her In conversation. Before he had gone
far he took occasion to remark. Have
you seen Lees Miserablesr anglicizing

Her black eyes snapped with indigna-

first greenhouse erected in England was
in the Apothecaries' garden at Chelsea
in 1854. 1t merely had glass sides and
was heated by kind Of oven. In 1717
a glass rooted house was built By the
Duke Of Rutland at Belvoir castle for
foreign grapes, heated by furnaces placed
under the floor of the house. Steam was
first used in 1873, and hot water soon
afterward was applied to q small house

And saw thee day by day.
You often used to chide me;

In hunt or dance or walk.

Your judgment swift and sure,
Your words were strong, yet humblei
