A Servtceable Anger Hole.

The newspapers of Minneapolis are $.

author OF the new law respecting the
hanging Of criminals, says a MinneapoEs
dispatch to the st. Louis Republic. He
was shocked at the stories that were pub.

hanging of the Barrett brothers in
this city. The Legislature being then in
session and Mr.. Smith a member from,
Minneapolis, he framed a law tha.'
passed, fOrbidding newspapers to publish
more than bare announcements Of hang
ings.
The condemned man, under the new
law, is permitted to name three witnesses.
who with the sheriff, deputy sheriff, the
coroner n a doctor, constitute the spec
tators at any legal hanging. Reporters
are strictly barred, and the execution
must occur between midnight and sunrise
on the day named by the governor.
The law was put to a practical test 81
l:45 O'Clock this morning, when ALDER.

Of Little Falls, for the murder Of FranE
Eicb, of Koyalton, n day last October.

would about be the only person who
could tell the eNact number, and I'm
afraid that he would not be willing to

"Oh, in pleasant weather, of course.
You take a pleasant day and we are
busy here from morning until night.
About the only day that we get any sort
Of rest is when the weather is stormy.
Whenit rains we have a great Ioafng day,
but we get it hard if the day is pleasant.
Then ii is a continuous hustle. The kind
Of shoes we like to go up against the day
after a storm are patent feathers. 1t is
little or no trouble to varnish them"
DO you have any other duties2"
"Ob, yes; blacking boots is supposed
to be simply a pastime. We have to
hustle Il with trunks whenever called
upon by the head porter. This we do by
turns. A new man generally has plenty
OF turns until he begins 10 tumble to the

The facility with which a bootbiack
makes a shoe shine like diamonds has been
remarked by everyone, but it is doubtful
if any one has thought out the PROPOSE
ton that when the knight of the brush is
through he leaves your footgear bristling
with diamonds. Diamonds are nothing
but c~rystallzed carbon. Backing, which
IS comeback. is little more when moist.
ened than carbon paste, and the friction
of a hair brush being one of the most
efficient methods of generating electricity,
has the effect Of cryetalizing the carbon
OF the hlacking. AS Don as this is done
the boot is covered with millions Of in
fnitely small diamonds, and Of course
begins to shine as a mass of diamonds
would. This is not a perfect explanation
Of the phenomenon, but it is good as far
as ii goes.-Shoe and Leather Review.

water and sprinkle this upon three pounds
of the cut clover with two pounds of buck

pretty much what the superior intelligence
