     "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.

     Perhaps some of the readers of YOUNG PEOPLE would like to know how
     I am getting a collection of pressed leaves, flowers, etc., for
     they are very interesting as well as pretty.

      My Leaf Album, as I call it, is a blank-book about four and a half
      inches wide and seven and a half long, and it opens at the end.
      But I think that a larger book would be better, because it would
      hold some large leaves.

      I put the leaves on one side of the paper only, and fasten them in
      with a tiny touch of gum mucilage, and beneath each I write the
      name, date, where picked, and often a few words relating to
      something that occurred. For instance, below one leaf in my album
      I wrote: "Elm leaf. May 22, 1880. Picked from the tree on which we
      had our swing, at the Sunday-school picnic, near the lake, five
      miles north of L----."

      When I pick a leaf or flower I put it in a book to dry, arranging
      it carefully, and with it I put a slip of paper, on which I write
      the name of the leaf or flower, the date when
