HUSBANDS, PLEASE NOTE When you arrive home from a hard day in the office or the workshop, remember that your wife has probably worked harder and suffered greater monotony. Latest statistics prove that while doing her week’s washing the average woman lifts about 6,4651 b. In ironing, her arm travels 6ft miles over shirts, collars, sheets, etc., and the ironing of only seven shirts involves the lifting of a 311 b iron no fewer than 140 times. In ironing forty handkerchiefs, about 560 fdot-lb of energy are expended. On shopping days the average woman walks about 8£ miles, approximately the same distance covered by most golfers when going, round eightee nholes, and in the course of a year she walks 3,000 miles, or the distance 'from -England to the United States! —‘Tit-Bits.’ London.
