38189But what, it may be asked, has this to do with the foot- rot? 38189 And what, may I ask them, is the consequence of the practice? 38189 But do we ever find them in the blood? 38189 Do we ever see them in other organs? 38189 How did it happen, that the store- master had no other resource but to persevere in an unprofitable course? 38189 Now, as the fluke is only produced within the sheep, I need only put the unanswerable questions-- How are they conveyed to the grass? 38189 These new and good species originally sprung from the wild kinds; but how many times have their seeds been sown before this happy effect was produced? 38189 Was he obliged to strive against natural obstacles, which even a short experience might have taught him were, in that manner, insurmountable? 38189 What gives rise to these tubercles? 38189 and from whence are they wafted? 38189 and, when formed, how do these apparently unirritating bodies produce effects so baneful? 38189 what are the predisposing causes which lead to their formation? 34259 *** Did you ever try using a sheep bell on a still trailer on windy, stormy nights? 34259 As your dog is a better friend to you than most people of the J. Sneakum caliber, why not treat him right? 34259 Could anything express regret and chagrin any more plainly than his doleful cry? 34259 He knows the coon went up the tree and he knows he has never come down so he reasons(?) 34259 How many ever saw a thoroughbred bloodhound? 34259 I merely worked Pont''s way and said,Has he gone that way?"
34259I said,"What is the harm of Pont''s going with me?"
34259I said,"where do you expect the dog to go?"
34259I want to ask you where is the land owner that wants''coon hunters cutting his timber down?
34259Now how many dogs like these will a party of ten or twelve men require to hunt, during ten or fifteen days in a strange country?
34259Now if he runs one into a den, what should you do?
34259Now of what use are such animals as these?
34259Now, what are the dog''s duties?
34259What direction will Mr. Coon take?
34259What dog will be first to tree?
34259What or whose hound is leading?
34259When a hound has been away three or four days, is he in condition to run the next day after his return?
34259Where are all of the''coons going to stay when you get all of the den trees cut down?
34259Will he develop himself as well as if he had been given a chance to grow some bones?
21900Have they not doubled the value of the crops, and increased the profit of farming from nothing to a hundred per cent?
21900How is this?
21900How many there are who esteem size to be of more consequence than symmetry, or adaptation to the use for which they are kept?
21900How many will hesitate or refuse to pay a dollar for the services of a good bull when some sort of a calf can be begotten for a"quarter?"
21900How much are the latter worth more than the former?
21900If the seller has need to keep one, would he not be wiser to give away the first, than to part with the second for a hundred dollars?
21900Is not the second cow, while she holds out to give it, as good as the first, and three hundred dollars at interest besides?
21900Is not the usual course of procedure among many farmers too nearly parallel to the case supposed?
21900The first question to be answered, is, what do we want?
21900The question arises, which is the better bargain?
21900These cross- bred animals are now paired amongst each other, and what is the consequence?
21900Was the higher estimate placed on the well bred animal based upon fancy or upon intrinsic value?
21900What did results show?
21900What is the comparative value of each?
21900Which now seems the wiser purchase?
21900and the next, how shall we get it?
21900and this too when one by the good male would be worth a dollar more for veal and ten or twenty dollars more when grown to a cow or an ox?
28612Could any one imagine that such nonsense could emanate from people who passed for horsemen? 28612 The sailor who rides on the ocean, Delights when the stormy winds blow: Wind and steam, what are they to horse motion?
28612And should he whip him for that?
28612Are you an admirer of scenery, an amateur or artist?
28612But of the way along the green- topped chalk cliffs, beside the far- spreading sea, or up and down the moorland hills and valleys, who can ever weary?

28612If he had the power to reason, would he not rear and pitch his rider, rather than suffer him to run him to death?
28612It is impossible not to ask, why, if the art is of any value, it has not been taught long ago?
28612Now, reader, can you, or any one else, give one single reason how scent can convey any idea to the horse''s mind of what we want him to do?

44492Inoffensive,_ which_? 44492 Pray how did you know that I am from America?"
44492Which? 44492 As Gluckmansklegge rode up, he said,Well, Col- o- nel, how you like?
44492At last he said,"Well now, Colonel, I do n''t reckon you bought that hoss to look at him on the picket- line, did ye?"
44492Can you direct me to a hotel where I can get a bite before I go on?"
44492Confound these Englishmen, thought I, where is their traditional coldness and reserve?
44492Did I remember his horse,--his"Fuchs"?
44492He had bought him in St. Louis from the quartermaster, and would I oblige him by trying him?
44492He replied,"O, who can tell?
44492I did find the Angel comfortable,( as what English inn is not?)
44492Nice pretty strong horse, what?"
44492One evening Gluckmansklegge came to my tent door:"Escoose, Col- o- nel, may I come?"
44492Who is at the head of this house?
44492Would I get him enlisted?

13254I have frequently had the question put to me in the smoker of a Pullman car,"Do not epidemic diseases make the poultry business precarious?"
13254Is it a dream?
13254Is this too big or too little?

9478Did you see that?
9478I feel strangely ill,he seems to say:"have you anything to do with it?
9478I should deem it advisable,said he,"to administer a purgative; but of what would that consist?

9478How long didst thou think that his silence was slumber?
9478How many long days and long weeks didst thou number Ere he faded before thee, the friend of thy heart?
9478If the little truant should now be missed by those having him in charge, the most natural question to ask was,"Where is Rolla?"

9478The duke, who knewe not the grayhounde, demanded of the kynge what the grayhounde wolde do?
9478The next question to determine is, upon what does this fever depend?
9478We will now suppose that a person has had the misfortune to be bitten by a rabid dog: what course is he to pursue?
9478What caustic then should be applied?
9478What is the cause of this fatal disease, that has so long occupied our attention?
9478What preventive means are to be adopted?

5710Amongst men, do we not perceive agility and strength stand forth confessed in the fabric of their bodies?
5710And how comes it to pass that Horses of a more lengthened shape, have a superiority over Horses of a shorter make, upon level and flat courses?
5710And when we consider a half- bred Horse running one mile, or more, with the same velocity as the other, and then giving it up, what shall we do?
5710Did these prevail by the superiority of their blood, or because their power and their fabric was superior to the Horses of their time?
5710Does not the observation of the jockey exactly correspond with this doctrine?
5710If we now compare the blood of Horses with that of dogs, shall not we find the case to be similar?
5710Is this effected by the difference of their mechanical powers, or is it affected by the blood?
5710Shall we confess this, or is the fault in nature?
5710Shall we now wonder that such an one, though ever so well made in other respects, can not race in spite of all his blood?
5710To what shall we impute this perfection in him?
5710What does this prove?
5710What shall we do?
5710What then?
5710Which shall we do?
5710and when that happens, will not the whole be out of tune?
5710do not even the passions and pleasures of mankind greatly depend on the organs of their bodies?
5710if to blood, from whence shall we deduce it?
5710or from what origin is it derived?
5710or if the Sire is not able to race, shall we wonder that the Son, whose shape is more perfect, should excel his Sire in all performances?
5710or shall we say this perfection of the blood is partial?
5710shall we impute this difference of goodness in the two brothers, to the difference of their mechanism?
5710shall we say the foreigner beats him by his blood, or by the force and power of his tendons?
5710will not the origin be as uncertain in Horses as in dogs?
45372''Does n''t he stop here?'' 45372 ''Where does he come from?''
45372''Where does he come from?'' 45372 ''Who and what is he?''
45372''Why, do n''t you know him? 45372 And what about Rocket?"
45372And what has become of poor Old Lal?
45372And what was the verdict?
45372Are you not afraid of being molested at night over Blackheath? 45372 Been round this way before-- y- e- s?
45372Excuse me, sir, did I not see you on the coach this morning?
45372Had he any friends or relatives?
45372How do you mean, my good woman?
45372How''s that? 45372 Was there any wound or fracture about poor Old Lal''s body which might have caused his death?"
45372Well, Jack, what are we backing?
45372What do you mean?
45372What is that hound?
45372Where did he die?
45372Where did you pass the night?
45372Whither is he gone?
45372Why not?
45372You reside in the neighbourhood of Charlton, madam?
45372[ 12]When do you propose to make the expedition?"
45372''Does it pull at you?''
45372''Well then, you double- distilled fool, ca n''t you see that your horses are like that post?
