NEW YORK FASHIONS
Pattern For Girls Niehtaown Designed by
May r1anton-No 1924

The plain simple nightgn IN is the one
apt to be most in demand or the younger
girls. This model can be made from the
fine nainsook and cambria that are always
SO dainty and pretty and also is adapted
TO the wash flRnnels that are so comfort
able on cold winter night. 1t Is amply
FULL below the plain yoke. and 1t suits all
materials and all seasons for the reason
that 1t can be made either high or with
square neck and with sleeves OF two
lengths. In this case cambria is finished
with little frllls OF embroidery, and the
high neck with the turnover collar Is
used. The square neck has. however, a
great many advantages, and not few
girls like gowns made in that way even
for cold weather.
The gown consists OF the yoke and the
fun skirt portion, which Is gathered and
Joined to Il. When the high neck Is used
the collar finishes the neck edge, but
when the square neck i5 used that edge
can be finished with little frill or with
banding, as liked. The sleeves are gath
cred Into straight bands.
The quantity OF material required for
the medium size twelve years. Is 81
yards q or 4S yards 80 inches wide. with
"a yards OF embroidery for frills.
Sizes for girls OF s. 10, u and II years.

There are two or three cases OF
scarlet fever on River street, Charles
Faatz, the Lyric theatre ianitor, being
one of the patients.
Rev. W. F. Hopp, pastor of the Ger
man Lutheran church. will not hold
confirmation class instruction on Satur-
day next, owing to his absence from
town on that day. On Sunday there
will be service as usual in the morning
but not in the evening, as the pastor
will conduct services in Aldenville on
Sunday afternoon.
Next Friday evening, Dec. llth, the
choir Of the Methodist church, will pre-
sent high class musical entertainment.
Miss Tydvil Jones, of the Second Presby-
terian church, Scranton, will be leading
soloist. The choir will also be assisted
by Miss Mary Holland, soprano, and
Miss Ruth Kennedy, elocutionist. A
chorus of about 40 voices, under the
leadership of G. ]. Dibble will be pre-
sented.
1t appears that we are to have all
sorts of weather during the coming win
ter, the goose breast-bone prophets pre-
dieting that the season will be an open
one with a very cold spell now and then.
December will be very cold, but there
will be little snow. January will have
some snow, with a warm spell during
the middle of the month. February will
be severe month with plenty of ice
and snow. March will open with a
warm spell, and plenty of rain and hail
and late spring will follow.
Hereafter, the rural postmaster, in
the States east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio, and Mason and Dixon IS
line, will not be obliged to sneeze when
the Congressman of his district takes
snuff. The President, on Tuesday, De-
cember LIST, issued an order placing all
the fourth class postmasters in those
States under the civil service law. They
number Is, ,4sS, and of these Pennsylva-
mia has the largest number-3,38S 1t
does not yet appear that the present in
cumbents are to be disturbed or tested,
but as vacancies occur they will be filled
by competitive examination. The man.
ner in which the examinations are to be
conducted has not yet been announced,
but it is understood that it will follow
substantially the same lines pursued with
rural carriers.

1.-THE Lion and The Mouse. =.

"The Lion and the Mouse" which
comes to the Lyric on Tuesday evening
next, has all the elements of popularity
a powerful central interest an in
tense love story wherein the lovers are
periled many times a good portion of
comedy and a modicum of wit. Added
to this the people of the story move in
the most "select circles and talk of
millions as though they were copper
cents to juggle with. Besides Miss DON
nelly, who comes to Honesdale for the
first time, and Mr.. Byron, the company
will include an entire cast of Exceptional

