BRICKMAKING IN ASIA.
Some of the Uncivilized Tribes Are More
SkilIfuI Than the Whites.

Some of the Uncivilized Tribes Are More
SEillfuI Than the Whites.
Youths Companion.l -
We should hardly expect to learn much
about the arts of civilized life from the
tribes of Central Asia, and yet, according
to M. Edouard Blanc, some of the inhabi-
tants Of Western Mongolia know how to
make better brick thau we can make. They
use the same material as we do, and singu-
larly enough the thing that gives superior
ity to their process of brickmaking is one
of the most powerful agents of Western
civilization, steam.
When tine bricks have been baked for
three days the opening of the oven is closed
with felt, which is kept wet, so that the
bricks, still intensely heated, are enveloped
in steam. This process causes remark
able change in the character of the bricks.
From red they turn gray, and at the same
time they acquire a remarkable degree OF
toughness and hardness. Although porous
they give out a sound when struck like that
of clink-stone, and they resist the effects of
the weather much better than do the bricks
of Europe and America.
Necessity, as usual, was the mother of
invention in this case, for the climate in
which these ingenious Mongols live is
subject to great extremes of Temperature,
which have a disastrous effect upon bricks
made by the ordinary process.

Evening Gowns in Paris.

Just at present evening dresses are engag-
ing the especial attention of the modistes.
A gown recently completed for bud who
will make her debut within few weeks is
q most charming confection, and, in its way,
is an ideal evening gown for very young
lady. The material of the body of the dress
is white bengaline, cut low but filled in at
the neck with accordion plated crepe de
chine. The long sleeves are of the same
diaphanous material as is used at the neck,
and are gathered in at the waist in bands of
silver passementerie. Over the close-ftting
bengaline skirt is one of accordlon-plaite ed
crepe de chine. Silver passementerie is
used on the bodice and at the foot of the
skirt.
Speaking of white gown, very beauti-
full dinner dress of white moire, vaguely
striped, which is in the hands of the mod
iste, that belongs to leading Chicago so
ciety woman, is well worth describing. It
is said to he an exact reproduction of q din
ner dress worn by Mile. Berthe Cerny, of
the Gymnase Theater in Paris. If this is
so Mile Cernv certainly has q very beauti-
full dress. The vague stripes are in pale
rose and blue in rainbow fashion. The waist
is draped fchu style in pink and orange
surah crossed back and front under corse-
let belt of pale green velvet Around the
waist is an outline of black plumes. The
enormous tillent velvet sleeves are encircled
at the elbow with plumes. These sleeves
have the seam open from the epaulet to the
elbow to display the arm. About the foot
of the demi-train skirt is band of fluffy
black ostrich plumes

SCALING THE FAMOUS MArrERHoRz.
How Three Persons Had t.. Give Up Their
Lives In the Attempt

How Three Persons Had t.. Give Up Their
Lives In the Attempt
"1 was one of party OF six, ;" said DR..
Welworth, of Oberlin College, O., in the
st. Louis Globe Democrat, "that left the vii
lage of Hartzberg, in Switzerland, one
August morning fe v years ago, to attempt
to scale the rocky heights of the Matter
horn. That feat has been accomplished since
by several Alpine climbers, and yet it is
still rare occurrence. Some day hope to
accomplish my desire, and look down from
its snow-capped peaks.
''We secured two guides, and having
ascended the first easy slopes, we came to
where the guides advised the use of the
chain system-that is, of taking long rope
and knotting it about the waist of each per-
son, ABOUT 20 feet apart. Then if one should
slip or fall he could not roll away, for the
others could assist him. We tied ourselves
together and resumed the ascent. Soon We
were high into the regions of cold winds,
and steadily nearing the clouds, that cap
the mountains peak. Several times one or
another of the men fell, and each time had
regained his position with the aid of the
rope. All at once a great cry came from
DeloW; the last three OF my companions
had slipped and fallen, and their combined
weight threatened to drag US all over the
cliff. I staggered under the load, as did the
second guide, who was close behind me, the
elder guide having taken the lead
'"The situation was precarious We were
all slipping from our positions The lead
ing guide at last lost his grip, and called
down from above to cat the rope. 1 did
not understand until the ouide haIow ma
drew knife and severed the rope between
himself and our last three companions
They rolled away over the precipiee and
we're no doubt crushed below. This freed
us of great weight, and we all regsined
our feet. Then we decided to retreat. The
guide seemed not to regret his action very
much. He said it was simply choice Of
three or eight deaths, and he preferred
three. 1t was an awful occurrence, but
to me the lawless, ethicless char
acter of necessity and selfpreservGtion.

A MINNEAPOLIS FAILURE.
Corser q Co., Real Estate Dealers, Fail
for 11,OOO,OOO.

