The Ladies' Choral Concert.

A large and appreciative audi
ence were entertained at the Lyric
Theatre on Tuesday evening, April
18th, by concert given under the
auspices of the Ladies' Musical So
ciety of Honesdale. The Ladies'
Chorus numbered about 40 voices.
They we're led by Mr.. Louis Baker
Phillips of Scranton who was as
sisted by Mrs. John H. Shepherd,
soprano, Mrs. Louis Baker Phillips,
contralto, and an orchestra of
twenty-five members of the Scranton
Symphony society (:
The concert. in two parts, open
ed with The Morris Dances, by
the orchestra, then the Rosary
and Snowflakes was most excellent
ly rendered by the Ladies' chorus.
Mrs. Shepherd followed with
number of songs; Arnold Lohmann
rendering two violin solos, and in
response to an encore gave Schu-
mans Traumerie which was we'll
received. The first part closed with.
two strong numbers, "Asa's Death"
by Grieg and THE Milr' by
Gillet. Part two of the programme
was a cantata, "a Daughter of the
Sea-" and was rem arkably well CIV
en- by the Ladies. There were many
moments when the volume and
clearness of enunciation were all
that could be desired, especially so
in the final chorus, the climax being
given with force and fullness that
was wonderfully pleasing to music
loving people. The singing of
Misses Flo. Wood, Mae Robinson and
Mrs. Harry Rockwell was most ex-
cellent, all being in fine voice. AL
though the night was very stormy
the enthusiasm of the audience was
not dimmed, their appreciation be-
ing shown by their generous ap-
pearance.

HENS AND EGGS,
Joseph Stephens's Egg Record
Smashed In his Own Town.

On being confronted with this record
Charles Burger, 13 hens, 2sO eggs,
William Hertel, 40 hens, 72O eggs,
William H. Ham, five eggs with no
hens, our White Mills correspondent was
constrained to say:
"Well, boys, you can beat me in this
country all right, but my father had a
black Minorca hen in the old country
that laid two eggs and piece of ham
every morning for breakfast -
At meeting of the White Mills Poul-
try Raisers' Association, held in Hertel
Hall, on April 18th, VIM. H. Ham in
the chair, the question which was put
to the members was this: (Which con-
trolls the color of the egg, male or fe-
male?''
MIR. Decker stated that, in his opinion,
it was the female bird.
Mr.. Butler said that, from his exper-
ience, Mr.. Decker was right.
Mr.. Burger remarked that he believed
that hens largely control the color of the
shell.
Mr.. Stephens said, "Boys, you should
not place too much confidence in what
Messrs. Ham, Decker, Butler or Burger
have said, as they have never proved
themselves good breeders but 1 will
have to admit the female bird largely
controls the pigment which gives the egg
shell the characteristic color"

Owing to some hitch in the arrange

tobacco originally contracted for by
w. ID. Collins & Brother. of Louisville.
and which was later rejected by them,
was not turned over to the other in

that the Executive Committee of the
Burley Society, which was in session
there Wednesday, expected to meet
with the Independents there and ar
range for the transfer, but for some
reason none of the representative of
the independents appeared.
The principal subject discussed at
the meeting was the matter of the re-
Jected tobacco. which the society hop
ed to be able to turn over to the hide
pendents.
The report from Winchester further
says that it is now stated that there
are other Independents who now re-
fuse to take over their allotment and
the society it is said will hold a meet
ing next week and take some steps to-
ward fling suits against them.

Household Note S.

In packing furs and wooden gar
ments. if possible to Eavoid it, do not
put them in the attic. The heat there
during the summer makes it an ideal
place for moths to flourish. Use a
cool closet instead.
In using eggs. when the yolks are
not needed, put into a glass or cup and
cover with cold water. This keeps
them from drying, and when the water
is poured off they are as fresh as when
first broken. Or, if the eggs are brok-
en- and cannot be used at once, beat
them lightly with pinch of salt.
For household cleansing, few arti-
cles are of more general use than am
mOnia. A few tablespoonsfull added
to the water in washing windows gives
a shine which nothing else will. A few
drops applied with warm water will
remove spots from garments or pic
lures, And as a cleanser of grease
spots it is fine.
