Chicken to Fatten l lim
Kunming chickens by force and mc-
tiiical incaiiH to f itten them for tin
ukct is a latter day evolution of the
id try trade in England
I he cramming oJ poultry is not
rhcr new It was practiced n geese
ml to an extent on liens many years
40 by a hand process but now me-
ianical invention has been brought to
ear on this industry
Cramming has been carried to great
perfection of recent years For a week
or two the fowl is allowed to feed it
Jlf in order thai it may get a crop
Then more resolute measures are taken
A generation ago it was done by hand
The feeder made little pellets of food
about the size of acorns which were
dipped in milk and forcibly thrust
down the gullet Now the French plan
is being more and more adopted in
England
The fattening room is fitted up with
tiers of tiny stalls just large enough
for a chicken to turn in Here the
birds have nothing to do but sit and
grow fat The cramming apparatus is
a kind of pump on wheels containing
a reservoir filled with food of the con
sistency of paste and made of Indian
and barley meal mixed with milk This
is squirted through a thin tube when
FOHCED TO EAT WHETUEK HONOBT OR
XOT
the treadle is pressed by the foot The
attendant takes each fowl in his arms
gently opens its mouth with his hand
and thrusting the tube down its throat
into the crop pumps in a supply of food
It is done so quickly that an expert
can feed forty dozen birds in an hour
Experience has taught him the exact
quantity A beginner is liable to make
two serious mistakes He may easily
burst the crop if he does not know ex
actly when to stop and he must learn
to keep the birds neck on the stretch
if he does that the tube passes down
without meeting any obstruction but
should there be any slackness or twist
ing there is great danger of hurting
the throat Success largely depends on
taking care that one supply of food is
digested before the next is given The
fowls are crammed twice a day once
between 7 and S in the morning and
once about dark If the condition of
the crop shows that digestion has not
taken place the bird is not fed and if
the stoppage continues a purgative is
given When sour food is left on the
stomach it soon begins to show the con
sequences in a dark unhealthy looking
skin which contrasts markedly with
the bright pink flesh of a fowl in good
condition

process is profitable Chambers Jour
nal gives the experience of a London
poultry dealer as proof A lor of fowls
were sent him from the country He
sold a few at 18 pence 30 cents each
lie sent the others to his fatting estab
i lishmenf kept them under t rearm en
j two weeks and sold them for CG cent

Origin of the Sandwich
The Earl of Sandwich an English
nobleman of the last century was a
notorious gambler He became so in
fatuated with the chances of the
J ing table as to give little heed to the
hours for food or sleep This so dis
turbed his household and its manage
ment that his -wife insisted that the
meals should be served at the hours
appointed whether the master of the
feast was at home or abroad Consid
ering his comfort however the butler
was ordered to place in the carriage a
little basket containing bread and
meat cut in slices that her liege lord
might appease his hunger if his stay
were prolonged in the gaming hall
The practice became well known an
luncheons thus prepared were bene
forth called sandwiches

PETTICOAT OF FLANNEL
FLANNEL petticoat used to be
A a flannel petticoat no matter
how much jou embroidered it
But now it is made in ways that were
never dreamed of in the days when
flannel skirt miking was an art The
newest ones show yokes of white taf
feta to make the waist smaller Wash
silk is used and the flannel which is
very fine is gathered on the silk yoke
The principal trimming is ribbon This
THE NEWEST FLANNEL SKIPTS
is used for strapping the seams and
tor decorating the top of the ruffle
When lace is put on the ilaun is cut
out underneath and the lace strength-en-ed
with coarse thread stitches put
on invisibly Ruffles of ribbon are set
underneath the skirt or dr op flounces
of white needlework Fiiero is a pat
tern of hand embroidery upon every
flannel skirt but it is done as a finisli
to the ribbon and lace and not as the
main trimming of the skirt
The Kisrlits of y Young Wife
Before everything else the young
woman has a right to expect from her
husband tenderness sympathy and
faith says Ruth Ash more writing in
the Ladies Home Journal of What to
Expect from a Youug Man But
sometimes in his eagerness to make all
life fair to her he fancies she is a doll
and not a vynan And a doll is a very
selfish toy It demands careful treat
ment all the time and it gives nothing
but a pretty appearance in return It
is the foolisi wife who expects infalli
bility in her husband She forgets that
there is i difference between the
housewife and the house moth She
should exprct from her husband polite
ness at all iinies and a certain gentle
ness that -very man possessing the
real instinct of a man gives to a wom
an Bui she should not expect from
him too much She has no right what
vcr io ask of him permission to live a
lazy life herself and to give up all her
days and years to vain and idle
Thoughts When the wife can
uak her husbands home coming a
joy his home staying a pleasure and a
deiight and his leaving home a sor
row then and then only can she cx
pecl a great deal from him
Coilliin for a Narrow Face
The hair should be dressed round to
suit a long narrow face It is always
best to show a coil or so from the side
behind the ears also endeavor to fill
up the nape of the neck as much as pos
sible For a sharp featured face al
ways avoid dressing ho hair right at
he top of the back of the crown in a
iiie wiih hc nose as this so accentu
ates the severe outlines Dress the
hair low or else quite to the crown top
io meet the fringe For a round face
narrow dressings are becoming and can
be taken uell down the neck
Nevr Callinvr for Women
The Parish Council of Langley near

