He made his name v v-' as a scout and guide during the Cifll War when the man who ventured into the unknown country carried his life In his hand! He originated the wonderful “Wild West Show” which every boy manages to see! His right name is Col. Wil- liam F. Cody. But maybe you have often wondered how and Where he got the title of “Buffalo Bill.” It isn’t just a mythical name which he adopt- ed because he liked it. Away back in 1857, Col. Cody made a contract with the Kansas Pacific railroad to supply its employes with all the meat needed while the line was being constructed. He carried out this agreement. In 18 months he killed 4,280 buffalo. Th: Name’s Origir. The men in camp and the men on the range knew this and thought it such a woxdorful achievement that they nickna‘xmd the colonel “Buffalo Bill.” The name stuck to him and now the promo hardly remembers that he has any other title. “Buffalo Till“ was born in Iowa, Rb. 26, 1M 3. and he came naturally by his low of “all out doors."

Beats 3 Magic Lantern Because Glass Slides Not Needed Why spend money to buy a magic lantern when you can make a post- card reflector yourself at trifling cost? Moreover, the posth reflector has In advantage over the common magic lantern, in that with it you can throw on the screen, postcards, photographs, Insects, pierced flowers, etc, in their natural colors, without going to the expense of buying slides. In Fig. 1 is shown the “insides” of B postcard reflector that is within the ability of anyone to make. The main part is a box ebout 8:12:14 inches. The box should be light tight and a lid should be provided for it. The in- side is stained a deed black with ink, or a mixture of turpentine and lamp- black. Be sure to get 311 portions of the inside well blacked. Now with the lid off. and the box lying on its side. place a curved re- flector (A) in one corner, and fasten It firmly to the bottom by the tabs left for the purpose. The shape of this reflector is shown in Fig. 3. Next let a lamp up close to the reflector and cut a hole directly above to allow the chimnev to go on. The reflector should be made of. very bright tin. Now light the lamp and put the cover on the box, noting where the reflection thrown on it is brightest, and directly opposite this point cut a hole to receive a slip tube containing a double convex lens. The size may range from two to three or even five inches in diameter, but the hole cut must be, of course, similar to the size of the lens you use. The tube can be made from sheet iron or anything that happens to be the right diameter and three or four inches long. Fig. 5 shows its general shape. A POSTCARD REFLECTOR ‘â€" When this is done, fasten a couple of metal clamps, cut from tin so that they will hold a card firmly against the back or the lid of the box right where the reflected light is brightest. Fig. 4 shows how they work and the shape to which they are bent. An- other pair may be put a little lower for holding cards on which the view ls lengthwise. Now hinge the cover to the bottom board and at the top fasten a friction clip, as shown in Fig. 6, for holding the back shut While the card is in position. Fig. 2 explains what is meant by a double convex lens. These are the kind used in reading glasses and the two-inch size is listed by deal. era for 40 cents each. , Study this diagram carefully I76. 1. FIG Mr. Robt.

AL RESPONSIBILITIES OF OUR FOREFATHERS. The value of a good, clean an- cestry, and the awful drawback casioned as the result of a defec- tive one, has been shown in a striking Way by recent researches into family history. The good and the bad. appear to be perpetuated during many generationsâ€"the bad, especially, as it Were fulfilling the commandment that the sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children into the third, and fourth generations. The value of being Well born is beyond compare, and it becomes the duty of parents to assure it for their children. Among the families whose families have been minutely and carefully traced, two stand out in instructive contrast. In 1740, according to the records of the eugenists, a woman was born named Ada Take. True to her name, she took everything there was to be had. in the way of liber- ties and licenses. She died a con- firmed drunkard, and altogether she had. 709 descendants. Among them were 100 children born out 0'5 wedlock, 181 women of immoral life. .142 beggars, 46 workhouse inmates and 76 criminals. It has been estimated that this woman cost the country $1,200,000. By way of contrast, the Ladies’ Home Journal tells of an English- man, born in Queen Elizabeth’s timeâ€"a clergyman with a good Wife. In the year 1900 there hat‘. been 1,394 descendants 'of this family traced and identified.

Nothing could show more clearly the importance of good birth not only to the family, but to the state. If all cases of defective her- edity could be eliminated, sociai problems would1 be more easily and effectually solved. The great per- sonal lesson is that it pays to live a clean life, if parents have the good. of their children at heart. H orse for Sale BRIGHT BAY HORSE RISING 5 years, from good trotting stock.
