staff, Telling me neither to smile nor to laugh. Buff says 'Baff,' to all his men, And I say 'Baff' to you again. And he neither laughs nor smiles, In spite of all your cunning wiles, But carries his face with a very good grace, And passes his staff to the very next place."
If he can repeat all this without laughing, he delivers up his staff to some one else, and takes his seat; but if he laughs, or even smiles, he pays a forfeit before giving it up.

BLIND MAN'S BUFF
In the olden times this game was known by the name of "Hood-man Blind," as in those days the child that was chosen to be "blind man" had a hood placed over his head, which was fastened at the back of the neck.
In the present day the game is called "Blind Man's Buff," and very popular it is among young folk.

Before beginning to play, the middle of the room should be cleared, the chairs placed against the wall, and all toys and footstools put out of the way. The child having
nts, weather conditions and other factors. There isno way of predicting in advance what areas of the country would beaffected by fallout, or how soon the particles would fall back to earthat a particular location.
Some communities might get a heavy accumulation of fallout, whileothers--even in the same general area--might get little or none. No areain the U.S. could be sure of not getting fallout, and it is probablethat some fallout particles would be deposited on most of the country.
Areas close to a nuclear explosion might receive fallout within 15-30minutes. It might take 5-10 hours or more for the particles to driftdown on a community 100 or 200 miles away.
Generally, the first 24 hours after fallout began to settle would be themost dangerous period to a community's residents. The heavier particlesfalling during that time would still be highly radioactive and give offstrong rays. The lighter particles falling later would have lost much oftheir radiation high in the atmosphere
ns to be noticed, the writer of editorials. News items are confined to facts. Editorials contain expressions of opinion. Everybody reads news, because it speaks for itself. Editorials are designed to mould public opinion. Unless they are characterized by extreme good sense or brilliancy, nobody heeds them, though, if he makes a mistake in one, the writer of editorials is apt to conclude that everybody reads them. The writer of editorials must therefore be a person of exceptional qualifications.
III. Class Organization
For the present the teacher of the class studying this book may act as city editor and the pupils as reporters. Later, perhaps, a more formal organization may be effected, with pupils as managing editor, assistant managing editor, city editor, etc.
IV. Newspaper Coöperation
The editor of the local paper will probably be willing to print any really good material that the class produces. If possible, an arrangement for this purpose should be made with him
ng device. It will keep your novel or short fiction piece focused and can even be used for publishing and marketing purposes. With a little tweaking you already have a blurb for your back cover and press release!
Every story breaks down to this essential statement. But how can one sentence sum up a novel length story? Consider Wally Lamb's 800 plus-page novel, I Know This Much Is True: An angry, resentful brother feels obligated to keep his schizophrenic twin out of harm's way. In Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code: A man under suspicion must solve a murder that is shrouded in ancient Christian ritual. In Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita: An aging professor is obsessed with a troubled girl.
Let's go back to Mary and her mother.
"Who is Mary's mother? What's her name?"
"Her name is Adele," you say.
"And what does Adele want?"
"Adele has what she wants. She wants Mary to be dependent on her. She wants to keep her that way."
The problem with this story goal is that it is reac
ic and symbolic constraints. Together, these two levels augment Common Lisp with practically all of the functionality of both Prolog and constraint logic programming languages such as CHiP and CLP(R). Furthermore, Screamer is fully integrated with Common Lisp. Screamer programs can coexist and interoperate with other extensions to Common Lisp such as CLOS, CLIM and Iterate.

Others were experimenting at the same time, among them Mr. Wolcott and Prof. Draper, and Mr. Morse, with his acustomed modesty, thinks that it would be difficult to say to whom is due the credit of the first Daguerreotype portrait. At all events, so far as my knowledge serves me, Professor Morse deserves the laurel wreath, as from him originated the first of our inumerable class of Daguerreotypists; and many of his pupils have carried the manipulation to very great perfection. In connection with this matter I will give the concluding paragraph of a private letter from the Professor to me; He says.
"If mine were the first, other experimenters soon made better results, and if there are any who dispute that I was first, I shall have no argument with them; for I was not so anxious to be the first to produce the result, as to
neralogical andpaleontological nature, and by confining the field of view almostwholly to our own continent, space has been obtained to give towhat are deemed for beginners the essentials of the science afuller treatment than perhaps is common.
It is assumed that field work will be introduced with thecommencement of the study. The common rocks are therefore brieflydescribed in the opening chapters. The drift also receives earlymention, and teachers in the northern states who begin geology inthe fall may prefer to take up the chapter on the Pleistoceneimmediately after the chapter on glaciers.
Simple diagrams have been used freely, not only because they areoften clearer than any verbal statement, but also because theyreadily lend themselves to reproduction on the blackboard by thepupil. The text will suggest others which the pupil may invent. Itis hoped that the photographic views may also be used forexercises in the class room.
The generous aid of many friends is recognized with special
months after birth, at a period of life when the nervous system is not completely developed, and it is impossible for the infant to coordinate its movements, mothers wasted several half-hours of the day "teaching baby to walk." Holding the little creature by the body, they watched the aimless movements of the tiny feet, and deluded themselves with the belief that the child was already making an effort to walk; and because it does actually by degrees begin to arch its feet and move its legs more boldly, the mother attributed its progress to her instruction. When finally the movement had been almost established--though not the equilibrium, and the resulting power to stand on the feet--mothers made use of certain straps with which they held up the baby's body, and thus made it walk on the ground with themselves; or, when they had no time to spare, they put the baby into a kind of bell-shaped basket, the broad base of which prevented it from turning over; they tied the infant into this, hanging its arms outside,

LESSON 2.
Every "describing" word, that is, every word which tells the kind orquality of a person or thing, ends in "a," as "granda", large; "rugxa",red.
(A describing word is called an ADJECTIVE).
