A CHILD FASCINATING BIRDS.
There is a little girl in Ohio, five years old, who has the power of charming birds at will. Her mother was the first to notice the exercise of this strange power.
The little Girl was playing in the yard where some snowbirds were hopping about. When she spoke to them, they
would come, twittering with glee, and light upon her shoulders.
On her taking them in her hands and stroking them, the birds did not care to get away. They seemed to be highly pleased, and, when let loose, would fly a short distance, and soon return to the child again.
