# Folk-Lore/Volume 31/Review/Hindu Holidays and Ceremonials

Hindu Holidays.
Hindu Holidays and Ceremonials, with Dissertations on Origin, Folklore and Symbols. By Rai Bahadur B.A. Gupte, F.Z.S. Second Edition revised, Calcutta. Thacker, Spink & Co., 1919.
This book is a creditable attempt to provide a complete account of Hindu festivals, a work which is much wanted. The author is an anthropologist of repute who assisted Sir H. Risley in his work, and he has been aided by his wife who has a thorough ​knowledge of the beliefs and usages of Hindu women, the chief depositaries of the folk tradition. It contains a considerable amount of new and valuable material. The folk-lore now collected is rather disappointing, much of it being confined to tales which describe, in rather a jejune way, the merit acquired by those who have duly performed certain rites, and the misfortunes suffered by those who have neglected them. As is usual with this class of work the folk-lore collected is more acceptable than some of the interpretations suggested by the author. He bases his interpretations largely on astronomical evidence. Thus he explains the cult of Siva and his consort Pārvatī, Nandi, the bull of Siva, the lion attendant of Pārvatī, and even the portly god of luck, Ganesa, by certain signs of the Zodiac. Ganesa, for instance, we are told is derived from “the big body of the Crab or Cancer which stands in heaven just near Siva who, as the male part of the Gemini or Mithun, intervenes between the female part of that sign (Pārvatī) and the zodiacal sign of Cancer or the Crab, or big belly.” This view will probably not be generally accepted by mythologists. But, irrespective of these attempts at the explanation of the origin of festivals and their rites, the book possesses value as the work of a competent observer. In his further researches he will be well advised to leave the question of interpretation to more learned scholars, and to confine himself to the record of actual facts which his knowledge and opportunities for enquiry will enable him to do with success.

# Folk-Lore/Volume 31/Review/Sir Roger de Coverley and other Literary Pieces

Sir James Frazer in these essays, a by-product of a life’s work devoted to more serious studies, shows that he is saturated with the spirit and style of the Augustan period of English literature. As a recent critic has said of Charles Lamb, “his style is not so much an imitation as a reflexion of the older writers: for in spirit he made himself their contemporary.” For all lovers of pure literature the continuation of Sir Roger de Coverley will provide lasting delight, and the sympathetic account of the sad life of William Cowper is equally acceptable. Students of ethnography will specially value his account of the life and work of William Robertson Smith, and the discussion on Australian problems in his paper on Fison and Howitt reprinted from the Twentieth Volume of Folk-Lore.
# Folk-Lore/Volume 31/Review/A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province

A Glossary of the Tribes and Castes of the Punjab and North-West Frontier Province, by H. A. Rose. 3 vols. Lahore, 1911-19. Price 22s.
Mr. Rose, the author of a valuable Census Report of the Panjab in 1901, has now completed his great work on the ethnography of the Province. It professes to be based on the Census Reports of his predecessors, Sir Denil Ibbetson and Sir E. Maclagan, who were in charge of the Census in 1881 and 1891, but he has added ​a large amount of material collected by himself. The first volume is of special interest to students of folklore, as it contains a large mass of novel material in connection with the orthodox and local cults and usages, with a long account of the Saints and practices of the followers of Islām which here, as in other parts of India, has been greatly modified from its original standard by the assimilation of the beliefs of the people. Space does not allow of the consideration of this work in detail, but it will be indispensable to all who are interested in these subjects. A book of the same type by the late Mr. R. V. Russell on the Tribes and Castes of the Central Provinces was judiciously entrusted by the Local Government to a firm of English publishers, and it was issued in an attractive style with useful illustrations. Mr. Rose’s work was left to the mercy of the local Panjab presses, and the result is far from satisfactory. But with this reservation his untiring labours in the collection of facts may be cordially commended.

