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


 Early Advantages.
 Verify we must abandon the belief that Andrew Jackson belonged to 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. friends and a sufficlency of the com forts of life. Never was 1t his lot to suffer that humiliation, that mortil- 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 all the world as the harassed day draws to It's end and the wretched night comes on.
 Povertyl Why, Andrew Jackson taste of what the cruel word really means.
 Few men have been more greatly in- debted to the intelligent affection of a 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 a 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 Nathanael Greene, the boyhood of Andrew Jack son almost assumes the appearance of having been cast upon "howery beds of ease."-Watson's Magazine.

Rapid Growing Fungus.

In "Recollections of a Happy Lfe'' 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 a fungus about the size of large turkeys egg. Eager to see 1t develop, took 1t up carefully and carried 1t home. put 1t under a tumbler on the window sill of my bedroom at night. At daylight I was awakened by a horrible crash of splintering glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen to the floor and broken to bits. The fungus was standing five inches tall, having matched itself free from It's re- stralning egglike shell and in grow Ing had raised the tumbler and tilted 1t sidewlse until 1t fell over and to the floor. The fungus had horrible smell, and soon swarm of flies were hover ing over 1t.

A mother should come to her childs aid at this critical time and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will prepare the system for the coming change and start this try ing period in young girls life without pain or irregularities.
 Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
 "I want to tell you that am enjoying bet ter health than have for years, and owe 1t all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound.
 "When fourteen years of age suffered al- most constant pain, and for two or three wears had soreness and pain in my side, headaches and was dizzy and nervous, and doctors all failed to help me.
 "Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended, and after taking 1t my health began to improve rapidly, and think it saved my life sincerely hope my experi= ence will be a help to other girls who are pass ing from girlhood to womanhood, for know your Compound will do as much for them"
 If you know of any young girl who is sick and needs motherly advice ask her to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass, and she will receive free advice which will put her on the right road to E. strong. healthy and happy womanhood, Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-in-lRw of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge.

A%A~~Hins fc 9he assaFs.

It is specially needful to daily re- move the wax at the entrance of the ear, or it will harden and become most unsightly. This wax must never be re- moved by a sharp instrument, or the delicate membrane inside the ears will be injured, and inflammation may en- sue, which might eventually cause deafness. If the ears irritate gently rub them with the fingers. Do not all low anything else to be used. Warm water is better to use to wash them with than cold, and unscented soap Is preferable to scented. If the wax be- comes very hard, it can be easily sof- tened by pouring in a few drops of tepid olive oil at night. Then plug the ear with cotton wool and sleep with that ear uppermost. In the morning gently syringe it out with soap and warm water, using an ear syringe for the purpose. If you cannot get pure olive oil warmed glycerin will answer the purpose equally well.

lting their common friend at whose house Philip first met her. They fell deeply in love with each othr.r, Philip asked Sallie to marry him, and she went home to tell her father about it. Soon afterward Philip was invited to dine at Judge Norton's house in Or ange.
 The lovers had a few minutes talk before dinner.
 Father says you won't be able to support wife for years," said Sallie sadly.
 "We are young enough to wait''-
 But he says in New York without a pull young man isn't likely to sue ceed ever.''
 Doesn't he want young partner to relieve him of the petty details?"
 "Well, you see, there's my brother Sam-he's a sophomore and will be graduated in four years, if he's drop ped only twice more."
 They found the judge and his son waiting for them in the dining room, After greeting Philip cordially Sam in- troduced him to his father, and, to his blank dismay, Philip found himself shaking hands with-the duffer!
 There was not, however, the faintest gleam of recognition in the judges eye. Philip thanked heaven he had grown a Vandyke beard since their last meet ing. At the end of the dinner Sam and Sallie left Philip to speak his piece to their father.
 "Judge Norton, I want to marry your daughter" he said.
 "How do you propose to support q wife?'' inquired the judge,
 "I shall work for her.
 ITO all appearance" interrupted the judge, you are without influence, for tune or the semblance of a clientele. No, young man. Go back to the farm and play tiddlywinks,
 So the old duffer had known him after all.
 By the bye" said Philip, after an in- stant's hesitation, Il was telling Sam about our game of golf"
 "You held me up to ridicule before my son.
 Ut was your moving the ball that i'm CooCN HILL. AAC SoAO Ac WOulO OCSptSG man who did that, even if it were his own father"
 "You took mean advantage of me as if a man is ever expected to play fair when he is off for relaxation in the spmmer!' The judge was greatly agi- tated. T would have given anything to prevent having Sam told that" he continued. '"The effort of my life has been to inspire him with absolute con- fdence.'
 ''Rut, don't you see, couldn't tell Sam the mans name? I didn't know it myself till tonight"
 Upon my word, I forgot thaty' ex- claimed the judge, immensely relieved.
 "How about my marrying Sallie? You said you would give anything to prevent Sam knowing you cheated at golf"
 The judge winced.
 Were all human, remember. I might be tempted to tell him the mans name yet"
 "No, no-not on any account! I'll gladly give you Sallie''-
 ""To have and to hold'-my tongue from this day forward,'" interrupted Philip, laughing.
