A RABBIT DRIVE
A3ONG TkIE PUEBLO INDIANS
OF NEW 31EXICO.
An Annual Event Which is Preceded
Ey Curious Preparations,
Including a "Sacred
Dance."
HE Pueblo Indians of New
T Mexico have an annual rab
bit hunt which, a New York
Post correspondent says, is a
great ev)ut with them. It takes place
with the appearance of the new moon
in September. A sacred dance pre
cedes tha hunt, for with the Pueblo
Indian dancing is a form of worship
as well as an amusement.
The ceremonies of the annual rab
bit drive are conducted by the shaman
(medicine man) of i'ie village. Under
his direction prayer plumes are planted
around the village on the day pre
ceding the hunt. These "prayers"
are sticks, notched at one end, about
a foot in length, with a tuft of feath
ers tied on with a corn shred. Only
feathers of the brightest plumage are
used, as those of the woodpecker,
blie-bird or red-bird. Black feathers
are considered to bring bad luck. The
feathers of a blackbird or of a raven
are of ill omen, and if found in the
possession of .any one he woutd be
taken from the village and beaten to
death as a witch. These "prayers"
are planted at ;ntervals of about fifty
feet in every direction for about a
mile from the village. The distribu
tors of them are first sprinkled by the
shaman with sacred corn meal. The
"prayers" are firE L planted to the east,
and then to the nortb, south and west,
and the myriads of plumes, seen on a
plain, give a picturesque appearance,
something like a field of vari-colored
flowers, or a garden in bloom.
In front of every Pueblo village,
facing- to the east. is a shrine-a four
or five-foot stone structure with two
chambers. The shrine is topped with
a smooth .tone. Into these chambers
and around tha shrine are thrown the
skulls and bones of rabbits killed at
the hunt. At the next annual drive
new bones are placed at the shrine.
Each Indian engaged in the hunt is
supposed to take from the shrine a
charm in the shape of a bone of one
of the rabbits, but in reality he has
carved from stone a fetich resembling
that part of the rabbit which strikes
his fancy This is supposed to give
him luck in the drive. Bundles of
prayer plumes, inclosed in the sacred
comJ.Jxusks, are placed in the shrine,
and when tiie"ecremonial of each In
dian hnnter taking he peculiar char in
has ended, the shrine is elosed until
the next annual drive.
Each hunter places his charm
around his neck, and then they all re
pair to the estufa (church) for their
worship dance. The Indian believes
that this fetich gives him the cunning
and swiftness that the rabbit pos
sesses. After all have squatted upon
the floor, the shaman gives to each a
sacred cigarette, made of native to
bacco, and rolled in corn husk. All
smoke in silence. This is supposed to
blind the red eyes of the rabbit so that
his capture may be asured. When all
have finished the shaman grunts, andL
then pitches a tune in which all join.
Strangly, there are no teno: or so
prano voices among the Pueblo In
dians, and as every man sings iin nearly
the same strain, their mnusicis discor
dant-if it can 1)0 classed as musio.
About sundown, while the hunters
are engaged in the preliminaries, the
alguacil (high sheriff of the village)
goes through the narrow and crooked
streets shouting in a nasal tone that
the hunt will take place the next ir,orn
ing ; that the sham will lead, that
he has selected twenty braves for the
hunt, mentioning their names, and
that the rabbit bunt dance wil! now
begzin -eve rybody must come. What
ever effect the cigaret-te smnoking~ an-l
the sacred singing may have had in
paralyzing the rabbits is certainly dis
pelled by the dliscordant yells of this
town crier.
About dark the squaws build a fire
near the door of the estufa, and then
return to their huts-women not be
ing permitted to enter the sacred es
tufa, nor witness t.he ceremonies. The
medicine man furnishes the spark for
the fire by briskly rubbing together
two sticks. This is considered sacred
fire; if farnished otherwise it would
be a profanation, and, besides, t.hey
would not kill any rabbits. The Pueb
los believe that the sacred fire rests
in trees, and that it can be had only
in this manner.
