A FARCE BY STEVENSON.
The Chap-Book for June 1 will Inter
est all admirers of Robert Louis Stev
enson, for the reason that It contains
two-'thlrds of a melodramatic farce In
three acts by Stevenson and W. E. Hen
ley built around the familiar plot of
"Ermlnle," under the title "Macalre."
The character of the chief vagabond Ib
much elaborated In this production, and
freer scope Is given to his airy philo
sophy and breezy soliloquizing. For ex
ample, at the moment of Macalre's es
cape from prison, and before he has
crossed the frontier Into snfety, ho
comes upon a wedding banquet scene,
In the temporary absence of the guests,
and thus apostrophizes his fellow-disreputable,
Bertrnnd:
"This Is a favored spot, Bertrand; ten
minutes from tho frontier; ton minutes
from escape. Blessings on that frontier
line! The criminal hops across, and lo!
the reputable man. We are whnt
we are; and what are we? Who are we?
Who carM? Who am I? myself. Want
do we come from? an accident. What's a
mother? an old woman. A father? tho
gentleman who beatB her. What Is crime?
discovery. Virtue? opportunity. Politics?
' a pretext. Affection? an affectation. Mor
ality? an affair of latitude Punishment?
this side of the frontier. Reward? tho
other. Property? plunder. Business?
other people's money and tho end of life
to live till wo are hunged. "
At various places In the two acts be
fore us Macalre lets fall other delica
cies from his lips. We append some of
them, as showing the versatility of the
pen which could, In one moment, draw
the grim pictures to be found In "The
Master of Ballantrae;" In the next pre
sent the fine, artistic descriptions and
character-darwing In "David Balfour."
and In the third Instance, surpass even
the epigrammatic Oscar Wilde In the
manipulation of famously pointed re
partee: "What is a chaplain? A man they pay
to say whnt you don't want to hear.
"What Is life? A boose and the police.
"What Is obedience? Fear.
"What is friendship? Convenience.
"What is a policeman? Justice's blind
eye.
"Modesty Is for the poor; when one Is
rich and nobly born, 'tis but a clog.
"What Is marriage? The union of two
Fouls, and, what Is possibly more roman
tic, the fusion of two dowries.
"What is care? Impiety. Joy? the whole
duty of man.
"Gold: What Is gold? The world; the
term of ills; the ompery of all; the multi
tudinous babble of the 'change, tho sail
ing from all ports of freighted argosies;
music, wine, a palace; the doors of tho
bright theater, the key of consciences and
love love's whistle.",
There Is a fine scene between Macalre
nnd Bertrand at the beginning of Act
II perWaps the finest. bit In the whole
effort. It Is the night after Macalre'g
successful foisting of himself and his
companion upon the Innocent -host.
Macalre and Bertrand are seated each
at his table, with bottle and glass, and
Macalre Is watching the upcurling of
the smoke from his cigarette. This
dialogue then ensues:
Macalre Bertrand, I am content; a
child might play with me. Does your plpo
draw well?
Bertrand Like a factory chimney. This
is my notion of life; liquor, a chair, a table
to put my feet on, a fine clean pipe, and no
police.
Macalro Bertrand, do you see these
. changing exhalations? do you see these
blue rings and spirals weaving their
dance like a round of fairies, on the foot
less air? V
Bertrand I see 'em right enough.
MacaSre Man of little, visions, expound
me these meteors. What do they signify,
O wooSen-hcad? Clod, of what do they
consist?
Bertrand Damned bad tobacco.
Macalre I will give you a little course of
science. Everything, Bertrand (much as It
may surprise you) has three states; a
vapor, a liquid, a solid. These are fortune
In vapor; these are Ideas. What are
Ideas? the protoplasm of wealth. To your
heail-vtilcrr, by the way. Is a solid, Ber
trand what are they but foul- air? To
mine, to my prehensile and constructive
Intellect, see, as I grasp and work them,
to what lineament of the future thay
" transform themselves; a palace, a ba
rouche, a pair of luminous footmen, plate,
wine, respect, and to be honest!
