Mrs. Jackson's mother was Mary

sister of Gen. w. A. Graham, who was
once secretary of the navy.
Mrs. Jackson was one of ten chill

She spent much of her early life in
Washington with her uncle, Gen.
Graham. While on visit to Lexing,
ton, Va, she met her future husband
then Prof. T. j. Jackson, whom she
married in July, 1857. Gen. Jackson
died in 1868, May 10, and left his
widow and one child, a girl, Julia
who was but few months old. The
two and the skillful old nurse Hetty
returned to the Morrison home in
Lincoln county, where they lived a

Mrs. Jackson's Charlotte home is

However, it seldom falls to the lot of
landsmen to see a combat between the
largest inhabitants of the sea, and
many a sailor has spent his life on
salt water without chance to see such
a sight.
within 200 yards of the combat, and
some of the other boats ventured even
nearer, or the fish in their blind fury
worked nearer them. All the time
the water was churned into foam,
and the spray was dashed high into
the air as the whale spouted or the
thrasher leaped into the air to fall
upon it's enemy. The whales efforts
were mainly directed to escape from
the constant attacks of the smaller
monsters. In his efforts to avoid the
rushes of the fox shark he would try
to sound, only to be forced back to
the surface by the thrusts of the
swordfish below. Every time he came
up he would send forth fountain of
silvery spray. The same instant a
column of water would be hurled up
wards, as if by an explosion beneath
the surface, and in the column would
appear the gray body of the fox
shark, spreading its two wing-like
fins. The shark seemed to rise fully
90 feet into the air, and, turning as a
diver would when leaping from a
springboard, would fall muzzle first
upon the back of the whale, and the
two would sink beneath the surface.
That sort of fighting went on for fully
30 minutes. The thrasher kept right
after the whale, and the swordfish
waited below until he had chance
from that vantage.
After about Is rounds of that sort
of battle, as one of the sports on
board one of the yachts put it, the
whale began to lose interest, and
seemed willing to call it draw. But
the shark was game, and kept right
after him. The whale began to lum-
Der along, not up to his speed, and it
was plain that a dead heat would sat
isfy him. But the shark was Fitz-
simmons. Finally the whale turned,
belly up, and he was done for. He
sank like foundered ship. He sim
ply could not withstand the slugging

PAYS TUITION WITH HONEY.
Young Woman Raises Bees and Is
Going to College on Their
Product

Syracuse university has student
this fall who pays for her tuition and
for all her other expenses while TAX
ing the course by her own industry
and that of the busy bees she i'm
pressed into her service curing the
summer. At the state fair recently
held she received the first prize for
bees and several prizes for honey,
says a New York exchange.
Miss Mary Mills has so swarms and
takes entire charge of them herself.
They are kept in a vineyard on her
fathers farm, not far from Syracuse,
as they can be captured more easily
on the vines than on trees when they
swarm. The working costume of the
young woman is simple, but sufficient,
consisting of denim bloomers, waist
and short skirt. The color chosen is
brown, as bees are supposed to have a
special liking for it and are less likely
to attack people who wear it. With
it she wears a farmers straw hat,
enveloped in a brown silk veil tucked
carefully into the waist of her gown.
Sometimes she wears kid gloves when
the bees are swarming, but frequent
ly works without them and is seldom
stung. One is quite safe, she says,
when perfectly calm and self-pos-
sessed but the bees are keenly alive
to nervousness and quickly resent 1t.
Miss Mills does all the carpenter
work required, extracts the honey,
much of which is sold as a sirup, and
manages the business from start to
finish. The care of her bees occupies
about three days o. the week and the
remainder of the time in summer she
devotes to jelly making and fruit
canning, in which she does brisk
"order" business. Her skill in these
branches won several prizes at the
fair.
The money earned by Miss Mills
has been saved for the study of mu-
sic, which she intends to make her
special study in college. Her business
will be continued, as it requires lit
tie time in winter, and the Saturday
holidays will enable her to do all that
is necessary.
