The OnOndagas' White Dog Feast.

Daniel La Fort testified before the legisla-
tive committee recently that the Onondagas
burned no white dog this year, because the
Indian breed had run out. He told me soon
after the feast, which occurred as usual,
minus the dog, that it was sacred breed,
and no Others could be used; and think none
was burned last year. OF course, this is par
TALLY an excuse for letting the custom die
out, as Indian dogs could be procured from
other Iroquois il SO desired The feast has
fallen into decay, though It's observance In
some ways will continue q while longer. The
presumption is that some intelligent Indians
are assisting in its gradual disuse. This
decay has been quite marked in this genera
ton Forty years ago two dogs wsrs
burned; twenty years ago, but ono. but this
was on . blazing pile outside the council
house Five years ago they opened the top
Of the council house stove and dumped the
dead victim into that Now there is no dog
at all The last feast attracted some anti
quarians from a distance who were much
disappointed at the omission-"Hamlet" with
Hamlet left out--but there was no remedy.
The dog had had its day.
It Is customary to call this an ancient feast
and to suppose it identical with the white
dog feast of the Scnecas, which it much TO
sembles. have before now pointed out the
differences, one Of the principal Of which II
the time at which the dog Is killed With
the Senacas this was at the beginning Of tho
principal feast day, and 1t remained hung
up until the fifth, when it WAS taken down
and burned Among the Onondagas the
killing and burning were always on the same
day. The Onondagas had such sacrifice
but once q year; the Senecas, on any i'm
portant occasion, sacrificing several dogs
during Sullivan's invasion in 1919. With
them the custom seems but little over a CEN
fury old, the Onondagas adopting it later,
while the other nations may not have had It
at all. At least it has been described only
in these two, and that but at a late day. The
Onondagas simply added a striking rite to
their earlier dream feast, which had the pe-
riodical observance of the later dog feast.
That they had it from the Senecas seems
reasonable, but whence the latter obtained 1t
is not so clear. 1t may prove a late out
growtl Of earlier customs, dogs flesh having
been always highly esteemed by the Indians.
Unknown, apparently, to the French mis-
stonaries, it is already among the things that
have been. In very short time the other
rites of the feast will disappear, as feasts
themselves have been dropped. | recently
had the good fortune TO he present at the
Onondaga planting feast, which has never
been described. -W. ". Beauchamp in

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1888-09-01

At meeting Of the Berlin Anthropological
society a German officer who has lived on
Gomero Island, one of the Canary group,
described whstling language which is used
by the inhabitants. The language does not
consist Of any arbitrary series of signals or
sounds. 1t is described as ordinary speech
translated into articulate whistling, each
syllable having its own appropriate tone
The Gomero uses both fingers and lips when
whistling, and Lieut. Quedenfelt asserts
that he can carry on conversation
with a neighbor mile off, who
perfectly understands all he is say
ing. The practice is confined to
Gomero Island, and it is quite unknown to
the other islands of the archipelago. The
adoption of the whistling language is said to
be due to the peculiar geographical construc-
tion of Gomero Island. 1t is traversed by
numerous gullies and deep ravines, running
out in all directions from the central plateau
AS they are not bridged they can only be
crossed with great difficulty; hence a man
living within a stones throw Of another in q
straight line has often to go many miles when
he wishes to see and speak to his neighbor
This, 1t is conjectured, led to the adoption Of
whistling as O useful means Of communities
ton, which has gradually assumed the pro-
portions Of true substitute for speech.

Genuine Mocha Coffee.

The following from The journal OF Com
merce may surprise some Of our readers:
''Ths genuine Mocha coffee comes only from
the province OF Yemen, province OF Arabia,
Of which Mocha Is the principal place on the
sea coast No coffee il grown In Mocha
Something over 10, 900 tons Of coffee are an
nually exported from Mocha, but no small
part Of it Is not the product Of Yemen, but
is grown in the East Indies and sent to
Mocha, whence it is reshipped either as re-
ceived or mixed with the Arabian product.
OF tho coffee sold under the name Of Mocha,
both In England and the United States, very
little is grown in Yemen. Some comes from
the East Indies, and other portions come from
Africa, and even from Brazil. A British
writer declares that not a kernel Of the best
Mocha coffee ever gets further west than
Constantinople. All the best grains are
picked out for use nearer home, and only the
pale, shriveled and broken seeds are left to
reach any foreign shore.

Here and There.

There is an apparent extension Of per
cent. in the area Of corn planted.
Cotton is later than usual in every
state.
All the states and territories show an
increase of the area devoted to potatoes.
The hay crop has generally been good
this year.
The congressional agricultural appro.
priations for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1889, amount to 81 ,SS6, 925. The ap-
preparation for the current year exceeds
that for last season by nearly $500. 000
There are S60J,000 for agricultural ex-
pertinent stations, $500, 600 for the bureau
Of animal industry, $l04, 200 for the seed
distribution and S1G0, 900 for experiments
in sorghum sugar making among the
heaviest items.
The Louisiana rice crop is reported to
be fourishing.

