'lHOTlie Law of Loss and Gain
.By ADA 1UTTKRSOX
A lean, blonde young man sitting at
hm Desk in a New york otrico ponders
In those between whiles that come In
I the busiest days and busiest lives, on
the law of loss and ,
That which seems

experience and
what ever Is ex
perience Is val

law of loss and
gain.
The young man's
fiancee has jilted
m. The mighty
nirv has perco
lated the homes
of the 4,000,000 of New York's, population
I that the reason for Jilting Is that.the
young man's mother at some low ebb
in the family fortunes was ft masseuse,
nd that her father had ben a masseur.
In: the country where this young man
and! all his forbears came the masseur
ranks in dignity only a little lowir than
I the -doctor and the masseuse is an x
i pert- of moral and financial worth equal
i to that of the most capable trained nurse.
Intelligence, education and several years
of. training are required for the art,.
' 'which is that of healing, strengthening
, and rebuilding the human frame. The
young man who is wealthy and who has
proven his alliance with the royal family
of his country told his American fiancee
of the rise and fall of the family for
tunes, told, he recalls, with pride that it
was so, that members of his family, too
, proud to beg even from relatives, hon
estly earned their living by their hands
when that was necessary. And both had
laughed as light hearted young people
laugh at the picture the story conjured.
( For both of them are rich and the prob-
I' 'ability that family history will repeat
I f very remote- BUll lf tlley nd

held up her pretty, pampered, ring whlted
f hands to show tholr capabilities. It was
M very youthful and American.
llut mark the change wrought by ab
ecnce. The young man came back to his
dek, for he Is one of the many hard
v. 'working rich young men of the metropo-
I klis. The Jclsure. of the man of large In
l fterests is a myth. Wealth is the mill
E tone about his neck that menaces
yV drowning; that sometimes brings It about.
'-ohe girl remained at a summer resort.
VYluckily, so the young man thinks, the
girta sister remained with her. It Is
Ills opinion that the sister, who, he con
fesses, "never liked me," "rubbed It In"
about those rubber ancestors, and that
which at first had seemed a trifle be
came a burden. In other words, the

The Courage
Ky THK GENTLEWOMAN.
'The courage to be happy" is what,
Recording to a recent writer on Germany,
Characterizes an ever-increasing number
of young men and women in the Vater
)and. Modelling themselves on Goethe
the serene, self-centered philosopher
they yearn primarily after self-expression
and self-development as the prin
cipal means of producing happiness.
1'hls self same spirit is becoming wide-
ad here also. The virtues of self-
crlf Ice and self-control are repudiated
as barriers in tne way or complete enjoy
faient of life.
This is all very praiseworthy, perhaps,
tf happiness is to be regarded as the
highest height to which we can attain.
JBut there Is something to be said for the
opinion of Lesbla, George Bernard
fchaw'a heroine, when she said: "I'm
rad I think this rage for happiness
Bather "vulgar.' " It must be admitted
that what are called "vulgar" people
are very often happy. Their wants are
easily satisfied. One recalls the plow-
Ibiy's ideal of bliss: "To swing on a gate
all day long and eat fat bacon." Ho long
as one's wants are limited to the phy
sical, there is a greater chance of hap
piness. A holiday crowd la more easily
made Joyful than, say, a cultivated man
who has been everywhere and seen
everything.
The awakening of the soul brings a
haw standard of desires, and it is gen-
y through suffering that the soul
ayfkeni. Nietzsche declared that a
n's spiritual rank might be estimated
the amount of suffering he had under-
tone. Burrerlng, rightly understood,
rings Insight, sympathy and understand
ing, but when undergone rebelllously it
hardens and embitters the soul.
Says It's Better
opened his desk he pushed aside alt the
big bulging envelopes with return marks
on the upper left hand corner, and seized
a small thin one. lie smiled as ' he
sniffed the scent that always clung about
her belongings and read the note. His
face-' paled and stiffened, as he read. -The
note was brief. It broke the engage
ment. "
That Is the 'reason the young man Is
pounding on the law of loss ami- gain.
He has lost, It Is true, and doubtless the
loss seems great. A pink and white
girl with confiding eyes and a careaslng
voice with worth many times her weight
In gold.'- even In diamonds, to the man
who loves her. ' Or he thinks she is. The
fairy that throws dazzle dust into our
eyes at mating time always looks after
hat Important detail. She provides the
Illusions, plenty of them, otherwise there
would be' few marriages. The loss Is the
vanishing of the' girl as he' thinks she Is.
But over against every loss, an expert
bookkeeper sets an opposing and equal
amount. That, by some compeusatluft to
bookkeepers and necessary for the bal
ancing of accounts, represents gain. What
is the young man's gain? Ills loss. The
loss of a girl who cares so little for
him that she cares a great deal for his
ancestors. Practical gain set over against
a visionary 'loss.' Fortunate though, un
happy young man. .
The net loss a heartless girl, probably
a mindless one, toe, lf she allowed her
sister to make a weathervane of her.
The net" gam" freedom "to "seek"!' wife
who cares not at all for his ancestors,
but all-the. world for him. .The loss, .his
belief that girls are 11 as simple and
loving as they seem. The gain, his
knowledge than in the United States,
whose cornerstone is equality, there are
persona who cannot forgive a masseuse
in a family even for relationship to a
king. It would be Interesting to hear this
young foreigner, honest enough to tell
his sweetheart about the masseuse as
well as the king, honestly thinks about
oir free and equal land. The young man
will not relish the knowledge that there
are such Americans, as be will not
relish the loss of ' the girl, but It will
be a. curious anomaly worth his con
sideration, that in a land here a rich
founder of one of the richest families
was a ferryman, and the founder of an
other peddler of mousetraps, that the
presence of a masseuse In the family
annals could' not be overlooked.
Loss, gain,' and valuable experience,
most 'valuable' experience.
' The computation of loss and gain will
cut some lines into 'the young man's
face than newer and softer experiences
will not be able to erase.
But when years have brought discrim
inating wisdom he will think the keeper
of ills life's accounts has made a huge
mistake lf the 'sides 'of that particular
page of his ledger do not balance. For
he knows that the bookkeeping was mere
Juggling that In truth ho lost nothing
and gained everything.
of Happiness
The courage to be happy consists not
so much In tramping on the rights and
feelings of others as in accepting with a
brave and Joyful spirit wheatever fate
may be meted out to one. Sidney Hmlth
once gave as a recelpe for happiness, a
bright fire, to remember all the pleasant
things said to and of one, to keep a box
of sugar plums on the mantelpiece and a
kettle simmering on the hob, which, being
interpreted, means, of course, that hap
piness is to be found in grateful apprecia
tion of the ordinary and simple pleasure
of life. To live whole-heartedly In the
present is undoubtedly a great promoter
of happiness. So many people spend their
time In anxious fears or vain regrets.
Part of their consciousness lies behind
la the past, and part is projected Into the
future. They are not "all there." Peo
ple can train themselves to be happy Just
as they can train themselves to be
healthy. "Look within," said Marcus
Aurellus, "within is a fountain of hap
piness, and it will ever bubble up lf thou
will ever dig."

