of the country north of Quebec,
where they had not been seen before
for more than q generation. The In
dian and other hunters are already
fcretelling the disappearance of the
caribou from this part of the country,
where they are at present very abund-
ant.
There is theory that the instinct Of
the caribou tells them that an invasion
Of their feeding grounds by the dee:
IS que to the pursuit Of the latter by
tine wolves, and that it is the horror
of these pests which leads them to for
sake any territory to which they seem
% know that their distasteful neigh
Lors are fleeing for refuge. There arc
not wanting careful observers among
Canadian woodsmen who attribute to
jealousy Of the little Virginia deer, al
tie approach OF the mating season, the
action Of the caribou in fleeing with its
mate from the company and the coun.
try Of his gay little rival. The prob
leEl is a most interesting one, and is
on pa ring the attention of MANY inyes-
tigators.-NeW York Sum-.

The Care of Lamp.

1t is possible, if proper care is exer'
cised, to have lamps almost odorless
The best lamp in the world for reading
purposes is a student lamp. The first
consideration in purchasing lamp OF
any description is that it is safe.
In lighting lamp the wick should
be turned down and left down until the
chimney and shade arc replaced; tlier
gradually tGrncd up. This will save
the chimney.
A lamp should be eXtinsuished by
turning down he wick and then pull
ing the extinguisher. If there is nc
extinguisner, blow across the Top Of the
chimney, never down into it. s
Once in every two or three weeks the
burner should be washed in strong soap
suds or in soda water. Many persons
boil them i'll soda water, but 1t is hard
ly necessary.
A few bubbles of air in the oil tank
Of students lamp will often prevent
free flow of oil through the narrow
pipe burner causing the lamp to give
a dim, yellow light When filling the
students lamp bear this in mind, and
fill the tank to the top, and if any all
bubbles appear, break them.

FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH.
A Serious Mistake Which Thou
sands Are Making.

The first stage OF catarrh is what is
commonly known as Catching cold; 1t
may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs.
Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to
cause a chill and considerable fever, or it
may be so slight as to not hinder a person
from his usual business. In perhaps a
majority of cases little or no attention
is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and
hence it is that nearly one-ha!f OF the peo-
pie have chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as any one discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle,
