Eyaporated Sweet Potatoes.

Few people know how easily sweet
potatoes can be dried, even in the sum-,
and how handy and useful the dried.
potatoes are. At best sweet potatoes
are a troublesome crop to keep, but
when dried OF cured in an evaporatori
they are really no trouble to keep and.
are always at hand for use on the table
at short notice. They should be sliced
and then evaporeted. Then to use;
them they are soaked to restore the;
evaporated moisture and then baked.
in pans as the fresh ones often are.
They are an admirable article for pud-
dings and pies. For this purpose IT.
would be better to grind them into
meal and put up in packages with d.
rections for making puddings. Put
up in this way it ought not to be-
much trouble to create market for
the dried sweet potatoes. 1t an evap-
Grating plant would but undertake the
putting up of the sweet potato meal
in packages the article would sell WELL
Grocerymen are slow to take hold OF;
such products in the crude evaporated
state, but in such packages, with a few!
attractive handbills and 8 lot OF recipes
for making the many delicious prepa-
rations that can be made from sweet
potatoes, a market could soon be made
for a product that eastern North Caro-
lima can supply in limitless quantities.

The Moquis differ from civilized
Americans women are looked
on as owners of all the houses. With
water the indians raise plenty of corn,
with cotton, grapes, peaches and
melons. In commerce they traffic in
fruit, pottery, the skins of animals,
garments, rare and curious stones, the
flesh of wild animals, arrowheads and
weapons Of war.
In June, 1890, the seven Moqui
pueblos of Arizona bad a population
of 1896; the nineteen pueblos of New
Mexico population of S27S-in all q
population of 1924. All are citizens
of the United States. The allotment
of the lands of the Moqui Pueblos
(which, in the case of the Pueblos, can
only be done by themselves), COM
pelling the holders to reside upon
them, would abolish the villages and
pueblos, disperse these Indians and
make them dependents.
According to Special Agent Donald
son, the over description of the
Pueblo villages give one false ideas.
On visiting them after reading books
on the subject one feels disappointed.

sacred corn meal is sprinkled. Then
they thrust an arm into that squirm-
ing mass, grasp q number of snakes
and run at top speed to the four points
of the compass. At the bottom Of the
great mesa table lsnd) where the chief
snake dance is held, about 600 feet
above the plain, they release the un-
harmed serpents. These astounding
rites last from half an hour to an
hour, and end only when the sun has
fallen behind the bald western desert.
Special Agent Scott says that the
speed of the Indians running with the
snakes is 80 great that no man can fol-
low them. During the ceremony the
celebrity of the proceedings evidently
kept the snakes muddled. During the
dance Indians were struck by the rat
tlesnakes and bitten in several places.
They drew back for q moment, but
continued the dance, and no i'll effects
were afterward noted. One Indian
struck in the nose had some difficulty
in shaking the snake off, and he only
did so with his attendants assistance.
1t may interest missionaries to say
that the snake order is spreading
among the Moquis.
The Indians are very tenacious IN
holding to their ancient faith. Their
views on witchcraft almost amount to
a religion. The zunis, in common
with other Indians, are very super
stitious, and have horror of sup
posed witch. A person found guilty
of witchcraft is promptly executed.
The mode of execution is extremely
cruel. If victim escapes, his torturers
never allow him to return to the coun-
try. In 1890 an old woman was charged
with bringing grasshopper plague
into the country. She had no defender.
She was ordered to be hung up. Her
cries were heartrending. A friend cut
her down and she ran away, but was
followed and killed with stone. The
son was hanged beside his mother. His
arms were bound behind his back with
wet rawhide thongs. The sun con-
tracted the rawhide and the lads suf-
ferings were horrible to behold. He
was let down in four hours, and in his
agony he asked for cigarette. Then
he was hung up again and after eight
hours he died-that is, friend was
allowed to kill him with a stone.
When a victims hands are bound be-
hind him and he is hung to q tree by
his hands, the torture equals the tor
ture of the Inquisition.
Sometimes this hanging torture IS
inflicted upon persons from whom in
formation is hoped to be extorted.
Unless the information is obtained the
victim is left to hang for days blister
ing in a tropical sun, until he dies
Water ie refused and the torture ex-
ceeds the bounds of the imagination.

Pueblos of Arizona and the Pueblos of
New Mexico mark the northern line of
the actual Spanish advance from 1910
to 1921, in the basin between the
Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains,
and they were buffer in the struggle
for control of this portion of the
American Continent. After struggle
of $50 years the Spaniard, with his
sword, church and missions, withdrew,
defeated. To-day the Moqui Indians
and Pueblos are almost as the Span
iards left them.
Surrounded by hostile savages and
living amidst scorpions, rattlesnakes
and wild beasts, they went above their
peaceful villages, scaled dizzy heights
and tunneled into canyon walls and
made their homes for times of war
high above the surrounding country.
Their homes are practically forts. In
many respects both their cave-like
dwellings and the wild Titanic land
scape around are suggestive of Circas-
sia and Armenia, where the wilder
tribes live "in dugouts."
From the blistering terraces of the
cliff houses, as Mr.. Donaldson says,
the vast colorless plains ofArizona re-
semble the ocean. Heat waves pass
over them and shadows of clouds give
impression OF distant water. There is
no life. All nature seems dead. At
midday the sun floods the desert with
fire. The heat amounts to terror.
Here is the land of the mirage. Lakes,
rivers, forests, cities and even visions
of ships sailing in faraway seas, allure
and mock the blinded traveller. But
when evening comes all is changed.
The wilderness becomes heaven.

