The Pope Joan Legend.

In spite of the learned historian by
whom the story has been refuted, there
is still widespread popular belief that
there existed in the middle ages fe-
male pope. Pope Joan, as she is called,
has even given her name to game of
cards, which is mentioned in Sheridan's
"School For Scandal"
The tradition with regard to the fe-
male pope has been traced back to the
eleventh century, but she is said to have
lived much. earlier, her pontifcate hav-
ing taken place in the ninth century and
having lasted for more than two years.
The name she is alleged to have assumed
is John VII. At the last meeting of the
Academy of Inscriptions in Paris, M.
Muntz dealt another blow at story
which Gibbon, who cannot be suspected
Of Catholic prejudices, considered had
been "annihilated" by two Protestant
critics, Blondel and Bayle.
M. Muntz characterizes the legend as
a vulgar fable invented in the middle
ages. Never, he declares, after care
full study of the question, has woman
worn the tiara, and moreover there was
no interregnum at the period when the
pretended John VII governed the church.

Peculiarities In Massage.

Light friction of part reduces sur
face temperature. In 10 experiments on
healthy adults, whose armpit tempera-
ture on both sides was equal, and whose
free surface temperature on the sur
face of both forearms was before mas
sage S8 degrees f. or more, it was
found, on subjecting the left forearm to
gentle upward friction, that while the
temperature in both armpits and in the
untouched free surface of the opposite
limb remained constant, the tempera-
ture of the left forearm fell in all cases
more than two degrees and in three
cases nearly four degrees.
After firm friction, rolling, squeezing
and kneading of the skin of the limb il
all cases, the free cutaneous tempera-
ture rose to 95 degrees, but the armpit
temperature remained the same on both
sides, while i'll seven cases an interest
ing phenomenon was noticed on the op-
posite side-viz, the right limb scnsibly
perspired and the free surface tempera-
ture of the untouched forearm fell to 81
degrees during the time that the firm
friction of the left limb was in progfess.
In regard to light friction it has been
impossible to detect any effect on the
patients sense of locality or on the tenn
perature sense. After firm friction of
part for five minutes comes a decided in
crease of the sense Of touch, and the
sense Of locality has in most instances
been apparently improved. York

The Kola Nut as a stimulant.

Half kola nut will; says Mr.. G. F.
Scott Elliott, in his report on the botany
of Sierra Leone, enable man to 60 with
out food and support great fatigue for
"a hours or more. 1t is an excellent
nerve tonic, and is especially good for
keeping the brain clear and active at
night. Itprevents sleep, however, almost
too thoroughly, and should not be taken
less than four hours before bedtime.
1t is said to remove Immediately and
thoroughly the unsteadiness and stupid
ity due to drunkenness. 1t grows freely
everywhere, thrives wherever planted
seems to require no special condition of
soil and yields at the rate of eS00 per
acre. Another property attributed to
this nut is that of rapidly clearing foul

"she is 40 much prettier than che
used to be when che was go very thin"
Women seldemw ish to dress inappro-
priately, but they often do not realize
the changes time slowly makes. They
fail to seize upon the fashion that suits
each stage of their beauty. aud that at
each stage shows them more lovely than
in the preceding one. For woman to
cling to the fashion she has outgrown is
to betray herself as growing old, while
to change her mode of drese to suit her
own changes, is to prove herself devel-
oping year by year into more gracious
beauty. A tasteful model for her who
is bidding good bye to slenderness is the
artists fourth Offering. AS sketched it

a violet shade, trimmed with the
same goods of almond color and with
rich embroidery. The use of velvet for
trimming ia now so general and this
model is 80 we'll designed for its use in
that way that it would be hardly the
thing to make the costume without hav-
ing velvet for yoke, belt and sleeves.
But the dress itself might safely come
from less expensive goods ii desired.

