"Non-de- Script" Reception.

One of the largest and most
tastefully managed receptions of
club and social life was that of
the "Non-de-Script" Club on
Friday evening last. The club
entertained at the home of their
president, Mrs. John Tritsch, and
during the three hours the parlors
were thronged with guests. The
club color pink, and the fragrant
flowers in decoration with masses
Of foliage were suggestive OF this
roseate hue. In the dining room,
where carnations and smilax were
intertwined, ices and cakes were
served in the different hours by
Misses Rochester, Montgomery,
Lytle, Welty, Watkins, Brooke,
Larimer and Sanderson, and Mrs.
Walter Rochester. At the punch
bowl were Misses Hamblin, Nc
Cormick, Taylor and Tritsch, and
at the register Miss Speelman.
Favors were pinned by Josephine
Henderson and Myrtle Morgan.
Among out-of-town guests were
Mesdames Wells and Welch of
Nelsonville, Mozell and Kontner OF
Columbus, Truesdale of Buffalo
and Collins of Chicago.

TREAT CITY FOR PADLOCkS.
Phenomenal Way In Which They Flour ish at Irkutsk.

M Irkutsk, the accepted capita, of ori-
 ental Siberia, is city Of padlocks. It
 has only about 51 900 inhabitants, yet
 there are more padloeks on the shut
 ters and doors of Irkutsk stores than { ean be found in an American city cs
 200 000 There are as many as three 9padlocks on some store doors, and
 Every lower story shutter bears from
 oDe to five. The paddock weighs from
 pne to fifteen pounds. The popular ssize Is five pounds and two and one.
 half inches thick, says the Chicago Record. The closing of q store is an
 Affair of consequence. The heavy shut #ters are swung together, the ponderous
 Iron sbars are put in place, the padloeks
 ere adjusted and locked, and then
 comes the final and serious ceremony
 of locking the door, The door is shut, 5the bars are placed, and the padleck is
 fixed and locked, and the verdant
 stranger thinks the closing operation is ever. 1t is not. A piece of cord is
 drawn through the hasL of the paddock, and the two ends are held against the
 Coor by clerk or boy, while the pro. .prietor melts a piece of sealing wax and sticl.s the ends t. the door, On the hot wax he places hisprlvate stamp. IA promenade on an Irkutsk business
 street after closing time shows the bhuge padloeks. the two hnes of string X and fat dab of red wax as big as a N silver dollar. In case sealing wax is s dispensed with, the paddock is tied iD a rag, the string being knotted in { peculiar way. The business man oi

Openings for merioa.

Within the next few years there will be tremendous opportunities for civil, mechanical and electrical engineers in Asia. When the Chinese east the first railway from Shanghai to Woosuns into the river they were only preparing themselves for a network of railways oyer the whole of China. When the Koreans in Seoul destroyed the new electric line and burned the cars they exhausted the forces of conservatism, and before long concluded that the electric railway was the best scheme for saving extra eXertion in walking that had ever been devised. .-@Ainslees Magazine.

tsed In Place of the Sun to Fix the
 Time of Day.
 Probably the majority of people sup pose that the obseryatories obtain the correct time from the sun. When the average man wishes to give his watch the highest praise he says, Tt regu- 1ates the sun,' not being aware that q watch which would keep with tho sun around the year would have to be nearly as bad as Captain Cuttles 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 he was. In other words, the sun that is, a sundial-is only correct on intervening times gets as far as 8 whole quarter hour fast or slow, ac- eord5Sg So Appleton's Populai Science Monthly. There are several hundred stars whose positions have been estab. lished with the greatest accuracy by the most careful observations at . humber of the principal observatories of the world. If stars exact posi- ton is known, it can readily be cal. culated when 1t will pass the meridian of any given place-that .s. the in- stant 1t will cross a north and south line through the place. The data re- garding these stars are all published in the nautical almanacs, which are got out by several different obserra- tions for the Use Of navigators and all others who have uses for them. These stars are known as clock st2rs"

To Erclud. Eastern Consumptives.

It is interesting to note that Califor. nia physicians are fixed in their hope of some time excluding eastern con- sumptives from the state. The sub. ject, which has been discussed a num- Der of times in the last few months, was again taken up at meeting ot the state board of health a few days ago. Dr. Louis Bazet, of the board read a paper on the dangers of tuber, eulosis as a contagious disease threat ening California. He said that be- tween 10000 and 50,000 consumptiyes entered California annually, and each of these persons helped to spread the iise9Se germs
