STORY OF THE "Tf'lMPET RAT."
How m Clever FYphpIi Zouave looped aa
1!iibus;i t in? Naturalist.
When t!."! iVoti;!i zouaves v.ere first
in Africa : new sort of r.it uta le its f;p
penninoe there. It v;is culled tho
'"trui'i;; t nit." h.-iviu' ;i Icii prob.is
ois. The :;r:Io of a .specimen by one of
the soldiers to an enthusiastic untural
ist gave ri-i; t an action at law. Saul
the p!;ii;tilT in court:
"ThN .ouavo has cheated me out of
100 francs. lie kuows that I am much
interested in natural sciences. I have
collect!, r.s of fossils, of .shells, of rare
animals. .-f curious plants. Ono i!ay
ho ca!!el upon me and said: 'Sir. I
l ave t. kind of animal which has never
been mentioned by any naturali-r. 1;
is a trumpet rat. and has a trunk like an
eleph.vif s. It is alive and well. If
you wisli to see it you have only t.i
come To my house."
"I w.-us very anxious to behold this
strand.' animal. We arrived at his
house and he showed me in a eajre an
enormous rat, very lively and in good
condition, which really had on its nose
a slender eiereseenee more than an
inch in length. The excrescence was
covered with hair like the body of the
animal, with vertebra) in it. juid (a
most extraordinary tiling) larger at the
summit than at tho base the contrary
to vrhnt it ouht to be In tho usual
course of things. To convince myself
that it not a dupe and a mystitlea
tion I stuck a pin into the trumpet.
The animal cried out and a drop of
blood came from the prick. The ex
periment was conclusive. It was really
a trumpet forming part of the rat.
"I was amazed. I asked this man if
he would sell his rat. lie s;ud yes, an J
I paid hhn fifty francs for it. My
friends and servants all admired it, and
I was enchanted. My rat was a male.
Some one said to me that I ought to
procure a female. I asked the zouave
if he could procure for me a fe
male, and he said he had two.
I saw them and bought one of
them for fifty francs. Some months :
afterward the female had young. I
looked at them and they had no trum
pets. I said to myself, 'They will i
sprout.' I waited one month, two ;
months, six months; every day I
looked at the noses of nir rats, but the
trumpets never appeared. j
"In a house where I go frequently I i
made the acquaintance of an officer
who had served a long time in Africa.
I told him about my trumpet rats and
he laughed as though his sides would
split. When he was calm again he
told me that the trumpet rat was not a
freak of nature, but an invention due
to the leisure moments of the zouaves.
This is how they make them: You take
two rats and fasten their paws firmly
to a board, the nose of one close to tho
end of the tail of the other. Then
with a penknife or a lancet you make
an incision into the nose of the rr.t
which is hindermost an I you graf t the
tail of the first into the no? ; you tie
firmly the muzzle to the tail and you
leave the two rats in this position for
forty-eight hour.
"At the end of that time the union
has taken place and the two parts are
grown together: then you cut tit! the
tail of the r; t which is in front t " the re
quired ler.irth and let him go. but still
keep the other fastened to the board
with his head .. and yon srive him
something to eat. At the end of a fort
night the wound is perfectly healed and
the eye of the most curious invotigator
would not see a trace of the grafting.
This is the way the zouaves make rats
with trutnjets.
On the part of the defendant it was j
urged that he had certainly made up j
the rats an stated, but he affirmed that
he had not sold them to the plaintiff as
being "born" with trumpets. Verdict
for the rouave. Washington Star.

The raee of Scotch speaking people
is passing away, and nut many are left
to tell the story in the rich brogue of
the national tongue. And there was
always a stcry to tell, so that one on
this very subject comes in pat here. A i
youth, who had been educated in Eng
land, returned to his family in Scotland,
and was shown off by admiring friends.
"Is he not charming?'' remarked one
to the young man's sister.
"Oh, yes; but he speaks English
Bow," she answered, in real distress.
An old lady being asked if a person
he had lately seen was "Scotch," an
swered with much bitterness:
"I canna say. Ye a' speak sae gen
teel now that I dirma ken wha's
Scotch." Iietroit Free Press.
Treatment of rrr Patients.
The old fashioned way of treating
fever patients lias died its death along
with its innumerable victims. Once
milk and many other drinks were pro
hibited; also the touching of the
cuticle with wet cloths. Jow milk is
given freely, and a frequent sponging
with soda water lowers the tempera
ture of the patient, refreshing and
strengthening him. Detroit Free Press.
