A complete show for one hundred nights, with change of scenes every
time. With pieces of card-board inserted in a simple wooden standard,
shadows are cast upon a paper screen, producing silhouettes of a most
pleasing character. The comical effect secured by the mere change of a
hat on a figure is wonderful, and cannot be understood without a trial.
With this toy a bright boy or girl may afford unlimited entertainments
to an entire family circle, from the baby of two years to the
grandparent of eighty. And still better, it affords occupation to the
child in its preparation, and development to his inventive faculties in
its exhibition. Price 25 cents. Postage 8 cents extra.

Given for new subscriptions amounting to 50 cents.

appropriately painted. Price 25 cents. Postage and packing, 20 cents

Changing tunes while spinning. The latest novelty in tops. By touching
