A Child's Birthday Party.

A children's party Is not always an
easy one to arrange; but the pleas
ure it gives the little people more than
repays one for all the trouble.
Of course, there must be ice cream;
it would be no party without 1t.
A simple plain ice cream is the
best for them, not too rich or served
with sauce. If one can afford some
thing a little elaborate, it is nice to
serve the cream in spun sugar nests.
These may be bought or made at
home and add an elegance to the dish.
of cream which is delight to a child.
Very pretty little cakes may be pre-
pared by using the angel food recipe
and piping the mixture through a pos
try tube on to the baking sheets in
any desired form, then bake delicate
brown.
Next to cake in Importance to the
palate of the child is the sandwich.
They are sure to like sandwiches.
Sweet ones may even take the place
of cake. Homemade bon-bons are al
ways a treat and are much more

A great variety of them may be
made with the fondant, favored. They
may be dipped in melted fondant, fla
vored and colored.
To make the fondant, boil two and
one-half pounds of sugar and cupful
of water, a half teaspoOnful of cream

forms a soft waxy pail in water. Turn
out on a mable slab or large platter
and when cool work with a wooden
spoon until ceramy. Put it into
bowl. and let it stand covered for
day to ripen. 1t is then ready to make
into any desired candy.
The charm of the party will not be
fully appreciated until the birthday
cake appears. frightened by its rosy
candles.
A board that may be kept for years
and serve for any number of birthdays

On Lifting Cats and Rabbits.

Ii Is mistaken idea that the proper
way TO lift a full grown cat is by the
nape Of its neck without supporting
the lower part of its body with the
other hand. Ii is true that the mother
cat carries young kittens by grasping
In her mouth the loose skin at the
back OF her ofrsprings neck. but a
tiny kitten is u very different matter
from large cat. and. indeed. the only
way TO lift kitten without squeezing
or hurting its soft little body is to lift
1t by its neck. But after it has grown
larger its own weight Is too great to
be supported by such a bit Of skin and
FUR as Is so grasped by the hand, and
many a cat suffers perfect tortures by
being held I'm this manner and is quite
helpless TO run or struggle. as In such
position certain of its muscles can
not be controlled, and it is absolutely
at the mercy of its unconscious tor
mentor.
The same rule should be observed in
lifting rabbits by their ears. They
should always be partially supported
by the free hand and not allowed to
dangle with their whole weight strain.
Ing from their large but necessarily
delicate ears.-Watchword.

six great packing companies and TWEEN
ty-one packers, was indicted by a
grand jury in Hudson county, New

The indictment is drawn under the
law Of New Jersey, which provides
upon conviction a maximum penalty
of three years in the penitentiary or
q $1,000 fine. or both. The offense is
extraditable, which practically meaus
that the meat barons of this country
must either successfully resist extra
dition or come to Jersey City for trial.

Of Hudson county. announced that he
would forthwith notify the defend
ants of their Indictment and would be