Bertrand But what's the sense In hon
esty? Macalre The sense?. You see me: Mac
alre; elegant. Immoral, Invincible In cun
ning; well, Bertrand, much as It may sur
prise you, I am simply damned by my dis
honesty, i
nertrnnd Nol
Macalre The honest man, Bertrand,
that's God's noblest work. He carries tho
bag, my boy. Would you have me define
lianesty? the strateglo point for theft.
Bertrnnd, if I'd three hundred a year, I'd
be honest tomorrow.
Bertrand Ah, don't you wish you may
get It?
Macalre Bertrand, I 'will bet you my
head against your own tht longest oc'ds I
can Imagine that with honesty for my
springboard, I leap through history like a
paper hoop, and come out among posterity
heroic and Immortal,
Macalre endeavors without . success
out with, side-splitting ingenuity and
versatility to palm himself off as the.
father of Charles, a young man about
to be married, his hope being to make
off with, the dowries. Finally,. In his
chagrin, he "renders It possible for Act
II to close with the following Inimitable
scene:
( Bertrand Sold again, captain?
Macalre Ay, they will have It,
.. Bertrand It? What?
, Macalre The worst, Bertrand. What is
man r a oeasi 01 prey. An nour ago, ana
I'd have taken a crust, and gone In peace.
But no; they would trick and Juggle, curse
them; they would wriggle and cheat 1
Well, I accept the challenge ; war to tho
knife! '
Bertrand Murder?
Macalre What is murder? A legal term
for a man dying. Call It Fate, and that's
philosophy; call me Providence, and you
talk religion. Die? Why, that Is what
man Is made for; we are full of mortal
parts; we are all as good as dead already,
we hang so close upon the brink; touch but
a button, and the strongest falls In disso
lution. Mow, see how easy; I take you
(grappling him). . .
, Bertrand Macalre O nol
Macalre Fool I would I harm a fly; when
' I had nothing to gain? As the butcher
with the sheep, I kill to live; and whore is
the difference between man and mutton?
pride and a tailor's bill! Murder? I know
who made that name a man crouching
from the knife! Selfishness made It the
aggregated egotism called society; but I
meet, with, a selfishness as great. Has
lie money? Have I none great powers,
none? Well, then, I fatten and manure
my life with his. '
Bertrand Yo frighten me. Who Is It?
Macalre Mark ' well. (The marquis
opens the door of No. 13, and the rest,
clustering round, bid him good night. As
they begin to disperse along the gallery
the
he enters, and shuts the door.) Out, out,
brief candle! That man Is doomed.
The third act, of course, Is yet to
come; but It la not needed to show that
In this farce Stevenson has achieved a
notable triumph. The pungency of the
dialogue, Its exquisite drollery and
nicely shaded bumptiousness, and final
ly the real polish of the lines spoken by
Macalre, despite his exaggeration and
swagger, reveal a touch beyond all
comparison with the relatively crude
framework of the more familiar libret
to, which In turn wne .tnken from an
English adaptation of an old French
play, entitled "Chlen d' Aubrey." We
take It that Mr. Henley's connection
with this farce was chlofly for the pur
pose of shnplng his distinguished col
league's work so as to fit It for re
production on the stage. Tho Joint pro
duct, whether actable or not and we
should fancy that, properly cast. It
would achieve1 a slgnnl success before
the footlights Is a delightful play for
the library, nnd adds distinctly to the
varied claims of Hs Illustrious author
upon the remembranco of admirers of
genuine literature. L. S. R.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Tho long-promised first library num
ber of McClure's magazine has ap
peared, and is fully up to the public's
high expe-jtaMons. Hi contalns iMIss
Ida M. Tarbell's short life of Napoleon
which lately rnn ns a serial through
the monthly numbers of the magazine,
together with 250 splendid portraits
and Illustrations In half-tone, many
never before published. In addition to
tho Hubbard collecHon of Napoleon
engravings, In Itself the finest In the
world, a number of entirely new pic
tures have been secured by special per
mission from living descendants of the
great Corslcan. Road connectedly. In
this happy setting. Miss Tarbell's life
gains In Interest. Not pretending to
present new material, she has made a
happy resume of published facts con
cerning Bonaparte, and has displayed
a fluency of style and a nice compre
hension of the dramatic requirements
of a Napoleonic biography which single
her "life" out as, upon the whole, the
most satisfactory short life In print.
