MONGOLIAN MEN WAITING FOR THEIR DINNER TO COOK 



The average evening meal of the Mongolian "tenthold" consists of mutton boiled with 

 a kind of millet. When done, the morsels are fished out of the pot with fire-tongs and 

 served in a rude basin or on a board (see also illustration, page 501).
