YOUNG LOGAN's RETIREMENT.
The Cadet Court martialIed for TAX ins
Liquor Into Camp.

The career of Cadet John A. Logan, Jr..
has come to sudden end at the Military
Academy. A West Point special says:-He
resigned last week to avoid expulsion, and
when last heard of he was at the Hoffman
House, New York. He was a pleasant
looking young man, about twenty years
of age, but was not at all bright. On
account OF his fathers prominence he was
favored by the officers and upper-elass men,
and he presumed ON these fayors and com
mtted offenses which could not be over
looked. He first entered the Academy in
1888, and got along very nicely. In Janu-
AIRY his eyes failed, and he went away on
sick leave, with permission to go back one
class. He returned last September, and
soon after the term began he was court
martialed for an alleged infraction of the
rules. Itwas charged that he said ''Ad-
vance, by God" instead of advance,
Corporal of the Guard" The charge
could not be proved against him, and he
was acquitted.
In October he committed what was called
a breach of confinement. and for this he
was sentenced to thirty days confinement
in the light prison. He had been there
three weeks when the officer in charge found
that Logan had gone out. The officer
waited for his return, and on searching him
found in his possession bottle of liquor
The penalty for bringing Intoxicating IL
quor into the barracks is absolute dismissal
Charges were made against Logan and he
was tried by court-martiallast week. There
was no doubt what the result would be,
and before the sentence was promulgated
he resigned and his resignation was accep-
ted
The attention of General Merritt, the
Superintendent, was called to the article
from the Baltimore San, which said that
Logan had been forced from the Academy.
General Merritt gaid:--s'It is too ridiculous
TO need denial. 1t is entirely untrue, and
do not think that General Logan believes
anything of the kind. l should prefer not
to say why Logan resigned. 1t is a matter
do not care to talk about" Others of
the officers said the accusation was absurd.
Logan was favored more than the other
cadets. He passed much of his time at
General Merritt's house, and his mother
staid there when she was at West Point.
Logan left here ON Friday last.

HOW BELLS ARE TUNED.

The first requisite is that each bell shall,
in technical TERMS be true or, in other
words, be in harmony with itself This
means that bell must yield a note the
exact pitch of which any ordinary musician
can at once determine. This tone has been
regarded as combination of several tones
which exist in every bell, and are termed
the ''octave," 'quint'' and ''tierce.' If
these three tones harmonize the bell is sup
posed to be true, the key note given is the
''consonant,' or key note. To obtain the
octave of any bell it is necessary to tap it
on the top, just at the curve. Tap it one
quarters distance from this and the quint,
or fifth of the octave results. Two quar-
tiers and half lower, we get the tierce, or
third of the octave. Tapped above the
rim where the clapper strikes, the octave,
quint and tierce sound simultaneously,
giving, as stated above, the consonant, or
key note of the bell. These three tones
are the only ones spoken of i'll any work as
belonging to bells and they are also the
only ones mentioned as test of a bell.
But since the most important note of the
bell-the ''drone" as it is called-is EN-
tirely overlooked, this test is at most only
interesting. and is not at all reliable.
The fact is that every bell gives two
prominent notes-one the key note and the
other the drone or ''hum" note, which in
foreign bells is usually an octave, and III
American bells major or minor sixth,
lower than the key note. This note always
vibrates longer than the key note and hence
the same bell at times seems to give tone
entirely distinct from the key note. That
is because at one time the key note alone
is heard CASUALLY at a considerable dstance),
while at another only the drone is heard;
and since the drone vibrates the longer, it
frequently impresses the ear, especially
when near, as the fullest dominant tore
of the bell.
The harmony of the bell, therefore. de-
ponds almost entirely upon the drone,
and the best test of bell is the impression
it gives the ear, while the fact remains that
if the drone does not harmonize with the
kew note the bell seem harsh and discordant
The only upper notes or "over tones, as
they are called, which a bell gives are the
third, octave, twelfth and fifteenth, but
harmony of the bell does not depend so
much upon these as upon the drone. This
is the essential thing. Many bells are,
however, only slightly sharp when cast,
and may be thoroughly tuned and made
harmonious by filing on the inside at the
tierce till the desired tone results. Bells
which need no filing are called maiden
BELLS" and in England, especially are very
highly priced. 1t may thus be seen what
a delicate and complex instrument the true
hall iS

LEAD PENCILS

There is no lead pencil, and there has
time when spiracle of lead, cut from the
bar or sheet. sufficed to make marks on
white paper, or some rougher abraiding
material. The name of lead pencil
came from the old notion that the pro-
ducts of the Cumberland mines. England,
were lead, instead of being plumbago, or
graphite-carbonate of iron (rather, native
carbon containing iron impurities), capa-
BILE of leaving a lead-colored mark. With
the original lead pencil or slip, and with
the earlier styles of the 'sleadH pencils
made direct from the Cumberland mine,
the wetting of the pencil was preliminary
of writing; but since it has become manu-
faeture, the lead pencil is adapted, by
numbers or letters, to each particular de-
sign. They are grades of hardness, from
the pencil that may be sharpened to a
needle point to one that makes broad
mark. Between the extremes there are a
number of gTadations that cover all the
conveniences of the lead pencil These
gradations are made by taking the original
carbonate and grinding it, and mixing it
with fine quality of clay in differing
proportions, regard being had to the use OF
pencil. The mixture is thorough, the mass
is squeezed through dies to form and size,
it is dried, and encased in its wood enve-
lope.

