In one of the turnkey's rooms in the new gaol is to be seen an article of harness, which at first creates surprise to the mind of the beholder, who considers what animal of the brute creation exists of so diminutive a size as to admit of its use. On inquiry, it will be found to be a bridle, perfect in head-band, throat-lash, etc., for a human being.
The long-gathering twilight deepened as the scows floated northward. Vermilion's face lost its scowl, and he smoked in silence a sinister figure, thought the girl, as he crouched in the bow, his dark features set off to advantage by his flaming head-band. Into the stillness crept a sound the far-off roar of a rapid.
The skull, as a whole, in the case of those who have worn the head-band is a little more elongated than it is in the case of those few who have not; the elongation being upwards and slightly backwards. Natural abnormalities are more frequent. I have seen numerous cases of goitre, and very often the so-called hare-lip.
They shook their heads. "English highwaymen, blundered in here by chance," said he. Tearing off the Indian head-band of disguise, he demanded in mighty peremptory tones who they were. "English," they called back doubtfully. "What have you come for?" insisted Radisson, with a great swelling of his chest. "The beaver trade," came a faint voice. Where had I heard it before?
The Coreans Their faces and heads Bachelors Married men Head-band Hats Hat-umbrellas Clothes Spectacles. Being now settled for the time being in Seoul, I must introduce you to the Corean, not as a nation, you must understand, but as an individual.
Besides, the better class of people are not content with the process of beautifying themselves which I have just described, but surround the forehead, temples and back of the head with a head-band, a curious arrangement made of woven black horse-hair, which keeps the real hair tight under it, and not only prevents it from being blown about, but forms a more solid basis for the wonderful hats they wear.
The whole, a magnificent medley of cream and gold and azure, and deep impenetrable shadows trenchant as a thunder cloud upon an horizon of gold, and the moving crowd below, ivory and bronze and black, with here and there the brilliant note of a snow-white robe or of crimson head-band gleaming through dark locks.
This shape of hat is never worn without the head-band. The hat just described is that most commonly worn in the Land of the Morning Calm, and that which one sees on the generality of people. But there! look at that man passing along leading a bull he has a hat large enough to protect a whole family.
Bickerton; "only a dram of Hollands to thyself, man, an thou wilt speak." "Why, then," said Dick, giving the head-band of his breeches a knowing hoist with one hand, and kicking out one foot behind him to accommodate the adjustment of that important habiliment, "I dares to say the pass will be kend weel eneugh on the road, an that be all." "But what sort of a lad was he?" said Mrs.
I understood well enough that we had been defeated, but as I personally had overcome, before Montenotte, an officer of Burco's Hussars, and takingaking the plume from his shako, had fastened it proudly to the head-band of my bridle, it seemed to me that I was like a knight of the middle-ages returning laden with the spoils of the infidel. My childish vanity was soon crushed by a dreadful event.
