OF which he had been at one time a
devotee. Then he went on TO narrate
how he had ceased TO be a smoker for
years; how he went to Australia on a
scientific expedition; how. after a
wearisome day. his party turned up to
dinner in their tent; and how. after
the meal. all his companions lit up.

guineas to .,atch out their own eggs is
that the young guineas are apt to be

and liberal cash premiums at the ex.
hibitions OF their country, still further
development may be looked for. The
stately pouter cock in the engraving
was sketched from q winning bird
shown in England by the well-known
Scotchman and writer on pigeons,
Robert Fulton. These birds have in
their show cages pedestal on which
TO stand that they may pose erect, this
being the ideal carriage for pouters.
rs the length of their tails prevents
the bird from standing straight when
shown on the floor Of the show cage.
Length and slenderness of girth are
properties quite as much looked for in
these birds as is the large, roundly-
inflated crop. The fullness in the back
Of the crop in this pouter was point to
which Mr.. Fulton especially called my
attention as being much coveted and
priced by fanciers. These birds meas

beak to tip of tail. The legs, also,
should be long, to inches being

the model OF the portrait of the fan
tail, in the lofts of his breeder, not
long before the expectation to this
country. The precaution which the
owner took in handling this specimen
while showing it to me was only a
sample of the great care taken by
British fancicrs in rearing the birds
and training them for show purposes
The way in which the show fantail is
the development of well-formed and
well-carried tail as does the birds very
breeding. Not feather must be
twisted or displaced, not a movement
of the head restrained-for the car

q judge of them If the bird is deficient
In this respect l have seen these
birds SO proud and strutting, so high
on tiptoe. that their gait. il so it might
be called, was but dancing. and APP
parently as many steps were taken
backward as forward, while scarcely a
half-dozen in succession were per-
formed either way. Their motion was
whirling and turning. backward and
forward. all the while sticking the
head and neck forward and backward
in a nervous, strutting fashion, the
very picture Of self-consciousness and
pride. Such is the fantail as seen at
our best exhibitions Of pigeons and
poultry. The sight Of a group is not
unlike that Of bed Of large white
lilies or tulips shaken by the wind
