A Great Bear Feast the New Years
Ceremony.

A Great Bear Feast the New Years
Ceremony.
For thousand known years the
Amos have stood still in their civiliz-
alton, following all their primitive
customs and ceremonies generation
after generation and century after
century, practically without change
New Year with them is the day of
their greatest feasting and merry.
making, consisting principally un-
happily, of an extravagant use of an
intoxicating beverage known as saki
or rice beer, which puts the entire
population in helples condition long
before the day is done.
The principal cermony is the great
bear feast, called Omsia, in which a
huge bear Is slain and sacrificed as a
special offering to the god Kamui
who is the guardian and protector of
their homes throughout the year. 1t
is necessary to conciliate this god by
the special donation of bears meat
that their lives may be, free from the
persecution Of the unseen, intangible
spirit demons who seek to do them
harm.
1t is said that the bear for this feast

Aino woman who. became its foster
mother, and in her heart feels toward
1t all the tenderness and love that she
would for her own offspring. AS the
end of the year draws nigh her cruel
and hairy grandfather with unfeigned
Joy, helps nurture and fatten the feast
bear for the coming celebration with
carefully prepared foods.
Alas, it is fearful day for the fos-
ter mother when her entire family
drags her bear son from her arms to
the scene of sacrifice! She tears her
hair and weeps and walls, while the
grandparent, with joyous cries, dances
in front of the party who drags the
beast with heavy ropes to the altar.
The killing of the bear Is done In a
most horrible and brutal manner. Two
fair sized logs are lashed, one above
another. to a standing tree, and ex-
tend horizontally resting upon the
ground. The entire clan takes part
at the death, which Is accomplished
by opening the ends>of the log further
est from the tree like huge jaw, aud
dragging the head and neck of the
helpless beast through the opening,
and then squeezing and strangling
with mighty pressure the life out of
the poor bear.
