The Craig-y-Nos Apron.

This is the latest novelty in aprons. 1t
Is made of light lowered French sateen,
and is trimmed in a tasteful and effective
manner with lace. The floral design on
the cream ground is so arranged that there
Is deep border at the foot of the apron of
large handsome blooms, fowerets being
studded over the rest of the tablier. The
deep pointed Swiss band terminates with
a lace basque, and the bretelles are ar
ranged with lace bib These aprons
would be dressy for young housewives
morning wear, and would prove most taste
full for bazaars. Nine. Patti has expressed
her admiration for this apron, and in honor
of her it is called the Craig-y-Nos.

FACTS ABOUT IRON.
The Great Antiquity OF Its Use - First
Ion-Works in America.

The bible speaks of Tubal Cain as
the diScoverer of iron and the father of
smiths. says the St. Louis Republic, the
Egyptians imputed to Hephastus the
same honor; while Pliny mentions it as
having been discovered by the Dac-
tyles. on Mount Ida, after the forests
on the mountain-side had been de-
stroyed by lightning-this about 1882
years B. C.
Jeremiah and Ezekiel both mention
iron in their scriptural writings, the
latter specially mentioning two quail
ties of the metal, calling one bright
iron," which was probably steel.
Moses mentions an iron furnace. and
Job speaks of it as being taken out of
the earth. Thousands of years before
the opening of the Christian era the
Egyptians used iron in making sickles.
kniyes. etc. Sparta first used iron for
money; Britain also used i. as me-
dunn of barter and exchange prior to
the conquest by the Romans. The use
of steel is known to be quite ancient,
its invention being ascribed TO the
Chalyhes. who in ancient times lived
at the present Batoum. The Britons
before the time of Christ used to export
iron to Gaul, and after the Roman con-
quest the conquerors established eXten-
sive smelting-works, which existed at
least as late rs the Saxon conquest.
Iron bars were demanded by William
the Conqueror as tribute from the city
of Gloucester. In 1855 Edward III,
forbade the export of iron from Eng.
land, and in 1888 the importation of
iron articles that could be made al
home was forbidden. Bar iron WAS
made in the American colonies as ear
ly as 1922. The timing OF iron was
introduced from Bohemia in 1851. The
first experiments in sm lting iron with
anthracite coal were tried at Mauch
Chunk, Pa. in 1929; in France two
years earlier, and successfully in
Wales IN 1897. Tt first iron-works In
America were established near James
town. Va, in 1919; in 1922 the works
were destroyed and the workmen and
their families killed by Indians. The
next attempt was at Lynn, Mass, on
the banks OF the Saugus in 1913. The
ore used was the bog variety. still
found in abundance in that vicinity
At these famous iron-works Joseph

Patti,s First Performance.

met a teacher of music last night
who knew Adelina Patti when she was
l2 years old.
"She was not a beauty, and did not
promise to be one." said the teacher.
"She was tall for her age-as tall as she
is now-and ungainly. Her face was
lcng and sallow, with no fine feature
about it, but pair of fine eyes. And
yet there was an attraction about the
girl, and her manner was pleasant. She
seemed entirely subservient to Maurice
Strakosch, who married her eldest sister
Amelia.
He used to speak very freely of her
and before her, saying that he intended
to make her the greatest prima donna
that the world had ever seen; that he
knew she was not handsome, but time
would correct that; in this connection he
used to instance the case of Persiana, who
was once, they say, the greatest singer
and ugliest woman in Europe"
Speaking of PATHS debut at Tripler
Hall, the old gentleman said that the
child Adelina accompanied herself on
the piano and made success enough for
an encore. She then caused a general
laugh by getting up from the piano and
clapping her hands as heartily as any
one in IT,, - New York Telegram.

in the services of a trained nurse for

they were in the sick room by soft ways
and trained skill, became a mountain of

BEETHovEN's MISTAKE.
An Interesting Story of the Great Musi-
clan and the Emperor.


