A Close calculator makes the suhjoined an
nouncement in the Massachusetts, Railway
Times: IA man who shaves seven times
week, spending ten minutes in each hoperation
uses up 81 hours in year, and if the person
lives to the age of four-score years he will
have spent all the working hours of leap
year with a razor in his hand The number
of males in the United States is about ten
millions, each of whom must shave. on an az
erage, at least fifteen years. If they shave
every day-and no person can keep his face
free from beard, and carry out the idea of
shaving fully, unless he shaves each day
the coming generation will spend nine hun
dred and fifteen millions of days work in
shaving. equal to nine hundred and fifteen
million dollars.> Allowing each to expend
five dollars for razors, strops, brushes, and

be fifteen million dollars-making the whole
