What Slit the BIacksmith's Apron.

Everybody knows that blacksmlth
wears a leather apron, and most nave
noticed that this apron is split ano OF,
ten fringed at the bottom. An Ola
Sussex smith tells us how this came TO
be done.
Once upon a time Alfred the Great
called all the trades together to appolh
a Trades-king. He declared he would
make that man king who could pest
get on without the help of the others
for the longest period. He made a
feast and asked a workman from each
trade to come and bring a specimen OF
his work and the tools used in making
it.
The blacksmith brought his hammer
and horseshoe. The tailor brought
his shears and new coat, the baker
his peel and loaf, the shoemaker his
awl and new pair of shoes, the car
pepter his saw and a nice DON, the
butcher his chopper and joint, the
mason his chisels and carved stone.
The tailor's coat was of such surpilSs-
ing beauty that all the guests declared
themselves beaten and the horseshoe,
the bread, the shoes, the box. the meat,
and the carved stone were all thro"n
aside. The tailor was pronounced
Trades-king by Alfred and was duly
installed.
The blacksmith was angry and de-
clared that he would do no more work
while the tailor was king; and he act
ually shut up his shop and disappear
ed.
One day as King Alfred was riding
along his horse cast shoe, and he was
the first to need the services Of the
blacksmith; but he could not get into
the shop.
Then all the other tradesmen, includ-
ing King Tailor, tried to shoe the
Kings horse, but each one not only
failed, but broke his tools, and could
not carry on his proper business until
they were mended.
King Alfred and the tradesmen then
broke open the shop and tried to use
the blacksmith's tools. The klnlg
tried TO shoe his horse. the tailor to
mend his shears, and each one enceaV-
ored to repair his tools. The horse
kicked the King, the tailor bruised his
fingers, the fire would not burn, and
everybody got in everybody's way.
The butcher showed the Daker, he
showed the shoemaker, who in turn
showed the carpenter, who showed the
mason, who showed the tailor, and in
the general confusion the anvil was
knocked over.
About this time the blacksmith
walked in looking very angry. The
King, however made humble bow
and said, II was wrong to be led away
by the gaudy color of a coat, and now
revoke my decision and proclaim the
blacksmith King"
ALI the trades, except the deposed
tailor, begged the smith to mend their
tools. So he shod the Kings horse and
mended the tools of all who had asked
him; but, in order to show his mag
nanimity he made the tailor brand
new pair of shears.
King Alfred proposed to drink the
health of the new king, and to sing a
song in his honor at a second feast
which he gave. The tailor, however,
did not reciprocate the blacksmith's
kindness, but while the others were
singing, crawled under the table and

call it, is said to be tire-proof as well
as water. proof, SO that every thing
about the house, even the roof and
chimney, is built of materials made
from straw.
Who knows but that some day we
may read items like this in the daily
papers: "Mr. Blank has just moved
into his elegant new straw house,
which is said to be the finest private
residence in the State.n Then we old
fashioned folks, who live in brick,
stone, or frame houses, will have to ac-

ner sets are made. If you could induce the
Sevres potters to turn you ou- full dinner
set in their highest style Of d coraton it
would cost a neat little fortune, but they
cannot be persuaded to do it. The govern
ment is interested in the works, and pri-
waite customers can not always have heir
way But if you cannot have the luxury
of a dinner set in costliest Sevres you may
pay s., 900 dozen for dessert plates Some
60 higher, and $500, $500, $40 and $500 a
dozen are every day prices. A dealer in
china at Chicago not long ago sold ever so
many dozens of plates no single one of
which cost less than 800. They were sold
singly, and went to Deadwood. Less than
ten years ago 500 would have bought all
the china the own contained. But the
west is owing luxurious, and a dozen
cities that were villages ton years ago have
a few residents to whom dessert plates at
$500 dozen are only one costly feature of
luxurious home. ...s -H-
But there is no more extravaganza taste
than that for after dinner ''coffees." For
S25 You may buy a set that no one need be
ashamed Of A thousand people who 1--we
we'll are content with something less costly,
but $25 is not, as things go, high price for
single cup and saucer. People with
passion for this sort of thing patiently
watch and wait until they have com lleted
set to their liking Minton, Crown.
Derby, ROYAL, Vienna, Sevres, D esden and
Royal Worcester, may all be represented
as such in a set Sometimes the whole
dozen costs as high as 81 500, and the work
of collection may have taken months or
years,

DRESDEN SNUFF BOX.

But, you think, Royal Worcester does
not always cost so much. True, some of it
is within the reach of poor folks The
simply decorated pieces are not expensive.
There was a little cam jug, consisting of
two vessels, one within the other; the outer
Jug was pierced or cut until it looked like a
mere net work cast about the inner vessel.
The Two Joined at the edges, aud the lip
was as smooth as the inner surface of a
couch shell. A cup and saucer of pierced
ROYAL Worcester were SO light that |
feared to touch them lest they might break
but their price is double that of very SER
viceable dinner set
1t is the labor expended on all these
things that makes them so costly. There
was a plain white Copeland vase 4 feet
high which oily cost $50, and there was it
exact counterpart decorated in gold relief
which cost $3.50 The W rkman WHO de-
corated these lovely things at Worcester,
at Derby or at any one of half dozen
famous potterles, op"rates under the
watchful eyes of the designer, and was paid
from So to 70 shllings Il week, say an aver
age of SIS a month. Thatdoes not sound
very high to American ears nut then it is
pretty good pay in England. Besides there
is the designer to be paid, ard he commands
a high salary. IL is not easy to fl d out
Just what he gets, for potters' secrets are
jealously guarded. Now and then the de-
signer's name is given, but oftener it is
kept from the world lest rivals entice BIN
away. All the finer decorations are done
under his eye, and ne himself gives the fin
ishing touches.
