SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES.
Taking a Prominent Part in Develop
ment Of British Nation.

The prince Of Wales's visit to Glas-
gov to inaugurate the university ex.
tension buildings once more appro-
priately emphasizes the important
part which Scottish universities are
taking in the development Of the ma
tional life. This is the second en-.
largement which Glasgow has been
compelled to make within half cen.
tury. The university, too, has behind
It quite a venerable air of antiquity,
as we'll as the hallmark Of modern
utility. Its foundation dates back -four
centuries and a half, and, like all the
Scottish universities except Edin
burgh, which is a post-reformation
royal foundation, it owes its existence
to ancient ecclesiastical authority In
point of age. however, Glasgow holds
only second place in Scotland's hon
orable academic record. Aberdeen

Country Manual Training.

Even manual training needs new
direction as it touches country life 1t
may not be necessary to eliminate the
formal exercises OF model work and
weaving and The like; but some OF the
practical problems Of the home and
farm may be added
How 10 make a garden, to lay out
paths. make fences and labels, are
manual training problems. How to
saw board on straight, to drive a
nail, to whittle a peg, to make a tooth
for hand hay rake, to repair a hoe,

hang gate. 10 adjust a plow point,
to mend strap, to prune an apple
tree. to harness a horse-the problems
are bewildering from their very mum

Chinese Empress Retains YOUTH 81
Use Of Cosmetics and Whip

Nowhere does woman, whether
the most beautiful, most courted or
most intriguing. make a more elabor
ate or iasudious toilet than does Tsu
Hsi. dowager empress OF China, the
Flowery Realm.
Isu Hsi is IN her seventy-fourth
year; her fatterers tell her she looks
like 25; her enemies reluctantly but
truthfully confess she looks ike As
Her beauty is only a tradition to-day,
but authentic accounts Of it describe
her in her youth as tall, big-eyed
black-haired, finely formed.
No fewer than nine young ladies Of
the imperial suite assist at the EN-
press toilet It is doubtful if the best
ebeautiiera in Paris, the most expert
restorer Of youth" ia all Europe
knows more about paint, powder, and
cosmetics than these nine noble hand
laaidens. And their intense desire to
please Tsu Hsi rarely flags. When it
does the empress thrashes them With
rattan on most sensitive surfaces.
First, the weil-born lady's maids
cover the empress face with deli
cate, creamy composition, then they
rouge her until her cheeks flame in
the @autumnal glory Of enchanting
womanhood. Their task completed,
tentatively, a great mirror is rolled to
the couch on which reclines the
source Of all good, the font Of all pow
er." Tsu Hsi studies her acquired com
plexion most critically. Perhaps II
does not bloom sufficiently; then her
rattan comes in play; sometimes her
maids rouge her imperial majesty
twice or thrice before her appearance
realizes her ideal and satisfies her in
tense vanity. The monotony Of the toll
let is varied by lively song, the recital
of poems, the narration Of court Cos

CHINESE KITES ARE WONDERS
one Ingenious Device Was Made te
Represent q Huge csntipsd

One Ingenious Device Was Made to
Represent a Huge centipsd.
Probably the most wonderful and
Ingenious achievement of a Chinese
kitemaker is designed to represent a
gigantic centiped. says q writer IN the
World To-day. This is unquestionabiy
the longest and most fantastic amuse-
ment device that has ever been con
structed for aerial flight From head
to tail it measures nearly 40 feet, and
Is made to fold up accordionlike. The
fierce large head Of the creature. with
long protruding horns, huge eyes and
gaping mouth, forms the front Of the
kite This is the gem and marvel Of
the whole collection and entirely new
to the eyes Of the western world.
Its construction is as follows. Ex-
tending from head to tail and consti-
tuting the body portion are a series of
bamboo sticks running crosswise to
the center, to which are fastened 25
or more pasteboard disks foot OF
more in diameter These are painted
in circles Of black, yellow and white
representing the an-seeing eyes Of this
NEUROLOGICAL creature. A tail portion
Of narrow strips is fastened to the
last piece Of bamboo BY a mechanical
contrivance the curved pieces Of paste
board forming the eyes are made to
reyolye by the wind while the kite Is
being flown. Seen in the air, the ser
pentinelike motion, its huge gIaring
eyes swiftly twirling in their sockets,
the effect is said to be astonishingly
realistic, producing quite an awe-in
spring scene, to the Chinese mind at
least While being flown a cord is at
tached to three or more points of its
length, IN order to keep it under con
troll In strong wind, several men
are required to hold the reel Tn.
