work like some ornamentation in Budd-
hist temples.
Such is the view looking straight up
and down over the northern entrance.
TO the right and left of this entrance
are Japanese towers. that on
the right representing the dec
orative work of McLennan county,
the left being the production of
Wllbarger county. Corn, cotton, wheat,
grass, shells, Spanish moss, evergreens,
all these in their various forms have
been drawn upon to produce the similar
effects which loom from these two tow
ers, There are four stories to be
decorated, and q different idea has
been carried out on each. The
caves of each story are draped heavily
with the rich Spanish moss which is used
SO profusely in the interior OF the Pal
ace. Ropes of wheat framed in loops
and strands, supplemented with sheaves
of the same grain and tinted shells, or
nament the incurred, sharp pointed
roofs on their four sides. The third
stories have cotton added to the materi-
ais, the front having chaste design of
cotton on banners on each side Of the
front windows, the sides being en-
blazoned with large ripe wheat sheaves
and corn cob checker work with
pointed tips forming sort
of hanging fringe on the sides
beneath the cornices. The fronts of the
second stories have peculiar conical
shaped windows across which are fantas-
tic bars of sliced corn cobs, on each side
of the windows there being artistic flower
like decorations made of shucks, the sides
of those stories bearing charming
imitation of octagonal lattice work made
of sliced corncobs of beautiful tints.
Beneath the windows of these stories are
horns of cornucopia from which are pour
ing the cereals for which the counties of
McLennan and Wilbarger are fnmed
throughout Texas and abroad. The
ground stories are brilliantly deco
rated. Beneath the windows are
startlingiy natural limitations of large
urns with flowers of great beauty grow
ing from them. Oyer the windows are
intricate interlacings of corn cob rope
work, while radiating therefrom are
elaborate decorations of corn cobs.
Such incomplete outline are the
decorations of the northern projection.
Passing TO the left, the region OF Mon
tague county's decorations Is reached.
All over this space on the main building
are beautiful designs and exquisite
workmanship, in which are utilized all
the products for which Texas Is chiefly
noted. Montague county makes her chief
effect in an elaborate star, emblematic
of the whole state, in the center Of the
same being crown OF fine execution
across which is worked large esr of
corn, signifying the feature of agrieul-
turs, in which Montague county is su-
preme. The ornamentation surround
ing this design is rich in Ideas and at
traotive In appearance. The words
''health, soil, wealth, climate, sur
rounding the star signify Montague . at
fractions.
Cooke county presents her skill and
productions on the chinese tower to the

ground of corn. The word Texas IN
chaste lettering surm0unts the star /,
while beneath the coat OF arms the Lee
gend is completed with the words
'tSpring Palace, stretching across the
entire northern central face Of the Palace.
The angle of this northern projection
Is covered with an erratio and peculiar
checker work of corn, bordered on the
bottom with pretty corn shuok designs
in which corn seeds glisten like diamond
studs, the back ground being of cotton
arranged as padded cushion.
Above this northern face rises the
great dome, which has been seen from
afar and has excited unbounded curiosity
as to its constituent materials. 1t can
not be described. Only the nature of the
decorations can be told.
Surmounting the small tower on the
top Is a shock OF ereenest colored hay.
acting the part of a fringe. The cornical
portion of this dome, and stretching up
to the grassy topknot, Is Of shells from
the coast, alternated with wheat from
the far Northwest, each being in TRAN
gular sections, the base resting on an
ornamental sectional circle, formed of
large corn-made squares, having peeu-
liar circular interiors.
Then comes the main dome. The wheat
sheaf Is the central idea in these decora-
tions. Stretching from midway of the
conical portion up to the base of the
small dome is q bed of wheat stalks and
heads placed in such way as TO
indicate a field of tho new cut
grain. Beneath this the circular
portion Is divided into ten sections, in
nine of which are beautiful sheaves of
wheat, having backgrounds of grass
looped in imitation of curtains. In the
tenth section is an immense Texas star,
made of corn cobs, in the center of
which is bed of grain heads,
grass, shells and corn. Then
comes circle OF corn-made diamonds,
alternated with sheaves of wheat stretch
ing around the same, beneath which IS a
row of stars with artistic twinklers that
appear to sparkle as you look
at them. Then comes q heavy
drapery four feet deep, made
of wheat stalks and heads suspended
heads downward. Then comes an inter-
spersion of loops and square and dia-
mond shaped blocks made Of corn ropes
that looks like fantastic network, and
beneath, running to the base of the
dome, are Mosaic and oriental block

ON THE OUTSIDE.
A General idea OF the Texas Spring Palace
as Viewed Outside.

A General Idea OF the Texas Spring Palace
as Viewed Outside.
Coming down Main OF Houston street,
as you come into Front street the first
view of the Texas Spring Palace bursts
upon the gaze.
To say that the spectator experiences
feeling of admiration at what he beholds
would be to stultify the object. So grand
are the proportions, SO magnificent the
outline, and so dazzIiugly brilliant the
Unity overcomes and overpowers one
into awed silence akin TO that feeling
which Is experienced in some great
cathedral or ancient abbey where the
consciousness of the presence of q being
greater than man pervades the stranger.
Viewed from the distance of Front
street, the Spring Palace appears the
work of genii with powers of conception
and execution greater than mans. With
its oriental tower silhouetted against the
blue vault beyond, the rich, deep colors
glistenlng In the sun, the banners
Haunting in the gentle Texas
breezes, music floating dimly in
enhancing wavelets, the stranger
is apt to stop short, fearful that the
whole is q pleasant vision of a sleeping
hour that may escape If not cozened to
remain by silent stiffness.
10 describe the Texas Spring Palace
has been attempted by many fsoile
writer's, but not one but has admitted
the entire failure of his art. How can
that be adequately described which is too
great for the comprehension of one
human mind2
As the visitor draws nigh the Palace
he begins in his critical way to examine
the decorations, to analyze the character
of the effects and how they are produced.
He will probably approach by the north
ern entrance. He will find there
graceful and massive arched portico, the
wide dome-shaped door to which is
fringed with a border of evergreens from
the Southeast Texas forests, in which sre
imbedded numerous pink colored shells
from the Gulf of Mexico literal, the two
colors producing a charming blend suR-
gestive of NATURES own haudiwork. Sur
rounding this on the facing of the portico
Is an elaborate scroll decoration made Of
corn, this beng supplemented with
fringe of corn oobs similar TO natural
wood carving.
Looking above the portico, on the face
of the main front of the building, there
will be seen an immense coat of arms
made of corn, cotton, moss and grain,
the whole being about twenty feet In
width, and fifteen feet high. The eagle
with spreading wings perched on top, is
made OF varied colored corn cobs ranging
from the pure white tinge to the blackest.
The shield upon which he stands Is of
cotton made white and corn
made brown stripes. The large circle
beneath has an outside stripe Of whitest
cotton, next grass made blue stripe, q
chnplet of grain, and in the center e
