"New York, Sunday.

The s.s. Minnehaha left here yesterday for London with fifty crates of American birds and a great variety of animals.

Three trunks were carried for the oppossum to build in and for the beavers to gnaw."—Daily Mirror.

Nothing is said about the other creatures' luggage.


From the time-table of a Hampshire motor-service:—

"The Fares between any points on any route will be found where the vertical line of figures under the name of one of the points meets the horizontal line of figures which terminates in the name of the other of the two points between which it is desired to travel."

The Hampshire Hog needs to be a very learned pig.