# Fond of Medals

Extracted from Adventure magazine, 18 June 1921, p. 111. "A Bit about Indians"
FOND OF MEDALS
by H. P.
THE giving of medals to Indians dates back to the coming of the first Spanish missionaries. As early as 1631 Cardinal Richelieu had some big medals struck off for the Canadian aborigines. Thirty years later the British were distributing their first medals among the Virginia Indians. Queen Anne’s likeness on a silver medal was presented to the Five Nations, twenty to each Nation. American-made medals were given by the Quakers, also by Sir William Johnson.
The Northwestern Indians received medals in 1778 in return for their allegiance to the British dining the Revolution. The United States gave three sizes of medals at the close of the 1812 War. The United States also gave medals when peace treaties were signed.
Explorers took a generous supply with them. The different fur companies in this country and Canada also gave medals. Among the western Indians, during the height of the Trans-Mississippi fur trade, some bitterness was occasioned among the tribes because men who were not renowned in war, nor elevated to the office of chief, were selected by the well-meaning but ignorant Washington officials and returned to their tribes laden with medals.
In some instances the genuinely big men of a tribe refused to wear medals when receiving them. The Hudson’s Bay Fur Company’s factors not only gave medals, but utilized crude prints, such as were turned off in England for children. Henry, in his travels, found many Crees in the far North who proudly displayed the prints. Amatory braves wore one showing a jolly tar embracing his sweetheart. Warriors wore the picture of a soldier. And so on.
Not only were these prized for being decorative, but were even more important as big medicine.

# Fong Foo v. United States

Fong Foo v. United States, 369 U.S. 141 (1962), was a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the protection from Double Jeopardy by the federal government. While the protection from double jeopardy did not get incorporated to apply to the state governments until 1969 (see Benton v. Maryland), the Supreme Court ruled that the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution prevented the Federal Government from bringing a defendant to trial twice for the same charge. In this case, the court ruled that despite the error of the District Judge, the 5th Amendment protected the defendants from facing a second trial for the same charge.

Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring.
Were I able to find, as Judge Aldrich did, that the District Court's judgment of acquittal was based solely on the Assistant United States Attorney's alleged misconduct, I would think that a retrial of the petitioners would not be prevented by the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Even assuming that a trial court may have power, in extreme circumstances, to direct a judgment of acquittal, instead of declaring a mistrial, because of a prosecutor's misconduct-a proposition which I seriously doubt-I do not think that such power existed in the circumstances of this case. But since an examination of the record leaves me unable, as it did the majority of the Court of Appeals, to attribute the action of the District Court to this factor alone, I concur in the judgment of reversal.
Mr. Justice CLARK, dissenting.

# Flora's Lexicon/Coltsfoot

OLTSFOOT. Tussilago Farfarus. Class 19, Syngenesia. Order: Superflua. The odd name Coltsfoot was given from the fancied resemblance of the leaves to a colt’s foot, and from the same cause it has been called, Horse-hoof, Foal-foot, and Bull-foot. The Latin name Tussilago Farfarus is from tussis, a cough, from its supposed efficacy in curing such complaints, and farfarus, a Greek term for the White Poplar, the leaves of which it resembles. Tinder is made from the cottony down on the under surface of its leaves, and they are sometimes smoked instead of tobacco.

# Flora's Lexicon/Columbine

OLUMBINE. Aquilegia. Class 13, Polyandria. Order: Monogynia. This graceful flower has long been a favourite inhabitant of the rustic flower border, and is commonly found in the open places of forests, or extensive woods. It has been made the emblem of folly;—why, it is difficult to say.
FOLLY.

# Flora's Lexicon/Convolvulus-1

ONVOLVULUS, or SEA BINDWEED. Calystegia Soldanella. Class 5, Pentandria. Order: Monogynia. Botanists have recently separated this flower from the genus Convolvulus, and name it Calystegia, from two Greek words signifying pretty, and a covering, the calyx of the flower being covered by two leaf-like appendages called bracts.

# Flora's Lexicon/Chrysanthemum

HRYSANTHEMUM, CHINESE. Chrysanthemum Indicum. Class 19, Syngenesia. Order: Superflua. Cheerfulness is the best shield that can be found to lighten the strokes of adversity. This flower, that gives so much cheerfulness to the parterre, when nearly all the other children of Flora have withdrawn their smiles, is presented as the emblem of this enviable disposition, and of the loveliness which it adorns.

# Flora's Lexicon/Clematis

LEMATIS. Clematis Virginiana. Class 13, Potyandria. Order: Heptagynia. This is a climbing shrub of rapid growth, ornamental, and highly fragrant. Its leaves are used by mendicants to produce ulcers, in order to excite commiseration. This infamousartifice is often the cause of real and permanent wounds. This genus embraces no less than thirty species which are distributed over all quarters of the globe. By some writers it is made the emblem of mental beauty; by others, of artifice.

