STRENGTHENING the Voice.

Signor Alberto B. Bach has recently
devised and introduced in London a
simple appliance called q 'resonator,"'
for increasing the volume and power of
the human voice when singing. In the
course of q recent lecture Signor Bach
described the mechanism of the vocal
organs, and explained the modes in
which their power could best be devel-
oped, and among other points he directed
attention to the office performed by the
hard portion of the palate, this acting as
a kind of sounding board when the
mouth is open for singing. It is for the
purpose of increasing the efficiency OF
the palate in this respect that the re-
senator has been designed. =.
The instrument consists of q gold
plate fitted to the roof of the mouth,
close above the upper teeth-much in
the same way as the gold palate of a set
of artificial teeth-the plate having. at
tached to it another gold plate which IS
convex downward in both directions.
A hollow sounding board-as it may be
called-is thus formed, which has q re-
markable effect on the volume OF sound
produced by the person wearing the IN
strument. The resonator appears to
have no p~rejudicial effect upon the dis.
tinctness Of articulation, and Signor
| Bach states that it can be used without
the slightest inconvenience after a mod.
crate amount of practice. It will not
give q good vote to n who does not
already possess that Gift. nor will il
eradicate any faults in singing, but
properly used, it is reported to have 6
remarkable effect in increasing thu
power of the sound which a singer car
produce, and this without deterioratins
its quality or increasing the effort re
l:quired.

nriein of ga Mild.Goose Chase"

A writer in the Troy Times says:
"Wild-goose chase" was q term USED
to express q sort of racing on horseback
formerly practiced, resembling the ny
ing of wild geese, these birds generally
going in a. train one after another, not IN
Confused 1ocks as other birds do. In
this sort Of race the two horses, alter
running twelve score yards, had LIBERTY

to take what ground the jockey pleased,
the hindmost horse being bound TO 1ol,
low him within q certain distance agreed
on by the articles, or else to be whipped
in by the triers and j .dges who rode by,
and which ever horse could distance ths
other won the race. This sort of race
was not long in common use, for 1T was
found inhuman and destructive of good
horses when two such were matched to-
gether. For, in this case, neither was
able 10 distance the other till they were
both ready to sink under their riders;
and often two very good horses were
both spoiled, and the wagers forced to
be drawn at last. The mischief OF this
sort of Tracing soon broughtin the method

pleasantly described:

Can honesty be found.

What Writers Receive.

Turning from the remuneration ofthe
authors for their volumes to the COM
p~ensation of writing for the press, the
light and the shade are not as strongly.
marked The struggle in the case OF
papers and magazines is not 80 much
for q high rate of payment as for the nc.
ceptance of Il manuscript. The rate OF
payment is settled, and, except for
special reasons, is the same for each
article. The rate in the principal maya.
zines and reviews is about q cent a word
for prose, although articles of excep-
tional value or especially noteworthy
authorship are paid at a much hi9 her
rate. The rate in most weekly journals
(most of which are of religious char
acter) is slightly more than one cent for
two words. During the last three years
q young writer known to the author OF
this paper has published fourteen arti-
Giles in seven of the leading magazines
and quarterlies. For them he has re-
ceived S426.50-an average OF $50 tor
each paper. He has also published
twenty.seven articles in five religious
weekly journals. For them he was paid

than 81 for each. This example lndi'

Novel Use of Wood Shayings.

From wood shavings and paper, Herr
Heilemann makes plates, dishes, etc., as
follows: Selected plane shavings are
bound into bundles and stepped in a bath
of weak gelatine solution about twenty
four hours, then dried and cut into suit
able lengths. Plates are cut of strong
paper or thin pasteboard of the size of
the objects to be produced. These are
moistened with a liquid. consisting of
weak gelatine solution with sodium
waterglass and pressed in heated metallic
molds. After drying, the pressed paper
objects are coated on both sides with IN
adhesive material made of five parts
Russian gelatine and one part thick tur-
pentine, the shavings are applied to
them, and the whole is subjected 10
pressure. Wood shavings alone would,
because of their unequal thickness, pre-
sent uneven surfaces. The objects are
now cut, necessary, dried and var.

The Amount Of Money Saved by Presi.
dents.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Times says: Speaking Oh
saving money in the White House. !
am reminded of a conversation l a
some time ago with Fifth Auditor Ella,
who was formerly a member of Congress
from New Hampshire, regarding fresl-
dent Pierce. Mr.. Ella said that he kneW
General Pierce very we'll, n there

dignilied gentleman. He was the per-
fiction of propriety, and during his term
everything in q social way in the White
House was of the highest order. His
entertainments were OF the most costly,
his wines were of the costliest and the
whole atmosphere Of the White House
was liberal and becoming. Mrs. Pierce
was q capital housekeeper, and was
capable of experimenting an immense
establishment like the White House.
General Pierce's unfortunate disease was
the only bar to the perfect domestic ad-
miaistration of the Presidents house.
His desire for drink c lme sometimes
once a month and sometimes it would
not come for six months. When it
came, however, he gave up to it entirely
and remained concealed from the pub

c%onviviality about his sprees. lie
ALWAYS went off alone, and at SUCH
| times no one could manage him but his
wife. No. doubt his absence from ms
reception-room day after day during his
neriods was accounted for by those
! about the White House as such things
have been accounted for in more recent
days, by such EXPLANATIONS as leavy
coli" "cholera morbus, "jaundice, etc.
General Pierce's great trouble, however
was a brother who would never stop,
sowing his wild oats. The general mac
paid his brothers debts again ana

Smoking In the Washington Depart.
ments,

Under some administrations smoking
is not allowed in the government build
ings. Under the present administra-
ton the blue cloud of tobacco smoke
hovers everywhere, except at the
White House, where Mrs. Hayes will
not permit it. Secretaries Sherman and
Schurz are great smokers. General
Kew is the only cabinet member who
does not use tobacco. He used to be
an inveterate user of the weed, but broke
himself of the habit several years ago.
Lot Morrill,, who was Secretary Sher.
mans predecessor, was q great hater OF
tobacco. He could not eve endure the
Whit of a cigar. When he entered the
treasury department he issued an order
forbidding tobacco smoking in the de-
partment. Violation Of the order was
punished with dismissal. Huge
placards, bearing this order in large let
tiers, were hung all over the department
during Morrill's time, and the secretary
looked actively alter the rigid enforce
ment of this order. A Whit of toblcco
apparently could not enter the huge
building without his discovering it:
The morning Secretary Sherman entered
the building to take possession Of it az
its chief he came in putting a huge black
cigar. He lazily walked through the
corridors, smoking quietly, and finally
disappearing in his private office. Not
a word was said by anybody, but Nor
rilrs anti-smoking placards instantly
disappeared. Matches were scratched,
and, five minutes after Sherman's
entrance, the hard-worked clerks were
putting away at cigars all over the
building.
A tobacco story is related of Secretary
Graham, who was once in charge OF the
navy department. He went upon the
day OF his accession to take charge of the
building, smoking q cigar. When he
came to enter the building a watchman
stopped him. Said he: mo smoking
is to he permitted in the building"
"Oh," said MI. Graham, tossing away
his cigar without explaining who he
was. Passing rapidly up to the office
he seated himself at his desk and took
out a fresh cigar from his pocket, de.
liberately lighted it, and then, instead OF
revoking the obnoxious order that had
met him at the door, he merely wrote
out another directing that from that
date there should be smoking in the
building. 1t is the only case on record
where an affirmative order of this kind
has been made Washington Letter TO the
CHICAGO Times.
