/ CUNNING or THE HUNMISG BIRD. A
friend has informed me of an instance in
her experience where the humming bird
has shown more cunning than its little
brain would seem capable of manufactnr-
ing. Tire incident occurred in Vineland,
New Jersey In an unused apartment OF
the house where the lady was staying, one
Of the huge spiders common in that region
/ had built its strong web unmolested.
/ Passing into the room one summer day,
she spied ruby throat, which had flown
| in through the viue-clad window, struggl-
ing frantically in the net of Dame Arach-
mid. The more the bird huttered, the
worse were its filmy wings tangled and
| fettered in the spiders meshes; and unless
help had been given, there is little doubt
how the catastrophe would have ended.
The lady hurried to the relief OF the piteous
prisoner. and handling it with the utmost
care. freed it from the coils fastened To Its
feathers and binding its feeble members.
As the bird lay in her palm at the end OF
the operation. it gave two or three gasplng
breaths and was still. Every muscle re
Taxed as in dissolution. The kind hearted
liberator suffered a pang of distress from
the conviction that she had killed the deli
cate creature by too rude touch. Alter
some moments of fruitless mourning, she
laid the limp body down and turned sadly
away. Quicker than thought the little
trickster unfnrled its wings and shot out OF
the window. Had it swooned from fright
in the lady's hand, and recovered with the
change of position or had it actually
feigned death. in order to facilitate escape.
as some larger birds are known to do?-
