The medicine men among the Zunfi Indians perform a feat at the annuali “corn festival” which surpasses the famous mange growing trick of the Hindoo. Many scientists have been present to witness this strange cere mony, but have never bean able to fathom thelnystery ot It In front of the southern opening of the medicine lodge a large square of j clean yellow sand, carefully smoothed* and packed, U 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 chrome yellow for the harvest The middle of the square is left vacant This picture in sand paint ing is a most pleosing specimen of bar baric art. ^ The hour for the ceremony arrives, and at the right moment the medicine man comes fortli from-his lodge and takes a sent in the opening of the lodge, facing the sand squar£. The warriors and chiefs arrange them selves around the square according to rank. The ceremonial pipe is then filled and lighted, and the medicine man blows one puff in egch direction of the compass and two to the heavens. He then makes nn address, going over the post history of the tribe and the kind ness of the Great Spirit and his care. He concludes with a prayer for 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 a grain of coni Into the hole thus made. Carefully smoothing the sand over It, he resumes othln ‘ wat. his 'ritttt, while the assembled chlefsi smoke their pipes In stolid silence. Ifi the Great Spirit condescends to answer the prayer of the medicine man—and< he generally does-^e corn will sprout] and send up a shoot. After au Interval) of fifteen or twenty minutes the sand' seems disturbed at the spot where thei grain of corn was planted, and soon the slender green blades 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 the stalk and ear. have reached full maturity and the ripening begins. Finally the blades, and busies turn yellow and rattle when; the wind shakes 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 watched the plant grow,’ for it is never left alone. With appro priate ceremonies he symbolizes the harvest by stripping the ear from the- 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 lodge.—New York Herald.
