Marriage Ceremonies Among tho Cainguas'

Marriage Ceremonies Among tho Cainguas.
The only formality which the swain
has to go through to get the hand OF his
promised one is to kill tapir, an act
by which he proves that he will be ca
pable of supporting his prospective fam
lily. The death of tapir under such
conditions is quite an event Tue whole
tribe assemblies at the carcass, and II
scene of gluttony begins that does not
cease till nothing is left but the SKIN
and bones of the great beast. " That is
the only ceremony of marriage, The
Caingua is usually homogeneous, but
polygamy is allowed. Marriages OF rel
atives are carefully avoided. After con-
tinement the young mother has rest
of few days before rosumins her sorv-
lie task. She carries the newborn IN
fart in a scarf or sort Of little hammock
slung over her shoulders. She does not
think of weaving it for year and a
half or two years, while the child has
already been exercised in arms with
miniature bows. Ideas of cleanliness
seem foreign to the women as we'll as
to the men, and it is lucky chance
that will induce them to comb their
magnificent heads CT hair.-Cr. Machon

Indian Antipathy to Fish.

At meeting in Baltimore of the
American Folklore society DR.. Wash
ington Matthews of Washington read a
paper Oh Icthyophobia, which he de-
scribed as an antipathy to fish. This
aversion is especially strong in the Ma
vaio Apache and other Indian tribes of
the far southwest, who will not eat
fish or have anything to do with articles
made in the shape of fish. This taboo"
with the Navajos extends to all things
connected with water. A probable rea-
son why no more children of these
tribes are sent east to be educated, DIR.
Matthews thought, was a fear that they
might be required to overcome this cher
ished taboo" superstition, which is as
firmly rooted as any religion.
A legend to account for this fish ia
boo was given. There was time
when food was scarce, and the mountain
Indians had big powwow with the
river Indians. The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but
live entirely Oh fish, and the mountain
Indians agreed to eat no fish, but live
entirely upon deer. This made food
plenty for both.
In the discussion Of the paper it was
stated that the Zuni Indians will not
eat fish because savage tribes in deser,
lands regard water as sacred because Of
it's scarcity, and this reverence extends
to animal life in water. Several mem
bers thought perhaps this idea conveyed
the true reason for the fish taboo. "

Saviour had risen from the dead and
before He assembled into Heaven He
appeared to his ,disciqles and said.
"As the Father ath:sent me j also
send you," and breathing on them
He said, "Reoeive ye the Holy Ghost
whose sins you shall forgive, they
are forgiven them, whose sins you
shall retain, they are retained"
Now then If II is a question of fact
we are to establish and If 1t be possi-
ble for language to state fact, there
is no chance for dispute about
whether or not Christ gave his disci-
Piles power to forgive sins. The
Saviour says plainly" Receive we the
Holy Ghost whose sins you shall for-
give they are forgiven them whose
sins you shall retain they are retain
ed" If these plain scriptural words
do not mean that Christ gave the
Apostles power to forgive sin, then
tell me what they do mean? Or, il
Christ did intend to give them this
power, what expression could he
make use of to signify that intention
more clearly than the words here
used, "Receive We the Holy Ghost
whose sins you shall forgive they are
forgiven them and whose sins you
shall retain, they are retained" And
the power of forgiving sin so directly
and specifically communicated in
this instance was implicitly granted
In the words Of the pastoral commiss-
ion; "All power is given to Me in
heaven;g go ye therefore, teach all
things whatsoever have command
ed you, and behold, am with you all
days even to the consummation of
the world" st Mathew XXXIII G.
1920 verse. Now then as we have
the Saviour's express declaration
that all power in heaven and on earth
was His we know that the power of
forgiving sin must belong to him,
We find him also exercising that
power in the case of Mary Magdalen.
'Many sins are forgiven thee because
thou hast loved much" We know
to the splendid miracle He wrought
to prove that as man he had the
power Of forgiving sin.
The 9th Chap. of st. Mathew tells
us-one was brought to him sick of
the palsy lying in bed and Jesus
seeing their faith said to the man
sick of the palsy, "Be of good heart,
son, thy sins are forgiven thee" And
the scribe who witnessed it faithful
to the instincts of human reason and
human nature, having never before
heard man lay claim to such a
power said, HE blasphemith," and
Christ seeing what their thoughts
were and wishing by the authority of
His word and His example to settle
this question forever said, "Whether
it is easier to say thy sins are forgiv-
en- thee or to say arise and walk"
But that you may know that the son
of man hath power on earth to for
give sin (then He said to the man
sick of the palsy "Arise, take up thy
bed and go into thy house." And
the multitude seeing it feared and
glorified God that gave such power to
men, ITO be continual

Speaks of Our Reunion. Lancasterians
Know Good Thing When They
See IL And Visit Our City During
The Reunion.
Lancaster Gazette.

Inc reunion OF the IOCn ana SUtn
o. V. l. at Logan is decided sue
cess. Among those in attendance
is q large representation of Fair
field county ex-soldiers and every.
body is enjoying to the fullest ex-
tent the unstinted hospitality of
the good people Of our neighboring
city. The campfire held in the
opera house last night was verit-
able love feast, the old soldiers en-
tering into the spirit of the occasion
with enthusiasm. The two regi.
ments held the campfire together
and the opera house was crowded
to its utmost limits. The exercises
today will be interfered with by
the storm, but the public prayer
meeting at the Methodist church
and the indoor camp-fires and busi-
ness meetings will be held and
successfully 80.
The outdoor exercises will, OF
course, have to be abandoned, but
the joint campfire tonight will
round up the reunion In a blaze OF
glory.
The Fairfield county people are
extravagant in their praise of the
hospitality of the Logan people and
will bear in kindly remembrance
this occasion which all agree has
been one of the grandest in the
history of the regimental organiza-
ton.
The joint reunion of the 18th and
Goth O. V. l. closed last night. The
last campfire was characterized
by the presence of large audience
and several excellent speeches.
Among the speakers was General
George Geoffrey Good Enough
Gage, the man who slew General
Zoilicoffer, or at least who claims
to have done so. IF he did it is
probable that the old rebel General
fell as did tn e ancient Phillistines
at the hands of Sampson, or rather
by the same method employed by
the Sandow of Biblical times. Gen.
eral George was accorded as en-
thusiastic a reception last night as
Carp had the night previous. The
two old warriors are very much
alike. They tell of their daring
deeds now after the lapse of third
of a century, as though they actual.
ly did perform acts of gallantry
during the rebellion. All we know
about General Gage is that he
claims to have killed Zollicoffer
We don't believe it of course-no.

every man in the regiment was

self so far as we can learn. We
mean, of course, that Carp never
shot anybody while he was in the
army. AS he was surgeon of his
regiment we are not sure that nc
deaths lie at his door. He killed
no rebels, however.
Carp and Gage make whole

crowd of which they are part
