Customs IS illustrative Of the Primitive
Theory 81 the Soul. The Romans had
: custom that when a man who had been
reported TO have died abroad returned
home alive, he should enter his house
not by the door, but over the roof. This
custom (which Is still observed IA Persia
owed It's origin 10 certain primitive be-
liefs and customs with regard "a the
dead. The ghost Of an unDuried man
was supposed TO haunt and molest the
living, especially bis relatives Hence
she importance attached to the burial AZ
the dead, and various precautions were
saken that the ghost should not return.
When the body Of dead man could not
ibe found. he was buried Ia effioy, and
this fictitious burial was held 10 be suidi

Of the sight OF hawk and Of the sound
Of It's voice. Swallows, titmice, tomtits
and wrens, after having been confined
from birth, arc capable Of flying success

Five young polecats were found com
fortably imbedded IN dry, withered

mansions for such larder, were forty
frogs and two toads, all alive, but
merely capable Of sprawling 3 little.
On examination the whole number,
toads and all, proved to have been pur-
