During the railroad strike in the sum-

What We Do.

Ignorant or cultured playing on the
miners vocabulary of 200 words or ON
the university professors thesaurus OF
many thousands, it appears that we let
fall 11,S00,000 words between January
and December.
Every year we shake hands about 1,200
times, expcnding on the ceremony a force
sufficient TO raise locomotive weighing
50 tons. The raising of our eyelids is
accomplished 04,G00,OO0 times per year
and represents the consumption of en-
ergy capable of lifting n weight of 81
pounds
Turning to the division of our time, it
is found that normal man living 10
years has snrnt no less than 24 years,
8 months and II days asleep and II
years and \ months at work. His rccre-
alton has occupied exactly the same
Nngth of time as his work.
He has passed > years and 10 months
in moving about and the same space Of
time In the operation Of feeding. His
toilet has occupied 2 years and IL
months. Two years and IL months also
pass in doing nothing or in little things
that are not easily classed.
The surprise is the estimate that a
man passes exactly the same time in
thinking as in spcaking-onc year five
months and half. Which gives one a
new idea of the value that ought to be
attached to every mans utterances.-