At a signal from the shaman, which
is a grunt, all rise and form in line
facing the east-the shaman at the
head. He first spi inkles the floor with
corn meal, and then the men file before
him, each receiving a sprinkling. The
line has now formed as a crescent,
opening to the cast. The dance be
gins with a song, which is supposed to
have the effect of so charming the
rabbits that they cannot hear the ap
proach of the bunter on the morrow.
The dance is a slow promenade in sin
gle file, with a hippity-hop step, and
the chanting is equally monotonors.
Two men in front carry coneave
o~,urds in their left hands, over which
they draw a notched stick. Those who
have heard the raspings of a Chinese
fiddle can have some idea of this ex
footed and bareleggeJ, wearing only
a patchwork of rabbit skin around the
body. The breast is bare, with the.
exception of a coat of red paint, de
scribing the figures of rabbits. Dur
ing the height of the music one of the
dancers jumps into the middle of the
room with a "Ho! Ho!" He imitates
the jumping of a rabbit, and the man
ner in which that animal is to be killed
the next day by the successful hunters.
This is received with many grunts of
approval. The dance lasts until after
midnight, or ends with the endurance
of the dancers.
The next morning at sunrise the
hunters meet in the estufa, and after
each has smoked a sacred cigarette,
they mount their ponie3 and form a
line facing to the east-the direction
of the hunt. Each hunter has several
weapons like boomerangs tied to his
saddle by buckskin thongs. A grunt
from the shaman, and they form into
the shape of a crescent, opening at
the east. Another grunt, and th,:e
is a race to the point designated
(wo, or three, or even ten miles dis.
tant. Over the broad mesas they
charge, hurling their boomerangs with
almost unerring aim at the fleeing
rabbits; now dismounting to baj
their game. and off again with the
speed of the wind. They know the
haunts of the animals, and divide into
groups to surround the likely fields,
some routing up the rabbits, while
others topple them over with the
boomerang.
The hant ends about sundown
when the hunters ret-irn to the vil
lage. each carrying upon his pony the
game that he has bagged, in a sack
made of rabbit-skins. Those who have
not killed many have very little to
say, as usual with unlucky huntsmen.
As they approach the village, singing
the song of the rabbit hunt, fires are
seen just without the gate and near
the shrine, and the chanting of wo
men is heard. They have gathered
to welcome the return of the hunters,
and are re-echoing the song of the
rabbit hunt. They meekly welcome
the braves and follow them to the
cacique's house, all singing. Each
hunter presents to the cacique a choice
rabbit-perhaps the largest of the
catch-and after serenading him they
depart to their respective huts, and
each rrepares his own family feast.
So the annual rabbit hunt is ended.
The hunter eats the head of the rabbit
he has killed. This is supposed to
give him power to kill others. They
roast the rabbits in adobe ovens, or
stew them whole, with cornmeal, in
earthen jars. It is considered bad
luck to eat a rabbit when fried.
The Upas Tree.
During his recent stay in Java,
Professor Wiesner ascertained some
interesting particulars with reference
to the celebrated Upas tree, Antiaris
toxicaria. Contrary to the general
impression that this tree is not un
common in yTava and the Sunda I1l
ands, an impression manifested by
the statements in the leading text
books, Professor WViesner learned that
the original specimcn described by
Leschenhault has been felleJ1, and in
the whole of Java there were but three
iLdividual trees belonging te the
genus and closely allied to A. toxicaria.
Of these three trees one was found by
Dr. Gershoff to be innocuous, and
was therefore A. innoxia, Blume, a
species supposed by many botanists 'o
b)e only a variety of A. toxicaria. The
second tree proved to be poisonous,
one drop of the latex being sufficient
to kill a dog ; the third bas not been
examined.
The tree has, however, been culti
vated in the botanical garden, and
there are now in the plantation at
Tj ikomoh about seventy specimrens.
