Curiosities of Figures. From the Boston Pitot. A problem, thnt at, a glance seems enough to tempt many n school-boy to spend a portion of his vacation in an endeavor to solve it, appeared re cently in a Maine journal, and is as follows: Take the number 15. Mul tiply it by itself and you have 225. Now multiply 225 by itself, and then multiply that product by itself, and so on until fifteen products have been multiplied by themselves in turn. The question aroused considerable interest among lawyers in Portland, and their best mathematician, after struggling with the problem long enough to see how much labor was entailed in the solution, made the following discouraging report upon it: “The final product called for contains 38,539 figures, the first of which are 1,442. Allowing three figures to an inch, the answer would be over 1,070 feet long. To perform the operation would require about 500,000,000 figures. If they can be made at the rate of a minute, a person working ten hours a day for 300 days each year would be twenty eight years about it. If, in multiplying, he should make a row of ciphers, as he does in other figures, the number of figures would be more than 023,939,- 228. This would be the precise num ber of figures used if the product of the left hand figure in each multipli cand, by each figure of the multipli er was always a single figure ; but, as it is most frequently and yet not always, two figures, the method em ployed to obtain the foregoing result cannot be accurately applied. Assum ing that the cipher is used on an average once in ten times, 485,000,- 000,000 approximates the actual num ber.” Where Work is Pleasant. * Neglected Wife—“Why don’t you go to work ? ” Husband (a ne’er-do-well)—“I ain’t got no tools.” Neglected wife—“Deacon Smith oflered you five dollars to fix his fence, and you have a saw, and a plane, and a hammer and nails. What more do you wan’t ?” Husband—“The saw ain’t no good, and I ain’t got no file to sharpen it. Ole Smith can fix his fence hisself.” Same Husband (ten years later)— “Hi! Say, wife, I’ve escaped from the penitentiary. Gimme some other clothes, so I kin light out agin.” Wife—“My, my! How did you get out ?” Husband—“I dug forty feet under ground, with a two tilled fork, and then cut my way through two feet of stone wall and teu inches of boiler iron with a saw made out of a dinner plate.”—New York Weekly. a nosisn who can tai.k i F.vcrvbwly Ims lic-tvl of n"bnrw' laugh," but Wiio Ims ever soon nn equine giftert with the power of speech?

A night or two ago a Beacon street matron bad occasion to reprove her little boy—aged 04 years—for some unusually mischievous nonsense. “I am afraid,” she said, “that you will not go to heaven.” “I’m sorry,” said the small criminal, “but I've been to the circus and a party this week, don’t you know, and of course one cau’t take in everything.” For a long time this youthful thinker has been putting pennies into a savings bank for the little negro children of the G'ougro basin. And the other day his moth er caught him in the act of painting his baby sister black all over with ladies’shoe polish. He was just put ting on the final touches when the mater familias entered. Said he: “Mamma, we have given so much money to the black people that I thought we might as well keep it in the family. >So I have fixed up the kid to suit. • Put a nickel io the slot and hear it squall."—Boston Trans cript.