Plant the strawberry on perfect level
with the surface of the ground, or little
below, never on ridge or hill. says Mark
w. Johnson, the practical horticulturist
and well known fruit grower, The plant
has a tendency to rise up out of the
ground. He advises planting eighteen
inches apart each way for small patch
For field culture plant in rows three feet
apart and twelve inches apart in the
rows. Following are the distances apart
for planting the various small fruits,
recommended by Mr.. Johnson.
Plant grape vines eight to sixteen feet
apart.
Raspberries should be four feet apart
in mellow soil and protected from the
southwestern sun.
.lsckberries should be planted four feet
apart.
Gooseberries three feet apart.
Currants three feet apart.
Use no fresh manure around the roots
Of vines; apply it on the surface.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
POPULAR SCIENCE NEWS FROM
TRUSTWORTHY SOURCES.

Curious Experiments with Camphor and
the Phenomenon of the Surface Tension
OF Liquids-Toy Boat Propelled by
CamphOr.
II we place piece of camphor upon cleai
surface Of water, says NJ. Devaux, in La
Nature, it will begin TO move about in vari'
Gus directions, without any apparent cause,
and continue this motion for a long while.
By gently blowing upon it, the motion may
be increased; and, singularly enough, the
camphor will move against the current OF
air. being apparently attracted towards its
source. The same phenomenon may be OBJ
served when the camphor is placed upon a
clean surface Of pure mercury, previously
slightly warmed. The particles dart abou,
in most curious manner, resembling the
movements of little tadpoles swimming in
water Gig. Il. II a drop of water or any
greasy substance is added to the water in
which the camphor is moving, ii immedi'
ately stops.

Oil Rockets.

An improved method Of distributing oil on
the waters consists Of rocket to which is at
tached cylinder filled with oil. 1t is said
that the rocket can be fired with accuracy
from the ship. and that when it explodes the
oil is scattered just where it is wanted. Sew
eral interesting experiments have recently
been made between Bremen and New York
In one, says Scientific American, the rocket
was fired to a distance Of l 500 feet and less
distances. By the explosion Of five rockets
at distance Of from 200 to 500 feet from
the ship, q space Of from 800 to 1000 square
feet Of water was covered with oil, and the
waves were at once smoothed. The rocket
was fired 900 feet against gale. The i'm
portance of the invention to deep water
sailors consists in the certainty Of explosion
of the rocket at a sufficient distance to leave
the vessel in calm water during q gale. The
invention is said to have been purchased by
the North German Lloyd.

Pyrethrun for Caterpillars.

Several years Of experience seems to
warrant the statement that pyrethrum.
or, better still. buhach, is most beneficial
for smooth bodied caterpillars, such as
cabbage worms and others like them. On
the woolly caterpillars it has little or no
effect, and is not sure remedy for beetles,
although in confinement there is no trouble
about killing them. When worms are
secreted in the leaves. or in any difficult
place to reach by spray, the powder, If
strongly applied with a bellows. will
usually reach them by floating among the
leaves. Pyrethrum loses it's strength by
exposure to the air. Buhach is preferable
to 1t when it can be obtained.

Weeyu In Grain.

Weevil may be almost II not wholly
prevented by thorough cleanliness Of the
premises where the grain Is stored and by
occasionally stirring 1t and exposing it to
the light. When possible avoid storing
grain In bins that have been infested.
When it Is inconvenient to change tho
place Of storage, fumigate the granary
thoroughly with burning sulphur. or use
hot water in places where it can be ap.
piled. until the pests are destroyed. II
such bins must be used. stir the wheat
occasionally and expose it to the light.
For places where fumigation or hot water
cannot be used. dissolve half pound
of insect powder in alcohol and stir
it into six gallons Of water, and apply
In fine spray. No danger need be appre-
hended, as it is not poisonous, except to
insects.

Saving Seed Corn.

The safest way Of caring for seed corn
is to be sure that it is thoroughly dried in
the fall. Then store it in dry place In
temperature above freezing during
winter and out Of reach Of mice. Wooden
frames covered with wire netting and
hung in an attic or other place kept warm
by chimney is one good plan.

Disestibility Of Corn Fodder.

Experiments at the Pennsylvania Agri.
cultural Experiment station. Professor
Armsby. director, on the digestibility Of
corn fodder, that is, the stalks Of field
corn after the ears are removed, showed
that taking the whole growth, ears and
all, the stalks alone contained 81 per cent.
of the total digestible matter The prac-
tical meaning Of this is that the farmer
who grows field of corn, husks it on the
hill and lets the stalks go to waste, leaves
over 81 per cent. of the food value of his
crop in the field and contents himself
with only Go per cent. Of its whole value.
