(CW. L. SHOEMAKER. The Game Fifteen. Eattor Star:—A i deal has been written on this subject, but I have never seen a general solution of the question yet,and as there are some very Interesting points connected with it, J desire to present them to your readers. Some of the same ideas may have been pre- sented by other ents in another form, but I think the solutions that have hitherto been Chae have not been stated quite definitely enough. I ro se to consider under what conditions the problem ts solvable, and how it can be done, and indeed whether it cannot be done in every case. We shail premise for the sake of perspl- cuity a few terms, and in the first case It is clearly | sera toat ira them in the original order, if they have only been misplaced by or- dinary moves in the box. We shall then take no further notice of this case; again, if one of the blocks should be taken out of its place and jumped over any number of blocks, we call that a jump; if one Diock is taken out of its place, jut in the place of another, and that one put Back in the place of the first moved, this is an intei change, any numter of moves are Lever Cons‘dered as anything, but if the blocks were arranged properiy at first, and moved anyhow and at any stage of the process, any juwnp or umber of _jrmps should be made, and the sum of the number of blocks jum) over 18 even, the probiem is always solvable in exactly the seme order as the i position, but if the Sum of the number of blocks jumped {s odd, the popes is quite different; this can be reduced the inevitable 13, 15 14, or an interchange of any two blocks. If the blocks are placed at random they can always be reduc to one of these two cases. I think altogether the easiest and most syste- matic way of doing it is, by first getting 1 in lace, then moving 2 until it comes next to tt; hen, however, these may be moved around do not separate them. It will then not be difficult to move 3 and then 4, but do not let anytning come between them unless it may be in rare cases when you can see that something will be a When the first four Dlocks are ed, agether they may be in the wrong part of the sothey must be brought up into the first horizontal row; there they must. remain until the end of the game and not be moved any more. ‘The next row can be made up tn the same way and not again be touched, but after the third row ismade up the9and10 must be brought round inthe lowest row, the 11 and 12 moved up to the left, so as to make room to move the 13, 14 and15, which must be done until the 13 comes nextto the 9, and then the third row moved in position; the last row will then al- ways be 13, 14, 15 or 13, 15,14. With a little practice this moving will be readily performed and always certain; the first case is equivalent to an even number of jumps and the second one toan odd number. The only question remains how are we to dispose of this odd case; one says that it cannot be done, which is true in one Sense of the term; buteven this question can always be resolved by turning the box one- juarter round, the only difficulty being that the will read sidewise. It can also be done by reading the first row from left to right, the Second from right to left, the third from left to ht andthe fourth trom right to left; but I Ink this isnot a solution of the question. Another solution, whichI have never heard sl ed, will, I think, fairly meet the difi- ~ Itisto aes the blocks so that the top horizontal row will read 1, 2, 3, tor 4, 1, 2, 3; the next 4, 5, 6, 11 or 8, 5, 6. 7; the’ third 8, 9, 10, 15 or 12, 9 10, 11, and It will be seen by movin; as before that the last row can be le to ret 12, 13, 14 or 13, 14, 15; If now the 7, 11 and i5 are moved down and the 1, 2, 8 moved across, or the 4, 8, 12 moved down, they will all bein proper order, right side up, and the box will not have to be turned, the cnly difference between this and the original arrangement being that the ‘space Instead of the sixteenth 1s the blank, ‘but the numbers are all consecutive. It seems to me that this solution meets this case better than any [have seen. Every problem reduces to this: there is a vacant space, and it may be either on the upper