She looks perfectly odd when going to bed; a good deal seemed to have come off; she is as thin as a lath; and on the dressing table was such a sweet lace nightcap, with lovely baby curls sewed to its edge, and when she put that on she did look sweet.
A cheap and nasty paper covers the wall, excepting where pieces have been torn away, and the broken walls are made of lath and plaster, to provide splendid cover for innumerable insects which remain in undisputed possession. One floor much resembles another, but the basement and the top storey rooms are the worst of all.
All things unto their centre tend What had beginning must have end! "No disappointment can befall Us, having Him who's all in all! What can of pleasure him prevent Who lath the Fountain of Content?" In the year 1663 a severe law was enacted against the "sect called Quakers," prohibiting their meetings, with the penalty of banishment for the third offence!
Why, in full daylight you almost had to look twice to see him and then you'd be guessin' whether it was a lath that had sprouted whiskers, or whiskers that was tryin' to bud a man! Them and the thick, gold-rimmed glasses sure did give him a comic, top-heavy look.
The coal-trade of Cleveland, in 1858, was 129,000 tons. A large amount was also shipped from Erie. In 1858, the salt-trade of the Lakes amounted to more than six hundred thousand barrels, most of which was shipped from the port of Oswego on Lake Ontario. The lumber received at Chicago in 1858 amounted to: Boards, 273,000,000 feet; shingles, 254,000,000; lath, 45,000,000: worth $2,442,500.
Then, in a sudden access of rage, he shook her to and fro, her slight form being as a lath in his hands. "You tell me so?" he said. "You attempt to disobey me?" He let go of her, and she sank to the ground. "I'd kill you if I didn't hate you too much," he went on. "Get up and go back to the house. When I am ready, I shall come again; and when I come, I take him with me."
Wood or metal lath or any one of the various plaster boards can be used as foundation. Now comes a fine point. Present-day plasterers produce a much finer finish than was the rule a century ago, but if they understand the effect desired they will restrain themselves and possibly omit the final skim coat. The next details are the window sash, interior trim, and the final exterior siding.
"Your uncle!" cried Hirnio, "son to one of the two greatest retired gladiators in Italy, nephew to the other! Living in the same town with them! Did either of them ever teach you anything of sword play?" "Both of them," said Murmex, "taught me everything they knew of sword play, from the day I could hold a toy lath sword." "Hercules!" I cried, "and what did they say of your proficiency?"
"Maddox is in it now; but we'll turn him out. You don't know Maddox?" She shuddered, and he drew the rug in closer about her. "It's such a tiny house, Lucy; it would all go into this room." "This room," said Lucy, "is much too large." "There's only room for you and me in it." "All the better, so long as there's room for me." "And the walls are all lath and plaster.
These nests may be built by using twelve-inch boards set on edge, so as to form a series of small runways about one by six feet. In one end are built the nests, which are covered by a broad board, while the remainder of the arrangement is covered with lath or netting. The food, grit and water should be placed at the opposite end of the runway.
