IX LIFE OF TSI AW, THE KHPKES8
Nov. 13. The rmperor of i ever, extended sufficiently to cause
ported dead at 4 o'clock tbe granting of a more liberal con-
stitution this year. It also has en-
gendered the Chinese sentiment
against any combination with Japan
and has given the celestial empire a
chapce for looking up.
Pek
China
this afternoon. It had, however, been
impossible to secure official confir-
mation of this announcement up to 6
o'clock this evening.
The em]>eror was transferred to the
death chamber at 2 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. At that time he was still
breathing.
Two imperial edicts were issued
from the palace this afternoon in
quick succession. The first makes
Prince Chun regent of the empire
and the second appoints his son, Pu
Wei, heir presumptive.
Prince Chun is a brother of the
emperor. His name is Tsai-Feng. and
be succeeded to the title of his father,
Prince Cun, In 1891. He is a lieuten-
ant general of the Plain White Ban-
ner Corps and visited Germany in
1601 as a special commissioner of the
throne.
This last illness of the emperor as-
sumed a serious aspect a fortnight
ago. It was then declared that be
was suffering from a grave intestinal
complaint. He has persistently re-
fused to accept Western medical at-
tendance, although medical men at-
tached to the legations here have
Btood ready to give their services.
It is reported that the dowager em-
press also is dying. This rumor, if
true, would explain the two edicts
issued late thiB afternoon regarding a
regency for the empire.
Kwangsu or Kuang Hsu, as the two
forms of transileration from the Chi-
nese make the emperor's name, was a
boy ruler—a boy king in the false
dawn of a revolution—and that pretty
nearly tells his tragic story. A revo-
lutionist at heart, seated on a totter-
ing throne a little too early for suc-
cess, Kwangsu paid the penalty of
advanced thought. He waB intellec-
tual, dreamerish and weak, a com-
bination dangerous at best, but ac-
tually suicidal with such influences as
those of the corrupt mandarins and
that Imperial Lucretla Borgia, the
dowager empress, about.
The emperor had a smattering of
Western knowledge from childhood,
for he came to the throne, If not to
the actual regency, at 4 years. It was
the dawn of the Occidental Invasion
and the emperor was infected. As
soon as he came into actual power he
began to study Western ideals in his
hermited, primitive way. Anything
from across the oceans, whether it
was a SwisB watch, an American bi-
cycle, a German military treatise, an
English Bible or an American book,
interested the young emperor intense-
ly. Hedged about with every care and
convention to guard against the very
things which Kwangsu was intellec-
tual enough to strive for, he still per-
sisted arni did gain knowledge of
what other nations were doing to
rather a remarkable degree of ad-
vancement. Western mechanics were
particularly an absorbing matter of
interest with the emperor.
So it came about that the young
emperor became himself an apostle of
reformation and change. In one day
he deprived r.000 loafers In Pekln of
their corruptly held positions where
they mulcted the more corrupt gov-
ernment of fat salaries. He reformed

the army, rebuilt the navy, after the
crushing defeat at the hands of Japan
in 1S95, and made general progress
toward enlightenment and prosperity.
One Chinese authority says that It Is
impossible to find in theedicts of the
emperor a single reform which woul l
not have worked for the improvement
of the people.
But no Eastern monarch, from Tur-
key to Korea, has successfully insti-
tuted reforms against the machination
of a corrupt court or clergy withovit
ruin to himself, since the days of the
somewhat mythical Harouh al Rasch-
Id. The common fate was that of
Kwangsu. in 1898 he was deposed by
the dowager empress and the corrupt
mandarins and Borne unknown Man-
chu prince made regent. It was a
mere joke on the people, which per-
mitted the dowager to rule.
Kwangsu, born in 1871, had come
to the throne on the death of his
father In 1875. I'ntil 188< the dowa-
ger reigned It) his stead, but she was
then forced to give way for the real
sovereign. Thus for only eleven years

your yard, or do you know where you
can procure a number of the nuts?
If so, follow these directions and
make some little children happy.
Two nuts are required for each
doll, but if you desire to make sev-
eral, allow a few extra ones, as you
will, perhaps, spoil some. A small-
sized gimlet, or a sharp pointed pen-
knife and some toothpicks will be
necessary in the process of creation.
Remove the outer shells from the
nuts and select for heads those whose
points at blossom end will make the
most shapely noses. With pen or
pencil draw eyes, mouth, ear3 and
hair. The last should be drawn in
conformity with the crown of the
head, which is plainly discernible.
With gimlet or knife make a small
hole in the head at place where neck
should join. In the nut which is to
constitute the body five holes must
be bored for junction of arms, legs
and neck, the one for the last being
made in the base of the nut and the
others placed accordingly. Join head
and body together with a piece of
toothpick, insert toothpicks for arms
and legs, breaking them to proper
length, and behold the baby au natu-
ral.
In dressing the doll, for undercloth-
ing other than petticoat, use your own
ingenuity. French tissue paper is
used In making petticoat and dress-
white for the former, and some bright
color for the latter—and they are cut
teen inch square of paper cut a large
sized circle, or one whos - diameter
is fifteen inches. This is most easily
done by folding the paper four times
and cutting.
Keep the paper folded and slash
the bottom at close and regular inter-
vals to the depth of one inch to form
a fringe, then fold and refold along
altitudinal lines as many times as
you can and press lengthwise in the
hands. Next unfold the paper and.
with the central point as an apex, let
it fall loosely like the folds of
umbrella and again crush lengthwise
in the hands. This process completes
the body of the dress or petticoat,
but it is best to treat each square of
paper separately.
Remove arms and head from the
doll, leaving neck joined to the body.
Slip first the petticoat, then the dress
over the body, pushing the toothpick
neck through the center of each and
taking care to tear paper as little as
possible; then replace the head.
Fringe short, narrow strips of white
and colored paper and wrap them
around the upper parts of the arms
using the white first. Adjust dress
and skirt gracefully around the body
and force the arms through the paper
into the holes from which they were
removed, then tie a sash of dainty rib-
bon around the waist.
An acorn cup will serve nicely as a
cap, or with the aid of needle and
thread paper caps can be made in
mosst any style desired.
