Iceless Refrigerator.

Have a box made 1-2 feet high,
feet wide and Is inches deep. The
top and bottom should be solid, with
the sides of screen wire. The frokt
should be hinged to make a door.
Put in two shelves IL to Is inches
apart and bore holes in these shelves
fer better circulation of air. Use
a pan about IL inches square on the
top to hold the water, and have the
wfole thing standing in a larger pan.
Paint the pans and box white and al
low them to dry, then give a coat of
enamel A covering of white single.
faced canton flannel should be made
70 fit. Have the smooth side out and
fasten with large hooks and eyes. Ar
range one row Of hooks on the door
rear the fastening and another lust
opposite the door, so that the hens
will project over and keep out anv
warm air that might otherwise enter
the crack. Fasten this covering at
the top as we'll as the side. Two
double strips one-half the width of
the side should be sewed to the top
of each side and allowed to extend
over two or three inches into the pan
of water.
Place the refrigerator in a. shady
place, where there is a good circula-
ton Of air around it. Keep the wicks
in the supply Of fresh water in the
upper pan.
If there is a window in a shaded
place in the kitchen that is not spe-
cially needed, the iceless refrigerator
may be built to fit it, and a constant
passage of air is thus insured.
This refrigerator gives best results
in dry, hot days. 1t is not good on
the seashore, or very close to damp
places, as there is not enough evap-

FireleSs Cooker.

Select tightly built wooden box,
an old trunk, barrel, large lard tub,
or tin lard can for the outside. This
must be large enough to allow four
inches of packing all around the
we'll. If the outside is large enough
fo- two wells, there must be an al.
lOwance made for six inches of pack
ing between the two. Twenty-pound
lard cans with tight fitting tops make
good wells. A cushion four inches
thick and the size of the outer con-
tainer must be made. and stuffed with
whatever is used for packing.
Line the outer container with sew
eral layers Of newspapers or sheet
asbestos. then put in four inches Of
packing. This packing may be lint
cotton, cotton seed hulls, wool, shred
ded newspaper, Spanish moss, excel
sior, or any other substance that will
exclude air. After pressing the pack
ing in firmly, place in the wells, put
ting a thickness of asbestos under
nearth and around each, If possible.
Put packing around the wells and
tamp well. Be sure that there is
four inches Of space between the top
Of the we'll and the top of the out
side.
Cut a piece of cardboard heavy
paper, or white Oilcloth just to fit the
top, with holes for the wells; slip into
place and tack on the inside of the
outer container.
The lid to the outer part must fas-
ten tightly. Screen door-hooks and
eyes are often helpful for this.
The cooker may be painted or
stained and put on castors, if desired.
Many people find it convenient to put
large one on a frame that has
castOrs. The frame brings the cook
er up, so that it can be used without
STOPPING.
One sOapstone is necessary for
boiling, and two for baking or roast
ing. These may be obtained at hard
ware stores, for from 35 to SO cents
each. A buttOn-hok may be used to
handle the stones when hot. Always
keep stones in a dry place, and heat
slowly to avoid cracking.
After each use the cooker should
be left open several hours to air

New York, Dec. IS. - The teeth
were false, the tale is true, but what
else could the poor man do? He paus-

out to rest his face Two boys them
nfpped them from his pocket to get
the gold therefrom and hook it. Men,

and exc a crowd to see the sport.

place he jabbed 'em. Dismiss the

way. Alas! Alack! The moral of
this tale should be: Don't wear your,
