PLEASANCE MILLER, Chicorica Park, Raton, Colfax Co., New Mexico.
I will exchange Idaho minerals for well-bound books of an instructive character. Correspondents will please send a list of books they wish to exchange before sending me any package.
J. P. CLOUGH, Junction, Lemhi Co., Idaho.
We hope that these exchangers who wish to obtain books will meet with success and fair dealing, as we regard the exchange of books, if well conducted, as one likely to prove both pleasant and beneficial.
I would like to exchange a Baltimorean self-inking press for a good scroll-saw. My press is a new one. I will also give two boxes of old English and two of plain type for some patterns and saws.

I will exchange little cakes of nice maple sugar with any little girl, for shells or sea-moss. We make a good lot of sugar here.
EDNA WHEELER, Williamsville, Windham Co., Vt.
I live in Nagasaki, Japan. I was born here in an old temple. I have a little sister seven years old. I am always so glad to get YOUNG PEOPLE! I watch anxiously for every mail to come, that I may read the new stories.
I have a great many pressed flowers and ferns, which I would like to exchange, with any reader of YOUNG PEOPLE, for curious flower seeds, Indian arrow-heads, or other curiosities.
I am a Southern girl, and I love YOUNG PEOPLE as well as any of the Northern children. I live at our country-seat at a place called "Locust Grove." It is very dear to me, and very beautiful. It has been one of the coldest winters we have had in many years. The snow has been more than a foot deep in many places, and it staid on the ground three weeks.
I would like to exchange crochet patterns with some of the many little girls who write to the Post-office Box. I crochet a great deal, and I would like some new patterns.

"Wee Tot" Brainard wishes to say that she has nearly one hundred letters now lying unanswered, and she asks her correspondents to be patient, and they shall all receive attention. Her cabinet of curiosities is really very fine. There are beautiful things from all parts of the world, and others are constantly coming.
I will exchange a specimen of the rock from which Michigan stucco and plaster are made, for any curiosity except stamps. The plaster beds are near here. To make the plaster they blast the rock, and break it and grind it.
