'You take the jam just as it is, and put it between two layers of dough, and then bake it. The coffee was very like black writing-ink, and, having been made for a long time, was barely tepid. "Strange as it may appear, however, I ate a hearty dinner. I was very hungry.

"Would you then shut the books and exchange places with this thing that is only an appetite and a desire, a marionette of the belly and the loins?" "To be stupid is to be happy," I contend. "Then your ideal of happiness is a jelly-like organism floating in a tideless, tepid twilight sea, eh?" Oh, the victim cannot combat John Barleycorn!

It took some time for the first discoveries to leak out, and to be believed after they had gained currency. Even in California itself interest was rather tepid at first. Gold had been found in small quantities many years before, and only the actual sight of the metal in considerable weight could rouse men's imaginations to the blazing point.

DROPSY. Gentle exercise and rubbing the parts affected, are highly proper in this complaint, and the tepid bath has often procured considerable relief. The patient ought to live in a warm dry place, not expose himself to cold or damp air, and wear flannel next the skin.

This bath may be taken from time to time, as may be deemed necessary. While remaining in the hot-air bath the patient may drink freely of cold or tepid water. As soon as the bath is over the patient should be washed with hot water and soap. The hot-air bath is excellent for colds, skin diseases, and the gout. Have a large basin of water of the temperature of 85 or 95 degrees.

In such an attitude the tempting little witch might have made the tepid blood of an ascetic boil. Two or three hours thus flew swiftly by while I listened to her lively prattle, which, like the lark's singing, had scarcely a pause in it, her attempt at being still and moonlight having ended in a perfect fiasco.

In fashionable life, flippancy, tepid amours, weak infidelism, small aims, or no aims at all, only to kill time. The magician's serpent in the fable ate up all the other serpents; and money-making is our magician's serpent, remaining today sole master of the field. The best class we show, is but a mob of fashionably dress'd speculators and vulgarians.

A flower-gathering race, for instance, the object of which was to see how many varieties of wild flowers each competitor could gather in a given time, and a Roman water-carrier event, which consisted in balancing the hot-water jug on one's head and seeing how far one could walk without spilling its tepid contents over neck and shoulders.

But a romance, the only romance she had ever had in her life, to end through the tepid medium of the post the letter dropped in through the black and gaping slit just the one moment's thrill that now he must get it! Then, nothing; then, emptiness and the end. She wanted more than that. She would cry, perhaps, break down when she saw him put it aside where she could never touch it again.

Men, bent, sometimes crawling, with stretchers on their shoulders, glide through the maimed and shrieking fragments of bodies, picking out here and there those seeming capable of carriage. Other men, prone on their faces, hold canteens of tepid, muddy water but ah! a draught to the feverish lips which seems godlike nectar.
