DEAR WILLIE:

Singing mice are very rare; but we have been to the store where we get our
lizards, and tadpoles, and goldfish, and the man who keeps it has promised
to see if he can hear of one. If he is fortunate enough to find such a
mouse he is to let us know, and if you send us your address we will tell
you how much he wants for it, and where you can see it.

DEAR EDITOR:

A number of us girls have formed a society named The Daffodil
Reading Circle, of which I am the president. We meet at the
different girls' houses every week. I subscribe for THE
GREAT ROUND WORLD. It is one of the principal things we
read, and we all enjoy it very much. We were very much
interested in the article about the cuttlefish or octopus found
on the coast of Florida, in Number 16. I am surprised to hear
to-day that it has been examined by some scientific men, who say
that it is not an octopus at all, but only the head of a
deformed whale. I am very anxious to hear what the truth is
about it.

Your interested reader,
FLORENCE C.R.
