Abram Pantin. Toomey was brooding as usual, when footsteps were heard on the wooden sidewalk and a sharp rap followed. Mrs. Toomey was kneading bread on the kitchen table. Toomey had sold a pair of silver sugar tongs to a cowpuncher who opined that they were the very thing he had been looking for with which to eat oysters.
"To be browbeaten by a slip of a wench a fine gentleman's baggage with the airs and vapours of a lady of quality. Am I not a fool to have endured it?" "Certainly you are a fool," his wife agreed, kneading diligently, "whatever you may have endured. What now?" His fat face was puckered into a thousand wrinkles. His little eyes gazed at her with long-suffering malice.
Pike came to see him one day, his arms full of a bundle, which turned out to be an accordion for Sophy. "Christmas, you know," he said, taking off the brown paper, while he was cursing the Cotton States the hardest, and gravely kneading at the keys, and stretching it until he made as much discord as five Congressmen. "I think Sophy will like that," he said, tying it up carefully.
Brick buildings quite as pretentious as the town were springing up where a year before there were unsightly frame boxes; the roads where hogs had wallowed in mire not wholly of their own kneading were becoming well-paved streets. Out on the heights, where had been a forest, were sprinkled sightly dwellings in pretty yards.

"It looks all right," remarked Frank, as he picked up some of the substance on the kneading board and let it dribble through his fingers, "but as Tony says, it's like so much sand." "And it tastes queer," said Billy, putting a bit of it on his tongue. "Looks as though some of the food profiteers were trying to put something over on us," observed Tom.
They can stir the soup while it is boiling; they can aid in kneading the dough for bread; they can wash the “Koonti” root, and even pound it; they can watch and replenish the fire; they contribute in this and many other small ways to the necessary work of the home. I am not to be understood, of course, as saying that the little Seminole’s life is one of severe labor.

From the previous discussion of activity, we know that the child is bringing about far-reaching results, all unconscious to himself, through this never ceasing restlessness of every waking moment. He is growing, through the kneading process of constant movement; he is developing freer use of his muscles; he is building new experiences into character, and he is forming habits of life.
The perspiration is attained in the various hot rooms the Tepidarium, Calidarium, and Laconicum. The nature of these apartments which I shall hereinafter consider in detail must be determined by the pretensions of the establishment. Perspiration having been induced, the bather submits to the kneading of the muscles of the trunk and limbs by the shampooer.
