The Largest Parrot.

A bird, which stands absolutely alone,
without relation in the world, is the
kakopo, or ground parrot, the largest Of
all the parrot tribe, being upward of
two feet in length. 1t has much of the
owl in its appearance and habits. The
small face is very owl-like, and it is the
only parrot which like the owls, has a
facial disk of feathers. 1t is strictly
nocturnal in its habits, and its beauti-
fully.mottled green plumage so per-
fectly harmonizes with the green moses
on which it feeds that if it should be
accidentally surprised outside the hol-
low trees or burrows, in which during
the day 1t secretes itself, ii is impossible
to detect it. A cOlonist told me that ION
one occasion, in the early morning, he
heard the note of the kakopo, and mark
ed the spot. He carefully searched
the ground with his eyes for he was
certain the bird could not have escaped
from the little plot of moss. He stood
watching for half an hour, but could
not detect it, until at length it incau-
tiously winked Its eye. and he found
the bird had been all the while within
two yards of his feet. Even then, he said,
had he taken his eyes off the spot for a
moment, he should have lost trace Of it..
The kakopo, like many other birds of
New-Zealand, has no power of flight /;
but, unlike other tlightless birds, has
fully-developed and well-formed wings,
with good pinion feathers. How should
1t have wings which it cannot use? On
examining the muscles 1t has been
found that, though fully developed,
they are mere masses of fat, without
any strength or power. Here we have

In 1913, a sailor who had Just re-
turned from India, with more money
than he well knew what to do with,
took up his residence at public house
in Chelsea, and spent his time and
money in the following manner: He
walked out before breakfast in the
morning, and the first person he met Of
the laboring class, both men and wo-
men, he hired for the day. He then
brought them to the house, and first
paying them their wages, ordered each
a couple of glasses of shrub and brandy
by way Of whet for breakfast, which
consisted of hot rolls, toast, bread and
butter, tea, coffee, eggs, beefsteak and
brandy. The remainder of the day,
till dinner, he kept them singing,
dancing and drinking. Atone O'Clock,
the sailor had dinner served up, which
consisted of good roast beef, boiled leg
of mutton, plum pudding, and porter.
And after dinner there was plenty of
port wine and other liquors. The wine
was brought by dozen bottles at a
time. This social tar never hired the
same person to be merry a second day,
but had fresh party every morning.
His company each day was limited to
twelve persons, besides the musician.