PERSONALITY IN HANDWRITING G.

Persons writing naturally do so with
out thought regarding the peculiar con-
struction of their writing. The hand
operates the pen as it We're automatically
through the sheer force of habit by which
all the innumerable personalities are I'M
consciously impaired in writing. Learn
ers and forgers think respecting their writ
ing, and hence the more stiff and formal
style of their work: there is wanting the
easy, graceful flow apparent in thoughtiesss
or habitual writing. Lines show more OF
nervousness and hesitancy while the whole
construction of the writing is more exact
and formal; and besides, every different
handwriting abounds i'll well-nigh number
less habitual peculiarities of which the
writer is himself unconscious, and cannot
therefore, avoid. Thus, two other instr-
mountable difficulties are placed in the way
of the forger; First, to observe and initiate
all the characteristics of his own hand;;
Habit in writing becomes so hxed ana
arbitrary (not to mention the great artistic
skill required to exactly initiate an unprac-
tical hand), that do not conceive 1t to De

TURKISH BATH FOR HORSES.
How Horses Are Treated 10 Hot Baths
for Their Health.

The Turkish bath has recently come into
rather extensive us for curing the ailments
of horses; and few private stables, as
well as several belonging to corporations,
are now fitted with complete horse-baths.
A recent number of The Builder gives the
plan of such an establishment just added
to the stables of the Great Northern Rail-
way company, " hich shows compact
group of three rooms; one, serving both as
a reception-room and as place for the final
douehe, being about fifteen feet wide and
twenty-four feet long; while the two hot
rooms, opening out of the reception-room,
are each somewhat less than twelve feet
wide by the same length as the other. Hot
air is supplied to the two smaller rooms
from a 'stokery' outside, and ventilating
shafts remove it as fast as Initiated. Both
these rooms are separated from the recep-
tion-room by double doors, TO prevent loss
of heat; and an opening, over which cur
tain is hung, connects the two.
The first warm room, a ''tepidarium, is
kept at a temperature of about 140 degrees
Fahrenheit; while the second room, s'cali-
darium, is kept at 100 or 10 degrees.
The reception-room is warmed only by the
heat which escapes from the other two.
The horses. upon treatment, are first rub

til they are accustomed to the heat, and

taken into the ''calidarium,' where they
stay until sufficient perspiration has taken
place. From this room they return directly
into the reception-room, where they are
bathed according TO the judgment Of the
attendant in charge.
As horses are naturally thin-skinned, and
liable to the disorders which proceed from
checked perspration, it may be readily
imagined that the Turkish bath. by its pow
full action in opening the pores of the skin,
might be of great use in treating them; and

has had such bath in operation for more
than eleven years. treating during that time

Sometimes when l have dropped to sleep,
Daped in a soft, luxurious gloom,
Across my drousing mind will creep
The memory of another room,
Where resinous knots in roofboards made
A frescoing of light and shade,
And signing poplars brushed their leaves
Against the humbly-sloping caves.
Again / fancy in my dreams
I'm lying in my trundle-bed
| seem to see the bare old beams
And unhewn rafters overhead:
The hornets shrill falsetto hum
hear again, and see him come
Forth from his mud walled hanging house,
Dressed in his black and yellow blouse.
There, Summer-dawns, in sleep stirred,
And wove into my fair dreams wool
The chattering of IL martin-bird,
Or lain-drops pattering on the roof;
Or, half awake and half in fear,
| saw the spider spinning near
His pretty castle, where the fly
Should come to ruin by-and-by.
And there | fashioned from my brain
Youths shining structures in the air,
l did not wholly build in vain,
For some were lasting, firm and fair;
And am one who lives to say
My life has held more gold than gray,
And that the splendor of the real
Surpassed my early dreams ideal.
But still l love TO wander back
TO that old time and that old place;
To thread my way DER Memory's track,
And catch the early mornings grace
In that quaint room beneath the rafter;
That echoed to my childish laughter;
To dream again the dreams that grew
More beautiful as they came true.

to look for employment elsewhere.
For time he improved, and did his
work as it should have been DONE but ere

dismissal from the position.
This reused him from the lethargy into
which he had fallen; and he foreswore all
allegiance with Thompson, and after an
interview with his old employers, regained
his position.
True to his vows, he performed his du-
ties with his former promptness, and after
having spent five years in Chicago, had
saved enough to marry Ada and resolved
to return to the scene of his disgrace, and
claim his promised bride.
Accordingly, he returned to the old
farmhouse, and, feeling protected by the
growth of heavy whiskers, knocked at

Mr.. Brown soon appeared, and informed
Henry that Mr.. Jamison had been dead
nearly five years, and that his daughter
was residing in Philadelphia with a
brother.
Thither then must he repair, and that

house, eagerly searching directory In
this he found the desired information. and,
encouraged by this partial success, he re-

Henry began to think that it was nearly
time his search had reached some culmina-
ton; but, thanking the lady, he started to
find the address given him. He finally
reached it, and being admitted by a SER
vant asked to see her mistress.
In another moment he stood face to face
with his long-lost Ada, and she politely en-
quired his errand.

We need not describe the scene than en-

Ada had heard Immediately of the acct
dent on the railway, and had secretly
mourned him dead, as she received no It'd
ings from him.
Shortly after this information, her father
died, and she removed to Philadelphia,
which accounted for the non-receipt of
Henry letters, and six weeks ago she had
been married to gentleman who was her
brothers partner in business.
