nizable. but still as perfectly formed
and as rosy asthe New England apple.
The National museum has just re-
ceived nm example of the powers of the
Japs in this mode of stock breeding
which cannot he found anywhere else
in this country. The fowl in question
is a rooster. This rooster probably
would not impress one as different from
the ordinary ~barnyard chanticleer were
it not for the enormous length of the
tail. The tail is exactly ten feet six
inches in length, and remarkable for
dts great beauty. From the back of the
rooster extend u dozen long filament
feathers, any one of which would be
long in the ordinary fowl, but three of
the feathers reach the great length
stated. They nre of a bright peacock
blue, and present a beautiful %coloring,
especially in the sunlight.
The fowl was the pride of a Japanese
farmer, and it took a large amount of
money to induce him to part with the
prize. Generation after generation he
and his fathers had watched the fowls
of the yard. Those developing an eX-
traordinary length of tail were kept by
themselves and tended carefully. In
time we've raised other chickens, with
longer tails thar their progenitors, and
from these were bred other fowls. until
the farmers labors were rewarded by
the magnificent specimen now in this
city. Every action of the fowl was
watched SO that no injury might come
to the beautiful tail; the yard pavement
was made as smooth and as free from
Uarmfn aa tho in0orrff- ~ fha hra-7A-
could suggest. No rough framework
on which the feathers might tear was
allowed, and that the rooster might be
protected from danger to his adorn-
ments through thep ugilistic tendencies
of the other birds, he was Isolated with
only his mate for company.
These long-tailed fowls are only bred
in Shinowaramura, Nagaoka county,
Tosa province, and seldom go to other
parts of the country, as their price
places them beyond the reach of all
but the rich, who retain them as a mani
~festation OF wealth. During the time
of the Tokigaua dynasty the breeding
of these fowls vas much encouraged
by the government of the feudal lords,
and the tail feathers were taken in pay
ment of local taxes. The feathers were
then used to decorate the lords spears.
and were not allowed to be exported.
But modern ideas are developing In the
japanese. and So greatly have their
commercial instincts been aroused that
what was but a few years ago held too
sacred for the eyes of the foreigner to
rest upon Is now gladly given into
the possession of that same hated be-
ing in exchange for the alI-leveling

The Ladies' Must Pay.

The generosity. as entertainers, with
which Americans treat women is in
strong contrast with the custom of Ger.
mans. In their own country they have
NO hesitation in intimating to their fe-
male companions that they are expected
to pay their share. In Germany, if q
mans feminine partner at public ball
desires a portion of ice cream, he will
bring it, but with the demand of Forty
pfennige, if you please" An instance
is found in b experience of some Eng
fish women at a Prussian military ball
given by the officers of a certain gar
rfson. The price of the supper was
printed upon the invitation. The Eng
hsh woman expected that the officers
who accompanied them would pay for
the refreshments. They were quickly
~undeceived. for, after supping, the
money was demanded. and they were
compelled to liquidate the debt-De-

A mad fascination to me is a re-

autumn winds blow chill, says a writer
in the Philadelphia Times. 1t was my
good fortune to meet one of these buy
ers recently, and this morning I feel
very proud to tell you what 1 heard
concerning garnitures and also to de-
scribe a few of the novelties that I be-
hel3 with my own two eyes," as my
maid tersely expresses 1t.
To judge from the orders received
from abroad, as well as those sentin by
travellers, fall and winters vogues will
run on dull wooden trimmings, prin-
cipally those of soutache and tubular
cord. Garnitures and collars also-the
garnitures principally in the form of
military cording and boleros of half
and full parts. Dull silk trimmings
and ~garniturcs also have been gotten
up, but they do not sell as readily as.
the wooden.
The collections contain an extensive
assortment of embroideries in all imag-
Unable styles and colors, with and with
out tinsel thread, from very narrow up
to eight inches broad. 1t is expected
that embroideries will be used almost
universally on next seasons costumes.
and even though there is hardly any
sale for passementerie, e~mbroideries
sell readily. Medium and narrow fes-
toon bands sell best.
The assortments of feather, fur and
plush trimmings are also very large.
Boas. collars and other adjuncts have an
excellent prospect. especially those OF
feather.
Entire capes are made OF ostrich and
cock feathers. In plush bands I saw
limitations of feathers and furs, Tor
should fur bands be omitted. The gen
eral opinion is that they will be en-
ployed extensively for next seasons
costumes. No great opinion Is enter
tanned of krimmer and astrakhan (mo-
hair) bands.
Black and colored silk marabouts of
moderate prices are in evidence.
Bead passementerie is fairly well neg
lected. Only a few morrow colored gar
nitures and braids with beads OF steel
have been gotten up.
Ruches still give satisfaction, and
collections of them are quite large.
They are at present made of gauze rib
bon and trimmed with feathers or mar
abouts of silk babylace. Again, ruches
are made of moire. binding the edges
of this with narrow silk edges, to keep
from raveling.-St. Louis Republic.
