M Social and PERSONAL rvpvnr brfore have so mnny holiday guests been In the city us were here this season. More house parties were Bvm nnd more gaiety In General en- Joyed thnn at any previous time. The collego men and maidens and their guests returned early in the week, hut a number of visitors remain, although the large affairs In social circles now He .chiefly in the past. Of the many beautiful receptions given In this city, none have attracted more ndinlrntlon and pleasing com ment than that Riven by Mrs. William nntinpll at her elegant home on Wed nesday. The day wus perfect, and a vrrv large number of guests were pres ent during the hours of receiving. The handsome rooms made a strikingly beautiful appearance, as added to the originally effective- decorative features they contained a profusion of pink roses and malden-halr fern with masses of tropical plants.' Tho dining room was exquisite In every detail. Mrs. Connell wore a lovely gown of pearl brocade, trimmed with rose-colored velvet and point lace. Mrs. Charles M. Glinn, who received with the hostess, wore old rose satin with a garniture of velvet and duchess lace. Others about the rooms were Mrs. I). E. Tay lor. Mrs. J. S. McAnulty, Mrs. A. K. Connell. Mrs. Luther Keller. Mrs. C. It. Council, Mrs. C. 13. Penman and Mrs. Wl A. Connell. At tho table in the dlnlrig room were Mrs. C. 15. Simp son and Irs. A. J. Connell.

The pro gramme" Will be magnificent and tho accessories of tho affair are expected to surpass everything thus far at tempted in the musical line In this city. We, as Scrantonlans, are proud of Bauer and his famous band. When any other great aggregations of talent come here we say: "Yes, they cer tainly .do play well, but we can't say that they excel Bauer." We never tire of hearing Its stirring music, and we hear with delight tlu praise It receives in other places, for it always represents us with credit. It is known for Its bril liant work from- Buffalo to Washing ton, from Boston to Chicago. Through the Keystone and Empire states Bauer's band is spoken of with ad miration. No society event Is com plete without Its music. All this means that somebody has had to do an enor- moAis amount of hard work. To keep h. h an organization on a good, sub stAntlal basis occasions great expense. The membership Is chiefly made up of wage-earners, and uniforms and in struments of tho perfection befitting n band of such prestige exceeds what can be afforded. There are many rea sons why this concert should receive the patronage and support of Scranton people. Every seat should be occupied. The list of patronesses for the con- frt contains the following names: rs. H. M. Boles, Mrs. William Con mill, Mrs. C. D. Simpson, Mrs. T. H. Watkins, Mrs. W. T. Smith, Mrs. TOnnrv Ttplln. 1r..

Thero are degrees of sleeplessness from tho wideawake state to the sleep which does not refresh and has In it only the mockery of rest. Such sleep Is not tired nature's sweet restorer. Dreams have power to tor ture and to depress. Sleep, therefore, is not always rest, but trouble, and a troubled sleep brings to the brain worker loss of power for thought and labor. It is a well-known fact that for any part to perform actively Its duties. It must have an abundance of blood; but when tho power of locally regulating the supply of blood In the brain Is im paired because of Insufficient nervo power the tired brain grinds the same old grist over and over till nervous prostration, paralysis or hysteria en sues. The cause of sleeplessness Is so clear that the euro is equally apparent. Tho nerves must recover their grip. The health-wrecking laxity of the blood vessels must be corrected. The answer to how this Is to be done is: Feed the exhausted nervo tissues with Paine's celery compound. By thus acting on the nerves Paine's celery compound Is able to regulate the blood supply and permanently banish sleeplessness that shortens so many lives, especially .among those beyond middle age. In addition to this Indi rect control over the circulation, Paine's celery compound directly increases the amount of blood In the arteries and arouses the purifying organs to drive out Impurities that often lurk In it un developed for years till age or a "run down" condition allow them to get the upper hand. A pale, languid woman is not more of a lady than a rosy, robust one. AVomen leading lives of Imperfect health, with pains and aches running riot through their "run-down" bodies, are often Ignorant of the fact that It is not a specific for nervousness or rheumatism or stomach trouble that they need, but fundamental building up of every tissue of their bodies and a thorough cleansing of their blood. The strengthening of the constitution and the eradication of latent disease that Paine's celery compound achieves leaves no fear of that treacherous par tial recovery that keeps one always afraid of relapse and sudden break down. Paine's celery compound rests on the wise modern conclusion of the best medical thought that the remedy that invigorates the entire system and puri fies It, is the only safe cure for such localized diseases as rheumatism, neu ralgia, sleeplessness, eczema, head aches and blood diseases. It Is a common harmful Idea that health keeps pace with strength. Peo ple seem to think that one can deter mine the health of persons by meas uring their arms. Health means ab senco of pain and presence of more or less nerve tensity and enjoyment In the mere fact of living. All this Implies abundantly nourish ed organs and blood unhampered by diseased humors. Paine's celery compound Is espec ially valuable for recruiting the strength and spent energies of men and women advanced In years. It Is the one preparation considered worthy the name of a true nerve food and blood remedy by physicians throughout the country. It Is prescribed by them in every state in the Union to tone up the system, regulate the nerves and re store health and strength. m Saturday Shop News : So far as newspapers are concerned, is confined to a few items.