The man of a master mind, Michael these combinations
Faraday, more than seventy years ago
looked forward to a great day and
"trembled." This eventful day Is the
lay when man should experience one of
the mtiKt remarkable entities In nature
the absolute aero of temperature, the
total absence of heat, an appalling state
of matter, f7 degrees C, or Ml F., be
low ordinary sero. And were Faruday
nllve now he would stand in awe before
that very nature he so fervently loved.
Finite man no, lei me here say once and
for all, infinite mun has now actually
reached this long-sought wonderful point,
ntute or condition of matter to within IV
degrees C
Wonders never cease. Entirely new
conceptions of matter and electricity
may now be formulated. From a num
ber of methods of research it becomes
dally more and more apparent that
nothing exists save two magnificent en
titles mind and electrons. When all the
mattes now In the sidereal universe ex
isted as electrons, a state where no mat
ter then existed, the absolute tempera
ture reigned In supreme and regal
majesty. Hut from recent researches It
sppears that when absolute cold held
sway electricity encountered no reelxt
atice at least In pure metals. The most
vivid Imagination cannot think of a
universe In which the tltanlo force, elec
tricity, is unable to appear as heat and
light, for it cannot until It Is resisted.
Then electricity In Its natural state is
always without temperature. Carbon
and tungsten filaments In all Incandescent
light bulbs offer resistance to the flow of
electricity and become so very hot that
they emit bright light. liquid helium is
colder than solid hydrogen. Chemically
pure gold wire was placed In this frigid
liquid helium a gas made into a dense
liquid by subtraction of Its temperature.
Resistance offered by gold disappeared
all the electricity passed through the
wire. Liquid quicksilver mercury at Its
normal density of our ordinary sero or 10
degrees C. of F employed In the ex
periments offered a resistance to cur
rent of electricity of 172.5 ohms. Then
the mercury was frozen to a rigid solid
when resistance dropped to 33.7 ohms.
Then the temperature of the mercury
was lowered to within 43 degrees of the
absolute and the reslxtance went down
to .084 ohm. Would that Faraday had
never died that he might have seen what
followed. The temperature was lowered
to S degrees and then even down to
within 1 degrees of that most wonder
ful point, absolute cold. The resistance
ran to, what Is practically soro of nothing
only S,000,000.000,0(,000ths of one ohm.
This resistance of matter Is what we
call a flow of current; but electricity is
granular I. e, consists of electrons or
separate particles. Then since nothing
exists but these electrons, the gold and
mercury are themselves at the base elec
trons. For electrons form atoms, cor
puscles, molecules of elements, and these
unite Into compounds, and these build
structural matter the stellar universe
and all It Includes. AH matter known to
chemists contains electricity. One may
bay "of course" It nothing exists but elec
trons. Hut they can be, and a vast
majority are, In a state of neutralisation
under the familiar but totally unknown
senses "positive" and "negative." Then
the human senses are unable to detect
the presence of this formidable force.

Proved Her Case
J
The suffragist organiser, Miss Kate
Koob, was hard pressed by an elderly
anil-suffrage banker at a luncheon in
Philadelphia.
"Women," said the elderly anti-suffragist,
rather rudely, "are far below men
In the scule of Intelligence."
"I think they are men's Intellectual su
periors," Miss JOcob contradicted.
'Trove It," cried the banker warmlyl
"Prove it. If you can." .
Glancing at his thin locks, the young
girl smiled and said:
"Poeo a bald-heuded man buy hair re?
storer by the gallon?"
"JIm-well-yes. I suppose he does," the
banker admitted, patting his ill-thatched
scalp ruefully.
"Well," said Miss Ecob, "a woman
doesn't waste her money on hair re
storer. She buys hair."
