It must be fun to drive a rooster in harness, and the little wagon must
look "cute." Did you begin when he was a little chick? Are you not
afraid the guinea-pigs will have "nerves" if you give them coffee?

I haven't any pets to tell about, but I have six dolls. I live in
Philadelphia all winter, but in the spring I go to Mayville, on
Chautauqua Lake, near the Sunday-school Assembly Grounds. I go
there a great many times, and I think it is very nice.
I have a horse of my own in Mayville. Her name is Daisy. I ride
horseback on her. Once she threw me, and nearly broke my arm. It
was bruised so I couldn't use it for a week.
I am beginning to get together a cabinet of curiosities. I will
exchange a 25 and 50 cent stamp from Germany, a 2 and 5 cent from
Finland, and 15 and 25 cent from France, and some silk cocoons and
spun silk, for ore; shells, minerals, or anything fit for a
cabinet.
