In tho lower ond of which wore a

Tho Huh averagod from forty to

Notwithstanding many laughable

At that time the sturgeon was not

In South Africa that look for alt the

to that of a fox. The st ange animal
I called tho aardwolf. and doubllos
dwells In South Africa bocaue. judg
ed by his look, ho would not bo ad
milted In good animal society any
where else.
It 1 said that a (iorman family liv
ing out Went have In thoir possession
a tamo fox with a beautiful bushy
tail, with which the animal has been
trained to dust the parlor furniture
every morning. It would certainly
be a groat saving of tlmo and strength
of many overworked people if dogs
with long tail and cat with soft,
furry sides could be trained to do
similar work.
A treat many years ago, when our
grandfathers wero very young, and
boforo the Hood, there usod to be a
Htrangu-looking animal called the tilyp
todon. He was called a glyptodon
because he had fluted teeth, and per
haps because the people who named
him hadn't heard of tarts. We should
doubtless have called him a tartodon.
because his back in the pictures we
have of him, really resembles a tart
more than any thing else, though It
weighed more than most of tarts do
before they are eaten. The glypto
don also had four feet; and could al
ways tell his hind legs from his front
ones by the singular fact that his
bind feet had five toes each, while
the front feet had to get along on
four. This animal does not exist at
the presont time, and it is just as
well that he doesn't, because ha
could be very disagreeable If he want
ed to, as you can vory well Imagine
