Don't Lose q Minute.

Keep busy. The man who has moth
ing to do is the most miserable of be-
ings. If you have no regular work, do
chores as farmers do when it rains too
hard to work in the field. In occupa-
tion we forget our troubles, and get a
respite from sorrow. The man whose
mind and hands are busy finds no time
to weep and wall. If work is slack,
spend the time in reading. No man
ever knew too much. The hardest stud
ents in the world are the old men who
know the most. If you lack books,
there are free or very cheap libraries, at
least in cities, at your command. The
man who does not acquire some item of
useful information between day-break
and bed time must mournfully say with
the Roman Emperor, 81 have lost a
day,''

A Curious Calculation.

A rapid penman can write thirty
words in a minute. To do this he must
draw his quill through the space of a
rod-sixteen feet and half. In forty
minutes his pen travels furlong, and
in five hours and a third, mile. We
make on an average sixteen curves or
turns of the pen in writing each word.
Writing thirty words minute, we must
make four hundred and eighty-eight to
each second; in an hour twenty-eight
thousand eight hundred; in day of only
five hours, one hundred and forty-four
thousand; and in year of three hun
dred days, forty-three million two hum
dred thousand. The man who made a
million strokes with pen in a month
was not at all remarkable. Many men,
newspaper men, for instance, make four
millions. Here we have, in the aggre-
gate, mark three hundred miles long,
to be traced on paper by each writer in
a year. In making each letter of the
ordinary alphabet, we must make from
three to seven strokes of the pen-on an
average, three and half to four. How
much better, therefore, would it be to
dispense with the present unweildly
and tedious form of writing, and adopt
the Photographic system, in which
lines and curves represent consonants
and dots vowels; and by which skilled
writer can write as hiph aS two hun-
dred words minute.
