[244] See Sec. 23. Blood of men is sometimes drunk, simply to
assuage thirst, or as a curative (Spencer and Gillen,
_Native Tribes of Central Australia_, pp. 462, 464).

[246] So the dress of the Jewish high priest (Ex. xxviii),
that of the Lamas of Tibet (Abbe Huc, _Travels in Tartary,
Tibet and China_, ii, chap. ii; Rhys Davids, _Buddhism_, p.
250), and costumes in some Christian bodies.

[247] Of the same nature is Jeremy Taylor's view (_An
Apology for authorized and set forms of Liturgy_, Question
1, Sec. 7 ff.) that, as earthly monarchs are not addressed in
the language of everyday familiar intercourse, so it is not
proper that the deity should be approached with other than
choice and dignified words--public prayers should be
carefully worded.

[254] Hollis, _The Nandi_, p. 8 (cf. p. 24).

[255] Hollis (op. cit., p. 6 f.) relates that on a certain
occasion when his party was driven from its wagons by a
swarm of bees, a Nandi man appeared, announced that he was
of the bee totem, and volunteered to restore quiet, which he
did, going stark naked into the swarm. His success was
doubtless due to his knowledge of the habits of bees.

[256] So in the Tsimshian ceremony in eating the first fish
caught (Boas, in _Fifth Report of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science_, vol. lix, p. 51). Cf. the
Jewish rule (Ex. xii, 46), which may have had a similar
origin.

similar provision is mentioned
