No man that lives but loses some of his time from ill health, or at least from the incipient forms of ill health bad spirits, or indisposition to exertion. Now, taking men even as they are, statistical societies have ascertained that, from the ages of twenty to sixty-five, ill health, such as to interrupt daily labor, averages from seven days to about fourteen per annum.
"So careful of the type it seems So careless of the single life." In short, we may say that the cosmic intelligence works by a Law of Averages which allows a wide margin of accident and failure to the individual.
I asked one day of a seamstress whose own skill was unquestioned, but who, even with this in her favor, averages only three francs a day. "They do many things, madame. One who is my neighbor is now scrubber and cleaner, and is happily friends with a 'concierge, who allows her to aid him. That is a difficulty for all who would do that work.
The schoolmaster asked Tommy at the foot of the class if he did not think they would be a prosperous class. He answered, "It depends on who has the 'twenty." But, all the more, good averages imply some wonderful yields. The following are actual averages in the United States Twelfth and Thirteenth Census Report, respectively. Specialties, however, often do much better.
He didn't add "Stupid," but he looked as if that were what he was thinking. Jerry didn't care. He knew a lot of important things Carl didn't know, such as baseball averages and who were the home-run kings for the past five years. "Thanks, Carl. See you." And Jerry hurried off before Carl could ask just why he wanted to know the answer to that particular sum in subtraction.
So in the early days of electric lighting prudent steamship companies kept their oil-lamps trimmed and filled in the brackets alongside of the electric globes. Apart from the problem experienced by the average man and governments are almost always averages in adjusting his action to novel conditions, the science of steam-enginery was still very backward.
For the last two seasons he had been the star man, going in first, and heading the averages easily at the end of the season; and the three captains under whom he had played during his career as a Wrykynian, Burgess, Enderby, and Henfrey, had always been sportsmen to him. But it was not the same thing. He had meant to do such a lot for Wrykyn cricket this term.
I rule everything by the doctrine of averages so much consumed in one month, so much necessarily required in another; and I reduce everything to figures. Plumptree, my cook, when she shows me a result that I cannot understand or accept. And there are my books." Miss Granger waved her hand towards a row of most uncompromising-looking volumes of the ledger or day-book species.
The stomach is subject to greater variations in size than any other organ of the body, depending on its contents. Just after a moderate meal it averages about twelve inches in length and four in diameter, with a capacity of about four pints. The Stomach. The orifice by which the food enters is called the cardiac opening, because it is near the heart.
Also I had been at school with him, in those far-away days when we rode nine stone and dreamed of cricket averages. He was a soldier of note, who had taken part in two little wars and one big one; had himself conducted a political mission through a hard country with some success, and was habitually chosen by his superiors to keep his eyes open as a foreign attache in our neighbours' wars.
