a uome.Mnde Magic L,nterp.

Those boys and girls who are not the
happy owners of magic lantern will
be interested to know that almost the
same results may be obtained with
materials that may be very easily cb-
tained. They consist of the white
cloth-or paper will answer-upon
which the pictures are thrown, of a
mirror, candle and some paper
figures.
Equally simple is the performance.
Having stretched the cloth against
wall in darkened room, set a lighted
candle opposite to it on a table, with
a book or similar object intervening,
so that the light will not directly
strike the cloth, but keep it in COM
parative darkness. Then hold the mir
ror sideways before the candle at such
an angle that the reflection of it will
be thrown on the cloth You have thus
secured the slide itself, square or
round as the form of the mirror may
be. 1t yet remains to introduce the
picture. This is easily done. You must
only hold a paper figure between the
candle and the glass, and its shadow
on the mirror, reflected on the cloth,
gives in silhouette the form of the pa
per.
Moving 1t forward between the
candle and the glass, the figure will
appear to walk more or less leisurely,
or regular promenade may be ar
ranged, with two or more figures NOV
ing in opposite directions. Other
motions will readily suggest them
selves to the imaginative mind
1t is, however, necessary to remem-
Der that the picture show in silhoutte
only so that only the outlines of the
paper can be depended upon to give
shape and form.

what may be accomplished by a clear
cool head.
Two boys were working together in
one room of factory where trunks
were manufactured, when in some way
a fire started in a pile of window
shades. One boy, when he saw the
blaze, which was only a small one.
rushed frantically down stairs. and out
To the nearest box. where he turned
in an alarm. The other however
quickly gathered up the burning
shades. thrust them into a trunk stand
ing near, and shut the cover upon
them. When the hremen reached the
place, they asked where the fire was
and the boy answered coolly, Il don't
think there is any now, but if there
is, il is all in this trunk"
The trunk was opened, and it was
found that the fire was out. smothered
by lack of air. The firemen compli-
mented the boy on his action, and the
other who had turned in the alarm
hastened to say why, | could have
done that if had thought of it,"
If he had thought of it-that is where
the point comes. That is where so
many of us fail. What is done by the
clear, cool-headed person in an emer-
gency is usually something simple,
something that anybody could do. =.
Our brains were given us for use,
but we are not getting the full use of
them il they refuse to serve us when
we need them most. Very often we
make the mistake of thinking that we
can do nothing to prevent this fall
ure, and so go on in the same old way,
letting our brains play us false at
critical moments, when, with the right
sort of training, they might have
helped us to be masters of the situa-
tion, instead of being mastered by it.
Training can accomplish a great deal.

Every Day Is the rett Day.
Some skies may be gloomy,
Some moments be sad,
But somewhere. always.
Some souls may be glad;
For true is the saying
Proclaimed by the seer
Each day is the best day
or somebody's yearv
Each day finds a hero,
Each day helps a saint.
Each day brings TO some one
A joy without tint;
Though it may not be my turn
Or yours that is near
Each day is the best
or somebody's year."
The calendar sparkles
With days that have brought
Some prize that was longed for,
Some good that was sought;
High deeds happen daily,
Wide truths grow more clear
Each day is the best
OF somebody's year!"
No sun ever rose
But brings joy behind;
No sorrow I'm letters
The whole earth can bind;
How selfish our fretting.
How narrow our fear
Each day is the best
OF somebody's yearr'

How to Cut a Fear In Two.

actly in halves as it falls, after burn

can we find the exact spot to place
the knife on chair or the floor so
that the pear in falling will be cut?
This is done by dipping the pear in a
glass Of water. After suspending the
pear few drops of water will fall on
the exact spot, which must be noted

regard to the origin of the
streets name and the history of the
man for whom 1t was christened Even
the editors of several Chicago journals
have been i'll informed enough to con
fuse Gen George Rogers Clark, the
soldier and pioneer, with Capt. Will
liam Clark, the explorer Of the famous
Lewis and Clark expedition.
1t was Gen. George Rogers Clark
who wrupg this section from the Brit
ish and the Indians, and whose unpar-
alleled fortitude in the frontier cam
paigns at the end of the eighteenth
century led the men who laid out the
streets of Chicago to honor one O.
them with his name. 1t was Gen.
George Rogers Clark, who in 1913
raised a small volunteer force in Vir-
ginia, crossed the Ohio, reduced all
the British posts between the Missis-
sippi and the great lakes and male
them the boundary of the United
States instead of the Ohio river.
His marches through the painless
wilderness were marvels OF endurance
his prudence was so great that re
rarely lost a man and his daring has
not been surpassed in the annals of the
heroic pioneers. Few things in his
tory or in fiction are finer than his
march to and attack upon Vincennes
in the winter of 177S.
Gen. Clark was born in Albemarle
County, Virginia, in 1852. He was a
surveyor, like Washington, but he pre-
ferred another kind OF pathfinding,
and in 1777. in consultation with Gov.
Patrick Henry, he planned his expedi-
ton to the Northwest. After reaching
Kaskaskia without much adventure
he set out from there in February
1879, to recapture Vincennes, which
had been taken and garrisoned by the
British under Harrison.
For five days he waded his army

HE ANSWERS THE QUESTION ASKED
ABOUT "oTHERS OF HER SEX"

/ wonder if your West Paris CORE
spondent asked that question with the
expectation or the desire for an answer
or did he or she probably she) ask ii
just to pass away the time? The queS.
ton as it stands is this: I've would like
TO know il he still thinks any others of
her sex might possibly qualify themselves
to vote, besides our honored Mrs. Liver
more"
We have, as yet, had no reason to
change the views we have always held
that our sisters are the equal of their
brothers in every way except in physi-
cal way. Is your question answered in
accordance with your views and the
facts? 1t is a matter of history that,
given an equal chance in the schools she
has held her own and more too. We
still think that in the school of politics
she would make rs good showing. We
hope that she wouldn't become as cor
rupt. We think the tendency wouldn't
set SO strong in that direction. We APP
prchend that the world will know more
about that ere another decade has passed
away.
In one thing, at least, she is the in
feror of man. She can't kick football
so high. There may be a few other
minor things she cannot do so well, not
necessary to name. But~we overlook
those things when we remember her
other traits and qualifications. We
never for a moment forget that they are
sweet. JOIN.
