Andrew Jackson,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
Presbyterian preacher, the Rev. DIR.
David Humphreys, taught in the Wax
haw settlement. He appears to have
been going to this higher school in the
spring OF 1880. when the inroad of Tar
Teton created 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 at
Charlotte a couple of terms, but the
time is not definitely known.
As to education. therefore, 1t may be
safely stated that Andrew Jackson en-
joyed much more than the ordinary adj
vantage of backwoods boys of his
time. At the age of ten he had become
so good n reader that he was often
chosen to read the newspaper TO the
assembled neighbors, and he remem-

Lead Workers.

1t is said that lead working dis
figures the human body more than
any other kind of work. In this
industry it is inevitable that sooner
or later the workers must succumb
to lead poisoning, and there would
appear to be no part of the body
that the poisonous fumes and float
ing particles which permeate the
atmosphere of the workshops do
not affect. The complexion takes
on CHASTITY, corpselike pallor, the
gums turn blue, the teeth decay
rapidly and fall out, and the eye
lids are hideously infamed. A
scratch or an abrasion of the skin
becomes an unbeatable sore. Later
on, when nerves and muscles be-
come affected by the poison in the
blood, the eyeballs are drawn into
oblique positions and take on a dim
and bleared appearance. The joints,
especially the knee and the wrist,
become semiparalyzed, and the
whole form is gradually bent and
contorted.

A ROYAL FAD FOR JEWELS.
Louis XIV. and the Famous Crown of
Aerippina.

Louis XIV. and the famous Grown or
Agrippina.
Louis XIV. had an unconquer-
able passion for jewels, and his most
valued possession was the famous
crown of Agrippina, which was com
posed of eight tiers of immense
brilliants in a transparent setting.
He kept the most precious of the
crown jewels in his private cabinet
in order that he might admire and
examine them at his ease, an occu-
patton in which he took much de
light. Nor did he ever hear of a
gem of great value either in Asia,
Europe or any other country with
out making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure the prize.
At an entertainment given by
Louis to the Princess of Modena it
happened that the conversation
turned on the fashions and designs
of jewelry, which prompted the
Marquis de Dangean, who prided
himself on his antiquarian knowl-
edge, to observe that it was in the
time of Nero that the imperial
crown was first arched, whereupon
Louis remarked that he possessed
one himself and that the Marchion-
ess de Montespan would produce it
for him.
When the sparkling circlet was
brought forth it excited universal
admiration, but when the king OBJ
tanned a close look at it he ex-
claimed to the marchioness: GLOW
is this, madame? This is no longer
my crown of Agrippinal All the
stones have been changed"
The setting was intact, but the
brilliants had been replaced by
paste. When the mystery was
solved it was proved that the maker
of the casllet which held the crown
had pretended an attachment for
one of the waiting women of the
Marchioness de Montespan, who
during his visits, having free access
to where the crown of Agrippina
was kept, had substituted mock dia-
monds for the true ones. He was
convicted and hanged, upon which
occasion Louis remarked to the
duchess, ''He has at least left us
the setting, but Cromwell would
have seized it whole" Sunday
