"I hope you won't tell me the news as fast as that," said Brownie Beaver, "for if you did I should never be able to remember one-half of it." But Mr. Crow promised that he would talk very slowly. "You'll be perfectly satisfied," he told Brownie. "And now I must go home at once, to begin gathering news." After Mr.

Have ready a pot of boiling water, salted, drop in the potatoes and keep them at a quick boil until tender. Serve with a batter made by beating to a cream two tablespoons of butter, one-half tablespoon of lemon juice and one tablespoon of finely minced parsley; add salt and a dash of cayenne pepper; spread over the hot potatoes, and it will melt into a delicious dressing.

The President answered this objection in a private letter to a Senator, proving that less than one-half day's cost of war would pay for all the slaves in Delaware at four hundred dollars each, and less than eighty-seven days' cost of war would pay for all in Delaware, Maryland, the District of Columbia, Kentucky and Missouri.

It was the first time he had seen it since he set out on May 4, 1775, to attend the Continental Congress at Philadelphia, little dreaming then of himself as chief leader in a long war. Now he pressed on to join La Fayette. By the end of the month an army of sixteen thousand men, of whom about one-half were French, was besieging Cornwallis with seven thousand men in Yorktown.

On the following morning the massacre was completed by the butchery and torture of wounded remnants of these brave Union defenders some being buried alive, and others nailed to boards, and burned to death. And all this murderous malignity, for what? Simply, and only, because one-half of the Patriot victims had Black skins, while the other half had dared to fight by the side of the Blacks!

One-half New York is moving into smaller houses, the other half into larger. The past year's success or failure decides which way the horses of the furniture-wagon shall turn their heads. Days before, the work of packing commenced. It is astonishing how many boxes and barrels are required to contain all your wares.

Galton formulated a general law of inheritance which declared that an individual receives one-half of his inheritance from his two parents, one-fourth from his four grandparents, one-eighth from his great-grandparents, one-sixteenth from his great-great grandparents, and so on by diminishing fractions to his primordial ancestors, the sum of all these fractions added together contributing to the whole of the inherited make-up.

Soon after our arrival the skipper got out for our edification two shotguns one single, and the other double-barrelled each of which was fully six feet long from butt to muzzle and had a bore of one and one-half inches. Dear eyes! if th' Boers ha' come handy t' us, I thinks I could ha' kept un off, sir. I knows I could wi' them guns.

Experience teaches us that both are present, and in nearly equal numbers; one-half of the grains remaining smooth, and the other half becoming wrinkled. The corresponding experiment could be made with plants of a pure sugar-race by pollination with hybrid pollen.
