A. H. A.—There is no such class of people as you refer to. Exceptional cases may exist.
Kate S. (nine years).—Your puzzles are very neat for such a little girl to compose.
Martha W. D.—Your puzzle is good, but we are afraid our young readers would never make it out, as it requires an extraordinary amount of geographical knowledge.
"Enquirer," Madison.—A phonograph must be obtained of Thomas A. Edison, Menlo Park, New Jersey, from whom you can also obtain a price-list. You will find interesting information in a book entitled The Telephone, the Microphone, and the Phonograph, by Count Du Moncel, recently published by Messrs. Harper and Brothers.
Pleasant and welcome letters are acknowledged from Abraham L. M., Alie M. B., and Julien S. U.
