A Speaking Machine.

A new and most ingenious speaking
machine has lately been exhibited by
Herr Faber before the Physical Society,
London. It is designed to more per-
fectly initiate, mechanically, the utter
ance of the human voice, by means of
artificial organs of articulation made on
the human model, and it is worked by
keys like musical instrument. A bel
lows made of wood and India rubber
serves for lungs; small windmill is
placed in front Of the vessel to give trill-
ing sounds; the larynx is made of sin
gle membrane of hippopotamus hide and
India rubber; and mouth with two
lips, tongue and an India rubber nose
complete the organs of the apparatus.
Fourteen distinct sounds are uttered by
it, and, by combining these, any word in
any language can be produced also
laughing and whispering.

Orange Cnlture in Florida.

Orange trees are set out in rows us
ually from twenty-five to thirty feet
apart each way, and when budded COM
mence bearing in four years, seedlings in
from seven to ten years. They require
light cultivation two or three times
year, either with the hoe, harrow or
small turning plow, drawn by one horse
To fertilize it is customary to raise
several crops OF corn peas each year and
plow under the vines, which have an
influence similar toour clover. The rich
hamock lands need no fertilizlng to
grow the orange or lemon, but many
persons raise vegetables between the
trees until they commence bearing. In
this case it becomes necessary to use
commercial fertilizers In this way, by
close attention, intelligence and industry,
which every business requires, there may
be realized from each acre in vegetables
from 800 to $500 per year. When the
orange tree is of full bearing age and well
cared for, each years crop is worth
about s., 900 per acre, about equal to
fifty acres of wheat. I have heard of
some groves exceeding this; for instance,
the Spurs Grove near Lake Monroe, of
four and one-haH acres, yielded few
years since, as I am informed, seven
thousand five hundred dollars, and Col.
Harris fine grove of about seven acres,
near Palatka, yields an annual income of
from ten to twelve thousand-a nice in
come. Uncleaned lands are worth from
IS to $50 an acre, according to quality
and proximity to towns and transporta-
ton, and those that are desirable are
being rapidly taken up, as there is an
immense influx of population and capital,
especially of our northern friends, who
usually have the faculty of putting
their money where it will do the most
good" Budded trees cost from $25 to
$1OO per 100. To clear the ground costs
from $40 to $40 per acre, and fencing
from S. to $40 per acre.
An orange grove of full bearing age,
and in a fancy location, and having a
good water protection, which some think
important, sells for 50, 900 or So, 900 per
acre, and even at this price yields a good
interest on the money invested.
I have endeavored to give the import
ant facts truthfully. Want of experience
and limited observation may have led me
into inaccuracies. I have no hesitation
in SAYING I believe that an intelligent,
industrious and patient man may, IN
ten or twelve years, in Florida, make
with almost certainty, fortune OF from
$50. 900 to 100000. This appear in
credible, but think it is true and know
| it has been done.-FJortdG Letter IN
Kansas City Times.

From the Australian Bush.

While fifteen cents was paid in
Queensland, Australia, for a kangaroo
scalp, they came in at a great rate,
35, $50 scalps being paid for in year
and half A reduction of the rate to
twelve has made all the difference in
favor of the kangaroos. 1t is estimated
that a kangaroo eats MS much grass as q
sheep, and destroys as much as it eats by
the skill with which it picks out the
most succulent herbage.
The bush of Australia is SO overfed
by the multiplying of wild horses that
they have to be shot down in common
with rabbits and kangaroos. In one
district an Arab stallion got away some
thirty years ago, and was never recap
tured, He was n chestnut, and took
couple of thoroughbred colts with him,
and it has been remarked that q large
proportion of the wild horses of the dis
trict are of his color. Horses believed
TO be very old are occasionally seen far
away in distant ranges. One man has
shot 5000 horses in two years,

The STYLE.

Though it would seem that the people
Of all countries are equally vehement in
the pursuit Of this phantom, style, yet in
almost all of them there is a strange
diversity in opinion as to what consti-
tutes its essence; and every different
class, like the pagan nation, adores it
under different form. In England an
honest citizen packs up himself, his fam
ily. and his style in buggy or tim
whisky, and rattle away to spend Sun
day. A baronet requires a chariot and
pair; lord must needs have barouche
and four; but duke, o! a duke, cannot
possibly lumber his style along under a
coach and six, and half q score Of foot
men. This style has ruined the peace
and harmony of many a household, for
no sooner do they set up for style, than
all the honest old comfortable sans cere-
monte furniture is discarded, and you
stalk cautiously about, amongst the un-
comfortable splendcr of Grecian chairs,
Egyptian tables and Etruscan vases.
The vast improvement in furniture de-
mands an increase in the domestic estab-
lishment, and family that once re-
quired two or three servants for conven-
fence, now employs half dozenfor style.
Bell Brazen was one of these pattern S
of style; and whatever freak she was
seized with, however preposterous, was
implicitly followed by all who would be
considered as admitted in the stylish
arcana. She was once seized with a
whim-wham that tickled the whole court.
She could not lay down to take an after
moons loll but she must have one SER
want to scratch her head, two to tickle
her feet, and fourth to fan her delecta-
BILE person while she slumbered. The
thing took-it became the rage, and not
sable belle in all Hayti but what in
sisted upon being famed and scratched
and tickled in the true imperial style.
Sheer not at this picture, my most ex-
cellent townswomen, for who among you
but are daily following fashions equally
absurd.-Irving.

A Question Of Tests,

"You see" observed Dr.. Slim, as he
banged the patient acress the back of
the neck with club, "you see plainly,
gentlemen, that there Is no organic diff
ficnlty. The functions are natural, and
this is plain case of hysteria." %
81 don't know about that" said DR..
Stout, kicking the woman a fearful ick
under the ear. "She may not manifest
it, but there is certainly sensation there"
eff you notice, " Clipped in DR.. Green,
dropping hodful of bricks on the SUBJ
iect's head, "she does not act as though
she were conscious, though that may re-
suit as much from hysteria as from spin
al arrangement"
"This test" remarked DIR. Sapp, as
he started charcoal fire on thewoman's
stomach, "has been found infalible.
If, under this treatment. she kicks, it is
hysteria. If she don't kick, we find that
even more potent tests must be ap-
Piled"
"In that case my system is the one to
employ" said DIR. Flat, running light
ming rod through the patient. T" Under
this treatment we inevitably arrive at
results"
"Tm not sure but what we will have
to resort to heroic remedies" suggested
DR.. Cruel, emptying a gallon Of vitriol
down the woman's throat. "These mild
tests do not appear to conduce to con-
clusions."
"Have you noticed any peculiar
symptoms?" asked the faculty in chorus
of the weeping husband.
Only-one-gentlemen, % sobbed the
spouse.
"What was that?"
"She-died about twenty -four hours
ago!'
And the question now is whether she
died of hysteria or spine, with pre-
ponderance of evidence on both Sides
