The Way Sailor* Ascertain How Many Knots They Are Gotnar. "How do you ascertain the speed of a ship?" Is a question frequently ad dressed to naval men, and an explana tion will therefore probably b.e of in terest to many readers. There aro sev eral methods, says Army and Navy Il lustrated. the commonest and most an cient being by the use of the log. This Instrument consists of three parts, the; logship, the line and the marks. The logship is a piece of wood about halt an inch thick and shaped like a quad rant, with a piece of lead let in rdund the circular edge to make it float per pendicularly in the water. It is by linos at each angle, the three lineal being joined together abont two feeti from the logship. Two of the lines are securely fixed to the ship, and the other has a bone peg at the end, being pushed into a hole In the ship, temporarily fastens It there. From the point of Juncture of the tree lines a sufficient length is meas ured, generally about 100 feet, to take the logship well clear of the ship's wash. This is called the "stray line" and is marked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 3 inches and the line marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet 3 Inches Is measured off and marked with two knots, then another space the same length and marked with three knots. Half way between each batch of knots one single knot Is made. The log line is then ready for use. The space between the knots is found from the simple little rule of three sum—as 3,000 seconds (number of sec onds In an hour) Is to twenty-eight sec onds (length of sandglass), so are 0.080 feet (number of feet In a nautical mile) to the length of line required, which works out to 47 feet 3 Inches. To use -the log four persons are re quired—two men to hold the reel on which the line is wound, the quarter master to hold the glass and the mid shipman of the watch to heave the log. The last named puts the peg firmly In the logship and then gathers three or four coils of line In his hand, sufficient to admit of the logship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks, "Clear glass, quartermaster?" "Clear glass, sir," comes the reply, and overboard go the logship and line, the reel rap- Idly revolving. Presently the middy feels the piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives the or der, "Turn." The quartermaster turns the glass and watches the sand, while one "reeler" holds well over his head, so as to give the line fair play. When the sand has run out, "Stop!" cries the quartermaster. The midshipman grasps the line, assisted by the other "reeler," and looks for the nearest knot, finding n single one close to his hand. Then the line Is hauled In, and four knots appear, which signify that the ship is going four and one-half knots through the water. The jerk of the line drags the peg from the logship, which now floats on its flat side and is easily hauled in. When a ship is going over four knots, a fourteen second glass is used, the speed being double that shown by the knots ou the line.—Home Journal and News. llknbarb a Spring Tonic.

Howard and Kearny at Fair Oaks GENERAL O. O. HOWARD, one of the few army commanders now living, says the Washing ton Post, tells the true account of an interview between General Phil Kearny and himself which took place the 2d day of June, early in the morn ing, near the Fair Oaks railroad sta tion, Virginia. "I had ridden down from the hospital on the hill which is east of the depot," said General Howard. "I sat up with the driver of the ambulance, taking a sent by his side, and had a very com fortable ride considering that my arm had been amputated the evening be fore. My brother, Lieutenant C. 11. Howard, was in the ambulance, and so was Lieutenant Colonel Flske of # Gen eral French's staff. They were each wounded in the leg and could not .walk or stand. "I had alighted and was standing on the ground with Rome other officers when General Phil Kearny and his staff—l think there were live or six of them—rode up to the station and, see ing me, crossed over the railway and dismounted before me. General Kear ny and I stood facing each other. I gave him my remaining hand, the left, and he gave me his only hand, the right. He had lost his left in Mexico. " 'I am sorry for you, General How ard, but you must not mind the loss. The ladies will not think any the less of you,' he said. "I laughed at this, and. noticing that our hands were of about the same size, I said, 'Kearny, there is one thing we can do in the future—we can buy our gloves together.' "He answered, 'Sure enough.' "It has been asserted that Kearny met me just after my arm was carried away by a shell. This cannot be true, because I received two wounds, both with bullets—one through the forearm and the other through the elbow, lodg ing near the shoulder. The bones of the arm were so thoroughly comminut ed that an amputation became neces sary, and my arm was amputated In the evening about 5:30 o'clock on the day I received the wound, In the operat ing room of the hospital above referred to, on the hill. I)r. Gabriel Grant met me far out to the front and put on a "KEAIINY, WE CAN RUY OUR GLOVES TO GETHER." bandage. Dr. John F. nammond of South Carolina discovered the nature of my second wound. Dr. Gideon S. Palmer of Maine, my own brigade sur geon, who had come out with my regi ment, the Third Maine, superintended the whole operation of the umputation. lie caused me to wait from about 11 In the morning until 5:30 in the even ing for this work, because he said it was necessary for a reaction to set in. "Several men have said that they carried me off the field. This Is also a mistake, for I walked off the field from very near the Seven Pines crossroads to I)r. Grant's field hospital on the hill, near the Fair Oaks station. It was somebody else that was curried on a stretcher. It might have been my brother, who afterward became by brevet General C. 11. Howard, for he was shot through the thigh and had difficulty In walking a step. "We took the first train from that station to the White House and went