EQUIVOCAflON.
Tht- Amcnltio* of l.lfp and tiie On*
tie ,lti of Lying:.
Very few of us. Indeed, are exempt
from the charge of direct lying. Not
to mention the strategic lies told to
enemies in time of war, to criminals, to
sick persons mid lunatics, as to which
pages upon panes of casuistry appear
j In the older works on moral science,
there are what may be termed the lies
| lubricant, wrung from us liy etiquette
j and good breeding. If the amenities
j of life were not preserved through the
! gentle art of lying society could scarce
ly continue as a happy family; we
should all have to live in separate
cages. The best of us will tell direct
lies on trivialities where politeness Is
lmi>eratlve. Wherever practicable, how
ever. the spirit of advocacy prevails.
We say whatever we cau truthfully,
and tactfully pause while the hearer's
self love and i.nng:n.ition till out a
generally a.reea'ile i opressiou. Fam
ily relation-hips, even umre markedly
than bus!:ie s or social relations, ex
emplify tile iriivc'v::;! attitude of advo
cacy. .Mr. Kouudabout says: "Go to
Brown's house and tell Mrs. Brown
and the young ladies what you think
of him and set* what a welcome you
will get. la like manner, let him come
to your house and tell your good lady
his candid opinion of you and see bow
she will receive him." No one save
an unspeakable cad would spealf slight
ingly of a husbn.id fo his wife: 110 one |
save an unspeakable tad would tol
erate sli^btius language in his pres
ence concerning his wife. Such is the
conventional law as to spouses, par
ents. children, blood relations in gen
eral. even intimate friends.? Wilbur

! JACKSON NOT POOR.
IIikI Vcr> Many
Verily we must abandon the beliel
that Andrew .Im-ksoii belonged to the
class of American youths who rode tc
fame and fortune by their own efforts,
unaided by the help of family and
friends.
Never did lie taste the bitter cup of
physical want, of hunger and cold, of
helpless, spirit breaking poverty.
Never was lie without home and loyal
friends and a sufficiency of the com
forts of life. Never was it his lot t->
suffer that humiliation, that moi'titi
cation, that inward bleeding wound
which t lie 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 Its end and the wretched night
comes 011.
Poverty! Why. Andrew Jackson
never In his whole life had a genuine
taste of what the cruel word really
meaus.
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 nf
poor parents did such a scanty amount
of manual labor. Compared to tl.e
rugged. self tauglit youth of Benjamin
Franklin. !! *J!,erriati. Abraham

Miss North describes many of lie ?
1 voting enthusiasms and among others
j tliat of collecting and painting English
' fungi. On otto outing. she says, I came
upon a fungus about the size of a largo
turkey's egg. Eager to see It develop,
I I took it t:;? carefully and carried !t
: home. 1 put it under a tumbler on ,
| the window sill of my bedroom at I
' night. At daylight I was awakened j
! by a horrible crash of splinterins j
! glass. Behold the tumbler had fallen j
to the floor aud broken to bits TIif 1
fungus was standing five Inches tall,
having hatched itself free from Its re
straining egglike shell and in grow
ing had raised the tumbler and tilted
It sidewNe until it fell over and to l'.?e '
| floor. The fungus had a horrible smell,
| and soon a swarui of flies were hover- i
Ing over it.

I The person who settles a matter and

Iu view of the pari that electricity
plays In our modern life It is amusing
to recall that wheu Benjamin Franklin
evolve*! the lightning conductor he was 1
called to accouut by certain individuals I
for sacrilege In "attempting to divert ]
the Almighty's lightning."
Restaurant proprietors and boarding
house keepers have apparently over
looked a valuable hint which Iir. Frank
lin afforded them, as follows: He took
an ancient rooster aud killed it by a
powerful shock from one of his Ley den
jars. When subsequently the bird was
served at his table "Its ttesh was found
to be es tender as that of a young par
tridge," or so he declares. This is oue of
j the discoveries which should make the
