This shaving of babies is no doubt diminishing, at any rate in the large towns. Indeed, everything in regard to the dressing of and dealing with the hair in Japan is, if I may use the term, in a state of transition. Some writers on Japan have been impressed by the fact that the Japanese appear to be more concerned about the dead than the living.
From this spot, the plains, as well as the higher land, appeared evidently to dip away to the north-east, the barren hills all diminishing in elevation, and the deep watercourses from Flinders range all crossing the plains in that direction.
These Indians, formerly a portion of the same tribe with the Indians now known as the Sacs and Foxes of the Mississippi, emigrated many years ago from Iowa, and settled near the tribe of Iowas, hereafter to be mentioned. They number at the present time but eighty-eight, having been steadily diminishing for years.
Their overexcited imagination went faster than the projectile, whose speed was evidently diminishing, though insensibly to themselves.

Not so; but it is all human rivalry, a succession of diminishing towers, steps piled one above another, where the mind every now and then may stop to breathe, and then fight its way onward again; not an Ascension, like that from Bethany; rather the toil of a very human, though very laudable ambition. Unfinished spires were in Europe very common legacies from generation to generation.
