Queer Formula Supposed TO Enable
Man to Live 400 Years.
Among the many philosophers who
have given to the world secrets by
which human life might be pro-
longed was Arnold de Villeneuve, a
noted physician of Paris, who was
connected with the university of that
city.
After gaining fame in France he
went to Italy, where he passed 20
Important years of his life and where
he devoted himself to the study of
astrology and alchemy.
According to the stories of his day
he made vast quantities of gold out
lead and copper, and just escaped be-
ing arrested and put TO death as sor-
cerer. His fame as physician gave
Importance to all that Villeneuve did
and said, but when he predicted the
end of the world upon a certain date
and nothing happened there was
somewhat of a change in bis popu-
larity.
His recipes for prolonging life
were most curious and one has been
preserved, and is as follows:
The person wishing to keep alive
for 900 to 400 years must thoroughly
rub his body three times week with
the juice of cassia When he re-
tires to bed each night he must put
over his heart plaster made of SAT-
from, red rose leaves, sandal wood
aloes and amber. Upon this mixture
there must be poured some oil of roses
and melted wax, the whole then
spread as a plaster. In the morning
this must all be carefully removed,
put in box of lead and kept for
use the next night.
The food of the man must be look
ed after in this wise: If he has a
temperament that leads him to look
on the brigh side of things, he must
keep sixteen chickens in yard where
there is absolutely pure air and good
water, and Is to eat one each day. III
he has rather dull and matter OF
fact temperament, he must keep 20
chickens in his yard: if he is mel
ancholy cast of mind and looks on
the dark side of life the number oil
birds must be exactly thirty, but in
any event one day must be eaten,
The chickens are so treated that
their flesh gains the qualities that
will prolong the life of him who eats
them. They are to be kept without
food till in a famishing condition,
and then fed upon broth that is to be
made of serpents cooked in vinegar
and thickened with bran. For two
months they eat this and are then
fit for the table. The drink allowed
in this diet is either white wine or
simple claret.
BY following this rule strictly for
two months after the passing of every
seven years a man may become the
rival of Methuselah himself.

ATTHE OREGON THEATRE
"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"
IS ROMANCE OF RING

With Miss Elsie st. Leon in the
title role, supported by all of the i'm
portant members of the original COM
pany, Polly Of the Circus comes to
the Oregon theater. Monday night,
December 8.
Polly of the Circus'' is a comedy
drama. Its story is romance that
leads into and out of the sawdust
ring 1t was written by Miss Mar
garet Mayo and produced by Freder-
ic Thompson.
The story of the play is unusually
attractive. With its novelty it COM
bines cleanliness and wholesomeness.
Polly, its central figure, is a young
circus rider who Is injured by fall
from her horse while the show is in
a small middle western town. 1t is
out of the question for her to accom-
pany the circus To- the next stop and
she is left at the parsonage, opposite
the circus lot, in the household of a
young minister, TO recover. Polly
has known no other life than that of
the sawdust ring, and some time
elapses before she can familiarize
herself with the staid existence of such
a community as is now her home. By
the time she succeeds in doing this,
the sound of the young ministers S
voice has become the most promising
feature of her hopes for the future.
He in turn has found the fascina-
ton OF the unlearned but intelligent
and pure hearted sprite from the
canvas-topped community almost ir.-
resistable. The opposition of his pa
rishioners displays itself in finally
successful attempt to drive the girl
from her haven. Learning that the
circus in in the neighboring township
she flees the parsonage and returns
to the show to take her regular place
on the program. The minister awaits
her return for a month and then
realizing that the happiness of both
is at stake, goes to rtclaim her. He
takes her from the ring in the very
midst of the performance. The cur
tain falls upon the pair standing up
on the deserted circus lot watching
the twinkling lights of the big ami
nal wagons as they disappear in the
distance. A more genuinely refresh
ing play than "Polly of the Circus
has not visited here in decade, and
theatergoers are already regarding
this attraction as the treat of the
season.
This is the only company present
ing this charming and fascinating
play in this country.
