FRANKIE P.

I am eleven years old. I take HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE, and I like
the Post-office Box best of all. I have two pet pigeons. They are
very tame, and fly to me when I go out; I never feed them except
out of my hands. I would like to exchange pressed flowers with any
little girl.

I have about five hundred specimens and curiosities of different
kinds which I would like to exchange with any correspondents of
YOUNG PEOPLE. I myself have a cabinet of about one thousand
specimens. Letters or packages may be addressed to

I am ten years old. My father takes YOUNG PEOPLE for me, and I
enjoy it very much. I save all my money to buy Du Chaillu's books.
I have three now, and mean to get them all. Will you please tell
me if Du Chaillu is alive yet? I hope he is, and is making some
more books for us boys. I have a pet horned owl. He snaps his bill
and hisses at me.

EUGENE S.

Mr. Du Chaillu is alive, and in excellent health. You will be pleased to
know, also, that he is hard at work on new books, which promise to be of
even greater interest than those already published.

kinds of vegetables, herbage, or grain. Do not give them parsley, as it
is said to be poisonous to them.
