his greatness as an artist is perhaps
more clear In the black and white than
In the colored subjects. Certainly in
his crayon drawings, Autographs and
etchings he proved himself to be one

may be reckoned master craftsmen.
Moreover, the character that he ex-
presses is Of that grand and elemental
quality which sometimes reminds us Of
Michael Angelo.
Aillet's influence produced a host Of

the strongest are the Frenchman L'Her-

Butter I'm Slices.

From time immemorial in Cambridge,
England, the dairymen roll the butter
so as to form long stick weighing
pound, which they sell in slices, as If
it were sausage. In the market the
butter merchants do not need to use
either weights or scales. A simple
glance is sufficient for these people
accustomed to the time honored prac,
tice. A very neat cut with the knife
divides the yard into halves, quarters
or eighths very exactly, and it appears
that the customer is never given short
