THE INDIAN BEING DISPLACED. Labor and Cost of the Statues of Wood-W- here the Aboriginal Modes Leave Off and Civilization Steps in. The tobacconists' figures have undergone many changes since they first came into use. They have attained a very respectable degree of excellence In certain directions, and considerable inventiveness and great variety of design have been shown in their production. Most of these figures are made of wood. Some, however, aro of metal, cast in molds. These, of course, are much more expensive, and tho designs aro limit ed In number. The wooden figures being more within tho reach of most dealers naturally offer a greater variety in design. Tho wood usod Is generally white pine, which is bought in logs of various lengths at the spar yards. The artist begins by makii; the roughest kind of an outline a mere suggestion of what tho proportions of the figure are to 1e. In this he is guided by paper patterns. The log is blocked out with the ax into impropriate spaces for the head, tho body down to the waist, tho portion from there to the knee, tho rest of tho legs (which are ' at once divided) and the feet. In Its pres-ent embryo state the figure to be is not very apparent to the eye. Tho feeling for form in tho chopped block is so very elo- - jnentary as to havo complete suggestive-Hes- s only for tho practiced artist. BOW THE INDIAN 18 MADK. A hole is now bored into each end of the prepared log about five inches deep. Into each of those holes an iron bolt is placed, the projecting parts of which rests on sup-ports, so that the body hangs free. The carver now goes from the general to the particular. The surface of tho wood soon becomes chipped up by the chisel, and the log generally takes on more definite form. Then, when tho figure is completely evolved, the finishing touches are put on with liner carving tools. Detached bands and arms are made sep-arately and joined on to tho body by screws. Then the various portions of tho figure are appropriately painted, the wholo is set upon a stand running on wheels, and it is ready for delivery. Old figures that liavo become scratched and broken, that have split and cracked with tho grain, or aro dingy and dirty and need to be fresh-ened up with new coats of paint, are also brought to the shop and doctored and patched up into a respectablo semblance cf newness. Time changes, and so does the popular taste. At first the red man ruled the mar-ket almost completely. Then came a heavy sprinkling of other figures fiory Scotch-men, English officers with small fatigue caps or high bearskins, and heavy swells of ante-bellu- times and the war period, with marvelously wide pantaloons and waving mutton chop whiskers, ogled sim-pering Dolly Vardons, with short cut skirts, hustles and hats tilted forward over the eyes. Then came grave Turks, gor-geo- u s sultanas and columbines with alarm-ingly short skirts. Punch, with rubicund nose and protuberant chin, was a favorite flgnro. There was also the conventional plantation "nigger," with striped panta-loons and a great expanso of shirt collar. Tew of these old flguresare seen nowadays. ORIGINAL DESIGNS. Meanwhile tho spirit of realistic art en-tered more and more into the work of the Bign sculptors. The wooden Indians grew bettor, quite artistic in some instances. Even tho half nude was attempted with success. In tho latter respect the best work lias undoubtedly been exemplified in the ' metal figures of Indians and Pucks. The "artists," advuueing in technique, grew ambitious; more variety became the watch- -' word, Tho dude, who hud occupied the pen of tho writer and the pencil of the artist, was now perpetuated in wood. ElU-gi-of baseball players gave sign of a pub-lic spirited nature, and there has been quifo an eruption of Pucks, good, bad and exe-crable. "Vaultin1 ambition" strove even to portraiture. The price of these flgnros varies greatly. You can get a small Indian for $10, or you - can indulge your artistic taste up to the tune of $125. Metal figures run as high as (175. Most figures thut are ordered are simply copied from existing ones, the sanio design being often repeated. Such work is exemplified in certain forms and types that Lave grown conventional aud are familiar to all. Hut some dealers, with discrimi-nating and fastidious tastes or peculiar hobbies and with the money to indulge ' them, have special figures mado to order. One old gentleman iu Third avenue, near Ninth street, had himself cut out in wood in the uniform of somo military company to which ho belonged. Auother gentleman In Broadway put up a figureof Edwin For-rest in Roman garb, redundant of muscle, in front of his store. This liguro has since pone to Philadelphia. Still another, up town in Tenth avenue, ordered the coun-terfeit presentment of Unston's shining light, John L. Sullivan, in his baseball suit. Another Tenth avenue man had an elephant aud the golden calf roario for his two saloons. Ono western man ordered iigurcs of the Goddess of Liberty and of Burtholdi's statue somewhat altered from the original. Tho carver naturally is j;lad to get out of the rut of wearisome conven-tionality sometimes, and puts his best foot foremost when tilling such orders. SOME OFT SliEN J IliUKUS. 15ut the tobacconist is not by auy means the only customor that the sculptor in wood has to supply. Chiropodists want lare white or (filfc feet to display before thoir doors, glove sellers hang up wooden gloved hauds as signs of their calling, aud livery stable owners call for heads of horses. Slore than that, our artist in wood Is at times called upon to exercise his cun-ning in manufacturing wooden hands for such persons as have had tho misfortune to lose one of those that nature provided them with. A dow n town firm puts springs into these, so that they can be used to some extent by the wearer. P. T. Earuum has been supplied with a number of wooden figures which appear in his parades. They are all life size or larger, and include Bluebeard, Cinderella, Mother (Joose, Hinbad the Bailor, Hed Kid-iii- i; Hood and the Old Woman That Lived in a Shoe. Forepaugh has an equestrian figure of St. George and the Dragon. The tigures on Barnum's vans aro also carved in wood. One firm that deals in woolen rags had