Corser q Co., Real Estate Dealers, Fail
for a 81 100000.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 26-The failure of
the old real estate firm of E. s. Corser &
Co. is announced to-day. The liabilities
will reach a million dollars, but it is
thought the assets will more than cover all
obligations The cause of the failure was
not real estate and speculation but specula-
tion in wheat E S. Corser, the head of
the firm, has large farm in the Red River
Valley and raises grain, and i'll connection
with handling his own product has gone ex-
tensively into speculation. 1t is said upon
reliable authority that he has lost $3.50, 900
in wheat during the last few days
The firm consists of E. s. Corser, Lester
B. Elwood, Waiter E Badger, and Austin
L. Belknap. 1t is impossible to arrive at
the true state of affairs until a statement is
made tor the creditors. The real estate,
Mr. Corser thinks, is worth $1,000, 900
and the amount available for unsecured
creditors will largely depend upon the man
agement of the estate by the assignee. No
assignee has as yet been appointed. Corser
& Co., were managers of the New York
Lite building. The firm always stood high
in this city and could readily have secured
abundant assistance, it they had been
willing to accept it E S. Corser was
president of the Real Estate Board and has
Just declined reelection.

he hastened to the storeroom, ''if have

Abel Burgess bore the package to his
desk and turned over the contents There,
at the bottom, was that which he sought.
He opened it and scanned page after page.
He placed it in a compartment of his desk.
He rebound the bundle and bore it to its re-

his return from the storeroom? Such a
strong, vigorous man, why did he walk so
fee5ly?
Such cool, selfcontained man, why did

have just had few days among the
river diamond diggers, near Hebron, on the
Vaal. The work here is carried on by in
dividusl diggers, each man leasing his
claim and working it himself with the aid
of few n alive laborera They are motley
crowd, these diggers, and representative OF
every nationality. It's Ia hard ana pre-
carious existence.
Diamonds are few and far between, but
when found, nevertheless, they are gener-
ally of first-class quality and realize high
prices The diggers are mostly men of
very small means. Their tools and wash
ing gear are about all they have, and they
consequently live very poorly. Meal Of
rough quality is often the only food that
passes their lips from one months end to
another. This they usually get on credit
from some storekeeper, who furnishes them
with the bare necessaries of life on the off
chance of their finds. Most of the diggers,
OF course, have find some time or other,
though there are strange instances of i'll
luck following the quest of diamonds year
after year.
/ had conversation with one old man
who had been at this sort of work for 10
years, and 1 am afraid 10 say how long it is
since he has had turn of luck. He had
lived nearly all this time on meal, and there
he was toiling away at about the hardest
work man can undertake, vet seemed will
ing to go on to the end. This labor, how
ever, though heavy, has wonderful fascin-
alton for those who once take it up. A very
fine stone had been found s'few days before
my arrival. 1t was valued between e700
and $500. Toward the end of last month
two brothers had marvellous run of luck.
They found stones to the value of over e4,-
900 in very short space of time.

Fads for the Fashionable.

SUEDE gloves are still first favorites for
evening wear, though kid is now more worn
in the street. Lavender with black points
give away to pale tan, with either black
points or narrow lines of pale red stitching.
BLACK velvet dresses are in style both for
old and young They are to be enriched by
borders of brown and black fur and a belt,
collars and cuffs embroidered in jet and
gold. bonnet or toQue may be trimmed
with the same combination.
In Paris the new skirts are stiffened
around the bottom with steel. This seems
to be the natural precursor of the crinoline;
but though skirts are very much fuller, and
occasionally stiffened with horse hair to
make them stand out, it is very doubtful
whether hoops will ever really be the fash
ion again.
The sweeping changes in the shape of win
ter hats and bonnets have brought about q
new style of wearing the hair, termed "the
bun"-a very descriptive name for the big
round knot of hair which is soon to be the
fashion. 1t is worn low, though not so low
as the Langtry knot, and demands larger
amount of hair than the majority OF women
possess.

Bones of a Mammoth Animal Discovered
While Digging Well.
Los Angeles Times,l
E. K. Green, who is putting down q we'll
for a laundry company on Winston street,
below Main, made an interesting find yes
terday forenoon in the course of his work.
At depth of 40 feet below the surface lie
encountered, embedded in the gravel, .
hard substance in his digging, which, upon
examination, proved to be portions of the
skeleton of Eome mammoth animal, buried,
perhaps, hundreds Of years ago. The sub
stance was badly decayed, and readily
crumbled in the hands under pressure.
One of the largest pieces secured intact
was the ball Of q joint, which measured
some IL inches in diameter and several
times that number in circumference. Small
Ter portions OF bones, supposed to be pieces
of ribs and tuSks, were also unearthed.
Judging from the parts found the animal
must have been at least 20 feet in length.
The composition of the bones leaves no
doubt but what the remains were not those
of whale, but Ct some of the mammoths
of former centuries, so often found trace Of

Hints for Table Decorations.

The clever Partisan has discovered new
method of perpetuating the scent of flowers
at dinner table. A novelty has appeared
in the shape of small squares of biscuit
china "a tender cream color) and the in
ventor has found the means of impregnating e
them permanently with the perfume re-
quired. One one side flowers are painted.
The other contains the menu of the dinner
One is placed by the side of each guest,
and thus violet, rose, or any other flower
dinners can be given with less trouble than
before.
Perhaps some of my readers who live in
town and cannot readily command ferns or
other plants, have not tried the following
simple and very inexpensive substitute for
them. 1t consists of cutting off in thin
slices the heads or crowns of half dozen
carrots and placing them in as many saucers
or tiny vases, crown upwards, and nearly
covering them with water. After Q week
or SO they will begin to sprout, and delicate
fronds will continue to unfold and grow
during the winter months. Beetroot crowns
also succeed in this way, and form pretty
contrast to the lighter green of the carrot