It is not generally known that over sixty per cent, of wood may be con verted Into liquid. Tho strongest hy draulic pressure would not squeeze one-half ot one per cent, of moisture from dry wood, but by putting the same material Into an Iron retort and converting It Into charcoal by means of heat, the gases and smoko, to the extent of fully 65 per cent, ot tho weight JONAS LONG'S SONS Greater Scranton's Greatest Store. Sawney Bess5 Commeeteo of the wood, may be condensed Into liquid called pyrollgneous acid, and from it are obtained wood alcohol, nce tate of lime and wood tars. A cord of wood weighing 4,000 pounds produced about 2,650 pounds of pyrollgneous acid and 700 pounds of charcoal. The pyro llgneous acid from one cord of wood produces nine gallons of 82 per cent, crude jvood alcohol, 200 pounds of ace tate of lime and about twenty-five gallons of tar, besides thirty-five bush els of charcoal. After the pyrollgne ous acid Is neutralized with lime the wood alcohol Is distilled off, the lime holding the acetate acid In Bolutlon. After tho seperatlon of the wood spirit the remaining liquid U boiled down In open pans to a sugar, which Is dried and becomes the acetate of llmo ot commerce. Acetate of lime Is used for making acetic acid. Fully three-llfths of all the wood alcohol and acetate of lime produced In the world are made In tho United States. Fully 15,000 acres per year are cleared for this purpose. Wood alcohol affords a perfect substi tute for grain alcohol for manufactur ing and mechanical purposes, and nt less than one-third the cost. It U used principally as a solvent In the making of shellac varnish, In making celluloid, photographic paper, etc. It makee many beautiful dye tints. It Is anti septic and much used for liniments and for skin rubbing In bath houses. Kept an Engngnmcnt Hook. From the Chicago Times-Herald. In a Chicago book store a new clerk Is employed to whom everything Is a source of wonder, ho being recently transplanted from a prnlrle home. However, ho Is learning,' but some of tho lcstons he re ceives aro applied In an unusual way. For Instance: A young woman recontly en tered tho store and asked for un "en gagement book." "Do they have engagement books ! Chicago?" asked Mr. Innocent, neaps with surprise. "I do," unsucrcd the young woman, "because I hnvo so many engagements that I could not possibly remoknber them all." The young man leaned across the coun ter and usked In a sad and subdued voices "Do you thing It is right? Excuse me, miss, I am new to the ways of Chlc.xgo, but Isn't It wicked to trino with nffalrs or the heart? Itn't un engagement as sol emn as a marriage?" When tho clerk had finished hla ora tion the customer explained ns well as she could for laughing tho difference be tween the kind of engagement book he meant nnd the one she wanted, and a load was lifted from tho mind of tho con scientious youth who was unutcd to the wuys of Chicago, The subject of recess In the public school Is exciting much attention just now. As yet no "mothers' meetings" have been held to discuss the ques tion, but In a number of Impromptu indignation meetings considerable dis cussion has .taken place. The regula tion providing for no recess during the morning session meets with great op position from the more Intelligent par ents, who, for many reasons, are of the opinion that the children are not In as much danger from the street cars as from the confinement of the long session. The arguments In favor of an absence of recess seem to be very inad equate to most thinking people. That there are many Improvements along educational lines cannot he doubted, but to dispense with recess'at the same time with the spelling bees, rules of grammar and other things that used to be considered valuable adjuncts to tho acquirement of knowledge Is scarcely to be commended. There was a surprised man down on Spruce street the other day. He Is a prominent citizen who rides hehlnd a handsome team, nnd he was engaged In this diversion when In another sleigh he beheld two or three friends, ladles by the way, who waved their hands In greeting. As his driver slackened tho speed of the horses, the owner sprang out, believing that the occu pants of the other sleigh had beckoned to him to alight and speak .to them. It was not until they drove on that he realized his mistake, and turning about to r-onter his own sleigh, discovered that his outfit wos.speedlng on up tho street two hlocks away. The snow was deep, but ho plodded on, thinking that the driver would return for him, but that Individual sped oft never halting until ho reached home, when he stopped for the master of tho house to alight. It was then that he, too. was surprised as he turned around nnd saw the empty vehicle. It was a long distance, und, the weary citizen, who arrived homo some time later, hasn't yet heard tho last of various versions of tho affair. Men do queer things, anyway. Talk about women rushing to bargain nnd auction sales, feeding .tramps who steal tho sliver, and get swindled In their pursuit of high art'! You wouldn't catch a woman hastening oft to tho New Year ball arrayed In all tho glory of a comfortable shirt waist, all tho while lahoilnir under the hallucination that it was her new pink brocade party town. And yet a prominent citizen J went serenely to that same great tunc tlon on New Year eve and never once remembered until he reached the the atre and removed his top coat, that he wus attired In the gorgeousness of an oriental smoking jacket. Instead of the correct form of evening dress, now In vogue for gen tlemen. Of course It Indicates his ut ter luck of vanity, which, seeing that he Is an exceptionally handsome man, Is still more remurkable. a And then there was that other man, prominent also, and most methodical In his ways. He sneezed the other morning so violently thut he sneezed his nice front teeth out Into the glow ing grate, which was a most careless performance as results proved, for sud denly there was a sharp explosion and plff, flzz; up went the Immaculate teeth In a glory of pyrotechnics, before the gaze of .their startled, one-time pos sessor. This prominent citizen is now engaged in endeavoring to make his dentist, dlsvlose the Ingredients gener ally employed In the manufacture of artlllcial teeth. Most people scrup ulously Insist that their falso teeth must never have previously been employed In a similar capacity by somebody else, but Mr. X Is now somewhat uncertain as to whether it is not a worse evil to go about cherishing teeth that may at any minute go off like an Infernal machine In one's mouth If ono Is a devotee ot cigars and pipes. Yes, men certainly do Just as many queer .things as do women. If not many queerer. They do say that the major ity of people who heedlessly wander off and leave their teeth In sieepliiff cars are men. Isn't It a comfort to find these little indications of fallibil ity In tho lords of creation bless 'emT Ho Knew 'Eui. From Harper's Bazar. "What!
