Rexford Flats, New York.

I would like to belong to the Natural History Society, and when I find anything interesting I will report. Last spring, as my mother was digging in the garden, she unearthed a queer specimen. It was a common white grub, with one of the little knobs on its head grown to about an inch in length, and the other was about half as long. How many of the Natural History scholars have seen such a specimen? Not many, I am afraid. I found a ripe wild strawberry Friday, the 14th of October.

I have a Cashmere goat and two wagons. The goat is entirely white. His name is Billee G. Taylor. I have painted his horns with gold paint, and it makes him look beautiful. He eats everything, from old shoes down to grass, newspapers, leather, and especially dry beech and sycamore leaves, but he will not touch maple leaves. Isn't it funny?

Culleoka, Tennessee.

Many copies of Young People are sent to Culleoka every week, and yet I have never seen a letter from here. We use Young People in school instead of Readers. I am very much interested in "Tim and Tip." Please tell Jimmy Brown to write some more of his troubles; I enjoy reading his letters so much. I can work the Labyrinth Puzzle.
