Various Stations.
Muriate of potash is generally the
cheapest form in which potash can be
bought for agricultural purposes, and
from an economical point of view it
would recommend itself to use this salt
as a source of potash in preference to
other potash compounds. Experience
has shown, however, that fertilizers
containing much chlorine, and among
them muriatc Of potash, will act inju-
riously upon the quality Of potatoes by
producing soggy tubcrs. While such cf-
feet has undoubtedly been observed in
numerous instances 1t Is notable fact
that results of recent experiments tend
to show that muriatc of potash under
certain conditions may be used upon pO-
tatoes and Will produce no injury what

Mary MapdaIene,s Grava

Fifteen thousand pilgrims annually visit St. Baume, in Provence, not far from Marseilles, where Mary Magdalene is said to have spent the last 30 years of her life.
 The legend, according to the Nouvelle Revue, runs that Mary Magdalene came from Judea in small boat with Laza- rus, Martha, the two Marys and Salome, bringing with them the body of St. Anne, the head of St. James the Less and a few wee bones of the innocents massa- cred by King Hero1. But from early ages this story has been disputed, and the Abbe Duchesne, one of the most cru dite writers on the early Christian saints and martyrs, considers that the relics of Mary Magdalene were probably sent from Constantinople about the seventh century. A Greek breviary, however, speaks of the saint as having died at Ephesus.-New York Recorder.

Waves onthe Great Salt Lake.

A strong gale of wind was blowing over the lake and driving its surface into low, white capped ridges, while along the shore the foam lay like flat banks of new fallen snow. If it had passed across lake of fresh water of equal extent, that wind would unques- tionably have produced such an agita- tion of its surface that navigation in small boats would have been difficult if not highly perilous.
 But the waters of the Great Salt lake, although driven into ridges as just re- marked, showed curious resistance to the wind and the waves, rising to only a slight elevation, moved along with an appearance of lethargy that the eye could not but notice.
 Yet there was an immense momentum stored up in those low, heavy, slow moving waves. Venturing into the water at a point where the depth did not exceed four feet, the observer found that it was impossible to stand against them. Their sheer weight swept him resistlessly along.
 The curious buoyancy of the water, containing 22 per cent of salt in solu- tion, increased the helplessness of the bather. He was not submerged, as some times occurs in the Atlantic breakers, but was lifted and carried like cork.
 It would probably have been impos- sible to dive through an oncoming wave after the manner practiced by bathers along tho Atlantic coast. In the Great Salt lake people are not drowned through sinking, but strangled while still afoat. The bitter water may enter the air pass ages with fatal effect, but the body con- tinues to float until it reaches the shore or is picked up,--Youth' Companion.

Tho 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 a fe- male pope. Pope Joan, as she is called, has even given her name to a game of cards, which is mentioned in Sheridan's 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 pontificate hay 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 vulgar fable invented in the middle ages. Never, he declares, after care ful 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. London News.

Beauty's Varieties.

The French say there are several "ages" as well as kinds of beauty-the beauty of mere youthfulness, which they call la beaute du diable; also beauty of "ugliness," of ''old age" and of ''thin- ness," called la beaute du singe. Fred erika Bremen, the Swedish novelist, had the beauty of 'plainness." She was so very plain of face that her expression of trustfulness, as though appealing to you to find some other qualities in her than mere looks" shone out with perfect radiance that ennebled her face and drew friends to her, because she had no other beauty. But Miss Bremen took pleasure in her we'll kept hands, of which she used to say, Even hands have their moments" of charm.

The KOIa Nut as a Stimulant.

Half a kola nut will, says MT. c. F. Scott Elliott, in his report on the botany of Sierra Leone, enable a man to go with out food and support great fatigue for 24 hours or more. It is an excellent nerve tonic, and is especially good for keeping the brain clear and active at night. It prevents sleep, however, almost too thoroughly, and should not be taken less than four hours before bedtime. It is said to remove immediately and thoroughly the unsteadiness and stupid ity due to drunkenness. It grows freely everywhere, thrives wherever planted, seems to require no special condition of soil ls and yields at the rate of es00 per acre. Another property attributed to this nut is that of rapidly clearing foul water and improving beer.-Invention.
