Página 511 - Give fools their gold, and knaves their power ; Let fortune's bubbles rise and fall ; Who sows a field, or trains a flower, Or plants a tree, is more than all. For he who blesses most is blest ; And God and man shall own his worth Who toils to leave as his bequest An added beauty to the earth.
Página 511 - Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time ; " Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate ; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labour and to wait.
Página 181 - Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation ? The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.

Teeth are always intimately related to the food and habits of the animal, and are therefore highly interesting to the physiologist : they form for the same reason important guides to the naturalist in the classification of...
Página 555 - ... or four-wing flies. Another class of flies, with only two wings, and for that reason known as dipterous insects, contribute largely to the ranks of insect parasites. But even these parasites are frequently subject to the attack of still smaller parasites, which prove as fatal to them as they did to their insect hosts. The first of these parasites are, for that reason, known as primary parasites, to differentiate them from the second, called secondary parasites. When introducing parasites into...
Página 257 - Put new milk, with a little flour and nutmeg, into a saucepan with the boiled celery, serve it warm with pieces of toast, eat it with potatoes, and the painful ailment will soon yield. Such is the declaration of a physician who has again and again tried the experiment and with uniform success. He adds that cold or damp never produces, but simply develops, the disease, of which acid blood is the primarv and sustaining cause, and that while the blood is alkaline there can be neither rheumatism nor...
Página 90 - Cuvier makes the strong assertion, that the dog "is the most complete, the most singular, and the most useful conquest ever made by man." The dog, far more than any other animal, becomes a humble friend and companion of man, often seeming actually to know and...
Página 6 - ... seed, and I have always found that while individual plants may differ from each other in respect to the transmission of characters, yet from the same plant there was great uniformity of results obtained. The larger seeds produce slightly more vigorous plants in the earlier periods of growth, but do not give any guarantee of ability to transmit superior qualities. When a plant is known to be thoroughbred, and its ability to transmit its own characters has been established, I should always prefer...
Página 90 - ... teeth simply tear and cut the food, no grinding motion is required, and the jaw is capable only of a simple hinge-motion in the vertical plane ; while in herbivorous animals, the joint is so constructed as to allow of extensive sliding and lateral motion of the lower molar teeth upon the upper. In man, both the form of this articulation and the general character of the teeth, point to an intermediate position in relation to food, and form a...
Página 347 - It is estimated that of the world's population of 1,500,000,000, about 500,000,000 regularly wear clothes, about 750,000,000, are partially clothed, and 250,000,000 habitually go almost naked, and that to clothe the entire population of the world would require 42,000,000 bales of 500 pounds each. It therefore seems more than likely that the cotton industry will go on expanding until the whole of the inhabited earth is clothed with the products of its looms.
