ResemblanceS. 1T is remarkable fact,
as has been remarked by some philosopll-
ical observer. that every animal, when
dressed in human apparel. resembles
mankind very strikingI in features. For
instance:
Put frock, bonnet and spcctacles on
pig, and il looks like an old woman of
eighty. A bull dressed in an oyercoai
would resemble lawyer. Tie a few
ribbons round cat, put a fan in It's paw.
and boarding school miss is represen-
ted. A ceckerel in uniform is gener-
al to the life. The features Of a tiger
call TO mind those Of sailor. A hedge
hog looks like miser. Dress monkey
il. irock coat. cut off his tail. trim his
whiskers, and you have Broadway
dandy. Donkeys resemble a good ma
ny people.