Women are more often too short than
too tall Height they think must be
gained and consequently the ridicu
lously high heeled shoes are decided
upon They do undoubtedly give dig
nity as iong as the wearer stands still
but when the wearer is in motion they
destroy grace even in a room and de
form the feet Thus women are made
to minister to a very short lived fancy
American women s a rule have too
small feet which do not add to their
beauty The better shape a foot is the
smaller it will look but in the dispro
portionately smal foot iNere is always
involved an awkward gait The foot
of a large woman should be larger
than the foot of a small woman or a
slenderly built woman and usually
to her unnecessary sorrow she has a
large one The foot in length should
be the length of the ulna a bone in
the forearm which extends from the
lump in the outer portion of the wrist
to the elbow Of course the ulna is
longer in tall people and to be grace
ful the foot should be also
Marryina a Mail to Reform Him
The most subtle and deceitful hope
which ever existed and one which
wrecks the happiness of many a young
girls life writes Evangelist Dwight
L Moody in the Ladies Home Jour
nal is the common delusion that a
woman can best reform a man by mar
rying him It is a mystery to me how
people can be so blined to the hundreds
of cases in every Community where
tottering homes have fallen and inno
cent lives have been wrecked because
some young girl has persisted in mar
rying a scoundrel in the hope of saving
him I have never known such a union
and I have seen hundreds of them re
sult in anything but sadness and disas
ter Let no young girl think that she
may be able to accomplish what a lov
ing mother or sympathetic sisters have
been unable to do Before there is any
Contract of marriage there should be
convincing proof that there has been

list of white goods all such and many
more have distinctive characteristics
useful knowledge of which should be
acquired before attempts to purchase

may seem expedient

A Convincing Letter Prom One of Mrs Pinkhams Admirers
No woman can look fresh and fair who is suffering from displacement oi
the womb It is ridiculous to suppose that such a difficulty can be cured by
an artifical support like a pessary
Artificial supports make matters worse for they take away all the chance
of the ligaments recovering their vigor and tone Use strengthens the liga
ments have a work to do
If they grow flabby and refuse to hold the womb in
place there is but one remedy and that is to strengthen
their fibres and draw the cords back into their normal
condition thus righting the position of the womb
Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound is designed
especially for this purpose and taken in connection
with her Sanative Wash applied locally -will tone up
the uterine system strengthening the cords or liga
ments which hold up the womb
Any woman -who suspects that she has this trouble
and she will know it by a dragging weight in the
lower abdomen irritability of the bladder and rectum
great fatigue in walking and leucorrhcea should
promptly commence the use of Lydia E Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound If the case is stubborn write to
Mrs Pinkham Lynn Mass stating freely all symp
toms You will receive a prompt letter of advice free
of charge All letters are read and answered by wo
men only The following letter relates to an un
usually severe case of displacement of the womb
which was cured by the Pinkham remedies Surely
it is convincing
Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier cured me when the doer
tors had given me up I had spent hunr
dreds of dollars searching for a cure but found lit
tle or norelief until I began the Pinkham remedies
I had falling and displacement of the womb so badly that
for two years I could not walk across the floor I also had pro
fuse menstruation kidney liver and stomach trouble The doctors said my
case was hopeless I had taken only four bottles of the Vegetable Compound
and one of the Blood Purifier when I felt like a new person I am now cured
much to the surprise of my friends for they all gave me up to die Now many
of my lady friends are using Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Compound through
my recommendation and are regaining health It has also cured my little son
of kidney trouble I would advise every suffering woman in the land to write
to Mrs Pinkham for aid Mes Emma Pangbokx Alanson Mich
