The headers penetrated farther into the crude mass within than the stretchers, and gave to the junction of the two surfaces a solidity similar to that derived by a wall from its through stones or perpenders. In describing this wall, M. Place also calls attention to the care with which the angles are built.
Inspiration suggested to me that Mr. Baker was the acting coroner of that neighbourhood. 'A common place for suicide, said I, looking down at the locks. 'Sue? returned the ghost, with a stare. 'Yes! And Poll. Likewise Emily. And Nancy. And Jane; he sucked the iron between each name; 'and all the bileing. Ketches off their bonnets or shorls, takes a run, and headers down here, they doos.
Climbing the steep and rugged rocks that form the opposite bank, they take headers and footers and siders from any elevation under five-and-twenty feet, diving and swimming in every imaginable attitude, and with a kind of easy and spontaneous grace that commands admiration.
It dashed at one, got slightly singed, and forgetting all about that turned its attention to the second, and the third, taking headers into each in turn, without deciding which, on the whole, was the most enchanting of those luminaries. So, in order to curb the exuberance of these frenzied excursions she got a half sheet of paper, and noted down the alternatives that she must choose from.
The house is of the long colonial type, consisting of a square central building, two large flanking wings, and two connecting corridors. It is built of brick laid in Flemish bond, showing a broken pattern of glazed headers. Each front has its wide central porch and double-door entranceway. The emblem of hospitality that tops the central roof is truly characteristic of the spirit within.
Uncle Loveday cleared his throat and looked at me again with professional pride in his diagnosis. There was a pause, broken only by Mrs. Busvargus splashing in the back kitchen. "Good heavens!" said my uncle, "is that woman taking headers? Come, Jasper, what do you think?" "I think," I replied, "we had better look at the tin box." "Bless my soul! There's something in the boy, after all.
It does not always do so, because, as I myself saw, it is often badly and irregularly burned over, and probably otherwise mismanaged. The crop is taken off with headers, as is usual in this State. For the second year's crop the land is plowed. A two-share gang-plow is used, with a seat for the plowman.
If the house be built of stone, let the stones be large and long, and let many headers be laid through the wall: it should also be a rule, that every stone be laid on the broadest bed it has, and never set on its edge.
It is astonishing to find the Assyrians, who were very rapid builders, choosing such heavy and unmanageable materials. This arrangement is general with these retaining-walls. The average diminution is from seven to ten feet at the base, to from three to six at the top. The constructor showed no less skill in the use he made of his stretchers and headers.
No two professions should come into such intimate and cordial relations as those to which belong the healers of the body and the headers of the mind. There can be no more fatal mistake than that which brings them into hostile attitudes with reference to each other, both having in view the welfare of their fellow-creatures. But there is a territory always liable to be differed about between them.