clan and the Emperor.
Here is an interesting story which
does not occur in Louis Engle's most
charming book of anecdotes and remi-
niscences of musicians, but which in
points of interest and prettiness is of a
piece with the narratives contained
therein, writes Eugene Field. When
Ludwig Beethoven first visited the Aus
trian court he was 16 years of age.
Well provided with letters of introduc-
ton to Emperor Joseph, he proceeded
alone to the palace, determined toplay his
way into the affections of the monarch.
Admitted to the palace, he was met in
an antechamber by very civil gentle
man. who told him that the emperor
could not well receive him then, but
would be glad to have him present him
self that evening for an audience In the
Augarten. Attracted by the quiet and
friendly demeanor of this person, young
Beethoven engaged in conversation with
him, and presently discovered that he
was the emperor's barber, discovery
arising from the stanger's casual admis-
sion that he Shaved the emperor every
morning.
Tell me-" demanded the youth, "is
he indulgent or severe?"
THAT depends, answered the barber
-when it comes to music matters he
is strict enough.
Yes. know what that means,' said
Beethoven sneeringly, "he plays the
piano little, and stIums away on the
violoncello, and composes sonatas, but
between you and me these big people
don't carry their music studies very far
after all. ;"
This honest expression of opinion
seemed to amuse the barber nightly;
he simply roared with laughter.
That evening at the appointed hOuI
Beethoven came to the Augarten and
was shown into the music room, where
the emperor and a friend were seated
in conversation. Intense was the young
musicians horror to learn that the sup
rosed barber and the emperor were
one! But the emperor took the joke
with such amazing good humor that
Beethoven, for his part, was willing tc
forgive and forget He seated himself
at the piano and at the emperor's re.
quest improvised at a theme from
Mozart's "Zarastro. This he did so re.
markably that his auditors were de.

could not restrain his joy; running
across the room, he threw his arms

-One way to get q shot at deer Is to
watch near salt lick. The best time
for hunting by that means is in hot and
dry weather, for then the deer seem to
need salt more than under any other
conditions. Night is the best time for
the game to come out Most licks are
natural, as, for instance. places where
cattle are salted in the mountains. Sui.
phur water often contains a small pro-
portion of salt Sometimes where salt
is placed for cattle year after year the
groand becomes saturated with it 1t is
usuasto make a fire near the lick. so
that the gunner can see his game, and
the watchers lay in wait near by, 50 that
the wind will blow toward them. Deer
are not scared at blaze, because they
see such things in the mountains.
1The common American red deer is the
variety found in West Virginia. The
same kind is also seen in the swamps of
Mississippi and Florida. Now, have
noticed wide difference in the weight
of deer in the extreme South and our
own country, as told by hunters of the
two sections. Senator Hampton in
formed me some time ago that he killed
one in his own section weighing 200
pounds l could hardly realize it /
found, however, that the deer was
weighed as it stood on its feet That is
the custom farther south, but in my
State we dress the deer, so as to get rid
of all superfluous weight before testing
him on the scale. We do so in order to
attain the greatest convenience in carry
ing the game about.
81 can see," continued the Senator
re6ectively, that the number of deer
has been remarkably reduced in the last
10 years even noticed the difference
on my recent hunt. 1t is safe to say
that there are not half so many to be
found now as 10 years ago. Civilization
and constant hunting are driving them
out of existence. The means of ap-
proach to the deer country are now very
improved, and as consequence the
game is being killed off More or less
timbering has Leen done also, and in
this way many deer haunts have been
broken up. In the white pine region
especially the woods have been thinned
so much that deer can no longer find a
home in them. They have been forced
into the wild ranges, which have so far
resisted encroachment
~The best places to look for deer now
are thinly populated regions, such as
Webster, Nicholas, and Greenbrier coun-
ties in our State. In Pendleton, Hamp-
shire, Hardie, Randolph, and Pocahon-
tas good hunting can still be had. The
mountains abound also in pheasants and
squirrels The streams were once full
of trout, but there are not 80 many
now.n

Ages of Man and Wife.

1t is always better for a man to be
several years the senior of his wife.
And I'll tell you why. The average
girl who marries-God bless her-stays
at home and makes a home a blissful
abiding place for her husband and
her children. TIE man goes out into
the world and has the responsibility of
caring for those who are at home, and
yet time does not seem to set its seal on
him as it does on woman. The little
cares of life ruffle her, and too often
make her look, as we say, ~old before
her time" Now, even when this does
not happen, she does proportionately
grow old in appearance sooner than
man, and for that reason she wants to
take the benefit of the doubt. and let
him have the added years to start with.
Then, too, you should desire to keep
your heart and mind young; to be his
intellectual companion, and this is much
easier when your husband is old enough
to be "the guide, philosopher, and
friend" The love of a woman to her
husband always has little of the ma
ternal in it-that j. right and tender
but she does not wish to be mistaken
for his mother.
Be wise, and marry man older than
yourself; one who has seen life in It's
many phases. and who can guide you
over the rocky place; one who has
learned that it is not always wise to
obey impulse, but that any important
dnty should be we'll thought over.
