I am having a great deal of fun this vacation. I read two hours every day. I am now reading the Life of Benjamin Franklin. I enjoy it very much.
I am making a collection of stones, and will exchange stones from the shore of Lake Erie for specimens from other places of note.
Wilbur T. Mills,
Cleveland, Ohio.
As Cleveland is a very large city, we doubt if this address is sufficient, and we will gladly print a fuller one if our young correspondent will send it.
I would like to exchange seeds of the sensitive plant for seeds or roots of rare plants growing in the far West or in the most eastern States.
Fred H. Lowe,
Salem, Dent County, Missouri.
I am a constant reader of your splendid paper. I enjoy "The Moral Pirates" very much.
I brought two mud-turtles from the country this summer. One is so tame it will eat from my hand. I feed them on worms, meat, and flies.
