 The Simplicitarians hope to spread the doctrine of the simple life and to found Simple Life cities" in rural districts. Their doctrine, says Dr. Mcdonald. embraces a broad Christ ian teaching, blended with the sanest and noblest social and political move ments. ..
 We are against the principle of town life, and desire to get the people settled back on the land in garden city communities.
 We oppose vaccination and every movement interfering with the liberty of the individual.

 When the simplicitarians fall sick. they will avoid doctors like the plague, and leave nature to work out her own salvation.
 Should Lady Godiva be dressed? That is the question that divides the ancient City of Coventry into two hostile camps, which may be called the Historical Purfsts and the Modern Puritans.

" Finally, maybe, the problem will he solved by the Cor poration engaging one of the living statue ladies from the music halls, who will ride through Coventry in skin of enamel. =.

 Dogacto-s who take the part of lions are introduced in the Egyptian tragedy, the Judgment of Pharoah" at the Scala Theatre, London In the play the hero, young Israelite, is thrown to the lions, which refuse to touch him. but make a meal of the villianess instead.
 The, canine actors are big boar hounds, dressed up in lion skins. They may be said to be professional actors, as they come from stage-animals' training school at Manchester. where all kinds of dumb performers are edu- eated. Fr
 All the dogs have to do is to trot across the stage. RoaTs, growls, and screams off indicate the painful death of the wicked woman. The ap- pearance of the made-up dogs, one of whom so far forgot his leonine part as to wag his canine tail, made the audi ence laugh in the supreme moment of the tragedy. The play is poor thing, hut many people will go to see the dogs pretending to be lions.
