John B. M., Nicholas P. G., and Robbie C. write pretty stories of their
pet cats, dogs, and foxes, which we regret having no room to print. In
answer to Robbie's question, we would say that the bite of a fox is
painful, but not dangerous like that of a dog.

WILLIE R. C.--When you recover from your illness, and can write your
"own self," we will print your letter if it is interesting.

LOUDON ENGLE and HARRY D.--Pigeons like to eat bird seed, broken corn,
or any kind of grain, and enjoy that kind of food much better than
bread-crumbs. They need fresh water to drink, and will bathe now and
then, like a canary, if they have a bath dish large enough to flutter
in.

W. M. L.--There is many a one much older than you who would be glad to
know an easy and quick way to make ten dollars. Unfortunately we can not
tell you how to accomplish your object.

META.--Your poetic idea of beauty is very pretty, and shows much
imagination for such a little girl.

* * * * *

BESSIE D. L.--Call your bird Rosie, and your kitty Clover. There was
once a big Maltese cat named Clover who did many funny tricks, and lived
to be very old. If you name your kitty after her, perhaps she will live
as long.

MARY B.--Your plan for a picture scrap-book is very good. Try to select
some pictures of historical localities and celebrated buildings, and
then, when you show your book to your little friends, you will have
something interesting to tell them.

* * * * *

CLARA M. H.--Your "old bachelor uncle" is very kind to send you YOUNG
PEOPLE, and you will be glad to hear that a large number of other uncles
have made their little nieces happy in the same way.
