Travelled Hands

In the course of our lives, says the
statistician, although we write many
letters, we have nc. the remotest idea
OF the distance our hands cover while
travelling over the paper
According to him, the average man
or woman writes about 80 words a
minute, which, with the up and down
stroke and curves represent some
thing like five yards, or 800 yards an
hour. A person therefore using his
pen for say two hours a day can
boast that his right hand has jour
neyed distance of 1870 miles.
And this, it should be remembered,
refers only to those who write, com
paratively speaking. little. When we
come to the professional element, jour
Dalists. clerks, etc, who work six,
seven hours day, the figures become
startling.

are dug out Of the Irish boes, and
specimens of IL may be seen in various
museums, A chemical examination
has recently been made Of a sample
of such butter. which was found four
feet below the surface of a bog at
Maghery, County Tyrone, The original
lump. which weighed about 20 pounds,
is probably some centuries old. and II
is suggested that II had been put into
peat water to preserve II or to give
II a flavor and had been forgotten. Yet
so efectually had the fat been pre-
served by The peat water that It still
retained many of the chemical. char.
acterisitcs Of butter fat. though its
appearance had greatly changed. The
exterior was white and granular and
the whole mass had been converted
during the passage of years into a
waXlike material.
