TROY, NEW YORK.

I am very fond of natural history and botany. The other day I was
out walking with my teacher, and I saw a caterpillar, or, as my
little friend Ada says, a pillarcat! It had a black body, with a
red stripe running along its back. I wish some one would tell me
what kind it was. I would like "Wee Tot's" address.

LENA.

The address of "Wee Tot" was given with her letter in Post-office Box
No. 26. Walter H. P., who wrote about caterpillars in Post-office Box
No. 31, can perhaps tell you the name of the caterpillar, and what kind
of butterfly or moth it produces, although you describe only its color.
Had you stated its size, length, and other peculiarities, it would be
easier to give you its name.

I like to read YOUNG PEOPLE very much, but I like the pictures
best of all. I have shown the paper to the boys in our
neighborhood, and have got a good many of them to take it. I never
drew any Wiggles before, but I like them. I am twelve years old,
and I work for a dentist.

I am very much interested in the Wiggles, and I read all the
poetry in YOUNG PEOPLE. I like the Letter-box better than
anything. I get my paper from the bookstore here. I wish you would
tell me where I can buy a cannon, a real cannon, so I can shoot on
the Fourth of July.

I am twelve years old. I have a little dog and a big cat. They
play together all the time. Sometimes when they are playing they
get so tired that they lie down together and go to sleep. My
sister had a wax doll. One day she left it on the table, and my
dog got it, and tore off all its hair.

We have three cats. One is black and white, and it jumps into
mamma's lap every time it comes into the room. And we have a dear
little colt one month old. When the man puts it in the field it
races all around, and seems to enjoy itself so much. I am nearly
ten years old.
