A NOMENCLATURE THEATER.

Every boy can give moving picture
shows at home after constructing the
miniature theater described below
This is easy to build and you will find
the work interesting; while planning
new ideas fer pictures will furnish
enough additional occupation to keep
you from growing tired of the toy.
If you can get an old picture-frame
with about IS by 30-inch opening it
win form splendid stage front, but
if you cannot obtain one make a
rough frame out of boards four inches
wide.
After producing the frame, prepare
a box about Is inches high, feet long
and inches deep, for the stage
framework. Notcn one edge OF the
top ~ inches from each end, max
ing the notches one inch square a,
Fig. p; then prepare the socket
blocks B 8 inches square, bore enc
inch hole through each, and screw or
nail them to the stage framework so
the holes will come directly under
slots A. Cut the rollers c from the
straight ends of broom-handles or
from curtain poles, and prepare a
number of them Tack a piece OF
cloth about eight inches square to
each four inches from the lower end
to pin the ends of the picture strips
to. Prepare Ihe two wooden buttons
d and screw them to the top edge OF
the framework in the proper position
to hold the rollers in the slots. Pre-
pare the cranks E as shown in Fig. z
The purpose of sticks F is to hold
the strip of pictures close to the front
of the stage. Place them close to the
front of the framework and about
three inches from each side OF where
the front frame opening will come
The Pickering of the light of a
moving picture show can be produced
by preparing a cardboard cylinder
with a number of circular openings
cut through it, and pivoting it at its
center in front of the lantern. When
the disk is whirled rapidly it will pro-
duce the desired Pickering effect.
The pictures should be lighted from
the front. If you haven't magic Ian
tern, get small box, cut hole in
the front for the light to shine

DINNER GUESTS GO HUNGRY
Aged Royal Host Slept and Etiquette
Would Not Permit That He
Should Be Awakened.

Prince Leopold, the recently de-
ceased regent of Bavaria, some weeks
before his fatal illness fell asleep at
dinner party Immediately after the
first course. His guests were re-
strained by etiquette from waking him,
but continued their conversation in a
low tone. The servants did not dare
to continue serving the dinner.
The prince soon commenced to
snore. and slept on for two hours, dur
ing which time no one allowed himself
to leave his place. The guests sat
famished in the same room with
marvelously appointed dinner. Finally
Prince Leopold awoke. He took hur-
ried glance round the table and saw
only a number of perfectly correct
faces successfully pretending to have
noticed nothing. Persuaded that his
slight lapse had passed completely I'M
remarked, he said quietly, Now let us
go and take coffee" The guests rose
accordingly and proceeded to the
.drawing1room. They were served with
coffee. liqueurs, cigars. The prince,
thoroughly refreshed by his sleep, in
dulged in great deal of excellent con-
versation which lasted till midnight.
The party then broke up, and the
guests departed, famished with hun.

by cutting window where indicated
so the audience will see the figures

Scene 2 shows the dog sitting upon
a roof top. In an instant the dog
must leap off, and then his pursuers
must dash across and leap off after
him, A picture showing a dog in a

this scene, be pasted upon piece OF
cardboard, and pivoted by means OF
thread to the back OF the roof seen

In the third, or forest scene, the
pursuers should be seen passing be-
hind the trees, and in the fourth
scene ali should be shown grouped
about the captured dog For this last
scene you will require new set OF
figures. and a piece of cardboard OF
the size of the frame opening upon
which to arrange and paste them.

NATURE A LOVING MOTHER
She Teaches Us in Her Gentle Way to
Live On and Grow Wiser, Bet
ter, Stronger, Healthier.

