The Bishop of Hereford, in England,
was examining a school class, the other
day, and, among other things, asked
what an average was. Several boys
pleaded ignorance, but at last one re-
piled, sit is what hen lays on" This
answer puzzled the Bishop not little !;
but the boy persisted in it, stating that
he had read it In his little book of facts.
He was then told to bring the little
book, and, on doing so, he pointed tri-
umphantly to paragraph commencing,
"A domestic hen lays on an average
fifty eggs each year"

''MY DEAR" said an affectionate wife
to her husband, who had been sick for
several days, "when you were well, you
were in the habit of eating twelve apple
dumplings-now you are sick, how
many shall l make yOu?" SWELL" re-
piled the husband, II reckon you may
make eleven to-day; but be particular
and make them a little larger than
usual" The wife obeyed. When the
husband had eaten eleven, with the ex-
ception of half a one, his son lad of
some six summers, came to him and
said: Daddy, give me little piece"
go away, sonny" replied the father,
"yOur poor dads sick.'

How A WATER PIPE MAYBEGLE.SE

HOW W ATER-P PIPE MAY BE CLEANED.
"A correspondent of Forest and Stream
tells of a novel method employed to
cleanse two inch water-pipe which
had become choked up with mud. A
string was passed through hole
punched in the tail of small eel which
was straight way put into the pipe. An
occasional jerk reminded the eel that it
was Incumbent on him to advance,
which he did, arriving at the lower end
of the pipe with the string. A bunch
of rags was tied to the string, and thus
the pipe was cleansed.

Pressure Of the air.-Prof. Schreiber
has communicated to the Scientific
society of Chemnitz his investigations
of the differences between the pressure
of the air in buildings and i'm the open
air, as brought about through the
suction or pressure produced by the
wind blowing into or past open win
dows. His observations, which were
made i'm three places at the same alti-
tude, two within houses and the third
in the open air, showed that, in calm
weather, the pressure in all three places
was the same. AS soon, however as the
wind blew even with moderate force,
the pressure within the house was al
ways lower than it was found to be in
the open air.
Another point noticed by Prof.
Schreiber WAS, that, in the house, the
pressure oscilliated with the strength of
the wind, and every gust of wind was
accompanied with a corresponding fall
in the barometer, while in the open air
the barometer remained quiet. This
barometric pressure, observed within
the house, was also by no means incon-
siderable-amounting, IN fact, to one
quarter of millimeter for velocity of
six meters per second, and l5 milli-
meters for a velocity OF eighteen meters
per second.

"BoYs," SAID a south side school
teacher, knowledge never comes with
out seeking. Stick pin there" And
as he shot up fIom his seat like jack
in the box, he offered a reward of five
dollars for the boy who had stuck a pin
there, and one of the boys held up his
hand and said the teacher was wrong.
He had no knowledge of that pin in his
chair, had not sought it, and yet it
came.

A NEAT story came out in a recent
conversation OF well-known member
of the Hampden county bar at Westfield,
Mass. In his youthful days he was
very expert at kicking foot ball, and
one night he dreamed he was again in
the fresh vigor of youth engaged in his
favOrite sport. Suddenly waking from
the dream, he found the bedclothes in
the middle of the floor and his wife
upon them, weeping as if her heart
would break, and crying, "Oh, that l
should come to this! oh, how could
you! how could your 1t gradually
dawned upon the eminent legal gentle
man that he had unconsciously used his
wife for foot ball, but it required
some of his most powerful pleading to
win his case, and obtain a verdict OF ac-
quittal from her.

SCIENTIFIC.

An Edinburgh chemist has found-as
the result of experiments undertaken by
him to ascertain the relation between
the apparent brightness Of light and
the time during which ir acts on the
eye-that when the eye receives, from
a light of common intensity, success
sion of flashes of equal duration, which
succeed each other so rapidly as to pro-
duce Uniform impression, this impress
sion Will also have a constant intensity,
provided the number of flashes i'm given
time varies inversely with the duration
of each fiash-the brightness of the I'M
preston produced by flashes of light of
a given intensity, thus succeeding each
other, being also proportional to the
number of flashes in given time.
Again, when light of given intensity
acts on the eye for short space of time
the brightness of the luminous impress
sion on the retina is found to be exactly
proportional to the time during which
the light continues to act-this law
being proved to be true for impressions
lasting from 1-lS432 to LA of second.
The Intensity, too, of the impression
produced by light which acts on the eye
for OIL of a second, is almost exactly
one-tenth of the brightness of the light
when seen by uninterrupted vision; and
it also appears that light requires about
the tenth part of second to produce its
full effect on the eye.

A WISCONSIN JoKER.-Bill Sanders,

BLACK HILLS MAIL SERVICE.
peadwood Times, l4th

A seven days week mail service has
been ordered on the Bismarck route to, take
effect on the 18th inst. The same has been
ordered on the Cheyenne route and tri-
weekly on the Fort Pierre line. Noservice
of any kind has yet been ordered on the
Sidney route, At least no notification Of such
service has been received at the post office
in thi. city up to the time Of going to press.
This fact would seem to confirm the report
which has been current in Dead. God for
some time Of the intention Of the govern.
ment to abandon the mail service Of this
route. The eastern and northern mails II
probably be carried by the Bismarck and
Fort Pierre coaches and the southern and
western bv the Chevenpe.

A CHANGE OF HEART.

The Carson Tribune has experienced
q change of heart politically and turned
over new leaf. 1t repents its mis-
deeds in the past and cautions voters
throughout the State, but particularly
the workingmen of Storey county. to
shake off the chains that have so long
bound them. aud prove to the world
that they are citizens in fact as well as
in name. by refusing to do the bidding
of political sharps. 1t also commends
the Democracy for calling attention
10 the political corruption which per-
vaded the Government and legislative
bodies, and predicts that greater
emancipation than that OF the slaves of
the South will occur. 1t is pleasing to
note this change in iournal,. which a
few years ago advocated the election
and attempted to justify the acts OF
men, who. by a lavish expenditure Of
gold notes, forged the chains. which it
now desires to see broken, and pros
tituted the right of suffrage by openly
offering price for votes on election
day.
