Pare them very thin till the white appears; and as you do them, throw them into spring or pump water in which some salt has been dissolved. Let them stand in that water six hours, with a thin board upon them to keep them down under the water. Fill a porcelain kettle with fresh spring water, and set it over a clear fire, or on a charcoal furnace.

A legal enactment providing for the sale of your wife, when you have done with her, or of your husband; when you "really can't put up with him any longer," appears to be all that is wanting to render this North British estimate of the "Estate of Matrimony" practically complete.

Urban received him most kindly; read, with tears in his eyes, the epistle from the Patriarch Simeon, and listened to the eloquent story of the Hermit with an attention which showed how deeply he sympathised with the woes of the Christian church. Enthusiasm is contagious, and the Pope appears to have caught it instantly from one whose zeal was so unbounded.

"A dead man!" he exclaimed, and added: "At least he appears to be dead. He has a bullet hole in the back of his head." "What!" demanded the officer, and hurried to the side of the car. He drew his sword and waved it at his men. "Guard them closely!" he exclaimed, indicating his four prisoners. "Pretty ticklish situation," whispered Hal to Chester, who stood beside him.

They appear to have been made upon the wheel, and are in general unornamented. From representations upon the cylinders, it appears that the shapes were often elegant.

Thin jugs were also in use, with slight elegant handles.

The framers of the Constitution clearly intended that such a power should be exercised by the Supreme Court. Moreover, a somewhat similar power appears to have been exercised long before in England, though it gave place later to the present doctrine of the legal omnipotence of Parliament.

But, as I said to this artist, who, by the way, seems to be a most civil fellow, and is a regular virtuoso, it appears, with his brush; what on earth, I said to him, do you find so extraordinary in this window, which is, if anything, a little dingier than the rest?"

Rochester before I knew Madame Frederic, and he was always kind to me and gave me pretty dresses and toys: but you see he has not kept his word, for he has brought me to England, and now he is gone back again himself, and I never see him." After breakfast, Adele and I withdrew to the library, which room, it appears, Mr. Rochester had directed should be used as the schoolroom.
