MAKING STATUES OF SAINTS
Prosperous Industry which Centers
in One Quarter of fthe
French Capital.

All the world knows that Paris Is the
worlds art center; but there is no more
curious phase of it than the moulding of
those gorgeous and often ieyl<ed statues
which one sees in Catholic churches all
the world over, from London to Buenos
Ayres and from New York to Sydney.
This craft is carried on around the old
Church of Saint Sulpice, in the neighbor-
hood Of the Rue de Rennes and the Odeon.
At one time the big religious statue was a
very costly luxury, and only the wealthy
could afford to place such works Of art in
the churches. Nowadays it is different,
for thanks to mechanical progress any
number Of copies of costly original may
be made, so that the humblest church may
buy a statue of its patron saint.
Perhaps the greatest dealer in all Paris
is Pacheu. himself a practical artist, and
Perhaps the greatest authority on hagiology
alive. Such a man is wealthy enough to
commission Auguste Rodin himself to ex-
ecute a statue of angel or saint at figure
running into tens Of thousands of dollars
The right to reproduce in any size and
material is bought from the artist,
In some cases the sculptor will merely
design a statue on paper and Pacheu's own
staff will execute it in stone, plaster or
wood. Some of the artists on the manu-
facturer's staff, by the way, draw salaries
up to $1,000 a year.
Last, but not least, II must be borne in
mind that in spite Of this duplication the
original statue retains at least some of its
value as work of art. Pacheu and two
or three Of the other large dealers in these
quaint objects sustain severe losses occa-
sionally by, following their own judgment
in the matter of buying and then finding
that their purchase fails to find favor.
There is a good deal of secrecy about the
business, especially in the matter of the
composition of the modelling plaster The
ingredients of this material are known only
to the principal of the house, and after It

Heating Plants of To-day.
Furnaces, steam and hot water heating
plants for residences are too common TO
longer attract attention, except when one
or the other Is not supplied, but improve
menAs are constantly being made even in
these systems. Little IL any evidence Of
the heating plant Is now 70 be seen In the
newer buildings. The unsightly radiator
and hot water pipes are completely hidden
One Of the most approved methods places
the radiator in space provided in the wall
just beneath the windowsil, which was left
correspondingly broad BY this plan the
heat rises about the window, where the
cold commonly enters, and the result is
most satisfactory. An instrument much
like a thermometer accompanies this ar
rangement and It is only necessary TO turn
the indicator on its dial 70 any desired
temperature.
The introduction of water into the mod
ern house is so ingeniously contrived now
a-days that il is available in any apart
ment where there would be possible oc-
CASTOR for it's use. The luxury Of some
bath rooms is little short OF regal The
private bath with each dressing room is no
longer unusual, even in homes not counted
pretentious. For supplying the other house
hold necessities the water system is con-
venient IN proportion. In the lavatory, the
kitchen, the buffers pantry, the laundry
and even in hose attachments scattered
over the house for use in case Of fire, one
only has to turn the spigot and an abund-
ant supply is at hand
Free Delivery Helps.
supplementary to all these conveniences
within is the convenience Of the free de-
livery system that prevails in almost
every business and department that con-
tributes to the comfort Of the home and
its occupants. The postman brings the
mail to the door not less than once and in
the majority of towns and cities, twice a
day, while in many sections Of the cities
there are four to six deliveries a day.
The daily papers are delivered at the
house door morning and afternoon and
where people live in apartment houses, as
is the case In many larger cities, the
mail and papers and packages are sent
directly TO their apartment by means of
an automatic carrier. The laundryman
calls for the soiled clothes and returns
them again clean at the end of the week.
Packages, no matter how small or how
large are delivered by all dry goods stores,
while the supply of milk, once one Of the
most exacting trials of the housewife, is
delivered as frequently as desired, at the
door in carefully sealed bottles that have
only to be emptied and rinsed and set
out to be collected when the man comes
again. It is not even necessary for the
housewife to go to market to make her
purchases. The telephone serves to com
municate her wants to the grocer the
butcher and the baker, who in turn, de-
liver her purchases at her door.

has been boiled pounded and strained It
is thinned down, according to the degree
of fuidity which the modeller requires.
The first thing, of course, is to obtain
mould in two parts from which any num-
Der Of copies may afterward be cast In
the case of a life-size statue a mould 10
obtained in two ways-a bon creux or a la
gelatine. In order to produce a mould by
the first named method the original is en-
tirely covered with little bits of plaster
four or five centimeters thick, thus con-
shutting the mould
The dimensions and form of the pieces
vary with the lines of the model, and to
prevent these falling apart the artist uses
an outer envelope of plaster. When this
is thoroughly set the whole is divided
down the middle and back and the mould
is then ready for use. faithful in every de-
tail.
But even after the mould has been Sc
cured in this way there is a good deal
to be done, for the copy is covered with
plaster ridges where there are Jennings in
the mould. These imperfections must be
removed by another artist.
To model a la gelatine the artist first
makes an outer casing Of plaster then sus-
ponds the original statue upside down and
puts the casing in such position as almost
to touch the sides of the model, The mar
row space in between is then filled in with
liquid gelatine, which when hard produces
a perfect mould.
Even when the replica comes forth from
the mould and it's glazing imperfections are
softened down much remains to be done.
1t must be colored, gilded or equipped in
accordance with the ideas of a parish
priest in Andalusia or southern Chile.
Russia is one of Pacheu's largest custo-
mers and every year he sells hundreds of
thousands Of gayly jeweled ikons to ortho-
dox churches all over the empire, from the
German frontier to eastern Siberia, And
often enough. when the statue reaches
rich Siberian town, like Irkutsk or Tobolsk,

Southern Minnesota Real Estate Man
Says St. Louis County Has
Great future.

