| Show the noon lunch perhaps the doctor is right wh who 0 says that a great portion of the sickness in this cou country is caused by the unpleasant habit of eating too rapidly it is interesting to watch the average citizen when he goes into a restaurant for his dinner he seem to regard the meal with any degree of fondness but acts as though the eating of it is one of those disagreeable duties which confront a man at every step on the highway of life he attacks the meal savagely and you can hear his knife and fork rattling a fur furlong longaway away he shovels the food into his mouth as a hired man shovels corn into a shelling machine and swallows it without chewing it he pours down a lot of ice water when the meat is consumed with a fanatic endeavor to make it as indigestible as possible and when the last sad rites are over he rushes sto to the cashiers desk and settles with an expression of relief mantling his radiant countenance like a rainbow after a storm the stern

culture the other by comparing isolated phenomena among a great number of tribes while the former yields results of historical interest the second is of prime importance import agee to the student of psychology who investigates the laws of the growth of human thought R andree who has for a long time continued the latter course of studies has collected a series of essays on ethnological parallels most of which have previously been published in various journals one of the most important results of such comparisons is the conclusive evidence that many similar customs must have originated independently in regions far apart among many other phenomena the author traces the occurrence of masks among various peoples and shows that they occur all over the world in america as well as in australia and all parts of the old world it seems that the games in which our children delight are well nigh universal the children of the ancient egyptians played tag they had balls and dolls bodies of dolls were made of wood and might be mistaken for modern fabrics undoubtedly they were dressed by the he egyptian girls as our gals nowadays no enjoy dressing thel their r dolls there were iven even movable ones the hands and feet of which could be moved by means of strings others othera made of painted wood were very imperfect in form and had strings of beads instead of hair in the museum

antiquities dolls made of wood or clay and others of wax and ivory are found dolls houses with lead furniture the saving box with a slit on top tuy toy cows horses and hogs were known to the children of ancient rome borne as they are to our own from tills this evidence it might be supposed that our dolls are descendants of the ancient dolls but it must be remembered i that there is hardly any people that does not have them their use is so general and so natural to the child that even the laws of mohammedanism hamme are disregarded disregarded by the childish desire the koran oran forbids representations of human beings and still the mohammedan child plays with its doll the women of bagdad believe that a doll may eventually come to life and harm barm their children and therefore prevent their use the girls however play with cushions and pieces of wood instead which they nurse and dress in siberia and arctic america ivory dolls clothed in furs of beautiful workmanship are found and in africa the girls play with wooden or clay figures in this way andree traces numerous ethnological phenomena in their distribution among various peoples and shows that the human ejna mind everywhere develops on the same lines and that a migration of inventions must be supposed only in such cases where its existence can be proved by historical facts science |
