A CoAsrIyG EXPERIENCE IN THE Alps

From The St Louis Globe Democrat.
II had a coasting experience during visit to
Switzerland that was as exciting as II was novel;"
remarked II. p. Woodson. OF Philadelphia, last
evening. zone day We made up party OF four
ladies and as many gentlemen TO make short
trip up among the Alps. Arrvins at the top OF
great declivly OF frozen snow, our guide stopped,
and addressing himself to the ladies' asked how
they would enjoy coasting down the hill? As we
had brought no sleds with any other con-
trivance for coasting the ladies' looked at him In
astonishment and asked him to explain. This he
did and we followed his Instructions TO the letter.
Each OF the gentlemen folded his overcoat in four
and the lady whom he was to pilot down the hill
took "A seat on her shawl. the ends OF which she
wound about her feet. directly behind him. the
gentleman holding her firmly by the ankles. Then
al a given signal started Off. dragging our
Companions. laughing and utterng little shrieks;
after us We went down the hill like a shot. ana
at the bottom arose a trihe glddy.. but otherwise
mona the worse for our experience"
