MAKING WAX FORMS SHOW FIGURES FOR SHOPKEEPERS ARE COSTLY AFFAIRS. The Way the Heads Are Molded Dressed and Finished—The Hands and Feet, as a Rule, Are Made of Papier Mache In Imitation of Wax Wax forms, or dummies," said the dealer, "have iron feet. Why have they iron feet? To weight them down so that they will stand erect." He stood in his workshop, a room as big as a concert hall. All around him helpers were making legs, heads, hands, trunks, feet. Floods of clear light from the glazed roof fell upon heaps of limbs, upon rows of heads, upon mounds of bodies. The place had a ghastly look. It resembled the scene of a massacre. "The art of making show figures," said the dealer, "has improved." He took up in his hand the head of a young girl. The red lips smiled, revealing white teeth; the brown hair curled gracefully; the eyes were bright; there was a dimple in the cheek. "A head like this," he said, "is worth $15. Heads range in price from $7 to $50. They are made of wax; they are hollow; the eyes are of glass, and the hair is human hair. I'll tell you how they are made. "Wax—a great quantity of it—is boiled in a big kettle until it has the consistency of water. It is then poured into a row of hollow molds, the molds of heads, that stand awaiting it. The molds are hung up and shaken about. This process causes the wax to cool and to adhere in a crust to the mold's inside. The agitation is kept up until the crust of wax has reached the thickness that the operator requires, whereupon the hot wax, the surplus, is poured back into the kettle. About the mold, which is made in two halves, a jacket is placed, and the contrivance is put away to dry. "When the drying is complete the mold is taken off, and a man goes over the wax head with a sharp instrument, clearing out the nostrils and ears and smoothing away the lines created here and there by the junction of the mold's halves. He also inserts, with a deft movement, glass eyes in the empty eye sockets. "Now the head passes to a girl, a girl with a strange sort of needle, the eye of which is open, or split, at the top. The girl first puts on the eyebrows. She threads the needle with a PAINTING THE WORLD Indian Legend of the Way Spring Came Into Existence. Once, long before there were men in the world, all the earth was covered with snow and ice. White and frozen lay the rivers and the seas; white and frozen lay the plains. The mountains stood tall and dead, like ghosts in white gowns. There was no color except white in all the world except in the sky, and it was almost black. At night the stars looked through it like angry eyes. Then God sent the spring down into the world—the spring with red lips and curling yellow hair. In his arms he bore sprays of apple blossoms and the first flowers—crocus. anemones and violets, red, pink, blue, purple, violet and yellow. The first animal to greet the spring was the white rabbit. The spring dropped a red crocus on his head, and ever since then all white rabbits have red eyes. Then the spring dropped a blue violet on a white bird, the first bird to greet the spring, and that is the way the bluebird was made. Ever since then it is the first bird to arrive when the spring comes down from heaven. So the spring went through the world. Wherever he tossed the leaves from his fragrant burden the earth became green. He tossed the blossoms on the frozen seas, and the ice melted, and the fish became painted with all the tint of his flowers. That is the way the trout and the minnows and the salmon became gaudy. Only the high mountains would not bow to the spring. So their summits remain white and dead, for they would let the spring paint only the sides. The snow owls and the white geese and the polar bears fled from the spring, so they, too, remain white to this day. A Tiger Story. There is a story current at Kuloang, central China, about a tiger which gave trouble in that quarter. A missionary and his wife had been worried by the tiger prowling nightly around their home. They determined to be rid of it and one night tied a cow up in the back yard and a dog at the front of the house. Then they armed themselves with guns and kept watch. The tiger appeared. The missionary fired and killed the cow. The wife rushed to see what had happened, and in her absence the tiger ate the dog. OYSTER CULTURE Mvalves Are Planted, and Harvested Like Other The average citizen man that oysters are planted, can harvested like any other person who engages in this thing known as an oyster plant; sands of acres of oyster cultivation in Hampton Bay during the harvesting season literally alive with the chines of the oyster men. When the oysters are fished a half to two years old theyally large enough to be sold rule part of them are sold and the balance in the third year after which time allowed to rest a year planted again. Great care erased in the selection of oyster planting if theybe financially successful. The largest packer in H from 100,000 to 200,000 bitters in a year.

They are small piles on grounds for for the purpose, where small oyster will attach shells. They are also used shell lime and for building lent shell roads found in Virginia peninsula North American.

