"DEL," Zanesville, Ohio.--Flat cribbage-boards can be bought at a very
low price, and folding ones which hold the cards are not expensive. You
might make one from a piece of thick pasteboard, but as there must be
sixty-one peg-holes for each player, it would not be easy to cut them
neatly.--It is more customary to leave a card for each person called
upon, especially where the visit is formal.

GEORGE H. H.--Harper's new School Geography gives Wheeling as the
capital of West Virginia.

FREDIE G.--Even if you are only seven years, you are old enough to read
a boys' book about wild animals. Lions will catch and eat nearly all
beasts that come in their way. They will even overpower a giraffe or a
buffalo. The elephant and rhinoceros are almost the only quadrupeds a
lion dare not meddle with.