figure of a ragman nine feet high placed on top of its building in Franklin street, near Center. When it moved to its present huarters, in West street, near Canal, asim- - was put up for it, so that there re two of them now. Another r?ell known figure is the coir that is milked daily on Coney Island. At Narragansett Pierthcra is a huge draijon twenty-thre- e fuet long, which curls around a column on tho water tower in Karl's court. Again, William th has had carvings executed on his yacht at Lake Joorge, and similar work has bees produced for ethers. New York Times. Suit Water Katlu. Salt water bnths aro an excellent tonic; taken warm they are delightfully refresh-ing when one is heated or tired, and taken cold they are tho best preventive in the world of too great susceptibility to colds. Ono delicate woman, who used to insist that she "caughta cold on coming into the world and had never been without one since," became as indifferent to damp and draughts as a siu'lor after a year's trial of Kali bat hs. l'or those who have sensitive gums, in-clined to bleed on tho slightest provoca-tion, a mouth wash of salt aud cold wator used once or twice a day will harden tho gums and prevent soreness. As salt is a styptic, any slight bleeding may be checked by treating the part with salt water. Per-sons who have tender feet will find thum growing much less sensitive day by day if treated to a daily brisk rubbing with cold salt water. New York Evening Sun, Relief for nieeouith. Hiccough is most frequently a symptom of Htomach or abdominal disturbance, but it may bo purely nerve irritation inde-pendently of this. It muy be produced by tho presence of indigestible or highly Bpiced food in the stomach or by very warm foods or drinks. It may be slight or per-sistent. When occurring in typhoid fever, cholera, meningitis or peritonitis, it is a grave symptom. The mild attacks are re-lieved by holding tho broath for as long as is consistent. Very warm applications on the lower portion of the back of the neck or over tho diuphragm sometimes afford relief, and pressing hard upon one of the muscles of tho neck which reaches from the inner border of tho upper portion of the first rib behind the "collar bone" up-ward and backward to tho vertebra of tho neck has been known to check this dis-tressing symptom. , Infants vomit with perfect ease; chil-dren make it no diilleult task; but adults in general 1U1 it T0,'y hard work. In many conditions it is well to induce vom-iting. This, may bo tho case when it is de-sired to dislodge false membranes in cronp or diplitheretic deposits and other sub-stances from the air passages. Again, if a poison has been swallowed, frequently the best thing that you cau do is to induce vomiting at once. The quickest way, when it can bo done, is by forcing tho fin-ger of tho patient down his throat, gagging us it is sometimes termed. Tickling the throat with a feather will often produce vomiting. Pittsburg Dispatch. They All (Jonio at Once The tendency of thing to run in grooves is exemplified every day in this store. If a fat man witli a red face comes puffing in to buy the lightest coat and vest there is in stock ho is sure to be followed during the day by at least a half dozen counterparts. I have waited on four men walking on crutches within an hour, and one day I thought thore was a convention of club footed men in tho city. Again I hare no-ticed an invasion of red headed men, of bald header! men, of men who stammered, of men who were inclined to bully, and of men who would take anything you gave them and pay the price asked without a murmur. It would soem that mankind sometimes runs in "schools" of distinct species. Interview with a 8t. Louis Cloth-ier. An Opinion. ' A cautious old woman when asked what she thought of one of her neighbors of the name of Jones with a knowing look re-plied: "Why, I don't like to say anything about my neighbors; hat as to Mr. Jones, sometimes I think, and then again I don't know; but, after all, I rather guess he'll turn out to be a good deal such a sort of man as IJ.ake him to be."' -- r KHijulmaiix Superstitions. Esquimaux are believers In ghosts. They also bolicvo in tho transmigration of souls, that spirits return in animals, winds, rocks, ice and water, that they are evil, angry or good,, as the elements may bo favorable or unfavorable, aud that they can be appeased by hoodoo rites, if the per-former is sufficiently versed in occult sciences Childless women, it is claimed, cannot return to the surface of the earth after death. To clmngo the wind, for in-stance, they chant, drum and howl against it, build iires, shoot against it, and, as a last resource, flro the graves of the dead. Tribes put hoodoos on each other by cero-moni-dancos and howling. The hoodoo of total destruction upon neighbors is tho building of a flro within eight of those coming under their displeasure. Tribal relations are severed by making n Are out-side and burning all ornaments or dis-guises used in ceremonial dunces, such as raven skins, eagle tails, door horns and masks. Tribes that are hoodooodi answer by a ruturn hoodoo, but with families aud individuals it is different. Outlawed by their tribe or relations, they bocorao dis-couraged, hopeless and gloomy, und lit-erally "go off and dio." Sitka Letter. Another Vac for tli Phonograph. Mrs. Abram Altaian, of Buffalo, owns a most ferocious looking bloodhound made of brou.o. Tho animal was purchased from a Boston woman, who had it mado to do service ns a burglur alarm. It is largo, aud iu its diaphragm she had a phonograph set. She then borrowed a neighbor's dog to burl; into the machine to load it. The bark did not oxactly correspond with the appearance of tho big bronze dog, butjshe thought it would frighten burglars, for she said tho dog's bark would be worse than his bite anyway. And so she set up her bruiscu image, with its full sot of pho-nographic howls and patent insides, and had it counootcd with her room by wires aud electric button, so that when the burg-lar- s made their appearance she could jnst touch the button and the dog. would do the rest. But tho burglars did not come, and when the old lady died the dog burglar alarm, as it was culled, was shipped to this city. Pittsburg Dispatch. |