Natures heart and purpose is TEEN
ing with life, love and beauty.
This is just as true of you and me
as it is of fields and flowers.
Just to live on is to grow wiser,
better, stronger, healthier.
l know that is a gospel that many
disbelieve. 1t being q free country,
anyone can believe what he likes.
There are those to whom life is but
an increasing disease, old age calam-
ity and the whole affair q mistake
Any who prefer to go wailing and
regretting from the cradle to the
grave may do so. l can only say that
to me it is silly. useless and untrue.
l suppose / have made as many
mistakes as the next man; l know
have done 10000 foolish things;
have hurt those who loved me;
have been betrayed, swindled, lied
about and injured by my fellow be,
ings; l have failed many and many a
time; and if anybody has a right to
want to go out in the garden and eat
worms. or sit in a corner and weep,
or give up and join the down-and-out-
ers, surely it is l.
But out of all this welter of error
and evil there has come to me not
despair but hope. not tears but peace,
not hate but love.
l have put my soul against this old
universe. I have leaned my heart
against this wide humanity, and I am
healed. Thank God! l am pretty we'll
thank you, and propose to remain So
| do not speak merely of physical
health; that shall be as God wills:
but of mental and spiritual health. /
take the great world as it is, and
find healing.
A lot of things I have lost. with
youth, but an immeasurably greater
lot l have gained with middle age.
To me Nature and Time have been
great nurses and teachers. nay, low
ing mothers, who have healed me of
! know not how many evils.-Wom

For the picture ft-!.,s use white
| cheesecloth or muslin Cut them
| about eight inches wide, and sew to-
gether as many lengths IS are neces-
sary for the set OF pictures you plan.
| You will find an unlimited assert
ment of pictures from which to make
selections, IN newspapers and maya
zines
Before preparing a set OF pictures,
select the subject and write out a
| synopsis of the story. Perhaps you
| can think of a good set of pictures
that you have seen a. a moving-pic
ture theater. Suppose you choose "A
Dog Chase" for the story. Hunt up
a picture showing a dog running and
paste 1t upon one of your cloth strips;
then select pictures of boys, girls,
men and women, afoot, in automo-
biles and other vehicles. and after
leaving a space of about two feet be-
hind the dog arrange the pictures one
after another. You might start the
chase with a small boy, then have a
policeman chasing after him, then
butcher running behind the police
man, after him a lady pushing baby
carriage. and so on
Fig. / shows the boy operator ex-
hibiting just such a strip OF pictures.
OF course the picture-frame opening
above and below tie strip of pictures
must be filed up to prevent the op-
orator from being seen This may be
taken care of by lacking a piece OF
white cloth or cardboard wide enough
to lap one-haIf inch over the edge OF
the picture strip to the back Of the
picture-frame, above and below the
picture strip. But here is a better
idea Prepare scenery TO I'LL in tlose
places. This may be prepared very
roughly upon cardboard Cardboard
from boxes may be used. and. if this
is qolored. white paper may be pasted
over il for a working face.
With scenery, it will be possible to
use one strip of pictures for several
scenes. Taking a Dog Chase. for
example, you might prepare the four
scenes as suggested in Figs. 3. 4, 5
and 6. In the first scene the dog ane
his puTsuers should be shown dash

the front door of the cottage at the

OLD cathedraIs Near Ruin.

Winchester cathedral is not the only
structure of its kind to have been en-
dangered in the course of centuries.
Italian experts have recently declared
that the cathedrals of Como and
Milan are in danger of collapse and
that immediate restoration works are
necessary if they are to be saved The
main structure of the Milan cathe-
dral dates back to the sixteenth cen
fury, but the facade was added by Ma
poleon and the hurried manner in
which he had the work accomplished
has caused it tc be unsafe today,
many of the marbles being soft and
badly set. The upper part is now to
be demolished in consequence. 1t is
also the facade of the Como cathe-
dral which is in danger This has
been bullying outwards for nearly a
century, and a large portion is now

Modern Ideas Have Made Things
Much Mere Simple Than In the
Years Past.

To carry out TIE color scheme OF a
bedroom is not so difficult matter to-

the aids offered by the stores are the
sets of shams. table covers, covers for
the pincushion and sofa pillows,

eyes closed is to always use q hook
one Bize larger than the eye. They fit
more closely than those of the same
size. When hooks are bent they should
be removed and replaced with good
ones If you are doubtful about hooks
being rustproof, drop little machine
oil into the palm of your hand and rub
the hooks in it. This will prevent rust
ing, but as there are rustproof hooks
one should always buy that kind.

