Mr. Simian. Kokenutt and the Royal ‘Ethiopian Water-Cure. He is finally escorted to the menagerie by an cx- cited and enthusiastic populace, who shower upon him many tokens of esteem and appreciation. 10, Ina way that calls for the interference of the hotel: boarders, who reason with him on a delicate point of etiquette, pointing out that it is eminently incorrect to eat bath-buns by means of the off-foot while drinking Sautermne. 8, Meanwhile the gentleman from the menagerie, having attired himself in the garments of Mr. Kokenutt, marches out of the bathroom with all the honors, and strikes, by instinct, for'the table d’hote. 11, Thislittle solecism leads to the incarceration of the member from the menagerie in the very cage occupied by the unfortunate Mr. Kokenutt.
