For this purpose I do not need to deal with the dim ages which ethnology just reveals to us with the stone age, and the flint implements, and the refuse-heaps.
"The Borreby skulls belong to the stone period of Denmark, and the people to whom they appertained were probably either contemporaneous with, or later than, the makers of the 'refuse-heaps' of that country.
Out across the refuse-heaps the rest of the camp was huddled together, a squalid collection of huts, uninspiring, unpicturesque. His glance satisfied him. There was not a living soul in view; not a sound except the prattle of the children who were still playing outside the hut. But the latter carried no meaning to him.
"The marked resemblances between the ancient skulls and their modern Australian analogues, however, have a profound interest, when it is recollected that the stone axe is as much the weapon and the implement of the modern as of the ancient savage; that the former turns the bones of the kangaroo and of the emu to the same account as the latter did the bones of the deer and the urus; that the Australian heaps up the shells of devoured shellfish in mounds which represent the "refuse-heaps" or "Kjokkenmodding," of Denmark; and, finally, that, on the other side of Torres Straits, a race akin to the Australians are among the few people who now build their houses on pile-works, like those of the ancient Swiss lakes.
The only animal which they seem to have domesticated was the dog. As there is an entire absence of metallic tools, these refuse-heaps are referred to the Neolithic division of the age of stone, which immediately preceded in Denmark the age of bronze. It appears that a race more advanced in civilisation, armed with weapons of that mixed metal, invaded Scandinavia, and ousted the aborigines.
"You are to come with me now never mind about anything else. I can't bear this, father!" "Well, then, in God's name, I must publish my shame before you, lad if you won't let me be! See now, I'm living with some one with a woman. I met her out on the refuse-heaps, where she was collecting rubbish, just as I was.
He breathed hard, as though summoning up all his decision. Then he spoke. "Say, kiddies," he said firmly. "I'll be right back at supper." And he moved out without another look in their direction, and walked off in the direction of Minky's store. Scipio found an almost deserted camp after floundering his way over the intricate paths amongst the refuse-heaps.
Earthly stars. "And paints terrestrial constellations with varied flowers." Refuse-heaps. Among the Indians, who have the most present cures for every disease of their own nation, there is small regard of compound medicines, and less of foreign drugs, because they neither know them nor can use them, but work wonders even with their own simples.
We skirted high walls, wayside pools, and dripping mill-wheels; then one of the city gates engulfed us, and we were in the waste spaces of intramural Fez, formerly the lines of defense of a rich and perpetually menaced city, now chiefly used for refuse-heaps, open-air fondaks, and dreaming-places for rows of Lazaruses rolled in their cerements in the dust.
I used to go about dreaming of a treasure which I should find out on the refuse-heaps. Ah, I did so want to be able to leave you something! I have been able to do so miserably little for you." "And you say that, who have been father and mother to me?
