ANIMAL CRACKERS

   We'll re-check "animal crackers" on Newspaperarchive.com.  Nabisco
produced the famous ones in 1902, but I had found an earlier "animal crackers"
advertisement in the October 1895 LADIES' HOME JOURNAL.

   At 5, they were ushered into the dining-room.  There, in the middle of the
table, was the famous center-piece that has cost the boys so much planning.
There were two banks of square crackers, built up to represent the piers of a
bridge, about eighteen inches high, and across the top rested a mammoth
cracker, two feet long and one and a half feet wide.  On this stood a cracker
elephant, a foot high, with big ears--a regular cracker Jumbo.  He was made to stand
by means of wires that were put into the dough before baking.  Among the
crackers that formed the piers were vines and mosses, supposed to be growing.
   SUch an array of crackers!  There were crackers so large as a
tea-plate--crackers as small as a half-dollar; hard ones and soft ones, square ones and
round ones, sweet ones and those not sweet--eighteen different kinds.  At
intervals, along the table, were plates of animal crackers, standing up to their
knees in wine-colored jelly.  There were cracker-sandwiches and nice little
cracker-pies and cracker-coffee, for a beverage.
   Mrs. Green has to confess that the cracker party was a great success, and
the children declared that they had enjoyed it more than any other which the
twins had given.--_Good Cheer_.

A WHISTLING WOMAN AND A CROWING HEN NEVER COME TO A VERY GOOD END

WHISTLING WOMAN + CROWING HEN--213 Google hits, 45 Google Groups hits

   Variously phrased.  Also, "a whistling woman and a crowing hen is neither
good to beast nor men."  Or, "a whistling woman and a crowing hen will always
come to some bad end."
   The following Google site also had "long-tailed cat in a house of rocking
chairs," and we're checking on the other phrases in the "Dixie" list.
Somebody's got to do this stuff, and we now have the tools.
