KANGAROO as a Food.

Twenty or 80 years ago the back
country squatters, in order to destroy
kangaroos, used to dig huge pits at
the corners of their paddocks, running
yards of calico along their wire fences
and then drive the kangaroos into the
pits, clubbing and shooting them. In
those days kangaroo skins were of no
value; now that they are almost ex.
tinct, there is a great demand for
them. The flesh of young kangaroo
is by no means to be despised, and
kangaroo tail soup is a delicacy now
hardly to be obtained.

CurIous Indian custom.

The following curious custom is re-
corded by J. Owen Dorsey in his
monograph on the sociology of the
Omaha Indians:
I'm the spring when the grass comes
up there is council or tribal assem-
bly, held to which a feast is given by
the head of the Hanga geno. After
they decide that planting time has
come and at command of the Hanga
man a crier is sent through the vii
lagos. He wears robe with hair out
side and cries as he goes. They do,
indeed, say that you will dig the
ground! Hallo!' He carries sacred
corn, which has been shelled and to
each household he gives two or three
grains, which are mixed with the seed
corn of the household"
After this it is lawful for the peo-
pie to dig up the soil and plant their
crops.
