POTASH MINES,
They Are All In Prussia and Supply
the Entire World.

the Entire w CclQ.
The potash which is dug from the
royal Prussian mines, located at Strass-
furt, ninety miles from Berlin, is the
sole source Of the worlds supply. Be-
fore the mines were discovered the
best substitute which could be found
for the product was wood ash, such as
the southern plantations used in the
old days for making lye soap. The
Prussian mines are twenty-seven In
number and were devoted to the pro-
duction Of salt before rock salt was
discovered.
When the new variety Of salt was
given to the world the Prussian mines
were temporarily abandoned, and in a
few years q search for rock salt was
instituted. The salt was found, but
in badly adulterated condition, and
an analysis Of the adulterant revealed
the fact that it was the most valuable
part Of the mineral. The potash was
at once turned to use as commercial
fertilizer.
The mines are controlled by synd1-
cate. They employ $1,000 men and
yield 1900 car loads day Of potash.
OF the entire output Is per cent is
used for agricultural purposes, while
the remainder is used for chemical
purposes. 1t is largely utilized in the
cyanide process of extracting gold
from the ore.-Louisville Courier-Jour-

GARDENS OF THE ALCAZAR.
One of Their Greatest Charms ls the
snnnrent Lack of Cultivation.


Apparent Lack OF Cultivation.
The garden Of the AlcaZar is one
garden composed Of several, each open.
ing into the other by steps descending
from a terrace OF through arches in
marble or living green.
All the gardens are surrounded with
wonderful hedges Of myrtle, juniper or
box. If the gardens Of tie Alcazar
should be stripped Of all but their
hedges, palm trees and magnol1as,
they would still be most wonderful. In
some places walls about eight feet In
height separate the gardens, and
against these walls are trained orange
and peach trees, with tangle Of jas
mine and roses climbing among them
as they will. In fact, the flowers grow
in such careless and natural profusion
and there is seemingly so little cultiya-
ton that one might almost think the
hoe Of a gardener had not visited the
place for a hundred years. This very
carelessness was one Of the greatest
charms Of the place and added to the
effect Of age that clung to everything.
Modern gardeners would stand aghast
at such apparent neglect.
I recognized that the very lack OF
modern care was artistic and suitable
and yet wondered, if the place We're
mine, whether I could forbear the use
of shears, trowel and hoe. The hedges
were trimmed. These, with some Or
ange trees growing in a solid mass OF
green along some fifty feet Of palace
wall and reaching to the very roof,
alone bore signs of the gardener
shears
The flower beds were Of intricate
shapes, filed with tangled mass of
flowers and always surrounded with
box. And such box. Ny heart sank
within me when thougha Of the box
in my garden at home. where not even
hundred mild winters and hundred
rainy summers could give growth like
the smallest Of that at the Alcazar.
The bouquet that is considered in Sc
vile as model of beauty and elegance
was to our eyes & most hideous thing.
In shape like a pyramid, about four
teen inches high, it was formed by fas.
tening a magnolia bud to the top of q
smooth, round stick and then winding
flowers tightly around the stick, each
succeeding row becoming larger, so
that at the bottom the bouquet was
probably two feet around. 1t was a
frequent sight to see two men carrying
pole between them with from six to q
dozen of these bouquets swinging,
heads down, from the pole.-Scribner's.

Wanted q Sure Thing.

An English professor Of mineralogy
tells a good story about certain big
English commercial magnate. BE says
that the great merchant in question
came to him to consult about the In
struction Of the hopeful son and heir
who was some day to run the vast
business interests from which "the
pater" had made his wealth.
But mind you," said he, Il don't
want him to learn about strata or dips
or faults or upheaVals or denudatons,
and I don't want him to fill his mind
with fossils or stuff about crystals.

It is recorded in history that when

thuras, sent him a message consisting
Of a mouse, a frog, a bird, an arrow
and plow. The wisest men in the
army puzzled over the meaning Of It,
which was conjectured to be that the
empire was surrendered. It was sup
posed that the mouse signifed the
dwellings, the frog the waters, the
bird the air, the arrow the arms and
the plow the land.
But it turned out eventually that
the Interpretation intended was that
unless Darius and his soldiers could fly
like birds, burrow like mice or betake
themselves like frogs to the water they
would never escape the weapons Of the
Scythians and make their way out o1
the country.

Tendencies of the Time.

Personal luxury-vulgar, ostentatous,
unaesthetic- is rampant. Our men wear
diamonds, sapphires, rubies in their
ties, IN their sleeve links, in their gold
cigarette cases, in their matchboxes.
Brutal ostentatien is near to being the
good form Of today. Our women clothe
themselves with reckless profusion.
Life is murdered in every quarter Of
the globe to provide them with furs,
with feathers, with the hundred and
one gewgaws that have come to be con-
sidered ssential-Today.

Letter From Fred Muehlenkamp

Fred Muehlenkamp, brother of Rev
Muehlenkamp, of Athens, recently re.
turned home to Sparta from a trip
through the Northwest Territory. Mr.

land in Canada without first going t0
see the country, and more thoroughly
disappointed gentleman can hardly be
imagined. Rev. Muehlenkamp recently
received letter from his brother part
of which we publish:

when it is decidedly interesting and so
well presented as Denman Thompson
and Geo. w. Rye's "Our New Minister" /"
which was one. of the big hits of last
season, and which comes to the Grand
opera house on Thurday, Sept. s, for its
annual engagement. This new play,
portrayed by an excellent company of
players, is getting II hold on the popu-
lar heart like "The Old Homestead. !"
Don't let it get away without seeing it
if you want to know what good acting
and an up to date play really are. If
you have seen it before, go again, for
there are a number of artistic touches
here ant there that you may have
missed. 1t is excellently staged, its
scenery realistic to great degree, and
the vivid portrayals of character and
effective scenic blending make the play
one that will live for years. All the
favorites of the famous all star cast are
still with the company.
