Jackson by No Means
Lacking in Education
John Qulncy Adams declined to at
tend the ceremonies ut Harvard col
lege In 1833 when the honorary de
gree of doctor of laws was conferred
upon Andrew Jackson, then President
of the United States.
Ills reason, according to his diary,
was that "as an affectionate child of
our alma mater, I would not be pres
ent to witness her disgrace In con
ferring her highest literary honors
upon a barbarian who could not write
a sentence of grammar and hardly
could spell his own name."
Adams' estimate of Jackson hns
been challenged liy Dr. Archibald Hen
derson, who tells In the ltaleigh (N.
| C.) News and Observer, the result of
liis exhaustive researches regarding
Jackson's early life. He finds that
I Jackson, as a boy, received a better
education than the average child of his
| station in life.
Later he attended Waxhaw academy.
He continued his studies in that part
of Carolina known then as New Ac
quisition. An account of the life of
Itev. Francis Cummins, once a tcacher
at Bethel, S. C., shows that Jackson
was one of his pupils and there Is
evidence that for a short time Jackson
attended Queen's museum in Char
lotte, N. C.
Visitor Surely Had
Impressed Small Boy
There was great excitement In the
Jones home oat on Long Island. A
real lord was paying them a visit,
lie was now sitting at the dinner table
and Mrs. Jones lluttered as she urged
my lord to eat this and that.
Mr. Jones, swollen with a sense of
the great honor bestowed upon his
household, began each sentence with
lord and ended it the same way with
a worshipful not to say reverential,
air.
As a special privilege?thinking that
he might talk about it in his mliturer
years?little "NVillie Jones, aged five,
had been permitted to attend the func
tion on condition that he refrain from
talking unless spoken to. Mindful of
this pledge, the little fellow sat In
silence, his large round eyes fixed
In a stnre upon the face and form of
the stranger.
Hut when he saw the visitor's eye
roaming hither and yon across the
laden table as though seeking some
thing, an innate sense of hospitality
moved him to speak.
"Mom! Oil, mom!" said Willie.
"What Is It, Willie?" asked the
mother.
"God wants a pickle."?Everybody's

Gestures Tell More
Than Spoken Words
It Is one of the most difficult things
in the world to act a lie. Gesture Is,
In fact, far more revealing?and far
more truthful than speech. Compar
atively few persons possess complete
control of this "language of the body."
Neither a golden tongue nor a voice
thrilling with passion Is any match
for a contradicting gesture or glance.
Scientific study of gestures has
shown that they fall naturally into
two classes?acceptance or rejection.
Almost every gesture of which we
are capable belongs to one or other of
these classes, for, in truth, the lan
guage of gesture Is much simpler than
the language of the lips. Upward
movements of the head, hands, arms
or eyelids belong to the former clnss,
and downward movements to the lat
ter. There are few exceptions to this,
but they only prove the rule. For
example, there is a way of raising the
eyebrows that expresses a sneer, but
then a sneer is deliberate, whereas
the gestures that are really tell-tale
?re always made without deliberation.
Prophetic Plant
A plant which is said to b? able to>
predict earthquakes and volcanic erup
tions bears the seleutlflc name of
Abrus precatorlus. It is a native of
Cuba, has no flowers, and consists of
a long stalk from which branch nu
merous twigs containing rows of dell*
cate-looking leaves. The leaves fre
quently change color or close, while]
the twigs bend themselves Into curl-1
ous positions. I
This plant is highly sensitive to.'
electric and magnetic influences, and:
by being able to Interpret the move
ments of the plant in response to elec
tric currents the scientist Is enabled
to predict great convulsions of nature..
Flower* and Coin9
Plenty of money has always gone
Into floral exhibitions, and this is lit
erally true In England, where a florist
has succeeded in getting delicate tints
with the aid of silver coins. He drops
sliver coins In water In which the flow
ers are standing. Silver hydroxide Is
formed and the action of the chemical
changes the natural color of the blos
poms, giving them shadings not pos
sible under natural conditions. After
the coloring has proceeded to a satisfac
tory degree, the coins are removed and
a few crumbs of slaked llxne or mortar
are added to tlx tl?e tint
Nurich's Great Idea
"Now let's see about this portrait
you're to make of my wife," said Nu
rlcli. "Water colors rub out easily,
don't tliey?"
"Oh, yes," said D'Auber; "It must
be In oil?"
"Walt a minute. Just make the
head and neck In oil and the dresa la
water color. Then It'll be easy to
bring It up to date every time the style
changes."
Two Viewpoint*
Sometimes the man who Insists hla
wife Is his "right hand" never lets
his right hand know what his left
does. Such consideration may be
prompted by the best of motives, and
then again by another reason.?Grit.
Great Engineering Feat
The construction of 600 miles of the
Canadian Pacific railway through the
Rocky mountains In British Columbia
constituted an exceedingly difficult en
gineering feat. The syndicate build
ing the road actually constructed the
line from Montreal to Calgary, 1001
miles from tlie mountains, before an
available route through the ranges
was discovered. The men who over
came the multitudinous engineering
problems of those 600 miles of moun
tain construction erected a monument
to themselves for all time. Before the
work was started, the syndicate was
granted terms considered over-gener
ous by political opponents of the gov
ernment and there was much opposi
tion to the project One statesman
predicted that the road never would
earn enough to pay for axle grease.-?

Worship Monkey God
In many of the central Indian states
the princes, on succession, have th-lr
foreheads marked In blood from the
thumb or toe of a Bhll, or bown>an.
They believe this Is a mark of Bhll
allegiance, but It more probably is a
relic of days when the tribe was In
power in India, says a bulletin from
the National Geographic society. They
have binding oaths, the most sacred j
being that sworn by a dog, the Bhll'
praying that the curse of a dog may
fall upon him who breaks his word.
For centuries Ilanuman, the monkey
god, has been the chief divinity of
these people. Offerings also are made
to the much-feared goddess of small
pox and stone worship Is still found
among them.
