the head. Accordingly the cap cam e to
be considered the insignia of liberty,
and w hen slaves were given their free­

as an em blem of it.
In Sparta the helots wore a cap of
dogskin, and this w as reckoned a
badge of servitude, but upon gaining
their freedom this w as replaced by a

In New Guinea there is said to be a
venomous bird called the bird of death.
It is about the size of a pigeon, with-ai
