HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THtJRSDAY.'JUNE, 21 1006 A PUZZLING FEAT. Che Wonderful Corm Growla Ma ot the ZnnI Indian. The medicine men among the ZunI Indian perform a feat at the annual "corn festival" which surpasses the famous mango growing trick of th Hindoo. Many scientists bare been present to witness this strange cere mony, but have never been able to fathom the mystery of It. In front of the southern opening of the medicine lodge a large square of clean yellow sand, carefully smoothed and packed, Is spread. With a ceremo nial arrow figures representing the Great Spirit, the earth, sun, sky and rain are drawn. There are also the symbols of the corn and a bountiful harvest. The Indentations made by the arrow are then filled in with pigments, blue for the sky and clouds, black for the earth and chroino yellow for the harvest The middle of the square Is left vacant This picture In sand paint' lng Is a most pleasing specimen of bar barle art. The hour for the ceremony arrives, and at the right moment the medicine man comes forth from his lodge and takes a seat In the opening of the lodge, facing the sand square. The warriors and chiefs arrange them selves around tho square according to rank. The ceremonial pipe is then filled and lighted, and the medicine man blows one puff la each direction of the compass and two to the heavens. lie then make an address, going over the past history of the tribe and the kind ness of the Great Spirit and his care. lie concludes with a prayer for the continuance of this favor. The great moment ha arrived. With Impressive solemnity the medicine man thrusts the sacred arrow Into the sand, withdraws It and places a grain of corn Into the hole thus made. Carefully smoothing the sand over It, he resumes his seat, while the assembled chief smoke their pipe In stolid silence. If the Great Spirit condescends to answer the prayer of the medicine man and be generally does the corn will sprout and send up a shoot. After an Interval of fifteen or twenty niluutes the sand seems disturbed at the spot where the grain of corn was planted, and soon tho slender green blade of the sprout ing 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 tho stalk and ear have reached full maturity and the ripening begins. Finally the blades and husks turn yellow and rattle when the wind (hakes them. All this, we must bear In mind, has been done in thirty-six 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 watcjied the plant grow, for It Is never left alone. With appro priate ceremonies he symbolizes the harvest by stripping the ear from the hunks and placing the corn In his bag for future use. The stalk Is pulled up by tho roots and hung over the door of the lodge, New York Herald. No Holiday. People have different Ideas as to What constitutes a holiday or a voca tion. Mrs. Tettls had her own firmly fixed opinions on the subject. "I don't count Thanksgiving or Christmas or Washington's birthday or any ot those holidays," she said frank ly to an old friend ouo day. "Wliut I count a holiday is when Ezra and Jim and Bob and Llphlet go oft up to the wood lot with their dinner and I know they won't be back till night. "I'm not one to deny that men folks have their good points, but how a wom an can call It a holiday when they're In tho houso calling for food by looks when they aren't by words Is lKyond mo!" Youth' Companion. Pood For Squirrel.. Most people who feed the gray squir rels In the big parks fall to realize that It Is no kindness to give these pretty Ilttlo animals such soft shell nuts as almonds, peanuts and chestnuts. Hu man being who do not have to actual ly forage for food naturally enough feel that It 1 thoughtfulness Itself to save the squirrels work. The fact Is, how ever, that a squirrel' teeth grow bo rapidly that, deprived of their normal use, they might even through their vory uselessnes become long enough to put till charming rodent of tho trees In danger of starvation. Hickory, pecau and hazel nut are the proper food to throw to the squirrels. Brooklyn Life.

If, then, your brother do you an injury, do not take It by the hot bard handle, by rep resenting to yourself all the aggravat ing circumstances of the fact, but look rather on the soft side and extenuate It as much as Is possible by consider ing the nearness of the relation and the Ions friendship and familiarity be tween yon obligations to kindness wblotl a single provocation ought not to dissolve. And thus yon will take th accident by. its manageable handle. Big Apple Crop Outlook. Reports oontinue to come In of the promise of a great apple crop in all Western New York sections, and peo ple are talkins of another 1'. 1 yield. Buyers and others have been through the territory liriuit In luese leporu, all of the same teuor. The bloom was great and the set of fruit heavy. Advices from Woluott says various parties have been making thorough tours of the snide sections lu auto mobiles, and have hq accurate idea of present conditions. (1. 11. Nortbiup and a Williamson party made an ex tensive trip through the Western New York sections. They reported that everywhere they went they found big bloom on the trees, lu some places fuller than in Wayne county, where the outlook is for a great crop. The blossoms had the best of weather and climatio oouditious during fertilizs tion. It is not thought tbe bloseomt were hurt to any extent, eithet by tbe frost or two weeks ago, or the nenry rain which followed. Ihe Museum were all on the ground three or four days before the rain. Alltioiign n is be lieved that the outlook for tie ciop is nearly if not quite as good as lu tbe spring of 1904. In some orchards Bald a in trees have not bloomed as full as tho tther varieties: but many Wayne oouuty growers usy that their Baldwins iiover blossomed so lull as tnis year, urow ers are ppraviug thoroughly and gen erally, to get all the No. 1 stock pos sible. Not only has the weather been favorable tor the don loruneut ol fruit, but rather unfavorable for fungus. hiul. 1'fo ik . Fruit Trade Jour nal, California Pear Kroner Organic.
