These were gifts indigenous to herself, either through the temperament of her people, or through the original endowments of her soil. But her condition of moral sentiment, her high-toned civic elevation, her atmosphere of political feeling and popular boldness; much of these she could and did transmit, by the radiation of the press, to the very extremities of the German empire.

But this thought was like a shadow cast by her husband's mind on hers, and was ousted by the more indigenous: "But after all who can blame him, poor old fellow, for wanting to take life easy if he has the chance." She even added: "He might have gone off, as most of them do, without a word."

These were men in whom the genius of the North in its happiest union of developments, under its choicest and most favourable conditions of culture, in its yet fresh, untamed, unbroken, northern vigour, was at last subjected to the stimulus and provocation which the ancient learning brings with it to the northern mind to the now unimaginable stimulus which, the revival of the ancient art and learning brought with it to the mind of Europe in that age, already secure, in its own indigenous development, already advancing to its own great maturity under the scholastic culture the meagre Scholastic, and the rich Romantic culture of the Mediaeval Era.

The other bush produces a species of bulb of oblong form, bearing the indigenous name of "yamph," and if it possesses less nutritive principles than the camas, it is much the better for one thing, it can be eaten raw.

The pulsations of life in the two places resemble each other no more than the beating of Dexter's heart on the home-stretch is like the rising and falling of an oozy tide in a marshy inlet. There is nothing indigenous in Madrid. There is no marked local color.

The principal citizens, in the large rooms of whose houses these entertainments were given, seemed quite to enjoy them; great preparations were made at each place; and, after the dance, guests and masqueraders were regaled with pale ale and sweetmeats. Once a year the Indians, with whom masked dances and acting are indigenous, had their turn, and on one occasion they gave us a great treat.

It is hardly necessary to say that this is a very useless proceeding since the peccaries are neither more nor less than true wild hogs, the indigenous representatives of the suidae, on the American continent.

Argal, the Aryan race used these two words before their separation; and if the two words, the two plants also. You follow the reasoning?
