The appearance of some of the!

smaller varities of migratory birds sueh doves,

awallows, etc., |

a3 npurrow S,

several hundred miles away trom the

nearest land that is by no .means an unusual occurrence on the ocean. | About these little erratic visitors there |

are some Curious and interesting facts

Their appearance isalmost always on lt

at a time, though | have known a con- siderable number, representing, per-| haps, as many different varities to ae- cumulate in the course of the day. Ii | is usually, though not always, in stormy | or unsettled weather,

The first curious fact about these | birds is that they never appear to be | tired out, whereas birds are often meat with near the land with their strength quite exhausted. A curious fact about them is their preternatural tameness where their is no eat or dog on board, and the crew show no disposition to molest them, as exhibited by their apparently seeking ratner than avoid- ing the presence of man.

Another curious fact about them is the recovery of all their native wildness and instinctive avoidance of man’s pre- sence on approaching the land. The first time 1 noticed this fact was with a pair of olive-colored rin g-dove,which, from their remarkable tameness and familiarity, I was led to believe had been bred in a domestic state, and per- haps on ship-board. I kept them in the skylight in the cabin, where they seemed to be quite contented; but on approaching the land they became the wildest of the wild. One of them es- caped and flew away. I succeeded in taking the other into port, where I gave it its liberty. Now, 1 am certain that these birds could not be apprised of the approach to the land through the medium of any of their ordinary senses. This curious circumstance led me to} notice more particularly the conduct of others varities of these little wan- derers upon the ocean so far from their native habitat, and I findthat they nearly all exhibit to a greater or less extent the same curious characteristics. —Geo. W. Grim, in Popular Science Monthly for December.

Au Fait. “What kind of a man is he?” asked a gentleman about a young

society man.

“Oh, he’s mighty popular with the women.

“Is he intelligent?”

“No,oot particularly. You see there's not much demand for intelligence in society.”

**Does he dance?”

“Of course.”

“Knowing what’s going on io theat- ricals, music, &e?”

‘Of course.”

‘‘Au fait in everything 1 persume?”’

“Well, I don’t know whether he owes Fay or not, but | know he owes about every manofmy acquaintance. Who is Fay? I'li look him up and see if he doeen’t owe him, to. I'll bet he does.”
