Now as these extraordinary deaths would cease, as soon as the importations ceased, a deduction of them ought to be made from his present calculation. But the number of those, who thus died in the seasoning, would make up of itself nearly the whole of that one per cent., which had been stated.

And many of these deaths could be avoided if it were not for superstition. Superstition is the Chinese Reaper. Rituals instead of medicines. Sometimes I try to talk. I might as well try to build a ladder to heaven. We must take the children of any race if we would teach knowledge. Age is set, impervious to innovations." The Chinaman paused. He saw that his words were falling upon dull ears.

"I drink to your health c'est bien le cas de le dire. I hope you will not have caught your deaths of cold," he said. "Oh, we are quite warm now," said the Duchessa. "We are snug in an ingle on Mount Ararat." "Our wetting will have done us good it will make us grow. You and I will never regret that, will we, Emilietta?" said the priest.

But it wuz strong enough to shadow the hull world with its blackness, blot out the sun and the stars, and scale the very mounts of heaven with its wild complaints and pleadin's. A strange thing love is, haint it?

Therefore I must say, O Athenians! either yield to Anytus, or do not, either dismiss me or not, since I shall not act otherwise, even though I must die many deaths.

But the baron was incorrigible; where honour was concerned he was as firm and unyielding as a Spanish hidalgo, and he would have braved a thousand deaths rather than have allowed an affront to the lady of his love to pass unpunished; he wished that the same deference and respect should be accorded to Isabelle upon the stage, as to a duchess in her drawing-room.
