hOLDEN'S LAST HOURS.

Sheriff Mead went to New Ulm last
evening, and will probably return with
the condemned prisoner this morning,
to avoid the crowd of curiosity seekers
on the route as far as practicable. Be-
sides his deputies from this county,
Sheriff Shmelz of Brown county will
act as deputy for the occasion. The
law authorizes the presence at the ex-
ecution of the clergymen and three
friends to be designated by the pris-
oner, and a physician and such other
persons as the sheriff may designate,
not exceeding six, besides the sheriff
and his assistants. Newspaper repre-
sentatives are specifically excluded.
The story of Holden's conviction
for the murder of Frank Dodge two
years ago last November, his arrest OF
sentence by appeal to the highest court
in the land, are too familiar to readers
of this paper to justify repetition here.
Holden at New Ulm.
Review: Clifton Holden has less
than two days to live, but, notwith-
standing that, he does not seem much
depressed and eats with apparently as
good an appetite as before he was in
formed that he would be hung. When
told by the sheriff last week that all
hope had vanished and that nothing
remained for him now but rope, he
took the announcement with unusual
GOODNESS. Heretofore he has manifest
ed great interest in the outcome of his
case, and whenever it was limited that
his chances we're slim, bis excitable ma
ture caused him to refuse to eat any
thing, to curse his accusers and the
authorities and even feign insanity
Now that every dodge has been worked
he seems willing to consign himself tc
his fate and take things as they come
As to the crime-that of numbering
his cousin-he still processes innocence
When his brother was here, he was
told that everything had been done 70,
him that could be done, and then was
asked to say whether he was really
guilty or not. He insisted that he was
not, and said that in time the people
would find out that he spoke the truth
The execution will take place at
Redwood Falls Friday morning before
day-break. Sheriff Mead will be in
charge and in order to avoid delay, the
prisoner will be removed to Redwood
Falls to-day.

To Make a Home Out of a Household.

There is nothing more helpful in the
way of economizing time, and thus get
ting the most out of day, than to have
a little preliminary outline of the things
to be done. 1t need not crystalline into
the hardness of a definite programme,
for human life is very flexible and adj
Unstable thing, and the time for one
duty may need to be condensed and for
beyond ones power to foretell but in a
certain clearly-define order, engage
ments and affairs can be much better
fulfilled than if day is entered upon
with no preparation. For instance, if
one has shopping to do, and can reach
the mercantile house by eight or soon
after, she can accomplish more in one
hour than in three later in the day.
And with memoranda of the articles
needed arranged in groups, her efforts
are greatly facilitated. And so with
the morning correspondence. If one
will give to the varions notes and letters
the immediate attention of an hour,
the timeliness saves vast amount of
time later. A note answered at once is
off ones mind, and while the momen-
tum of interest carries it on and makes
an immediate reply easy, a belated one
has corresponding friction to overcome.
That one has not done thing is often
reason why one can not do it, by
some vague, invisible oppression. If,
in laying out day, all shopping or err
rands could be accomplished within the
first hour or two after breakfast, the
notes and letters of immediate import
answered, and the morning news read
and the house arranged in entire order
before luncheon, then there is a clear
afternoon for receiving guests, for max
ing calls, for whatever incidents or ac-
cidents may happen-leisure to take adj
vantage of the pleasant impromptu af-
fairs that may come up, which, if one
were still under the burden of accumu-
lations of the day, could hardly be en-
joyed. OF course such a basis as th s
presupposes rather early rising, and
this is dependent on the early retiring
This plan is often easily comprised in
summer, while in winter early retiring
as rule, means the missing of theaters
operas or other entertainment whose
loss defrauds life of just so much rich
ness or gain. But the early sleep of
the summer enables one to lose it when
necessary during the season, with far
less injury than if ii were not enjoyed

outline of the days duties, made the

Artificial Ice.

