WHERE PARKS GOT HIS MODEL.

R. H. Parks marble statue, "Bac-
chante," accorded gold medal by the
society for the encouragement of art
at Florence, is ON exhibition in Chi
cago. 1t is nude, save for wreath of
grape leaves, which is thrown over the
head and is twined around the body.
Both arms are raised, and in one hand
is bunch of grapes held temptingly
forward. The impression is of wo-
man, misohievous, tempting, tantaliz-
ing, yet womanly with it all.
''There is a little story connected
with the model" the sculptor said.
81 had hunted all over Florence for a
model and could not find one. One
day was riding through the noun
tains and I saw coming toward me
girl carrying fagots on her head. She
attracted my attention at once. she was
so graceful. Under the loose gown
she wore I could see every motion of
the perfect limbs, and I knew the
model l had been SO long seeking was
found. l followed her to the poor
cabin where she lived. and there saw
her father, ! told him I wanted his
daughter for a model; that l would
take her to Florence. take good care of
her, lodge her with respectable peo
pie and give her 1000 francs. My
offer was accepted at once. But,
said /, 4 must see your daughter
from head to foot before the bargain
is completed. A wave of the hand
from the father, the one garment the
girl wore dropped to the ground and
she stood before me perfectly nude, a
gloriously beautiful girl. took her to
Florence and when her work was done
gave her an additional 100 francs and
sent her home" The " Bacchante'
was begun in 1885. For four years
it has been in the Custom house in
New York boxed up.-Exchange.

MEN THEIR OWN MONUMENTS.

Thomas Holmes of South street anC
Marcy avenue, Brooklyn, an expert
on the subject of embalming fluids
claims to have perfected process by
which the human body can b.
petrified. He calls it the antiseptit
gas process of embalming, and says
that within two weeks he will make
tests at Bellevue Hospital.
DIR. Holmes has in his office petri.
fed arm which looks like piece OF
marble. DR.. Holmes claims that anti
septic gas can now be manufactured
as cheaply as any fluid in use for en-
balming. After the gas has been in.
jected, the doctor says, the body will
gradually solidify and turn white as
marble, even to the nails and hair,
but the latter only close to the skull.
DR.. Holmes is now rs years of age,
He said:
81 believe have discovered a pro.
cess of embalming superior to the old
Egyptian. The arm which embalmed
by the process is as hard as stone and
will remain so forever. Now, / am

AMERICAN FLAX FOR FIBER.

Flax is grown from the seed from
Ohio to the Dakotas, although as yet
little attention is paid to the fiber. At
the Minnesota Station Fargo fax has
proved an especially good yielder of
seed, and of fiber as we'll, and the
variety is being used as basis for
selection and crossing.
White blossomed Dutch fax does not
do we'll in the rather dry American
climate. 1t has been thought necessary
to use flax-seed imported from Russia
for growing fiber, or at least that which
has been grown only one or two years
in Western Europe, where it is the
custom to get part of the seed every
year from Rigar and vicinity. The
experiments of Prof. Hays indicate,
however, that the States west of the
Great lakes are Quite as good source
of faxseed for America, and possibly
for the growers of flax fiber in Western
Europe, as is Russia. 1t is noteworthy
that this fax is grown on wheat land.
and would replace that staple to some
extent. Agriculturist.

of the sailors on our ships had to re-

do so. Now not more than two to five
men in 100 in the navy sign the pay
rolls with marks. On one ship in the
New York navy yard last month hav-
ing a crew of 300 men there were only
tive men on the ship who did not sign
their names to the pay roll. Even the
japanese servants signed their names
in English. This shows the great i'm

notice the sentimental parting, but
those who did were rather surprised
until they heard the young man say
"Good- by. Tell mother l expect to be

then he left the car.
There was only one man in the Gar,

girl was the young fellows sister.

not surprised at his display of fond

there were twelve young ladies
