THE GAREFOWL'S FATE.
Complete Extinction OF the Once Numer-
Gus Great AUX Family.

The great aux has become extinct
within the last fifty years. At any
rate, the general impression of or
nithologists is that the bird has disap-
peared forever, except as specimens
are preserved in museums. Prof New
ton, of Cambridge, England. has in.
dulged the belief that the bird may vet
be found living about the more mac
cessible shores of the North, but the
hope has thus far been disappointed.
The fate of this bird is something
strange when we consider that it be-
longed to a family that is numerous
and hardy. The divers, OF which it
was n variety, live about the cliffs of
northern shores. Their retreats are
rarely visited by man. They have an
abundance of food in the fish of the
sea. They rear their young on the
shelves of the rocks. If they are pur-
sued they easily escape by swimming
and diving. Of all the divers none
seemed more capable Of taking care of
itself than the aux. According to Will
son: Its powers of swimming and div
ing probably exceeded those of any other
species of the feathered race" The
wings of the great aux appear to have
been so short as to bear the character
of paddles, thus resembling the pen
gum, of which it was the northern rep
resentative. 1t laid its solitary egg
about five inches long and three inches
at the greatest breadth-on the bare
rock, without any nest. As it was in
capable of flight, it had to build on the
lower lodges.
A live specimen of the aux was cap
,ured of st. Kilda by the tacksman of
he Island Of Scalpa, and was seen there

DINING ITlNERANCY.

How Southern Gentleman Made q Dulf
Dinner Party Agreeable.
Variety, so they tell us, is the spice
of life. And while each of us has, no
doubt, been in certain conditions that
we think would have been delightful
enough to have lasted forever, yet we
have many times been placed in condi-
tions where the most sudden change,
short of absolute disaster. would have
been most welcome. What is more
stupid than an undressing compan-
ion at dinner?-to be compelled to sit
through course after course with one
in whom you can find no response,
with whom there is no common ground
of meetingp Evidently a Southern
gentleman has found relief from this
state of affairs, if the following inci-
dent is correctly reported:
"After the soup had been served. and
just prior to serving the next course,
the host gave his signal and rose from
his seat, as did every other gentleman
at the table, all the ladies remaining
seated. Each gentleman then moved 20
the next gentlcman's seat to his right.
When this was first DONE the ladies, not
| being let into the secret, were very much
surprised at the unusual conduct of the
| gentlemen, and could not at once COM
prehend the meaning of it; but when
| they gathered its full intent, and the
charm there was in it, it was decidedly
/ ifVin fn fhn tNNot.ytV1ant and
interest with which they received the
innovation. Just prior to the COM
mencement of the next course the host
gave his signal again, and each gentle
man again moved one gentleman's seat
! to his right, and 50 on. The entire set
ting of the courses was so tremendously
arranged that at the close of the din
ner each gentleman had visited. for a
short space, every lady at the table.
and had at last returned to her whom
lie had escorted in to dinner"
There might be conditions under
which this system of itinerancy would
be very embarrassing, if not disastrous.
One would not enjoy having to stop
in the midst of expressing long
cherished sentiment to a most attentive
and sympathetic listener; the forum ate
companion of an entertaining CONVEX
sationalist would not enjoy an Interrupt
ton; the two hearts learning to beat as
one would prefer to gaze into each
other faces. But to the unfortunate two
who are suspended over the middle
! ground Of Indifference or antagonism,
what relief is the hosts signal that
gives liberty! This custom will not be-
come general, but would it not be de-
lightful to the lion of the evening who is
expected to thrill the company by his wit
or wisdom? Would he not welcome
this opportunity? He could then pre-
pare his set phrases and skillfully lead
the conversation into the channels
where his little barks would float with
out the mental effort necessary for q
long voyage in which he must guide
another's freight. - Christian Union

CONVERSATIONAL BORES.
Brainless individuals Who Talk without
Expressing Though hts.

Conversation among persons who are
very intimate should be the best con-
versation, as no one need speak unless
he feels impelled so to do by the stir
ring of thought within; but the in
vetcrate small-talker has lost the power
of distinguishing between the talk that
expresses thoughts and the talk that
merely articulates sounds. His idea of
talking is confined to the practice of
making" conversation; even in argu-
ment he passes much time in repeating
what has been said in slightly different
words; and, when no subject is under
discussion, and when he is not gifted
with high talents, the grotesque articles
to which he is sometimes reduced would
be absurd if they were not so irritating
If he only talked, and said nothing
that insisted on answers, he might
more easily be forgiven; but this is
rarely his way. An irritating small
talker, who. though in reality
neither deaf nor abscnt-minded, eked
out his speech by insisting on having
every thing that was said to him re-
peated twice, sometimes thrice | have
known to repeat his What was that
YOU said?" after he had answered the
remark that had been made, and when
this was pointed out to him he only
smiled the satisfied smile of the small
talker, who thinks his sins merits, and
does not blush to own them. Such a
small talker calls these atrocious de-
linquencies conversational talent, and
because it is sometimes necessary to
speak idly thinks it is good deed to
do so mt all times rather than nlarps
tain wholesome silence. But, indeed,
others beside these obvious criminals
sin in speaking idly.
Small talk has its uses in expressing
indefinite friendliness, though even this
would probably be better expressed by
some inarticulate sound. if we could
only agree on one; but it should never
be forgotten that small talk-or talk Of
no consequences in itself of less
than no value. and that if on all occa-
sions, except those of necessity, we put
our energies to improving our ideas
rather than to uttering words; in short,
if we talked less and thought more, we
and our friends would in all cases be
much the better for it.-LO1,dota Queen.