The scientific fact on which the max
ing of artificial ice depends is that, when
a liquid evaporates, it uses up a great
deal of heat, which it draws from any
thing that happens to be around it. If
a can of water is at hand, its tempera-
ture is reduced, and if the action goes
far enough, the water will be frozen.
The cooling action can be felt by pour
ing a little ether or alcohol upon the
hand. The liquid evaporates rapidly,
and the loss of the heat which it takes
up cools the hand very perceptibly. If
bottle containing water is kept wet on
the outside with ether, the evaporation
will chill the water and eventually free re
it. This is essentially the process by
which the cdrWeS froppees of French
restaurants are produced. The ocean.
tiers, filed with fresh water, are set in
shallow tanks containing brine, which
remains liquid below the temperature
at which fresh water freezes. In con.
tact with these tanks are receivers
which can be kept charged with newly.
formed ether vapor. The chilling vapol
coos the brine, and this in turn takes
heat from the water in the decanters
which soon freezes. In making ice on
the large scale, either ammonia or sui
phurous oxide is used instead of ether,
because these substances are cheaper
and are not inhammable.-F. 4. Fer
Maid, IN Popular Science Monthly.

peculiar to itself, which, while not
visible to the ordinary buyer, can be
instantly perceived by the expert.
Calfskins are good-looking, soft and
pliable, but are apt to crack. This fault
is not found in coltskins, which are
durable and handsome, and in many
respects make model gloves. The
wrinkles are Objectionable, but these
disappear when the glove is on the
hand. The jacks of Venezuela con-
tribute the majority of deerskins at
present. The castor comes from the
antelopes of the West. Heavy leather
gloves are obtained from elks. Hog
skins are used to a moderate extent.
Patnas, or Calcutta oX.hides, are also
used.
Every invoice of heavy skins con-
tains more or less curiosities, and the
kind of leather that will be evolved
from a stray moose, musk-ox or
kangaroo skin depends upon the skins
that accompany it. Dogskins are occa-
sionally made up into gloves, but their
use is very uncommon. Everything
that goes by the name of dogskin now
adays is likely to be Cape sheep. Rat
skin gloves are about as frequent as rat
sautes in Chinese laundries. "-Ne,C

Humor.

Write a humorous story, and your
fame is secure. You are heralded
throughout the world, your light cannot
be hid under bushel. No really witty
thing can remain unknown; it loosens
peoples tongues, makes them oblivious
for the moment to the vexations of life,
and is sought for with eagerness.
Therefore the high esteem in which the
humorist is held. Not one in thou
sand possesses this gift. The writer of
a clever story may weave into it amusing
incidents, may introduce characters
more or less laugh-provoking, but the
serious side outweighs these, and the
story is most properly rounded off with
a thoughtful reflection or suggestion
upon the Importance of the dull pro-
priety of existence. How many poor
play has been saved by the mirth-pro-
vOking sallies of one of its characters!
How much clever verse brightens the
pages of some instructive magazine
Wit and humor have each their defini-
ton. Mr.. Whipple defines them as fol-
lows: CO Wit exists by antipathy; hui
NOR by sympathy. Wit laughs at things
humor laughs with them. Wit lashes
external appearances, or cunningly ex-
aggerates single foibles into character;
humor glides into the heart of its OBJ
ject, looks lovingly on the infrmities it
detects, and represents the whole man.
Wit is abrupt, darting, scornful, and
losses its analogies in your face; humor
is slow and shy, insinuating its fun into
your heart. Wit is negative, analytical,
destructive; humor is creative. The
couplets of Pope are witty, but Saucho
Panza is humorous creation. Old DIR.
Fuller's remark that "a negro is the
image of God cut in ebony is humor-
GUS; Horace Smiths version of it,
that the taskmaster is the image of the
devil cut in ivory is witty. Wit can
co-eXist with fierce and malignant pas
sions; but humor demands good-feeling
and fellow-feeling-feeling not merely
for what is above us, but for what is
around and beneath US. "-BoSton TrdU-
