casts with which to frame his manikns.
The different parts OF the body OF a man
of woman can be taken separately and
then Joined together with putty A very
life effect is produced in this way. The
only part of the body which cannot be
taken in cast is the abdomen and this
is because the breathing would interfere

hairs may be smoothed down If this
were not done they would become fas-
tened in the plaster and the process Of taxi
ing off the mold would be little short of
torture. The molds are cut open and
sometimes broken In being taken Off, but
they can then be glued together, when
plaster is poured in and an exact likness
of the hand obtained. The oil on the inside
of the mold prevents the new plaster from
adhering to IT. There are several prepare
lions for making casts, some of which the
museum has a large and extensive collec-
ton. For the dark or red skinned races
the casts are easily tented or painted TO
represent the desired color
The collection of dolls at the museum is
the largest in the world. Some OF the Es-
kimo dolls are probably the most valuable
and they certainly are instructive. Among
these is a trick doll with a string attach
ment to move its head from one side to
the other. One Of these dolls is from Point
Barrow. Alaska, and 1t is fashioned from
drift wood which the natives of that re-
gion picked up on the beach. The dress of
the doll is made of seal gut Some of the
dolls are made out of ivory, whole Eskimo

Two measures are very apt to he pre-
sented to the present legislature that
ought to pass. One provides for a
stronger law governing assessment life
and accident insurance companies, by
means of a higher standard of admission
and a more rigid system of examination
The other will be one governing mutual
fire insurance, and requiring that such
companies give the protection to policy
holders to which they are entitled and
which the old time companies are COM
PEELED to give. This last measure is
