The inventive genius of man is de vising processes through which thous ands are enabled to enjoy elevating 1 an 1 artistic pleasures where only ! scores have heretofore possessed the privilege. An illustration Is furbished of thTs progress in providing pleasure for the people, in the arrangement made by j an opera company in Kansas City. TLrough the enterprise of this com pany, audiences in Denver, and per haps other cities, were enabled to en Joy tbe classical music rendered in the Kansas City opera house through the use of the telephone, the apparat us being arranged to give a compara tively perfect reproduction. The invention of the phonograph with the various improvements In its operations that have been made, give Yo the people In their own homes won derfully accurate and lifelike repro ductions of the most noted vocal and instrumental artists, lecturers and po- perfect "machines" through which peo - pie will be able to see those with whom nd hlB ,haB alreaJy bl aPPached b7 the k,etOBPt' which rProd.u tbe, 6peech ,and. the s6tureB performers In picture plays, and it is orly a step to picture operas.

Fact, as Invented ; by Edison, is far more impressive than the fiction concerning Aladdin, for it I comes to pass right under the gaze of , the public. ! If there is anything in the story that ctrnes from London of the moving pic ture machine for the use in the family circle, it is only a question of a few years before the pressing of a button or the turning of a crank will repro- duce for the enjoyment of the family circle the choicest pleasures of the dramatic and lyric stage.

PREPARATION OF MVSHROOM FOR COOKING. Mushrooms have a wonderful deli cacy In flavoring, and this is where their chief value lies. While they are j usually placed with the nitrogenous looas, it is oecause mey ao not con tain starch or sugar, but a large per- centare of water and not sufficient ; nitrogen for a tissue builder; neither do they take the place of meat.

