Pets Correspondence: Goldfish, hawks.

R.E. – 1. Keep your goldfish in a regular aquarium with water-plants; you may give tiny worms now and then, or meat shredded very small, insects, etc. 2. We will not tell you how to train your hawk to catch birds; it is cruel in the extreme.

Correspondence: The Benefits of Cycling


CYCLING (F.J. Gardner). – Cycling in moderation is perhaps the best exercise out or in, if you sit erect on your machine and not lean your chin on the steering bar, squatting like a cat on a garden wall. Such a position results in rolled shoulders, contracted chests, and general ill-health.
