RULES FOR SKATERS.
Captain Johnson Given Timely Advice to
the Venturesome.
Captain C. W. Johnson of the tug D.
L. Libbey and a resident of Winneconne,
has, from a thorough knowledge of the
difficulties and dapgers which beset the
skater, when he goes through the ice,
compiled a list of precautionary meas
ures, which he does not expect to bo
followed explicitly, but which he is in
hopes will be heeded by the venture
some.
His timely warning contains excellent
advice to all skaters, and the suggestions
are as follows:
First.—When you go skating take a
ball of strong cord, to one end of which
is attached a heavy fish sinker, so that
if any one goes through the ice you can
stand far enough away from the hole
and yet render them assistance by throw
ing the weighted end of the line to them.
Second.—ls you go through the ice
where there is a strong current, try and
keep at the up river end of the hole.
Rest your arm on the edge of the ioe if
possible, but do not attempt to climb
out alone, for you will lose the strength
which you will need when assistance ar
rives. If a person remains perfectly qui
et, the cold water does not circulate
through his clothes and his body re
mains warm. Use every effort to keep
away from the down river end of the
hole, for the current will sweep you un
der the ice in a twinkling.
Third.—ls no help is near, rest one
arm on the ice, raise the foot carefully
and one skate can be removed very eas
ily. Take off the other skate in the same
manner, and then with these to aid you
your safety is assured.
Fourth.—ls you hear any one call for
help, do not hasten to the spot unless
you have a pole, bush or something that
will be of assistance to them.
Fifth.—Best of all, keep off the ice
under which there is a strong current.
Captain Johnson has saved 13 persons
from watery graves during his lifetime.

THE CURRENT FRENCH CRAZE.
Extreme Legislation Promised as the Re
sult of the Spy Mania.
The succession of fanatical crazes in
which the French people have been in
dulging in the past two years has placed
upon the statute books some of thomost
monstrous laws that ever disgraced a
monarchy, not to say a democracy. The
present spy mania promises to add some
amazing legislation ot this description.
The law against espionage laid before
the chamber by the minister of war,
now awaiting enactment, is of this char
acter. Tiie protended purpose of the bill
is to enable the penalty of death against
traitors, such as Captain Dreyfus, to be
inflicted, but it contains a number of
insidious clauses which would enable a
government not troubled with scruples
of conscience to get rid of its enemies
by trumping up spurious charges of dis
closing stato secrets.
For instance, it proposes to inflict five
years’ imprisonment and 10,000 francs’
fine on any unqualified person who shall,
even without intent of espionage, have
procured, got hold of or published any
plans, documents or information con
cerning the national defense or the ex
ternal safety of the state. This proposal
is strongly denounced by the opposition
newspapers, and even the ministerial
Debats admits that it is going a little
too far. It is hardly surprising that
some of the London newspapers are de
claring that the only safety for foreign
ers is to stay away from France. —Paris

PULLMAN’S NARROW ESCAPE.
Cholly Tells ITa the Baron Came Pretty
Near Pulling the Duke's Nose.
Baron Otto von Fritsch, a very clever
and agreeable German nobleman, is in
town on a visit and tells a good story
of how he was offered SI,OOO to pull
George Pullman’s nose in Chicago the
other day.
It seems that the baron was the duke’s
agent at the Chicago exhibition and had
charge of the Pullman exhibit in the
Transportation building.
He found Pullman a hard taskmaster,
and being rather hot tempered himself
he finally quarreled with his employer
and told him to go to the deuce.
A Chicago newspaper beard of the
quarrel and sent a representative to the
baron offering him SI,OOO in cash if he
would pull George Pullman’s nose in
public.
The baron longed to accept the offer
and would have done so had bis accounts
with the millionaire been settled.
He restrained his desires, settled his
accounts and then offered to do the job
for half the original sum, but the paper
was then bent oa another sensation, and
the negotiations fell through.
I wonder if the duke knows how very
near his nasal organ came to getting a
“dommed bad twist. ” —Cholly Knick
erbocker in New York Recorder.
“My Awful Dad.”
Kate Field writes from England:
“Apropos of Albert memorials, the
newly erected statue in Hyde park is
the most hideous thing the human eye
ever beheld. The figure is seated, en
veloped in a great robe. As the bronze
is gilded, it is impossible to view the
shining mass when the sun falls upon
it. From the back the statue looks like
a huge gilded pill and is familiarly call
ed ‘Albert the Gilt. ’ They say that when
the Prince of Wales first beheld it he
threw up his hands, exclaiming, ‘My
awful dad!’ thus pertinently applying
the title of Charles Mathews’ last com
edy. The Edinburgh memorial far out
shines—metaphorically, I mean—the
Hyde park monstrosity.”

Uoston's Latest Fad.
A fad in the shape of ‘‘fairy stones’
has come to light in Boston. The stone
seems to be a bit of petrified earth, with
what looks like a cross marked upon it,
and is said to come from St. Patrick, in
Virginia, where there is a mountain
full of them, supposed to have been
planted there by the fairies as far back
as the days of the crucifixion. Believers
in such things or folks who love to pick
up fads are having those fairy stones
mounted as pins, watch charms, etc.
