THE WORDS A MAN UTTERS.
The Average Per Day Is About Two
Newspaper Columns,

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
81 have been trying to figure out how
many words the average man utters
i'm every twenty-four hours" said n
gentleman yesterday, who has IA pen-
chant for peculiar things, but / have
been unable to reach any satisfactory
conclusion on account of the different
rates of speed at which different per-
sons talk OF course, | have no refer
cnCc to the different kinds of words
which may he found in the daily
vocabulary of the average man, but
am talking about the total number of
words uttered counting repetitions and
all, during every twenty-four hours.
There is the quiet, melancholy gentlc-
man who will not speak on an average
five hundred words "A day, and there
are many who for one reason and an
other would not utter anything like
this number. ON the other hand, there
is the conversational Calling gun, not
always a woman either, who will roll
off words at a fearful rate of speed.
and whose aggregate for one day would
run up to dizzy heights. Then there is
the normal talker, who will strike a,
good decent average the man who Will
neither bore you with his Indifferent
silence nor tire you with his meaning
less Verbosity. But suppose we figure
that the average person will utter an
average of sixty words every minute.
This would amount to 2,400 words every
hour, or about $500 words for twenty
-four hours. OF course, no person Will
talk this much, as the vindeSt of men
and women would probably break down
before they had talked as much as
fifty-scVen columns in the average
daily newspaper. The only question is
as to how much time each person puts
i'm talking during each day. Some men
and women are situated so that they
cannot talk during the day except at
meal time on account of the character
of work they have 70 do. There ara
others, such as travelling men, for in
stance who depend upon talking for
their living. | have figured that tho
| high man, probably the travelling man,
will talk five hours out of every twenty
| four. which would give him a total Of
| twelve thousand words every day. T
| have figured that most any sort Of a
man will talk as much as ten minutes
out of every twenty-four hours, and
this would give him total of six hun-
dred words for the day. These are two
extremes. | am satisfied that the nor
NAL man, the man who strikes decent
| average between Indifferent silence and
disgusting Ncrbosity, viii talk prob
ably one hour, all told, each day, which
would allow him twonty-four hundred
words. And this, by the way, is con-
siderable talk, for II vii! I'LL two Col-
umns i'm newspaper, and a whole lot
of wisdom can he crowded into two
