Some tribes of British Central Africa carefully extinguish the fires on the hearths at the beginning of the hoeing season and at harvest; the fires are afterwards rekindled by friction, and the people indulge in dances of various kinds. The Todas of the Neilgheny Hills, in Southern India, annually kindle a sacred new fire by the friction of wood in the month which begins with the October moon.
+914+. That the stars early attracted the attention of man is shown by the fact that constellations are recognized in some lower tribes for example, in the New Hebrides Islands, among the Todas, the Masai, the Nandi, and elsewhere.
A similar reluctance to mention the names of the dead is reported of peoples so widely separated from each other as the Samoyeds of Siberia and the Todas of Southern India; the Mongols of Tartary and the Tuaregs of the Sahara; the Ainos of Japan and the Akamba and Nandi of Eastern Africa; the Tinguianes of the Philippines and the inhabitants of the Nicobar Islands, of Borneo, of Madagascar, and of Tasmania.
Its flesh is eaten; the skeleton, with a portion of the fat, is burned on a turf altar; and the skin, with the head and feet, is hung up. An example of a sacrament of the Egyptian type is furnished by the Todas, a pastoral people of Southern India, who subsist largely upon the milk of their buffaloes.
Along with these we may place the Todas whose theogonic conceptions appear to have been cramped by their buffalo cult, and their mythical material is small and vague. +953+. A somewhat higher stage of mythopoeic development is represented by peoples of Oceania and North America.
La muerte de una hija suya, las quiebras mercantiles que acabaron con su modesta fortuna, la ingratitud de los gobiernos: todas esas nieblas frías que traen consigo sobre la frente del hombre los vientos de la adversidad al doblarle como frágil caña hacia la tierra que ha de recibir sus despojos, quebrantaron su ánimo, debilitaron su físico, y recibiendo en un ataque cerebral el golpe de gracia, rindió el alma al Criador el 23 de octubre de 1851, en Tacubaya.
Among the Todas of Southern India the holy milkman, who acts as priest of the sacred dairy, is subject to a variety of irksome and burdensome restrictions during the whole time of his incumbency, which may last many years. Thus he must live at the sacred dairy and may never visit his home or any ordinary village. He must be celibate; if he is married he must leave his wife.
Por tanto, en las sociedades donde se admite a la mujer a todas las carreras y profesiones de la vida, donde no se escatima a la mujer ninguna fuente de conocimiento debe admitirse necesaria y lógicamente la intervención de la mujer en la vida pública.
The reason why it may not be drunk anthropologists may cast about to discover, but the Todas themselves do not know. All that they know, and are concerned to know, is that things would somehow all go wrong, if any one were foolish enough to commit such a sin. So in the Toda temple, which is a dairy, the Toda priest, who is the dairyman, sets about rendering the sacred products harmless.
BRUNO. Así, yo me vuelvo a mi antesala ... a darle sus garbanzos a la cotorrita ... que si me gusta por algo es porque de todas las del barrio es la única que no picotea el gabacho.
