Colossal statue In Cotton.

~
and artistic feature at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. A colossal
statue of King Cotton will be the
most striking feature Of the States
exhibit in the Palace of Agriculture
at the Worlds Fair in st. Louis. 1t
will be the largest statue in the Ex-
position, and will tower so feet
above the heads of visitors. His
majesty will be seated on an i'm
mense throne, and if the breath Of
life were to animate the gigantic
frame, and he were to arise to his
feet, he would be compelled to stoop
to prevent his head striking the raf-
ters of the great building, the cor
nice line of which is IS feet above
the foundation.
No modern monarch possesses a
sufficiently dignitied appearance, say
the Mississippians in charge Of the
feature, to adequately represent so
important subject as their great
Southern States cotton crop, SO Mr..
R. HI. Henry, the director Of exhib-
its, caused the artist to choose for
his subject venerable king of the
sixteenth century.
King Cotton's face, hands and feet
will be Of wax, and cotton will form
the remainder of his makeup. A
space so feet square has been allot-
ted by the Exposition management
as King Cotton's domain. His will
be an exclusive monarchy, and no
passports will be honored. A strong
railing will define the boundaries Of
his kingdom, and the Jefferson
Guards will prevent trespassing. All
visitors may see the king and pay
homage, but they may not tread on
his domain, nor pick him, or his
subjects or his kingdom to pieces for
souvenirs.
His majesty will sit with dignifed
mien on a great throne, completely
covered with raw cotton, as white as
snow. The throne will rest on a ped
estal six feet high, built entirely of
cotton bales. The -draperies about
the throne will be made from lint
from the cotton gin, dazzling in
whiteness, and as fine in texture as a
spiders web. His crown and scep-
ter will be of cotton, and his limbs
and body will be of the same mate
rial. The entire kingdom will be
covered with carpet made of pure
white cotton. Real cotton plants
will be installed and characteristic
group of statuary will occupy a
space before the throne. This
group will consist of family of ne
groes picking cotton-the father,
mother, son and daughter, and a lit
tie pickaninny, too small to toll, will
lie on his back on the downy carpet
just as he does on his native heath
in the Sunny South. These figures
will be life size, and, like every
thing else in King Cotton's domain,
will be made Of Mississippi's most
staple product-except their heads,
hands and feet. These, like his
majesty's, will be fashioned in wax.
This King Cotton feature of Mis-
sissippi's exhibit is an artistic crea-
tion by leading Mexican wax
worker, and was designed mainly to
attract attention to the States dis
play. In the universal cotton ex-
hibit, under the same roof, the State
commission will install other exhib-
its of absorbing interest. A practi-
cal cotton gin will be in operation,
looms will be working and cotton in
all its phases will be shown. Ma
chinery will be- in motion and cot
ton will be put through all pro-
cesses and converted into fabrics in
plain view of visitors.

medical skill had exhausted its re-

immediate relief. When the conven-
fences for a modern vapor bath are not

the desired results can be obtained by
putting the patient upon cane seated
chair over a chatting dish filled with
boiling water, or, wanting even this, a
pail of hot water into which a redhot
iron has been thrust will accomplish
the purpose. EnvelOp patient and chair
In blankets. In twenty minutes drip
ping sweat should be produced. Then
pour cold water over the patient, wrap
him in blanket wrung out of hot wa
ter and tuck him up well in bed The
sweating may continue for several
hours, during which cold water to
drink may be given freely. When the
breathing has become easy, the patient
should be wrapped in dry sheet and
left to the restful sleep.

Do you know how to put your shirt
waist on? There Is more to it than
just fastening 1t down the front. In
the first place, it should be drawn
down in front and pinned. Each side
of the front just ahead of the arm
seam should be treated in the same
way. In the back there should be
hooks to fasten the skirt band to Sc
curely. Then before putting on the
skirt piece of tape should be drawn
twice around the waist and firmly tied.
There is as much in the wearing of
waist as in the cut of it. and 1t Is the

The Small Waist.

The "human form divine" Is, mod
ernly speaking, anything but divine
from the classic point Of view, and yet
men who look long and admiringly at
a statue of Medea or to Venus di
Milo are wont to exclaim on other oc-
casions as the tiny waist and dispro-
portionate hips fit by, what divine
formp' 1t is curious masculine incon-
sistency that their theories and prac-
tees concerning the waist lines are
usually at variance. The thoroughly hy-
gienic and corsetless woman has, as a
rule, no charms for him. He thinks her
practical and lauds her common sense,
but he doesn't marry her.
The advanced woman who thinks
that her waist line should expand in
proportion to her ideas need not, how
ever, be unsymmetrical. The vertical
young woman, devoid of contour, with
only an equatorial line to suggest a
waist, looks ridiculous when she boasts
that she never laces. Even laws Of
health do not require one to be unat-
tractive. 1t is woman's duty to make
herself as presentable as possible, and
it can be done without violating laws
of any kind. Until that happy medium
which seems an unobtainable thing Is
found men will continue to admire the
laced maiden, simply because-laws to
the contrary-she is more attractive
than the other extreme.
But men and their tastes aside, the
very tight corset deforms woman In
ternally and is really crime.
