MAKING WAX LlFeLtKE.
How Display Figures for stores Are
Made.

How loag does i take 70 make o2e
of these" said the manufacturer in re-
Spouse to an inquiry. reports the Bos-
ton Transcript. We'll, il depends en-
tirely upon circumstances. 1t is not a
mechanical operation, the finishing off
of a wax model as true to life as this"
and he pointed to the bust of a laugh
ing child. whose rosy neck ard bright
eyes were framed by clustering curls.
TO make these one must have studied
anatomy, as we'll as drawing and mod
cling. We begin in the same way as
sculptor would to make a statue. Aft
er the wax has cooled the eyes are put
in. the face is made up as theatrical
folks say. and the wig is fastened on,
and the wooden body is shaped. We
make all our hands and feet from life,
and they cost about ten dollars. If we
have an order for an entire figure we
always model it from life The life
size wax figures of infants are among
the finest things we manufacture, and
they. add much to the attractivenesso of
. show window. as was illustrated last
winter, when a Washington street re-
tail dealer displayed one during the
holiday season. The head and shout
ders, such as are seen in the miIliner's
windows, cost from $40 to $45. The
wig makes considerable difference in
the price. as we use the best hair, and
it is expensive, especially the natural
blond, which is scarce. The children's
heads cost $50, or whereabouts.
'All the finishing off imaginable" be
continued, would not make a figure
stand the test of season behind the
glare of a glass unless the wax has a
natural pink tinge. The reason some
of the models look so deathly is be-
cause the wax is bad and not properly
colored, and flesh tints are put on in
addition"

families, as we come of good old Irish and
Scotch descent. we did not think it was that
disease. Neither did she have a hacking

No Truth of Reported Uprising of
SeminOIes.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. l3.-There was
great excitement here Wednesday
morning over the reported uprising of
the Seminole Indians and the report
that they had slaughtered the people of
Maud and Earlboro. However, the
worst fears were allayed when reports
were received TO telegraphic inquiries
sent out by Gov. Barnes. The mayor
of Shawnee and the sheriff and county
attorney of Pottawatomie county re-
piled that there was no truth in the
reported uprising and massacre. They
explained, however, that the Seminoles
were greatly excited over the burn
ing of two of their tribe al the stake
by white men and that few bucks were
urging the tribe TO ayenge this out
rage, but that in all probability the
force Of marshals present IN the reser-
walton ano along the territorial line was
now sufficient TO prevent an actual out
break of hostilitieA

THEIRS FOR 500 YEARS.
Farm In Norway Owned by One Fam
lily Since 1881.

lily Since 1881.
j. E. Sogard received a remarkably
interesting document from Christiania,
Norway. and one which he prizes very
highly. 1t came from the government
museum at Christiania, and is an exact
copy of two deeds of very ancient date,
the original deeds having been pre-
served and placed on exhibition in the
museum. The deeds are for a certain
farm which the Sogard family has
possessed for centuries and upon which
two of his brothers-Simon, Of Webster
City, and John, of Iowa City-were
born. The first deed is dated July /,
1881, or more than 500 years ago. A
better realization of the age of this
deed is had when it is remem bered that
the Sogard family was in possession Of
the farm more than 100 years before
Columbus discovered America, and it is
probable that their ownership dates
much farther back than is shown by
this deed. The later instrument was
executed in 1913, nearly IS years before
the landing of the pilgrim fathers at
Plymouth. A gentleman from a
neighboring town tells the Troy Times
that he has seen tie ancient document
alluded to, but was unable to read it,
as il is written in the Norwegian Ian
guage, He adds that the property is in
the town of Oalen. near the town of
Hamar, ard that the largest city near
the place is Christiania, ard that the
document states it is given in the reign
of King Hakon, by the grace OF God
king Of Norway and Swedea.