To Hold Needles.

An unusual needle case can be
with either silk or mercerized cotton
in a simple crochet stitch. One OF
these bottles is used for large needles
and the other for finer ones. This
covers are drawn closely about the
neck of the bottles and fastened.
Then crochet two or three strings OF
chainstitching and connect the two
bottles. A good plan is to use differ
ent colors for the covers, so that the
needles can easily be distinguished.
1t requires very little time to make
a needlecase of this description, and
it is an extremely useful article 10

SUMMER PILLOW SLIPS MUST BE

Ideas for Those That Have a Prefer

Devoted Followers.

Spring and summer call for q dis

priately with summer hangings and
furniture.
If you have planned to have ere,

three yards extra when you order, &c
that pillows to match win complete
the attractive idea. These need NOT
be made enterly of cretonne, They
can b. combinations of this material

have six-inch borders at each short
end. The heavier fabric gives firm

wear is.
Crt-out patterns, stitched in Dor.

effective covers. Arrange the stems
and he flowers at the tops, in
straight rows so that conventional
old-fashioned border effect will De
the result The flowers should not
reach any higher than two-thirds ur
and they should be about on the
same line. Machine stitching serves
to hold down the irregular edges with
success.
The checked bingham pillow in al
sizes is a summary feature that is
good for bungalows or porches. Green
and white. blue and white and red
and white are staple patterns. They
can form entire pillows, or in com
bination with plain muslin can be re-

Striped and plain denims are very
durable. If worked in embroidery
cross-stitch designs or combined with
plain fabrics, they offer artistic relief
for a summer home
The use of tan and gray linen, en-
livened by bright embroidery, is very
successful. Blue, yellow, green and

fresh-looking designs. In this age oil

At seashore homes the fabrics
such as bingham, unfading cretonnes
and natural-colored ponges and linen
are advisable. Salt air plays havoc
with colors and should be remem

1.-THE CLIMATE OF
WESTERN CANADA"
AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CAM
ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2, 1913. pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, ETC.,
says: I'VE have had fine weather I'M
til New Years, when some snow fell
and ID was cold for a few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from 80 to 80 bushels of wheat
per acre, 60 bushels of oats and about
20 bushels of fax. All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd of February
there were eighty-four and a quarter
hours of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
ical department registered 100 hours
for the % days.
February was exceptionally fine al
through, but 1912 went one better, and
was a glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.5 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was - be-
low. During the last fortnight Of
February and ST. hours of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over
Edmonton, and this out of a possible
total of about ten hours is something

Roses at one time figured prominent
ly in the pharmacopoeia. Pliny gives
80 remedies compounded of rose
leaves and petals. Sufferers from nerv-
Gus complaints used to seek relief by
sleeping on rose pillows, and one is
told that Heliogabalus used TO imbibe
rose wine as a pickup after his
periodical gormandizing bouts. Tie
foweT was also served at table, both
as a garnish, in the way parsley Is
now used. and as a salad. and rose
water was largely used for favoring
dishes. Roses as food have gone out
of favor among western nations, but
the Chinese still eat rose fritters.

Consideration.

Next to the woman with too many
buttons on her dress we have the

as careless as the human pincushion,
who always attires herself in gar
ments fastened with safety or white
headed pins. Hooks and eyes are con-
venient, and we wonder how we could
do without them, but they are sadly
abused. Hooks and eyes must fit close

Saucepan Hat.

The fashionable back" trimming on
the spring millinery is already becom-

moderate sized bow or feather which
was placed at a moderate angle at the
back of tie hat But the feather and
bow have increased to an alarming
extent, and the angle at the back has
become ridiculous. When this trim
ming is allied to small round shaped
hat the effect is reminiscent of an in

style is not exaggerated, the fashion
