May M. Vinton, Mabel Lowell, Alberta F. Morrill, and K. R. send very nice recipes for candy, but they are so very similar to recipes already published that we can not make room for them. We would request the young housekeepers to avoid repetition as much as possible, for while we thank them all for their favors, we can only print such recipes as are new.
I would like to 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.
VANCE MARTIN, 243 Dearborn Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
I am ten years old. My aunt takes HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE for my sister and myself.
I would like to exchange pressed leaves and flowers with some little girl in California.
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.
DOTTY SEAMAN, Richmond, Staten Island, New York.
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.
CHARLIE WILLIAMSON, 293 Eckford Street, Brooklyn, New York.
I tried Fanny S.'s recipe for caramels, and thought it was very nice.
I would like to exchange postage stamps with any boy or girl.
J. FRED SEAMAN, 114 Cumberland Street, Brooklyn, New York.
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.