thence by bout to Fort Monroe, and from that place to Baltimore by steam er, and after a rough transfer of my brother and myself in a hack from the steamer to the railroad depot we were taken to New York by the cars and Atayed over night at the Astor House. Here Mrs. Stetson, the wife of the pro prietor, supervised our needs and gave us every courtesy nnd kindness until wo set out the next day after our ar rival for Maine." FIKIUIIIK Olilonns. The history of the Thirty-fourth Ohio Infantry includes accounts of several buttles which are not generally men tioned in war chronicles. It fought a great deal out of the beaten track of armies, doing much fighting in West Virginia against the guerrillas. In 1803 the regiment served as mounted infan try, fighting as such at Wytheville, Vn., July 18, where Colonel John T. Toland was killed. "FIGHTING JIM" JOUETT Ills Daring Exploit at Galveston Har bor In lttttl. Roar Admiral James E. Jouett, who died during the past year, was one of a generation of sea fighters that are rapidly decreasing, says the New York Evening Post "Fighting Jim Jouett of the American Navy," as he was pop ularly known among naval men, had a long and distinguished career and was one of the most popular men in the service. lie entered the navj* in 1841 nnd passed through the successive grades of the service to the outbreak of the civil war, when he first saw ac tive service as a lieutenant on board the United States frigate Santee. Lieutenant Jouett's flr3t daring ex ploit took place on the night of Nov. 7, 1801. The Santee was lying off Gal veston, Tex., and Jouett asked per mission to enter the harbor for the purpose of destroying the steamer Gen eral Hush, which was being fitted as a war vessel by the Confederates, and the Royal Yacht, a small frigate, mounting one 32 pound gun. Leaving the Santee a few minutes before mid night with forty men in two launches, Lieutenant Jouett pulled boldly into the harbor. The General Hush was moored at a wharf seven miles away, and he had to pass the Royal Yacht to reach the vessel which he first wished to capture. All went well, and success seemed as sured when Lieutenant Jouett's boat grounded and was run into by the sec ond launch. The noise of the collision amused the crew of the Royal Yacht, who Immediately opened fire. Jouett saw that he could not reach the Gen eral Rush and at once determined to board the Royal Yacht. Twice were the boats hailed, but the little party paid no heed. The boats came along side the frigate, and Carter, Jouett's chief gunner, sent a shot from a 12 pound howitzer through the side of the vessel at the water line and then hoarded her. The recoil of the gun sent the launch back a few boat lengths, leaving Carter alone to face the enemy. With some difficulty Jouett pot the launch alongside again nnd went to his gunner's rescue. He barely reached the deck of the royal yacht when he was wounded in the arm nnd lung by a bayonet lashed to a pole In the hands of a Confederate. Drawing his sword, the lieutenant felled his assailant and jumped into the fight. The retreat was sounded twice, but Jouett's fighting blood was up, and he would not leave. When finally he did go, the crew of the Royal Yacht went with him as his prisoners. After an exciting pull back the two launches reached the Santee. the men being in a state of exhaustion. The Royal Yacht was totally destroyed. For this action Jouett was ordered to proceed to Washington, so that he might "be given a command worthy of his gallantry." During the war Admiral Jouett cap tured a number of blockade runners, j among them being the Kate Dale, Isa- I bella and Susannah, three vessels which were afterward sent to northern ports and profitably sold. In 1800 he aided in the capture of several slavers, which were taken to Key West. CIVIL WAR DESERTIONS. War Department Data Fix the Num ber ut About 117,247 Soldiers. The actual number of desertions from the United States army during the late civil war is unknown, but it has been estimated by the record and pension office, from the best data ob tainable, that the number of actual deserters at large at the close of the war (making due allowance for those incorrectly reported as deserters) was 117,247. Many charges of desertion have been removed by the war department on the ground of manifest error in the record under the acts of July 5, 1884; May 17, 1883, and March 2, 1889, and the acts amendatory thereof. No rec ord lias been kept showing the number of cases in which the charge of deser tion has been removed by the war de partment, and it would he impossible to determine that number, even ap proximately, without examining the records of the department from the war period to the present time. Memorial Day. Go, deck the graves of your dead once more. The heroes who died for you, With incense sweet as the vernal shower And grateful fragrance of May day flower And love thut distills like the dew. Go, solemnly stand on the peaceful dust; Let the drum be muffled and soft, For spirits unseen of a glorious host May be mixing your throng; let your strains lie lost In the music they bring from aloft. Go, not with a pomp that Is worldly and vain And the noise of an Idle throng. But march to the time of a minor strain And with bated breath and a low refrain As you bear your garlands along. For a patriot's grave is a sacred shrine Where the weary found rest at last. The moment is full of a thought divine, And Immortal things with your wreaths entwine. But the martial eclat Is past. Go, kneel on the consecrated ground And scatter the sod with flowers, For a heart once brave rests under each mound Of a man that was loyal and faithful found To the Hag of his country and ours. Go, stand with uncovered and reverent h> ;id Till your patriot Are revives. And ponder the deeds of your soldier dead Till the spirit that hallows their lowly bed Shall entemple itself In your lives. Yes. kneel on the turf that is green again, O'er the graves that enshrine your own. And lay a fair wreath on the cherished mou nd. With devotion as fair, living all the year round.
