Cajuns of Louisiana
Fond of Old Customs

The Cajun of southwestern LOuisi-
ana has his own particular customs,
some of them handed down by his
Nova Scotian ancestors, others Of
more modern invention.
Often in naming his numerous chill
dren, he will stick to single letter.
Thus, in family that has chosen the
letter TO-" the boys may be Odelon,
Oliver, Octave, Divide, Optah, Otis,
Otto; the girls Octavle. Odelia, ophelia,
Odile, Olive, Olita, Olympic, Omeah.
This system, though pleasantly allit-
erative, must result sometimes in con-
fusion.
AS inevitable as his cup Of black
coffee, Is the Cajun's use Of brick
dust. This, pounded small, is scat
tered inside, and especially upon that
shelflike portion of his home which,
however small, he calls gallery. In
Its way 1t Is ornamental, the dull red
Of the dust standing out against the
dark weathered gray Of the implanted
planking behind.
In the better class families the
French proprieties are observed, the
young folk addressing their elders
with the formal you" rather than
the familiar thou" Religious duties
are seldom neglected. Saturday night
balls, which last through until day
break, are ended by the dancers at
tending mass In a body.-Adventur

Testing Gold

To test gold, dig the point Of knife
into 1t, and If 1t powders 1t Is not
gold. Gold Is richly yellow, but to
tell 1t from pyrites when In very mi
mute fecks, turn 1t so that the light
catches 1t from various directions.
Gold will not alter in shade, but pyrlte
does. drop Of nitric acid will cause
Tuning on pyrites, but does not af-
feet gold.
You must pan creek sands and gray
els to find gold. 1t may be near sur
face, but generally the heaviest de-
posits of placer gold are on and close
to bed rock, which may be few feet
or many feet deep. Gold placers are
best found in big bend In a creek,
which allows 1t to be deposited, or on
the upper side of reef or ledge cross
Ing the stream. Sometimes 1t Is a dry
deposit, up where the stream formerly
flowed, and is called bench" placer.
Gold Is worth little more than $40
per troy ounce and is paid for at mints
or shelters at the rate of about that
price after refining-Victor Shaw, In

Tomatoes were probably first grown
in the Sixteenth century in Peru. They
were grown In an ancient time In
Mexico. but they did not become an
economic fruit until about 100 years
ago. Up until that time (1S30) they
were grown for ornament and were
called the love apple. 1t was not I'M
til about 1870 that decided steps were
taken to improve the tomato CONNER
clally. A. w. Livingston, scotsman in
Columbus. Ohio, brought out the old
variety known as Trophy. The toma-
to was grown as early as 1896 in Eng
land, mostly In hothouses, and as early
as 1872 In Italy.

Fairy Tale /
Offers OUT OF DOORS

Nov, now" said Mother Otter
''we must all pay attention"
Mother MEANS" said one of the
little Offers, that we children must
pay attention to her She doesn't mean
that she must pay attention to what
we say"
THAT is what mothers always mean,
think" said another wise little Otter,
But they could not talk any more
now. Lessons had begun.
First of all there was the lesson of
diving without splashing.
"Of course" said Mother Otter,
"when it is playtime you may dive
and splash all you like. But you must
also know how to dive without splash
ing so you can fool your enemy"
So Mother Otter taught her children
the g-without-splashing lesson,
which is as important a lesson in Otter
school as spelling is in regular
schools.
After they knew their lesson pretty
well for the day Mother Otter taught
them how to catch frogs and how to
get off the frogs skins after they were
caught.
In Otter school that was as impor-
tant as ii is for people to learn how TO
use a fork and how bad it is to eat
with a knife!
The next lesson was in eel eating.
That was just as important a lesson in
Otter school as reading or arithmetic
is in regular schools.
Children, Otter children" said
Mother Otter, "do this right. Eat the
cells from the tail just as the trout
must always be eaten from the head"
Beverly banner. [volume] (Beverly, N.J.) 1877-1964, 1925-02-20

At first they found it as hard to do
as you might find it to get an arithme-
tic sum right. But the lesson had to
be learned.
Mother Otter was a strict teacher.
She didn't allow any fooling.
Then they had lesson in how to
wander far from home and come back
another way so as to deceive their
enemies who might be trying to trace
them home the way they had gone out.
They had busy time with lessons.
and then they took trips and learned
to explore, to find out where the best
rivers and banks were to be found,
and how they could travel and what
they could eat along the way.
They learned not to be too fussy
about their food. 'If you only eat a
few things" said Mother Otter, "and
those few things give out you will
have trouble SO learn to eat many
kinds of food and you will live long
and get strength"
They learned all their lessons well
these smart young Offers, but every
evening when lesson time was over
for Mother Otter was quite strong for
night school-they played.
Such a-scrambling and a-tumbling
and APPLYING and a-scampering and
a-frolic as there was, and Mother OF
ter Joined in their play. too.
She didn't sit off and read and knit
and say:
children, don't make such noise.
You tire my poor head"
No. she was just as fond of playing
with them as she was of teaching
them. And before they went to sleep
Mother Otter sang them the Offers
Bedtime Story-Song which goes like
this to the accompaniment of a splash
ing sound:
Go to sleep, little Offers. my dears,
Drive away all your fears, fears. fears.
I If YOU learn the Offers wise ways,
You'll live for days and days,
And nights and nights and nights. 81
| So drive away your frights.
Go to sleep, little Offers. my dears,
Play when you can, play drives away
| tears:
And playing makes you CHEEKY.
Keeps you from being weary,
| And when all is said and done,
| There's nothing just like fun