smoothness and slant Of the asphalt gave

The first skirt pictured in this column
is trimmed with two gathered ruff1es,
each forming small head and orna-
mented with jet passementerie. The
material used in the model is sage
green Powered woollen goods. The bod
ice has silk yoke OF silk illusion, GOV.
cred with black lace, and is edged with
q fancy passementerie of jet heads.
Under the arms are strings OF the beads,
attached in the center of the front and
back to the passementerie. The sleeves
have two puffs of the goods covered with
black lace. and the long cuffs are made
in the same manner.
Gigot sleeves OF jeweled brocade, and
in color contrasting with the rest of the
gown, are used with elegant dresses.
Indeed, some very elaborate sleeves are
sold ready made, and the material is
purchased for the rest OF the gown after
the sleeves are secured. A gown 80 de-
signed was built around pair OF salmon
brocade sleeves, thickly sewn with
emeralds. The material OF the rest of the
gown was a silk of an emerald tone shot
with pink, an overdress of emerald vel
vet lined with salmon silk being worn.
This is but one piece Of evidence to the
fact that you may have gown of ehreds
and patches and be very swell indeed;
that is, you may devise gown OF the

back and front and forming draped
points at the sides, with the cloth taken

and is trimmed with velvet, revers that
form epaulettes at the shoulders and a
round collar in back. From the shoul-
der seam to the bottom comes band of
galoon but only down the front. Ex-
tending from either side and coming
over the passementerie band are two
jacket flaps ornamentsd with fancy gold
buttons. The standing collar is made
Of folded cloth and the belt consists of
band of galoon. The sleeves have a
large puff and long, tight cuff.
A word of warning should be spoken

ZADEJ.
France paid five millards OF francs, a
milliard being one Thousand million,
and the total being thus five thousand
millions of francs, equal to just one
thousand million of dollars, or we may
say one billion of dollars. The first in
stallment was paid in the second week
OF July, 1871; the last installment, al
though not due until 1875, was paid
September 5, 1878. The indemnity was
raised by popular loan, subscribed for
by the French people four times over,

France itself.

Does the top of wheel move faeter
than the bottom? j. S. POTTER.
When the axle is fixed, the top moves
no faster than the bottom but when the
axle is in motion, as in moving wagon,
the top of the wheel moves faster than
the bottom. This is because the top OF
the wheel has to 60 forward as we'll as
down, while the bottom of the wheel has
merely to 90 up; the top, therefore, has
to cover more distance than the bottom,
without having any more time in which
to do its work, 80 it must move faster
than the bottom.

QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

What was the Alabama Claims COM
mission and why, if it was an Ameri-
can commission, did it meet somewhere
in EuropeP L. T. W.
The Alabama Claims commission, or
the Geneva tribunal, as tits often called,
was joint high commission organized
under the first II articles of the treaty
of Washington, May Stb, 1871. 1t was
to decide whether Great Britain was
liable to the United States Tor Losses in
Cured by American citizens by the
depredations of the Confed,arate cruiser
Alabama, which was fitted out by the
Confederates with the connivance of
the British government against the pro-
test OF the United States The COM
mission met at Geneva, the chief city OF
Switzerland, which is the home OF
neutrality, on December l5, 1871. 1t
consisted OF Count Frederi Sclopis of
Italy. President Baron Staempfli OF
Switzerland, Vicount d'Itajuba OF
Brazil, Mr.. Charles Francis Adams
OF this country and Sir Alex
ander Cockburn OF Great Brit
ain. The United States put in a claim
for indirect damages" to which Great
Britain objected; and the commission
on June 10, 1872, decided not to con-
elder these claims. The tribunal sat
from June 18th to September IA, 1872.
when the final award was announced,
giving to the United States the sum of
sl5,000,000 in gold for actual losses
caused by the Alabama, the Florida and
the Shenandoah, the three commerce
destroyers fitted out for the confeder-
l.,
sion met at Geneva because that was
neutral territory, convenient to the
foreign commissions, as the list OF mem
bers shows; it was an eminently inter-
national commission, not American, ex-
cent as to nna of its fua mamie
