that has eaten eleven of them, and I can not kill her. I have
pigeons too, and have raised a good many. I read a letter in YOUNG
PEOPLE No. 13 from a little boy who hatched a chicken by putting
the egg in ashes. I wish he would tell me how he kept the egg
warm.

I have tried Nellie H.'s recipe for sugar candy, and I found it
very nice indeed. I intend to try Puss Hunter's recipe for cake,
and I will let her know my success.

Here is a recipe for chocolate caramels for the cooking club: One
cup and a half of sugar; one cup of grated chocolate; one cup of
milk; one cup of molasses; a piece of butter the size of an egg;
one tea-spoonful of vanilla. Let the mixture boil twenty minutes,
and then pour it in buttered tins to cool.

I am nine years old. I do not go to school, but I study at home,
and I can write pretty well. I tried the recipe that Nellie H.
sent, and it was very nice. I tried it several times. I had a
canary once, but it died, and papa buried it under a tree.

Fannie A. Hartwell and Bertha C. M. send recipes for doll's cup-cake for
Puss Hunter's cooking club, but as they are almost the same as the one
from Bessie L. S., printed in Post-office Box No. 28, we do not repeat
them. The domestic inclinations of these little housekeepers of the
future are very pleasing, and we hope other little girls will send
recipes for the cooking club, which should certainly be encouraged.

GENEVA LAKE, WISCONSIN.

I will be ten years old in July. I take YOUNG PEOPLE, and I think
there never was such a nice little paper. We have live
cherry-trees, and they are all in bloom (May 7). We live near the
lake, and my little brother and I play on the shore almost every
day. They are launching two large steamers to-day. Papa, mamma,
and I went out fishing not long ago; we did not catch even one
fish, but we enjoyed the sail very much. I am going to the woods
to-morrow, and will send "Wee Tot" some wild flowers. I have a pet
kitty and a little Sky
