Fapa owus a large steam gin ; he gins cotton all
the week and on Saturday he grinds corn. 1 will
close by asking the cousins a question. Why is
the rainbow always opposite the sun?
Minnctte, Colnmbus, Miss.—l have long been a
silent and interested reader of the Young Folks’
department. lam sorry that some of the cousins
object t<> pets, lor I have a lot of them—five cana
ries, four of them singers, so you may guess we
have music; a pet cat and a shepherd dog that
plays with me like another child. 1 am my mama s
only child, so hive to have my pets for play fel
lows. 1 hope Uncle Will will write and tell some
more about the stars. 1 enjoyed nis letter so much
on that subject. Please tell us what, those two
bright stars, so near together in the western hori
zon, are, and the one in the cast just at sunse.t
They are all so bright I never tire gazing at them.
