I thought I would tell you about our goat Minnie. She is one year
and a half old, and is pure white. In the winter we hitch her to a
little sleigh, and she pulls us all around. She runs on the
curb-stone very fast, and does not fall off, and what we think
very strange is that she will come to no one but me. She plays
cross-tag with us, and when she is "it," no one can tag her back.
Will you please tell me in what month the crow builds its nest?

JOSEPH E. G.

The crow makes its nest at the beginning of warm weather. In England it
is often at work collecting sticks by the first of April, but in this
country, especially in the northern portion, it rarely begins its labors
before the last of May. Its nest is in the top of very high trees, and
when viewed from below resembles a shapeless bundle of sticks, but the
inner nest, which is made of hair and wool, is a beautifully smooth and
soft resting-place for the five green, spotted eggs. Young crows are
very ugly and awkward, and make a singular noise like a cry, but they
are very easily tamed, and make very affectionate although mischievous
pets.

LILY B.--If your poor canary allows you to handle it, you can hold it
for a moment in tepid water, which will refresh it very much.

I like to draw the "Wiggles" in YOUNG PEOPLE. We have a little
black pony, and we call him "Nig." When he is hungry, he paws with
his foot. I am twelve years old. Will you please tell me what
