know how to refrigerate without ice. 
In the country, as a rule, this is a seri¬

Naming the Baby. 
What to name the baby is often » 
vexing question, for there are usually 
A galvanized iron box, say three feet so many people to please. It seems as if

with an inner box two inches smaller 
and closed in front; a few stays must 
be put between the two boxes to keep 
them apart two inches, and brace them 
at the same time. An inlet on top with 
a funnel will admit the water, which 
fills the space all around the box. When 
the water becomes too warm it can be 
let off at the outlet. The water should 
be renewed twice a day; the box should 
be put in the coolest place, preferably 
in the cellar near the wall. If running 
water can be used, the question becomes 
very simple; attach a rubber hose to 
your nearest outlet and connect with 
the inlet of the box. In this way it 
would be advisable to have a continual 
running stream, regulated by the spig- 
got on top and outlet below. The in¬ 
might be chosen that would suit all the 
family at least. It is a good plan to 
talk over names awhile before giving 
them to helpless children. Imagine the 
feelings of the twins who were christ¬ 
ened Hamilton and Eglantine, but were 
always called Ham and Eggs! Plain, 
sensible names are liked best, by the 
majority of people, such as William, 
Edward, • Charles, George, Frederick, 
Mary, Sarah, Clara, Edith and Florence, 
or else very old-fashioned ones as 
Lucian, Alfred, Robert, Martin, Wesley, 
Elizabeth, Cornelia, Dorothy, Beatrice, 
Nancy and Helen. There are many 
Bible names that are favorites such as 
James, John, Nathaniel, Paul, Luke, 
Mark, Miriam, Esther and Ruth. Per¬ 
sonally I like these old-fashioned names 
To Can Beets Without Vinegar. 
The.only way I have ever heard of 
is to use the jars with metal caps. 
They have not been in use more than 
three or four years, around here. As 
my husband and I are very fond of 
and neither of us 
like them with vinegar, I had made 
many attempts to find a way to can 
them, and find these jars just perfec¬ 
tion for them. Prepare them as for 
cooking, pack into the jars, fill with 
cold water, salted a little. Put 
covers, having the jars running o 
and the clamps. Place in a kettle 
pour in cold water up to the ne 
Boil two hours. It can be less t 
We usually eat them cold for supper, 
as they come from the jar; but, if 
preferred warm, the best way I have 
found to heat them so as to preserve 
the rich, red color is to set the jar 
in cold or warm water and heat it 
till the beets in the jar are thoroughly 
heated. I find in my recipe book (one 
comes with every box of a dozen 
caps) they say to boil the beets in a 
saucepan thirty minutes then remove 
carefully the skins and pack into these 
metal-topped jars. Fill with cold salted 
water, cover and clamp, and boil one 
hour. MRS. L. c. L.
