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. —Oshkosh Northwestern. 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 Letter. NOTICE.

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.” RELIEF IN SIX HOURS.

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. Boston Letter.

A reient discovery ts that headachy dlttinoM, dullness, confusion of tha mind, , etc., are due to derangement of the nerve i centers which supply the brain with nerve i forces that Indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, , wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derange ment of the nerve centers supplying these or gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise true of many diseases of the heartand lungs. The nerve systemlslike a telegraph system, as will be seen by the accompanying cut.