An application of hard When the drying is complete the mold is taken off, and a man goes over the wax head with a sharp instrument, clearing out the nostrils and ears and smoothing away the lines created here and there by the junction of the mold's halves. He also inserts, with a deft movement, glass eyes in the empty eye sockets. Now the head passes to a girl, a girl with a strange sort of needle, the eye of which is open, or split, at the top. The girl first puts on the eyebrows. She threads the needle with a hair, runs it through the wax and, withdrawing it, leaves the hair behind, for the needle's eye, that is open at the top, makes it inevitable for the hair to stay where it is put. The girl works with great rapidity. In a few minutes she has the head adorned with a pair of long and shaggy eyebrows. Next she puts on the hair. For this work she uses the same sort of needle, the hair being in every case human. For the cheaper heads, however, it is Chinese hair, a human, but very lusterless, coarse variety. Beside her stands a tiny spirit lamp. This she applies to the wax when it becomes so hard that the needle won't penetrate it easily. As soon as she finishes one head she passes on to another, while the head she laid down is taken up by a man. "This man cleans it first with kerosene. Then he paints it all over a pleasant and inviting flesh color. He tints the cheeks, the ears and the nostrils with carmine, and he paints the lips with rouge. A girl, a professional hairdresser, now takes the head in hand, curls the hair and dresses it fashionably and applies a coat of krench powder to the face. The head is now finished. "Hands and feet are made, as a rule, of papier mache, enameled and painted a flesh color, so that they look like the best wax. Hands, feet, bodies, legs and arms are made in hollow molds." The dealer led the way to the back of the shop. "Here," he said, "are some men making forms of papier mache now. Watch them." The workmen had molds of various sizes and shapes before them—one the mold of a hand, another that of a foot, a third that of a whole figure from the neck down to the ankles. These molds were in halves. The papier mache that was to fill them looked in its dry state like blotting paper. Wet it resembled gray pulp. With this gray pulp the workmen lined the molds' interiors well, seeing to it that every cranny and nook got its thick lining. When the molds were filled—some were in numerous pieces—they were joined together, covered with their jackets and put away to dry. The artists cannot protect, cannot copyright, their work in any way. Hence they are constantly being preyed upon by imitators and thieves. A dealer, for instance, will order an original head of a woman from a noted maker of show figures. He will turn out a masterpiece. The dealer will make a mold of it and sell duplicates of the head broadcast. There were in the past only three or four makers of show forms in America.

