man makes such repasts appear de

A favorite stage substitute for meat
la sponge cake, which cut Into the
ibapo of cutlets or steaks and Judi
ciously browned with sauce, presents
? most genuine appearance. The ad
vantage of such innterlnl Is that It la
easy for the acton to consume and
does not present any difficulties to the
carver.
Cutlets composed of soft toast are
also popular In stage cuilnary circles,
and when decorated with dainty paper
frills and parsley look quite the real
ung.
Do not let your mouth water at the
sight of those dainty slices of linm re
posing on lottuce leaves on tho Imron's
festlvo board. Ham Is Invariably rep
resented on the stage by strips of lino
leum. the reddish under side of which
makes a convincing substitute for the
real article. As to tho surrounding let
tuce, that is generally represented by

One of tbo most astonishing Illusions
with regard to stago food, however. Is
where soup Is concerned. This Is In

In League With
the Devil
Br F. A. MITCHEL
Somo four or flvo hundred years ago
n student lu tbo University of Bonn
bad the misfortune to lose an eye. Be
wns devoted tx> alchemy, an obsoleto
brnncb nnd forerunner of the science
we now cnll chemistry. While bend
Ing over a crucible containing a com
pound It explo-led and. striking him
In the left eye. ourned It so badly that
be was obliged to have It removed.
His faco nnd bin other eye were saved
from Injury. bel>g protected by an Iron
mnsk, for ho was working upon a mix
ture to produce gunpowder and pro
tected himself ngalnst nn explosion all
except one eyo.
The uauie of this young man was
Bert hold Schwartz. The loss of his
eye was the greater misfortune to blm
becuuso he was In lovo with Gretchen
Uecker, whose father, already preju
diced against him. bid now the more
cause to refuse blm his daughter.
That was an nge before glass eyes
were made, so fierthold Schwartz In
selecting a substance for an artificial
eye chose gold. Gretchen did not de
sert him on this account Indeed, she
was all the mor? drawn to him on ac
count of his misfortune. But she said
nothing about the loss of bis eyo to
her father, shrinking from giving blm
this additional lever against her lover.
One day old Becker met Schwartz on
the street and noticed his golden eye.
"What means this. Bertbold?" he
said, astonished. "Aro yon turning to
gold? I have been aware of your ex
periments In alchemy and fancied that
you. like the rest of your craft', were
bunting for a process for producing the
precious metals, but 1 did not suppose
you would work upon your own per
son."
"That was accidental." replied
Schwartz.
"Accidental! Have you really discov
ered a process by which you cun turn
flesh Into gold?"
"My inventions are n secret," an
swered the chemist, wishing to evade
a direct reply, nnd to avoid being fur
ther questioned bo passed on.
When Becker went home bo said ex
citedly to bis wife nnd daughter: "Gott
in blmmel. Bertbold Schwartz has dis
covered tbo secret of turning objects
Into the precious metals. But he has
been unlucky, for accidentally ho turn
ed ono of bis eyes Into gold."
"IIow was that?" asked his wife,
throwing up bcr hands In astonish
ment.
"I don't know. I suppose that any
object exposed to his process Is turned
to gold, nnd I don't understand It"
That ovcnlng Gretchen heard her
father nnd mother discussing whether,
since Berthold hnd discovered tills se
cret thnt so many at that period were
hunting for. they bnd not better glvo
him their daughter after all. The re
sult of their conference was that they
would wait and see If he really had
made such a discovery The next day
the girl went to her lover and reported
wbut bad occumd. Berthold laughed,
but. clasping Gretchen In bis arms,
said to bcr:
"You may go back and tell your par
ents. and that with truth, thnt I have
discovered n meihnd by which I can
turn base materials Into gold, for I can
produce a mixture thnt will explode
with great force nnd am experimenting
how to uso it"
Gretchen told her mother thnt it was
Indeed true thnt Berthold had discover
ed tho art of turning objects into gold,
and thero was another conference bo
I tween Bccker nnd his wife, after
which Gretchen was told that If Ber
thold would turn some ordinary object
Into gold before them they would give
her to him to wife. When Gretchen
bore tho message to her lover ho bade
her say that his secret was his own
and he would not give It to any one
else But he suggested thnt she say
to her parents that if ho chose he could
turn their eyes Into gold ns ho bad
done bin own
When Gretchen spoke of this to ber
parents they turned pale. Suppose
Schwartz should turn the eyes of ei
ther ono or both of them Into gold;
they would bo stone blind. They did
not believe that any ono could do so
wonderful n thing without the aid of
the devil, and they shrank from giving
their daughter to such a person. So
they concluded to cbargo Berthold with
I witchcraft
Unfortunately for this plan, Qrctcbco
overboard it and went at once wltb It
to Berthold, who told ber that bo bad
conceived the Idea of putting blH mix
ture Into an Iron tube closed nt ?no
end nnd n lump of metal against the
mixture. By heating the closed end he
could send the lump wltb such force as
to kill a mnn. Tbo Inventor wns go
ing to show tbls Implement to tbo king
and asked Grvtcben to marry him and
go with hlro. She consented, and the
two departed without a goodby to old
Becker and his wife.
1 A yenr later tbo couple returned to
Qretcben's homo clad In rich garments
and wltb every oppcarance of wealth.
' "Ach! 1b It then true that you can
make gold?" asked Frau Becker.
"Yes, but not as you suppose," re
plied Schwartz. "I have Invented a
compound wblcb will send a ball
1 through a man and kill him."
1 "Then you arc in leaguo wltb the
devil."
"In one way, yea; In anotbor, no.
Tbo king has given me orders for all 1
' can make of my compound and pays
no liberally."

Follow This Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain lu the back,
urinary disorders, dlzzluesa and
nervousness, It's time to act and
no tlrno to experiment. These are
froquontly symptoms of kidney
trouble, aud a remedy which it
rocommcnded for the kidneys should
bo takeu lu time.
Doan'u Kidney Plllg aro a good
remedy to uso. It has acted effect
ively lu many cases In this vicinity.
Can Alaskuu residents demand
further proof than the following tes
tlmoulul?
B. G. Beaumont, 036 O 3t.,
Eureka, Cal., says: "For a long
time I bad a bad caso of kldnoy and
bladder trouble. The kidney secret
ions woro too frequent lu passage
and I suffered a great deal from
backucbo that was especially sovero
ut night. 1 applied plastera to my
back und used othor remedies, but
without rocelvlng any noticeable
benefit. Happening to see an ar
tlcJo li the papors about Down's
Kidney Pll's, I procured tho rem
ody. 1 began using It aud In a
short time my kidneys wero restor
ed to a normal condition. I have
used five boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say tnut I am cured.
As I did uot take any other remedy
at tho samo time, 1 glvo tho full
credit for my euro to Doan's Kidney
Pills."
