POSING FOR WAX FIGURES.
New Styles in Hair Dressing Give
Model Chance to Earn
Money.

Didn't you know that wax figures
were modelled after real people?" spoke
up the senior member of a firm tina:
manufactures wax models for the
trade, In mild surprise. why, ]
thought everyone knew that Is 1t pos
sible that you have never recognized
any Of the likenesses?
Most of them are shop girls or cloak
models, or possibly artists models
who are only too willing to pose for
the small sum they get for lending
their features to the firm. It's rather
disagreeable task, for a death mask
must be made first, and then the mod
Ell made from that: but it's only a mat
ter of half hour.
How much do the girls get? Oh.
about one dollar an hour, the same as
most artists models receive. It re-
quires girl with regular features to
make the model a success. In fact. ws

as possible.
ITS getting to be quite business.
the posing for wax models, though
there is only room for a comparatively
few, as when once the mask is taken
it is used for years. The change nee-
essikated is in the hairdressing only"

This is necessary in order to make
the center high enough to give the
bundles on the outer row slant of at
least 20 degrees. A person with ex-
perience using fork will even be
able to give the outer rows of bum
dies a slant out and downwards of as
much as As degrees, while he keeps
we'll towards the center of stack.
Fig. 2 shows the bundles of upper
half of stack with a slant of about 20
degrees. A little experience will en-
able the operator to stick the bundles
of the outer row with the butt ends
lightly into the center OF bundles be.
low. This will prevent the outer row
from slipping.
Topping out stack properly is
the most difficult part. l have found
that 80 per cent. of all stacks that
draw water take it midway between
the bulge and the top. Hence this par
ticular point in the stack should be
very carefully constructed. Never
draw the stack in rapidly at the
start, as this always has tendency
to cause it to take water. The last
few feet of the top are by no means
so particular, because the top is mar
now and will dry out quickly, even If
it should become little wet. If wa
ter is taken in lower down in the
stack it will not dry out until the
grain is more or less spoiled. The
last four or five feet of stack may
be drawn in considerably quicker
than the lower part, just so it is kept
high and full in the center.
Fig 8 shows the outline of a com.
pleted stack Through the bulge from
a to b it is IA feet across, while at
the bottom it is II feet across. If
the operator has experience, he may
with good results put on larger
bulge, as it would improve the stock
in settling, allowing the outer rows
of bundles to slant at a considerable
greater degree. But for the benefit
of those who have very little or no
experience it is best to put on a
very little or no bulge at all, because
If this is not properly done so that
it comes out even on all sides the
stack will be sure to settle over the
one side and then to take water dur
ing heavy rain.
If a line is drawn through stack
from to d it viii be seen that the
pressure at this point, when the
stack settles down, will be consider
ably greater than on outside from
bulge to ground, hence it is very i'm
portant to keep center of stack high
and solid all through. A narrow
stake sharpened to point at lower
end and about five feet long should
be thrust down into top Of stack to
prevent wind from blowing of the
last bundles.

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
lous Cure by Cuticura.

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to a third one. Mat.
tiers became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms. chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. | think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and | had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment. and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed
decided Improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-

A level place should always be chosen.
The stacking should be done with
fork. The old way of going around

bundle with the hands is out of date
Better stacks can be made with the
fork, and quicker work can be done;
besides it is much easier
When the stack is high enough to
begin drawing in, an extra layer of
bundles should be laid commencing

Few persons know how to rest.

Being elbowed by vulgar mob isn't

Neither is staying home and being

Overdressing, overeating and too

Over Sunday rest is best accom-

which produces, directly beneath its
outer bark, fiber that can be woven
alone or in conjunction with either
wool or cotton, and gives to the cloth
into which it is woven beautiful
silky finish, is being produced in
China at the present time to an extent
that promises to make it an impor-
tant element in the worlds commerce.
Unlike cotton, it is not an annual
crop; once planted it will produce
for a dozen years. 1t does not ripen
evenly, and as soon as one crop is
pulled the plant goes on producing
again; occasionally, in tropical coun-
tries-and it is only in a very warm
climate that it can be grown-one
plant will give four crops in year.
A good stand of plants will run from

GIVES UP HER ooScERr roUR.
Wine. Parklna. Daughter Wf q KANSAS Guy
Judge. Abahdons Her Plan.


Nine. Elisabeth Parkina, who came ID
this country to make a tour under the man
agement of S. Kronberg, has changed her
plans and will sail this week for Europe.
She is the daughter of Judge Parkinson Of
Kansas City and has for several years been
a successful singer in Europe.
Nine. Parkina, as she is professionally
known, was a pupil of Nine. Marchesi and
later a great proteg&e OF Nine. Melba. who
every season at Covent Garden Last year
Nine. PaTkina sang there with success, and
during the last concert tour that Nine
Melba gave in this country she engaged
Nine. Parkina, who happened to he here
at that time, to sing at the concert given
by Nine. Melba In Kansas City.
Mr.. kronberg persuaded Nine. Parklna
that she could make a profitable concert
tour OF the country and she came over here.
1t looked a. il the agents prophecy would
ONE true when the young soprano sang
with great success at the Springfield Music
Festival. Later she went to her native town,
and there began the trouble which ended
her tour.
kronberg engaged Nine. Parkina on the
agreement that she was to get $3.50 for
every concert. with a bonus in her native
town. He engaged an enormous hall in
Kansas City which has a capacity OF 10000
persons and is 50 large that a singer might
as well try TO make an impression on an
audience gathered in Central Park. The
receipts we're only 81 .SO0. which represented
such a small number of persons that the
hall looked deserted. In disgust Nine.
Parkina cancelled the contract entirely
and will go back To Europe to sing in opera.
