From time to time Rumerous amas- ing stories have been told of the sagaoity of members of the moukey tribe; but the following secount is so particularly extraordinary that fit, would cause doubt in the minds of the most oredulous were it notrtold on the authority of Mr. W, C. Scully and the Atlantic' Monthly. "The most remarkable instance of simian intelligence that has come un- der my personal observation," says Mr. Bcully, "was that of a baboon that actually did regular duty as a awitchman at an important railway junction at Ultenhage, in the Cape Province, South Africa. The animal was owned by the man who worked the switches, but who had lost both | logs In a rallway accident. Om the platform, In his charge, were six levers, to each of which was given a name, He sat in a little wooden cabin with his understudy, and when a lever required shifting he would call out its name. At once the baboon would swing she lever over. After the baboon had been thoroughly in- structed, it was never known to make & mistake. ; "In the morning it ran its master down to the scene of his work on a little hand-car, which it shifted from the rails and stowed away. Most of the journey to the switch was down- grade, and on reaching the slope the baboon would spring on the vehicle and evince the liveliest satisfaction a8 it skimmed along by gravitation, At night it replaced the car on the rails, and, when its master had taken his seat, pushed him home again. "Occasionally the animal was brought to a certain hotel and induec- ed to act as walter. It would carry & large tray and serve the customers, but it insisted that its own portion should be placed on the tray. On en- tering the room where the guests were assembled it 'would set the tray down on the floor and 'consume its share, then walk with the tray from one guest to amother. If any one at- tempted to help himself from the tray before the baboon had finished its portion, it would become violently en- raged, and scatter the contents in every direction. The remarkable anl- mal died after a lingering illness in- duced by a blow on the back of the head that was inflicted by a drunken mean with an iron bar." Disliked by George III.

King George, to the day of his death never quite forgave the Royal Soclety, a scientific body founded long before he ascended the throne, for seriously offending him by passing a resolution in favor of the pointed lightning conductors in- vented by Benjamin Franklin.

'Then you must resign," stormed the king.

I started to get hungry and was soon eating three. big meals every day, and instead of disagreeing with me, my food began building me up. I continued taking Tanlac and kept gaining weight until now I tip the scales at one hundred and forty- eight pounds--an actual gain of thirty pounds. I can now sleep all night' without once waking up, and in the morning I get out of bed feel- ing great. My strength has been in- creased wonderfully.