# Flora's Lexicon/Convolvulus, Field

ONVOLVULUS, FIELD. Class 5, Pentandria. Order: Monogynia. This small pink flower rejoices in as many titles as any royal prince, for it is so common and so troublesome, as to have made itself a name in all rural vocabularies; among others, it is known as Weed-bind, Rope-weed, Bell-bind, Bell-wind, With-wind, and Hedgebells.

# Flora's Lexicon/Convolvulus-2

ONVOLVULUS. WHITE BINDWEED. Calystegia Sepium. Class 5, Pentandria. Order: Monogynia. This perennial twiner is a species of convolvulus, and is a very troublesome plant in the cornfield, where it is very commonly found. It is a simple flower; and probably on account of this quality it has been made the emblem of humility.
HUMILITY.

# Flora's Lexicon/China or Indian Pink

HINA, or INDIAN PINK. Dianthus. Class 10, Decandria. Order: Digynia. This gaily painted flower we have taken from the fertile soil of the east to decorate our parterres. Its colours are richer than those of the Sweet William, and it continues in flower for a longer period; but its flowers being placed singly on branching stems, like those of the common pink, they never present that fine mass of colour which the large umbel of the Sweet William exhibits, and they are entirely deficient in that fragrance for which the pink is so much admired.

# Flora's Lexicon/China Aster

HINA ASTER, or STARWORT. Aster Chinensis. Class 19, Syngenesia. Order: Polygaamia Superflua. Europe and America are indebted to the missionary, Father d’Incarville, for this beautiful various-coloured flower; he having first sent it to the “Jardin du Roi,” at Paris, about 1730. At first it produced only simple flowers of one uniform colour; but, by cultivation, they became so doubled and quadrupled in form, and so varied in colour that it now forms one of the principal ornaments of the parterre, from July to November.
The Chinese, who have favoured us with this plant, make admirable use of it in decorating their gardens. To prepare them, they first raise the plants in pots; then, separating the colours, they dispose them with such infinite art as to produce one splendid and harmonious whole. This effect is often increased by planting them near the side of a lake.
The China-aster is made the emblem of variety; and owes its principal charms to a careful culture of the skilful gardener, who has surrounded its golden disks with every colour of the rainbow. So study produces an endless variety in the refinement of the human mind. Though majestic and brilliant, the China-aster is not the imprudent rival of the rose, but succeeds it, and consoles us for its absence.
VARIETY OF CHARMS.

# Flora's Lexicon/Clematis, English

LEMATIS, ENGLISH. Clematis Vitalba. Class 13, Polyandria. Order: Prentagynia. This is called Traveller’s Joy! “I do not know,” says Miss Twamley, “its origin further than that the beauty of the plant is cheering to far travellers, clothing as it does the wayside hedges and banks.” It is, however, a sweet, kindly old-fashioned name.

# Forty Years On

Known as a song, with music by John Farmer
Forty years on, when afar and asunder Parted are those who are singing today, When you look back, and forgetfully wonder What you were like in your work and your play, Then, it may be, there will often come o’er you, Glimpses of notes like the catch of a song – Visions of boyhood shall float them before you, Echoes of dreamland shall bear them along,
Follow up! Follow up! Follow up Follow up! Follow up Till the field ring again and again, With the tramp of the twenty-two men. Follow up! Follow up!
Routs and discomfitures, rushes and rallies, Bases attempted, and rescued, and won, Strife without anger and art without malice, – How will it seem to you, forty years on? Then, you will say, not a feverish minute Strained the weak heart and the wavering knee, Never the battle raged hottest, but in it. Neither the last nor the faintest, were we!
Follow up! etc....
Oh the great days. in the distance enchanted, Days of fresh air, in the rain and the sun, How we rejoiced as we struggled and panted – Hardly believable, forty years on! How we discoursed of them, one with another, Auguring triumph, or balancing fate, Loved the ally with the heart of a brother, Hated the foe with a playing at hate!
Follow up etc.
Forty years on, growing older and older, Shorter in wind, as in memory long, Feeble of foot, and rheumatic of shoulder, What will it help you that once you were strong? God give us bases to guard or beleaguer, Games to play out, whether earnest or fun; Fights for the fearless, and goals for the eager, Twenty, and thirty, and forty years on!
Follow up etc.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
