After staying at the mine four days, I went home, having had a fine time
"roughing it" in a gold mine.
Please send me full particulars of the "Who? When? What? Chart" as soon as
you possibly can, and also tell me whether you will send me one of those
books which you want criticised. I am eleven years old. I like to read
very much--history, travel, and adventure being my favorites. The books I
like specially are Oliver Optic's works for travels, and G.A. Henty's
works for historical facts and thrilling adventures. I like other books
also.
Hoping that I do not inconvenience you, I am respectfully,
JULES W.L., Jr.

EXHIBITION OF CHILDREN'S WORK.
There has been a very interesting exhibition, in New York, of sewing done
by the children in the public schools.
France, England, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, China, and Japan have all
sent exhibits of their work, and so it has been possible to see what kind
of sewing is being done all over the world.
It is very much to the credit of America that the home work far outshines
that of any of the foreign countries.
This exhibition was not one of fancy work or embroideries, though every
country sent some specimens of the special work for which it is
celebrated.