45372And, seizing a long pig- whip from the socket of the carriage, he said:"You can make ze weep, ah yes?"

45372But how is this supreme pleasure to be arrived at?

58229Again: Does not she that is a kind mother know the wants and desires of her children?
58229And is it not an unnatural operation that thus destroys many thousands of lives in embryo, over and above the"_ number unavoidably killed_"thereby?
58229And is it not comparatively the same with Bees going through boxes C. and B. up into box A.?
58229And where, I would fain know, is the humanity in increasing and obstructing the labours of these indefatigable, little insects?
58229And, comparatively speaking, is it not so with_ driven_ Bees?
58229And--- why?
58229Are we not instructed by the sacred writings to go to the Bee and to the ant, and learn wisdom?
58229But this mischief is corrected by ventilation: can then any reasonable man deny its powerful and useful effects in the management of Bees?
58229But what do we behold when a box is taken from a storied pile?--what that in the least deserves to be termed humanity?
58229But what is the consequence?
58229But, notwithstanding what has been already said, the cottager may probably ask--"how can I feed my Bees without lifting up their hive?"
58229Do not a thousand murders stare us in the face?
58229I have been asked--"Of what use is ventilation in the domicil of Bees?"
58229If practised, it will, however, soon cure itself: but is it not a strange practice for''The Voice of Humanity''to revive?
58229Is not this, then, a rational and humane practice?
58229Is there any excuse then for not knowing the Queen- Bee?
58229Now, were it not for the drones-- those large bodied Bees-- what would become of the young larvà ¦ then in existence?
58229Such inquirers might as reasonably ask what the mainspring of a watch has to do with the movements of that machine?
58229The DOCTOR( and who so likely to prescribe properly for the case as the Doctor?)
58229The question then is-- how are Bees to be managed, in order that they may be induced to rid themselves of these supernumeraries?
58229Well might the little naturalist inquire--"what is that?"
58229What then can be afterwards expected from such exhausted stocks but weakness and poverty?
58229When, however, you do find the Queen in the box you are about to take off, is it not easy to draw the tin- slide up again?
58229Why should the operator be veiled and muffled up and made sting- proof, if no conflict was expected-- if no deeds of violence were anticipated?
58229Why should we lay the axe to the root of the tree that produces such good fruit?
58229and I would ask further-- if Bees can bear this confinement with snow on the ground, why they can not bear it when there is no snow?
58229and when its liberty is restored, does not consolation quickly follow?
58229and will not the child''s screams show its affection for its fond parent?
58229but who can tell how soon the bad weather may begin?
43093And now,asked the gentleman,"what do you mean by saying if ye knew but all?"
43093Are you content?
43093Are you in earnest?
43093But if I plaze to give you nothing?
43093Can we have four horses immediately?
43093Do you pull up at the''Coach and Horses?''
43093Dost know when they''ll be here?
43093Have you room for one inside?
43093How much?
43093Valentine, what is to be done?
43093What do you mean?
43093What say you to going there?
43093What say you to riding?
43093Will I pay the pike or drive at it, plase yer honour?
43093With all my heart,replied the highwayman;"where will you have the ball?"
43093Anything for the thicket?"
43093But what did his eyes first fall upon?
43093Can Tommy Onslow do no more?
43093Do you recollect when you upset the dog- cart close to that pond?"
43093Dost know whether they bring all the children with them?"
43093Eat that, and I warrant you''ll be dry all day?"
43093Echo answers,"Where?"
43093He said,"''Your purses and watches?''
43093Some may remember, and have not those suffered from, the old slow and sure system?
43093This was always a good hard road for wheels, and rather favourable for draught; and how, then, could all these hours be accounted for?
43093To divert her fears I was going to say,''Is not that the apothecary going to the Duchess?''
43093What, therefore, must it be after a Winter?
43093Where are the well- curled wig, the silken hose, the silver- buckled shoes, the bouquet, the white gloves-- where?
43093Who does not remember, even in our days, the wretched equipages that stood on the rank?
43093Who has not had, at least once in his life, a quarrel with the drivers, often more vicious than their cattle?
43093You drink it, and ask,"What''s to pay?"
43093how are you, old fellow?
43895Oh,says I,"then this is the way you are going to be broken?
43895Wash them,says the passenger,"of course I do, do n''t you?"
43895Well, indeed,says David,"I had a rather heavy night; was you please give me some of them?"
43895What on earth did you do?
43895A boy in charge of a sow and pigs was asked by a passenger the following question:"I say, my boy, whose pigs are those?"
43895After they had gone a short distance he addressed our friend Black Will, saying,"Are you the coachman they call Black Will?"
43895At last, as he approached nearer, he said,"What do you want with me?"
43895By the bye, I wonder what John Ash would have thought of himself if he had got down from the back of the"Wonder"with a pencil behind his ear?
43895COACHMEN: WHERE DID THEY COME FROM?
43895Do you give it up?
43895From whence then was this demand supplied?
43895I can fancy I hear some votary of science exclaim with some indignation,"What is this doughty question which is to puzzle science?"
43895I fancy I hear someone say,"What on earth have the pole- chains to do with the leaders?"
43895If it was of so much benefit when the frost had hardened the road, what must it have been when the road was soft?
43895In about a quarter of an hour he returned, saying,"What do you think I was wanted for?"
43895Is it not the fault of the landlord to keep them so long?
43895Is then the practice of going without the buckle dangerous or not?
43895It may be asked, how was it possible to buy a horse fit to run a coach, or indeed do any fast work, for such a sum?
43895Now, why is this?
43895Shall they be pinned or shall they not be pinned?
43895Shall they be poached or boiled?"
43895To come to the point, then, how soon after taking to the bench professionally ought an amateur to cease to claim any indulgence in criticism?
43895Upon seeing this, David said to him,"If you please, sir, what have you got there?"
43895WHERE DID THEY ALL GO TO?
43895WHERE DID THEY ALL GO TO?
43895What good can they see in them?
43895What is the difference in power required to move a given load at ten miles an hour and at five miles an hour?
43895When we reached Caersws a passenger left us, and Jem opened the boot to take out his portmanteau; but what did he see?
43895Where is Rebecca now?
43895Where, then, did they vanish to?
43895With regard to those other parts of the harness now more or less disused, what shall be said?
43895_ Boy._"Oh, the maister of''em?
43895can these be horses that bound off with the action and gestures of leopards?
43895it is a bad job, indeed, I am afraid he will never be able to run for another race;"but, says she,"How''s the poor boy?"
32300And has done so, no one being near or touching it?
32300Again he hears the word"Toho"--again followed by another licking, accompanied perhaps by the long lecture,"Ware springing birds, will you?"
32300And whose fault will it be if you can not?
32300And why should you not?
32300But now comes the question, How do we know that rabies is a nervous disease?
32300Can there well be a more flattering epithet?
32300Do not the habits of the animal prove it to be a pampered creation?
32300Do not these traits bespeak the being formed rather by man''s malice, than created by Nature''s goodness?
32300Do you not see that instinct teaches him to do this?
32300Does it not seem as though the creature, through very pride reposing upon strength, was above forms?
32300Does it not stand to reason that the stone must have tended to give his pupil a hard mouth?
32300Does not mud cover the roadways in this country during the colder season for a far longer period than the snow?
32300Granted; but is not the temptation to bolt off in search of a dead bird still stronger?
32300He seems to say to himself,"Why can not you let me alone?
32300How can such tuition serve to enlarge a dog''s ideas?
32300How could it be, since it is doubtful whether at this period he sees at all?
32300Is it not worked in summer as well as winter?
32300Is not the cranium a malformation?
32300Is the poor dog in a cart, as seen in this country, only so employed?
32300Is the reader in any danger of mistaking it for that of a dog?
32300May it not lead me an unsuccessful dance for an hour, if I do not allow the dog to shoot ahead and seize?"
32300Of gradually drawing upon the faintest token of a scent-- only perceptible to a nose carried high in the air-- until they arrive at a confident point?
32300Of obeying the signals of the hand?
32300Of perseveringly working out the foil of a slightly- winged bird, on a hot still day, to a sure"find?"
32300On this you desist, to ask a few questions:"The dog has often called out in that manner?"
32300Otherwise, what return has he for the pains he has taken?
