GOOD TRAITS OF cHIMPANzEE.

Berlin possesses successor TO the

the shape of Consul ii, OF which the
following account has been published:
Recently Consul II appeared before
4 meeting of the German Psychology
cal Society and was the subject OF
lecture by the eminent psychologist,
Prof Hirschlaff The ape stood on
the platform beside the lecturer, in
smoking Jacket, top hat, black trous-
ars. boots and shirt. Prof. Hirschlaff
gave Consul an excellent character.
He has good manners. is of friendly
disposition and manifests symptoms
of what would be called in human be-
ings a loving nature. He has no OBJ
lection to the vicinity of dogs. cats or
snakes, but is afraid of horses. No
traces are seen in Consul of any spe-
cial liking for women and soldiers.
Like most apes he delights in chill
dren, but evinces an adherence of
dolls. of which he can make nothing
and retires vanquished from their
presence. If Consul is tickled he
sometimes shrieks with laughter.
When punished he acts like a child,
holding his hands before his face. If
discovered at anything he is forbid
den to do he assumes hypocritically
an innocent demeanor which is dis
tinctly human.
He is restless and cannot sit long
in one position. With an excellent
memory. he is yet incapable of ex-
pressing his wants either by gestures
or sounds. He cannot be taught to
whistle, nor does he understand hu-
man speech. All he can comprehend
is the tone of voice or the rhythm
of words; and he cannot be taught to

Pe.ru.na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-
ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results. 1t is perman.
ent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by
removing the cause of catarrh. There
