MUSEUM OF SPEECH.

One of the latest ideas in Paris
is the establishment of a vocal IL
brary, already being installed in the
Bibliotheque Rationale, which is to
consist of collection of graphic
phone records of words spoken or
sung by great orators singers and
actors. The library will be equipped
with abundant instruments for trans
mission of the recorded sounds to the
ears of visitors. Thus in the future
the student-of the life Of some great
man, intending, perhaps, to become
his biographer, may receive aid by
the accents of his voice long after he
has passed away. The new depart
ment will be called the Museum OF
Speech.

RELIGION OF THE SWORD.
Merit Of Fighting for the Faith Sur
passed Every Other With Follow
ers Of Mohammed.

After the Hejira the merit of
fighting with the sword for the
Eman, or faith, surpassed every 9TH
er merit. A drop of blood shed in
the cause of Allah would be of more
avail than two months of fasting
and prayer. To be slain in battle
meant all sins were immediately for
given; the most awful wretch in his
earthly life being at once waited up
to paradise, there to enjoy in the
arms Of the dark-eyed hours an eter-
nal sensual felicity. /,
Mohammed's constant sanction for,
everything that he said or did was
direct message from Allah, sent by
the Archangel Gabriel. If the ques-,
ton arose whether or not plumber
ing expedition would be undertaken; !
in what way the booty was to be di-
vided; whether whole tribe was to
be put to death, OF even whether
new wife was to be added to his
harem (they finally amounted to,
1S), the Angel Gabriel was close at
hand to give the inspired words.

(From the article on John Brasil
ear, the Great Instrument Maker.
by Edwin Tenney Brewster, in Nc.
CLURE's MAGAZINE for April.
The fact that the Brashears had
no money to buy a telescope was no
permanent obstacle-they went to
work to make one instead. They
set up a little shop, with a tiny en-
CINE and a lathe. Together they
made the tubes and ground the
lenses, husband and wife working
side by side, she hardly less deft
than he. Every evening. after his
ten-hour grind at the rolling mill
was over, John Brashear hurried up
the hill to his home up on the South
side, to find his shop in order, the
engine cleaned and oiled, with steam
up, ready for the evenings work.
First came a wash up, with very
careful attention to his hands and
nails, for lens-grinding is delicate
work and some particle of dust or
CRIME from the mills might have
fallen on the polisher and ruined the
glass. He used even resolutely to

when the five o'clock whistle blew,
for another days toll at the mill and
another happy evening in the little
shop.
Three years they spent on their
first five-inch glass. When it was
nearly done, Brashear. then a man
past thirty, wrapped the precious
object in a red bandanna handker-
chief, and carried it across the river
and up the hill to the Allegheny OBJ
servatory, to get the advice of
Langley. who was then director, as
to the final corrections to be made
upon the glass. When at last the
telescope was done, he and his wife
set it up in the attic of their little
house, and, having cut hole in the
roof, invited their friends and neigh.
bors in to have a look at the planet
Saturn.

that the brigade will certainly be
completed at once and will be ready
to take the field at any time requir-

in the forefront of the national
militia. as she should be.
Two of the companies for which
supplies have been secured are now
being recruited in Louisville. The
supplies consist of uniforms, kits,
guns. and ammunition. while the
brigade medical equipment supplies
an important want. The cost of
the supplies to the Government is
about $50. 000."
Col. Bassett. after a conference
with Gov. Wilson at Frankfort, will
give out the names Of the three
militia officers who are to 60 to