Great FUTURE.
Thomas Frankson, we'll known
real estate man of Spring Valley,
Minnesota, says st. Louis county
has great future along agricul.
tural lines. Mr.. Frankson was in
Duluth yesterday looking over
several large tracts of land in the
southern part of the county.
II have great faith in this part of
the country" said he. "There is no
reason why farming in St. Louis
county should not rival the ore de-
posits in contributing to the wealth
of this part of the state, and in
building up the Zenith city.
"Of course, much of the land will
be used for stock raising only, but
think what an enormous amount of
increase there would be from the
county if one-third of it were turned
into pastures. The dairy products
that are possible are almost un-
limited.
ut is only a question of time
when this land up here will be set
tied and under cultivation. Just
now farmers are attracted by the
warmer climates and the wide un-
timbered tracts of land in the west
and south. After time these will
be exhausted, and they will then
turn their attention to this district
here in the north.
"That time is sure to come, and I
believe it is not far away. The land
will be taken up slowly at first for
cultivation, and then when railroad
facilities ETC., begin to increase and
make the breaking up of the soil
easier, the settlement will be rapid.
In very few years, what is now
acres of burnt pine stumps and
scraggly underbrus sh, is going 10
blossom out into great agricul.
tural district.
DO you people here in Duluth
realize what all this means to the
Zenith city? It means an immense
population and greater prosperity"
Mr.. Frankson has been interested
heavily in Dakota and Texas lands,
and has been in the real estate
business for many years. He is re-
puted very wealthy.-News Tribune.

The Child.

The Child.
A child's face is the window Of his soul,
That yet untrammeled by the worlds
control,
Like some still pool upon a summers
day,
Ruffles to every w,nd that blows that
way.
a ch1lds face Is yet wide open door,
That every year Life shuts little more,
It stands wide thrown, and to and fro
pass free,
OF his fresh thoughts, the white robed
company.
child's face is harp that strinRed
stands
Waiting the touch Of any passing hands
That chance to strike the clear. obedient
strings,
Giving the captive melodies their wings.
A little pool that rufIles to the winds.
An open door where each one entry finds.
A stringed harp to answer song or hymn.
SO 10 child's face to his every whim.

where EYE-sIGHT IS GOOD.
Best Where Distances Are Vast and
ObatacIes Are Eew


Obstacles Are Few.
The best eyesight is possessed by
those people whose lands are vast and
barren, and where obstacles tending
10 shorten the sight are few. Esqui-
naux will detect a white fox in the
snow at a great distance away, while
the Arabs of the desert have such ex-
treme powers Of vision that on the
vast plains of the desert they will pick
out objects invisible to the ordinary
eye at ranges from one to ten miles
distant. Among civilized people the
Norwegians have bette, eyesight than
most, if not all, others, as they more
generally fulfil the necessary condi-
tions. The reason why defective eyes
are so much on the increase in Ameri.
ca lies In too much study of books
in early life and in badly-lighted
rooms.

unsatisfactory answers; 3O1 expressed
the opinion that no one ought to be
obliged to work, but if some fools did
so they (the vagrants) considered
they were justified in living on them;

were proceeding to procure work at
certain far-off localities, and the re-.

New school HOUSE Neeaed.

The people of Mount Holly will be
called upon within the next two weeks to
sanction the expenditure of a sum of
money sufficient to build a new school
house in the western part of the town for
the accommodation of the colored pupils.
The present building is within few hun
dred feet of the railroad and the noise
made by the trains that are passing and
stationed there is such that at times all
exercises have to cease until the cars have
gone by.
The attention of the Board of Education
was called to this condition last February,
and notice was given by the County Su-
perlntendent that there must be change.
Inquiry for suitable site was at once in
stituted and it was supposed that one had
been secured but as soon as the party
with whom negotiations had been pending
found the lot was for public use, he re
fused to sell at the price he had first Of
fered 1t.
Since then the Board of Education has
been on the lookout for lot and finally
secured an option on a piece of ground on
Chestnut street. 1t is 100 feet front by
$50 feet deep, with southern exposure,
and is admirably adapted for the purpose
for which it is wanted. Before it can be
bought, however, the taxpayers must, by
vote, sanction the act.
The proposition is to have a resolution
adopted providing for raising the neces-
sary money by bond and mortgage. The
cost per year for interest will not increase
the taxes materially and the mortgage can
be lifted after the present bond issue has
been etired. The erection of a new
schoolhouse is imperative. as the State
Department of Education will take strin-
gent measures if the township does not
act favorably.
