"I have a maid, Alice, and she brushes a whole hour every morning and a whole hour every evening." "Don't you get very tired?" asked Jeremy. "I know I should." "Mother says if you have such beautiful hair you must take trouble with it," Charlotte gravely replied.

The slips at opposite ends of a diameter are connected together twice during each revolution of the plates by wire brushes S, and collecting combs TT serve to charge the positive and negative conductors CC, which yield very powerful sparks at the knobs K above. The given theory of this machine may be open to question, but there can be no doubt of its wonderful performance.

But at last he gives a sigh, and brushes the sawdust off his knees and goes to the table in the ring, where there was a man keeping score, and heaps and heaps of blue and gold and red and yellow ribbons.