The average workman at this business makes from $20 to $25 a week. The artist of great ability makes from $40 to $60. Show forms of the best sort are worth $100 and more apiece. They are rented by their owners to shopkeepers more often than they are sold outright, the advantage of this method being that the shopkeeper through it is able to change his show forms often.—Philadelphia Press. A Daring Man. "He's the kind of a man who courts danger, I understand." "Well, I should say so. Why, he does not hesitate to open a flirtation with any young widow he meets."—Chicago Post. Energy will do anything that can be done in this world, and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities, will make a man without it.—Goethe. Back Numbers. "William," said Mrs. Van Gelder to the man of all work, "I want you to clean out that large closet in the hall just outside the parlor. Burn all the old newspapers, waste paper and any other rubbish you may find there." After a short time she met William in the hall carrying in his arms a huge pile of sheet music, the property of her eldest daughter. "What are you going to do with Mabel's music?" she asked. "Why, burn it, sure, as you told me to. It was in the closet there with the other rubbish." "But I didn't mean the music. Put it back at once." Noting his mistress' displeasure, William inquired in surprise: "Why, hasn't she played it all?—Lippincott's." A Thrilling Story. A good story is told of a stuttering plebe at Annapolis who was accosted by an upper class man and ordered to tell him a story and to "tell it quick." The plebe started in as rapidly as his excited state of mind would permit about as follows: "I-I-I-I—was w-w-walking down the road a-a-a l-little while ago—n-n-n-n I met-met-met n-upper class man, n-n-n-n; he w-w-was dandy f-fellow, n-n-n-n he slapped me on the b-b-back an' said, 'Hello, old man!' n-n-n I was s-s-so excited an' happy I-I-I-I fell dead." A Dog's Fidelity. In the upper part of the famous Sequatchie valley, in east Tennessee, a man and his wife settled when the country was new and wild. One of the first crops that they raised was a considerable field of cotton. When it was ready to be picked, they went out together, prepared to make a holiday out of this pleasant labor. Their one baby was left in a cradle at the edge of the field, and the faithful old dog was instructed to watch the tiny sleeper. After a considerable time they looked toward the cradle to see if all was well there. They were startled by the discovery that the little couch had been turned completely over. The dog was making queer dives underneath and yelping as if in anger. As they hastened to the place they were horrified to find the animal's jaws covered with blood and instantly came to the conclusion that he had been rending the child with his teeth. The angry father hit the animal a deathblow with a cudgel and then hastily turned the cradle right side up. There was the baby all unharmed, and there in the bedding was an enormous rattlesnake, killed by the faithful dog after a fierce fight, in which both combatants had received many wounds—Springfield Republican. OYSTER CULTURE. Mvalves Are Planted, Cultivated and Harvested Like Other Crops. The average citizen may not know that oysters are planted, cultivated and harvested like any other crop, a person who engages in this industry being known as an oyster planter. Thousands of acres of oysters are under cultivation in Hampton Roads, which during the harvesting season is often literally alive with the reaping machines of the oyster men. When the oysters are from one and a half to two years old they are usually large enough to be sold, and as a rule part of them are sold at this age and the balance in the third or fourth year, after which time the ground is allowed to rest a year before being planted again. Great care must be exercised in the selection of bottoms for oyster planting if the planter would be financially successful. The largest packer in Hampton opens from 100,000 to 200,000 bushels of oysters in a year. In this house as the men open the oysters they drop the shells on an inclined plane, from which they slide into a trough and are carried along by scrapers attached to an endless chain, called a "shell conveyor," which takes them without further labor to the shell pile in the yard. When a shucker has filled his gallon measure he carries it to the strainer, where the oysters are strained and measured. They are then emptied into large casks kept full of fresh water, by means of which any loose shell or grit is washed out. From these casks the oysters are dipped into a second strainer and when separated from the water are again measured and packed. The shells are sold for from 1 to 3 cents a bushel and are used extensively by oyster planters for the propagation of oysters. They are placed in small piles on grounds found suitable for the purpose, where the spat or small oyster will attach itself to the shells. They are also used for making shell lime and for building the excellent shell roads found in some parts of the Virginia peninsula.—Philadelphia North American. FRUITS AND FLOWERS. Most kinds of fruit trees thrive best in rolling lands. If mildew appear on the rosebushes, dust with sulphur. The garden must be mellow, rich and kept clean. This is the inside secret of successful gardening. An application of hard wood ashes PITH AND POINT. It may be hard to be good—it is not hard to be kind. Genius has always received more applause than money. Presumption lies at the bottom of much that we call success. It requires no strength of mind to be mean—it does to be generous. True greatness lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. Keep your business to yourself or some other fellow will keep it for you. The public is a baby, depending largely upon the nature of the indulgence of its nurse. The higher a balloon rises the smaller it looks, and is this not true of many ambitious members of society? Failure in life is not loss of capital; or the catastrophe of a business venture. Such things are accidents that may happen to all.—Schoolmaster. The Strain of Rowing. A medical paper discusses the "health of the oarsmen" and comes to no very definite conclusion as to the effect of training and racing on the after life of the varsity oar. Some years ago the late Professor Morgan, in his little work, "University Oars," gave the results of an investigation regarding 255 who were then living out of 294 who had taken part in the boat races. And his returns seemed to show that oarsmen were rather benefited than injured by the discipline' and struggle. It must be remembered that the preliminary sifting of the torpids, the eights and the trials weeds out the weaklings at Oxford who could not stand the strain. And every rowing man knows that the trained man who tumbles back in the boat after a hard fought race is as nt as ever within a minute.—London Chronicle. Guns That Saved Lives. Guns have plenty of uses apart from killing. For instance, the signal gun of a ship is intended solely for announcing her arrival on a coast. Again, in desert countries, where water is often difficult to collect out of a mere dampness of sand, a gun barrel sunk into the ground will collect moisture in the bore, and many a life has been saved by a timely suck at the muzzle. Minute guns are fired for public mourning, and national rejoicings take the form of a royal salute. A slaver captured with a cargo of slaves in the tropics was put in charge of a prize crew. On her voyage the water ran short, and the slaves, slavers and prize crew were dying of thirst. Life The poet's exclamation, "O Life! I feel thee bounding in my veins," is a joyous one. Persons that can rarely or never make it in honestly to themselves are among the most unfortunate. They do not live but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be well and strong—to arise feeling equal to the ordinary duties of the day—to feel life bounding in the veins. A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and women, well and strong, has accomplished a great work, bestowing the richest blessings, and that medicine is Hood's Sarsaparilla. The weak, run-down or debilitated, from any cause should not fail to take it. It builds up the whole system, changes existence into life, and makes life more abounding. We are glad to say these things in its favor to the readers of our columns. For Sale 3000 potato sacks. Apply to Frank Champlin. Rooms to Rent Four furnished rooms to rent. Apply to Mrs. Schauman.

