1t is the habit Of man to look down
upon the brute creation as his interiors,

dumb animals think of him perhaps he
would be less pulled up with his own
Importance and superiority.
1t must appear ridiculous to the dog,
for instance, that man should require SO
extensive an equipment of words to ex-
press his wants and emohons-words
that serve rather to hide than to illu-
inmate his thoughts-when the dog with
his limited vocabulary expresses himself
clearly. Surely dog must regard his
bark, capable as it is Of almost endless

sion of thought to mans cumbrous flow
of ambiguity.
Then the swine, which 1.ar is prone
to regard as the living embodiment of
