RIDING ON AN AVALANCHE.
Miraculous Escape of Seven Tourists in the Alps from Being Ground
 to Pieces.

Seven Alpine tourists, representing five different nationalities-namely, two EngIishmen, German count and his valet, young Russian lady, a Dutch man, and Swiss guide, lately had an extraordinary escape from destruction by an avalanche, reports the London Mail of recent date.
 The party started from Arosa to as- cend the Aroser Weisshorn, on ski When about TOO feet from the summit, which is S,710 feet above sea level, the steepness of the ascent and the hard ness Of the snow necessitated the remov- al of the ski, and the party proceeded on foot. When nearing the top an inn mense avalanche suddenly rushed down the mountain side.
 Most of the party immediately sat down to receive the impact on their backs, and some succeeded in riding the waves of snow with tolerable success for some distance Then came a series of somersaults Five Of the party were involved in the avalanche and four were swept down to the bottom of the slope, 3 distance of about 700 feet, arriving in all manner of attitudes
 The German count collided with a rock and was cut in the face; the Dutch man finished up in a standing posture buried in snow to his chin. The Rus sian lady was the first to extricatc her. self, and behaved throughout with won- derful pluck and endurance
 Wonderful to relate, no bones were broken and all escaped with a few bruises and scratches and reached Arosa in safety. Had not the ski been taken of before the accident, serious results must almost certainly have ensued.

A Cunning Youngster.

The little girl had been bad, and her stern father had punished her and put her to bed Her fond mother, realizing the necessity for discipline, had kept as far as possible out of sight and hearing while the tragedy was in prog ress. Now she was downstairs, while the paternal parent sat beside the bed side of his erring offspring.
 Daddy" said the little girl finally, please go downstairs and get me a bottle of milk"
 ''No, Clara he said "You have just eaten your supper, and don't think you had better have any more"
 Silence reigned for few minutes. Then the child spoke again.
 Daddy, please go downstairs any way"
 What do you want me to go down stairs for, Clara P
 Because just as soon as you get down to the bottom of the stairs I'll cry real loud, and then nanny I'll hear me and come running up to lie down with me. Chicago Tribune.

MAKING OF PANAMA HATS.
Colombia and Ecuador Produce the Best-Women Employed
 in the Work.

The season has not arrived for
 use of straw hats in the United States yet, but the manufacture of them is al- ways in order, especially in tropical
 countries, says the New York Tribune. The so-called Panama hat is usually
 regarded the most serviceable article
 of that class, though it is rather costly. Hats of this kind are made in Colombia and Ecuador. The best of them, how
 ever, come from Colombia. The Amer ican consul general at Bogota says that
 the art might we'll be introduced into
 the Philippines, because the fan-leaved palm, from which they are manufac- tured, would grow there. It would only be necessary to send a competent per- son to teach this art to the Filipinos.
 Young shoots, uniform in size, are
 cut from the plant and boiled to a cer- tain stage, being softened thereby and brought to a light yellow color. The
 process of boiling appears to be an art
 in itself, and only few people can turn out good straw. The boilers sell the straw at so much pound, ac-
 cording to quality and the prevailing price of hats.
 When the proper boiling point is
 reached, the shoots are put up to dry
 and the leaves quickly separated. This
 is done indoors, where there is cur
 rent of air, but no sunshine. When the
 leaves are nearly dry they are split with a little Y-shaped instrument of
 wood so that all good leaves are of the same size. When left alone to dry
 the leaves curl in at the edges and are
 then ready for use, and at this point
 the straw is carefully wrapped in clean cloths, as the lights and dry atmos-
 phere will spoil it. When finished the straw is carefully pared with a pocket
 knife and then battered all over with small hand maui, after which 1t is
 washed with common yellow soap and | a little lime juice and left to dry, away from the sunlight.
 Tn the Suaza district they make the
 hats on solid wooden blocks, two to four persons generally women-sit-
 ting opposite each other and working
 steadily Four women can make the
 average quality hat in six or seven days, while a fine one requires three to six weeks.
 Long training is necessary to become
 a good halter, and the girls are started l at the work at the very early age of ten years and must practice constantly.
 Matters work every day from early
 morning. wasting very little time in eating, and often carrying on their
 work by candlelight, so as to finish in time for market day, for the loss of
 an hour may mean to them the loss of market day and the corresponding inconveniences caused by the loss of
 the money which would have been ac- quired from the sale of the hat

FEW STOVES IN MEXICO
Fireplaces and Furnaces Are Mostly in Use for Cooking and Heat
 ing Purposes.

Heating is not of so much importance here is lighting, because of Durango splendid climate. Despite the altitude of over 5000 feet, it is not often the thermometer goes below the freezing point at night during winter, and 24 degrees Fahrenheit is reported to be the usual minimum. In so dry an at mosphere greater cold than this can be endured without discomfort. The peo- pie here are, as usual in such countries, more inured to the cold they have than people coming even from colder eli mates, especially Americans, accus- toned to furnace-heated houses. Most of the houses in Durango have, there- fore, had no other arrangement for heating than was provided by the char coal braziers of brick masonry in the kitchen. If necessity arose, a rather crude charcoal brazier of metal is placed in the sitting room, warming it somewhat, but also vitiating the air. The newer houses here are now being provided with f1replaces; some few have furnaces. The American resi- dents, who in most cases can find no houses with fireplaces, either provide them or use oil stoves. Wood stoves can be used by sticking the stovepipes out of the windows or into the court yards; few houses have chimneys.
 Anyone having a patent heater of any sort, suitable for such conditions and needed for use mornings and nights, mig4-. find an opening here, certainly. with the American residents and perhaps with the native popula- ton. If burning oil, it should not be the usual crude, malodorous and unhy- gienic oil heater.
 Cooking stoves are, as indicated, lit tie sold here. Charcoal is the cheaper fuel, and the people are used to the open braziers to cook on. When the timber resources of western Durango are more developed, there may be a better market for some lines of cook stoves.
