EQUlvOCATION.
The Amenities Of Life aud the Gem
tie Art OF Lying.

Very few OF us, indeed, are exempt
from the charge OF direct lying. Not
10 mention the strategic lies told TO
enemies in time OF war, 10 criminals, to
sick persons and lunatics, as 10 which
pages upon pages of casuistry appear
In the older works on moral science,
there are what may be termed the lies
lubricant, wrung from Us by etiquette
and good breeding. II the amenities
OF life were not preserved through the
gentle art Of lying society could scarce
ly~ continue as happy family; we
should all have TO live in separate
cages. The best of us will tell direct
lies on trivialities where politeness Is
imperative. Wherever practicable. how.
ever, the spirit of advocacy prevails.
We say whatever we can truthfully,
and tactfully pause while the hearers
self love and imagination fill out Il
generally agreeable impression. Fam
lily relationships, even more markedly
than business or social relations, ex-
emplfy the universal attitude OF advo'
cacy. Mr.. Roundabout says: go to
Browns house and tell Mrs. Brown
and the young ladies what you think
Of him and see what welcome you
will get. In like manner. let him come
TO your house and tell your good lady
his candid opinion OF you and see how
she will receive him" No one save
an unspeakable cad would speak slight
ingly OF husband 10 his wife; no one
save an unspeakable cad would toll
crate sighting language in his pres
ence concerning his wife Such is the
conventional law as 10 spouses, par
ents, children, blood relations In gen
eral, even intimate friends.-Wilbur

The person who settles matter and

THE MEERSCHAUM PIPE.
IL Was Invented by KnvoI kowntes.
"a Pesth ShOemakcv.


Kavol Kowates, u Pesth shoemaker,
invented the meerschaum pipe. He
died in l764. A large piece OF meer-
schaum was brought to Pesth by
Count Andrassy In 1923. II had been
given to the count In Turkey. He
fetched IL home because, as piece
OF white clay Of extraordinarily light
specific gravity, 1t pleased him.
Kavol Kowates was noted in Pesth
for his skill in carving and Count
Andrassy took his chunk OF light white
clay to him and said:
Make, fellow, something pretty out
of this"
The ingenious Kavol, n great smok-
er, thought that the porousness OF the
white clay adapted 1T well for pipes,
and accordingly he made two from IT,
one for himself and one for Count
Andrassy.
The pipes were charming, and they
smoked superbly. The fame OF them
spread. In course OF time meerschaum
mining and mcerschaum pipe making
became two OF the recognized Indus
tries OF the world.
The original Kavol Kowates pipe, the
worlds first meerschaum, Ia still pre-
served In the Pesth museum.

JACKSON NOT POOR.
The Great Statesman Had Very Many
Early Advantages.

Verify we must abandon the belief
that Andrew Jackson belonged 10 the
class of American youths who rode to
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help of family and
friends.
Never did he taste the bitter cup OF
physical want, Of hunger and cold, of
helpless, spirit breaking poverty.
Never was he without home and loyal
friends and suiiicency Of the com
forts of life. Never was il his lot to
suffer that humiliation, that mortifi-
cation, that inward bleeding wound
which the proud nature writhes under
when there is no money In the pocket,
no change of clothing for the body, no
welcome light in any window In oil
the world as the harassed day draws
TO its end and the wretched night
comes on.
Poverty! Why, Andrew Jackson
never In his whole life had n genuine
taste Of what the cruel word really
means.
Few men have been more greatly In
debted to the intelligent affection OF
self sacrificing mother. Few sons Of
poor parents have had such advan-
tages as were his lot, and few lads OF
poor parents did such n scanty amount
Of manual labor. Compared to the
rugged. self taught youth of Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman, Abraham
Lincoln. Andrew Johnson, Sam Hous
ton, Francis Marion and Nathaniel
Greene, the bOyhood Of Andrew Jack
son almost assumes the appearance Of
having been cast upon "fowery beds
Of ease. ."-Watson's Magazine.

He said:

"Sip and taste all liquids that have

Rapid Growing Fungus.

In "Recollections Of Happy Life"
Miss North describes many OF her
young enthusiasms and among others
that of collecting and painting English
fungi. On one outing, she says, ! came
upon fungus about the size Of large
turkeys egg. Eager to see II develop,
took il up carefully and carried 1t
home put II under a tumbler on
the window sill Of my bedroom at
night. At daylight was awakened
by horrible crash OF splinterng
glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen
TO the floor and broken 10 bits The
fungus was standing five inches tall,
having hatched itself free from It's re-
strainlng eggllke shell and In grow
Ing had raised the tumbler and tilted
II sidewise until II fell over and TO the
floor. The fungus had horrible smell,
and soon swarm Of flies were hover.

Three Sentiments.

Prince Bismarck was once asked by
Count Enzcnberg, formerly Hessian
envoy at Paris, 10 write something In
his album. The page on which he had
20 write contained the autographs OF
Guzot and Theirs. The former had
written: "I have learned In my long
life two rules Of prudence. The first Is
TO forgive much; the second IL never 10
forget" Under this Theirs had said,
"a little forgetting would not detract
from the sincerity Of the forgiveness"
Prince Bismarck added, "As for me, /
have learned 10 forget much and to ask
TO be forgiven much"

How q Famous English AuthoreOs

Mary Russell Milford. the English
authoress, when a child won a fortune
In lottery. Her works comprise
poems, dramas, tales and descriptive

notable run on the stage. But IL is her
tales and sketches, thrown of appar-
emily With little effort, but full of grace
and charm, that have given her lasting
fame. The stsry of the lottery is quite
romantic. The family were In sore
straits and had come UP To dingy lpdg-
ings In London. One day-her tenth
birthday, as IL happencd-Miss Milford
and her father were walking about
London. when he took her into an office
where an Irish lottery was soon 10 be
drawn. Pointing TO some bits of print
ed paper (whose significance she had no
idea Of that lay upon the counter he
asked her TO choose the number she
liked best as a birthday present. She
selected No. 2224. Not being n whole
ticket, another number was suggested,
but she firmly stuck To her first choice,
pointing out that the figures cast up
20 ten, the number Of her years. The
office being able TO complete the ticket,
the whole of IL was purchased. Time
passed on, and one Sunday morning
while preparing for church the clerk OF