32300Surely this would tend more to unsteady him than the habit of lifting his dead birds as soon as found?
32300The uterus was replaced, but how was it to be retained?
32300What can the stomach have to do with the legs?
32300What can they know of judicious quartering?
32300What is this but a power of seeing visions depending on a disordered brain, or positive delirium exemplified by a dumb creature?
32300What made that noise?
32300What was this but an affectionate impulse seeking a nervous development?
32300Who could think of laughing at such gravity?
32300Who is there that has not seen the dog mistake objects during the dusk of the evening?
32300Why should not you and he go as direct to it as you can?"
32300Why should you say"Come to heel,""Ware breaking fence,""Have a care?"
32300Why, therefore, deny him in cold weather, after a hard day''s work, a place on the hearth- rug?
32300Would it not be like ridiculing nature to insult one who has such outward claims to our respect?
32300Would they not have had a much better chance of really being so, if he had given a small portion of his time each day to each?
32300You may say,"How is all this, which sounds so well in theory, to be obtained in practice without great severity?"
32300and must it not be of great service to him?
32300who can doubt it?
35521And pace?
35521Are you a hard rider?
35521Did ye draw now?
35521Does it pull at you?
35521Have we got a good deer to- day?
35521How did you get your fall?
35521Is,''The King of the Golden Mines''any use?
35521Of course you had no pace with so good a point?
35521The best part of it? 35521 Well then, you double- distilled fool, ca n''t you see that your horses are like that post?
35521What is the use?
35521What is time? 35521 _ Et tu brute!_"we exclaim--"Are_ you_ also a brute?"
35521A perfect hunter has preserved the good qualities of each without the faults, but how many perfect hunters do any of us ride in our lives?
35521All he_ does_ say is this--"I wonder when the second horses will come up?
35521And what is the result of this little display of vexation?
35521And why?
35521Are you an admirer of make- and- shape?
35521Are you fond of hounds?
35521By letting his head go, and allowing him to carry us where he will?
35521By pulling at him, then, with main strength, and trying the muscular power of our arms against that of his shoulders and neck?
35521CAN YOU FORGIVE HER?
35521Can anything be more helpless than the young horse you take out hunting the first time he finds himself in a bog?
35521Can it be that the weaker brother is jealous of his pastor''s superiority in the saddle?
35521Do you like to see them_ hunt_?
35521Do you understand kennel management and condition?
35521Does he''lep''well now?"
35521Does it pull at you now?"
35521For him and his companions, question and answer are cut short somewhat in this wise:--"Did you get away with them from the Punchbowl?"
35521Have you ever noticed the appearance of a white horse at the conclusion of some merry gallop over a strongly fenced country?
35521How is this to be effected?
35521How often in a week do you touch it with the spurs?
35521If we follow this cautious advice, who is to solve the important question,"Which way are they gone?"
35521Intellect, nerve, sympathy, confidence, skill?
35521Lastly, do you want to gallop and jump, defeat your dearest friends, and get to the end of your best horse?
35521Perhaps the Ride in Hyde Park is the place of all others where this quality is most appreciated, and, shall we add?
35521Suppose, however, the day is perfectly calm, and there seems no sufficient reason to prefer one course to the other, should we go to right or left?
35521The scarcity of weight- carriers is indisputable, but can we find them here?
35521Then, with everything in their favour, over a fair country, fairly fenced, why should they not ride on and take their pleasure?
35521What are they but the field?
35521What are we to do?
35521What is it then?
35521What is it?
35521What is life?
35521What matter?
35521What matter?
35521What said the wisest of kings concerning a fair woman without discretion?
35521What says Mr. Warburton, favoured of Diana and the Muses?
35521What would you do if you were a beaten fox, and where would you go?
35521Where is our supremacy then?
35521Where should we be but for the gates?
35521Who shall decide between such professors?
35521Who would grudge a journey across St. George''s Channel to find this desirable quality in its highest perfection at Ballinasloe or Cahirmee?
35521Why are so many brilliant horses difficult to ride?
38467Why do n''t you put it all into onions?
38467Why, have n''t I read up all the poultry journals and got the whole thing down fine?
38467***** What is Worth Crowing Over MICO- SPAR CUBICAL GRIT?
38467A gentleman, who is a large breeder, said to me the past spring:"How is it that your ducks are so much larger than mine?
38467Another question arose:"What shall I do with my cows?"
38467Another said:"They are fine birds, but I can not afford to pay two dollars for a duck; have you no cheaper birds?"
38467But the reader will say:"What has all this to do with duck- culture?"
38467Ca n''t we?
38467Can a person of ordinary intelligence run one successfully?
38467Can you diagnose the case and help me?
38467Can you let me have two more ducks at same price and as nice as these?
38467Do men denounce agriculture?
38467Do they require watching during the night?
38467Does is not?
38467How can the eggs at the extreme corners and the thin cold sides of that machine be as warm as those in the centre?
38467I am often asked by parties,"Why do so many would- be poulterers fail if it is a legitimate business and fairly profitable?"
38467I am often asked,"Why do so many fail to hatch with incubators?"
38467Is it strange that a large proportion of these men fail?
38467Is it strange that some people fail in the poultry business?
38467Is there an incubator in the market today that will hatch as well as the average hen?
38467Now, I had become somewhat proud of my farm, as what man does not who had quadrupled its increase within ten years?
38467Now, what boy of ten or twelve years had not rather chase ducks through the mud in the swamp than to wield the hoe among the weeds in the corn field?

39244And do not the methods of the School give us more capacity for enjoying our daily horseback exercise, than any amount of experience with hounds?
39244And she was well broken to harness?
39244And would it not be well to rectify it?
39244But his rider''s hands must be steady and as skilled as his own soft mouth, or how can the lesser mind comprehend?
39244But how about your own position?
39244But if we are to ape the English, why not permit on Commonwealth Avenue-- or by and by, we trust, the Park-- what is daily seen in Rotten Row?
39244But is it not true, that the former can more quickly adapt himself to the habits of hunting than the latter to those of the Haute Ecole?
39244But we naturally must seek the Continental rider in the camp, for is not the Continent itself one vast camp?
39244But what is that, Patroclus?
39244But what is that?
39244But what odds?
39244But why not?
39244Do you remember how we used to put you on your honor, though you were only a five- year- old and dearly loved to romp and play?
39244Does not every one dismount in hilly countries to ease his horse?
39244For has not the Ettrick Shepherd proven conclusively that Reynard loves the chase?
39244Good- morrow, Tom, and how are you, sleek Nelly?
39244Has not every one seen occasions when even a little training would have been a boon both to himself and his neighbors?
39244Have you never felt your hat going at the instant your horse was taking off?
39244Have you never noticed a groom riding a horse in a halter?
39244Have you never seen just the neatest place in the hedge obstructed by a single branch, which your right arm could thrust aside as you flew over?
39244Have you never, O my hunting brother, had to make an awfully sudden grab at your horse''s mane?
39244How about holding the reins in the jump?
39244How can we notice the lad, Patroclus, when the lassie looks so sweetly?
39244How is it, Patroclus, that you catch the meaning of my hands so readily?

39244Is Schooling of Value?
39244Is Soldier or Fox- Hunter the Better Rider?

39501Equesinquires"what is the average weight of ladies?"
39501Honi soit qui mal y pense?
39501How dare you, sir,cried this irascible old gentleman,"how dare you attempt to neglect your young lady in this cowardly manner?"
39501What is a gentleman? 39501 What is a gentleman?
39501What is a gentleman? 39501 What is a gentleman?
39501Which is she?
39501_ How_ could Captain Dash apologise to a man like that? 39501 ***** SIR,--Will you allow me to make one or two remarks upon a letter I read last night in your valuable paper? 39501 A loose shoe is nothing to him: it does not cause_ him_ any inconvenience, not it; then why worry himself? 39501 ANXIOUS, MARTHA, and a host of others have asked me a very familiar question,How I learned to ride?"
39501Also, up to what weight should it be?
39501And why?
39501And why?
39501But how seldom is this the case?
39501Can any of your readers inform me if this style of riding for ladies is a custom of Southern Italy as well as Mexico and the Sandwich Islands?
39501Could not the weight of side- saddles be reduced?
39501How are you ever to get into that rise and fall which you have seen with others, and so much covet?
39501How are you to accomplish it?
