Moral and legal suasion must go together. a
bird can as well fly with one wing or boat be

the instructors have been able assiduou., and de-
voted TO their work, and to the advancement of
the school In scientific study.

the haolln, from which is manufactured porcelain
and China ware; Cundy's Hsrbor in Ilarpswell,

Islands visited, was Stave island, whose solitary
