Moving Pictures.

Since the days of the old-fashioned
stereopticon, the improvement of pro-
jecting and moving pictures has been
one of the surprising advances Of the
age. From that crude and imperfect
beginning, the evolution of the pres
ent marvellous effects has been steady,
and, considering what has been
achieved, exceedingly rapid. 1t is
now possible to throw upon canvas
the most perfect delineations of life
a street with everything in motion,
and with all as clear and distinct as
though actually seen by the unaided
vision. Among the latest improve
ments in this line is one by means of
which the operator may introduce
other figures into pictures already
shown. 1t is possible to do this with
ordinary lantern slides, and change
and shift I the picture in such
way that the realistic effect is en-
HANGED, rather than diminished. The
same lantern will permit of the use
of kineoptoscope accessories, which
add so much to the success Of enter
tainment.

WISE WORDS.

Education is mental mariner.
Vanity is the yeast cake of pride.
Reading is planting seed thoughts.
Character is the mirror Of thought.
Effort converts the ideal into the
real.
Moderation is 4 check to presump-
tion.
The past is the shoolmaster of the
future.
Reason is the dissecting knife of
thought.
True politeness is kindness kindly
expressed.
Make education science and it will
become an art.
The true prophet is seldom q
prophet to his own people.
If stolen dollars would burn, there
would be some hot pockets.
Sympathy is the channel in which
the current Of mans thought runs.
When your sermons are exhausted,
initiate the farmer who plows deep.
Tolerance is good, SO far as it goes,
but it has no place between equals
and friends.
There is a vast difference between
speaking Zone to another" and one
about another.
Some men blow their own trumpets
by praising in others what is most
conspicuous in themselves.
1t is one thing to survey yourself
with pride, and quite another to ex-
plore your heart with humility.
Without first making everything
else. God would have been without q
language with which to speak to man.

there are nascent periods-that is,
there are certain times when a child
can learn to do things easier and bet

brain is not generally understood.
There is, however, an ebb and flow of
interest. The children apply them
selves assiduously for time, then
comes arrest; and educators are now

along or after the ebb wait for the GER
