I. The five-foot bow as finished, with sections at the points shown. II. The bow "braced" or strung. III. The bow unstrung, showing the loop slipped down. IV. The loop that is used on the upper end of the bow. V. The timber hitch always used on the lower end or notch of the bow. VI. A turkey feather with split midrib, all ready to lash on.
Add more salt if necessary; cook for ten minutes and serve at once. The entire time for cooking varies from thirty to fifty minutes. The leaves are sweeter and more tender after having been touched by the frost. The same is true of Savoy cabbage. This vegetable is a variety of beet in which the leaf stalk and midrib have been developed instead of the root.
Another is grey, to match its groundwork of dead wood; another brown and slightly hairy, to coincide with the bark of the particular eucalyptus upon which it lurks. Another, and the most graceful, resembles two bright green leaves, the midrib and the nerve system being imitated perfectly. A fair specimen may be a foot and more long.
In the Balm of Gilead, the leaf is involute, rolled towards the midrib on the upper face. Other kinds of vernation are revolute, the opposite of involute, where the leaf is rolled backwards towards the midrib; circinate, rolled from the apex downwards, as we see in ferns; and corrugate, when the leaf is crumpled in the bud.
So the arrows were made, six each with nail points filed sharp and lashed with broom wire. These were called "War arrows," and six each with fire-hardened wood points for hunting arrows. "Now for the feathering," and Yan showed Sam how to split the midrib of a turkey feather and separate the vane. "Le's see, you want twice twenty-four that's forty-eight feathers."
Here is the cornel, whose lovely blooms filled the forest with butterfly beauty, it seems no longer ago than yesterday. Today I find the cornel foliage green still as to midrib and veining, but with the woof of the leaf gone such a fine apple red that it is surely good enough to eat. If color counts the deer should find rich browse in the shrubbery these days.
The trunks rose tall and strong and slender, and the fronds were branches twenty or thirty feet long, with the many long, narrow green blades starting from the midrib at right angles in pairs. Round the ponds stood stately burity palms, rising like huge columns, with great branches that looked like fans, as the long, stiff blades radiated from the end of the midrib.
Chop up a sweet Spanish pepper, add a tablespoonful to the salad. Prepare a plain dressing, pour it over the salad; just before serving, mix gently. BEET LEAVES SALAD. The seed-leaves of the beet were preferred by the Greeks to lettuce. They are served the same as lettuce. If a little old, scald them in hot water a moment. Swiss chard is the midrib of the beet leaf.
The date-palm furnishes a striking example of such a successive transformation of the simplest leaf form. A midrib is elongated through a succession of several leaves, the single fan-shaped leaf becomes torn and diverted, and a very complicated leaf is developed, which rivals a branch in form. "The transition to inflorescence takes place more or less rapidly.
The nuts are baked to make brittle their shell, and the kernels of walnut size easily extracted and pierced. Strung on the midrib of a palm-leaf, the combination makes wax and wick, and has lighted many a council and many a dance in Polynesia. The pandanus likes the coral sand, and is in appearance a tree out of a dream.