Mochanlcally, the number could not be
Improved. It Is literally, In all particu
lars save the cover, a $10 book for 50
cents. ' ' '
French-reading Americans, tn fact all
persons who take an. -Interest In literary
and artistic movements In Europe and
American, will greet with pleasure the

HAD TO BE PADLOCKED.
Why Satan Was Particular About Con
. fining the Fifty-third Congress.
A remarkable dream was had by a
certain Alabama farmer, during one
of the sessions of the last congress.
The ancient agriculturist reamed that
he died and, sad to say, went to the bad
place. However, Satan was very affa
ble and gave the Alabama man the
run of the place. In his wanderings
one day the newcomer; came upon
massive iron vault, secured with many
locks. No one being about the farmer
proceeded to .satiety his curiosity by
trylm? to break into) the1- vault with a
crow-bar which was handy.
At the sound of the first blow an as
sistant imp appeared. , "For heaven's
sake, don't doithat!" he shrieked. "We
keep the Fifty-third congress In there.
If it was once let loose, hades, would be
as undesirable a place of residence at
the United States is at present."
FUEL OF THE WORLD.
A Doserlption of Some of the Curious
Substitutes for Coal Employed by Va
rious Notions, Past and Presont. '
From the Cleveland World.
One of the most Interesting of the
patented fuels Is a brick or Cartridge
of highly porous clay, which Is to be
soaked In paraffin, and put into a stove
when wanted. The housewife has only
to touch a match to it, and the fire Is
ready for cooking. No laborious pre
liminary process of kindling Is required
before breakfast can be prepared. At
first blush the idea seems to be a de
lightful one, but after a few trials It
Is discovered that soot is given oft In
such quantities from the burning bricks
as to blacken, everybody and every
thing in the kitchen.
In France pressed bricks of tannery
waste are used by economical house
keepers to keep up fires at a slow rate
of combustion. All over Europe bricks
of coal dust are largely employed for
running locomotives. In Japan charcoal
Is ground and made into balls with
ashes for cheap fuel. In certain shoe
making towns there are some very poor
people who burn nothing else but leath
er chips from one end of the winter to
the other. They get them from the fac
tories by the wheelbarrow load. Such
chips, of course, smoulder with a great
deal of smoke. Nearly all of the Baw
dust from saw mills everywhere is
utilized for fuel.
liny t'sed In I'tnh.
But one must go to Utah In order to
find hay put to the same purpose.
There the Mormons have peculiar stove
ovens constructed, for the combustion
of hay. They twist the hay into tight
wisps, and at night they fill the fire
box of the stove 'with It as full as
possible, closing the damper, and per
mitting it to smoulder all night.
Maize Is a first-rate fuel, and makes
a rousing hot fire. Dried manure Is
utilized for fuel all over the world,
from Peru to Asia Minor and the plat
eaux of Thibet. It Is used in this way
to such an extent in India that the au
thorities are making great efforts to
.rtop the practice. What cattle and
other browsing animals take from the
soil ought to go back to It, instead of
which It is burned and lost for ever.
Thus the soil Is becoming steadily im
poverished. In Egypt mummies,, chiefly those of
cats, ibises and other animals held sa
cred by the ancient inhabitants, were
employed within recent years for Tun
ing trains between Cairo and Alex
andria. Dead fish, particularly the
salmon, have been, and perhaps are to
this day, employed to some extent ns
fuel by the Indians in parts of British
Columbia. They contain enough oil
and muscular fibre to burn well.
On the coast of Scotland petrels are
utilized In an odd way. They are very
fat, and are made to serve as candles,
wicks being run through them. The
employment of the candle-fish of Alas
ka in a similar fashion Is familiar. But
this Is a question of Illumination and
not of heating. The Eskimo lamp of
soapstone, filled with whale-oil, Is a
stove.
