NOVEL CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Johann Simon Falls in Tan Pit and
Comes Out Cured.

Johann Simon, a tanner of Ulm,
France, has been cured of a rheu-
matte complaint of several years
standing as the result of falling into
a tan pit. Simon remained in the pit
for more than half an hour before he
was discovered and rescued He then
found himself completely cured of his
illness, with feeling of regeneration
permeating his limbs. The work of
tanning at Ulm being carried out by
an electrical process, the local medi.
cal faculty is attributing this strange
cure to the combined effects of the
electricity and the fannie acid in ex-
polling the uric acid from the mans
body. Simon's tanning yard is now
attracting hosts of visitors, and al
ready more than 100 rheumatic sub
jects have paid all the way from few
shillings to $40 each for the privilege
of standing in his tan pits.

NORWAY'S WINTER FUN.

Skeoo Furnish Not Only Sport but
Necessary Means of Travel.
1t Is during the Norwegian winter
that the most chara cteristic sports in
that country hold sway. When the
fiords are frozen after the snow has
fallen, the waher Is covered with the
bright, shining ice, and, like the gulls
during the summer, the Norwegian
boys glide about on their skates where,
in July and August they had crossed
In sailing boats. But when the snow
covers mountain, valley, and ford

sport, but also as a necessary way of
travelling.
The skees are made Of wood, gener.
ally OF ash. 1t Is the most suitable
wood for the purpose, but they can
also be made out of pine, or birch, OK
OF almost any wood in which the grain
runs straight, and which Is not too
knotted. But woods like ash, which
Is both hard and flexible, are admira.
bly, adapted for skee-making. The
skees are some ten feet long and about
four inches broad, and taper up in

groove about half an inch wide runs
all along the middle Of the skee from
front to back, giving a tendency to
keep It steady in one direction, and tn

of the middle of the skee, a loop is
made out Of twisted willow, or, in re.
cent years, frequently out of leather.
covered bamboo, forming a firm but
flexible support for the foot about two
inches back Of the toe. Another loon
of leather-covered bamboo runs from
the base Of the loop for the toes and
all around the heel, while one strap
combines the two sides of this loop I'M
der the foot. The skee-runner then
finishes the fastening by buckling a
strap over his instep.
This peculiar arrangement of looms
and straps allows the runner to move
