I wish to speak to you on very particular business." "Shiss; you will, dhin, wanst more?" asked the other, significantly. "I think so." "Shiss ay vary good. Fwen will she come?" "About eleven or twelve; so don't be from about the place anywhere." "Shiss -dhin vary good. Is dhat all?" "That's all now. Are your turf dry or wet* to-day?"
We might vary and extend our experiments on Light indefinitely, and they certainly would prove us to possess a wonderful mastery over the phenomena. But the vesture of the agent only would thus be revealed, not the agent itself. The human mind, however, is so constituted that it can never rest satisfied with this outward view of natural things.
Be it said, to begin with, that I am just back from Canton, the most populous city in China and supposedly one of the half dozen most populous in the whole world. As no census has ever been taken, it is impossible to say how many people it really does contain. The estimates vary all the way from a million and a half to three millions. Half a million people, it is said, live on boats in the river.
From the mouth of the Ohio to that of the Minnesota River, at Fort Snelling, the characteristics of the Mississippi Valley differ entirely from those of the lower sections. It generally varies from two to ten miles in width, and is bounded almost everywhere by bluffs, which vary in height from 150 to 500 feet, cut through by the entrances of occasional tributaries.
The children are thus helped to realise that other countries exist where the people were far ahead of those in this country, and they can begin to understand how social conditions vary, and how nations act upon each other. The work varies considerably from year to year, according to how it takes hold upon the children's interest.
In order to keep up in a furnace a constant temperature, we must vary the supply of fuel according to the external temperature that is, according to the supply of oxygen. "In the animal body the food is the fuel; with a proper supply of oxygen we obtain the heat given out during its oxidation or combustion."
And here the warp and woof vary in shade and pattern. Many a man, with the help of circumstances, may pick his way clear through life, never having violated one prohibitive commandment, and yet at last be fit only for the place of the unprofitable servant he may not have committed either sin or crime, yet never have felt the pulsation of a single unselfish emotion.
The mystic who sees more than he can explain is universally regarded as an unsafe and unreliable person. The people who consult him go away and do as they please, and faith in his prophecies weaken as his opinions and hopes vary from theirs. We stand by the clairvoyant just as long as he gives us palatable things, and no longer, and nobody knows this better than your genus clairvoyant.
Good Montagner and Grumello can be had perhaps for four francs; and Inferno of a special quality for six francs. Thus the average price of old Valtelline wine may be taken as five francs a bottle. These, I should observe, are hotel prices. Valtelline wines bought in the wood vary, of course, according to their age and year of vintage.
As characters vary among human beings, and some persons when intoxicated become suddenly brutal, although when sober they have been mild in reputation, so also we find conflicting natures among elephants, and the insane excitement of the "must" period varies in intensity in different animals.
