JAPANESE LONG-TAILED FOWL 
Or all curious breeds of domestic fowl, none are more remarkable than the Japanese birds, whose 
upper tail-coverts sometimes reach a length of over twenty feet. The feathers are kept wrapped in soft 
paper, and the birds themselves spend a most uninteresting life in a high, narrow box, fed by hand and 
cared for by special attendants.
