instead of soda ash of caustc soda, as due to
the fact that in filling the paper its alumina
serves the same purpose as the alumina of the
alum generally used. rendering il practicable

Erasmus into a fever, and King VIadslas de-
clared that he would rather meet 1000 armed
foes than to be confined in a room with a peck

dread OF thunder, and always retired TO a vault
built for that purpose at the approach of the
smallest thundercloud. Scager, who tells OF
the woman who SO despised lilies and caboages,
was himself made sick at the sight of water
crosses, and neither he nor Peter of Abano could

sportsman, who had slain wild bears by the

pork was put on the table.
