Planks, laid loosely upon the cross-ties of the rafters, formed the up-stairs of the building: up-ladder would be a term more in accordance with facts; for it was by an appliance of that kind that the younger and more active of the sixteen members composing the old voyageur's family removed themselves from view when they retired for the night.
In the life of nations the same thing repeats itself war to-day is nothing but an appliance of science, and the richest countries have acquired the greatest improvements in the art of extermination. They have crowds of recruits, thousands of enormous cannon, they can keep millions of men under arms, with every sort of modern improvement, without becoming bankrupt.
What, therefore, must be the infinity of the treasure in them all! There is material enough in a single flower for the ornament of a score of cathedrals, but suppose we were satisfied with less exhaustive appliance, and built a score of cathedrals, each to illustrate a single flower? that would be better than trying to invent new styles, I think.

Let the appliance itself impress them with the strength of the materials used, the cleanness of its design and the perfection of work performed, and the sale is made. The question of cost considered only from the woman's standpoint of expenditure is more difficult to discuss.
I'll see to that it can't do much harm. The morphia will keep down the pain and the poor lad will die happy. And then there was much talk of plaster bandages, and some new mechanical appliance to prevent jolting of the surgeon going home on leave who would take charge of the journey of the nurses to be sent and other matters of which he only retained a blurred remembrance.