If mildew appear on the rosebushes, dust with sulphur. The garden must be mellow, rich and kept clean. This is the inside secret of successful gardening. An application of hard wood ashes will supply the soil with the potash so necessary in growing small fruits. Bone meal is an excellent garden fertilizer, but it does not give immediate results unless dissolved with acid. The longer an orchard is kept in cultivation and a crop taken off the greater becomes the necessity of liberal manuring. The greater portion of the roots of the grapevine grows near the surface. For this reason the cultivation should be shallow. In the garden especially one of the drawbacks to the germination of seeds is that they are often covered with too much earth when planted. Usually the smaller the seed the less covering is required. How to Warm Gold Plates. Various departments of "household hints" have unaccountably neglected to tell how solid gold plates may be warmed for the meat courses at dinner. This may be done in the right or the wrong way. The right way is exemplified at Castle Kilkenny. This is one of the oldest inhabited dwellings in the world, some of the rooms being 800 years old. Among its ancient treasures is a service of gold plate. Besides the ordinary plate service, Castle Kilkenny has the whole series of gold cups used at coronation banquets down to the time of George IV. The gold of the service plates is almost without alloy, consequently very soft and easily marred. Hence the plates are warmed and presumably also washed after use by being dipped into hot water held by a pair of tongs whose tips have been muffled in chamois leather. Tickling the Debtors. John Barrett was only twenty-seven years old when President Cleveland appointed him minister to Siam. The first important task which confronted the youthful envoy was to press a claim against the Siamese government for $1,000,000. Experienced ambassadors warned him against using threats in obtaining the money. "Be cunning; avoid arrogance," they said. "That is," responded Mr. Barrett, "you favor tickling with a straw to pricking with a bayonet." The statesmen nodded assent. When the young minister had finally succeeded in collecting the claim the ambassadors asked in astonishment, "How did you accomplish it?" "By tickling," explained Barrett. "I had to tickle them almost to death, though, before they agreed to pay it." WORLD'S FAIR EXCURSION RATE ST, LOUIS AND RETURN $67.50 CHICAGO AND RETURN ONE WAY THROUGH ST.

Sketch of the industries and Resources of the Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for outdoor life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.

WHY KINLOCH PASTE IS THE IDEAL HOUSE PAINT The purpose of House Paint is to Protect and Beautify. "Linseed oil is the life of paint" because it is the binder, the muxlage, that holds the pigments (the dry paint) to the surface; and only when the oil loses this binding quality through its disintegration by atmospheric influences should the loosened dry particles of pigment come off. The office of the pigment is decorative and also preservative in prolonging the life of the oil by protecting it from the elements. Absolute certainty of the purity of the linseed oil constitutes the chief economy in paint buying, for to exactly the extent that the binding quality of the oil is weakened by the use of adulterants or cheap "thinners," the durability of the whole paint is diminished. You have this absolute certainty of the quality of the oil in the Paint put on your house when you buy Kinloch Paint, because you buy the oil separately and give your paint this absolutely certain durability by mixing this oil gallon for gallon with the thick "Kinloch" paste in which, for your convenience and the certainty of proper proportions, all the pigments, tinting colors," "purse" and dryers are ground together and sold you, ready for the admixture of the pure raw oil by yourself. These facts alone make "Kinloch" the ideal paint; but besides this guarantee of durability through your personal knowledge of the purity of the oil is the fact that when you buy two gallons of the ordinary ready-mixed paint—the "ready for the brush" sort—you pay the ready-mixed paint price for the one gallon of oil therein, regardless of its purity, or 2 1/2 to 3 times more than for the fresh pure oil in your local dealer's barrel. We invite correspondence from those who use or buy House Paint. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No. Farms. Acres. Los Angeles .6777 895,063 Orange .2888 590,436 Riverside .2340 427,097 San Bernardino .2550 219,132 San Diego .2908 869,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles .85,644 Orange .41,549 Riverside .32,947 San Bernardino .37,877 San Diego .16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 percent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. "TEACHER'S SPECIAL" TO ST LOUIS EXPOSITION.

No doubt that fifty per cent of the failures in life can be traced to improper diet when young. DR. PRICE'S WHEAT FLAKE CELERY FOOD is a natural food, and is healthy for growing children. Let the children try it, and note after continued use the mental and physical vigor it imparts.