In the desert regions of Arizona,
where there Is no vegetation worth
mentioning, tho Indians dig up for fuel
the enormously developed roots of va
rious plants. Pine cones make a fine
kindling, and are utilized for that pur
pose all over Europe, particularly in the
Black Forest and other parts of Ger
many. To I'tillzo tho Sun's Rays.
The attention of many scientific men
has long been engaged in trying to de
vise some sort of apparatus for employ
ing the sun's rays as fuel. One bf the
more noted experimenters in this line
Is Professor Edward Sylvester Morse.
Mirrors are most commonly used to
concentrate the ravs of the solar orb
for this purpose. In one instance not
long ago success was obtained in an
attempt to cook a goose by a sun-stove.'
Unfortunately at the conclusion of the
peratlon It was found that the bird
was spoiled, being rendered unfit for
food by the chemical action of the sun's
rays. This, of course, might be avoid
ed by shutting up the articles to be
cooked In closed ovens. But the ob
jection to the sun-Btove, thus far found
Insuperable, is its necessary elaborate
ness and consequent great cost.
Alcohol is an ideal fuel. ' It gives
great heat, and Its combustion is per
fect, without smoke or other solid resi
duum. In burning It resolves Itself
into water and carbonic acid gas. Of
course, It is too expensive for. com
mon use, but chemistry may yet dis
cover a way of producing it at a small
fraction of its present cost.
; Some machinery Is already run by
chemicals without fire. Nature under
stands this. The human body is a ma
chine run hy chemical energy. Sul
phate of magnesia has been employed
for running engines. Cans are filled
with this compound and heated. In
cooling and crystallising it Elves off
heat.. - ' '
There Is a tradition in Ireland to the
effect that the present peat-bogs of the
Green Isle were formerly fertile fields
belonging to the Druid priests, and that
that great religious reformer, St. Pat
rick, blasted them. If the peat-bogs
'could He undisturbed, and be covered
over for ages they would be traps'
formed into coal. !
MAGIC OF THE SUMMER WOOD,
Signs that Tell of the Coming of tho Time
of Predominant Greenery.
Even the sycamores and the sassafras
trees are green. That means that the era
of full foliage is not far off. Mid-June
should find it here. The sycamore is an
ungainly and unsympathetic tree, slow to
yield to the blandishments of spring. Its
youth Is unlovely and Its age, while digni
fied with height and girth, never attains
the mellowness of tho oak or elm. The
sycamores even yet show scant amid their
brethren of 'the wood. One knows by the
depth to which the eyes pierce that the
greenery has not yet attained Its full sum
mer luxuriance.. The elms seem at their
beBt, with a dark splendor of foliage that
must later yield to the ravages of the beo
tie.' Oaks and hickories are still notice
ably short of full foliage and color. The
young foliage of the oak Is peculiarly soft
and pliant. It looks In the mass almost
fluffy and Is of rare beauty. When the
sorrel tinge of youth has gone out of the
loaves the woody fiber of the ribs will have
hardened, and the whole leaf will have be
come crisp and strong. The graceful soft'
ness of the foliage In the mass will then
have disappeared. The young - hickory
leaves droop also, and display many
slantod points; all seemingly at the same
angle to the earth's surface. So the young
beech leases. They have lost the downy
charm of their earliest youth, and have ox
panded so that their accordion pleats have
been smoothed out; but on looking upward
through the tree one realises that density
is yet to be added- to the mass. The
hickory-catkins are fallen and the tiny
nuts are. visible on close examination.
You may see the point of recent Juncture
with the catkins. Chestnut tassies are yet
to come. - . ,- r
One evidence that the time of predomi
nant greenery has come Js furnished by
the dogwood, whose withering white blos
soms have gradually melted into the
cloaking mass of leaves. Tho haw trees
are dark green heavens in which burn
great soft white spheres, which ure the
disk-like blossoms. DUborrles are punc
turing their humbler way with snowy
buds, and the light green buttons of their
tall brethren, tho blackberries, are open
ing. Doubtless tho recent rain was tho
blackberry storm. It looks as If, with
enough rain in June and July, the fruit
would be plentiful. A few lucky suburbans
oan still pick wild blackberries for break
fast, and make blackberry brandy of their
own fruit.
