The illustration of an ideal Single
Comb White Leghorn, male, is by
Sewell, the well-knoWn poultry artist.
It is an excellent illustration of the
grand carriage and beauty of this
variety. Some writer's claim they
are the original variety of the Leghorn
family, and others give that honor to
the Browns. But it matters little
about their history. 1t is sufficient that
we know they are the most popular Of
the Leghorn family, and that comes
from the fact that they are larger and
lay larger eggs than any of their race.
They are very popular in the East on
large egg farms. If given a warm
house, with scratching shed combined,
they will prove to be good winter lay

Model Railways.

Mr.. George Grossmith, the public
entertainer. has had working model
railway fitted UP in his dwelling house
in Dorset Square, London. This Dorset
Square line of railway has one termi-
nus in reception room, whence the
line of wooden rails extends through
the hallway into the stables, the coach
house of which forms the other termi-
nus. The engine is a fine model, cost
the original owner $780, and will car
nv three or four passengers seated
in the tender. There is another GU
riosity of this kind at Ennismore Gar
dens. the London residence of the Per-
sian minister to Great Britain. When
his excellency's eldest son, Prince Mo-
manned Khan, boy fourteen years
old visited Sheffield, he received from
Mr.. Wilson, of the firm Of Messrs. Cam
mel & Co., the gift Of model railway
locomotive and tender mounted on
miniature lines. The interesting pres
ent was conveyed to London, and is

the White Minorca never gained much
favor in this country. Our folks
want clean, yellow legs, and as the
White Minorca did not have that, and
as they had no other claims for SUI
periority, the Leghorns came right to
the front, and are to this day close riv-
