feet high and Is three feet above the
floor. The roosts are Of by inch
stuff placed on edge and are ten inches
above the platform. The back one Is

the space between the two is sixteen

feet long and thirty inches wide. hing
ed at the top, and open out into the
room and fasten up when not IN use.
Great care was exercised In construct
ing the roosting closets to have them
as near air tight as possible, excepting
what may be admitted through the
cloth curtain.
Even In very severe weather. when
the temperature at night was consider
ably below zero and rose but little
above 1t during the day, with high
winds, the bedding on the floor and the
roosting closets remained dry and free
from offensive odors. The fowls laid
as we'll as their mates In Large
warmed house, their combs were red
and their plumage bright, and they
gave every evidence Of perfect health
and vigor. The birds seemed to enjoy
coming out of the warm sleeping clos
ct down into the cold straw, which
was never damp. but always dry, be-
cause the whole house was open to the
outside air and sun every day. There
were no shut Off corners Of floor or
closet that were damp. No cases OF
cold or snufTles developed among the
fowls.
1t Is customary to have the yards on
the south or sheltered side of poultry
houses to afford protection during late
fall and early spring, when cold winds
are common. With the curtained front
house north yards only are to be used,
1t being believed that the necessity for
getting the fowls as soon as possible
out Of the open front house where they
are really subject TO most Of the out OF
door conditions during the daytime Is
not so great as when they are confined
In closed houses with walls and glass
windows.

THANKSGIVING IN JAPAN.
eYanLees of the Orient" Have a Day

sYanLees of the Orient" Have n Day
of Their own.
Americans have fondly imagined that
Thanksgiving day is an institution pc
culiar to themselves. Not so. The won
derful yankees of the orient" as the
Japanese have been called, are like US
in more ways than one. One OF the re-
semblances lies in the fact that both
countries have Il national thanksgiving.
Perhaps 1t would be more modest to
say that we are like the Japs in this
respect, for they had their Thanksglv-
ing first 1t Is not known just how old
the institution Is with them. but 1t
must date back some centuries. The
day Is celebrated on the 18th Of Octo-
ber, and thus, with them as with us, 1t
IL thank offering for the haryests and
SO occurs in the autumn.
The day opens in japan by the mika-
do going to the shrine before sunrise
and offering thanks and supplicatlons
to God and to the spirits Of his ances-
tors. After the rising sun, which Is ia
pans emblem, comes out over the pic
turesque hilltops OF the island empire
a state banquet Is ordered, and similar
banquets are had all over the kingdom.
The Japs have no turkeys to grace the
occasion, but they have other tooth
some dishes peculiar TO themselves. 1t
is probable that they do not indulge in
gluttony quite as much as we, for they
are an abstemious people. Then the
day, IL not inclement, is spent in parks
and under the trees.
1t Is safe to say, however, that while
the japanese Thanksgiving antedates
ours, nothing was known of 1t by our
Puritan ancestors.

Space Required For Poultry.

There Is great difference Of opinion
as to the best method OF calculating
the number Of fowls poultry house
will accommodate The common meth
cd Of calculation Is based upon hoor
space, the height being considered I'M
material. Houses built on this principle
are low and consequently the least ex-
pensive that can be constructed. An
other method Of calculation IL based
upon the amount of perch room, while
third is based upon the volume or
cubic contents. Various poultrymen
recommend six, eight and ten cubic
feet OF space per fowl.

Thanksgiving. of the Revolution.

