A HERO has fallen. John A. Logan has
Joined the silent majority. Physical bravery
does not alone constitute hero. Gen.
Logan possessed that In high degree, but
he had that higher bravery which 1t takes
to make mems lives heroic. He had the
bravery which enabled him to do right, or
what he believed TO be right, without regard
to public opinion.
In public man, man like Gen. Logan,
the breath Of whose life was in the favor OF
the people, this kind OF bravery, OF hero
ism, was rare indeed. The great teacher,
Socrates-greater than any other teacher
who was mere man-pOssessed II when he
drank the cup of hemlock rather than re-
cant what he had said. Gallileo possessed
II when, limping from "the boot" he said,
''the earth does move" There are not many
other instances.
But Gen. Logan had this kind OF bravery
He dared to do right let the consequences
be what they would, His grand, rugged
nature would not tolerate wrong or deceit.
And his intuitive knowledge of what was
right was so great that he was hardly ever
mistaken as TO what he should do, as to
how other men would act, or in Judging
those with whom he was thrown In contact.
Thus knowing the rIghthe dared to do It,
without care as to the result
Such men grow upon the people as John
Logan was growing when in the prime OF
his life he passed away.
True 10 his friends as he was firm In his
convictions, with a mind capable of grasp
ing the great questions Of the day, Gen.
Logan was (how great meaning to that
little word } one of the men to whom the
American people could safely look for
leadership, because they could rely upon
his honesty and eanestness. For next to
his honesty was his earnestness.
Once satisfied that he was right, Gen.
Logan was as determined in his course as
man could be. No obstacles turned him
aside, no sophisms blinded his judgment,
no pleading changed him. His course was
onward.
Such are the materials of which heroes
are made, and, we repeat, "a hero has
fallen.n

IT said of Mr.. Henry w, Grady that on
the day lie was to speak at a New England

he replied:
"'TEe Lord only knows. ! have thought Of a
thousand things to say five hundred Of which
II say they will murder me when get back
home, and If say the other five hundred they
will murder me at the banquet"
On this happy occasion Mr.. Grady must
have been situated very much as Webster
was when he made his immortal effort In
reply TO Hayne. 81 relt,n said the "God-
like Daniel,n referring to that speech, "as
II all the good things had ever thought, or
felt, or heard of were floating in panorama
over my head, and had but TO reach up,

Grady's speech was the great oratorlcal
event OF the tlmes-a magnificent triumph,
securing for him an ovation in Boston and

and the position she has so grandly filled.

AFRICAN TELEGRAPHI
Scientific AmCTiCdR.


The system of sound telegraphy used by
the people living on the border Of the gull
of Guinea, West Africa, is of intense inter
est rs primitive solution of the problem
of communication through short distances.
The instrument is made as follows:
Take log of wood about two fleet long
and about n FOOT in diameter.
Plane off one side lOngitudinally to q
surface four or five inches wide. In the
centre of this surface mark off an clonga-
ted and somewhat distorted Greek cross.
The longer arms are placed lOngitudinally,
and occupy about One-third of the plane
surface. The transverse arms are three
times as broad, and extend entirely across
this surface.
The natives dig out the wood within the
outline of the cross, and from there gradu-
nlly hollow out the whole log. The sides,
beginning at the centre, are trimmed of
Materially toward the ends, which are
rounded off.
The instrument is now ready. 1t will
be perceived that by the methods above
described we have a hollow drum with

HINTS TO SUMMER BOARDERs.
Useful Advice to City Folks Who Go Into

City people who go into the country to
board on q farm during part of the heated
term will save themselves considerable
trouble and some remOrse by taking these
brief and hastily evolved hints at their
face value:
Don't expect the earth; you can only
have very small portion of it for So per
week
Don't expect view from your window
that takes in green hillside with brows-
ing lambs, lake with waterfowl, groves
and flowers, and clear sunset every day
during your stay. These things come high,
save in advertisements for summer boarders.
Look out upon the patient farm-boy bug
ging the pOtatoe vines and be content,
Don't ask the farmer why he puts his
little peaches near the bottom of the has
ket and the big ones on top, and similar
foolish questions, and thus display your

total IGNORANCE of agricultural and horti-
cultural pursuits, and win the farmers
honest and hearty contempt
Don't go near the moving machine when
il is in motion. You may safely sat on the
fence surrounding the field in which it Is
singing its merry song but that viii be
near enough. You might go behind q
moving machine when it Is in complete
repose. but if should start, you should start
also. and YOU should not stop until you
reach the fence.
Don't monkey with the straw-cutter OF
try to climb over the barbed wire fence
inst 10 show the congregation how smart
Won are. Itrequires long practice to climb
\ barbed wire fence, and not be sorry for II
afterwards. ~
In busy times you may take OFF your
coat and 20 out with the hands for hall q
dav. Just to give yourself an appetite.
That will please the farmer, notwithstand-
inc your increased appetite; but don't get
into the habit of that sort OF thing.
Eyince an interest in live stock, but
don't saw YOU would like TO learn to milk
a COW. You might in this way, greatly
please the farmer and his wife; but the
cow would probably kick you in the stom-
acb or the fence-corner, at the first motion,
and you would have to buy a new milk
pail.
Praise the apple dumplings, say the
farm is the best kept you ever saw, kiss the
baby and pet the dog, and thus make your
self solid with the whole family at the very
outset.
If You 90 walking in the woods and see
q large hornets nest hanging from a low
limb, don't become infatuated with 1t. 1t
a desire to pull it and take it home to show
il to the other bOarders springs up in your
bosom, try to repress it. Hornets are a
little particular, and do not like to have
their nests shown around among curious
city people while they are using 1t, ana IL
they will show their disapprobation of your
