not all ceremony. The man completes
the customary rites of burial for his.
wife, that is obligatory upon him under
his customary law; but that he con-
tinues to wear for months and years the
badges OF mourning, that he returns to
the place of her death and to the place
of her burial and sits in silent com
munion, that he refrains from replac-
ing her at great loss OF his comfort,
these things point to the manifestation
of something akin to personal sorrow.
The widow Is under like compulsion OF
her customary law to demand the
l,virate, yet she may wear the marks
Of mourning for long years as symbol
OF the grief which postpones her as
sumption of the new community life
which Is hers Of right. Toward the
children parents display an attitude OF
happy liberation: the children are never
reproved, they are allowed, in fact they
are encouraged. to grow up completely
spoiled during the few years allotted
them before they pass into tribal care.
There are numerous instances ON record
where father and mother In this be-
nightcd savagery have interposed their
own lives against the blow descending
upon the child; and affection, we are
taught. can go no higher than this.
Above all the intricate details OF the
Australian family this book establishes
one prime fact. We are here at the
basement OF human society, yet life has
completely far beyond aught that we
could now practise or would be willing
to tolerate. The simplicity Of the savage
does not exist; he is under more rigid
regimen than the higher culture, he
cannot be a creature Of whims because
he walks n narrow path between the
pressing terrors OF the unknown, for
folly Is possible only to the wise.

essence of their story so far as il con-

very narrow compass. There Is no
hypocrisy in this authors disclaimer of
the professional historians bays, but
he knows his towns and has evidently
read far and wide in the Copious Ger
man literature on the subject. He has
collected for the adornment of his book
a fine lot Of illustrations in color half

does not conquer all tastes when nc

The psychologist aspect Of such
consolation of the savage man and
his two savage women is hard for us TO
comprehend. We approach the prob
lem with literature of good ST. Valen-
tine and troubadours gayly touching
guitars. Cupid dart and a maiden
heart. and love and dove and all the
lumber Of the rhymlng dictionary. How
far does the Australian family engage
with anything approaching sentiment?
Above this family is the association
of families which constitutes the tribe.
The family life is complicated by the
intricacies of tribal life. We touch upon
the chief OF these intricacies only as
affecting the family. they are the COM
plexity of marriage classes and the
totem. the ordeal initiation OF the boys
into the secret knowledge of the totem.
the exercise of authority by the old
men as the mouthpiece of the totem
spirit At an age not more advanced
than ten years the children are with
drawn from the parental family and
become the charges Of the tribal group
The boys begin their preparation for the
mysteries of manhood, the girls are
taken as wives by the old men. This
results in mismating in every family
group, old men invariably with girl
wives, young men invariably with old
women who have been discarded by
older husbands.
Savage life at hest offers little oppor-
tunty for the play of sentiment: It
would seem that this artificial device
whereby grabbed age must always
mate with youth would remove the last
faint possibility of the introduction of
the affairs Of the heart. Certainly we
see no fondings, none ~ tho little inti-
macics whereby affection finds and

Home Life OF % savage.

Several conditions have operated to
make the continent of Australia the
best theatre for the study Of primitive
humanity. 1t lies so remote as practi-
cally to preclude all possibility OF con-
tamination since the subsistence Of the
great tertiary continents. Its own area
is so great in relation to the support
which 1t may afford to human life that
intermlnglng of possibly diverse races
has been prevented The same unprO-
ductivencSs OF the soil has operated
to prevent the massing of communities
which might wage wars of eXtermina-
ton against other communities. The
social life Of the Australians, indiffer-
emily designated by English settlers as
aborignals or blackfcllows. has been
subjected to systematic study by DR..

For purposes Of investigation II is
postulated that in proportion as man
kind appr1ximates the culture plane of
the brute beasts just so much closer
are we brought to the comprehension of
the origin of human institutions. There
are not many races yet surviving which
may properly be classed as primitives.
Some are rccogniZably contaminated by
inclusion within society of higher Gull
ture which has had a modifying inhu-
ence fatal to the clear study of social
conditions. OF such are the Bosjesmen
of South Africa; the overlap Of Hotten-
tot and Bantu has destroyed their value
in cultural study. The pygmies Of the
Aruw1mi forest, bewilderingly OF kin
with the Bosjcsmen. seem to be uumixcd
primitives and therefore interesting
objects of study, but they have been
SO hunted 10y stouter neighbors that
they are almost unapproachable in the
recesses of the forest and II is feared
that before they can be examined systc-
matically they will have been eXtcrmi-
mated or contaminated by various
admixtures. In the present stage
of our acquaintance with these
shy dwarfs they are regarded as
the last unmiXed survivors Of the pre-
historic man II Europe whom now We
know only through such remains as the
skulls of Ncanderthal, ro-Magnon,
Spy and the British remains at
Piltdown not yet satisfactorily coord-
mated. In Jnsulinde We find dwarfish
races as inclusions within Malayan or
even earlier culture, 1t is peculiarly
unfortunate that contamination has
been at work upon the Aeta of the
Philippines. the dwarfs of inner New
Guinea, the Alfuro OF several islands
