What is the middle of a maltesers called?
The middle of a Malteser is called the "malt" center. It consists of a crunchy, airy texture made from malted barley, which gives it a unique flavor and lightness. This malt center is coated in a layer of chocolate, making Maltesers a popular confectionery treat.
Of course they do - they're dogs. Any dog might - and could - kill a kitten. Even small white fluffy dogs.
Which is not to say that a Maltese dog WILL kill kittens - but it might, given opportunity and insufficient socialisation / training to prevent it.

How do you make a Maltese cross with 1 match?

What is the difference between a toy and teacup Maltese?
There is no such dog breed as a maltipoo. Nor is there any size of dog called a "teacup", the smallest size for dogs is toy. "Teacup", "pocket", etc., are names that some breeders started calling their undersized runts to con idiots into buying them at an inflated price. So the proper wording for you question is:
~Is a toy poodle and Maltese mixed breed dog larger or smaller than a toy poodle and Maltese mix that is the runt of the litter?~
The answer to your question would be that generally a normal sized dog is larger than an undersized dog...but since you are asking which mutt would be larger, there is no guarantee how either dog will turn out.
How big will your almost 2 pound Yorkie Maltese mix get?
Not very big...they will only get to about 1 1/2 feet long or so...
When taken orally, it has a mild laxative action (1). It may cause irritation of skin and the mucous membranes. Sulfur is considered a skin and eye irritant (1, 2, 3, 4). Acute exposure inhalation of large amounts of the dust may cause catarrhal inflammation of the nasal mucosa which may lead to hyperplasia with abundant nasal secretions. Trachiobronchitis is a frequent occurrence, with dyspnea, persistent cough and expectoration which may sometimes be streaked with blood (5).
Sulfur was reported to have a rat oral LD50 of greater than 5,000 mg/kg (3, 10); and greater than 8,437 mg/kg (5). Another source reported an acute oral LD50 of greater than 5,000 mg/kg for 51.1%, 97%, and 98% sulfur. Also, there were no deaths of rats fed 98% sulfur at a single dose of 5,000 mg/kg (6). The intravenous rat LDlo (Lethal dose, low. The lowest dose which causes death in test animals.) was 8 mg/kg (5). The dermal LD50 for rats was greater than 5,000 mg/kg (3). The acute inhalation LC50 for 98% sulfur in rats is greater than 2.56 mg/l; and greater than 5.74 mg/l for 80 % sulfur (6).
The oral LDlo for sulfur in rabbits was 175 mg/kg (5). The acute dermal LD50 in rabbits was greater than 2,000 mg/kg at 51.1%, 97%, and 98% sulfur. Also, there were no deaths of rabbits fed 98% sulfur at a single dose of 2,000 mg/kg (6, 10). A rabbit eye irritation test indicated all irritation had cleared 6 days after 98% sulfur was administered (6). The intraperitoneal LDlo was 55 mg/kg for sulfur in guinea pigs (5).
CHRONIC TOXICITYChronic exposure to elemental sulfur at low levels is generally recognized as safe. Epidemiological studies show that mine workers exposed to sulfur dioxide throughout their lives often had eye and respiratory disturbances, chronic bronchitis and chronic sinus effects. However, no known risks of oncogenic, teratogenic, or reproductive effects are associated with the use of sulfur. Also, sulfur has been shown to be non-mutagenic in microorganisms (8).Repeated or prolonged exposure to dust may cause irritation to the mucous membranes. Bronchopulmonary disease may occur which, after several years, may be complicated by emphysema and bronchiectasis. Early symptoms in sulfur miners often include upper respiratory tract catarrh, with cough and expectoration which is mucoid and may even contain granules of sulfur. Asthma is a frequent complication. The maxillary and frontal sinuses may be affected; involvement is usually bilateral and pansinuitis may occur

Where can you get a cheap Maltese puppy in nc or NJ?
Try an animal shelter or rescue group. Start by searching on Petfinder. This will likely mean adopting an adult dog, as shelters and rescues seldom have puppies.
