CRUELTY TO POULTRY.


The day may come yet when poultry
buyers will be arrested for cruelty to
animals for carrying a rooster upside
down from market
It's just the same as to take man
by the legs and stand him on his head.
Wouldn't there be a hubbub if a
mother should carry her baby in that
style?
She would be called "a cruel, in
human monster" be sent to an insti-
tuition and her child be given to a
society.
But to the Almighty cruelty is
cruelty, whether to man, beast. fowl
or other living creature, and when he
says blessed are the merciful. for
they shall obtain mercy" he does not
mean that if a man is kind to his
child he may go out and kick old Fan.
starve Rover or mistreat Biddy
A woman bought a chicken at mar
ket and when she had carried it up
side down for block found it was
dead. She rushed back and charged
the dealer with selling her a sick fowl
They were having an awful fuss
when we passed, and our opinion was
at once demanded by the market mas
ter. By simply pressing out the fowls
tongue we showed the entrance to
the windpipe closed with feed that
had run from the crop when she car
ried the fowl head down.
That is why fowl struggles to get
a natural position and curls it's head
and neck up against its breast when
carried thus.
The blood not only rushes to its
head, but it is in danger of strangling
Think. too, of carrying a duck in
this manner. A Pekin, for instance,
often weighs ten or twelve pounds,
and its short legs aren't made to carry
such q weight.
Pekins are weak and very sensitive
and easily crippled, and think what
torture it must be for them to be car
ried head downward.
Better carry your fowls head up un-
der your arm or resting in the hollow
of your arm.
In line with this is crowding live
poultry into crates, tying them with
sharp, cutting twine, exposing them to
cold, frosty winds on the way to mar
ket, haggling them in killing, scalding
them while yet alive and other prac-
tices that are really barbarous and
not appropriate to our profession OF
Christianity and civilization.

Homemade Cosmetics.

Any woman who intends making cos
metics must first understand certain
fundamental rules or she will only
waste materials.
; Fats, such rs spermaceti, wax and
others naturally hard. are to be sof.
tened before mixing with other things
They may even be melted a little, but
two facts are TO be borne in mind
One is that direct heat must never be
employed A bath" is the only way.
by which is meant putting the ma.
terials into a china or glass vessel and
placing this in hot water. Direct heat
will ruin fats.
The other detail is that once fats be
come actually hot they are ruined and
will not harden when cold. The ideal
method is to break the solids into small
and regular bits and soften them in
the bath. If they melt, then the LIQUID
will be only warm and not hot unless
the bath is made too hot.
When liquids are to be combined
with grease, as roSewater in cold
cream. the mixing must be slow and
gether they will not blend. The stream
Of liquid should be not more than a
thread in size. and if the mixture be.

turned for moment to the bath. con

Still another point is that glass or
china should always be the receptacle

some formulas will ruin the results
through chemical action. Stirring, if
metal is employed, must be done with
silver. An ivory paper cutter is good.
only one must be certain it is ivory
and not celluloid. Bone is ideal for
almost any chemical work, and a glass
rod is unequaled.
When toilet waters are being com
pounded they must stand always for
ten days before opening, and three
months will bring better results.
Homemade powders are rarely success
ful only because they are not mixed
sufficiently. Ten times is none too
many to pass "A formula through
coarse muslin.
Another cause of failure is that in
experienced persons attempt to work
the perfumed oils used into the pow

oils.
Smoothness is impossible in either
case, but in the latter way if few
grains are absorbed at time all the
oil is taken up. and many siftings will
finally distribute it, the Jumps being
forced through the cloth each time

Best WAY to Wash Flannel.

Flannels should be washed in warm
suds that have had a little ammonia
added to them. The flannels should
be rubbed between the hands, not on
a board, and dipped up and down in
the suds until they are free from dirt
and stains. Squeeze them with the
hands until as much water as possible
is removed and then rinse in water of
the same temperature as that in which
they were washed. Wiring out again,
hang in the shade and press them out
on the wrong side while still damp.
Flannels should never be placed in the
sun to dry or they will shrink. Spe-
cial care should also be taken when
rubbing the garments to see that all
the dirt is removed before they are
wrung out and hung up to dry.

There are various preparations sold
by manicures to remove stains under
the finger nails. With careful laws
most of these can be relied upon, but
if there is any doubt about a special
preparation substitute lemon juice.
As stain remover it is excellent
and the woman who keeps half a lem
on on the stationary washstand where
she washes her hands rarely will havt.
to blush for the unsightliness of her
nails.
OXalic acid is also good, but is in
furious to some skins. 1t should be
applied with a bit of cotton on the
end of an orange wood stick. In using
the lemon the tips of the fingers can
be rubbed into a section of it. Later
rinse well with clear water.
Stains on the sides of the fingers
are quickly removed with moist
pumice stone. This is invaluable to
get off the first blotches after preserv-
ing, painting or doing any disfiguring
work. In cases where the skin under
the nails has roughened a little pow
dered pumice can be mOistened with
lemon juice and applied with an
orange wood stick.
