Todas Are Interesting.
The mountains and hills of India
have been the refuge OF aborigines
who fed before the advance of the
Aryans, and In the Todas, as well as
in the more northern tribes of the
Bills. Kols, Ghonds. Santals, and Ma
gas, may be studied the descendants
of those early inhabitants of northern
India. allied to the Dravidians, but OF
Scythian or Mongolian origin. Today,
the Todas number only a little over
thousand. and are said to be steadily
decreasing, which may be partly ac-
counted for by their custom of pO-
lyandry. They have preserved their
traditions to an extraordinary degree
without any written language, and It,
is only to the complex ritual Of their
customs and ceremonies that they
show the least servility. With an alb
solute belief in their own superiority
over the surrounding races, 1t would be
difficult to find people more innately
conservative, but Mr.. w. H. Rivers,
during his mastery study of this most
interesting race. came to the conclu-
sion that they were far from lacking
in intelligence. Their, life is chiefly
concerned with the keeping Of their
buffalo diaries, and In his records Of
their mythology Mr.. Rivers thus trans
lates their own account of Toda ORR
gin:
Behind On's buffaloes there came
out of the earth a man, holding the tail
of the last buffalo, and this was the
first Toda. On took one of the mans
ribs from the right side Of his body
and made a woman. who was the first
Toda woman. The Todas then in
