Prior to starting for the camp, Elm peror William received three addresses from local bodies to all of whom he re- piled simply, T thank you very much for coming to see me-"
 His majesty arrived at the review ground at the head of the cavalcade with Lord Roberts at his side and re- viewed some 600 men of his regiment. The inspection lasted only ten minutes. the Emperor passing down the line while torrents of rain were falling. and in the teeth of a gale of wind. His majesty keenly scrutinized the officers, men and horses. He then proceeded to the salut- ing basis. After the march, the drag formed a hollow square, and Emperor William chiefly addressed the regiment
 The emperor said:
 Tt gives me great pleasure for the first time since the death of your late quecn my beloved grandmother, to have the honor of being able to inspect you I congratulate the regiment on it's appear ance and on the way In which it conduct ed itssif in South Africa l congratulate you on your return home and on the ardu. GUS duties which you have fulfilled with honor to your country and to the gratifi- cation of your king. am pleased to be able to inspect you today and I think the best way of thanking his majesty for the kindness I am receiving is to order the regiment to give three cheers for their sovereign.
 Three cheers for his majesty. King Edward" cried the emperor, who led the salvo of hurrahs.
 Emperor William and the officers then repaired to the mess room of the regi- ment, where his majesty had lunch. Sub sequently he was driven in closed car rieg to Shoencliffe station and took a train for Sandringham. Among the house party there are the Prince of Wales, Premier Balfour, Colonial Secre- tary Chamberlain and Mrs. Chamberlain, War Secretary Frederick

New Orleans, November S.-Louisiana State university defeated the University of Mississippi at Athletic park today in one of the most stubbornly contested football games ever seen on New Or leans gridiron the score being to O. The game was characterized by fierce line plunging on both sides for small gains. and unfortunate fumbling on the part Of Mississippi. which lost her many yards The game for the most part was in Mississippi's territory and lack of time ly kicking contributed much to Missis- sippis defeat. Few end runs of conse- qrence were made, though Captain Eos ter of Mississippi made one dash of twen- tv-tnree yards around Louisiana's right end that looked like touchdown. Mis- sissipppis forwards put up a fine defen- sive game and broke through Louisiana's line repeatedly, but Louisianas superior team work was effective and finally bat tered down Mississippi for one touch down in the first half.

Long Tailed Fowls.

There is a special breed of fowl in
Japan with tails varying from ten to
twelve feet in length. The breed is
about century old, and the extraor-
binary development of the tail was due
to the action of japanese prince. His
crest was a feather, and he offered an
annual prize to the subject who could
bring the longest feather plucked from
an ordinary fowl. AS result the peo-
pie began to select birds and cross
breed them, and in time the immense
length of twelve feet was attained.
The tail feathers grow at the rate OF
from four to seven inches month and
continue ut this rate for two years.
After that period they Increase very
slightly, although there Is really an
Increase In length so long as the bird
lives, which Is usually eight or ten
years The hens sit on fiat perch all
day and are not allowed to move about.
Once I'm two days they are taken for
walk for half an hour, attended by a
man who holds up the tail SO that the
feather shall not be soiled or injured.
The tail feathers are occasionally
washed. the bird being placed on the
roof of n hut that the feathers may
dry The hens lay about thirty eggs
during the summer and autumn, which
are Matched by other birds.
