Amphibians frogs, toads, newts, etc. live on land for the greater part of the year, but return ...

Racing in France is at the moment beset with diffi ...

... By A. CROXTON SMITH MOST bulldog breeders are in the state of mind of Mr. Micawber --waiting for something to turn up. Sad experience may temper their optimism, yet, like that volatile gentleman, they go on hoping. I have known many who have been trying for years without the realisation of their great expectations reaching fulfilment. High is their reward, however, if they breed a champion or ...

... By Harriet Muir I ALWAYS like to have two tins of biscuits in my cupboard, one sweet and one savoury. I find them invaluable to draw on in every kind of emergency. Filled biscuits make excellent hors d'oeuvres, or savouries in place of a sweet. Served with cheese, they are much nicer than bread.