left corner or the lower right hand corner. There is one more interest- ing feature of the matter, that is: It is always Possible to tell at the starting which of the two Cases will be the solution of any proposed. prob- Jem so as to save the trouble and annoyance of — working out two ii mdent prob- Itcan easily be proved an wter- change is always equiv: it toan odd number of jumps, for if one block is to occupy another's it ts equivalent to moving the blocks up and jumping over it; but this one in moviag to the other's original place makes one less jump, fer K does not jump over ttself; we must theu interchange the block in the first space with 1, the block in the second space with 2, and so on. Itmight be rather difficult for most people to Keep track of the new positions which the blocks would occupy, but a schedule could be made o/ it on a piece of paper, and 1t_ would not be very difficult to trace iton the board. Attcra few trials the problem then now eould be stated in one of two ways, first, if the whole number or interchanges tn order to bring all the biocks In proper position is even, the vacant space 13 at ttom, if odd,the v.icant space 1s at the top; or secondly. if at any time an int. rhange brings both blocks into position, and thls happens an odd number of times, the vacant space is at the bottom, and if an even number at the top, this arises the fact that the whole number of blocks that have to be brought into position 1s an Odd number, 15. Of course it must be under- stood that if any of the blocks are originally in position there are so many less interchang:s to made, and in the second case the number of blocks originally in position must be added to those taterchanges which bring both blocks in Position. The position of the blocks will al- ‘ways be elther 1234 1 28 56TS GF 4567 9 10 11 12 S 91011 13 14 15 12 13 14 15 Ep@ak Frissy, Prof. Maths., U.S. U.S. Naval Observatory, March 19, 1830. HEALTH AND DRESS. « A Lecture on an Important Subject by a Very Eminent Physician. . {London Queen. ] Dr. B. W. Richardson delivered a lecture on Monday evening at the London Institution, Finsbury-circus, upon the subject of dress in relation to health. At the outset Dr. xichard- ‘son repudiated any intention to deprecate good fashion or good change of fashion in dress. He thought, with Mrs. Hawels, that it was the bounden duty of every womar to look as_hand- a CITY HALL REMINISOENCES. THR OLD CORPORATION—WASHINGTON IN 1820— ‘THE FIRST CIVIC PROCESSION—THE GROWTH OF THE CITY—OCONTRACT PRICES IN THE OLDER THRs. ‘The City Hall, in which a fire occurred on Sunday last, endangering valuable records and documents, was erected originally for the joint use of the courts and corporation. At that time, 1820, the city was, indeed, one “of magnificent distances,” the bulidings being Semen a ‘small numbers, located over the plan th? city, with nothing but footpaths, often through bushes, leading from one settlement to another, and it was many years after the completion of the City Hall before there were any bufidings of prominence between the building and ti Capitol. The corporation of Washington at that time, under the charter of that, year, of a mayor, i2 aldermen (3 from each ward), who were justices of the peace,) and 18 common council- men. At this perlod there were within the cor- velling houses and residenes.and ou January we 1OUSeS ANC nces,and on Jan Ist, 1822, the number was Tos brick and 1,134 ae e ms 2 eee haa and per- sonal property being $6,663,726, a reve- nue of but $32,843.63. Before this ine ane cor- lon offices had been located in rented build- g8, and the councils met in rented premises. At this time the courts of the District were held in what was afterwards known as the Old Capitol building, corner of ist and A streets, and Mr. E. J. Middleton, at pres- ent one of the clerk’s in the office of the clerk of the court, was then a clerk of the court, and for many — afterwards he wasa clerk of the counc! SOME INTERESTING FACTS. From old documents on file in the Columbia buildings the following interesting facts relating to the City Hall are obtalned:—On August 1ith 1820, Mayor Samuel N. Smallwood issued a