The Ottomac holds this dish, which has a handle, in his right hand, while he inhales the niopo by the nose, through the forked bone of a bird, the two extremities of which are applied to the nostrils. This bone, without which the Ottomac believes that he could not take this kind of snuff, is seven inches long: it appeared to me to be the leg-bone of a large sort of plover.
The wolf did so; and Manabozho, taking the large leg-bone of the moose, first looking to see if the wolf was well covered, hit him a blow with all his might. The wolf jumped up, cried out, and fell prostrate from the effects of the blow. "Why," said he, when he came to a little and was able to sit up, "why do you strike me so?"
If it were a "bad catch" by the hind-leg, the animal would tug during the ensuing six hours till the iron teeth of the trap had stripped the leg-bone of its flesh, when, should a weak-springed instrument enable it to escape, it would die in the fields from the mortification of the limb.
As he sprang, he knew that he had no choice, though he did not love her. The fall of her mare, if his grip held, might stop the rest. He sprang; he saw only the Arab's bony head and the gold on the bridle, as both his hands grasped it. Then he saw nothing, but yet he held, and, dead, he would have held still, as the steel jaws of the hunter's trap hold upon the wolf's leg-bone.
That was Billy Dixon. "No, I'm not. Why?" panted Amos. "You aren't? Why, look at your leg!" Sure enough! One leg was shot in two at the ankle joint, and Scout Chapman had run twenty yards, with Private Smith pick-a-back dragging his loosened foot and stepping at every stride on the end of the leg-bone! "I never knew it," he said. And strange to add, from that day onward he never felt any pain.
It has been discovered that they were not altogether so absurd as they seemed; that the public mind, in its ignorance, has been unjust to them; and, in hasty repentance for that injustice, too many are ready to listen to those who will tell them that these things are not absurd at all that there is no absurdity in believing that the leg-bone of St.
They had been so often annoyed by these animals, that we have never mentioned them; but on the following morning it was found that the ox had been so seriously injured that the leg-bone was broken, and they were obliged to destroy the animal.
A spatter of moonlight fell upon them as David, crouching on his heels, gave Baree the fish, holding for a moment to the tail of it while the hungry beast seized its head between his powerful jaws with a grinding crunch. The power of those jaws sent a little shiver through the man so close to them. They were terrible and splendid. A man's leg-bone would have cracked between them like a pipe stem.
"I will not let thee enter in by me unless thou tellest my name." Deceased. "'Scale of wine' is thy name." Threshold. "I will not let thee pass over me unless thou tellest my name." Deceased. "'Ox of the god Seb' is thy name." Hasp. "I will not open unto thee unless thou tellest my name." Deceased. "'Leg-bone of his mother' is thy name." Socket-hole.
All these relics were subsequently used at the coronation of the emperors, but are now kept at Vienna, except the throne, which is still here. The church has an abundance of relics, including the skull and arm-bone of Charlemagne, though the latter has, unfortunately, turned out to be a leg-bone!
