Some singular genius has perpetrated the following calculations, which are amu- sing:

 "I have been married g years, during which time have received from the hand of my wife three cups of coffee each day, two in the morning and one at night, ma king about 35, ,O4O cups of half pint each, weighing v ,52O pounds, or nearly nine tons weight. Yet from that period, I have scarcely varied myself in weight from l6C pounds. It will, therefore, be seen, that have drunk in coffee alone 2l8tim my own weight. l am not much of meat eater yet presume have consumed about eight ounces day, which makes 5806 pounds or about ten oxen. Offlour have consumed, in the 32 years, about 50 barrels.

 For 20 years of this time, up to 1881, I have drunk two wine glasses of brandy each day, making 900 quarts. The port wine, madeira, whisky punch, &c, am not able to count, but they are not large. In cham pagne l have been extremely moderate, as find from my bills that have paid for 59 baskets in the last l3 years, which is about one bottle week, and this not all con- stunned by pe- When we take into the ac- count all the vegetaDleS in aauIaUn, sucn as potatoes, peas, asparagus, strawberries, apples, pears, peashes, raisins, sc the a. mount consumed by an individual is most enormous. Now my body has been renew ed more than four times in 32 years; and taking it for granted that the water, of which have drunk much, acts merely as a diluet, yet, all taken together, l conclude that have consumed in 32 years about the weight of HOO men of l6O pounds each.
