We congratulate the members of the Young Chemists' Club upon their perseverance and success. We shall always be glad to receive reports of anything interesting which may occur at their meetings, and also occasionally to print simple and safe experiments, which we doubt not will be of interest to many of our young readers. The ink with which the above communication was written is of a bright, clear purple color, and appears of an excellent quality. * * * * * ST. JOSEPH, TENSAS PARISH, LOUISIANA. I have only been taking YOUNG PEOPLE for a few months, but I like it so much I hope never to be without it. I want to write a letter to the Post-office Box, but I can not write myself, for I am only five years old; so somebody has to write it for me. I had two pretty gray kittens. You could not tell them apart. Their names were Jack and Jill. But poor little Jill died. Jack loves me so much! He goes to sleep with me every night, and the first thing in the morning, when he comes into the room, he looks all around for me, and if I am still in bed, he will jump up and cuddle down near me. I have some pretty dolls I would like to write about, but I am afraid if my letter is too long it will be thrown away. I have no brothers or sisters except in heaven, and I am very lonely sometimes, and always so glad to see YOUNG PEOPLE. SADIE B. N. * * * * * POUGHKEEPSIE, NEW YORK. I am a little girl eleven years old. I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much. I think the best story was "The Fair Persian," but I like them all more than I can tell. I have ten dolls. The last one I got Christmas. Her name is Madame Arabella. I am going to be an artist when I am old enough. ADDIE W. * * * * * BRATTLEBOROUGH, VERMONT. I like HARPER'S YOUNG PEOPLE very much. I study Harper's School Geography. I am just learning how to skate. For Christmas I got a chamber set and a tea set, a pretty book, two bags of candy, and a bag of nuts. I am eight and a half years old. MARY W. W. * * * * * MARIETTA, OHIO. I am ten years old. I have a little sister named Julia, but when she commenced to talk she called herself Jupi, and we all call her so. Mamma says we ought to spell it _joujou_, which is the French word for plaything. We like YOUNG PEOPLE so much we can hardly wait for it to come. Papa has taken it for us ever since it was published. Jupi and I each have a pet kitty. One of them will scratch on the door, just like a dog, until some one opens it.
