The “average man” is for the most part an extraordinary person, whom no one has ever seen. He is like the average weather, which is mathematically computed, or aimed at, at the end of a month, and which is not like any actual w-eather that prevailed at any time during the month. The average man, it should be noted, is lazier than one would suppose. A statistician has reckoned his labors and finds that at 50 years of age he has toiled 6,500 days of 24 hours each. During the same time he has slept 6,000 days of 24 hours each. He has played 4,000 days and been ill 300. He has traveled 12,000 mlies, eaten 36,000 meals, eaten 15,000 pounds of meat and 4,000 pounds of fish, eggs and vegetables, and drank 11.000 gallons of liquids. Under this account the average man appears to be a greedy person and yet there have undoubtedly been occasions when he has gone hungry. —Ex.
