KINDNESS OF AN OSTRICH.
Intelligent Act of Member of Bird

of Sense,

Rev. R. c. Pearse, of st. Cyprian's
Vicarage, Durham, sends to the Speeta-
tor an account of bird kindness which
he and some friends witnessed lately
in Durb9n, relates the Durham (India1
Spectator.
During an exceptionally heavy trop-
fcal rain, two ducks OF the common
half-bred native and Bombay variety,
got washed in the flood down the Um=
gem river, which foys through the
town gardens. The ducks both got en-
tangled in the barbed wire and wire net
ting which crosses from bank to bank.
One managed, by much Tapping Of
wings. to extrieate itself; the other
seemed. however, to be on the point OF
drowning, when large ostrich staIked
out of the bush and waded into the river,
lifted it bodily out of the water and car
ried it ashore by one wing,
The duck was not badly hurt. but its
reseuer was severely torn on its thigh
muscles hE the barbed wine. The Incl
dent is ali the more remarkable. as the
ostrich, with rare exceptions. buries its
head in the sand during a storm, and
will starye to death sooner than move