There were eight Thanksgiving days
appointed by the Continental congress
for observance sTnong the colonies dur
ing the war for independence. After
the one called for the purpose OF celc'
bratIng the peace treaty, which was
held In 1884, the day was allowed to
lapse until 1880, when Washington
took his seat as president. The Idea In
these early days was to offer thanks on
some special occasion. That our ances-
tors could find eight such occasions
during the dark days Of the Revolution
shows that they were ready TO be
thankful on somewhat slim provoca-
tion. But II also shows that the Rob-
blers shed their blood for the country
as well as the men.
Finger Rings Among the Ancicnts.
The hands Of female mummies found
In the tombs OF Egypt are literally cov-
cred with rings, In many instances
there being from two to six on every
finger. In some cases these ornaments
are composed wholly of gold, but in
others, which probably represent all
that is left of some poor mans wife or
daughter, the rings are brass, glass or
pottery ware. According TO Josephus
and Herodotus, the Chaldeans and Per-
slams and the Babylonlans were all
very fond Of rings and other personal
ornaments.

Fire Panic Avoided in Three New York
 Theaters.

New York, Nov. 3O.-The delicate task of dIsmissing three large holiday matinee audiences to avoid fire panic was accomplished without accident to- day when a fire in a factory at 115 to 12l East Thirteenth street threatened to spread to the heart of the East side amusement district in Fourteenth street between Third and Fourth ave- nues, The audiences at the Dewey theatre, Huber's museum and the Pal ace Music Hall left these houses in perfect order. Patrons of the Acade- my of Music on the north side of Four teenth street were not appraised of the fire and aside from a slight stir crea- ted by the changing bells and shrill whistles of passing fire apparatus were not disturbed in their enjoyment of the performance.
 The fire in the factory building was a stubborn one and was not controlled until damage amounting to more than twenty thousand dollars was done.

PROMINENT CATHOLICS
 ARE EXCONMUHICATED
DRASTIC PUNISHMENT METED OUT BY THE BISHOP OF
 NEBRASKA.

Those Concerned Attended Wedding of
 Congressman Kennedy, Who Has a
 Divorced Wife Living, and Miss
 Pritchatt - Bishop Had Forbidden
 Their GOing-Mrs. Edward Cudahy,
 Wife of the Millionaire Packer, and
 Miss Mae Hamilton, Who Is Worth
 Over a Million, Among Them.
 Omaha, Neb., Nov. SO.-Right Rev. Bishop Richard Scannell. of the Ne braska diocese of the Catholic church, has declared excommunicated ipso fac to all members of the Catholic church who participated in the wedding of Congressman Kennedy and Miss Prit- chatt, Monday. There were a number of prominent Catholics present, includ- ing Mrs. Edward Cudahy, wife of the packing house magnate; Miss Mae Hamilton, whose individual fortune is rated at over a million, was one of the bridesmaids.
 Congressman Kennedy has a di- vorced wife living, and for that reason the bishop issued, last Sunday, a pas toral forbidding all Catholics to partic- ipate in the ceremony. The bishop to- day decared excommunicated all mem- bers of his church who attended the wedding. The ceremony was conduct ed by Dr. E. H. Jenks, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, of which Congressman Kennedy is a prominent member. The bride of Congressman Kennedy, who is a daughter of MT and Mrs. George E. Pritchatt, pror1i- nent members of Omaha society, is a member of the Episcopal church None of the. members of either MT. Kennedys family or his brides family is Catholic. Mr Kennedy's divorced wife is Christian Scientist
 Bishop Scannell to-day talked freely of his action. He said that he would take no steps in the matter, declaring that the Catholics who participated in the wedding ceremony and also those who attended the reception following were equally culpable, and said that they had excommunicated themselves by their action in the face of the warn Ing issued by himself last Sunday.
 The pastoral of Bishop Scannell re- cited the laws of the Catholic church in the matter, and closed with 8 para graph, evidently directed at the Prft-. chatt-Kennedy wedding, at which 1t. had been announced several prominent Catholics would be present and par ttcipate, which explained the reasons for the issuance of the pastoral. It re- cited that any cooperation of Catho- lies in any act known to be unlawful was an act of sin, and that any at- tempt to question it on the grounds of modern usage could not stand, because the law of morals never becomes an- tiquated and that "the divine prohibit tion to put asunder those whom God has joined together is as binding to- day as it was twenty centuries ago."
