OLD MORAVIAN CHURCH. 



A NEAT SOUVENIR. 



Make a 4 x 5 negative, of a leaf of any 

 kind, or a bunch of flowers with long 

 stems, against a white background. A 

 large card will answer. 



When the negative is dry cover a part of 

 it, about 1^2 x 2 inches, with a piece of 

 black paper, by pasting it on the negative. 

 This will leave a pure white space, on 

 which any small landscape or portrait 

 may be printed by covering the first part 

 printed with black paper, in which an open- 

 ing has been cut the exact size of the piece 

 which covered the first negative. 



In this manner large prints may be re- 

 duced and by double printing any variety 

 of designs may be obtained. 



Care must be taken to print both the 

 same depth; also to match the opening. 

 The latter is important, for if not neatly 

 done a white margin will show in the fin- 

 ished print. A. C. 



Old Winter comes upon the scene 

 With rumble, rush and roar; 



And just behind him comes the chap 

 Who never shuts the door. 



—Truth.

 against hard times." 



" What is he doing now? " 



" He's kicking against prosperity."
