For StOut Women.

The stout woman should, if she wears
white aprons, make them as she does
her skirts, with a narrow pointed or
rounded yoke, so that the fulness comes
well below the waist line. White
aprons for slender women are also more
becoming if the tlllness about the waist,
especially in front, is lessened by shir-
ring it down with from four to six mar
row rows o. shirring. a pretty apron
after a new pattern has the fullness
attached to the rounded yoke as sug-
gested. In front there is a bib gathered
into a narrow space at the waist line.
but broader at the top. This bib, which
is nearly two-thirds the length of the
waist, has fastened to it at each corner
wide rerers that spread out over the
shoulder and are continued i'll the back.
Well below. the shoulder blades these
collars or revers each terminate i'll Il
strap. The straps cross each other and
are fastened to the belt under the large
bow made by the strings. The apron,
made of white muslin, with embrold-
cred frills ut the bottom and on the re-
vers, is becoming when an elaborate
apron is desired. Deep muslin cuffs
with frill at the top add the some
what coquettish, somewhat n.atronly
effect of the apron.-N. Y. Post.

Searched For Many Years 1t Brought For
tune to Its Finder.
Among the most valuable books III
the world are those few still eXtant
which bear the name of John Gutten-
burg, the printer and publisher, who
fourished soon after printing was dis
covered-145O The value in which the
works. are held is shown by the enor-
nous prices they fetch on the rare oc'
casions when any of them find their
way to the auction mart.
At the commencement of the present
century the house, of certain peer
who possessed the first book John Gut
tenburg ever printed was broken into,
the thieves carrying off, among other
treasures, this book, which for years
after was diligently sought for, without
success.
One evening, some time since, a
blacksmith stopped in front of book
sellers window in London. He knew
nothing of books, but deserving one
looking older than the others, he
planked down his penny, and, throwing
it on a shelf when he got home, forgot
all about it.
One of his dodgers, porter in the
British museum, noticing that it was
dated 1850, asked permission to show
il to the museum authorities. A day
or two later the blacksmith was asked
to call. The secretary who saw him
then asked what he wanted for the
book. Not knowing what to reply, tbs
man said:
"What will you give?"
"What do you say to e 6O?" was the
answer.
The establishment which overspread
the blacksmith's face was taken by the
official for disgust; so, saying: Il will
see if we can give any more" he hur-
ried from the room, returning present
~ with an offer of e 80, which, needless
to say, was accepted.
Sooner than have lost Guttenburg's
book the museum would have paid
$1,000. The librarians of the great
Paris library would have cheerfully
paid 92,5OO for this book. = Albany

NEW CASTLE NEWS.

J. Elliott Riggs, who has been travelling
through the South, says the silver question
at present is handled the way the brass
icwelry was handled among the poor un-
thinking colored people after they were
declared as free people. In the South the
white worknen are harder worked than
the workmen of this section and their
wages are lower. Living must be accord-
ingly of a far poorer kind.
In conversation with free silverite OPP
posite the post office he said he could not
understand how the south could stand by
and allow its statesmen to come among the
workingmcn of the north and tell them
how much better off they will be when the
free and unlimited corage OF silver Will
be done by law. Weavers who earn ~ u
