Humming Birds as Pets

OF all the birds, the humming birds,
especially when young, seem to dis
play the least fear, says writer in
Country Life in America.
It is a difficult matter to train a
young canary bird to follow one about
the house or to come when called, yet
we have had several humming birds
which were perfectly domesticated
and more thoroughly tame than any
bird have ever seen.
Two humming birds that grew up
with us were given small place in a
closet in our sleeping apartment. At
the first approach of daylight they
would fly out into the room, the door
being left ajar and directly to the bed,
lowering over my face, their loud hum
ming noise awakening me at once.
There was no mistaking that the
birds wished their breakfast, and they
could not be driven away. At times
| would pretend not to see them, and
they would hover oyer my eyes, so
near that the wind from the rapidly
moving wings was quite sufficient to
arouse me.
When l held out my finger, one or
both would alight upon it and gaze

Gods Angels in Disguise

And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around me.
To bid me good might and be kissed,
On, the little white arms that encircle
My neck in their tender embrace,
On the smiles that are haloes Of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone l sit dreaming,
OF my childhood too lovely to last
or JOY that my heart will remember
While it wakes to the pulse of the past
Ere the world and its wickedness made
me
A partner of sorrow and sin.
When the glory of God was about me-
And the glory of gladness within.
All my heart grows as weak as a
woman'S.
And the fountains of feeling will flow.
When l think of the paths steep and

They are angels of God in disguise:
HIS sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
Those truants from home and from

And know now how Jesus could liken

to think they understood the language
of birds when they are hungry.
Their food consisted of sugar and
water which was fed to them with
straw. Immediately upon seeing they
would pOise in the air and lick the
drop on the tip until they were salts
fed.
Occasionally they would poise
before the big red flowers printed on
the curtains. They recognized the
pictures of flowers on sight and en-
deavored to press their bills into
them. Artificial flowers were ap-

In word, these most helpless the
smallest of all birds. required no edu-
cation, no training from parents; it
was all instructive.
The absolute lack of fear was the
most interesting. The birds followed
us about the house, went to their mis-
tress when called, even flew down
from an upper room at call, follow
ing the stairway when an ordinary
bird would have kept close to the cell
