Class-rooms have black desks, and bare, gray walls, more devoid of ornament than those of a mortuary chamber; this is to the end that the starved and famishing spirit of the child may "accept" the indigestible intellectual food which the teacher bestows upon it.
The subjoined jeu d'esprit with the preceding heading in magnificent capitals, well interspersed with notes of admiration, was originally published, as matter of fact, in the "New York Sun," a daily newspaper, and therein fully subserved the purpose of creating indigestible aliment for the quidnuncs during the few hours intervening between a couple of the Charleston mails.
Then she had an inspiration. Quickly unclasping the charm, she reached down to Highboy and said, "Swallow this, quick!" "Is it can ," Highboy began but could say no more, for she crammed it into his mouth. "I'm sure it's indigestible," Highboy complained, "and it wasn't sweet. I don't like it." "Hurry!"
It matters not whether they treat of middle-class life, of low, slum life, or of drawing-room life and lords and ladies; they are equally flat and dreary. Perhaps the most inane thing ever put forth in the name of literature is the so-called domestic novel, an indigestible, culinary sort of product, that might be named the doughnut of fiction.

In which state of affairs, the usual ceremonies rather droop and flag, and the splendid cake when cut by the fair hand of the bride has but an indigestible appearance. In full sight of whom, the malignant star of the Analytical has pre-ordained that pain and ridicule shall befall him.
When they are nearly done enough, thicken them with a little butter and flour. Stewed in a little water, and thickened with cream and yolk of egg, they make a nice white ragout. Truffles, mushrooms, and morels, are all of them very indigestible, and therefore not to be recommended to general use.
Lima beans and shelled peas are generally included in this list, though the young lima beans contain about 20 per cent. starch. Look at the cabbage analysis for kale and Brussels sprouts. They are much alike. Most of the vegetables contain from one-half of one per cent. to two per cent. of indigestible fibre, which is not listed above. This is but a partial list of the succulent vegetables.
"It serves me right," she said smiling into the woe-begone little faces so near to hers; "I've always heard they are the most indigestible things going now don't you eat any more, girlies, or you'll have a spasm like mine.
