A Clever Sell.

A great French natural historian, one of
the leading members of the geological So
ciety of France, was lately taking tour in
Algeria, and had occasion to call on the
officer commanding the garrison there.
Passing through the yard, which, being a
barrack, was naturally crowded with soldiers,
his attention was called to two Zouaves,
who were playing with an animal which to
the learned sayan was perfect novelty.
lie stood and stared; it evidently belonged
to the group Of Rodentia, but to what class
1t was neither the Mussrattas, for it has no
tail; nor the Arvicola amphibius, for that
certainly has no proboscis like that which
the astonished professor saw in the speci-
men before him. lie asked the Zouaye,
".an intelligent soldier" as he afterwards
observed:
"What animal is that p
Monsieur, it is our trunked rat"
"You find it here!"
ain the neighborhood, but very rarely.
The natives say that they are dying out,
and the breed will soon be lost"
"YOu will sell that one, perhaps"
"Ah, Monsieur, it belongs to US two.
What would you? 1t is our little amuse-
mcnt. The poor soldier has but few; still
Jean and myself are poor and would part
with OR little playfellow for 400 francs"
The Professor objected to the price
even science may be bodght too dearly
but finally agreed to give $50 frlncs for
the one rat. and 400 francs If in week
they could get him female Of the same
race. IIewas absent for a week, came back;
got his male and female rats, paid his 4OO
francs, christenrd them the class mus ele-
phos, wrute long paper on the discovery
to a scientific body, posted his letter, and
went out to spend the evening with the
wife of the colonel Of Zouaves, who hap
pened to " receive"
As he entered, the Colonel was telling a
story to the evident delight Of the company
The professor joined the circle.
I" Yes, said the Colonel, my fellows are
the sharpest in the whole army. Would
Monsieur le Professeur believe that two Of
them had just sold two common rats fol
400 francs!"
"Monsieur le Colonel is partly wrong
partly right" replied the Professor; i" two
rats, yes common rats, no! They are
unique, and am the lucky purchaser"
Roars Of laughter followed this confes-
sion, and It came out that the Zouaves had
learned from the natives dodge for max
ing those curious creatures. Here is the
receipt: Cut the tail of rat, cut slit
in its nose, stick the tail (it is like budding
u rose) into the skin and plaster it up, and
in week it viii grow there naturally, ies

a fact-so is this story, as the poor professor
knows to his cost. lie dares not 60 to his
society, as there is his "trunked rats; il
he goes down to his club, il is there also.
It will be his social death. He is already
