Bee Keeping for Profit. A New System of Bee Management (1880)
by Lizzie E. CottonThe hive and system of bee management recommended in these pages is entirely original with me, and is not patented.

Bee Keeping for Profit. A New System of Bee Management (1891)
by Lizzie E. CottonIn presenting this work I have no apology to make.

by John T. McIntyreUncle Dick, or as the world knew him, Capt. Richard Deering of the schooner Defence, nodded in a friendly fashion to Cole, who grinned back, from his seat in the bow of the skiff.

They come to spawn in the waters where they were themsel..
Stories from the Crusades
by Janet Harvey KelmanThe stories in this book are of heroes who lived hundreds of years ago. They caught sight of a beautiful dream and lived and died to make it come true. Their eagerness swept along with them not only men who had never dreamed the dream and who did not know for what end they fought, but bad men also who only wished to get what they could for themselv..
The Demon Trapper of Umbagog
by Daniel P. ThompsonMark Elwood, much chagrined and discomposed at the discovery of such an untoward first reception of his brother, now ushered him into the brilliantly-lighted hall, where the two stood in such singular contrast that no stranger would have ever taken them for brothers,—Mark being, as we have before described him, a good-sized, and, in the main, a goo..
The Memoirs of a Swine in the Land of Kultur
by Benjamin MuseA prisoner of war camp had many characteristics in common with other communities of human beings. It had its social classes, its great and its humble citizens, its rich and its poor. In arriving in camp I was fortunate enough to meet a friend, a Frenchman, with three years service in captivity and an ample stock of provisions. He “adopted” me. The ..
