There is a special breed of fowl in
Japan with tails varying from ten to
twelve feet in length. The breed is
about 4 century old, and the cXtraor-
binary development of the tail was due
to the action of Il 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 a result the peo-
pie began to select birds and cross
breed them, ana in time the immense
length of twelve feet was attained.
The tail feathers grow at the rate of
from four to seven inches a month and
continue at 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 in two days they are taken for a
walk for half an hour, attended by a
man who holds up the tail so that the
feather shall not be soilcd or injured
The tail feathers are occasionally
washed the bird being placed on the
roof of Il hut that the feathers may
dry The hens lay about thirty eggs
during the summer and autumn, which
are Matched by other birds.

pure enthusiasm of the speaker. His
extraordinary memory, copious learn

bined with his ready invention of il

preston often caused him to wander
widely from the starting topic and
sweep with amazing facility over far
distant regions of theory or practice or
even personal "reminiscences. Alas, that

tie officer entertained them so wittily
that they were more alive to the
Freuchmau's drollery than to their
search.
No Struggled goods Of any descrip-
ton We're discovered ON board the
Ocean Queen. and the officers of the
government left Pierre with regret and
the determination to look up the jolly
little FrcucMman the very next time
his ship came in.
y few days after the visit Of the in
spectorS Pierre. with a huge covered
basket on his arm, stepped boldly down
the gJu2plauk across the shipping
yard into the street
lie held one hand carefully on the lid
Of the basket, which was tied down at
each side with heavy Irvine Certainly
his appearance was not calculated to
quiet suspicion and before he had
passed the street policeman touched
him on the shoulder
Excuse me. sir he said. "but
shall have TO look into that basket"
Look into my basket" exclaimed
Pierre in well feigned establishment.
"And for why| he added, holding the
lid down mere firmly.
"Our orders. sir"
"But my cat is in the basket, and she
will get away"
Il must see for myself" replied the
officer Il can't take your word for
anything like that
At this the Frenchman became an
CRY. His eyes smoldered like redhot
Goals
Il tell you" he almost screamed, '1ts
only cat, and she will run away from
me, and | brought her all the way
from la belle France for my mother
3n-law."
81 can't help it if you brought her all
the way from the moon. I've got to see
what's in that basket"
but, | tell you, it's cat. and if
open the basket ever so little she will
run and monsieur knows mothers-in-
law. Not so?" he asked, with a wry
face.
"Comel Unite those cords. I'm bound
to inspect that basket"
With a rueful countenance Pierre
carefully united the strings The Off
Ger reached out his hand to lift the lid.
Careful, carefulr' exclaimed Pierre,

placing a restraining hand on the po-
liceman's sleeve Il don't want to
chase after my cat again. lie bon Dieu
knows | had trouble enough in getting
her as it is" And then he suddenly
let the lid fall away.
Instantly n black cat sprang out and
darting between the policeman's legs
disappeared. Pierre had placed the
basket on the ground in such a way
that when the animal sprang out the
nearest way of escape would be the
shipyard. His calculations We're cor
rect. and when the officer of the law
turned all he saw was Il black tail dis
appearing through the door in the wall
iuclosing the yard.
The Irerchmau's entire vocabulary
&aS then turned loose, and before he

there was no way of satisfying it. The
next day | learned that a residence
had been robbed of quite large sum
in cash and jcwelry by porch climb
or. Officers were scurrying around aft
er clew, but the matter was of no
moment to me.
The next evening. as | walked with
the superior barmaid in the twilight,
having Tipped the landlord another
sovereign to cover prospective loss. |
tried TO make my position plain to her.
and | quite succeeded. Indeed it real
ly surprised me to see how promptly
she grasped the idea of my paternal
position. She was willing to take all
my good advice to heart ana act on it.
and she had not permitted herself to
build any castles because of my mark
ed attentions. If remember Alright
was somewhat disappointed and cha
grincd. but q man who will not swal-
low his own philosophy has no bust
ness to complain.
-Four DAYS more passed l contin-
ued to lie lHttrnal and the haruaid
continued 10 le sensible. Then | went
out one n at 20 spear fish by torch
light. Tho landlord had become 50
rapacious that it was cheaper to go
fishing by torchlight than 10 sit with

been closed did not return until aft
er midnight and once in bed | slept
until s O'Clock the next morning. |
might havc slept an hour longer had
not constable aroused me and placed
me under arrest. \ dapper young man
had been seized as he was making off
with plumber and after escaping from
the officer had been trailcd 20 the Oak
and Ivy. While the hatilcd conStables
were arousiug the landlord and tum-
bling over each other the fugitive had
somehow got clear of the house, but
had left surprising clcWS behind. The
barmaid, the superior barmaid. was
missing. and her female garments. or at
least most of them had been left be-
hind. together with articles of apparel
never worn save by the male sex. In
fact, after several hours of study and
investigation the constablcs had de-
cidcd that Ethel" was young man in
disguise. If not. she had assumed a
full suit of male attire ut night as she
stole forth to plumber. In her haste
enough of that plumber had been left
behind to convict her.
Was it not perfectly natural that my
patcrnal and platonic attitude toward
the girl, or boy. should cause me TO be
suspected of being her pal? OF course
it was, and was in Jail for ten days
and in the clutches of the law for a
month before | cleared myself of the
impUtation Even then there were peo-
pie who darkly limited that had bribed
the judge and bought up the jury and
that | ought to have received five
years dose ut the very least. AS to the
superior barmaid, was she a male or
female? Do not ask me. | pressed her
lips held her hand and strokcd her
hair as we Sauntered in the dusk of
evening, all in paternal way, and
when | reflect that she might have
been young man instead the situation
is not to my liking. When | was at
last through with the case, | voted
myself a fool. and perhaps it is best
that | make no change of opinion on
that score.
