A BABY HUMMING BIRD.
Something Like an Ostrich Three
Quarters of an Inch Long.

From tine Christian Register
Perhaps they were not teh very til

that humming birds eat some nectar,
put live principally on the insects that
they capture in the sweet hearts of
flowers.
Now you know what the tiny things
were--two baby humming birds, in
the prettiest, downiest nest that mother
bird ever wove. 1t was about as large
as spool of No. 40 cotton thread,
with sort of recurring roof to shell

the nest been made of cobweb or silk
u could not have been daiptier and yet
1t was SO strong that when an over

large magnifying glass the nestlings
suffered no harm.
But the occupants of this dainty
home were anything but dainty. If
you can draw a picture of an ostrich
three-quarters of an inch long you will
have a likeness of a baby humming
occupying a half of that fractional
inch.
The little things were very satis-
