HIAWATHA.
So Called to Commemorate Forma-
ton of the Irouuois Confederacy

So Called to Commemorate Forma-
ton of the lroquois Confederacy.
It is a well-known fact that the
tradition of the Iroquois people as
cribes the invention, not of wampum
itself. but of the wampum ''belt'' or
record, to Hiawatha. His name,
Hayunwatha, means ''The Maker of
the Wampum Belt" being derived
from ayunwa (wampum belt) and an
old verb, katha-now, according to
Father Cuoq, rarely used-signify-
ing ito make" When first heard
the tradition-being then of opinion
that the wampum belt<was an an
Gent Indian construction, dating
back to the times of the mound
builders-I formed and expressed
the conclusion that the tradition
had, like many such legends, grown
out of the name. Later inquiries,
however, have led me to believe
that this conclusion was too hastily
formed, and that the name, which
may be briefly rendered ''the
wampum- belt MAKER" was one of
those titles which were not infre-
quently given by the 1roquois to a
member of the tribe to commem-
crate some. notable achievement
which he had effected. It's date
would then as has been said, be
that of the formation of the Iroquois
confederacy. This date was fixed
by the estimates severally made at
the different times by my friend
Hon. L. II. Morgan and myself, in
accordance with the testimony of
the leading Iroquois chiefs, at about
the middle of the fifteenth century,
CT, more precisely, about the year
1889. Other inves tigators, whose
views are entitled to respectful con-
sideration, including Rev. DIR.
Beauchamp and Mr.. J. n. B.
Hewitt, have been inclined to place
the formation of the league at a
later time. But their conclusions
differ considerably. and fail to ac-
count for many important facts

Astronomy Among the Ancients.

The beginnings OF astronomy were
on the tops of towers of Babylon
and the pyramids of Egypt. It is
believed by many writer's that both
classes of structures were erected
for astronomical purposes. As
early as the time of job nearly 2, 600
years before Christ, most of the
stars had been divided into constel-
lations! The writer of Job men
tions Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades
as being familiar. The modern
science dates from the labors Of
Copernicus, Tycho, Brahe and New
ton.

Onions for. the Conpl ,xion.

A German scientist is authority
for the statement that if women
will eat onions they will rid them
selves of nervousness and beautify
their complexions at the same time.
And as antidote to the pungent OBJ
lection which will be promptly
brought forth, -he asserts that a
sprig of parsleyedipped in vinegar
and eaten after the onions at once
removes all evidence OF their con-
sumption.
