The Empress. of Japan.

In the matter of the emancipation of
japanese women it Is not generally
known that the lady who has done
more than anybody else for her sex in
the land of the chrysanthemum is the
present japanese Empress. Her influ-
ence has been exerted in small things
as in large. She has entirely revolu-
tionized the education of girls. and
the cornerstone wi be put on the syg-
tenn early next year by the opening of
a university for women in Toxic. 1t
was she who, in the early seventies
by her example, put an end to the old
custom of married women blackening
their teeth. From the western point
OF view the most commendable inno-
vation for which her majesty has
been responsible Is the introduction Of
European dress in place Of the fault
less costume of Japan. Still, there is
even a reason for this. the contention
being that Japanese lady Is treated
more respectfully by her husband
when, she Is in European dress than

Principle of Magic Squares.

Magic squares of odd numbers in
which the figures added In perpendicu-
lar, horizontal or diagonal rows make
the same sum are found in books OF
puzzles. but the principle on which
they are based is never given.
There Is a principle. and it is ap-
plicable without limit. from one square
to any odd number OF squares indef-
nitely. For illustration, twenty-five
squares are given and the sum Of each
of its rows of figures perpendicularly,
horizontally or diagonally is sixty five.
Now for the rule. Always write
your numbers consecutively, diagonal
ly, upward, to the right. II that direc-
ton carries you outside Of the squares,
then so to the opposite end of the
row at which you stand. If you reach
square that is occupied. or the upper
right hand corner. then drop to the
square below the last one used, and
proceed as before. Begin with l in the
upper center square Now try 1t.
Scissors That Arc Always Keen.
A decided novelty in the shears and
scissors line, that will especially rec
ommend itself to women, has Just
been perfected by Chicago concern.
The invention consists of spring
connecting the blades of the scissors.
but which prevents them from loosen
ing or falling apart while in use. The
spring keeps the tension of the blades
steady and continuous. and its action
has the further effect OF producing an
edge that always remains as sharp as
razor Another popularity of the
device Is that the scissors can be used
with either hand and that 1t will cut
the strongest or the flimsiest material,
as the cloth cannot slip from the
grasp of the keen blades.

Gov. shaw Answer. in,.rrup,er.

A story is told Of Governor Shaw
OF Iowa in last years campaign. Popu-
lists in the audience were asking a
good many questions, especially one
half-drunken fellow. Gov. Shaw an
swered patiently and bided his time.
A man well down in front insisted on
asking question every five minutes
on an average. He usually prefaced
them by such remarks as. Just a
minute. please" or Let me interrupt
for minute" In an unhappy moment
he broke in with. Pardon me. but"
Before he could finish, the Governor,
rather self-satisfled look spreading
over his face. replied: well, I've par.
doned lots worse fellows than you in
my time. and suppose 1t would be un-
Just to draw the line here"
Pretty girls can see no reason why
other people should not judge by ap-
pearances.
