coASTING IN THE ALPS.
Descending Long Decliv;tY in Novel

and Exciting Way.
81 had coasting experience dur
ing visit to Switzerland that was
as exciting as it was novel, :" re-
marked H. P. Woodson, of Philadel-
phia. Zone day we made up par
ty of four ladies and as many gentle
men to make short trip up among
the Alps. Arriving at the top of a
great declivity of frozen snow, our
guide stopped, and, addressing him
self to the ladies, asked how they
would enjoy coasting down the hill?
AS we had brought no sleds with us or
any other contrivance for coasting,
the ladies looked at him in astonish-
ment and asked him to explain. This
he did, and we followed his instruc-
tions to the letter. Each of the gen.
tlemen folded his overcoat in four
and the lady. whom he-was to pilot
down the hill took 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 at given signal
we started off, dragging our COM
panions, laughing and ,uttering lit
tie shrieks, after us. We went down
the hill like q shot, and at the bot
tom arose trifle giddy, but other
wise none the worse for our expert

RESIN IN BEER KEGS.
Svhy It Is Ussd as Inside Coating
OF Kegs and Vats.
why the Liquids Is Never Allowed to Come
Into Contact with Wood The OPP
T. erations Necessary In Coat
ing u ke-.

ing heS.
! II you should happen to get o
Ismack Of resin in your glass of beer,
Jas it is quite likely you may. don't
imagine that the brewers are sub
stituting pine shavings for malt and
hops to make the beer from. The
reason why you may detect resin
flavor is that this is the season when
1.-The brewers pitch their kegs.
1t may interest you to know beer
never comes into contact with
wood, either in the kegs in which it
Iis delivered or In the great watts in
(which it is fermented. If it did, the
wood would sour and spoil the beer.
1.-The vats are protected on the inside
with repeated coatings of shellac
yarnish, renewed whenever It's nec-
Iessary. This used to be an exceed
ingly dangerous operation. before
the general introduction of incan-
descent electric lights, for any open
light was liable to set fire to the
fumes of the alcohol used in the var
lnish and produce disastrous explo-
sions in which men were manned or
killed.
The pitching of the kegs is an in
teresting process. When q keg is
empty and the bung and vent plugs
are out, stick a lighted candle into
the bung and look into the vent hole.
You will think you are looking into
glass barrel. Every part of the
inside glistens. The keg has a COM
plete coat of resin. After years
use this gets many minute cracks in
it and needs to be renewed, and the
lepringtime is the brewers favorite
thine for doing this.
/: Before the new resin is put in, the
old coating is to be melted out. A
curious machine with two arms is
the first of the devices that comes
into use.
The kegs are hung on this, with
an arm of fire thrust into the vent
hole. Presently stream of boiling
lresin comes from the open tap. The
lkeg is taken off, tipped over a bar
lrel, where the waste resin is poured
Iout, and passed to a cooper. He
sounds the heads, discards the keg if
lit is defective, but if not drives a
lplug of wood home in the vent, and
ipasses the keg on. One man now
ipokes a long-handled funnel into
the tap hole, and another pours
|ladleful of boiling resin into the keg
from the kettle.
A cooper seizes the keg, drives an
Iother wooden plug home into the
Itop hole, and gives the keg some
curious twirls which spread the
resin over every part Of it's interior.
Then he knocks both plugs out and
ltosses the keg upon a set of rollers
IgQing slowly around by steam
power. Here the surplus resin runs
out and the keg rolls until the resin
which remains eools and sets.
The kegs are now rolled into the
wash house, ranged up upon end,
the resin burned out of the vent and
tap holes, new plug put in the
vent, and the kegs filled with water.
The water is meant to soak out the
resin taste. As fast as these opera
ltions are finished a man with paint
pot and brush follows along the line
and puts dab of paint on the front
'of each keg., II the kegs were
marked with white at the last pitch
ing time he uses red, or white if it
was red before. Y. Sun.

tended as a dover for Lille. At the
time the Worlds fair was in progress
Mrs. Johnson determined that the girl
should have every opportunity to be-
hold the exposition that has passed
into history as one of the wonders of
the world, and accordingly placed Lille
in a boarding house close to Jackson
park. Chicago. There she met Lucas.
He is handsome and accomplished, and
his evident admiration pleased the sus-
ceptible girl.

"She says she promised to marry
him and acquainted him with the fnan-
cial affairs of her grandmother He be-
came a frequent visitor to the John
son home at Valparaiso, and according
to the old lady's statement called her
grandma and Lille honey He told
them, she alleges, that he had large

who would back him for any amount.
He further told them that he was q
reporter on the Chicago Tribune, and
an official reporter in one of the Grim
inal courts of Cook county, Ill. Mrs.
johnson further states that Lucas told
her that when he married she should
be until death an honorary member of
the household.
'About this time, his accusers alege,
Lucas whispered to Mrs. Johnson that
money could be made by investing in
Chicago lots, and he soon had about
$4,000 of her money for that purpose,
giving her his note as security there
for, with his friend Hall as endorser.
Some time later he notified Miss Irwin
that he could never marry her and
ceased to visit Valparaiso.
"Then an investigation was made and
1t was found that there was no such
firm as Hall & Pierson in Denver; that
Lucas owned no real estate in Chicago,
and that he had not been employed on
the Chicago Tribune as reporter.
Mrs. Johnson at once determined to
prosecute Lucas and swore out war;
rants charging him with larceny, en-
bezzlement and obtaining money under
false pretenses."
Lucas said yesterday at police head
quarters that he had no intention of
defruding Mrs. Johnson and that he
would have married Miss Irwin had not
the young lady's conduct made 1t i'm
possible.

Is remembered that the most clever cleo
