Traits of Turkish Nomnds.

The Yuruks assert that human souls
return into the bodies of animals and
that the spirits of the latter take also
human form and appear at deter
mined eDochs. This is certainly the
reason why they are SO kind to ami
mails. A Yuruk loves his horse as
much as his family. The horses have
their place under the tent, and it is
not uncommon to see them warmly
wrapped in magnificent robe when
the Yuruk and his children are coy
cred with rags.
Some ether customs attest also pa
gan origin. In the orient everybody
knows that the Yuruks worship GER
tain trees and rocks. These facts Yield
sufficient evidence that monotheism is
by no means the essential dogma Of
their religion.