Neither in the botanical! garden nor
in the plantation could any ill effects
be o'oserved, even after a person hay
ing been for some time in the neigh
borhood of the trees; so the accounts
of the poisonous nature of the exhala
tions from it are much exaggerated.
Dr. Burek has shown that the plant
gives off no injurious vapors, and that
the latex is poisonous only when it
passes through a wound in the blood.

The Yacht Amierica To-day.
It is pretty difficult to perceive in
the old. mildewed craft tosstng
mournfully on the water in front of
the Chelsea Clubhouse any semblanc3
to General Butler's fast sailing
schooner yacht America. Yet the old
America it is, with its sea wings gone
and its racing heels doubled and
twisted by years of neglect ani inac
tivity. The old sea pacer has the
same boom and masts and the same
dignified poise di the nose that made
her a wonder in her triumphal days
in the early seventies. An old sea salt
declared the other day that a little
scraping and overhauling would put
her in a condition to sail the briny
deep with the same nobility and speed
of yore.-Bo.ston Traveller.

WILD FLOWERS,
Oh, beauifu2 blossoms. pure and sweer.
Agleam with dew from the country ways.
To me, at work in a city street,
You bring fair visions of bygone dayt
Glad days. when I hid in a mist of green
To watch spring's delicate buds unfo!d;
And all the riches I cared to glean
Were daisvilver and buttercun gold.
Tis true you ciome of a lowly ra:!e.
Nursed by rhe sunsh.n- fed by the show
ers.
And yet you are heirs 1o a nameless gr ieo.
Which I fail to find in my hothouse flow
ers:
Ani you breathe on me with your honeyed
lips,
Till in thought I stan 1 on the win--wept
fell..
Where the brown Iees hmm o'er the ferny
dips.
Or ring faint peals on the heathmr bell.
I lose my eyes on the crowded street.
I shut my ears to the city's roar.
And am out in the open with flying feet
Off. off te, your emerald haunts once more!
But the hash wheels grate on the stones be
low,
And a sparrow chirps at the murzy pane,
And rry bright dreams fade in an overflow
Of passionate longing and tender paic.

Quietud3 Conduces to L.org Life.
That quietude conduces to longevity
seems to be demonstrate.1 by the rec
ord of longevity in Philadelphia, a
matter on which the city prides itself
considerably. During the first half of
this year the obituary columns of the
Ledger contained death notices of 231
women and 180 men who had lived to
or beyond the age of eighty years.
Tue greater part of the deaths were of
residents of Philadelphia. Thirty wo
men and twenty-six men lived to or
beyond the age of ninety years. The
extreme ages reached were ninety
nine years by one woman and ninety
ix by three men. One colored man
has a record all to himself. He was
John Gibson, a well known character
in Philadelphia, who died on Febru
ary 21 at the Blome for Aged and In
firm Colored People. He claimed to
be 130 years old, but the most au
thentic information made him out to
be 117, which was accepted as being
probably correct.--New York Sun.

',eal Pie All Around.
There is s 1)ie shop in London that
Charles Dickens used to stand before
when ws a child he drudged in a black
ing factory. Every day, on his way
to and from work, he paused to devoui
viands with his eves, and sometimes,
as he said, he pressed his tongue to
the window panes, as if by doing that
he got a ittle bit of a taste of the
good things that lay so near, yet were
so far beyond his reach.
An American who admires Dickens
hunted up this pie shop when he was
in London in order to gratify senti
ment and curiosity. It proved to be
a mere box of a place in a poor quar
ter of the city; but the original busi
ness was still conducted there. A
the traveler peered into the shalowy
interior . voice piped at his elbov :
"Please, sir, will you buy me a weal
pie?"
The owner of the voice was a small,
diehevelled person, with whom a veal
pie or any other kind would have
agreed right well. The American re
plied:
"How many boys do you suppose
that shop would hold?"
