There is a body of and in the South Pacific Ocean, 15 miles~south of New Zealand, known as Stewart Island. This island, with the group of rocky land specks that surround it, is the home of a marvelous migrant; the short-tailed petral, a brownish-black bird about the size of an English It is pepulasty known throughout Australasia as the mutton bird, becanse of a faint resemblance between its cooked flesh and mutton. At certain times of the year the mutton birds are sold in large quan- tities throughout Australia and New Zealand, for they are esteemed a delicacy by many people. The captur® and preparation of the young birds for market form the pro industry of the southern Maoris. It is a wonderful sight to see clouds of birds making for Stewart Island for the nesting season. They come al- of Jhansands dathening the skies Jor several g ive days. The newly. arrived Biflls, which return to the is- lands generally about September 25, never more than a day or so later, spend the first few days after their arrival in fixing up and cleaning out the old nests where they nested last These nests are holes in the ground. When the nests are cleared out the renovated homes are lined with leaves. During the cleaning and nest-making, which is done by 'both male and fe. male, the birds go without food.

He has plenty of force, a hard forced, a grinding force, that demolishes trumpery arguments and specious pretentions with a fierce and even bitter irony. He is very re. seutful of cheap -cateh phrases which are set into circulation for party pur. ses.

About the midde of April the old mutton birds migrate to the north. The young ones follow as soon as they are able to fly. About the end of May thousands of young ones may be seen flapping clumsily round and round the islands learning to fly before em- barking on their first great migration: In a day or so they wing their way strongly northward in the wake of their parents, those that have escap- ed the great annual slaughter, which commences some weeks before this.

A Notorious English Spendthrift, Among the customers at Long's, the tagpous te! in Bond street London, ich has just closed its doors, was the last Marquis of Hastings, the most notorious *of mid-Victorian spend. thrifts. Hastings, according to one who knew him well, "gambled so that not even the Bank of England, backed by the Rothschilds, with the mines of the Transvaal as additiona) supports, could have withstood the strain. Yet even he protested at Long's when charged 2s. 6d. for a whisky and soda. The proprietor declared that this had always been the charge. "About time it was altered, then," retorted the marquis. Just before his death Hastings remarked to a friend, "I've made a pretty hash of my life. About all the good I've done was to bring down the price of whiskey and soda at Long's."'~Lendon Chronicle.

Mr. Allan James Lawrie,' who hse succeeded Mr. Loveland Loveland, K.C., as deputy-ehairman of the Lon- don Quari:r Sessions, is the youngest counsel to be raised to the English Bench, being only thirty-eight years of age. His rppointment came as a surprise to the Bar, for among the likely names mentioned in eonnecfion with the appointment before the pob- lication of the official announcement were those 'of a' Recorder, a Metro- polifin magistrate, a well-known K.C:, and an eminent Treasury counsel. Mr. Lawrie, however, had considerable claim to the position, having acted in the past two years, during the absence of Mr. Loveland Loveland. Mr. Law: rie is noted for the quickness "with which he deals with cases, and the voluble witness, like the man of many convictions, 'receives short shrift at his hands. An Aged Minister. Probably the oldest officiating min- ister of any denomination is Rev, Al fred Brandon, who though he is just past his mninety-fifth birthday, stil! preaches at least once a month in the little ereeper-clad Baptist chupel pear his home in Drayton Gardens, Chelsea. Mr, Brandon has been a minister in Chelsés sixty-four years, and has lived there seventy-two, A ra;uarkable fact concerning Mr. Bran- don is that he has been a cripple | since he was a baby of two, when 4 one of his legs became paralyzed. Another wonderful Baptist minister is Rev. Grey Hazlerigg, who, although ninety-three years of age, is still en. gaged in ministerial work in Leices- | ter, in which town he has lived and worked for a period of sixty-one years.

"he is never fearful of ruffling an audi- ence's temper in just the same way as he was never fearful of ruffling the temper of a huge radical majority which dominated the House of Com. mons in the late Parliament. He will always speak what is in his mind in coldly clear, deliberate outspoken ness: He has all the armory of solid logic at his' command, and has no need to fear am inability to give his views complete and satisfactory ex- pression. His effect upon an audience is very curios. Unless the meeting is at the mercy of organized rowdyism he will erally a quiet hearing, no matter what may be the shade of political opinion owned by the majority of his hearers. They listen rather than cheer, they are intent on following the several channels of argument. He insists that khis hearers shall think, and some of them from loose habits of thought and an intimate acquaintance with orators whose chief asset is an exceptional talent for vague generalizations and windy rhetoric, find the process just as difficult as novel.- But he is al- ways quick to perceive when a point has not been properly assimilated, and he will pause and force it home with all the strength of graphic illustra- tion. He is essentially 8 man of business, a man of affairs, a man of commercial propositions. And his very contemptu- ous disregard for all the arts and erafts of popular posturing 4nd spang- led speech, his reserve, his reticent, his admirably governed and strictly disciplined mental forces are all at- tributes that tend to establish him as a tower of strength in our modern politics. ' He is one of the great guns in the nionist artillery; he carries the heaviest ammunition and he never hesitates«to discharge his shells into that place of battle where the enemy are most deeply entrenched, most strongly flanked, most sturdily dispos- oh is a man of iron in political controversy, a man 'of the highest mental gifts, of the deepest and most perfectly assimilated knowledge. bi Bad Year For Cupid? Is 1911 an unlucky year for lovers? The query is'suggested by the unusual number of society engagements broken during this yéar. In the first three weeks of January five shattered ro- mances were recorded in the social columns. After that the "epidemic waned until September, when it "re. erudesced" with increased virulence. There ' were no fewer than eight of pthose sinister announcements that "the marriage between ---- and -- will not take place," and people are snaking each other what it means. Of course thé matches declared "off" concern families of some social distinction, who do not usually mix themselves up in breach of promise cases, so that the reasons for so much blighting of young lives will never be generally known.
