The Supreme Council or Third and highest Degree of the Order in organization, was built after the pattern of the Federal government at Washington, and wielded a similar general control over the affairs of the Order, that our National government exerts over the consequences growing out of the union of the States under one central government.

Every time he stammers it makes him angry, and he pushes and strains and exerts himself with so much effort to speak, that the stammering, in consequence, increases.

While he is bound, as we say, to keep his shop, he is like the galley-slave chained down to the oar; he tugs and labours indeed, and exerts the utmost of his strength, for fear of the strapado, and because he is obliged to do it; but when he is on shore, and is out from the bank, he abhors the labour, and hates to come to it again.

Having reached the terminus of our space, we can only add that we found our estate still there and there are a few stalks of rhubarb surviving from an earlier plantation. New York is a perplexing city to loaf in. There is a prevailing bustle and skirmish that "exerts a compulsion," as President Wilson would say. The air is electric and nervous.

If the bolts are a bit too long, pack washers between nut and wood until the nut exerts proper pressure. Caution. The hole must not be large enough to allow the square part just under the head to revolve, for in such a case it would be impossible to screw up the nut.

Then the difference between the motive force which Egeria exerts, and the motive force which her rival exerts, is the difference between x + y, and x y, y being used to symbolise the aggregate motive force of the expansive tendencies of the child's inner nature. Such a difference is incalculable.

Man's the elm, and Wealth the vine, Stanch and strong the tendrils twine: Though the frail ringlets thee deceive, None from its stock that vine can reave. Fear not, then, thou child infirm, There's no god dare wrong a worm. Laurel crowns cleave to deserts And power to him who power exerts; Hast not thy share?

But it cannot be questioned that they will be so some day. Still less is any immediate employment of native Moroccan troops in Europe contemplated. Morocco possesses very good native warriors, but the Sultan exerts effective sovereignty only over a part of the territory termed "Morocco."

He had denied that there was any inherent tendency to development, affirming that we lived in a world of chance, and that power comes only to him who exerts power half truths, all of them. The Germans as a people have never been born again into the light of our higher civilization. They are morally blind and politically treacherous.
