COURAGEOUS ANIMALS.
The American Fisher and the Ind an
MongOOsc Are Notable
Examples.

In North America one of the largest
of the weasel family is the fisher" a
very large, long-fuIreI polecat, living
mainly by the waterside, and, like
many others of the tribe, very partial
to fish. 1t weighs about 16 pounds, and
its long, richly colored fur is exported
in great quantities to different parts
of Europe, though not often used in
this country. A trapped "fishey" will
attack anyone who comes within reach
of the trap chain, and when free will
beat off any dog of twice its size. But
perhaps the most striking example of
the courage of the smaller species yet
recorded is that shown by small va
riety of jungle cat known as the fishing
cat, which, though no relation to the
Canadian fisher" is quite as coura.
geous. One of these, which was kept in
a menagerie, broke through into the
next cage, and there attacked and killed
a leopard which was three times its
own size.
The Indian mongoose possesses all
the courage of the polecat, together
with amiability and a regulated
mind. 1t turns its pluck and prowcss
to good ends. and we imagine it to
stand at the head of the list of the
smaller animals if quality as well as
quantity is demanded as mark of in.
trepidity. There is no doubt that the
mongoose realizes the deadly nature OF
the cobra's bite. It's intense excite

mongoose has been known to fight just
as bravely against ether foes. One was
seen to attack and drive off large
greyhound which it fancied was hos.

The royalties OF Europe all aspire to
be considered great hunters, and the
courtiers unanimously declare that
they are, although it is ramored that
not one is more than an Indifferent

mania is one of the conceited shots. Re
Gently while hunting in the Carpa-
thians he expressed the desire to kill
bear, and on the very next day,
strange to say, he had the luck to start
up two, one of which he shot. The
attendants started to carry it away, but
Prince Ferdinand was so proud of his
achievement that he insisted on exam
lining the carcass. To his chagrin he
found a ring in the animals nose, and

CRYSTAL LENSES OF THE DEEP

What painters palette ever caught spcb
tints.
The wondrous play of light which gleams
and glints,
The myriad beauties shifting to and fro
In multicolored rays which flood and foy
Where waves their truths kaleiodoscopic
teach.
And laugh aloud or sing along the beach
Soft-tinted lights, which flicker far awav
The shadow pantomimes in green and gray.
The rarest hues in grand exhaustless stores
The mirrored pictures fringing wooded
shores,
The play of surges in resistless sween
And diapasons of the chanting deep.
How deftly weave the elves their nets of
gold
With meshes draped in many a cleaning
fold,
Rare silver webs in wells for naiad charms
And water jewels for their waving arms;
All these clear water-lenses multiply
Until their splendors dazzle mind and eve
The breakers toss oy-jewels high in air,
Rich emeralds, sapphires, pearls and dia-
monds rare.
with orbs of amber set in turquoise blue,
AND emerald ridges tiecked with every hue
That men or angels ever mined or made,
And etched in mist or with pure gold inlad.
Meath crystal waters, too, the glittering
sands
Take forms artistic, as though sculptor's
hands
Had nodded them in countless rare designs
OF curve and carving on exquisite lines:
And over these heavens light with endless
change
Makes shadow pictures wonderful and
strange.
At night far down each star benignly
CLEANS,
Like angel beacon lights beheld in dreams,
And shining shafts wave brightly to and
fro
AS Ger them jeweled currents come and go:
A million affairs crowned with sacred
flames
In that fair city man knows not nor names
Some lights move softly, swiftly, as If
gnomes
We're waving them from coral towers and
domes,
In that strange city of million fires
Which shows far down it's FURNISHED spears
and spires;
And in its glow each fish which Ger it sails
A golden goblin is with jeweled scales.
o wondrous marvels, transformation scenes
In countless changeful hues of grays and
greens.
Flame-tinted glories FURNISHED jewels rare,
The tributes paid by willing earth and air,
To prove that human art a. best is naught
Compared to scenes by God and Nature
wrought.

Stock Is Kept.

Whenever barn has a barn base
ment, as all should have, in thai should
be fixed the winter quarters for the
hogs. AS there is a strong, disagree
able smell from the pigpen, the base
ment should not be where other stock
IS kept, and of course not near tho
house. Not only horses and sheep,
which are dainty in their feeding, but
sven the COW, which is less affected by
foul odors, will refuse to eat food that
has been where the stencil from the
hogpen could get at it. Yet we have
known farmers to allow hogs to run in
the same stable with cattle and horses,
and then wonder why the latter so
pften get 'off their feed" and lose flesh.
The hog alone will thrive under such
circumstances, though even the hog IN
is effort to keep warm will crowd close
around the larger animals to gather
heat from their bodies. In this way the
hog is apt to be stepped upon or kicked.

him. The pigs winter quarters should
be made warm, and also light, havings
wall on the south side with large double
windows in it through which the VIM
ter sunlight may stream. If all tho
other sides are walled tight, and
bunch of chopped straw is put in one
corner, the pigs will make their nest
in that and sleep a night, but in sunny
days they will huddle together where
the sunlight can fall upon them. This
matter of sunlight has much to do with
the healthfulness of breeding sows and
the successful rearing of their filters,

A village artist and sculptor who
lately was commissioned to redecorate
the interior of a small village church,
upon being asked by The irate vicar
why in the world he had represented
the cherubim and the seraphim with

cheeks, replied, with childlike simplici-

both the cherubim and seraphim were
wont to cry continually. - London