There are too many real rebels to be beheaded. But 1 must get some rest. Tomorrow 1 shall ofB eiute on Tower hill in the case of some of the finest lairds in Scotland." Prince Charles Frederick, who went to Scotland from France and led the rebellion of 174 against the Hano verian. George II.. was by inheritance the rightful Cing of England. His effort failed largely lieeause he was a Roman Catholic and England had be come by that time almost entirely Protestant Hundreds of Scotch pris oners were taken to Londou. Imprison ed in tlie Tirwerand executed on Tow er hill just beyond the fortress' wails. Among these was a certain Cameron MacAlister, who had taken np Prince Charlie's cause and was captured at the luittie of Culloden. which resulted so disastrously to the Scotch. When Cameron MacAlister was taken to London his daughter. Mary, seventeen years of age. insisted on going with him. She marched beside him all the way from Edinburgh and on their arrival nt London wns put Into the Tower with the other prisoners. It be ins Huwtosod that she Had been sent, like him. to meet a charge of treason t.gsiinst the (illegitimate sovereign of the United Kingdom. It wns thi Mary MacAlister who was mentioned by the headsman Klaxon. Sir Percy Manning, the lieu tenant of the Tower, a young man twenty-seven years of age. had no ticed the girl aDd when he heard her name mentioned shuddered. He bad , l)wn to t,,sv to inquire into her case. I , inoiiun uer cpvuumi nt lac man sue i B'.'ciuiianieu. ner Kirimu iace. ner blue eyes, bent lovingly and mourn fully on her father, had attracted Mr Percy so far that she had not been out of his mind a moment since. Though the hloo1y . work of getting rid of the Scotch rebels was but half done, the lii'iitennnt determined to look into the cas of the Scotch lassie and learn If she we're among those charged with rebellion. That ihe was a girl and very xt-uns was no reason why she should not pay the penalty of treason. Little more than a century ! before Lady Jane Grey, exactly the same age as this Mary MacAlister. i had been beheaded within tbe court , yard of the Tower, and two of King S Henry VIII. 'a wives, not much older, j had met tbe same fate on the same snot. Leaving the executioner with a bot tle before him with which to stimu late his overstrained nerves. Kir Percy went to look up Mary MacAlister. He found ber In a cell near her father. "Why are you here?" be auked her. "Because 1 could no' leave dear fa ther to cootn alone. Will they behead blui. sir?" she added, looking eager and wistful at tbe lieutenant. "Are you charged with treason eaalnat the kias?" Daily Story- "I dlnna know as to that, and I dlnn.n care. If they kill ray father 1 hope they'll let me go with him." Sir Percy longed to take the poor girl in his arms and assure her that If ha had the power to save her father he would do so. but he preserved his equs nlmlty. though he could tmt have" done It for long. Fortunately the warden announced that another batch of Scotch rebels were at the traitors' gate, their guards waiting for it to be opened that they mi;ht bring the prisoners in. So he weut away to receive the new in stallment of persons doomed either to the block or a long Imprisonment A. soon as1 tbe lieutenant had In carcerated these newly arrived persons he examined his list of prisoners and found the name of Cameron MacAlis ter, but his daughter's name did not appear. What concerned the youu man was that the father's name was on the list of those who were to form a spectacle for the populace on Tower hill the morrow. Between Klaxon, the beadsman, and the lieutenant were that sad. sweet face and the words: "1 dlnna care. If they kill my father 1 hope they'll let me go with him." Then be fell to thlnkitig how be might save both father and daughter. Locking himself in his office, be strove to Invent a plan for getting them out of the Tower and away. He would be obliged to go himself, for be was responsible for MacAlister to the king, and bis own head would fall In place of tbe Scot. Presently Sir Percy called an attendant and summoned the s headsman. "Klaxon," he said , when the func tionary arrived, "tomorrow you are to officiate on Tower hill. When you have dropped the heads of all those to be executed save one. stagger, catch at the rail of tbe scaffold as If for sup port and declare yourself unable to I proceed further with your duties." "Give me a reason, lieutenant" "The last prisoner on your list will be the father of the Scotch lassie of whom you spoke to me awhile ago." "She with the sad face? "Yes." "And will that save her father?" - "For the time being." ' When Cameron MacAlister was call ed forth to execution be deemed it a hardship that be was not permitted to bid his daughter good by. rie was obliged to witness tbe death of bis com rades. Then when nbout to lay bis head on tbe block the headsman broke down, being unable to strike the blow, and the doomed man was sent back to his cell iu tbe fortress. "Good!" exclaimed the lieutenant "I shall now have time to carry out my plan." The next night at about 10 o'clock two men sat in a boat on the Thames near the traitors' gate. At 11 the lieu tenant went the rounds and. finding every one except the guards in bed, took n uniform to the cull of MacAlis ter and bade him put It un and follow him. Stopping at Mary's cell, she was liberated, and they went down a stair case lending to the traitor's gate. They were seen by guards; but, since they were the commander, a guard and a girl, no attention was paid to them. Unlocking the gate, the lieutenant gave a whistle, and the boat with the two men In It was rowed In to the steps. The party entered the boat, the lieu tenant shutting the gate after him be fore doing so, and they were pulled down the river to a vessel lying at an chor. As soon as they were aboard the anchor was raised and the ship set snil. France at' that time was the abid ing place of Prince Charlie, and any of his adherents who conid reach her coast were uafe. The ship in which our party bad embarked suc ceeded In getting to the mouth of the river without being Intercepted and stood across the channel. I'.efore she was out of the river it was known in London that a prisoner was missing, and no one could tell what had become of the lieutenant of the Tower. The party reached Ihe coast of France safely. Cameron MacAlister nnd his daughter murveled how It had all come about, ntwl Mary was ready to fall on her knees and worship the man who had planned the escape. They went to Paris, where they round me prince, ana Mr Percy an nounced himself as one of his adher ents. But the cause of the pretender, as he was called, was not again des- tined to trouble thp kings of England. ImlAAfl A tha ronra nnwiwl If atihul.l. ed Into not even a pretense.
