The Making of Bells.

Only two metals are now used in large bells, tin ard copper. The Belgians use 23 to 30 per cent. of tin ; the Eng fish lean to more tin, 25 to 3l per cent. Tin makes the bell sound bright, but it also makes it brittle, and the reason why the English can afford to put in more of this brittle element is because they make their bells thicker, as a rule. Bells vary from 1.15 to 1-12 of the diam eter at the thickest part of the sound bow, and the height is commonly about 12 times the thickness. English tells are, roughly, as broad as they are loog, if you measure diameter from outside rim to rim, and length from rim to top of canon. But in truth, the thickness of the bell at different levels is all-im- portant. The thickness near the top is as important as that of the sound-bow, and the diameter of the crown as critical dimension as that of the rim. The deep, rich tone Gin proportion to size) of the smaller Belgian bells is probably largely due to the wide top-diameter, combined with the thinness in certain portions of the sides halfway down. The way in which altering the thickness affects the tone, and even the pitch of Q bell, is shown by the fact that sha, p bell can be Aattened by shaving off the metal inside above the sound bow.

A Prudent Woman.

A prudent wife picks up the pieces and stores them in her apron pocket when her lord and master tears up his last will and testament. A gentleman of means died in London on April in a state of madness, the result of frequent and violent attacks of delirium tremens. In one of these attacks, while destroying his furniture, articles of vertu, and some valuable documents, in 8 moment, and before his hand could be arrested, he tore his will into small pieces and scattered them on the floor of his room. His wife who was present at the time, carefully collected the scraps, preserved them, and produced them for probate after his death, pasted in proper order upon back ground of paper. A medical certificate to the effect that at the time when this act was done the testator was suffering from delirium was read, and the court decided to admit the will to probate.

!" Just Like a Boy"

Every well-regulated family should have boy about fourteen years old, 8 lawn-mower, and grass enough to set a boy to work for half an hour after school. It is an interesting study to see boy showing a lawn-mower around. Off comes coat, vest and hat as he goes out, and he wildly realizes that Presl- dent Hayes got his first start by cutting half an acre of grass before breakfast and it was cut mighty poorly at that. No boy can strike 8 bee-line with 8 mower. He starts out to do it, but he sees boy on stilts up the street and he stops to rest. He has just started off again when he sees boy with ball down the street, and it is also time to oil the mower. He has just braced him. self for & new effort when stray dog comes trotting along, and it is that boys duty to watch that dog out of sight. He turns and shoves the mower along for about ten feet and then he must have a drink of water. If the old gent is at home boy can drink gallon of water and get back to his work in about twenty minutes, but all depends on circum- stances. If he gets back he stands and wonders whether it is right or left handed mower, and why it wasn't rigged to run itself.
 If rap on the window admonishes the boy that procrastination is the thief of time, he buckles right down to busi- ness and rushes the mower over four brick bats, hoop and several coal clinkers, and then comes an examina- tion of the knives. Let boy get in the shade with good brace for his back, and he can examine 8 lawn-mower from basement to garrett in about half an hour. At the end of the second cut across the sward it is boys duty to scan the heavens and see if any kites are up.
 A good boy can do this in about fifteen minutes, and he can put in ten more looking across the street at a whitewashed fence and a cat. By this time he feels hungry, and when he has hunted the house over for cake it is high time to go around the corner and see if that Smith boy has got that bird-rrap finished.-Detroit Free Press.

Spoiled Q Sermon.

The Rev. Dr. Fletcher has been visit ing his son, Joe Fletcher, of West Troy, for some days, who intends giving his father golden wedding on Wednesday of this week. A young gentleman from Saratoga is also a guest at the house of MT. Fletcher. On Sunday morning MT. Joe Fletcher took the shoes of his guests and gave them to bootblack to polish, and directed him to leave them in the doorway of his house when he had fin ished them. This the boy did, and was observed by practical joker, who thought the shoes belonged to MT. Joe Fletcher or one of his clerks. Quickly the joker stole across the street and grabbed the shoes, which he took in a store close at hand. Several gentlemen who were in the store saw the move ment, and, supposing that MT. Fletcher, who came to the door just after the young man appropriated the shoes, had seen him, forgot all about the matter, and locked the store and went away. The reverend D. D. began to get ner- vous and asked for his shoes, and his son went to the door, but could not fl i'd them. Inquiries were made in the vi- cinity, but the shoes were not forthcom- ing. The result was that the old gentle man had to stay at home, and the peo- pie attending the Baptist Church had another text for sermon. The young man from Saratoga came to Troy, where he purchased cheap pair, and so man. aged to get about. Press.