"I dunno. About fifteen or sixteen,
I should think."
"Well, you go and get fifteen more
boys and bring them back here."
The boy studied the man's fa-e for
a moment, as if to make sure he was
in the enjoyment of his senses, then
hurled himself into a side street with
a yell. Hardly a minute elapsed be
fore he returned, the head of a pro
cession of sixteen gamins, assorted as
to size and clothing, unanimous in
appetito and hope. This ragged bat
talion assembled close behind the ben
factor, and follo.ved him precipitately
into the shop, when he announced
that he was going to give them all the
pie they wanted.
For a quarter of an hour the aston
ished baker .served "weal an' 'am"
pies, hand over hand to the sixteen
astonished youths of. London. while -
the American sat and watched the
scene with hardly less astonishment.
Few words were spoken, and the on
slaught was as fierce and persistent
while it lasted as the charge at Tel-el
Kebir. The exhaustion of supplies
brought the banquet to a close, and
the traveler paid the score, thinking
it little to pay in view ol the fun he
had, while the boys tumbled into
the street, cheering, and went to
spread the news of this miracle
through the it.nes of London. -Phila
dephia Times.
Strength of the Grizzly Bear.
"The strength of black bears is
wonderful, but that of grizzlies," says
a California writer in the New York
Sun, "is almost beyond the belief of
persons who have never had proof of
it. I have seen black bears frequently
carrying the carcases of pigs that
must have weighed more than sev-'-nty
pounds several miles across a n in
tain side of sharp rocks, and I i' ye
heard bear hunters tell of bavir seen
cows knocked down by a blow from
the forepaw of a black hear. Three
summers ago If was in the coast moun
tains, up in Monterey County, and
one moonlight nigtit there I saw a big
grizzly she bear carrying a dead year
ling cow home to her cubs. I had a
position on a mountain side where I
could see every movement of the bear
in the sparsoly timbered valley below
me. She carried the dead cow in her
forepaws for at least. three miles,
across jagged, sharp rocks, over fallen
iogs, arouiid the rocky mountiin sides,
where even a jackass could not get a
foothold, to a nairow trail up the
steep mountain. She never stopped
to rest for a moment, but went right
along. I followed her, and just about
a half a mile from her lair I laid her
out. The heifer weighed at least 200
pounds, and the bear would have
tipped the b)eam, if I had had one
there, at about 450 pounds. I have
hEard of the remarkable strength of
gorillas in Africa, but I don't see how
any beast can surpass a grizzly for
power and endurance."
Scarcity of Laborers.
It is an almost universal practice of
farmers to plant a much larger area
of land than they can possibly attend
to until harvest time, and then there
is a desperate struggle to save the
crop. This is not only true with all
crops like corn, potatoes, cotton and
other kinds requiring attentioni dur ing
the growing season, but grain which
is left to itself from the time of sowing
until it is harvested. Sowing more
than they can reap is one of those
habits into which farmers fall, per
haps without knowing why, but it is
not confined to any country, race or
clime. News comes to us from South
America that along the,. River Phute,
while the weather is fine, dry and very
favorable for ripening corn, the
gathering is retarded hy the scare ity
of labor for handling the great crop.
The farmers planted a much larger
acreage than they shou!d have done,
and so find themselves crippled for
want of held to gather the crop. -New

Chicago's Collapsed Fad.
Material of which John Brown's
fort and Abraham Lincoln's lo - cabin
were made is now stacked up in a
couple of barns in Chicago. I is a
very good thing indeed that the
amusement schemes which were re
sponsiblc for the moving to this city
of the two structures mentioned
failed. Neither building should have
been moved from the original site,
which along gave it interest.
After the failure of the several fool
ish plans of this eort originated before
the World's Fair there is reason to
hope that speculators have quite lost
their zeal for making sideshows of the
histnric iuildings. -Chicago Evening

A sork that is longer than it ie
