I have a fine collection of silk cocoons, and would like to exchange some for foreign stamps from any country except France, Germany, or Italy.

Alberto dal Molin, care Giuseppe dal Molin,
Verona, Italy.


Twenty stamps, for an Indian arrow-head or any foreign coin except Canadian; forty stamps, for a U. S. half-cent. No duplicate stamps given.

Ten War Department stamps, for ten from Jamaica.

Charles Williamson,

Two books, both nearly new—Lucy Woodville's Temptation and Reuben Inch—to any one who will send me the back numbers of St. Nicholas for 1881 and the successive numbers as soon as they shall have been read. Please write before exchanging.