pub- lic notice te the citizens of Washington infor.n- ing them that Tuesday, the 22d of that month, had been appointed for laying the corner-stoné of the City Hall, in which notice he stated that “it was to be the seat of legislation and of the administration of justice for the metropolis when it will have reached its destined popu- Jousness,” and it was to be constructed with a view to a durability which would extend be- yond the age of any of the then living. He therefore, on behalf of the commissioners ap- pointed to erect the hall, invited the citizens to. witness the ceremony, adding that a Masonic procession would be formed, under the direction of a committee of oT ae to move from Strother’s hotel (now Willard’s) to the butl und, and that the civic procession would + fon, ‘‘betng the first civic procession our city ever had the oppor eal, of forming.” Tuecday, the 2¢d of August, 1820, the masonic of the procession was formed at the Grand € room, corner of 12th street and Pennsyl- vi avenue, and before 10 o’clock moved to Strother’s hotel, (now Willard’s,) where it was joined by a a Se composed of almost every able-bodied man in the city and the surrounding country, all taking part in it. The masonic portion was formed as follows: Grand Marshal, two tilers with drawn swords, two stewards with rods, entered apprentices, fellow-crafts, master masons, junior and sentor deacons, secretary, treasurer, past wardens, junior and senior wardens, past masters, mas- Some as she could, and to maintain her beauty as long as possible, for nothing was more beau- Uful than beauty in oldage. Fashions, asarule, were dictated by vain and ignorant persons who Set nature at defiance, as though they were nature and shean idiot. What was wanted in the reform of dress was good fashion for both Sexes, and for every-day life some uniform cos- tume that should tend to bind more closely to- er the various classes of the commuaity. ‘ith regard to the mechanical adaptation of dress to the body, the most serious error was Ughtness by which pressure was brought to bear ‘upon any particular part, such as the neck, feet and limbs. The corset was op) to all that ‘Was healthful and all that was beautiful, keep- Ing as it did the heart and the adjoin{ag or- gans under suppression. No subjection to which women were lable could be greater than that whica they voluntarily tnilicted on themselves by wearing those articies, which Geadened their mental capability as ‘well as their vital energy. Walstbands, garters and ‘Ught shoes, or shoes with pointed toes.were also kant d prejudicial to health. Belts interfered with respiration, and, moreover, among work- ing men who wore belts it was the rule rather that the exception for hernta to supervene, while bad boots were responsible for misshapen feet among nine-tenths of the English com- munity. Women dresses should be loose and be supported from the shoulders, as was usually the case with male attire. Indeed, faulty as {t was in an artistic point of view, man’s dress had greatly improved in these latter days, and was, in relation to health, per- ee with thatof women. He == the dress of the women ought wo though of lighter terials. ex gown, ‘which should play the same part as the outer coat of a man. In regard to hats, the “gypsy” bonnet Lie Lee ouine for eae i chimney-| worn by men was and far superior to some descriptions of felt which were ina hygienic point of view bad and us to look at. ‘The best and most simple of all was the fine old Swiss cap, some- times called the jo da Vinel.

Mr. Hawley. According to arrangements all persons (ladies excepted) were excluded from the F pee who did not join in the pro- cession. e corner stone was laid in due form by the grand master, aided by the mayor and the buliding commisstoners, who deposited in its cavity the following articies: liver plate on which was inscribed a combi- natfon device, consisting of a chisel, mallet, square, compass, twenty-four inch guage, tr. square, triangle and sprig of Acacia; also following inscription: ** City Hall. is cor- ner stone of the City Hall of Washington, de- signed by George Hadfield, was laid on the 22d day of August, A.

