COURAGEOUS ANIMALS.
The American Fisher and the Indian
MOngOOse Are Notable
Examples.

In North America one of the largest
of the weasel family is the fisher a
very large, long-fulred polecat, living
mainly by the waterside, and, like
many others of the tribe, very partial
to fish. 1t weighs about Is 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 fisher" 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
Eext cage. and there attacked and killed
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
lnent is strong evidence of this. But a

as hravcly against other foes One was
