1t is to be hoped that the business
meeting of the Social Club will be RelI
attended on next Tuesday evening,
! April 8. A mistaken idea is that the
meetings are for the officers only. Every
member OF the club Is duty bound to
attend the business meetings, as well
as the social meetings. All cake and
coffee" without business will cause the
club to result disastrously.
The music section Of the Ladies' Lit
erary club held its regular meeting at
the clubhouse on "wednesday morning
at 10 O'clock A very interesting pro-
gramIne was given. One of the best
numbers was a duo by Mrs. Jay John
son and Miss Luce. Miss Luce IS one
Of the most enthusiastic members Of
the club, and Is interchangeable in her
efforts to give an artistic programme.
On last Sunday-the feast of the An
nunciation-the affairs were beautifully
decorated. The ladies of the Altar So
ciety sent quantities Of flowers, and
the altar of the Blessed Virgin was q
beautiful bower Of white and green,
with the greeting Hail Mary in flow
ers and smiax at the foot of the statue.
The ladies Of the society who attended
Mrs. K. Kinsefla, Mrs. Z. J. Pratt, Mrs.
T. O'Rourke and Mrs. c. Schultz.

Used in Place of the Sun to Fix Chs
 Time of Bay.
 Probably the majority of people SUD- pose that the observatorfes obtain the correct time from the sun. When the average man wishes to give his watch the highest praise he says, Ut rega- 1ates the sun" not being aware that watch which would keep with the sun around the year would have to bs nearly as bad as Captain Guttle's. The farmer may safely decide when to go to dinner by the sun. but if the mariner was as confident that the sun marked always the correct time as the farmer is he would be sure to be at times 200 or 300 miles from where he thought be was, h other words, the sun that is, a sundial-is only correct on a few days in each year, and during the intervening times gets as far as a whole quarter hour fast or slow, ac- eerding to Appleton's PopHlaK Science Monthly. There are several hundred stars whose positions have been estab. lished with the greatest accuracy by the most careful observations at a number of the principal obserYatories of the world, If stars exact posi- ton is known, it can readily be cal culated when it will pass the meridian of any given place-that is, the in- etant 1t will cross a north and south line Through the place. The data res garding these stars are all published in the nautical almanaes, which are got out by several different observa- tions for the use of navigators and all others who have uses for them. These stars are known as "clock starS."

Changes in the Text of shakesps@'e''
 Great Play.

Two tragedies were given by the gepanese players at the Boston theateF recently, and the author of both-ha- yakami-p1ayed the leading part ln each. Japanese playWrights are cer" tainly versatile, and when the amount of physical labor involved in these tra- gedies is considered, they cannot De said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea or "The Merchant of Venice" which the author attempts to show in "Salroku and in which he plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected. It might be called Wear1- some in places, owing to the Protractee dialogue and insufficient pantomlme to clearly indicate what the people were talking about. The main features ai the play are copied, with some changes. Thus the Jewish miser becomes Ja- panese miserly fisherman, the pound or flesh is three square inches,o to be cut off nearest the heart of the lover O. (. miser's daugAter, who has borrow C. 5000 rio under the pledge of flesh f feitare; and an older daughter is C. Portia who becomes the judge and l== tes the lovers life. The play ends L..ppily in the repentance of Siroku, though not before the tragic element is devolved in the suicide of the young CT daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill ard is called Scarlet Snow is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence of his signing a treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-te-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is s study of muscular realism on the stage The play is -iven entirely by the men, but in "siroku" two ladies of the con- pany, sada Yacco and Mikami, give de. llghtfu1 performances as the tive daughters.

English women Play Solitaire.

Ladies Of the royal court of England, rom the queen down, are playing the ald-time game of "patience, known as solitaire in this country. Every spare minute is taken up with one or he other of the hundred varieties of the game. Patience" boards, enabling one 10 play the game on the knees, are covered with colored satin. embroidered with various suits of the cards Pock- cts are arranged for the pack, and a book of directions accompanies each board The board enables the player sa stop game at any point and return 10 it later without losing her place But it is doubtful if the fad will take n this country. It requires a vivid Imagination to conjure up such a spectacle as roomful of American women playing solitaire.

According to Billings, Mont, dis patch in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, John Johnson, known throughout the west as Liver Eating Johnson" a gov ernment scout and spy, and who is be- lieyed to have killed more Indians than any other man, either living or dead. that ever rode the arid wastes of the west, reached this city recently en route to the soldiers home at Los An geles. He recognized the ossified man found in the Missouri river, near Fort Banton about a year ago, as being the petrification of man he knew at Fort Benton. The petrifcation looks as nat ural as life. It will go east from here, and then to the Paris exposition.

 barism Inhabit Great Areas.
 The trip of the United States gum boat Wilmington up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one Of the achievements of the closing cen tury. The commercial object of the Wilmington's cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state. and what manner of man 1t was who dWelt in the remote fastnesses Of the great forests whence it came. During the gunboat's stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indiana were found to be apparently docile, but there was no mistaking their unciVtl- ized state. Clothing, save strip or two, worn by the women, are unknown. The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-colored, of middle height, with well shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair is black, straight and rather coarse, the features broad, eheekbones not generally prominent, eyes black, and, strange to say, some- times oblique like those of the Tartar races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea- pons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow The bows are of great length, and in the hands of 8 skilled native can be made formidable. In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors found curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved to be mummif1ed human heads. This was significant, inasmueh as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" a term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads Of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remove ing the skull and treating It with cer- tain herbs Until the head has been re- duced to about one-sixth of it's original size. The hair and features are pre- served intant, thus giving the head 8 very life-1ike appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs, upon which are recorded the details of the battle.

The Scent Cure,

Interesting experiments with the odors of herbs have from time to time been made, and it has been found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various smells. The odor of cloves has been Known to destroy microbes in thirty. nve minutes; cinnamon will kill some species in thirty-five minutes; thyme in thirty-fye. In forty-fve minutes common wild verbena is found effective, while the odor of mint has destroyed various forms of microbes za S17SSy-fve minutes, and it is recorded &ss tsae most effective of all odors as aa estiseptic. It is now be- lieved that herbs which have been found in Egyptian mummies %ere placed on the bodies more for their antiseptie properties than as mere of@ pamer U or objects of sentiment
