Separateness, as, lands in severalty, i.e., lands held individually, not in joint ownership. Certain tribes of Indians are believed now to be sufficiently civilized to have in severalty the lands that they have hitherto held as tribal organizations, and could not sell to the Whites for waxen beads and potato whisky.

Lo! the poor Indian whose unsuited mind
Saw death before, hell and the grave behind;
Whom thrifty settlers ne'er besought to stay —
His small belongings their appointed prey;
Whom Dispossession, with alluring wile,
Persuaded elsewhere every little while!
His fire unquenched and his undying worm
By "land in severalty" (charming term!)
Are cooled and killed, respectively, at last,
And he to his new holding anchored fast!

n. A large red organ thoughtfully provided by nature to be bilious with. The sentiments and emotions which every literary anatomist now knows to haunt the heart were anciently believed to infest the liver; and even Gascoygne, speaking of the emotional side of human nature, calls it "our hepaticall parte." It was at one time considered the seat of life; hence its name — liver, the thing we live with. The liver is heaven's best gift to the goose; without it that bird would be unable to supply us with the Strasbourg paté.

(noun) The ancient art of combining two numerical beasts to create a mathematical monster. Often accompanied by confused looks, sweaty brows, and mild panic attacks. The process involves strategically placing numbers side by side and hoping for the best.

Lets say 47 + 69

Adding two-digit numbers is like having a race between a tortoise and a hare. The tortoise represents the tens place (4 in 47), and the hare represents the ones place (7 in 47).

First, the hare quickly hops over to the hare from the other number, which is 6. Now the hare is at 13, but it gets tired and goes back to the starting line. Meanwhile, the tortoise steadily crawls over to the other tortoise, which is 6. Now the tortoise is at 10.

At this point, the tortoise looks over and sees the hare at 13. The tortoise realizes it needs to catch up. So, it takes one more step, reaching 11, and then another step, reaching 12, and finally one more step, reaching 13.

Now, both the tortoise and the hare are at 13! They crossed the finish line together, and that's the answer to 47 + 69. The total is 116.

Just like the tortoise and the hare, each digit takes its own path to meet up, and when they finally do, you get the sum of the two numbers!