John Law, esq,, the orator Of the day, then delivered an address. RECOLLECTIONS OF A QUARTER OF A CENTURY. in the course of his address Mr. Law gave his recollections of 25 years, in which he spoke of the time when there were scarce 500 inhabit- ants and he walked almost in solitude to school, and spoke with pride of it then containing 14,000 souls, with assessable property ex- ceeding $6,000,000 and a revenue of $40,000. The Grand Master then called Mr. Henry Smith, superintendent of the building, to the foot of the stand and presented him with the working tools, charging him to be talthful and diligent in the execution of his trust. A bountiful col- lation was then served, all present partaking, and after music by the Marine band and a national salute from the navy yard, the cere- monies concluded, the procession breaking ranks and the Grand Lodge returning to its lodge room. ERECTION OF THE CITY HALL. On the 7th of March, 1821, the commissioners appointed to superintend the erection of the City Hall reported to the board of common council and board of Aldermen as follows:—“On entering upon the duties assigned to them, the first subject which presented itself was the propriety of Sosseing the site of the City Hall trom the Judiciary Square to such other as might be selected. “After a minute and personal examination it was determined that the public reservation No. 10 was a situation more butldti which is to embellish our city ana better calculated to the commis- stoners, they made respectful application to the President of the United States askiny his per- mission to excl the Judiciary Square for ton upen the Judiciary Square of that portion ofthe City Hall by the architect, ‘assection No. 2. met by the ready tect,and is the only one which the law ited the Commissioners to make inthe orglnal ia thoonty one which they could to masweais eremenemrtese was vanced state of the season it has ed. height ‘Glow ct a more particular sate Tepore oC the archikook i i i O'Meara?” “He did, for he thought it agood joke at fifst; an’ for two or three months he paid up like aman.” “Then he quit payin’?” “ He did.” . “ An’ what then, Mrs, O'Meara?” “T sould him out.” “Sould him out!

A gentleman while attending church one eve- ning found that his feet were‘icy cold, so that he had to raise them off the floor. Calling the attention of the sexton to the fact, the latter said, with some perplexity: “Yes, we have a good many complaints of cold feet from others; but I don’t understand the reason why we can’t keep the church warm; we surely have fires enough.” ng he peney to a register in the floor behind the gentleman, in the adjoinin; pew. king around, the latter could see th: there was a hot fire in the furnace beneath, and yet no heat came up. When a handkerchief ‘was laid over the register, it scarcely stirred. ‘The visitor asked the sexton: “Have you any means of ventilation?” N . Are there no windows open?” None whatever.” “How, then, can you expect the air to come in here if {t can’t get out somewhere?” There was no response—the man was non- ner “Did you ever try to blow into a bot- er” continned the inquirer. “Do you think, if you did, that you could force any more air into a Pottle by blowing than was in it before?” He couldn’t say. Never had thought of it. “Well,” continued the gentieman, “you would soon find, if you tried, that {t was impossil and neither can you force air into this church ha if you don’t open a window or some other orifice.” “But,” the sexton demurred, “‘o) a win- dow-would let in the cold air, wouldn’t ive” = Len yuet tee tbr ee the’ respo! + -some of the windows of the leeward side of the church, and see what will happen.” It was done, and instantly the handkerchier lying on the ‘with the aud stared in adng, cures je Sexton stood Sanitary Engineer, with what wot RELIGIOUS NOTEA. —The Reformed Episcopal church, having as much as it can do to its own affairs and make both ends meet, determined for the it not to go into the foreign mission- be Umited to ten years, after which, not re- elected each bishop should return'to the ranks of the clergy.

A majority vote can change the form of worship in any church or syn: ie and the minority cannot resist or appeal. Ifina Catholic church amajority decides in favor of introduc the Protestant worship the question is settled for that community, and the minority, however large, must submit in patience.

Colds Affected by Diet. (Journal of Chemistry.] ‘There fs no question that when the system 1s in perfect condition it has a marvelous ability to withstand not only the extraordinary changes of our New Pate climate, but even these [d generally be considered gross carelessness addi I have known men who would stand in the snow with almost frozen feet and chop in the logging swamp, day after day, all winter, and when spring came join the “drive,” standing hours together, upon occa- sion, in cold river water, wet to the middle, often retaining wet garments all day, exempt from any kind of illness, until, the season over, having a period of loafing in summer; they would be subject to severe “colds” for the first time during the year, and perhaps be laid up with fever of some form. It may be said that these men had become “‘used up” by the winter and spring campaign, and that the summer sickness was the natural result. Such is not the fact. Solongasthey were working hard all day long and the cold weather , their systems could not only withstand the 1a1 amount of food swallowed, but absolutely needed it to keep up flesh, strength and animal heat. Hence, while these conditions lasted these men remained in perfect physical con- dition, equal to any amount of labor and ex- posure incident to their business, But when all these conditions were reversed, and the men ignorantly held to the same diet,—which they invariably did so lang ae appetite —dis- ease was th ible result. Often they would lose their neces in season to save them from violent ess, Dut few escaped more or less harm from eating in excess of the requirements of the system. In the army, during active service, with no surplus of “hard- tack,” colds were comparatively rare, though we marched all day in the rain and slept on the ground in wet clothes at night; but when fends who pitied us 80, the prevalence of “colds” was something fearful to contem- plate.

