Now Galileo and Herschel are very different boys; they are making famous progress at the manual training school. Galileo has already invented a churn of exceptional merit, and Herschel is so deft at carpentering that I have determined to let him build the observatory which I am going to have on the roof of the new house one of these days.

He took them down, as he saw her approach, and rose, with the respect in which he never failed for women, and threw his cigar away. "Mr. Maynard," she asked abruptly, "do you know where Mr. Libby is?" "No, I don't, doctor, I'm sorry to say. If I did, I would send and borrow some more cigars of him.
