Harper's Young People, February 3, 1880 Part 8

ADDIE W. P.--The quotation you wish is probably this: "Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it." It occurs in Shakspeare's play of _Macbeth_, act first, scene fourth.

GEORGE O. D.--We are very sorry you are so unfortunate, and trust the weekly visit of _Young People_ will continue to brighten the monotony of your illness.

W. T. DOTY.--The incident you mention must be taken as an exception to a general rule, as the personal observation of many students of natural history establishes the statement to which you demur.

ETHEL S. M.--Either spelling of the word is correct. The form you object to is more often used by American writers than the one you found in your English history.

Favors are acknowledged from Esther B., Minnesota; Osborn D., Arkansas; Bert C. S., Iowa; Tillie F. W., Maryland; Ethel P., Was.h.i.+ngton, D. C.; Willie Baldwin, Ma.s.sachusetts; Louis C. V., New Jersey. From Connecticut--Archie H. L., "Daisy." From New York--M. Cohn, Addie and A. Goodnow. From Missouri--Charlie B., Theodore W. B. From Illinois--S. M. H., Marion Potter. From California--Mary M. Carr, Arthur White.

Correct answers to puzzles are received from Charlie A. T., Illinois; H. W. Singer, Ohio; Florence and Pauline W., California; J. T. Newcombe, Michigan; Ida U. B., Minnesota; John R. Glen, Georgia; S. Addison W., Maryland; C. S. C., Connecticut; J. H. Ha.s.sett, New Hamps.h.i.+re. From Ma.s.sachusetts--A. A. Gilmore, Stanley King, C. H. A., A. F. C. From New York--Thomas H. Van T., F. W. P., Mabel L., William MacG., Walter L., H. and B., Rufus W. T., E. S., F. Bisbee. Oscar F., New Jersey.

Many of these answers are given in very neat operations in figures.

Answers to Mathematical Puzzles in No. 10:
