He had had a laundry agency in the town in which he had formerly lived, but had been forced to give it up when his family moved. Dick got the job and made his word good too.

CLASS FOUR--SECOND PRIZE. How Education Could Be Improved. When one thinks of education as it was in early Canada, be realizes how fortunate we are now to have well-formed teachers and good edu- cational institutions. The schools of planeer days were barns or old houses and the teachers were usually army veterans who thought severity the principal asset of a good teacher. Notwithstanding the improvements whic we have to-day, there is room for more, and these I would suggest: Instead of learning Ancient His- tory, would it not be better to be able to tell more about 'thé events which have taken place recently, within the past century or two, throughout the whole world? Eng- lish legislature of to-day is baged on that of Rome, but why not on facts which have to do with the mak- "I have been trying for twenty long years to find a medicine that wenld overcome my troubles, but my efforts failed me completely until I commenced taking Tanlac," was the remarkable statement made recently by Mrs. Alice McCluskey, residing at No. 66 Park street, Lewiston, Me, a well-known and most highly respect- ed woman of that city. "I just feel like I would give the world to meet everyone who suffers as I did and tell them about this medicine, If I could only have got- ten Tanlac twenty years ago it would have saved me a lot of suffering and money. "My principal trouble was indiges- tion, and for many years I could not 'eat meat or pastries for I would most 'ways suffer afterward. I would most always have a distressed feeling after ating and nothing seemed to agree with me. Then, to add to the rest of my suffering 1 contracted rheuma- tism in my shoulders and hips and the awful pains I suffered can never be told in words. .

The results of their efforts resemble very much the work of a hand-organ, very me- chanical. Few can read well, putting in the proper expression and making the reading interesting to the, lis- tener. Another suggestion would be less homework. I do not mean to abol- ish homework, No, I would allow a considerable amount, perhaps enough to keep the pupil busy for one hour, but not enough to keep the student wp until late at night. This would make school better liked by the aver- age pupil and would encourage more children to attend school and not leave it at the age of fourtreen or fifteen. A good plan to improve education would be to have chiliren come to the libraries, where librarians would relate the best child stories. Children who would otherwise never know the best literature and who would never read it themselves, would listen de- lightfully and it would put "Diamond Dick" out of fashion before he was introduced to young people. There are toc many subjects on the curriculum. The children have to hurry through the subjects so as to accomplish the desired amount of work.

One day as Billy Ant and Freddy Ant were out minding their cows they spied an old grasshopper doz- ing on a blade of grass. "Sleepy head!" cried Billy Ant. "Better wake up or a bird will gob- ble you up." "Indeed!" laughed Freddy Ant, loud enough for Grandpa Grasshop- per to hear him. "No bird would stop even to give him a look, he's so] very plain-looking. Why, his suit's 80 dusty that a bird would almost take him for a lump of dirt."

One day a British officer was cross- ing a bridge over the Seine river in Paris, when a little poodle dog, who was very*muddy, rubbed himself against the officer's boots. The of- ficer saw a bootblack near who cleaned his boots; he went away and thought nothing of the incident. A few days later he crossed the same bridge and the same muddy little poodle did the same thing over again. The same bootblack was there so he had him clean his boots again. The 'officer thought it was rather funny so he stayed and watched the poodle and saw that it treated all gentlemen the same way, then he understood. He went up:to the boot- black and Guestioned. ifivund at last the officer succeeded getting it out of him; The bootblack had train- ed the dog to get all muddy and then wipe his dripping hair on people's boots.

The monkey then began to say things about the cat's paws which the cat liked very well "Your paws are just, like our mas- ter's hands," said the monkey pres- ently. The cat then put his paw in to get a chestnut and he burnt it but he did not want the monkey to say his paws weren't like his mas- ter's hands so he tried aXain, and this time he got a chestnut out, then he got a second one out and then a third ome, but he burnt some of the fur off his paw each time. When he looked back to see where the chestnuts were, he found no chestnuts there, for the monkey had eaten them .all.--Dovothy Scriver, Junior IIL, Central School ; age 11 years. ~ A True Hero. At the bottom of a Cornish mine two men were busy at fixing the shot for blasting. The assistant at the top could only pull one man at a time up. So when everything was ready the first man was to jump in the basket and be pulled up. Then the basket would be lowered and the second man would light the fuse and jump into the basket as quickly as possible. Well, it happened that just as they were about to be hauled up one man thought the fuse too long. He cut it with a flat and a sharp stone. But as he was'"cuiting it a : flew and set the fuse on fire. This happened while both men were at the bottem. They shouted with might and main to the man at the top and he sprang into the basket. But the man at the windlass could not pill both up, so Will said, "Sit still, Jack, I will stay at the bottom." Will stayed at bottom and Jack avg, was pulled up. had dly time to get out of the basket before he heard the explosion. When it was over they eagerly descended to find Will, as though saved by God's hand, eovered by rocks arched over him.

I may 'look sleepy. Now be quick, hop upon my back, and I'll take you to safety. Mr. Spider will be back shortly, and there's no telling what might happen.' Grandpa Grasshopper spread out his gray-green, dusty wings, and the ant boys nearly tumbled off the leaf in their surprise, for instead of being ugly, Grandpa Grasshopper was very beautiful. His wings had a broad lemon-colored band" on them, and they were almost as gay as a butter- fly's wiagae. He saw the surprised look on the ant boys' faces and laughed. "You see, I just wear this dusty overcoat to protect my dress coat," he laughed. "Looks never worry me. It's deeds that count.' You're for- given for your rudeness. Hop upon my wings."

"If you were a little older, you would invented a few years ago it was so wonder t aimost everyone knew how it worked. And in the early pic- a re was e se the res flickered so that they gave the secret away. A motion picture is a series of thou- sands of Jhiotograph, taken an instant apart and each just a little different from the next, thrown before you one after another, so fast and so perfectly that they melt into one picture and make you think that you are watching one picture in which persons are mov- ing. Each picture in camera is shout as large as a special deli age stamp, and hundreds of them are taken, one above the other, on a long strip of. celluloid. This strip is called a movie plays are called 'film plays." e Aba a be rolled on one big camera spool is called a 'reel,' and so we speak of two-reel and five-reel plays because of the amount of film used in showing them. "The moving picture camera is a :omplicated affair, with two film reels, a 4rank, and an automatic shutter, As the camera man takes the picture, he turns the crank to wind the film from one reel to the other; and, as he cranks, the film passes in front of a shutter that keeps opening to take a different picture on each inch of film, so many per second. Then the film is taken to a laboratory to be de- veloped, Another film, or 'positive,' must be printed from it, just as we print kodak pictiires. "In the theatre, the film is cranked again. The proiector, or lantern, has two reels, like the camera, and the cranking, which'is now usually done by an electric motor, brings the pictures one after another between a powerful light and a lens. ' They are thus magni- fied to large size and thrown on a screen in rapid succession. In early moving pictures the change from one picture to the next resulted in a notice- able flicker on the screen, but improved cameras and projectors have practically done away flicker and you can no count the pictures as they are thrown before you."

The average boy craves good, strong friendships, and particularly does he appreciate the friendly interest of a |] man whom he admires and respects. Boys like to be noticed. Naturally affable and warm-hearted, they are quick to sense the lack of friendly feeling on the part of anyone with whom they come in contact. Too take notice of the boy. He issues orders in a cold-blooded manner and expects perfect obedience. He does not try to encourage the boy; he does tionship. The employer is not omly failing to do his duty, but he is showing don and enthusiasm which is always prompted by love and respect.
