NODDING “YES”
EFORE a child learns to say “yes”
or “no” he instinctively nods his
head—a haughty, up
and-down—to show that he approves
or a vigorous shaking from
side when the imperious will has been
erossed, Later on, as he seems to
show a preference for this way of ex
pressing himself, It is often necessary
to remind him that he can speak.
Many of us may sympathize with
the man who said to Darwin, “Your
ancestors may have been apes!” but
it cannot be denied that we have many
things in common with the other
species.

the Today the savage will
throw his spear into the footprints of
an enemy whom he wishes to injure,
In southern Europe a good way to
avold the influence of the “evil eye”
is to stick some sharp-pointed instru
ment into the footprints of the person
suspected of possessing that baleful
attribute. The negroes “down South”
say that a “conjurer” can “work a
man mischief” by digging up his foot
prints and “conjuring” over them.
Marian Roalfe Cox, in “An Introduce
tion to Folk-Lore,” speaks of an old
practice among the Germans of “eut.
ting out the piece of turf whereon a
person to be destroyed has stood and
hanging it in the chimney that he may
perish as his footprints dry and
shrivel,”
Primitive man conceived a close re
lation existing between a man and his
footprints. It was like the relation
existing between a man and his
shadow and what was done to the
one reacted upon the other, Thus the
disease-demon (with primitive man
all diseases were evil spirits) in the

of turf trod on by the cow, It naturally