pie mountains. The sky flames with

X WORK of unique interest is
~ Thomas Donaldson's illus
NJ trated report just issued by
the Government on the Moqui
Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. 1t
is large, picturesque volume sent out
as an Extra Census Bulletin. Mr..
Donaldson, expert special agent in
charge of the investigation, a gentle
man of wide experience in Indian
affairs and the author of this graphic
report, has given the subject careful
attention, and presented compre-
hensive and authoritative statement
of the special civilization of these
peculiar tribes, soon to be obscured or
lost in the tide of modern occupation
of their vicinity. The volume also
contains the report of Mrs. E. S Clark,
notes by Mr.. A. M. Stephen, and also
reports of Special Agents Julian Scott,
Henry R. Poore and Peter Moran, who
are artists of reputation. Notes from
the works of Charles F. Lummis and
illustrative from his photographs are
also given. This work will not only
be read with interest in this country,
but it will undoubtedly command wide
reading in Europe.
To white visitors the land of the
Moqui Pueblos of the Southwest is a
desert of desolation-a wilderness OF
waterless plain, mountains, cliffs and
canyons. In the glare of the ghastly
white and yellow clay, cleaning under
blistering sun, the average American
would not give $50 and mule for the
entire country. But for their fanat-
icism and lust for gold it is doubtful if
the early Spanish discoverers would
have explored the region. Mr.. Don
aldson says the desert was terror to
the Spaniards, and to CROSS it was
called the journey of death. The Moqui

The Moqui pueblos of Arizona are
dead looking and dreary, and but for
the bright costumes of the people the
scene would be dismal. Their meth
ods and institutions, however, never
lose interest.
Many of the stories told Of these
people are legends. According to re-
ports of special agents, the much
written about sacred fires of the
Moqui Pueblos and Pueblo Indians
have gone out, if they were ever
lighted, and cannot now be found.
The beautiful legend of the Pueblo
looking from the roof of his house for
the coming of Montezuma with the
rising sun fades upon investigation
into the hungry Indian on the roof
early in the morning, scanning the
horizon for his goats and donkeys. In
some caess the Indians have been
driven to the roof for fresh air. The
adobe huts have no ventilation, and
they are indescribably filthy. Special
Agent Poore saw neither sacred fires,
Montezuma hunters or watchers in the
sixteen pueblos of New Mexico.
The Indians are famous for games
and dances and serpent festivals. AS
''spectacles' the dances are generally
failures. The music is wretched, the
bowling unbearable and the natural
grace of the Indian vanishes when the
dance begins. The camera destroys
all the romance of the dances.
The Indians are experts in handling
rattlesnakes. The snake dance is to
propitiate the water god or snake
deity, whose name is Ba-ho-la-con-gua.
The ceremonies prior to the public
exhibition of the dance occupy eight
days. The priests prepare liquor
which is said to be an infalllble an
tidote for snake bite. When the dance
Eegins and the rattlesnakes nip an In
dian ON the ear, cheek or breast the
antidote renders him poison proof.
Charles F. Lummis describes how
the captain of the snake band kneels
in front of booth, thrusts his arm
behind a curtain, unties sack OF
snakes and draws out big squirming
rattler. This he holds in his teeth,
about six inches back of the snakes
head, and then stands erect. 1.-The
captain of the antelope order steps
forward and puts his left arm around
the snake captains neck, while, with
the snake whip in his right hand, he
smoothes the writhing reptile. The
tro Indians then began the hippety-
hop dance Of the Indians. The next
snake priest draws forth snake from
the booth and is joined by the next
antelope man as his partner; and so
the ceremony goes on, until each OF
the snake men is dancing with deadly
snake in his mouth. The dancers hop
in pairs from the booth to the dance
rock, then north, and circle toward
the booth again. When they reach a
certain point, which completes about
three-quarters of the circle, each
snake man throws his snake, by a
movement of his neck, down to the
rock floor Of the court, and inside the

ring of dancers, and again he dances
on to the booth again for fresh
snake.
The snakes sometimes run to the
crowd, a ticklish affair for those
iammed upon the very brink of the
precipice. An Indian official snatches
the snakes back again, but if they coil
and show fight the antelope men tickle
them with the snake whips until they
uncoil and try to glide away. Then
they seize them with the rapidity of
lightning. Frequently the Indians
have five or six snakes in their hands
at once. The reptiles are as deadly as
ever; not one has had its fangs ex-
tracted.
At last all the Indians rush in @
body to the foot of the dance rock,
and throw their snakes into a horrid
heap of threatening heads and buzzing
tails. I have seen hillock Of rattle
snakes a foot high and four feet
across. For a moment the dancers
leap about the writhing pile, while the
