If "Dot," of Washington, D. C., will send me her address, I would like to write to her. I am an invalid myself, and can sympathize with everybody that is sick in any way. I am eleven years old.

I should like to tell the little girl named "Dot" all I know about taming birds. I had two canaries, and they both died, but my sister had one, and every day I would take it out of the cage and pet it. It became so tame that it would eat out of my hand, and when I let it out of its cage, it would fly upon the tops of the picture-frames, and sometimes come and perch upon my shoulder. When school began I did not have time to pet it any more, and it became wild again.

I am twelve years old. My mamma raises canary-birds. We are raising some mocking-birds, and if any of the correspondents of Young People could arrange to exchange a pair of pure Maltese kittens for a singing mocking-bird, I would be very much pleased.
