FLIGHT or A FAMILY
Thrilling Eacspe From an Island in the
Chippewa River.


Chippewa River.
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 3.-A special to
the Dispatch from Chippewa Falls, Wis,
says: A thrilling escape Of a family OF
fiye persons four miles below this place
occurred this morning. A man named
Baker lived with his family, consisting
OF his wife, two small girls and a boy, IN
house built upon an island in the Chip
pewa river The ice had piled up formid
ably about the dwelling and seemed 10
threaten every minute to crush il like an
egg shell. so they determined 10 abandon
1t and make for the shore. Baker strap
ped the younger girl TO his back and Mrs.
Baker did the same for the boy. The old
er girl then grasped her fathers hand
and the little party set out on their peril
GUS journey across the mountainous
gorge and made for the shore. They
leaped from cake 10 cake advancing with
considerable rapidity until they reached
point where the ice had formed a
gorge, Without hesitation they started
back to Chamber up the slippery enlinence
When about half way up the oldest girl
slipped and relied back but was rescued
by her father and the race went on. BY
this time a large crowd of spectators had
gathered on the shore and Were shouting
cheers of encouragement TO the brave
little family After a desperate struggle
they finally reached the firm ice near the
shore where the waiting spectators lent
their assistance and the little party was
in safety

CATTLEMEN ARE UNEASY

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 3.-Cattle men in
the range country are beginning 70 get
a little nervous in regard to the pros
poets The direct damage to stock from
the storm will not be great if the re-
mainder of the winter should be favor
able. In the old days it would have been
little less than a calamity, for the feed
on the range is now all covered with ice
and cattle can rustic nothing. What
Nebraska cattlemen are fearful of is that
they viii run out Of feed before spring,
and there is little doubt byt that many OF
them will. There is large quantity Of
fodder put up this year-more, in fact,
than comnon-but the winter has set
in so much earlier that it will require

Restrictive Measure.


Restrictive Measure.
Local physicians are discussing the
point of an immigration bill pending
before the New Zealand parliament
with view to calling the attention OF
congress to similar protective meas
ure. The bill in question is 70 prevent
coasumptives from entering the coun-
try. To effect that object the captain
of any ship who lands a passenger suf-
fering from lung disease is liable TO
penalty of $3.50 for every offense, and if
during the voyage he is proved TO have
with another passenger, an additional
fine is thereby incurred. Further
more, there is a provision which holds
captain personally responsible and
liable to fine If, three months after
landing his passengers, any one OF
them should develop lung disease
Fancy a captain of nervous tempera-
ment laboring under this law, suggests
the st. james Budget. Given that he
has started with a list of passengers
free from all palpahle lung disease, still
his life would not be worth living.
Every cough, every splutter from
crumb in the throat as his passengers
sat at meals, would woald serve to
dangle the fine demon before his eyes.
One can imagine q captain getting into
such O state of mind as to secretly slip
overheard any Passenger developing a
genuine cough. Men have done worse
for less than $3.50. One can follow him
on shore. Having landed his passen-
gers, he is still within the clutches of
the state. Weeks afterward he may be
dining on shore. He hears a cough at
table. A cold sweat comes in beads On
his forehead as he recognizes a passcn-

MAKING HAIRPINS.
The Process of Manufacture-C1ose At.
 tention Is Necessary.

The Process of Msnufacture-Ciose Att
 tention Is Necessary.
 For ages, says the Chicago Chron- isle, the English and French controlled the manufacture of .hairpins, and it is only within the last 20 years that the goods have been produced in other countries to any extent. The machinery used is of delicate and intricate char acter, as the price at which the pins are. sold necessitates the cheapest and most rapid progress, which can only be pro- cured by automatic machines. The wire is made expressly for the purpose and put up in large coils, which are placed in a clamp and so carried to the ma chimes while being strengthened. This machine cuts, bends, ard, by deli cate and Instantaneous process, sharp ems the points. Running at full speed, it will turn out 12O hairpins every min- Ute. To economize, it is necessary to keep the engine going day ard night. The difficult part of the work is iii the enameling, which is done by dipping the pins in preparation and baking in an oven. It is here that the most con stant and careful attention is required as the pins must be absolutely smooth and the enamel have perfect polish. The slightest particle of dust causes i'm perfections and roughness.
