A man with taste for figures has
been apportioning the life of man
who lives seventy wears He finds of
that time a man spends nearly twenty
five years in bed nearly twelve years
each in work and play, nearly six years
in eating and drinking, six years in
walking about, nearly three years in
dressing, one year and five months in
illness, the same in reflection, i'll Cos
sip. and an equal amount of time is
wasted.
There is about one hour day which
is wasted or given over to odds and
ends at small duties. The mere act
of putting on ones shoe is not con-
sidered worth mentioning, yet III his
lifetime Il man OF 20 spends five min
utes day, thirty hours year, or
more than twelve weeks OF a lifetime
Who would want seriously to sit down
and do nothing every minute for three
months but put on aud take off his
shoes.
Until one analyses his day he will
have no idea of the amount of time
spent in locomotion, in getting from
one place to another Two hours a
day is conservative estimate of the
time used this way. Haperson spends
but an hour each day on his toilet in
seventy years he will have devoted
three years to this duty. And as for
women, one hour is entirely too short
a time to allow them. Three is nearer

Few countries have suffered so many
changes of name as Ireland. In the
time of Ptolemy the island was known
as Scotia, Diodorus SiculuS calls the
island IRIS, or lrisi; III the De Mundo,

it is called Irenne; in the Areonautica
OF Orpheus itappears as lrinus; Strabo
calls 1t Irene; Caesar, Tacitus and
Pliny mention it as Hibernia; Mela
called ii Juverna The native names
in Celtic are lr. Fri, or Erin. Plu-
tarch mentions il under the name of
Ogygia. The name Ireland is no
doubt derived from the native Ir or
Fri, but when it came into general
use is question concerning which

THIRD CRICKET MATCH.
Between Australians and All England
 Eleven Yesterday

Eleven Yesterday.
 Leeds, England, June 29.-The third test cricket match between the visiting Australians and an all England eleven opened here to-day. The weather was bright though the wicket was soft. There were about 12,000 spectators pres ent when the Australians went to the Wickets.
 Very great interest is taken in the present match, as the public clamor has led to the exclusion of some of the old time favorites. The English eleven, however, is thoroughly representative, and includes Maclaren, Ranjitsinhji, the famous Indian cricketer; Jackson, Fry, Hayward and Hearne,
 The Australian players are those who beat the all-English eleven at Leeds by ten wickets.
 The Australians at lunch time had scored 131 runs for six wickets down.
 The Australians were all out in their first innings for 172 runs.
 At the close of play to-day all-Eng- land had scored 119 runs for four wick cts down in the first inning.
