A Talking.Machine.

During more than century invent
Ors have turned their ingenuity to con
structing machines capable of initiating
the human voice, though what practical
purpose they might serve if ever SO per-
feet it is difficult to discover. One of
the latest of these efforts, and perhaps
the most successful, is machine made
by nj. Faber. 1t consists essentially of
three parts-the wind-producing sys-
tenn, the souud-making apparatus, and
the articulating arrangement. AS for
the first, nothing particular need be
said; it is simply series of bellows.
The second, the sound-producer, the
larynx, is an ivory tube so constructed
that within certain limits the length
may be varied so as to cause difference
in tone produced. Probably he would
have been more successful had he
adopted some more elastic material.
The articulating apparatus includes
part for sounding the vowels and an
other for pronouncing the consonants.
The former are due to the passage Of
air through openings of different shapes,
made in diaphragms placed successive
ly in the current of air by the action of
levers moved by the fingers; in addi-
ton special cavity, destined to pro-
duce nasal sounds, can be put in COM
munication with the former at pleasure
by means CT a particular lever. The
consonants are produced by pieces, the
action of which is analogous to that OF
the lips, the teeth and the tongue, and
the rolling of the r is caused by q
wheel. All these imitation organs are
put in motion by fourteen keys very in
geniously disposed in way to produce
the necessary intensity of action and
variation in sequence of the parts des-
tined to pronounce a syllable. The
number of fourteen keys is sufficient,
for by certain variations in the touch
the intended sound can be regulated as
strong or weak at pleasure. As might
be expected, the language of the ma
chine is very monotonous, and is by no
means perfect, as some sounds produce
q much better effect than others; how
ever, in general, the words pronounced
are easily understood. They cannot
be compared to the changes in the hu-
man voice, and whatever improvements
the machine may receive, the question
still remains, What use is it?-Gdlig-
nanjs Messenger, Paris.

The WOrsted Church.

The Worsted Church OF Canterbury,
N. H., in the interior, is a mosaic of
needlework of vines, flowers and
decorations of worsted, in all colors
and designs. Few persons would be-
lieve that such charming effects could
be produced with such material.
Crocheted lambrequins cover the cur
tains at each window, and baskets filed
with zephyr wool flowers hang from the
center. Harps, crosses, anchors,
wreaths of flowers, and festoons of
vines, are placed between large tablets
of artistic designs. grazing the walls
like ancient tapestry, and inscribed
with scriptural selections. These tab
let's and inscriptions are composed of
various colored crimped tissue papers,
upon background of cloth. The let
tering is well executed, and no two in

Pay Of French Legislators.

As the French Chambers have re.
turned to Paris, it may not be uninter-
esting to give glance at the different
deliberative Assemblies which have sue.
ceeded each other in this country since
1889. In that year the number OF
representatives was 774-nine per de-
partment and three extra. Each mem
Der received Is francs day, and thus
the Assembly cost 1882 francs daily,
or 331 1868 francs q month for twenty
four sittings. The whole session of
nine months, therefore, required z, $751;
622 francs. In addition, $1,000 francs
was allowed for the Bureau, making q
total of 3,038, 922 francs. The members
of the Corps Legislatif, which came
after the Representatives of the People.
had 10000 francs each per session, with
the obligation of having a carriage Tor
two legislators. Under the Restoration
the Deputies received no pay. The
President alone received 100000 francs
to meet the expense of receptions.
Under Louis Philippe the members
did not have any salary, but the Pres
ident received 100000 francs. In 184S
the Deputies of the Second Republic,
who were 800 in number, received %
francs day, or $4,000 francs
per month. The session lasted
nine months and cost 1905, 900
francs, including the President and the
Questors. Under the empire, that is to
say from 1852 to 1870, there were 283
They received at first 1000
francs a month during time of the ses-
sions. Afterward they had fixed sal
airy of 1880 francs. The President of
the Legislative Corps had fixed allow
ance of 100000 francs, and 10000 francs
for costs of receptions. The sessions
of the second empire absorbed $780,
600 francs. In 1871, the Assembly at
Bordeaux was composed of $50 mem
bers, who were paid $50 francs month,
or 5000 francs year. They had their
salaries even during the months when
they did not sit. The allowance of the
President was reduced at this period to
10000 francs, and the Questors to 49,
900 francs. Since 1876 the Chamber
is composed of 548 members, including
the representatives of the French colo
MES. Each member has a fixed allow
ance of $50 francs month. The Pres
ident's salary is 10000 francs, and that
of the. Questors $4,000 francs. indie

such as lodging, firing, lighting, attend

An immense ornament of flowers and
drapery is suspended from the center
OF the ceiling. with Two large arches Of
flowers spanning the interior of the
church. The flowers look SO fresh that
the beholder is almost tempted to
pluck regal lily, blushing rose,
radiant dahlia, q modest ferget-me-not
or the lily of the valley with its fairy
bells. Who has done all this work? A
young widow, who made work-room
OF an apartment near the entrance of
the church, and who not only decorat-
ed the walls during the week, but con-
Quoted service every Sunday for five
years, reading popular sermons from
the pulpit.

THE other night, says Washington
correspondent, a group of politicians
were in Postmaster General Keys
room, talking of old times down in
Tennessee. Gen. Key had quite
good deal to say about Andrew John
son. He said that he had often curried
his horse. Andrew Johnson used to
stop at his fathers, who was a farmer,
and young Key always had the job of
polishing oil Johnson's horse. In this
case the future President had for a
groom future Cabinet Minister. Key
says that Johnson was one of tho most
ambitious of men, and that he could
not live outside of politics. At the mo-
ment he returned home as ex-President
he began intriguing for place in the
Senate, and succeeded after making a
very vigorous effort for the same.
