TaIkinr by Machinery.

A speaking machine was recently made by
NJ. Faber. Nj. Cartel writes of it in the Jour-
nal de Physique that it consists essentially OF
three parts--a blowing arrangement, an APP
paratus for producing sound and an articulat-
ing apparatus. The first sends current of
air through the larynx. This latter is an
iron reed the length of which can be varied
within certain limits, so as to change the
pitch of the sound. IN. Gariel thinks sys-
TEN of membraneous reeds would have been
better) The articulating apparatus COM
comprises part for producing yowels and
another for consonants. The former operates
by the passage of air through apertnres Of
various forms in diaphragms, which are sue
cessively placed in the passage of the air
current by levers worked with keys; special
cavity, which can be connected with the
other. produces nasal sounds; the communi-
cation is affected at will by means of a special
lever. The consonants are given by pieces
whose action is very similar to those of tn.
lip, the teeth and the tongue. A specia
drum produces the r sound. All these pieces
and organs are put in motion by IA keys
which are ingeniously arranged so as to cause
to act, with suitable intensity and in prope
order, the organs meant to produces syllable
Fourteen KEYS are sufficient, because witt
I the help of accessory keys one can vary tn
character of consonants from strong to weak
etc. The speaking of the machine is neces
sarily mon otonous and not perfect; certain
sounds produce better effect than others
still, in general one can comprehend tn
words and phrases pronounced. The ms
chine is interesting, as showing distinctly tn
mechanism of phonation, which has thus bee
reproduced artificially, and therefore obey
absolutely the laws of acoustics.

Intoxication Among French Children.

Svlyanus Urban in the Gentlemans Maya
zine saws: II shall, / doubt not, startle not
few of my readers when l state that dur
ing recent visit to France have frequent
" seen French children Intoxicated Strange
as such an assertion may seem, deliberately
make it and stand byit. Again and again at
tables d. hote have seen children scarcely
more than babies suffering distinctly from
alcohol. 1t is. as travellers in France know,
the custom in all districts south of the Lore
to supply wine gratis st two OF the meals,
breakfast and dinner, at which the residents
in a hotel eat in company. Repeatedly, then
in the hotels in French watering places l
have watched children of five years old and
upward supplied by their mothers with WINE
enough yisib to flush and excite them. Al
Stables d Olonne one little fellow, whose age
could not be more than six, drank at each OF
two consecutive meals three tumblers Of
| wine slightly diluted with water. The re,
suit was on each occasion that he commenced
to kiss his mother, proceeded to kiss the per
son on the other side of him, continued by
spraying over the table, and ended by put
ting his head in his mothers lap and falling
ito sleep. 1t never seems to enter into tn
mind of French woman that water may b
drunk at meal. When long journeys b.
rail are taken, there is always in the nea
!, basket in which the French mother carrie
provisions bottle Divine or wine and waite
out of which those of her children who hav
passed the stage of absolute infancy ar
allowed to drink. / can indeed say wit
truth that in the course OF
pretty long series OF ooserv:
tons of the French, chiefly made, 1 admit, i
|, public vehicles and hotels, have rarely
! ever seen glass of cold water, unquaiine
with any admixture, quafied by native.
) / is now the fashion to mistrust water eve
: when blended with wine, fo- which purpo
the various springs of the Eau st. Galm
: are largely employed"

The star of Self Love.

The first thing to aggrandize man in his
own conceit. is to conceive of himself as neg
lected. Toundeceive him is to deprive him
of the most tickling morsel within the range
of self-complacency. Were we to recite one
half this mystery all the world would be IN
love with discomfort; we should wear slight
for a bracelet, and neglects and contumacies
would be the only matters for courtship.
The first sting of suspicion is grievious;
but wat--out of that wound there is balm TO
be extracted. Your friend passed you on
such day without notice--he must have
seen YOU. Go home and make the most of it
and YOU are made man from this time
Shut Yourself up; conjure all the kind feel
ings YOU have had for your friend; what you
have been to him, and how his reputation
was nearer to you than your ownl Stop moi
here, but enlarge your speculations, and take
| in the rest of your friends, as spark kindie:
more sparks. Was there one among then
who has not proved hollow and false2 The
little star of self-love wrinkles; that is to en-
courage you through deeper gloom You arr
not vet half sulky enough.
/ Think the very idea of night fled from thu
earth, or your breast the solitary exception Q
it. till YOU have swelled yourself into at leas
one hemisphere. To grow bigger every mo
ment in your own conceit; to defy .yoursei
ut the expense of your species; to reflect witt
what strange injustice you have been treate
in all auarters-these are the true pleasure
Of suikiness.

The admirers of Rev. David Macrae,
who was recently elected from the United
Presbyterian Church of Scotland for heresy,
have decided to organize an independent or
oanization, with Mr.. Macrae for pastor.
Mr.. Macraes presence and address at the
meeting give good ground for the belief that
he will accept the call. About 600 persons
were present many Of whom are members Of
the late Mr.. GilHllan's church. in Dundee.

A Souvenir.

49, A,,to;natte's likeness for the first time,
- .ho Queen was then in all the brilliancy OF
hsr yonth and beauty The following Is her
own description of her success:
Mar;e Antoinette was tall, admirably pro-
,,ort;oned plump, her arms were lovely, she
had small and perfectly shaped HANDS anu
feet. She walked better than any woman "a
France; holding her head very upright, Win
q majesty which denoted the sovereign III ine
midst of her court, without this majestic Dear
mo detracting in the least from the sweetness
and grace of her appearance her features
80 ~ raoular she inherited the long, mar
-..,,,,, oval neculiar to the Austrian nation
8 Har ewes were not large, and almost blue IN
ooIar. her expression was clear and soft; her
nose was thin and pretty; her mouth was not
LARGE. although her lips were rather tnick.
TLe most remarkable thing about her 1ace
was the brilliancys of her com piexion' J,
never saw anything likeit, and brIlilantls the
onlv word to express what 1t was; Ior her
skin was so transparent that 1t allowed OF nc
shodow never could obtain the effect as

the delicate tints of that charming face
which never beheld in any other woman
Al first the imposing air of the queen IN
inundated me. but she spoke to me Win s.
much goodness that her kind manner soon q as !
ainated this impression. 1t was then mao
the portrait which represents her dressed Il
. satin robe, with large panier holding
rose. As may be well believed, | preferre,
greatly to paint her without full toilette ano
Shove all, without large panler
As soon as her majesty heard had prett

making me sing with her several duets. q
for her demeanor, it would be difficult to df
scribe its affability and charm. | do not o.
lieye that Queen Maria Antoinette ever
lowed an occasion to pass BY without sayln
