RIDING ON AN AVALANCHE
Down a Steep Canyon Without a
Bruise or q Scar.

Down a Steep Canyon without
Bruise or q Scar.
Few mountaineers 60 far enough
into the avalanche regions to see much
of them, and fewer still know the
thrilling exhilaration Of riding on
them. says John Muir in The Atlantic.
In all my wild mountaineering l have
enjoyed only one avalanche ride, and
the start was SO sudden and the end
came so soon thought but little OF
the danger that goes with this sort OF
travel, though one thinks fast at such
times.
One calm, bright morning in Yosemite,
after hearty storm had given three
or four feet Of fresh snow to the noun

avalanches as possible and gain wide
views of the peaks and forests array

shine had time to change or rearrange
them. set out early to climb by side

ridge little over 5000 feet above the
valley. But | was not to get top views
of any sort that day, but instead of
these something quite different, for
deep trampling near the canyon head
where the snow was strained started
an avalanche, and | was swiShed back
down to the foot of the canyon as If by
enchantment The plodding wallow-
ing ascent of about mile had taken
all day. the undoing descent perhaps
about n minute.
When the snow suddenly gave way,
| instinctively threw myself on my
back and spread my arms to try to
keep from sinking. Fortunately,
though the grade of the canyon was
steep. it was not interrupted by step
levels or precipices big enough to
cause outbounding or free plunging.
On no part of the rush was | buried.

Skin In Throwing on Mail BAGS.

The busiest clerk in any crew or car
Is the one who is detailed to receive
and throw off the sacks and pouches.
To lift heavy mail sack and throw it
from car moving at the rate Of mile
n minute Is matter Of good target
shooting. Looks easy enough" COM
mented one Of the veteran clerks at the
letter case, land it does seem as II a
man should be able to hit station
platform without much difficulty, but
you see that station Is passed and gone
In about one second. Then, the suction
of train running at this speed is some
thing terrific, and until the knack of
throwing a pouch is learned man is
liable to feed the wheels with few
letters. "-Saturday Evening Post.

CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.
Some of the PrerOgatives Which EN-
bassadOrs May Exercise.

A curious privilege of an ambassador
is that he and he alone when dismiss
ed may turn his back to the sovereign
to whose court he is accredited. The
mode of procedure is as follows:
When the ambassadors audience is
over. he waits to be dismissed by the
sovereign. When dismissed, the en-
baSsador bows. retires three PAGES.
bows again retires another three
PAGES. bows Il third time turns on his
heels and walks to the folding doors.
But it is felt that more polite methods
should obtain when the reigning soy
ercign is Il woman. TO turn his back
is to be discourteous, to walk back
ward is to resign privilege. The EN-
bassador retires sideways, like a crab.
He keeps one eye on the sovereign and
with the other tries to see the door.
He thus shows .politeness to the SOW
ereign and at the same time retains
one of his privileges. AS the embassa-
dor is usually an old gentleman, often
short sighted. he sometimes fails to
reach the door and comes in collision
with the wall.
Another privilege of ambassadors is
the right of being ushered into the
royal presence through folding doors,
both Of which must be flung wide
open. No one except an ambassador
can claim this privilege. The most
any nonembassadoria person can ex-
pect is that one Of the leaves shall be
opened to him. The reason for this
privilege is not known. There are GER
tain irreverent suggestions that have
been made. but we prefer to be silent
with regard to them.
Another privilege, capable Of causing
great inconvenience, is the embassa-
doris right of admission to the SOW
ereign at any hour of the day or night.
Thus the minister representing some
little bankrupt state could 60 down to
Windsor and demand an audience at
o'clock in the morning. The audience
would have to be granted, though 1t
could be delayed by the exercise of in
genuity.-Chambers' Journal.

A New Floor Covering.

The floor covering Of bedrooms Is en-
tirely q matter of taste. Many object
to the hard wood floor even when well
covered with rugs. For the country
house foundation of denim for the
bedroom floor is excellent, says the
New York Tribune. 1t is as cool and
clean as mating, is easily cleaned and
has not the odor that accompanies near
ly all matting-an odor which many
people find Objectionable. Rugs show
we'll on the blue denim, particularly the
cotton Japanese rugs in blue and drab
or blue and white.

dissolved in one teaspoonful Of hot wa
