A large collection of facts with regard to the menstrual seclusion of women throughout the world will be found in Ploss and Bartels, Das Weib. The pubertal seclusion of girls at Torres Straits has been especially studied by Seligmann, Reports Anthropological Expedition to Torres Straits, vol. v, Ch.

Buttner praised him, and ordered a special book on arithmetic for him all the way from Hamburg. From the parish school Gauss went to the Catherine Gymnasium, although his father doubted whether he could afford the money. Bartels had gone there before him, and they read the higher mathematics. Gauss also devoted much of his time to acquiring the ancient and modern languages.

Bartels, moreover, now that he knew what he was expected to do and had his duty set plain before his methodical feet, advanced along the desired way in a most encouraging manner, and with considerable celerity. So successful was he in his negotiations with Mr. Scheidle that not long afterward he was able to bring Smith the most welcome of tidings.

There would appear to be not only individual, but also racial, differences; there is a remarkable passage in Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra describing the varying behavior of the women of different races in India under the stress of sexual excitement Dravidian women with difficulty attaining erethism, women of the Punjaub fond of being caressed with the tongue, women of Oude with impetuous desire and profuse flow of mucus, etc. and it is highly probable, Ploss and Bartels remark, that these characterizations are founded on exact observations.

'Well met, captain, he said, quietly, in German. 'Where are you bound to this time? 'Bartels! exclaimed Davies, jumping up. The two stooping figures, young and old, beamed at one another like father and son. 'Where have you come from? Have some coffee. How's the Johannes? Was that you that came in last night?

Bergh, in about 16 per cent. cases, found very enlarged nymphæ, the height reached in about 5 per cent. of the cases of enlargement being nearly six centimeters. Ploss and Bartels, in a full discussion: of the "Hottentot apron," come to the conclusion that this condition is perhaps in most cases artificially produced.

'It is too late, he wailed. 'You do not know the Nord See as I do. 'Oh, nonsense, Bartels, it's quite safe. 'Safe! And have I not found you fast on Hohenhörn, in a storm, with your rudder broken? God was good to you then, my son. 'Yes, but it wasn't my f Davies checked himself. 'We're going home. There's nothing in that. Bartels became sadly resigned.

Davies soon returned with his cans and an armful of dark, rye loaves, just in time, for, the liner being through, the flotilla was already beginning to jostle into the lock and Bartels was growing impatient. 'They'll last ten days, he said, as we followed the throng, still clinging like a barnacle to the side of the Johannes.

"Except when he goes to Germany, with him I play pinochle on Tuesdays always." Smith surveyed him, speechless. "To-day is Tuesday," he said at last. And for the next half hour he proceeded to explain to Mr. Bartels exactly what it was that Mr. Scheidle now had a chance to do for his old friend with whom for so many years he had played his nocturnal pinochle on Tuesdays always.

However, you quite naturally objected, and last night I meant to chuck the whole thing up and give you the best time here I could. Then Bartels turned up 'Stop, I put in. 'Did you know he might turn up when you sailed here? 'Yes, said Davies, guiltily. 'I knew he might; and now it's all come out, and you'll come! What a fool I've been!
