A PULLING FEAT: u.
The wonderful Core Growing @aSa@
Of tho Zun4 Indians.

rne wonderful Corn Growing 0aSa@
Of the zun4 Indians.
The medicine men among the zun1
Indians perform fear at the annual
"corn festival which surpasses tne
famous mango growing trick OF the
Htndoo. Many scientists have oeen
present to witness this strange cere-
mony, but have never been able 70
fathom the mystery OF it.
In front Of the southern opening o.
the medicine lodge large square OF
clean yellow sand, carefully smootned
and packed, Is spread. With ceremo-
NAL arrow figures representing the
Great Spirit the earth, sun, SKY ana
rain are drawn. There are also the
symbols Of tho corn and bountiful
harvest. The indentatons made by the
arrow are then filed r. with pigments,
blue for the SKY and clouds, black TOR
the earth and chrome yellow for the
harvest. The middle Of the square Ii
left vacant. This picture In sand paint
ing Is most pleasing specimen OF bar
barrie art
The hour for the ceremony arrives,
and At the right moment the medicine
man comes forth from his lodge and
takes seat In the opening Of the
lodge. facing the sand square. The
warriors and chiefs arrange them
selves around the square according to
rank. The ceremonial pipe is then filed
! and lighted, and the medicine man
blows one puff in each direction Of the
compass and two to the heavens. Ee
then makes an address, going over the
past history Of the tribe and the kind
ness of the Great Spirit and his care.
He concludes with prayer fer the
continuance Of this favor.
The great moment has arrived. With
impressive solemnity the medicine man
thrusts the sacred arrow into the sand,
withdraws it and places grain OF corn
into the hole thus made. Carefully
smoothing the sand over 1t, he resumes
ais seat, while the assembled chiefs
smoke their pipes In stolid silence. II
the Great Spirit condescends to answer
the prayer Of the medicine man--and
be generally does-the corr will sproue
and send up shoot. After an nrerva!
OF fifteen or twenty minutes the sand
seems disturbed at the spot where the
grain Of corn was planted, and soon
the slender green blades OF the sprout'
tag corn are seen above the surface.
The plant continues to grow rapidly
and naturally during the day. and by
the next sunrise the silk and tassels
appear. By noon the stalk and ear
have reached full maturity and the
ripening begins. Finally the blades
and husks turn yellow and rattle when
the wind shakes them All this, We
must bear in mind, has been done In
thirty-ax hours. On the morning OF the
second day the corn growing Is COM
plete. The medicine man now ad-
dresses the watchers who IN company
with him have watched the plant grow.
for it is never left alone. With appro.
pirate ceremonies he symbolizes tho
harvest by stripping tee ear from tho
husks and placing the corn In his bag.
FOR future use. The stalk Is pulled up
BY the roots and hung over the door OF
the lodga.-New York Herald.

We regret the effort to provide for
fixing the tax levy after the legislature

Clarendon's delegation was divided,
the Senator and Representative Des-
Champs against leaving the levy to be
fixed after the assessment has been
made, and Representatives Bradham
and Green for it. The consequence is.
those who have increased their prop
ersv hay been eold-bricked unless the
equalization boards save them.