39501How?
39501I should certainly prefer a spur with a rowel as"Southern Cross"recommends, but would it not be apt to tear the habit?
39501I would ask one more question: Why does your correspondent so strongly object to the use of the"old- fashioned slipper"stirrup?
39501If not trespassing too much, may I say one other little word in the interest of the horses I love so well?
39501If you, or some other, would only get up a sufficient amount of courage to turn a deaf ear to the hateful and oft- recurring"What will be said?"
39501Is it a thing Decked with a scarf- pin, a chain, and a ring, Dressed in a suit of immaculate style, Sporting an eye- glass, a lisp, and a smile?
39501Is it not one Honestly eating the bread he has won, Living in uprightness, fearing his God, Leaving no stain on the path he has trod?
39501Is it not one Knowing instinctively what he should shun, Speaking no word that could injure or pain, Spreading no scandal and deep''ning no stain?
39501Is it wilful blindness or merely the desire to banish landlordism from the country which induces this senseless outcry?
39501Is there a family- tree to be had Shady enough to conceal what is bad?
39501K. C., REDCAR.--I am pleased you found my system effectual, but are you sure you did not carry it out too rigorously?
39501Moreover, if they tumble off, what matter?
39501Now, did n''t I give her the letter?"
39501Now, do you think that any of your fair correspondents could accomplish this with a light park or hunting- whip?
39501STARK.--How shall I thank you?
39501Say, is it birth Makes a man noble, or adds to his worth?
39501Say, is it one Boasting of conquests and deeds he has done, One who unblushingly glories to speak Things which should call up a flush to his cheek?
39501Some rode so well, and were so beautifully turned out, that the most hypercritical could find no fault; but of the majority-- what can I say?
39501Such may possibly have been the case, but might not the same thing occur to anyone, or at any time?
39501The blacksmith was an Irishman, and looked very shy, as Irishmen invariably do in presence of the fair sex(?)
39501The groom knew all about it, very likely, the day before, but he saw that you were not troubling yourself, and why should he?
39501The question,"Do I also advocate straight saddles for men''s use?"
39501Their position is, in my opinion, a most miserable one; yet they must derive enjoyment from it, else why do they come?
39501We may not be fortunate enough to possess horses ourselves upon which to exercise our humanity, but can we not do something-- yea, much-- for others?
39501What is the average weight of ladies, and the difference in ordinary dress to the habit?
39501What stirrup would your contributor have instead of the one with which so large a proportion of ladies ride?
39501When shall we cease to prostrate ourselves before that Juggernaut of fashion?
39501Which of these men, think you, was the gentleman?
39501Which of us does not know the pleasures of preparing for the glorious sport?
39501Why can not the stirrup be attached to a lady''s saddle in the same manner as to a gentleman''s?
39501Why not let us accept the male attire altogether?
39501Why should not ladies in this age of progression begin to ride on saddles shaped like a man''s, with the same seat a man uses?
39501Why was this?
39501Why was this?
39501Why will not men be brought to see that in abusing their horses they are compassing their own loss?
39501Why?
39501Why?
39501Would the lady have straight saddles also for men?
39501Yet why repine where so much is left?
39501You never made any inquiry about such matters, nor seemed to interest yourself in them, and why should he be troubled concerning them?
39501_ Why_ ca n''t you jog on quietly, as I do?"
39501how is such nobility requited?
39501is n''t she lovely?
39501that in taxing the powers of a beaten animal they are riding for a fall, and are consequently endangering the life which God has given them?
37329Hoo shouldna he?
37329It is a sin, pussy,you say;"why do n''t you reform?"
37329Leave the study to old maids,I think I hear some manly(?)
37329You ugly, deformed little beast,I cried,"what do you want in my lady''s room?"
37329_ What_?
37329A fellow does want to go on the tiles now and then, does n''t he?
37329Ah, Briddy, you need n''t shake the broom, what would you do without me?
37329And now the question comes to be, how are we to account for it?
37329And what do you think my mistress did?
37329And whatever shall I do, m''m?"
37329Besides, it is only gentlemen(?)
37329Besides, what do I care if it was for Master Fred''s breakfast?
37329But why to old maids?
37329Could Dumpling unlatch a door or catch a mouse?
37329Could he climb a tree and rob a sparrow''s nest?
37329Could that wild, attenuated image in the mirror be my reflection?
37329Did I ever know what it was to be hungry?
37329Do eagles, owls, the wilder hawks, alligators, or anacondas do anything else but degenerate in captivity?
37329Do n''t you think that speedy dissolution were more to be desired than such a life?
37329Does n''t pussy get a share of Alice''s porridge every morning?
37329Does she know that I am asleep, and that one in sleep is helpless as regards defence?
37329Funny, was n''t it?
37329Go back and be a house- cat?
37329How had he lived?
37329I know one gentleman(?)
37329I was chased by a dog, but being in, how could I, being only a thirsty cat, and amid such profusion, help helping myself to a drop of cream?
37329I would confess at once if it was; for what could a couple of paltry new- laid eggs add to the weight of crime I have been guilty of in my day?
37329I would steal myself if I were used like that, would n''t you, madam?
37329It is exceedingly rude, I know, to doubt a lady''s word, but_ can you believe_ what follows?
37329Not dead?
37329Piteously the little kit had mewed to her mother:"Mother, mother, come and help me?"
37329Steward, where are the oatcakes?"
37329The very reverse, indeed, and everywhere in nature we observe that God permits one animal to prey upon another; and can the Lord Himself do wrong?
37329The wonderment of this was:_ which bridge did he go over in passing through busy London_?"
37329Then a young pheasant ran round the corner and cried,"Peet, peet, have you seen my mother anywhere?"
37329There was no time to slacken speed, and to proceed was certain death to one or more of the poor children, and what do you think this noble fellow did?
37329They expect it, and need it; and, if they do not get it, what else can you expect but that your cat will become a thief?
37329We have a law to protect even our wild birds, why not one for the protection of my friend the harmless, useful cat?
37329Wha ever heard o''the like?"
37329What classification, then, are we to make of cats?
37329What had he been doing?
37329What is it, indeed, that pussy will not bear from the hands of its little child- mistress?
37329What matters it to us whether the pussy that purrs on our footstool is a polecat bred bigger, or a Polar bear bred less?
37329What prison- born elephant ever reached in height to the shoulders even, of the gigantic bulls that my poor friend, Gordon Cumming, used to slay?
37329What sort of fruit would you grow in the dark, or under deeply- coloured glass shades?
37329What was up, I wondered?
37329What were pussy''s thoughts?
37329Whatever shall they do, and what will become of the next generation of crocuses?
37329Where did that half- brick come from?
37329Where had he been?
37329Where think you, reader, do these come from?
37329Why do cats often pass other people by, and come up to me on the pavement, requesting me to ring the bell, that they may get in out of the wet?
37329With all these qualities will you tell me that she can not be improved?
37329Would I have done that?
37329Would you have your cat a good mouser?
37329` Dear Tom,''said she,`_ you_ would never touch the pretty bird?''
37329and do you think for one moment Alice would go to bed without her?
37329continued the old lady, rubbing a paw over her right ear,"why ever did I leave the land of Egypt?"
37329does n''t she sup with Alice every night?
37329mither, it kens its name?"
37329or could he find his way home over the tiles on a dark night?
37329would n''t I, though?
35450''Millions of cats,''you said; now worn''t it so?
35450And how long has she been gone?
35450But is it possible,I said,"that she has remained here ever since, and you know nothing more about her?"
35450But is it safe?
35450But will you woo this wild cat?
35450Do you know that your street- door was left open?
35450Happy109 What is it?
35450Not waiting for me, I hope?
35450Sure such cats alive were never seen?
35450Think not?
35450Well, Mrs. Honeywold,I said, with assumed cheerfulness, as she handed my coffee to me,"how long did you have to sit up?
35450What did you do?
35450What is aught, but as''tis valued?
35450Who shall ty the bell about the cat''s necke low? 35450 Why Cyprus cat?"
35450_ Q._ Why does a cat cross the road? 35450 And Gremio tells of the untamableness of the wild cat, which he deems apparently impossible: But will you woo this wild cat? 35450 And yet, if this be so, from what starting- point was the original domestic cat derived, and by what means were the rich and varied markings obtained? 35450 Another:What is a tabby?"