Adulterated Food and Drink.

How is it possible that any one should live to be seventy years old? Man at his birth has to go through all the dis eases incident to childhood. He is for tunate if he is not born monster, or dwarf capable of being hidden in hat. If he is brought into the world with a sound mind, in sound body, happy is he. If he does not imbibe gall and bit terness with his mothers milk, verify he hath wise mother-yes, and self governed one. Then he has got 10 run the gauntlet of all the vices and tempta- tions that beset a youth. If finally he mar1ies, the marriage is as likely as not to prove disastrous, and he runs the risk of becoming the parent of children who will grow up into curses instead of blessings. If he enters into business there are ninety nine chances in one hundred against his permanent success. He will probably prove 0 failure. Add to this the danger of an epidemic, an earthquake, cyclone. Have we done ? By no means. Statistics show that men and women, high and low, rich and poor. live on bad food and adulteratiors. The cattle upon which they feed are diseased, the vegetables rotten, the tea and coffee adulterated and the liquors rank poi son. Such are the statements set be- fore us by the sifters of the events of the hour.
 Take the single fact-if it be fact - that civilized man is compelled to live on adulteration 1n tea, coffee and grain; that the meat he devours is often dis eased, and that the liquors are often polsons of the most deletelious descrip- tion, and never entirely genuine. These things alone, it would be thought, are quite sufficient to ruin his stomach, cre- ate cureless digestion and compel him to end his days early and in gloom. That would be the rightful deduction from such terrible premises. On the contrary, we find millions of people liv- ing to ripe maturity-say fifty or sixty and millions more coaxing themselves along, ailing, it is true, but not without fair share of enjoyment. We are, therefore, pushed on to the il evitable deduction that food and drink are not adulterated to the frightful extent claim ed for them, or that the adulterations do not produce that forlorn effect upon the human constitution which chemists and physioiang state they ought to dos

Cadet Life at West Point.

The daily routine of life with the cadets begins with a wild spring from
 bed at five o'clock in the morning at the
 summons of the morning gun and the
 simultaneous tap of the drums that call
 to the reveille roll call. The roll call
 occupies only few minutes, as the or
 derly sergeant of each company has com
 mitted to memory the list of names so
 as to be able thus quickly to run through
 it. At half-past five o'clock the. cadet
 captains and ieutenants make an in-
 spection of the rooms in their respective sub divisions. As the regulations pro
 hibit any cadet from having "a waiter,
 horse or dog," he must perform all the sweeping, folding of bedding, etc., himself. Nothing now interrupts study until the drum for breakfast roll call at seven o'clock, except the surgeons call beaten at half-past six o'clock, when those who are sick repair to tue hospital to receive their requisite medical attend ance and to be excused by the surgeon from the performance of such academic or military duty as they are by reason of such sickness incompetent to perform. After the breakfast roll call the battalion is marched by the senior cadet captain in column of platoons or companies to the mess hall, whence it returns after the lapse of about twenty five minutes. Guard mounting occupies the time from half past seven till eight o'clock, which is season of recreation to those who are neither marching on guard nol marching of. At eight o'clock the bugle calls to quarters, from which there is nc release for five hours. All those sec
 tions of every class that recite at thlt
 hour now assemble at the class parade
 where the rolls are under the direction
 are marched to the recitation rooms by
 the section marchers, who report to thu
 instructor, as they have already done tx
 the officer of the day, the result of thu
 roll call. At half-past nine the bugl
 recalls these and summons the othe
 half of the entire corps to the class ps ) rade. These return at eleven, and thel ) the reeitations in all the most importau studies are finished for the day. Tn } signal for dinner roll call is beaten {
 one P. M., and an hour is allowed fo the meal and for recreation. At two th recitaticns begin again, and at four th F academic building is deserted. Tn , recitations from eleven to one and frol } two to four, being less important, onl ) occupy an hour each. There is now r long release from quarters. A drill O ] cupies about an hour and half, seaso ] of recreation ensues and dress parat n takes place at sundown. Supper su

