THE HUMMING BIRD.
Known as Flower to Which God Has
Granted Winqs.

Our continent has monopoly of
humming birds. the gems of the feath-
cred creation. OF these there are said
to be as many as 400 species, most of
which confne themselves to the tropi-
cal regions.
Only eighteen varieties live farther
north than Mexico. 1t is generally
thought that humming birds live upon
honey. This. however. is a mistake.
They do devour some honey. It is true.
but most of their food consists of the
small insects which inhabit certain
flowers.
The little bird is therefore useful as
well as beautiful and has been called
a flower to which God has granted
wings.
Humming birds are so small that
when they are captured for commercial
purposes 1t is impossible to use even
the smallest shot for fear of injuring
their skins. They are therefore stunned
with a drop of water from a bIowgun
or syringe and fall into a net. when
they are quickly poisoned.
Humming birds vary in size from
those half as large as n sparrow to
those about the size of a bee. Their
fight is so swift that they can be well
seen only when poised on a flower

Heroism of a Boy Turned

When the Union troops were maneu'

obliged to protect long lines of rail.
road over which they received their
supplies. The vulnerable points were
the bridges. near which the bluecoats
built blockhouses similar to those used
by our ancestors to defend themselves
against Indians.
One afternoon q force of Confederate
cavalry attacked one of these posts
while the Union troops were mostly
outside the blockhouse. Quickly with
drawing within the wooden walls. the
latter closed the entrance and from
Ioopholes cracked their rifles at the
enemy.
The blockhouse was built on the riv-
err bank at the north entrance of the
bridge, the rear being protected by the
river, running some forty feet below.
A single company commanded by a
captain constituted the bridge guard.
Time and again the southerners as
saulted, and every time they were
driven off. But at last the defenders
saw that within few hours what
powder and ball they had would be
exhausted.
There was boy in the command who
had run away from home and enlisted

the water. and his captain had noticed