35450But he never came back nor a sound.--A few days after he left"to better himself,"a letter came saying, would I wish to have him back?
35450But is the wild cat?
35450But it may be argued, and I think with some degree of justice, Why was this?
35450But the story?
35450But was any one ever taken in but-- the maker?
35450Certain it is that many of the imported cats have finer and longer hair than those bred in this country; but when are the latter true bred?
35450Does any one, or will any one take pills, powders, or liquids, for promoting the colour or texture of their hair; would any one be so silly?
35450Does any one?
35450From"Demandes Joyeuses"( amusing questions), 1511:"_ Q._ What is that that never was and never will be?
35450Gone?
35450He purred, licked my hand, rubbed against the wires, put his tail up, as much as to say,"See, here is a beautiful tail; am I not a lovely cat?"
35450Honeywold?"
35450How many?
35450How would the animals comport themselves in their cages?
35450I did not think of her remaining; but she is so pretty and gentle, and innocent- looking, I could not turn her out of my house-- could I, now?
35450I know I am silly in such ways; but what could I do?"
35450If she never does return, what do you purpose to do with them?"
35450If so, where do they go?
35450If so, why?
35450If this be so, are fish necessarily a part of the food of the native wild cat?
35450In Essex folks add:_ And a cat has two Sundays._ Why?
35450In Norfolk, if one say"she,"the reply is,"Who''s''she''?
35450In our urban and suburban houses what should we do without cats?
35450Is it possible that the Manx cat originated from the Malayan?
35450Is she not with them; will she not guard, keep and defend them?
35450Is then the syllable"cat"a pun on"kit"or"kitten"( a young cat)?
35450It is often said"What''s in a name?"
35450It seems to be an early form of_ Cricket._( Query, is this the same as Cat and Trap?)
35450May not this sign be intended to mean merely what is shown,"The Cat and Kittens,"indicative of comfort and rest?
35450Nor need we rest here, for what doubt can be entertained on the subject when we point at the remarkable difference between the intestines of the two?
35450Now, what would have been said of such a coincidence had this peculiar development of Nature occurred in bygone times?
35450One asks:"What is a true tortoiseshell like?"
35450Or are they to be tied up?
35450Or does it get shorter?
35450Or may it have been"Cat and_ Chitterlings_,"in allusion to the source from which fiddlestrings were said to be derived?
35450Or rather is it a freak of nature perpetuated by selection?
35450The cat''s aunt?"
35450The line almost carries a kind of awe with it, a sort of feeling of"what next will happen?"
35450This may be so, but that I have no means of proving; yet, if so, do the Angora cats also deteriorate in the silky qualities of their fur?
35450Was it only that each cat had a separate liking?
35450Was this a"remnant"of the burning of the live cats in the"good old times?"
35450What can be more sensitively touching than the following anecdote, sent to_ The Animal World_ by C. E. N., in 1876?
35450What do they think of the cat now, these same though modern Egyptians?
35450What do you say?"
35450What has all this to do with cats?
35450What must the live cat sitting before the fire have thought-- if cats think-- when it looked up at the stolid, staring, stiff and stark new- comer?
35450What next, and-- next?
35450What time did she come in?"
35450What wouldst thou have with me?
35450When doctors disagree, who shall decide?
35450Where has she gone?"
35450Who buys such?
35450Who will court danger to benefit others?
35450Why not also birds''eggs?
35450Why should a_ black_ cat be thought so widely different from all others by the foolish, unthinking, and ignorant?
35450Why should not the cat that sits purring in front of us before the fire be an object of interest, and be selected for its colour, markings, and form?
35450Why should not three or four cats take a liking to the same individual?
35450Would there be many cats?
35450Would they sulk or cry for liberty, refuse all food?
35450Yes; what would it be like?
35450_ How can the cat help it when the maid is a fool?_ Often things lost, given, or stolen, are laid to the cat.
35450and what did you see?"
35450and yet another:"What is a blue tabby?"
35450or settle down and take the situation quietly and resignedly, or give way to terror?

38184What musician could draw melodious sounds from an instrument without having exercised his fingers in handling it? 38184 But, it is objected, since, you allow that these difficulties are caused by the formation of the horse, how is it possible to remedy them? 38184 Does not the muscular system, in reason, develop itself, physiologically speaking, in proportion to these conditions? 38184 Have they all been deceived for a hundred and fifty years? 38184 How can it be otherwise? 38184 How can the truth be made out in the midst of this conflict of such contrary principles? 38184 How is the_ rassembler_ defined in the schools of horsemanship? 38184 I ask all conscientious men: have they seen many horsemen of renown obtain similar results in so short a time? 38184 Is it not by this spurring, judiciously applied, that we bring in at will the hind legs more or less near the centre of gravity? 38184 Is this not the proper way for an author to proceed? 38184 Must we not teach the horse to respond to the spur as well as to the legs and the hand? 38184 Need I recommend discretion in your demands? 38184 Shall we then seek to attack, exercise and conquer them all at once? 38184 The efforts we make to compel him to submission, being contrary to his nature, will they not find in it an insurmountable obstacle? 38184 What contrary opinions upon the means to employ to make the horse go off with his right foot? 38184 Will it not be the source of his premature decay? 38184 Will not address and vigor be the result of these gymnastics? 38184 Would it be believed that such nonsense was uttered by people that passed for riders? 38184 You do not possibly pretend to change the structure of the animal and reform the work of nature? 38184 _ Q._ Are all riders alike suited to conquer all the difficulties and seize all the effects of touch? 38184 _ Q._ Are the defenses of the horse physical or moral? 38184 _ Q._ Are there any other inconveniences connected with the instruments of torture called severe bits? 38184 _ Q._ Are there circumstances where the_ attaque_ ought to be practised without the aid of the hand? 38184 _ Q._ At what distance ought the spur to be placed from the horse''s flanks before the_ attaque_ commences? 38184 _ Q._ At what moment ought we to commence the_ attaques_? 38184 _ Q._ At what time ought we to_ rassembler_ the horse? 38184 _ Q._ By what means can we combat the resistances? 38184 _ Q._ Can all horses have this mobility of jaw? 38184 _ Q._ Can the haunches be suppled separately? 38184 _ Q._ Can the horse execute a movement without a shifting of weight? 38184 _ Q._ Can the horse, perfectly in hand, defend himself? 38184 _ Q._ Can the naturally well- balanced horse defend himself? 38184 _ Q._ Can we_ rassembler_ the horse that does not contain himself under the_ attaques_? 38184 _ Q._ How can we judge whether an_ attaque_ is regular? 38184 _ Q._ How do we address the intelligence of the horse? 38184 _ Q._ How is it that nearly all the horsemen of renown have invented a particular kind of bit? 38184 _ Q._ How ought the hand to be supported at the moments of resistance on the part of the horse? 38184 _ Q._ How ought the_ attaques_ to be practised? 38184 _ Q._ How ought we to make use of the cavesson? 38184 _ Q._ In order to obtain the_ ramener_, should we make the legs precede the hand or the hand the legs? 38184 _ Q._ In the direct flexion of the jaw, ought we to give a tension to the curb- reins and those of the snaffle at the same time? 38184 _ Q._ In what case is the rider less intelligent than the horse? 38184 _ Q._ In what case ought we to make use of the cavesson, and what is its use? 38184 _ Q._ In what consists the difference between the_ attaques_ practised after the old principles, and those which the new method prescribed? 38184 _ Q._ In what consists the_ ramener_? 38184 _ Q._ In what does the_ piaffer_ consist? 38184 _ Q._ In what proportions ought we to use the force of the horse? 38184 _ Q._ Is it enough that the horse_ champ his bit_ for the flexion of his jaw to leave nothing more to wish for? 38184 _ Q._ Is it not to be feared that the horse may become insensible to the legs and lose all that activity necessary for accelerated movements? 38184 _ Q._ Is it the rider that determines his horse? 38184 _ Q._ Is it the_ attaques_ themselves that chastise the horse? 38184 _ Q._ Is it to the rider or to the horse that we ought to impute the fault of bad execution? 38184 _ Q._ Is there more than one kind of_ piaffer?__ A._ Two; the slow and the precipitate. 38184 _ Q._ Of what service is the_ rassembler?__ A._ To obtain without difficulty everything of a complicated nature in horsemanship. 38184 _ Q._ Ought the legs and the hands to aid one another or act separately? 38184 _ Q._ Ought these first retrograde movements of the horse to be prolonged during the first lessons? 38184 _ Q._ Ought we first to set to work to annul the forces the horse presents for resistance, before demanding any other movements of him? 38184 _ Q._ Ought we often to repeat this exercise? 38184 _ Q._ Ought we to leave the horse a long time at the same pace in order to develop his powers? 38184 _ Q._ What are the functions of the legs during the_ attaques_? 38184 _ Q._ What constitutes a true_ reculer_? 38184 _ Q._ What do you mean by_ rassembler_? 38184 _ Q._ What do you understand by position? 38184 _ Q._ What do you understand by resistances? 38184 _ Q._ What do you understand by_ instinctive_ forces? 38184 _ Q._ What do you understand by_ transmitted_ forces? 38184 _ Q._ What good will there result to the horse from this judicious employment of his forces? 38184 _ Q._ What is its useful object? 38184 _ Q._ What is the distribution of the forces and weight in the_ ramener_? 38184 _ Q._ What is the use of the flexions of the jaw? 38184 _ Q._ What is the use of the snaffle? 38184 _ Q._ What kind of bit is suitable for a horse? 38184 _ Q._ When should we first undertake to make the horse back? 38184 _ Q._ Which is to be preferred of these two? 38184 _ Q._ Why does a horse, perfectly in hand, bear the spur without becoming excited, and even without sudden movement? 38184 _ Q._ Why is an easy bit necessary for all horses, whatever may be their resistance? 38184 _ Q._ Why is it necessary that in the backward movements of the horse, the legs of the rider precede the hand? 38184 _ Q._ Why is the stiffness of the neck so powerful an obstacle to the education of the horse? 38184 _ Q._ Why should the suppling of the haunches precede that of the loins( the_ reculer_)? 38184 _ Question._ What do you understand by force? 37997 Are these then made in vain?