Tourists, emigrants andSmariners find that Hostetterss Stomach Bitters Is a medicinal safeguard against unhealthful influences, up- onwliich they can implicitly rely, since it pre- vents the effects that an unhealthy climate, vitiated atmosphere, unaccustomed or un- wholesome diet, bad weather, or other condi- tions unfavorable to health, would otherwise produce. On long voyages, or journeys by land in attitudes adjacent to the equator, it is especially useful as a preventive of the febrile complaints and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, which are apt to attack natives of the temperate zones sojourning or travelling in such regions, and is an excellent protection against the influence of extreme cold, sudden changes of temperature, exposure to damp, or extreme fatigue. It not only prevt nts inter- mittent and remittent fever, and other diseases of malarial type, but eradicates them, fact which has. been notorious for years past in North and South America, Mexico, the West Indies Australia and other countries.

The Kansas Cyclone.

It is not often that we read of such a wild outburst of the forces of nature as that which occurred in Kansas. The terrible storm, with irresistible violence, swept away substantial buildings as if they had been the toy structures of the nursery. The trunks of the largest trees were broken like twigs and great sec- tions of the forest levelled for miles. Animals were caught up and whirled into the air. Onward the tornado marched, and nothing which it encoun- tered could resist it's fury. Think of g house actually drawn into the vortex of the cloud, and coming down rain of fragments ! But worst of all was the cruel destruction of human life, and next to this the severe injuries inflicted upon those who survived. The number of men. women and children killed is stated at not less than fifty. These were found with their clothing stripped off, their bodies blackened, their bones broken, their forms mutilated almost past recog- | milton. Some of the instances were really tragic-in one case, a mother with five children, in another husband, wife and five children fell victims to the ele- mental fury. Whole households were swept away without a moments warning. To this must be added the great destruc- tion of property of various kinds-of houses, fences, barns and crops-the ma terial loss, it is stated, being greater than has ever before fallen upon that section of the country from the same cause.
 The scene, as it is described, must been one of fearful magnifcence. Dur. ing the progress of the tornado the dark. ened earth was illuminated by vivid flashes of lightning, the air was full o1 sulphurous smell, while the roll of the thunder was incessant. The cyclone of ten changed it's course, and seemed tt move with kind of diabolical wanton ness. At one moment enormous quanti ties of rain would descend at anothe, the lurid sun would burst through thu clouds, and throw 8 strange splendo
 over the scene of destruction. It is al
 most impossible to comprehend the fore
 of the gale. A cart and two horses wer
 carried bodily into tue air ; two freigh
 cars were lifted from the railway tracl
 and hurled distance of fifty feet. Tn ruin at particular points also proves tn force of the current and the greatness c
 the calamity. At Irving, among tn
 structures destroyed were two churches the public school house, the railway ele vator, with six or seven private res dences. There is no estimate, as yei
 given of the gross amount of materii P losses. There must be much suffering F though perhaps it is not greater than th
 local charities can relieve.
 : The Valley of the Mississippi seen , to be peculiarly liable to the visits ( 7 these fierce wind-storms, though fo tunately they rarely prove so disastror l as this Kansas cyclone. The condition 3 under which these tornadoes occur al F tolerably we'll known to physicists, ar
 even their appearance may be predicte 3 with more or less accuracy. Scienc q however, is yet unable to point out ar 3 way of preventing them or mitigatir their fury. Luckily, they are not ever. ? day occurrences, and their destructi7 l energy is usually confined to narro | limits.
