Life In Parts.

A man whose head is bullying with
mathematical problems has figured
out the disposition of every hour Of
the daily life of an average man, and
tells Just how many hours man of
so years has devoted to his toilet,
meals or newspaper. LET us assume"
said he, that the sleeping hours of
an average man will number eight
daily. That is one third of his time,
so in fifty years your man will have
slept all told sixteen years and eight
months. The man who is shaved
daily at fifty years probably had his
face scraped not oftener than three
times per week at twenty-five years,
while during his eighteen years RAJ
zor never touched his face. Say that
the semi-centenarian has averaged two
shaves week for fifty years, that will
give 300 scrapes in the half century.
At an average of fifteen minutes per
shave the time devoted to this one
small element of life will run up to
fifty-nine days and nine hours. If a
man should not shave in fifty years
and then attempt to make up his pro
portion all at once he would have to
shave night and lay for nearly two
months.
1.-THE average man, who is not linn
tied to twenty minutes for dressing,
breakfast and catching his train, con-
sumes about thirty minutes in getting
inside his clothing in the morning.
Half an hour per day for fifty years
would amount to one year fifteen days
and five hours, so that if man should
dress himself at the start in life for the
whole fifty years he would pass two
weeks before his first birthday ami
versary, and this means working
twenty-four hours per day. A bath
should precede dressing, however, and
twenty minutes day for that purpose
would put man in the tub for eight
months, thirteen days and eleven hours
out of the fifty years. For other de-
mands of the morning toilet allow ten
minutes per day, or four months, five
days and twenty hours in half a CEN
fury. Why, just single minute
every day spent in hunting for col
| lar button means twelve days and
| fourteen hours in the course of fifty
years.
Half an hour for breakfast, forty
| minutes for lunch and an hour for
dinner amount to FIVE months, five
days and nine years of eating in fifty
hours of life. The man who lives away
up in the Twenty-eigh ward and
spendsan hour of every day jogging tc
and from business in horse car may
not realize it, but it is nevertheless
true that In thirty years one year
three months, one day and six hours
of his time will go in that way

a FEW SUGGESTIONS.
When Talking Do Not Quote from the
Bible or from Shakespeare.

When Talking DO NOT quote from the
Bible or from Shakespeare.
One mustn't monkey with Shakespeare
OR the Bible in the natter of quota
tons. Shakespearean scholars start
up in the most unexpected places, and
the Bible concordance will enable even
the feeblest antagonist to set ones err
rors at defiance. It's bit dangerous
to profess an intimate knowledge with
Burns, when one has it not, or Thomas
Moore, for it's astonishing how many
people are familiar with these good
old bards; but Pope and Campbell are
perfectly safe subjects for converse
tional enterprise. One must be sure
not to attribute biblical quotations to
Pope or vice versa. but If one isn't sure
of either, 'tother may safely be used.
When it comes to American authors
Longfellow is the only one to be
feared. Almost any one will discover
an error if one is made in quoting
Longfellow. Whittier, too, has been
studied popularity, but Lowell, as good
as any of them, is practically unknown
outside of circles literary. 1t is odd.
but fact, nevertheless, that the de-
lightful tales of Washington Irving are
almost unread these days. One might
suppose that Jeferson's Rip Van
Wrinkle W would keep Irving's writings
alive, but it doesn't If a lady wishes
to expedite conversation let her ask
some gentleman: What is trustp"
There is probably not man alive who
can't tell her all about trusts" and if
she'll ask something like this: What
is the income of the Standard oil mag
natesp' she will be surprised at the
readiness with which the gentlemen
will talk of millions a year." and all
that millions year entail. There are
other suggestions that might be made
in this connection, but they will be
placed in the compositor's refrigera-
tor, where they will keep for awhile. -

WHALE MEAT AS DIET.

1t Is Not Only Wholesome but Also Very
Palatable.
Talk of butchers shops. A whale is a
whole meat market in itself. 1t is float

hagen fields, an entire Billingsgate.
Nobody need ever starve when whales
are in season. A few of them would
provision city for long siege. Fortu-
nately, as the world grows older, it learns
to Judge more fairly of neglected kinds
of provisions. It is pity that the true
value of whale flesh has not been dis
covered long ago. How many poor
families might have been amply fed if
only "whale extract" had come into
fashion years back. Commands should
also show their gratitude for the gift of a
fresh flavor. It must be admitted, with
regret, but without hesitation, that the
list Of ordinary articles of food is very
limited, and that beef and mutton are apt
to become monotonous. even when varied
with fish and poultry, and all the eat
able fruits of the earth as well. The
edibil:ty of the whale is, therefore, an
exciting discovery. 49, .....-.
The only drawback to the pleasant
picture which arises when the mind con-
templates $4,000 people dining off one
animal is contained in the thought that
whales, when they are proved to be val
liable for dietetsc purposes, will be hunt
ed until they become scarce and perhaps
extinct. To guard against this danger
we have no doubt that whale breeding
would come into fashion. People who
found other forms of food culture unre-
munerative might remove to countries
where the climate allowed whales to live
in comfort and establish whale farms at
the mouths Of tidal rivers. There is, in
fact, no end to the opening for enter
owing to this remarkable addition to the
domestic larder.-Medical Classics.

Tricks of Indian Jugglers.

Some Of the tricks are performed by
every iuggler you meet; others again are
Of such an astonishing nature, and Dor
der so nearly on the miraculous as to be
beyond the capacity of an ordinary per-
former. OF this character are the orange
tree trick and the burial trick. If, after
having witnessed these feats performed
in broad daylight, one is of the opinion
that 1t was an optical delusion produced
by the mesmeric power of the operator,
I can only say that the ability to obtain
an absolute mastery over every faculty
Of the observer is no less astonishing
than would be the actual performance Of
an apparently impossible feat.
The most noticeable feature in the per-
Torrance Of the Indian juggler is the
entire absence Of any kind of apparatus.
His scanty clothing affords NO opper-
tunity for concealment, and every feat
Is performed simply by manual dexterity
or Is delusion effected by mesmeric in
f1uences. The famous wizards of Europe
and America were Nothing without APP
paratus, and a great deal of the effect OF
their performances was due to their mag
nificent and costly paraphernalia. In
genious mechanisms and expert assist
ants were absolutely essential to the
success of their decisions. AS an illustra-
lion of this I may mention that Anderson
who, by the way, was the poorest
wizard I ever saw, considering his repu-
tation-made oath some thirty years ago
in an English bankruptcy court that his
apparatus, destroyed by the burning Of
Covent Garden theatre, London, was
worth over $4,000, and that the effort
to replace it was the cause OF his lnsoi-
vency. This amount, of course, included
stage properties and everything neces-
sary in his business. A 70 cent carpet
bag would hold all the appliances deemed
necessary by Hindoo juggleR. Even in
the beautiful butterfly trick he aaali-
features his paper butterflies as occasion
requires. Charles e. Roman in The Cos

Eight years ago in Portland, Me-, a
little organization was formed called the
Society for Christian Endeavor. Its aim
was to make protesting Christians be-
come active workers for good among
their fellow men, intoxicating by exam
pie as well as precept the ways of purity,
peace and good will. They depended
largely on the weekly prayer meeting to
foster the spirit of love and holy living.
The society now has half million men,
bers in different parts of the Union, and
has just held its annual convention in
Philadelphia. Members take pledge
to attend prayer meeting every week
and take some part in it, praying or
speaking. They also pledge themselves
to daily prayer, Bible reading and Chris
tian life. The movement is said to be
filling the churches with enthusiasm.
