A MAN named Harris has discovered
and successfully developed a process by
which he converts old steel rails into
good, frstclass iron. lie has located in
Sunbury and organized a stock company
10 manufacture this new process of iron.
Ihe company has secured the old mill in
5nat town and on Wednesday last the
first experiment in that mill was made.
II proved successful, and it is thought
That the process can be operated to pay
nicely, The great advantage of this new
process is that all the worn-out steel rails
can be used to manufacture iron. The
steel is decarbonized and turned back
into iron from which it originated.

lsh chestnuts seen in the markets. The
pins are stuck in around the edge. The
tiny decorated rolling pins, etc, once pop
ular for key racks, have been superseded by
wood or composition oak and maple leaves
painted and veined in the natural colors
Several small gilt hooks are fastened on
the face of the leaf to hold the keys, and
the leaf is hung up by the stem. Some
thing decidedly new are the white applique
letters now for sale at the notion counters
They are about three-quarters of an inch
long and are embroidered, but have no
back ground, and are intended to save the
labor of embroidering initials on household
linen and underwear The idea is a novel
but practical one.
Voluminous lamp shades are still popular,
but ingenuity has been almost exhausted
on them, and every combination of china
silk, lace and Grape has been tried over and
over. Some new ones are shown made of
Grape paper in shades of lavender, Orna-
mented with large cluster of purple and
white flag lilies or iris, also made of paper.
The same scheme might be more cheerfully
carried out in pale yellow, since there are
yellow irises in nature. These millinery
lamp shades are not satisfactory on the
whole, however, as they are too flimsy to be
trusted in the neighborhood Of fire.
A doll bonbon box is a rather attractive
novelty which, trivial as it may seem, sells
at between 50 and S. The foundation is a
rather tall, round box, to the lid of which
is fastened the upper half Of dolls body,
with head and arms complete, The skirt
is secured to the waist of the doll and is
made just the right length and circumfer-
ence TO cover the box when the lid is on.
These dolls are dressed in various styles
one in gray, as Quaker, with a silk bonnet
aud kerchief; another in lace and muslin,
with hat and a tiny basket Of flowers.
The prettiest are the folly" costumes Of
satin and ribbons hung with little bells.
The dress is in two colors, of course, black
and orange, blue and white, and turquoise
and gold being the most effective combina-
tions. JUDO CHOLLET.

THE Pottsville Republican takes occa.
sion to devote considerable space to an
explanation that it is not disappointment
over failure to receive patronage that
prompts its attacks on the county officials,
and the explanation makes a story cal

Tor years that no newspaper in the county

BETTER PAVBMElJTS

Chief Burgess Burns announces his in-
t9ntion of strictly aarrying out the ordi-
nances pertaining to the laying and repair
nag Of pavements and has made a start by
notifying the land agent Of the Philadel-
phia & Reading Coal and Iron Company
TO put pavements on the company's
properties in town. With the coming OF
more propirious weather there should be
a general move in the direction of better
sidewalks. On many of the principal
thoroughfares there is marked neg.
Ligence in this matter. This may be- to a
certain extent, accountable for by reason
Of the winter weather. Now that spring
comes on apace let the good citizens
further abet the efforts Of the Chief Bur
CESS in the administration of his calling
and incite a move for improved pavements
by looking after their own.