Fereol asserts the pecullar value of ammonical sulphate of copper in the treatment of neuralgia. He states that in cases where every other resource has failed, even the admin- istration of gelseminum and aconita, a cure or remarkable relief may be obtained to the most severe i es by means of thisdrug. Among the examples he gives of its use is one of trifa- cial neuralgia of two months’ duration, with | Bevel insomnia, wag unrelieved by the extrac- ‘ion of teeth, quinine, bromide, aconita, or tinc- ture of gelseminum, hydromeric injections of morphila or arsenic. From the first day of the administration of the sulphate of ammonia,how- ever,there was a notable remission in the symp- toms and cessation of insomnia, In anotuer severe case the dose was pushed to as many as eight grains without any other accident than nausea. CAUSES OF CRACKING OF GLUE IN FURNITURE. Frequently wood of different sorts, though of the same name, is carelessly and impel ectly nee and before veneering, the material, owever carefully worked out, is made 30 hot, especially Where several boards are to be ve- neered together, that the glue of the joints in the ground-wood is decom, and the joints eventually become apparent through the veneer- ing. The glue employed in veneering is also generally made too thin, for fear that stronger give would cool too rapidly, and lose its ad- esiveness. This thin glue is also generally laid on in large excess, and the pores of the well-dried ground absorb the moisture, and the glue may even ooze Through the veneering, ‘Which may then adhere to the veneering of the board clamped with it more firmly than to the ground; since the small amount of glue on its surface will dry more rapidly than that be- heath. Articles :veneered as above are, also frequently placed near damp walls to prevent their soles 2 with the certainty that they will draw and split when subsequently exposed tothe air and warmth. The quality of the ‘lue and the mode of its preparation and keep- Ing are also of great importance, and the prac.

A dinner should begin with soup, aad there is no more whoiesome and delicious soup, nor at the same time so easy a soup to make, as that of black bean. The large fat black bean should not be used, but 1ts more unpreteatious re- lative, the small common bean. It ij much richer and makes a tetter soup. This’soup 1s especially goed made one day in advance of using it. All soups that are made without milk are better when this rule ts followed. In bean and pea soup it is especially necessary, as they should be thoroughly cooked before straining. A quarter of a rout of salt pork should be boiled with a pint of beans. When they are boiled to a mash—water being added when necessary—they should be strained first through a colander, water being added if ne- cessary to facilitate the operation, and then essed through a wire sieve; add salt to taste, 'f must be perfectly smooth, and must about the consistency of good, rich chocolate; in color it will be a beautiful brown.

The follow- ing arrangement has proved successful with us for several years, Make a round bed of any size, and plant an inner circular row of crocus, and next outside arow of hyacinths; then a second row of a, and nextone of tulips. Continue this until the bed is filled—making every second row crocus, and alternating hya- cinthsand tulips between them. The row on the extreme edge must be crocus, and thespace inside of the first row should be filled with tu- ips and hyacinths. The effect of a bed thus Laces extremely pretty for a long timo, and thus arranged it may remain undisturbed two or three years. Snow has no sooner gone than the bed is bright with the cheery little crocus, which ap) tly covers the whole sur- face. ‘These will hardly have passed away when we have a bed of hyacinths in all their delicate, lovely tints.
