APRONS USEFUL AND ARTISTIC.
One Of the seasons innovations is the
apron. 1t is dainty, beruffied and pic
turespue. and is to be worn both or
namentally and for use. But even the
useful ones are so pretty and becoming
as to make every girl feel industrious.
They come in coarse linens. holland
and crash, and are trimmed with bands
OF contrasting color or braid. Make
them with ruffies running over the
sleeve tops and a poke shape belt of
some soft material, perhaps percale.
One that is striking and becoming to
q brunette is of turkey red. 1t has the
advantage, too. Of not soiling so easily
as lighter colored materials.
The woman who does her own house
work will find the artist apron q good
one and very comfortable to work in.
It is usually made Of striped or check
ed gingham.
The dainty little sewing aprons are
made of some pretty colored or flow
cred muslin cut in squares or circles,
with very full frills all round. and
tiny pockets set on. The prettfest ones
can be made from large handker-
chiefs.-New York American.

BUYING Eurs in Siberia.

The stock of fur-bearing animals in
| America is far from exhausted, but it
| is steadily diminishing, even in Can
ada. The worlds supply now comes
largely from other sources. The Am
erican consul at Vladivo8tok, Siberia
says that representative of bust
ness house in the United States has
been there recently, and has offered
what are regarded high prices for
furs He says that from % to 33 cents
were paid for squirrel skins and $5.41
for fox skins. At such prices the
merchants will naturally stop the
transportation of furs to Irbit and 9TH
er places of fur trade. From the
Trans-Baikal province comes the news
that sable hunting last winter was
great success. The number of sable
skins on hand is larger than in any Of
the preceding seasons. Buyers avail
themselves Of this abundance and Of
fer the hunters very low prices. The
average price paid to the hunters is
from S12.88 to $15.45. The buyers ex-
pect to make 800 percent profit on the
purchased sables.
The high price of furs for the last
few years has attracted foreign mer-
chants 70 this region. An American
from New York went by way of Irk-
utsk early in the season. ana visited
the whole maritime coast He pur-
chased chiefly sables paying from
$18.03 to $3S.63 apiece, purchasing in
I all, it is said, $77,250 worth. He got
