THE FAT GODDESS.
A Picture That Jared tho Nerves of
French Art Patron.


French Art Patron.
M. Durand, French picture buyer
of a century ago, had little wisdom
as critic, and his ambition, COM
pounded equally of childlike vanity
and genuine benevolence, was to figure
rs patron of youthful genius.
One of the earliest commissions he
bestowed was upon young artist who
selected for his subject scene of
classic mythology. In which the as
sembled gods were depicted upon
Mount Olympus. When 1t was finish
ed M. Durand was invited to the studio
to inspect 1t. His face clouded as be
gazed.
young man." he declared. you have
not treated me fairly. 1t Is true 1 do
not pretend to know everything about
art, but l am not a fool, and know
that gods and goddesses should be no
less noble than kings and queens.
These people Of yours are not even
aristocrats. Madame, my wife. does
pot pretend to be a fine lady. yet when
put my two hands around her waist
It is by an inch only that they fail to
meet and as for Juliettte, my daugh-
ter. she Is as slender as needle. Look
now Mt that big, clumsy woman in
loose gown who you say is queen
among the gods! She has no figure at
all. She is all the way down the same.
Pouf. Call her a lady and a goddess
she who is without stays and without
waist! Nine. and Mile. Durand would
make mock Of her, your Juno! Pouf!
She is peasant. pillow, a pig!"
Nevertheless he was convinced by
infinitely tactful explanations that the
wasp waist was unknown in classic
antiquity. even to goddesses. 1t was
with proud complacence that he finally
accepted the picture and the knowl-
edge that the sovereign lady Of Mount
Olympus had never attained the heroic
compression achieved by Nine. and
Vile. Durand.

MIDDLEMAN AND FARMER.

Views of q Railroad Man on the Lack
of Cooperation.
Mr.. B. b. Yoakum, chairman OF the
Frisco system. said recently In an ad-
dress that the most important factor
for the welfare Of the nation will be
found in an organization of farmers.
This is true not only on account of the
benefits they will receive directly. but
on account of the money saved by the
consumers. 1t is not the prices receiv-
ed by the farmers which make living
expenses high. but the profits to the
dealers handling farm products be-
tween the farmer and the consumer.
He then cited some instances Of the
enormous profits that accrue to the
middleman.
The Florida farmer receives 1925 for
a bushel Of green beans, the railroad
gets so cents for the 800 mile haul to
New York. and the consumer pays
$6.40 for this same bushel of beans.
There are 35 per cent for the grower. 8
per cent for the carrier and 81 per
cent for the dealer. This Is not
fair division.
Thirty cents dozen was the aver
age price of eggs In New York last
year. while the farmers of Arkansas
and Missouri received Is cents. The
freight WAS cents dozen. The man
who receives the eggs at freight sta
ton in New York and delivers them
to the consumer takes l3 cents a dozen
profit.
The rice farmer of Texas. Louisiana
and Arkansas gets 2h cents a pound
for the grain. and the consumer in
New York pays 10 cents a pound for
this rice. The freight is half q cent
pound. II the rice farmer were paid
31h cents "a cent more than he Is now
getting, and the dealer took cent
profit (Which Is % per cent? the New
Yor% consumer would get twenty
porAds of rice for dollar instead of
ten ounds. as now
IL The above tgur"S are correct. and
we it:;ve no reason 70 doubt them, ID |
wor'd seem that The riddleman is |
mu II 10 blame for the present high |
prices. And IL would indicate that If
the farmer and consumer can eliminate |
the riddleman To Il great extent the |
better 1t will be for them.

MEASURES OF LENGTH.
Light Waves and the Wonderfully Ac-
curste Interferometer.

curste lnterferometer.
At the bureau of weights and meas
ures at Sevres. France, the standard
meter Of metal, which IS the standard
length of the world, Is kept carefully
I'm an underground vault and Is in
spected only at long intervals. In
Great Britain similar care Is exercised
In guarding the standard yard meas
urement. AS 1t was possible for these
metal standards to be destroyed or
damaged in the course Of time, 1t was
decided number of years ago to de-
termine the exact length Of the stand
ards in wave lengths Of light. which
would be basis Of value unalterable
and indestructible. For this purpose
the instrument known as the inter.
ferometer was invented. This instru-
ment represented the highest order Of
workmanship and the greatest skill Of
the best opticians of the world. a
series of refracting plates were made,
the surfaces Of which were fiat with
In one-twentieth Of q wave length of
light. with sides parallel within one
second. representing the utmost refine
ment Of optical surfaces ever att
tempted.
With the interferometer perfected,
the attempt was made to make the
wave length Of some definite light an
actual and practical standard Of length.
For over year scientists worked to
secure this result. and experiments
finally showed that there were 1853
1641a wave lengths of red cadmium
light in the French standard meter at
10 degrees centigrade. So great is the
accuracy of these experiments that
they can be repeated within one part
In two millions. So inconceivably
small is such possibility Of error that
should the material standard Of length
be damaged or destroyed the standard
wave length Of light would remain un-
altered as a basis from which an ex-
act duplicate Of the original standard
could be made.-Chicago Record-Her-

Buttons.

The EliZabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole, two inven.
tons which may fairly be regarded as
important. since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but
ton was wholly product Of needle
work. which was soon improved by the
use of a wooden mold. The brass but
ton Is said to have been introduced by
n Birmingham merchant in 1850. IL
took 200 years to improve on the meth
od of sewing the cloth upon the cover
ed button. Then an ingenious Dane
hit upon the idea of making the but
ton in two parts and clamping them
together with the cloth between.

Petition No. 90:
To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council
Of the City OF Owosso:
Gentlemen
We the undersigned merchants. taxpayers
and dealers In this city feel that the restric-
lions put upon US against the display Of our
goods to the public eye. are not only unjust.
but unreasonable and that they not only rele.
gate against the success OF our business but
materially hamper and hinder US In its execu'
ton.
And further we wish to say that besides this
direct and immediate damage TO US specially
We feel that as citizens and business men
very much interested In the welfare Of our fair
city, that such wholesale closing up and get
ting out of sight OF the passeroy takes on the
gala and cosmopolitan appearance OF any
town. The very thing that makes place look
like appearance. This last however Is mat
ter OF general concern In which we are all
equally Interested and which we could not
forbear making mention OF. But we present
that which concerns US specially and directly
and which we complain materially hinders US
In the prosecution of our business and praying
that you will give it your candid, serious and
immediate attention.
And to this end we wish to suggest to your
honorable body q compromise which we
would be glad to accept, which we think would
be within bounds OF reason aud would In no
ism or offend the sense of the most fastldious.
That merchants and dealers in merchandise.
groceries, fruits and vegetables be allowed to
display their goods on walk In front OF their
stores II kept in conformity with conditions
herein named as follows:
First; That not over three and one half feet
from the front OF buildings be occupied.
Second: That all goods so left outside must
be kept in neat and regular condition aud
must In no way interfere with passing pedest. |
rians
That all food stuff in open packages must be
kept off the sidewalk. and must be set up on
tables, stands, shelves or boxes.
Fourth: That strawberries and such small
fruits will not be allowed outside In the open
u less covered.
