o exchange for some birds' eggs a collection of
Christmas, New-Year, and birthday cards, about sixty in number,
and all in good order. Most of them are as good as new. If some
correspondent would write to me, stating the number and the
varieties of eggs he would be willing to exchange with me, we
might agree on terms.

I am collecting different kinds of seeds, and I would like to
exchange them with any correspondents of YOUNG PEOPLE. We have
only purple and white larkspurs, and if Mary Lowry has any other
colors, I will gladly exchange pink seed for them.

Some boys, friends of mine in this part of Brooklyn, are going to
start a young chemists' club, and I desire recipes for simple
experiments from any readers of YOUNG PEOPLE.

I also send a recipe for Puss Hunter's cooking club. Currant
ice-cream: one table-spoonful and a half of currant jelly or
juice; one cup of sugar; one pint of sweet cream; the juice of one
lemon. Stir until the sugar is thoroughly melted, and freeze.

I will exchange flowers, ferns, leaves, and mosses from the Long
Island woods with any readers of YOUNG PEOPLE.

My home is eighteen miles from St. Paul, on Lake St. Croix. It is
a beautiful lake, and is navigable for large steamers, and there
is splendid fishing here for boys. We find many specimens of
carnelian on the lake shore. It is a species of agate or
chalcedony. I would like to exchange some for any curiosities from
any other State.
