He had especially urged upon the authorities, at an early period of the siege, the propriety of making large purchases of corn and storing it in magazines at a time when famine-price had by no means been reached.
And I perceived I had risen in the lady's estimation. The dear little ship presented a horrid picture of confusion, and its occupants of weariness and ill-humour.

There was a waving movement of the hands by drawing inward as if gathering in spiritual good and storing it up for future need.
They make rudely-shaped oval honey-cells, varying from half an inch to an inch and a half in length, the smaller ones being the first made; later in the season the old cocoons are utilized for storing honey.
It has been thought strange that the seeds thus collected do not sprout and grow, but for this moisture would be necessary, and the ants keep their grain as free from it as possible, spreading it out in the sun to dry, and storing it in granaries, underground like the nurseries, but quite distinct from them.
