ST VALENTINES Day,

st. Valentine is coming TO his own
again. Never will be neglected so long
as there are young folks i'll the world.
Hearts are everywhere imitation
hearts that is. 1t would be sacrileg-
ious at this time of year to use any
other than heart shaped candy boxes.
And there they are in the stores IN
every imaginable way.
They are great crimson satin hearts
the hue Of which reminds one OF the
big beautiful red roses, considered
from time immemorial to be typical
of undying love.
There are paper-covered hearts
smothered in violets. and dainty white
crepe hearts decorated with great big
buncheS of ribbon.
But the daintiest receptacle for con-
fections which a lover could possibly
send his sweetheart is in the form OF
big white satin heart, to which are
attached with hopes of narrow ribbon
several little colored hearts, Painted d
on the satin are couplets
Stuff and nonsense, of course! And
vet the recurrence of st. Valentine 5
Day does good by making us all young
and foolish for the once.

D. L. & W. R. R. Improvements.

Noting the purchase of the Pennsyl-
vania canal bed by the D. L. & W.
r. r. Co, the Wilkesbarre Record
says:
The old canal parallels the Blooms
burg division of the d. L. & W. from
West Nanticoke to Northumberland
and at several points its possession was
absolutely necessary in order to pro-
vide room for the additional track and
sidings necessary to accommodate the
heavy and constant growing freight
traffic of the Lackawanna. From West
Nanticoke nearly all the way to Ber-
wick the railroad track is crowded in
between the hill and canal and with
out the latter a tremendous cut would
have to be MADE to provide room for
additional tracks.
About a mile south of Berwick the
canal runs a distance of half mile
south of the railroad as far as the mar
rows at Rupert, and they again diverge
at Danville, coming together west of
that city.
1t is believed the Lackawanna is
about to double track the Bloomsbury
division from Rupert to Kingston yard
whore the double track to Scranton
begins, aud the possession of the canal
bed will give ample room.
Extensive Improvements are also
contemplated at Berwick where room
for 1 aw depot and freight warehcus-
esis needed, and also additional yard
room
The Pennsylvania company retains
ownership of the canal distance of
one mile north of Northumberland and
the space will be used in widening the
transfer yard with the Lackawanua al
that point.

last night found itself up against the
real thing, a fact which no one can
doubt after learning the score. which
was seventy to eighteen in favor

man on the Tamaqua team played like
professional and the team work was
something to admire. Blaker at center
threw nineteen goals.
There was large crowd present who
came to cheer for Danville, but instead
were held in mute admiration before
the matchless playing of the visiting
team. To make it worse for DanvilIe
ClaybeTger, of whom so much was ex-
pected, injured his hand at practice

CROCODILE SHEARS
HAVE ARRIVED

I'm our last week ; issue the fact
was alluded to that large guillotine
shears weighing -, 600 pounds had been
installed at the Reading Iron Works
As might be Inferred from its weight
this is an ponderous piece of machin-
cry. In its action it may be said to
resemble guillotine. the instrument
used in France for bcheading crimin-
ais; hence its name.
This shears, heavy as is its weight,
is entirely discounted by another
shears which arrived at the Reading
Iron Works yesterday and which is
known as Crocodile shears. - While
the first mentioned shears is adapted
10 cutting iron sheets in two, the lat
ter will be used on iron bars and the
like where much greater force is re
quired. 1t is said that the shears,
which operates on the principle of a
crocodile's Jaws will bite heavy
steel billet in two.
The weight Is gwen at some SO,OUO
pounds and with only few eXCep-
tions is the heaviest piece of machin-
cry ever installed at the Reading Iron
Works here. \ force of men yesterday
were employed in unloading the pond
erous machine from the freight car,
but as might be inferred the progress
made was slow The shears will be
installed in the northeast corner of the
sixteen inch mill opposite the gull
lotine shears, which stands in the
northwest corner OF the works.
The big crocodile shears is the pro-
duct of the Reading Iron Company's
own shops 1t was cast in Scott toun
dry at Reading. where government

Coasters Have Rare Sport.

The young people of the Fourth
Ward have one of the finest coasting
grounds in Dauville. Starting on the
top of the hill on Ash street they come
down the middle of the street until
they reach Center street, when they
turn TO the right and follow the side
walk Of that thoroughfare until a
point near the r. q r. crossing is
reached. The hill is a long one, while
the total length of the course followed
embraces some three or four squares.
The coasters are generally very mum
erous, 50 that the hill after every snow
is soon worn as smooth as glass. IL is
at present in its very best condition,
and last night coasters were out by
scores.
Many of the sleds pressed into ser
vice were a study There were two or
three bob sleds geared long enough tc
hold ten or a dozen riders and they
all were crowded. Other sleds were
oddly improvised affairs, the best the
boys could make with the rude skill al
their command These answered ad
mirably, however, aud glided alon
