Dogs Always Know
by Elisabeth Sanxay HoldingDark-browed, she was, and dark-eyed; but with hair that was bright and soft and almost blond, and a lovely rose color in her cheeks; the sort of girl a man would admire, if there had been the true womanly gentleness in her aspect. But after that look, it was impossible to admire; he could only pity.Strange as it may seem, Miss Selby pitied him, and..

Researches on the Visual Organs of the Trilobites
by Gustaf LindstromIt is well known amongst palæontologists that the hypostoma of the trilobites has been the particular object for research and description by a few authors, as Barrande, Novák and Brögger and some passing notes concerning it are given in the descriptive works of other authors.

THE BEST PLAYS OF THE OLD DRAMATISTS.
by Thomas HeywoodHeywood, unlike many of his contemporaries, and in this respect notably unlike Dekker, seems to have kept tolerably free from joint composition.

The Life of Jesus Christ for the Young, Vol. 4
by Richard NewtonIn sailing across the ocean, if we attempt to measure the depth of the water in different places, we shall find that it varies very much.

And then there a..
A Secret Service: Being Strange Tales of a Nihilist

He has never been inside the tenth pavilion in Warsaw Citadel, where starving people have, times without number, been knouted to death. He knows nothing of the dark underground dungeons overrun with vermin in the Peter-Paul Fortress; he has never breathed their fœtid, poisoned atmosphere. ..
Chit-chat, or Short Tales in Short Words
by Maria Elizabeth BuddenKate dwelt with her Aunt in a lone cot, in one of the most sweet dells of Wales.—Cliffs rose in rude grace round their home, and the sea, with its smooth beach, was to be seen in front,—a wild wood stood on one side, and a heath spread out not far off; on the edge of which a church, with its grey spire, and a few rude huts were seen; a cot here and..
