Victim--Lady with flowing hair, white dress. Movement--The captain's
sword moves up and down, and the victim's arms go in unison.
V. THE SIAMESE TWINS
Two gentlemen dressed alike in ordinary costume, with a large bone
(attached by wire or string) between them. One arm of each over the
other's neck. Pugnacious expression of countenance.
"The wonderful Siamese Twins compose the next group. These remarkable
brothers lived together in the greatest harmony, though there was
always a bone of contention between them. They were never seen apart,
such was their brotherly fondness. They married young, both being
opposed to a single life. The short one is not quite so tall as his
brother, although their ages are about the same. One of them was born
in the Island of Borneo, the other on the southern extremity of Cape
Cod."
When wound up they begin to fight, continue for a moment and stop
suddenly.
VI. THE CELEBRATED DWARF
BOY WITH RED CLOAK, LONG WHITE WIG, BOWL AND SPOON
"This wonderful child has created some interest in the medical and
scientific world, from the fact that he was thirteen years old when
he was born, and kept on growing older and older until he died, at the
somewhat advanced age of two hundred and ninety-seven, in consequence
of eating too freely of pies and cakes, his favorite food.
