Andrew Jaeksen's Education.


During each winter for two or three
years after he had reached the age Of
seven Andrew Jackson was sent to the
old field school of a Mr.. Branch. After
this he attended the select school which
a Presbyterian preacher, the Rev. DR..
David Humphreys, taught in the Wax
haw settlement. He appears to have
been going to this higher school in the
spring of 1850, when the inroad Of Tar
teton created a panic in that portion of
the Carolinas. At some later period of
his youth he is said to have attended
the old Queen college or seminary ut
Charlotte a couple Of terms, but the
time is not definitely known.
AS to education, therefore, it may be
safely stated that Andrew Jackson en-
joyed much more than the ordinary ad-
vantage of q backwoods boys of his
time. At the age Of ten he had become
80 good a reader that he was often
chosen to read the newspaper to the
assembled neighbors, and he remem
bered with pride in after years that he
had thus had the honor of reading out
loud" the Declaration of Independence
upon its arrival in the Waxhaws. For
a lad Of ten this was, indeed, some
thing to remember with honest PRIDE

A Terrible Punishment,

A man suspected Of treason in Mo-
rocco was punished by having the
flesh Of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt and the whole hand
sewed up in leather. It is a common
belief that this punishment causes
modification to set in and that the
hand decomposes, but such is not the
case, for by the time the leather years
off the hand Is healed, the result being
that the hand is rendered useless and
remains closed forever. 1t is a punish
ment not often in use, but is some
times done in cases Of murder or con-
slant theft, as, without in any way in.
juring the health Of the man, it pre-
vents his committing the crime a Sec
ond time or for the hundredth time,
as the cas- may be. 1t is a punish
ment that cannot be applied except by
the sultan's acknowledgements Mag

kirhinoceros which lived in the Lon

which grew down In front Of its mouth,
so that only with difficulty could it eat

decided on amputation. The horn Of a
rhinoceros Is not a horn at all. but an
accumulation Of hair and skin which

owner of this n had a very touchy
temper and was not easily approached.
Its keeper, however, decided to try
what he could do. Fos some days it re-
quired all his skill to persuade the
beast to come to the..front Of the cage
and put it's horn through. Then for
some days he stroked the horn, much to

later it seemed to like it. When it
found he meant no harm it let him take
the horn in his left hand and then with

across it. When this had been done
some time and the rhinoceros no longer
minded it, a piece Of wood was held In

this no longer worried the animal, a

appropriation and, as far as he was
aware, it had not been considered by
the committee OF appropriations. The
bill placed a heavy burden on taxpayers

legislative Notes

The house Monday passed the Sharpe
primary election bill with several
amendments, the principalhouse amend
ment relating to the selection of a candi-
date for United States senator. The
two men receiving the highest number
of votes in either party at the primary
will be before the electors at the general
election and the mar receiving the high
est number of votes at the general cleo
ton will be the selection before the leg
islature, and the legislators must vote
as pledged under the law. The roll
call for the final passage of the primary
bill showed 70 voting aye, no nays and
Fl absent and not voting.
Senate bill No. 3o6, Simpson-Taxa-
ton of coal separate from land on coal
bearing lands. Senator Simpson calls
attention by this bill to the custom of
the Northern Pacific railroad and GER
tain large land companies of inserting a
clause in the deed for lands sold by
them by which they reclaim title to any
coal which may be found under the
surface. The senator says he and other
purchasers have offered large sums to
have this clause stricken out of their
deeds but have been unable to do So
Therefore the senator holds that here is
a tangible asset of the companies which
escapes taxation, and his bill is to
provide taxation for these unknown coal
beds to which the companies hold title.

Foods.

According to Dr., Robert Hutchinson
Of London, If at any time meat is not
available, bread, sugar and eggs will
make "a very respectable support for
the body" Sugar is an exceedingly
valuable article Of food as a source of
energy, the unfortunate thing about it
being that it contains no heterogeneous
matter. Bread, however, does contain
some; hence it balances up well when
combined with sugar. In, times Of
scarcity Of food bread and molasses is
not a half bad diet-at least it can be
relied IN to keep the body up to a fair
state of efficiency.

MARINE:


Five golfers, averaging five thousand
tons of coal for the use of the navy
here, have now made port from the
Atlantic, the British steamship High
land Monarch. arriving off port Friday
evening and entering the harbor yes
terday, being the latest arrival. With
the sixteen thousand tons on hand in
the naval sheds before November 10
when the first of the collier fleet ar
rived, there are now nearly forty-two
thousand tons of navy coal here and
about thirty thousand tons more
to come in steamships and sailing YES
sells.
The Highland Monarch was formerly
the Balmoral, but the owners, Raeburn
& Verell Co., of Glasgow, renamed
their fleet and added to it a lot of new
boats. Mr.. Reid, friend of the own
ers, is travelling as a passenger aboard
the Highland Monarch, which will
probably go hence to Melbourne for
wheat to order. She left England in
April of this year for New York with
a general cargo. Her passage from
Baltimore with $500 tons of coal for
the local naval station was made in
sixty-six days, two stops being made
for bunker coal, al St. Lucia and Mon
tevideo. The trip was without incident
except that rather nasty weather was
experienced below the equator in both
oceans. Nothing was sighted, nor was
anything heard at either coaIing port

due is the British S. S. Baron Cawdor,

PARIS, November 21.-Science has
perhaps at last solved the problem OF
making diamonds, if everything prom
ised by a discovery said to have been
made by a. hitherto unknown worker,
NJ Aristide Charette, who has pre-
scented a striking specimen to the
Academy of Science, is a fact.
1t is we'll known that M. Moissan
discovered a way of making diminu-
tive diamonds, scarcely visible to the
eye, but the process was so expensive
that it was not practical. and though
at first it was believed larger stones
might be made, these hopes were not
realized.
NJ. Moissan produced his diamond
dust by means of tremendous heat and
sudden cooling, and immense pressure.
The new process is quite different. Mr..
Charette, who is a chemist, has shown
stones of fairly good size to the
members of the Academy of Science at
their last meeting, and his method
seems to be far simpler. He explain
ed how he had obtained the results in
the following manner:
He caused a very feeble electric cur
rent to pass through liquid sulphate
of carbon, mixed with some iron, and
Theoretically sealed in a vacuum tube.
He allowed the electricity to work for
several days and in this way the iron
was transformed into sulphur, and the
carbon crystallized slowly on the sides
of the glass tube, owing to the fact
that it was unable 30 turn into carbon
oxide or carbonic acfd. for the want
of the oxygen in the air. This erys-
tallized carbon is simply diamond.
NJ. Charette presented some tubes
with the crystals inside TO the MEM
bers of the academy. and they were
found to have apparently all the hard
ness, 1uster and other qualities of the
purest natural gems, as far as could
be judged from their mere aspect.

could not shoot: The sergeant tried

was worse, if possible. than his first.
