LLE TRULL.

SCOTTSVILLE, NEW YORK.

I am nine years old, and I go to school nearly every day. All the
pet I have now is a white kitten. I did have an oriole, which was
caught when very young. We put it in a cage and hung it in the
cherry-tree, and its mother came and fed it every day until it was
time for the birds to go to a warmer climate. It used to be very
fond of bread and milk.

Maggie M. M. has a big Newfoundland dog, just her own age, nine years,
which is her faithful friend.

Belle Metzgar, Jessie Edna, C. F. Cooper, Harry B., and Charles Bentley
all send pretty accounts of domestic pets, which we would be glad to
print if there was space to spare.

studies.

I once had three pigeons, and when I fed them they would turn round
and round. Will you tell me how to feed guinea-pigs?

MARK FRANCIS.

You can feed guinea-pigs on cabbage leaves, bits of bread and cake, and
all kinds of fruit. They like carrot tops better than any other food,
especially in the spring, when the green is fresh and tender. You must
give them plenty of water.

N. L. COLLAMER.--Your monthly magazine is very well edited. It is
difficult to determine the correct spelling of Shakspeare's name, as
equally reliable authorities disagree.

"LITTLE MARIE."--Your puzzle is very neatly done; but as "every large
city" is not so favored as the one where you live, we fear it would not
be easy to solve.

ELLA W.--You may send the one entirely original, and if it is pretty and
very short, we might use it.

RICHARD S. C.--Your plan for a magnetic motor is very ingenious, and the
machine would no doubt make a pretty and curious toy.