Now at last, with the broadening and
thickening of tho greenery, the woodlands
begin to have their summer aspect and
odors. This is especially true on hot days
after a rain. Then the summer charm of
the unspoiled woodland asserts Itself, The
appeal Is to eyes and ears and nostrils,
and to sense more thoroughly than to the
last. The good smell of the woods, com
posed of chemically extracted creosotes
through slow combustion of the dead
leaves, resins from pines nnd cedars, per
fumes from blossoms, and tho rainy odor
that may, perhaps, be due In part to ozone,
salutes the noBtrlls at every step. Tho
drip from raln-sonked branches betrays
tho moving birds. Standing a moment In
some alley of the wood, one realizes the
miracle of growth wrought In these last
weeks. Where were bare trunks and
branches there are fresh leaves; where
were long vistas there are plots of green
ery. The russet carpet Is overlaid with
one of thin green, through which the ear
lier covering shows In tatters. The foot
paths are still reddish brown, and will so
remain until they are glorified with the
new fallen leaves of October. Tho magic
of tho summer wood is everywhere, and
from a score of trees and thickets there is
Bounding the wild bird orchestra, now
complete even down to the tiniest warbler
that pipes as ho pursues his Insect prey.
The Influence of It all Ib not to be resisted
by any man or woman bred to see and
foel such things. Meanwhllo, outside the
meadows are kneedeep In grass, the cow
blackbird, wickedest rake of the feathered
tribe. Is following the cattle as they feed;
the swallow's cross-bow Is wheeling low
In swift circles, and the oriole's call Is
tossed In air from the orchard tops. The
woodland needs only the denser shade of
mid-June and the prolonged heats of July
to take on its tropic aspect and half de
ceive the wanderer with the hope of a per
petual summer.
Correctly Answorod.
From the Washington Star,
"Helen," said Mr. Whyklns, who somo-

you'll appreciate It, only you must not let
It make you angry."
"What Is it, Henry?"
"What's the difference between a woman
and an umbrella?"
"The difference," she answered serenely,
is that a man isn't afraid to take an um

he doesn't try to conceal the fact that It's
above him when a real emergency ur

Mr. William Thornton, of 127 W. Morkct
Street, Explains How and
Why Ito Did It.
From the Elmlra Gazette.
Old age has many Infirmities, none of
which are more prevalent than kidney dis
orders. Have you ever noticed how the
old people complain of backache, lame
back, and general HstlbssnesB? And there
are many other symptoms of which they
do not speak, such as bloating of the limbs,
Dalnf ul and Infrequent urination or excess.
iveness of the urinary discharge. Most
people think they are too old to find rollef
and cure, but this is not so. mo netter ev
idence than the following, which comes
from an Elmlra citizen, who has been
cured of a very severe case at 77 years of
age. Mr. William Thornton, of 127 West
Market street, speaks of hta case In this
way: "I am 77 years old. I have been
aflllcted with that dreadful complaint
(kidney disease) for over ten years, mak
ing my old age a burden. I was so bad as
to be forced to carry a belt at all times,
and, when my Buffering became beyond
endurance, I would put on the belt, draw
ing It tightly around me and bucklo It
thus bringing an extreme pressure over
the kldnoys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, a function which the kidneys
themselves had bocome too diseased to
perform. My condition I put down to a
strain I received. I began taking Doan's
Kidney Pills. I was much surprised, as
the ailment was bo sovore and so long
standing, while I had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever. The pain I
have experienced at times from straining
In my efforts to discharge the urine was
simply awful. I have done away with tho
use of myvleathor belt, and the pain has
all gone, and I recommend Doan s Kidney
Pills to all aflllcted with kidney and
urinary disorders.
