The Simple Lifers.

Every sensible man and woman, to-
day Is q simple lifer. There are SO
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
In with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the large
majority of US are feeling all the bet
ter for it. We walk where we once
motored, and the exercise sets the
stagnant blood In our veins running
with fresh vigor. We eat less and di.
gest more. So little have we felt the
deprivation that most Of us are de-
claring that for the future it is to be
the simple life forever" There are,
of course, some who struggle in their
absurd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time Is mainly spent In evading
the orders Of the food controller, or In
discovering new sources of extrava-
gnnce Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
Of simple lifers." You cannot have
your cake and eat it. Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free
dom, truth and justice. That can only
be ours If we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.
The simple lifer" is doing his duty
and that is why he Is happy. His

TACK AND NAIL.

II heard something far from pleas
ant about you. little Tack said the
big Nail.
There were many other tackS in the
box. but there were also many nails.
They were all together in one big
white box, and whichever size was
wanted could be picked from the lot.
But the Nail which was the biggest
Of all, or about the biggest, was talk
Ing to the Tack which was about the
smallest Of all the tacks In this big
box.
'Well, I suppose you want me to
ask you what 1t is" said the Tack,
moving q little in the box.
"You needn't ask me If you don't
want to-" said the Nail haughtily.
'sBut of course I want to; that Is
only natural" said the Tack.
II thought you would want to-" said
the Nail, In a hard, metallic voice.
Now q metallic voice Is voice which
sounds as hard and cold as any metal
could be. OF course that was the nat
ural sort Of voice for nail to have
still it was not a very cheerful voice
to hear.
II don't think it's nice Of you to re-
peat unpleasant things you hear" said
the Tack.
saThen I won't tell YOU" said the
Nail. II am sorry that it happens to
be unpleasant, but then I didn't say
1t. I wouldn't say such a thing. l
am only repeating it."
The Tack thought to itself that that
wasn't any better. If the Nail had
heard something unpleasant it should
have kept 1t to itself and not told
the poor Tack about it. That was
very mean thing to do.
"Still am curious to hear what 1t
was" the Tack said aloud.
The Nail moved little closer. 1T
was very unpleasant" the Nail re-
peated, as If it rejoiced in the fact that
j e had something unpleasant to say
sAnd wouldn't for the life of me say
anything like it."
"Humph," thought the Tack but
said nothing, and SO the Nal con-
tinued: "Some people were hanging
up pictures today in the house. The
Master and Mistress and some Of the
children were there. And it was then
heard this dreadful thing about
you"
Don't fail to make it sound as
dreadfully as 1t can," said the Tack Q
little sarcastically.
The Nail paid no attention to that

German SubterfuQe.

The Almanach de Gotha, annually
"made in Germany" was well known
before the war as the social register
of Europe, a kind of "Burke's Peer
age" Of the continent. Naturally it
has been ostracized for some time from
the best allied society, and now it Is
entirely superseded by the Almanach
de Bruxelles, which, in first edition,
has recently met a warm welcome in
France. The German publication, it
appears, has been a powerful channel
of espionage. Officials Of every coun-
try in the world have innocently sup
piled it with information about promi-
nent people, family trees, armies, ma
vies, and what not. Some Of this in
formation was ostentatiously paraded
on the pages Of the Almanach. but
one would like to know how much Of
it went privately into the files Of the
German intelligence department.

SMALL SUM FOR "cAMILLE"
Alexandra Dumas Fills Received Only
$50 for Manuscript Of Great
Story.

In the Hotel Drouot recently, the
library of Jules Claretie, the eminent
French journalist, novelist, dramatic
author and former director of the
Coincide Franchise, who died in 1915,
was sold Among other gems, his col
lection of books included the manu-
script of Alexandra Dumas Fills 'Tale
of Lottery" sixteen pages in all, pub
lished in 1851. The manuscript con-
tanned a letter from Dumas to Jules
Claretie, informing the latter that for
these sixteen pages he was paid the
sum of $40.
81 was almost as much ashamed as
was pleased" writes Dumas, 'to re-
ceive this amount 1t was far more
than / was paid for my entire manu-
script of La Dame aux Comedies,
which 1 sold to Michel Levy for the
sum of $50.
This novel. which Michel Levy pur-
chased for $50, yielded the latter $780,
600. Long after he had signed It,
Dumas regretted this contract which
enriched his publisher at sn slight a
profit to himself.

ANDSRE: WONDERED
Mrs. Ei'Itops Really Doubted
Scales accuracy.
Seemed a Singular Thing Until Ex-
PLANTATION Dawned on the Pair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program.

1--WE keep" said Mr.. Billtops. "a
record of Mrs. Billtop's weight. There
is a drug store in our neighborhood
which we pass in our daily walks
where they have nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks we stop in there and weigh MRS.
Birltops: and then, when we get
home, 1 set the weight down In the
record.
The greatest difference between any
two weights taken so far this year is
two pounds; while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one just
taken is only three-eighths of pounc.
So YOU can see her weight is running
very true.
at might seem that all this was
rather a ht,mdrum commonplace per-
Torrance to go through, but really
there's a good deal Of variety to it.
For instance, In winter, when she
is wearing a heavy cloak. we weigh
Mrs. Billtops with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
ord.
$50 you see it is not all quite SO
simple as 1t seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her nghter-weight spring coat.
we ran into a regular incident.
after weighing her. as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that We
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off. But do you know,
| she weighed precisely the same with
| her coat off as she did with it on!
Mrs. Billtops and I looked at each
| other in mild amazement; but then at
| the same moment we both made the
| same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
| coat she had just removed!
81 am not sure that Mrs. Billtops is
| quite as much interested in all this
Weighing business as ! am, but we
both laughed at that; and really
should say that taking everything to-
| gether we get a let of fun out Of weigh
ing Mrs. Billtops. New York Times

Riaht and Wrono idea Of Power.

There are those who, the moment
they enter a room, have the effect OF
dimming and giving the atmosphere a
chill. Some Of them act as If they
took pride in this faculty. They regard
it as an expression of power, which 1t
really Is, but a deplorable kind of
power, harmful to those who use 1t and
to those 1t is used on. How much bet
fer is the power for turning up the
light and imparting warmth to the at
mosphere. Every one of us can re-
late ourselves to 1t and, with practice,
secure q more and more ready control.
1t Is worth struggling for. 1t increases
with us. 1t brings rewards that have

Worlds Aluminium Supply.

Though Switzerland led the world in
the early electrolytic production OF
aluminium, France has been the chief
producing nation since 1895. and sup
piled as much as 1872 per cent Of the
worlds annual total at the time OF the
outbreak of the war. The 10 plants
for electrolytic aluminium had III 1914
an aggregate of 10000 horsepower
with capacity of $4,000 tons a year.
The three plants Of the United States
supplied 25.S per cent of the worlds
product; the two plants Of Switzer-
land, 1874: the two English plants, 7.S;
the one Canadian plant, So, and the
two plants of Norway, 4.3. French
supremacy has been due to the supe-
rior quality Of the bauxite mined.
