"There you will behold our extraordinary educational collection of Nature's mysteries, known as 'The Descent of Man, described by the nobility, the scientists, and the faculty as the most complete representation of man's descent from the apes ever presented to an intelligent audience.
"I have used my best endeavours. Yes, though I say it to his face, you will really if careful to appeal to his better instincts find him one of Nature's gentlemen." Mr. Trapp broke into a grin of relief; almost you could say that he heaved a sigh. "Oh, that's all?" said he. "Why, Lord love ye, ma'am, I've been called that myself before now!" So to Mr.
But this much we can say: Though God created us a savage, fortunately man is civilizing Nature's brute and is making him a Man. Disease is one of Nature's cardinal forces.

"Well, it's a day for Ireland," he added, in response to a gravely playful remark of Sir Almeric Foyle. "Ireland never was so sweet. Nature's provoking us!" "Yes, it's a pity," said Sir Almeric. "But I'm not thinking of bad luck for you, Calhoun."
It has been well said that the chief difference between the parks of Japan and the parks of Europe is that, whereas the latter are planned solely with reference to a geometrical scale of comeliness or in pure and faithful obedience to nature's indications, the former are intended to appeal to some particular mood or to evoke special emotion, while, at the same time, preserving a likeness to the landscapes and water-scapes of the world about us.
