the corn being in perigee, as it were, the

suggested to the corn-cutter that be had

in his smoothest tones inquired of that
gentleman "if he could get the use of a

get a corn operated upon?" "Cer

Change of Time. ' .
The Washington Post of March 25th
has the following description of an old
time Ipdian hut, recently built in that
city by two Passamaquoddy Indians, Joe
Toma. now at Rockland, and' Francis
Lola, of Pleaeant Point, who is still in
Washington. The Indians were em
ployed for this work on recommendation
of Prof. Gatechet. who spent last sum
mer in this section.
The primitive birch-bark wigwam
which has been in course of construction
during the past winter at the Zoological
Park, iB now practically completed, and
is nrobablv the onlv one of the kind in
existence today. It was constructed un
der the supervision of the Bureau of
Etbnoloev. as an attraction for the
visitors to the Zoo. .
This wigwam is of the style used by
the Indians of New England and a part
of New York before the white men came
to this country. The only trace feft of
this style of dwelling is the old pictures
of the first events in the history of the
colonization of America,'' such as the
landing of the Mayflower. It was the
desire of the Bureau of Ethnology to
find out how these wigwams were built
and all about their interior and furnish
ings. A thorough search of the New
England states was made, but failed to
reveal an example of the primitive mode
of living. Finally a very old man was
found who bad been taught to build
these birch-bark wigwams in the old-
fashioned way, and he was employed
with an assistant, to build this one at
the Zoo.
It was constructed by exactly the
same methods used by the aborigines.
The Indian employed belonged to the
Passamaquoddy tribe, but has recently
been living, near Penobscot bay, in the
state of Maine. He was a guide and
trapper. He was carefully instructed
about th manner of performing his
work and has done it well. He told the
officials that the best time to gather
birch bark was' at a certain time in
September, and be began work at that
time.
A JIABVKL OF INGENUITY.
He selected the birch trees in the
forest, from which he would gather the
bark, long before the time for cutting it.
When It was gathered he used a stone
knife and 'only such other tools as were
used by the aborigines. The posts to be
used were cut with stone hatchets and
burned into proper lengths. The roots
which furnished the fiber for sewing,
were dug with ancient tools and split in
a like manner. No hammer, nails, saws,
nor any tools but those in use before the
white men came, were used' in any part
of the construction of the lodge.
The wigwam, as it now stands, will
surprise most of the visitors who see it.
The shape and general appearance of the
Sioux tepees and the mud, stone, and
reed houses of the tribes of Indians out
West are .well known, but this wigwam
is entirely different in many ways. Its
shape reminds one of the cover to the
old "prairie schooners;" It has a small
door cut In front and . an opening-in the
roof to allow the escape of smoke.' The
structure is fifteeen teet long, thirtesn
and a half feet broad and nine feet high
The Indians first drove tall stakes of
arbor vitae into the ground for each side
of the building. These were bent over
at the top in a half circle and tied to
gether with thongs of split ash. Other
poles were driven at both ends of the
building and . then smaller poles were
tied across these after the manner of
slats in a shingle roof. The birch bark
was put on in iarge square pieces and
sewed together with split spruce root
The eewing of these pieces of bark is the
most attractive part of the work, and
was accomplished with a needle made
of bone. There are numbers of different
stitches used, and some of them ap
proach in neatness of design the fancy
needlework done by the ladies of the
present generation.
EVERY DETAIL COMPLETE.
The . bark is turned with the outside
exposed, and renders the wigwam im
pervious to the severest rains. Iuside,
just as you enter, there is a small, square
space divided off by poles laid upon the
ground. Inside of this space the floor
is bare earth and here is the fireplace
directly beneath the opening in the roof.
All around next to the walls little
branches of spruce are spread and this