37997But for some better life, in what strange sort Were justice, mixed with mercy, dealt to these? 37997 But in what does this diseased condition consist?
37997But what are the opinions of our best modern breeders in regard to the practicability of producing distinct breeds by crossing? 37997 But what is the nature of this alteration?
37997Do we not here perceive, so to express ourselves, the evil enter and depart through the skin? 37997 (??) 37997 (??) 37997 A man or an animal will die of locked- jaw, caused by a splinter entering the living organism; and why? 37997 An abscess forms in the liver, or a large calculus concretes in the gall- bladder: how is the pus or the calculus to be got rid of?... 37997 And death, O, can it be annihilation? 37997 And is not this action manifested through the same channels in a state of health? 37997 And shall we not protect our animals? 37997 At what period after the animal has calved does the disease generally supervene? 37997 At what period of their life are cows the most liable to be attacked with puerperal fever? 37997 But suppose that some animals do get well after bleeding; is it thus proved that more would not get well if no blood were drawn from any? 37997 But what do they know about it? 37997 Can any man doubt its existence? 37997 Can we make a light better adapted to the wants of animate and inanimate creation than that which the sun, moon, and stars afford? 37997 Can we permit live stock to degenerate and die prematurely from a want of knowledge of the fundamental laws of their being? 37997 Can we render a good account of our stewardship? 37997 Does it alter the tendency which all poisons possess, namely, that of rapidly depriving the system of vitality? 37997 Does it throw any rational light on the treatment other than that proposed by us, of toning up the animal, and restoring the healthy secretions? 37997 Does spaying prolong the period of lactation, and increase the quantity of milk? 37997 Does the farmer wish to know how to improve the soil? 37997 Does the farmer wish to know how to prevent seeds and fruitrunning out"?
37997Does the farmer wish to know what kind of soil is necessary to nourish and mature a plant?
37997Does the reader wish to know how the_ farmers_ can accomplish this important object?
37997Does the reader wonder, then, at their morbid tastes?
37997Dr. Curtis says,"May we not give diuretics and drastic cathartics in dropsy?
37997Finally, have they found any safety- valve or outlet for the reduction of this excess other than the excrementitious vessels?
37997Has not the Almighty given us dominion over them, and placed them under our protection?
37997Has the stately oak, the elm, or the cedar degenerated?
37997Has this discovery benefited the agriculturist?
37997Have they discovered any artificial means of restoring the blood to its healthful quantity when it is deficient?
37997Have they found any means of purifying the blood, save the healthful operations of nature''s secreting and excreting laboratory?
37997Have we done our duty by them?
37997Have we not the materials, then, in this country, to educate and qualify young men to practise this important branch of science?
37997How can we prove that this is the case?
37997If obstructions exist as the cause of fever, will the mode of evacuation be different from that of health?
37997In other words, what are the results which nature designs to accomplish through the instrumentality of fever?
37997Is it not like throwing spirits on a fire to extinguish it?
37997Is its effect instantaneous?
37997Is man alone, Of all the marvels of creative love, Blest with a scintillation of His essence-- The heavenly spark of reasonable soul?
37997Is not property invested in live stock as valuable, in proportion, as that invested in real estate?
37997Is spaying attended with amelioration of the quality of the meat?
37997Is the potato, under such circumstances, a perfect germ?
37997Is the quality of the milk ameliorated by spaying?
37997Is the spaying of cows a dangerous operation?
37997Need we ask the farmer if he can, from the soil of New England, produce a St. Michael orange equal to one grown on its native soil?
37997Now, what are the indications of cure which we derive from this source?
37997Of what use is it to treat symptoms?
37997Salt, therefore, must not be neglected; but then came the question, Could they not do something more?
37997Shall the embodied deeds Of man not follow him, nor the rescued fly Bear its kind witness to the saving hand?
37997Suppose locked- jaw to have set in from irritating causes, such as bots in the stomach, worms in the intestines,& c.: would bleeding remove them?
37997Suppose locked- jaw to have supervened from an attack of acute indigestion: would it not be more rational to restore the lost function?
37997Suppose the oxygen to be in excess, what would be the result?
37997The cow may be constipated for several succeeding days, and finally refuse her food; but who suspects that the salts were the cause of it?
37997The editor of the Albany Cultivator adds,"Would it not be well for some of our farmers, who stall- feed cattle, to try this or a similar mode?
37997The farmer will probably inquire, What ought to be done in such cases?
37997Then is it not a matter of deep interest to the farmer to know how this equilibrium is restored?
37997Then the question arises, How shall we restore the original identity of this valuable article of food?
37997Then the question arises, What are the indications to be fulfilled?
37997Then the reader may ask,"Why do you recommend medicine for them?"
37997Then what sense is there in blistering, bleeding, and inserting setons in the dewlap?
37997Then why call it_ disease_?
37997They are good; but why?
37997We ask the reader to ponder on these facts, and then answer the question,"What do horse and cattle doctors know about the treatment of disease?"
37997What are the causes of this deterioration?
37997What difference does it make whether poisons are given with a scientific or an unscientific hand?
37997What does this amount to?
37997What happens in the organism after the application of such a cause?
37997What is the average rate of mortality amongst cows attacked with this disease?
37997What is the best method to pursue with cattle, in order, if possible, to prevent the disease?
37997What is the best mode of treatment to be pursued with cattle when so attacked?
37997What is the reason of this definite character?
37997What makes him worse?
37997What was to be done?
37997What will man do under the same circumstances?
37997What wonder, then, if they exhibit so many forms of disease?"
37997Whereabouts is it seated?
37997Which of our readers, at the present day, would submit to such unwarrantable barbarity?
37997Who believes that the abstraction of ninety ounces of blood cut short the life of our beloved Washington?
37997Who believes, then, that the science of medicine is based on a sure foundation?
37997Why not use the bone dust for manure?
37997Why should not that which hath been-- be forever?
37997Why should the poor dog be compelled to swallow down such powerful and destructive agents?
37997Will he not eat his fellow, and drink of his blood?
37997Will not the spaying of cows put an end to the production of the species?
37997With what propriety, then, can this provision of nature be denied, as it is by some?
37997Would it not be better for them to abolish its use altogether, as we have done, and avail themselves of the reform of the age?
37997_ Remarks on the Potato Rot._ Where are the fine, mealy, substantial"apples of the earth"gone?--and Echo answers,"Where?"