Henry b. Harris, owner of "The Lion
and the Mousse" "TlIe Chorus LADY, I"
The Call If the North" and dozen or
more of past and current successes, has
been very little heard of in the public
prints except the mention of his name
RS hard working manager.
Oliver Doud Byron, the John Burkett
Ryder of the company that will appear
here next week, tells story of Mr.. far
rls, however, that would indicate that
the busy manager has a vein of wit in
his makeup that is responsible for a
good many trite bite of philosophy
which seem to have escaped the atten-
ton of his press agents.
when we were getting ready for the
first production of Mr.. Klein's plav,"
said Mr.. Byron, "Mr. Harris paid the
strictest kind of attention to the rehear-
sails. In fact he and Charles Klein were
generally the first to reach the theatre
and they never left until the DAVIS work
was completed.
Mr.. Harris had engaged a rather
well known actor for the part of Judge
kossmore, about whose approaching
impeachment the story of the play re-
voiVes. For some reason or other, prob
ably due to an uneasiness caused by the
daily attendance of the author and man
ager, at rehearsals, the actor seemed
ratified and failed to grasp the proper
conception of the dignified jurist ne was
expected to represent.
Both Mr.. Klein and Mr.. Harris Of
fered sundry suggestions and showed
themselves keeniy interested in the ef-
fort to help the player along but at the
end of several days it became evident
that a change would be necessary.
when Mr.. Harris finally called him
aside and told him how impossible he
was, the actor, rather Indignantly, de-
manded reason for his dismissal and
the managerial reply came as follows:
Young man, the story of this play
hinges on the impeachment of United
States Supreme Court Judge for alleged
misconduct. If allowed you to play
the part in the manner you seem to
think is the proper one, the first night s
audience would have you impeached be-
fore John Burkett Ryder ever had a
chance to present your case to the Sem
ate"

Worth While to Know.
Boiled Down Facts for Citizen Read
ers-LOcal and Otherwise.

The writer has had occasion in former
articles to speak of the ordinary red fish
worm as an ubiquitous friend, to be met
with in the barn yards on the banks of
the Thames, the Seine, the Rhine, the
Danube, or any and all other waters
outside of the arctic zones, just as well as
along the Dyberry or Lackawaxen and
always just as effective lure for the
finny tribe in one country as another.
And just because they are so universal
and so often in evidence, particularly
after rains, very few people pay any at
tention to them except when they want
to fill bait-box. Everybody has OBJ
served hundreds of them on the side
walks during and after rain, but the
true cause of these remarkable wander
ings is not often written about. The
fact is that earthworms can move about
only when the ground and the grass is
wet. The truth of this is easily shown
by placing an earthwoim on some dry
sand, when the dry grains will stick to
its Shiny skin and make it helpless. All
living creatures are endowed with the
instinct to move and spread over the
earth. Human beings, higher animals
and birds prefer to move about in fair
weather. To the earthworm and other
lowly creatures, like frogs, salamanders,
slugs and land snails, rainy days
are the only fair days for travelling.
When the sun comes out and dries the
roads and the meadows, they withdraw
into their hiding places. Asearthworms
cannot see clearly, they crawl about in
an aimless sort of way. If they happen
to get on board, or stone, or cement
walk, when the sky clears they soon die
and shrivel up. When a dry season or
winter approaches, the earthworms bur-
row deeper into the ground. At a depth
varying from six inches to two feet each
worm coils up into little ball. By aid
OF secreted slime it makes case of dirt
round itself, and in this state it remains
dormant until abundant rains or the
spring thaws call it back to more ac-
tive life

Everybody has heard of the Liberty
Bell, but comparatively few are posted
as to all of the interesting facts concern
ing it. The Liberty Bell is twelve feet
in circumference around the lip, seven
feet around the crown, two inches thick
in the thickest part near the lip, one
and one-half in the thinnest part near
the crown. The length of the clapper is
two feet two inches. 1t was first cast
by Lester and Price, Whitechapel, Lon
don, in 1852. 1t was hung i'm the State
House, Philadelphia. The same year it
was found to be cracked in the rim and
was recast three times in Philadelphia.
Twenty-three years aflerward it was
rung "n Independence Day in that city.
On July s, 1885, it was cracked while
being tolled for the death of Chief JUS
tice Marshall. In 1913 it was removed
and is now on exhibition in glass case.
1t bears this inscription: Proclaim
liberty throughout the land to all the
inhabitants thereof 1t weighs 2OSO

The thirty-six Eastern branches of the
Borden's Condensed Milk Company, ex-
elusive of the country plants, require the
constant use of 1875 horses. To feed
this stock one year requires 400, 800 BUSH
els of oats 5000 tons of hay ,; 10000
bushels of corn in the ear and $40 tons
bran. This amount, if transported by
rail, would require for the oats alone
1927 cars, or six trains of approximately
So fully loaded cars each, which, if
coupled together in single line would
reach 21s miles. The hay would require
eight trains OF 75 cars each fully loaded.
These would stretch over ~ miles of
track. The corn and bran would re-
quire another one-third of a mile, go
that, in round numbers to carry the
feed to the Borden Eastern branches
city horses for one year would necessi-
tate train seven miles in length, and
numbering 627 thirty-eight foot cars.
