In the early university period there
were no salaricd teachers, no lecture halls,
no separate buildings whatever. In the
first years of the University of Glasgow,
for instance, theology and law were
taught Ia the crypt Of the cathedral
where church and academy were evident

buildings for instruction and residence
was soon felt. The idea of distinct col

age Of novelties, truly! One of the
newest and the prettiest in a summer
material, lace bingham. It is made up
only in the delicate colors, as indeed is
everything this spring. The nice part
about this material is that it is really
lacey from one selvage to the other and
has only al a body tiny satin stripes
running through it. The meshes are
necessarily rather heavy, which adds
to the prettiness of the material.

In the latter part of 1880, at time
when the Washington monument had
reached height OF 1G0 feet, an adyen-
turous and patriotic cat assembled the
interior of the shaft by means of the
ropes and tubing. When the wOrkmen
arrived at the upper landing the next
morning and began to prepare for the
days work, pussy took fright and,
springing to the outer edge, took n
"header'' of 1GO feet TO the hard earth
below. In the descent. which was
watched closely by twOscore of men,
the cat spread herself out like flying
squirrel and alighted on all tours. Aft
er turning over on the soil n few times
in 4 dazed manner she prepared to
leave the grounds.
She had got almost beyond the shad-
ow of the monument when dog be-

the dead feline. smoothed out her silky
coat and turned the remains over to a