37997or if a squash will grow in the deserts of Arabia?
10539And is n''t that best?
10539Are we all right in placing the ladies on the left?
10539Careful,he added, and Esmeralda, adjusting herself studiously, asked:"Is it really easier to ride on the road than it is in the school?
10539Cross,Esmeralda?
10539Do you understand,Theodore asks,"that these horses adjust their gait to the music?"
10539Hairpins in your saddle pocket? 10539 Is he a very good rider?"
10539Is n''t it a good thing to give a horse a tidbit of some kind after a ride?
10539Is there anything which you would like to have me do?
10539No?
10539Perhaps you will learn, but will-- I-- teach-- you? 10539 Shall I tell you before hand, so that you may have time to make your horse trot, too?"
10539Shall we trot?
10539Suppose I hear something or somebody coming up behind me?
10539Then why do n''t you do it?
10539Theodore,she cried, as soon as he appeared in the evening,"did you ask the master to go with us?
10539What do I care for a pretty girl?
10539What''s the matter with him?
10539Where do you ride, sir?
10539Why did n''t you make your horse step sideways?
10539Why do n''t you dismount and give them to her?
10539Why do you make coquette of your horse?
10539Will you teach me how to ride, sir?
10539You are tired? 10539 You think so?"
10539A hopeless wreck, eh?
10539A music ride?
10539And first, what color can you have?
10539And how many of you were riding straight?"
10539And now, have you read Delsarte?
10539And these others?
10539And you are going to take one private lesson so as to learn a few little things before you display your progress before any other pupils again?
10539And you mean to take some more lessons if you find that you really need them?
10539And you really fancy, Esmeralda, that you are ready for class lessons?
10539And you want to learn how to ride, Esmeralda?
10539And you would like to know just what it will cost, and everything about it?
10539Are they not coming any more?"
10539Are we ready now?
10539Because having had seven lessons of various sorts, and two rides, you do not feel yourself to be a brilliant horsewoman?
10539Because?
10539But are you really going on the road, Monday, Miss Esmeralda?"
10539But might you not, if your habit were thin, catch cold while your horse was walking?
10539But still, you do not know what color you can wear?
10539But you have been assured, on the highest authority, that fifty lessons in class are worth a hundred private lessons?
10539But,"addressing the cavalryman, who was in advance with Versatilia,"is this procession a funeral?"
10539Can he snatch her from the saddle, after the matter of one of Joaquin Miller''s young men?
10539Can you believe your ears?
10539Delightful?
10539Did I tell you to do anything with your arms?
10539Did you ever try it?
10539Did your master advise it?
10539Do you see how much better your horse carries himself, and how much better you carry your hands, after those little exercises?
10539Do you think this horse is good?
10539Do you understand?
10539Does she not argue?"
10539Dropped your whip?"
10539Frightened?
10539Half an hour?"
10539Have you read Delsarte?"
10539He picked himself up, and returned to the mounting- stand, saying:"Will you tell me how to stay on next time?"
10539He wo n''t go?
10539How do you like it?
10539How long do they trot or canter at a time?
10539How many dancing lessons, music lessons, elocution lessons have you taken?
10539How much notice do you think your master requires to"make his horse trot"?
10539How shall you hold your reins?
10539I told you to sit to the left, the other day?
10539Into the saddle well thought, thanks to your master, but why that ghastly pause?
10539Is it not with her on foot as it is on horseback?
10539Is n''t this a pretty horse?"
10539It''s too heavy, do n''t you think?"
10539More than seventeen?
10539Must you do all those exercises?
10539No- no, but he consented to give it, when you had persuaded him that it would be best for you?
10539No> Well, why did you bring your elbows back of your waist, then?
10539No?
10539No?
10539No?
10539Now, do you remember the six things?
10539Pray, how do you know how you would feel if a saddle were to turn?
10539Regard her as a warning, Esmeralda, and keep your mind-- What is the matter with the reins?
10539SHALL YOU TAKE YOUR MOTHER, ESMERALDA?
10539Shall we start up?
10539Shall we trot again?"
10539Shall you buy trousers or tights?
10539Shall you not need pictures and diagrams to assist you?
10539The master came up, and the society young lady addressed him with,"Very silly of her to try to exhibit herself so, is n''t it?"
10539This is your obedience, is it Esmeralda?
10539Tired, Esmeralda?
10539What does that mean?
10539What is it now, Esmeralda?
10539What is that?
10539What is the trouble on the mounting- stand?
10539What is the trouble with the ladies now?"
10539What must you pay for your habit?
10539What shall it be, Esmeralda?
10539What shall you do by way of exercise before Monday?
10539What will he say when he sees the necessary brevity of your performance?
10539What''s that?
10539When you had persuaded him?
10539Where, where are your toes?
10539Who, then, shall be his substitute?
10539Why could n''t you pull up and pass out behind me?"
10539Why did George Washington and the other fathers of the republic exist, if its daughters must be in bondage to common sense and expediency?
10539Why do you want to take riding lessons?
10539Why must I go to the centre the minute that you bid me?
10539Why not practise this exercise before your first lesson?
10539Why not?
10539Why that long face, Esmeralda?
10539Why?
10539Why?
10539Why?
10539Why?
10539Wilful will to water, eh, Esmeralda?
10539Will you have him?"
10539Will you please tell me all the ways of holding the reins?"
10539You are conscious of not making a respectable curve in return, and you draw a deep breath of disgust as you say,"That was very bad, was n''t it?"
10539You are not comfortable?"
10539You are not tired?
10539You are still conscious of stiffness, Esmeralda?
10539You can ride?"
10539You do n''t care, and you feel very well, and are very glad that you went?
10539You feel as if it were?
10539You rose without trying?
10539You think that you can not begin to subject yourself to military discipline so soon?
10539Your master treated you as if you were an ignorant girl?
10539Your stirrup is too short?
10539do you say?
40872''A present, eh?'' 40872 ''Are they good layers?''
40872''Ave you?
40872''But they must eat a great deal?'' 40872 ''But when do they set?''
40872''Did you ever see the birds that lay such eggs?'' 40872 ''Domestic fowl''s egg?''
40872''Mean?'' 40872 ''O, where, tell me where,''is my bonnie friend John Moore, and mine ancient_ frère_ Morse, and my loved chum Howard, and the wily Butters?
40872''One egg? 40872 ''Tell me, doctor,''gasped Green,''what do you think of my Great Pagoda?''
40872''Want to buy an egg?'' 40872 ''Where is the monster?''
40872''_ What!_''yelled Bill, jumping wildly up from the table;''what do you say, Major?'' 40872 A thousand?"
40872All what?
40872And I''ll call it the-- the--_what_?
40872And this is the hen?
40872But you_ will_ sell them, I s''pose?
40872Ca n''t it be done in_ one_ week?
40872Can you duplicate this lot?
40872Do n''t you know?
40872Extra pains-- how?
40872FRIEND B----: What has become of all the trade? 40872 Fanny?"
40872Have you seen W----''s stock, lately? 40872 How do you like''em?"
40872How much''ll it cost?
40872How shall I do it, John?
40872How''ll that do? 40872 Is Mr. B---- at home?
40872Is n''t that music? 40872 Is this_ your_ hen, sir?"
40872Never heard of Burnham''s Cochin- Chinas?
40872No? 40872 No?
40872Seriously, friend B----, what does all this mean? 40872 So you have made several new_ breeds_ during_ one_ year''s crossing, eh?
40872Take a seat, sir?
40872The what?
40872Two thousand?
40872What breed is it?
40872What do you get for such as these?
40872What is she doing?
40872What luck, Tom?
40872What will you charge me, Mr. B----, to allow them to be sent to you?
40872What will you take for her?
40872What will you_ take_ for those two fowls?
40872What''s the price of_ b''iled eggs_, Bill?
40872What''s them?
40872What- do- I- care- for--_yoo_?
40872What_ is_ it, doctor?
40872What_ is_ that?
40872Where are the rest, John?
40872Where are the''Committee,''and the''Judges,''and the''Trustees,''and the''Managers''? 40872 Where''s Bennett?"
40872Who''s dead?
40872Why do n''t you act like a man? 40872 Will you permit me to send them to you as a present, sir?"
40872Will you sell her?
40872Will you sell him?
40872Will you take eight hundred?
