They nave just purchased another pieoe of land, adjoining that which they here­ tofore owned, and convenient to their Yards, which shews, on a thorough rest, to contain sixteen feet of solid Blue Clay over the entire pieoe. This. w<th the large amount they, had before, ensures them an abundance of material, and on this last purchase the clay being of a superior Quality ena bles them, avwe said before, to make finer Brick than ever before, and this is saying a good deal, as the McHenrj Brick no»j have the reputation among oo a tractors and builders of being the best Brick on the market. They have ah© added new macliioery and put the Yard tn shape to do the largest amount of work and In the best manner, as the large contracts for Brick already made this season, and the orders dally coming in make It imperative that every available hour be used to meet the demand. The great advantage tills firm has It the fact that the junior member, and Superintendent, Mr. Isaac Wentworth. hat had an experience of many years In Uie business and has no superior a* t llrlck maker in the West. He knows )ost what to do, when to do and how everything in this line and the * nvtltequfDce It be never makes a poor trick.

WB believe in the man or woman who bas "enemies." Milk-and-water people content themselves with sim­ ply doing no harm, at the same time doing no good. They are negatives. Your man of force, who does not wait for the stone to get out of the way, but maufuliy rolls It over, may unin­ tentionally hurt somebody's teet in the act, but thousands who have to go that way will thank him for clear­ ing it. The man who has no enemies Is generally a sickly. cowardly, creep­ ing creature, caring for nothing but hiinself, smirking and creeping bis unchallenged way to the obscurity he merits. He ad 1s notbiog to the common stock, does no good tn the weild, and Is lowered into tlx feet of earth without a sincere regret from anybody. He has no enemies, but bas ho a friend? A place is vacant, but not in any warm, grateful heart. g. Go to Mra. E. W.

The bouse wat crowded from pit to dome, and to judge from tho Immense advance sale* It see me probable that orchestra pit will have to be given up to spectators.

Here Is the problem:--"If a hen and a half lays an egg and a half tn a day and a half, how many egg will six bens lay In seven days?" The PL.AINDDEAI.ER had not been In tbe Post Office an'honr before we be- g«n to reoelve answers, We received answers, besides those from this connty, from Osborne, Ktn., Fairfield Neb,, Nelson, Neb., Des Moines. Iowa] Dubuque, Iowa, Stillwater, Minnesota,' St. Paul, Minnesota, Chicago, Illinois, Bay City, Mlcblgin, Waukegan, Illi­ nois, Michigau City, IndUna and other places. We cannot publish all as it would take too much space, but give the difiercat numbers figured out: Fourteen got the answer as 28. Eleven as 43. There was but oue correct an­ swer received, which we give In full as follows: One hen will do f as much in the same length of time, as 1J hens will do; therefore, one hen will lay in 1} dayc } of 1} eggs which is oue egg. N<>w It is very plain that 1 hen lays 1 egg la 1J days; and at the end of 7 days she will have laid as many eggs as Ij is contained times in 7. which is 4#; or in other words, she wiil have laid 4 eggs and another one $ laid. There are six hens workiag on these egg6 during tbe 7 days, so of course ther# will be 6 times as many eggs laid, making 24 eggs complete, and each of 6 others only £ laid: and, as I stated above, the question is hew many eggs will the hens produce in tbe time given, and it Is impossible to take § of each of 6 eggs laid by 6 different hens, and make 4 whole eggs, even if each of the bens eould be pursuaded to lay § of an egg. Therefore my answer is 24 eggs. Respectfully, JOHN J. LUMM, Michigan City, Indiana', Tbo above is the correct solution and Mr. Lumm wins the prize. Stylish Millinery. MRS. E. W.
