experience was as editor OF the Chau.

had established the custom of heading
with a quotation the column in which
he made brief mention of the news
Of the day. Miss Tarbell followed his
habit and bent her mind to the task
OF supplying suitable quotations. Once
upon a time she set down, as plain as
pen could set It:
1.-THE meek eyed morn appears, moth
er of dews."
Then she went home, pardonably
proud Of knowing her Thomson so
well, and at the head OF the column
next day she read;

To keep a new dog, measure his tall

will cry before night.
A family must never move except In

snuff which he was about to take. An

and had one hand on the animals head,
while holding In the other hand some
bread with which he had been feeding
it. A third was sitting with his eyes
open and his head turned toward the

WHAT ToTEMIsM IS.
Light on an Interesting ana Little
Understood Subject.


Understood Subject.
It is interesting to note that totemism
Is found not only in Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
rhymes of Australia, the Hottentots of
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
dia. Totems are also common among
the Samoans
Broadly the totem is the badge Of
clan or tribe, but 1t signifies a great
deal more than mere political or social
blem, but also family sign; not mere
ly symbol Of nationality, but also
an expression Of religion; not simply
bond of union among primitive peo-
Piles, but also a regulator Of the mar
riage laws and Of other social institu-
TONS A totem has been defined as "a
class Of material objects which saw
age regards with superstltious respect,
believing that there exists between
him and every member of the class an
intimate and special relation"
Among the Ojibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty three differ
ent totems. Nine Of these are quadru-
peds, marking out the wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds, five are fishes and one is the
snake.
Some extraordinary superstitions re-
garding totems prevail in Samoa. Thus
1t is believed that II a turtle man eats
of turtle he Will grow very Ill, and
the voice Of the turtle will be heard In
his inside saying: "He ate me. 1 am
killing him" If a banana man uses
banana leaf for cap he becomes bald.
If butterfly man catches a butterfly
1t strikes him dead. If fowl man
eats fowl dellrium and death results,
and so on, all going to show that the
totem has something Of the quality Of
q fetch as well as the significance Of
a family emblem.
Regarding totemism, 1t Is to be noted
hat the relation Of mutual help and
includes also the totem It
Jelf-that is to say, II man takes
are Of his totem he expects the to-
EN- to return the compliment. II the
otem is a dangerous animal 1t must
lot hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men Of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
heir bodies without hurting them.
There is a snake clan In Australia
which holds to similar belief Among
be crocodile clan Of the Bechuanas II
man is bitten by a crocodile or even
as water splashed on him by one he is
xpelled from the clan as one esteemed
nworthy by the -Housekeeper.
