Of ornaments. lai 



they that know the art of cropping, can do as well without 

 the pieces as with them, as the Ears commonly are to be 

 altered after the pieces are taken off. 



To make a STAR, 



Take a Hick of tough Sealingwax, and warm the end of it 

 at a candle ; then dab the part where you mean to have the 

 Star on with the Wax; then take a Butcher's Skewer about 

 four inches long, and lay it on the waxed part, then dab and 

 cover the Skewer with the Wax ; then take a halfpenny ball 

 of Packthread and w^ind it tight about the Skewer, and gather 

 the hair with the firing, and the Wax ftill warmed at a candle, 

 and continue to gather the hair with the Wax as you go round 

 with the firing, fo that the firing and the hair, and the Wax 

 may lay hold of each other : then wet the firing twice that day 

 with cold Water, and let the firing remain on two days and 

 two nights. 



Then take off the firing and the fkewer, and apply on a 

 plaifler of Black Pitch, which is to remain on a fortnight at 

 lead; and m two months time, you will fee what you wifhed 

 for. 



Alfo to make a STAR. 



Make two holes through the fkin jufl on the part that you 

 mean to have the Star on, one hole above and the other be- 

 low, then lake a fliff iron fkewer and thrufl it underneath the 

 flcin from hole to hole', the holes are to be feparate from each 

 other about three inches : then take a halfpenny ball of Pack- 

 thread and wind it very tight around the fkewer; then wet 

 the Packthread with cold Water, and ufe the fame precautions 

 with this, as the latter mentions in all refpefts.
