ARTISTIC DESIGNS FOR THE MODEST CRUELTY OF CHILDREN OFTEN 1 DUE TO A LACK OF IMAGINATION yery Few Are Really Vicious by Nature Danc ing a Healthful and Sane "Indoor Sport" for the Young CHILDREN are very often given to ono of two kinds of cruelty. Tho first ts deliberate and premeditated, therefore vicious; tho other kind Is simply clue to ft lack of Imagination. Tho mlschlovoun llttlo boy who tics n tin can to a dog's tall (and let mo say that although I have witnessed many at tempts to do so, I have yet to sco a dog with a can actually tlod to Its tall); tho child who picks a pussy-cat up by Its tnll, or tho one who delights In stepping on ant hills, usually Is crtlet becauso It Is not sufficiently Imaginative. Tho parents of theso children havo never taken them aside and old them that animals, too, suffer pain, and that when a cat's tall Is pinched It suffcrH qulto as much as the child when Its finger Is caught In tho door. There aro somo children, of course, who ftro born vicious; a notable cxamplo being tho boy who a few days ago drenched n tiny, helpless I'omernnuin dog In oil, placed It in u, bag and net fit a to It. This sort of cruelty Is a form of degeneracy, pure and simple. It Is to lm hoped that tho father of tho boy will deal with him as summarily as his expressed Intentions. Tet there would seem to too llttlo hope of reforming a boy who had reached tho go of eighteen and whose moral nature wis so perverted that ho could commit uch an atrocity.

A simple and effective way of cleaning rusted Iron articles, no matter how badly they aro rusted, consists in attaching n piece of ordinary rlnc to the articles and then letting them He In water to which a llttlo sulphuric acid Is added. They should be left Immersed several dayB or a week, until tho rust has entirely disappeared, the time depending on how deeply they nro rusted. If there is much rust a little sul phurlo acid should be added from tlmo to time. Tho essential part of the process is that the xlno should be in good electrical contact with the) Iron A good way Is to twist an Iron wlro tightly around the ob-Ject- Another method, given In the Scien tific American Cyclopedia of Formulas, Is to allow the Iron articles to lie from twelve to fourteen hours In ft nearly saturated solution of chlorldo of tin.

Plastering TTOW often one tees a house whore the JLL plastering Is giving aay. cither on the celling- or on the walls. There Is a reason for It. It Is iibi-oltitoly Impassible to create an attractive Interior In n house with a '.mil Job of plastering. No amount of decorating enn cover up these defects Crooked eorncrs and angles, rrookc 1 walls and uneen places rracks and other defects, will snow tnemsclves although wo may bo covering tho ontlio surface with canvas, such ns Is used for decoration. Now the (location is "How nre we to succeed l getting a good Job of plastering?" In the flrsi placo, It Is cheaper for the contractor to mnko straight walls than to mnko crooked walls, therefore If the walls are not straight It Is caused by carelessness. It Is Impossible to main u straight, plas tered wall on a crooked line of (.luddlngs, hence we must heo to It that the surfaces upon which the plastering Is to bo applied aro straight.

There Is nothing more harmful to plastering than for tho laths to bo put too close together or too far apart On tho ceilings they should never bo loss than three-eighths of an Inch apart, on tho walls one-quarter of nn Inch apart.

Then I said I would go out and look at tho baby cow and he said he didn't haro It any more, ns It had got big enough to be sold to tho butcher. He said the butcher had skinned It nnd made It Into meat. I sat and thought about It for a long time and the moro I thought the wickeder It got I went out to tho lot nnd patted tho mother cow, which was bawling something terrible. I kissed her and she tried to kick Ilowdy oer the fence, she felt so bad. So I told the man ho was a murderer nnd that I would never rpeak to him again and stuck my tongue out nt him nnd went away.
