A sculptor's ideal of beauty is evolved
ra mathematical principles. A perfect
woman is 7 or "i or 8 heads tall; her
6houlders are two heads wide: her legs
are to 3 heads long: her waist is 3
heads in circumference. But tbe size of
heads varies in women who are equally
perfect in shape; the head of the Venus
less in prode Medici is nearly
portion than that of the Venus of Milo or
the Cnidian Venus of Praxiteles, which
was esteemed by the ancients the most
perfect statue in existence. The Medici
Venus is a slim, 6lender girl, whose proportions resemble the statues of Psyche.
Living reproductions of her are more
frequently seen in New York than here.
There fell into The Argonaut's possession a list of measurements of the proportions of a young lady of San Francisco, who is looked upon as being beautiful and having a fine figure in short,
a typical California girl. With these we
have compared a similar ground plan of
a New York girl which we secured at
the time Professor Sargent was collecting statistics concerning the young
women in eastern seminaries; likewise
the measurements of Ballow's well
known ideal beauty. They compare as

The weights of the first and the last
are between 180 and 135 pounds, while
the New York girl weighs about 128.
Polycletos, an old Greek sculptor from
Licyon, left rules governing the relative
proportions of the female frame. He
said that twice the thumb was once
round the wrist, which it is not, unless
the thumb is unusually large and the
wrist unusually slender; that twice the
wrist is the size of the neck, which is
about the case in a well proportioned
woman; that twice the neck is once
round the waist, which is about so. But
he also says that the hand and foot and
face should all be of the same length,
which is very rarely the case, and that
the body 6hould be six times the length
of the foot, which would limit most
men, whose feet average ten inches in
length, to a stature of five feet. The
gentleman from Licyon is evidently not
a trustworthy guide.
Referring to the above table, it will be
observed that the waist of the New
Yorker is much smaller than that of the
other two. The fashion of small waists
is the rage in the east, and tbe desired
result is obtained by tight lacing, which
is carried to such an extent that the
physiognomist is lost in amazement as
to where the lady has bestowed her vital
organs. No statue in existence exhibits
such a disproportion between the waist
and those portions of the trunk which
lie above and below it. The compression
of the girth is a mere fashionable fad
which good taste must condemn. Our

boot.
The bust and hips should, in a perfectly formed woman, be exactly the same
in circumference. They are so in Ballow's ideal, in the Venus of Milo, in the
Cnidian Venus and in the California
girl. In the New Yorker the circumference of the bust is half an inch
greater than that of the hips, which is
probably the work of art, not nature.
Ballow does not give the dimensions

of his ideal's feet or hands. He merely

says that they are "in proportion," which
is rather vague. The rule among sculptors is that the foot should measure one
head, which is unsatisfactory, as some
large women have small heads, and some
small women large heads.
The female foot is probably smaller in
New York society than here, for the simple reason that it has less to carry. Shoemakers say here that they sell more 4
and 4 shoes than any others, but many
ladies in society buy 8i, 3, and even 24
shoes. The knights of St. Crispin do
not believe in the sculptor's rule about
feet. They say that small feet, like large
wits, are a gift from heaven, and may
be found attached to persons of any dimensions. Everybody has observed that
there is no necessary connection between
the hands and the figure; that some slim
girls have large hands, and some girls
with opulent figures small hands and

uid interesting account of the Halwill
manor estate. This was poor land and
much of it was untouched for long peri- rxlf, being treated as a summer run for
'cattle. The investor, Mr. Harris, was
tempted at first to do what at that time
was generally done by landlords
lolidate farms, pull down old cottages
'
tnd in fact generally reduce the
able population and labor on the land.
Several farms fell in soon after Mr.
Harris' purchase of the estate, but he
was "converted" by observing that,
where the landlord or the fanning ten
ant had allowed the cottagers to cultivate the land immediately around them,
the value of the land had been doubled
by the laborer without indeed any guarantee of permanent residence.
Instead of destroying, the new landlord
built and repaired, and having farms on
his hands was enabled to cut off certain
fields and allot them to cottagers. Small
farms grew up and the larger ones were
reduced. Thus land was let that other
wise would not have been moorland
for instance and it was on these
that the value of the system made itself
at once apparent.
Land not valued at more than five
shillings per acre in its rough state became, when meadow land, worth from
thirty to fifty shillings, and aa the cottages were in demand the population
increased, and farmers knowing that
labor could always be obtained took the
large farms, reduced though they were.
Wages have risen from ten and eleven
shillings to twelve and fourteen shillings
per week.
Mr. Harris 6ays he made the mistake
of working his vacant farms with bailiffs, thinking, as the land was in low
condition, he might do it better than a
tenant. But, as he says, it is the laborer
who knows best and who succeeds, provided he has not more land than he can
manage. One of these small holders now
has fifty acres and gives occasional employment.
One secret of the small farmer's success is that one man works on his farm
for no wages at all, and that is the fanner himself. The small farmers help each
other, and they seldom let a crop stand
too late or get behindhand, as is the fashion with some misguided men, who
their large farms and depend on
outside labor for chronic emergencies.
The harm that a large landowner can do
by farming meanly is incalculable.

Another treatment for snake bite

added to the long list of remedies that

have come from many countries. It is
said that the natives of Australia have
comparatively little fear of snake bites.
They keep always at hand a piece of

string made of human hair. The string

is tied tightly three or four inches above
the bite, a small circle an eighth of an
inch deep is cut around the two fang
punrtnres with a knife, and the largest
vein below the bite is slit to allow the
blood to run out. The last stage of this

During the day the manager heard a
great many complaints from his patrons
that they had lost their personal property. He thought that a sneak thief
must have come in to get washed, and
resolved to be on the look out. He discovered nothing, however, though he
peeked around most of the day like an
amateur detective, hiding in all sorts of
places.

Toward the time when the new attendgo off duty, the latter went
into the manager's office and began be

around like a wet hen, waiting until tbe
coast was clear. When there was none
but himself and his chief in the office he
tiptoed up to the door and locked it.
Then he produced from his pockets five

scarfpins and other articles, which he
set forth with great pride before the

the effects as belonging to his customers.

Buddhism in Greece.

A legend of one of Buddha's earliest

pupils tells us that the young man used
to pass the whole rainy season in his
palace surrounded by dancing girls.
Once he saw a bevy of them asleep in
unbecoming attitudes, and he woke up
and said, "This will never do." So he
joined Buddha. Now, a life of heavy
heat, long rainy seasons and unceasing
dancing girls is very well calculated to
bring a man to suicide or to Buddhism.
As far ae Buddhism means unselfish
kindness (and it demands a great deal of
that from a true disciple), it is exactly
as good as any other religion which makes
the same requirement.
But as far as it is pedantic, morbid.
puerile and superstitious, busy with
arithmetical strings of propositions, with
austerities, ending in self hypnotism,
with an ideal of universal suicide, it is
difficult to see how the natives of a
temperate climate can acquiesce in the
developed doctrines of Buddhism. Had
Gotama come to Greece and preached at
the Olympic games it is unlikely that he
would have made a single convert.