40872Will you take_ four_ hundred dollars for the nine chickens, sir?
40872Will you_ name_ a price for them?
40872_ Five_ thousand?
40872_ So?_said Phineas, putting his fist gently out of sight.
40872do nt yu wish ide pade the postige on this leter? 40872 ''Why, Major, what the deuce do you mean?'' 40872 ( Perhaps they were-- who knows?) 40872 Again:_ Who_ are the gentlemen who recommend such a course? 40872 Am I dealing with a gentleman? 40872 Am I to be swindled out of my money thus? 40872 Among this well- informed(?) 40872 An''t you? 40872 And did n''t the boys run after her? 40872 And did n''t they want to buy her? 40872 And when, in the language of the enthusiastic Mr. Snooks( at the Statehouse in 1850), will that Association begin''to be forever perpetuated,''--eh? 40872 And where''s Pedder-- the immaculate Pedder? 40872 And why should n''t I have the highest price? 40872 And, finally,Fanny"hatched a brace of chickens; and_ did n''t_ she crow for and over_ them_?
40872And_ did n''t_ she continue to crow, too?
40872Are n''t they good''uns?''
40872Are they all cured?
40872Are they dead, or only''kilt''?
40872As''ow, then?"
40872But ide like yu tu tell me how Blak chickns an wite chickns an sum of em_ orl_ Cullers tu, can cum out of pure bludded Aigs, or pure bludded fouls?
40872But there was_ no_ profit whatever resulting from the undertaking,--and why?
40872Ca n''t we offer another single prescription?
40872Can we look at Mr. B----''s fowls?
40872Can we see his Cochin- Chinas?
40872Can you duplicate them?
40872Can you inform me what is good for_ lice_ on fowls?
40872Can you supply me?
40872Can you supply me?
40872Come and see my stock, B----, wo n''t you?
40872Come-- will you?
40872Could I get back two or three dollars apiece for this lot, do you think, at public sale?
40872Could n''t you take them, and get up another fresh guy on a''new importation''??
40872Could n''t you take them, and get up another fresh guy on a''new importation''??
40872Did he ever exist at all?
40872Did n''t everybody flock to see her, and to hear"Fanny"crow?
40872Did n''t everybody so declare?
40872Did n''t it?
40872Did n''t that stupid boy give you my note, when he left the chickens?''
40872Did n''t the press and the poultry- books concede this, without an exception?
40872Did n''t they bid high for her, at last?
40872Did this take him down?
40872Did you say_ all_?
40872Do n''t you feel a squirming in your conscience?
40872Do n''t you think this a pooty impersition?
40872Do n''t you wish you may get another$ 30 out of me, that way?
40872Do you think, John, that we could find something in England that would knock''em, here?"
40872Do you want them?
40872Do you want what I''ve got left?
40872Do yu spose I''ve gut money so plenty as to throw it way in this manner?
40872Has the bottom fallen out, entirely?
40872Has the fever passed by?
40872Has the_ last_ man been heard from?
40872Has there been found''a balm in Gilead''to heal the wounds of the afflicted sufferers?
40872Have all departed, and left no_ wreck_ behind?
40872Havn''t you got the pluck to own up that other people have done for you what you never had the gumption to do for yourself?
40872He should have thanked, rather than have abused me, surely,--for did n''t he thus obtain a_ variety_ of"pure"stock, from one and the same source?
40872Hear_ that_?
40872How can you sleep nights?
40872How could i tell wether their was chickns in the egs or not?
40872How have you made it?"
40872How is this?
40872How long do you suppose such infamous things as these can last?
40872How long will a few old fogies thus stultify themselves?
40872How many poultry- raisers in the United States are there who would be likely to comprehend one line of this stuff?
40872How much shall I pay you to receive them?
40872How shall I remit you?
40872How was that agreement fulfilled?
40872How_ can_ there be?
40872I re- read his sharp communication, and I found the sentence again,"Who_ are you_?
40872I told her of my fears,--and_ did n''t_ she crow?
40872I_ think_ the dance is concluded; and if it is n''t time to''blow out the lights''and shut down the gate, just let us know,--will you?
40872If so, at what price?
40872In the fall of his first year as a"practical agriculturist,"I met him casually, and I said,"A----, how does the farming succeed with you?
40872Is anybody hurt?
40872Is it possible?
40872Is n''t he a beauty, this BOTHER''EM POOTRUM?
40872Is n''t that a crow, for a hen-- eh?"
40872Is n''t that heavenly?"
40872Is n''t this_ clear_, reader?
40872Is not this the manner in which he has frequently played his card; or, in other words,''laid''em all out''?
40872Is the thing finished?
40872Is there_ no_ way that you can help me out?"
40872It seemed to say, as plainly as words could have uttered it,"Who are_ you_?
40872Jewett, and President Kimball, and know- nothing King, and the reverend Marsh, and Pendletonian Pendleton of Pendleton Hill, and their satellites?
40872Let me know about this, will you?
40872Might we take a look at the chickens?"
40872Mr. B----, will you make an offer for the remainder?
40872My friend, what will you take for your egg?''
40872Now, what the devil can_ I_ do, do you imagine, with ten cocks?
40872Or are you a mere shambles- huckster?
40872Or is it made of ingy- rubber, or gutter- perchy?
40872Or, must we have the_ pure_ bloods to sit upon them?
40872SIR: Do you call yourself a man of honor?
40872Sir, I love''em, I love''em,--an''who shall_ dar''_ To chide me for lovin''and praisin''them_''are_?
40872That''s the cock?"
40872The internal formation of a hen is scarcely believed to resemble that of a human being, surely; and why such medicinal applications, pray?
40872These gentlemen stared at the engravings, exclaimed,"_ Can_ it be?"
40872To which he replied, briefly,"Is_ that_ all?
40872Try and make up your mind to be satisfied with something else-- won''t you?
40872Upon my word, those are very fine indeed,--do you know it?"
40872Was that any business of_ mine_?
40872Was there ever such a show seen, or heard of, ladies and gentlemen, as this which you are now the witnesses of?
40872Were not my fowls the"choicest specimens"ever seen in America?
40872What am I to do with them, sir-- do yu think?
40872What are these fowls bred from?
40872What are they?"
40872What are we to do?
40872What are your strains?
40872What can I do with them?
40872What can you do for me?"
40872What did all the nonsense in the resolutions passed at the National Poultry Show in New York about the nomenclature of fowls effect?
40872What do you propose to do about this?
40872What do you think of an auction?
40872What do you think of that?
40872What does this mean?
40872What does this mean?
40872What has become of the premiums that were_ awarded_ at the last show in Boston?
40872What have you sent me?
40872What is your opinion?
40872What is your price for such a pair as that, for instance?"
40872What was five thousand dollars to me?
40872What will you take for them?"
40872What you after?
40872What''ll I do?
40872What''ll we do with them?
40872What''s the matter?''
40872What''s the_ lowest_ price you''ll name for them?"
40872When did you discover this extraordinary and singular fact, my dear sir?
40872When did you import it, and how has it been bred?
40872When will the''copy''be ready?"
40872Where are they all?
40872Where d''you get him?"
40872Where is the''Society''whose name,''like linked sweetness long drawn out,''I have n''t time to write?
40872Where is_ that_ balance in the_ Treasurer''s_ hands,''--and where is that functionary himself?
40872Where were the_ forty_ MANAGERS when the above''resolution''was passed?
40872White,_ et i d omne genus_?
40872Who ever wished to"produce any evidence"on this subject, pray?
40872Who will gainsay this position?
40872Who_ are you_?
40872Why do n''t they give their_ names_?
40872Why do n''t you act fair,--and tell where the genuine fowls can be got, and of who?
40872Why should they?
40872Why this desire to overturn_ established_ names?
40872Why, where did it come from?''
40872Will they hatch under our common hens?
40872Will you buy them--_any_how?
40872Will you buy them?
40872Will you give anything for them?"
40872Will you send me a pair of_ Cochins_, or not?
40872Will you take them?
40872Would n''t you like to cage_ me_ up--_s- a- y_?"
40872You can see it,--but you say you do n''t want to purchase any?"
40872You say you''want a pedigree,''and that you''must have it;''and you inquire who_ I_ am?
40872You''re sticking it into the people nicely,--don''t you think you are?
40872_ Carnt_ you?
