"Ministering to Replace Home and Visiting Teaching\n\nContributed By Camille West, ChurchofJesusChrist.org Church News\n\nArticle Highlights Ministering replaces home teaching and visiting teaching.",
"\n\nMinistering is Christlike caring for others and helping meet their spiritual and temporal needs.",
"\n\nMinistering better focuses members’ efforts to minister as the Savior did.",
"\n\n“What does ministering look like? ... ",
"It looks like becoming part of someone’s life and caring about him or her.” —",
"Sister Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society General President\n\nDuring the Sunday afternoon session of April general conference, President Russell M. Nelson announced a significant change to the way members serve and care for each other.",
"\n\nThe separate programs of home teaching and visiting teaching will be “retired,” he said, becoming a coordinated effort called “ministering,” a “new and holier approach” to Christlike caring for others and helping meet their spiritual and temporal needs.",
"\n\nMinistering as the Savior did\n\nMinistering will better focus the efforts of Melchizedek Priesthood quorums and Relief Societies on ministering as the Savior did, leaders explained in subsequent conference addresses.",
"\n\n“Combining Relief Society efforts with the now-restructured elders quorum (see related story) will bring a unity that can yield astonishing results,” said Sister Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society General President. ",
"The coordinated ministering effort helps fulfill the priesthood duty to “visit the house of each member” and to “watch over the church always, and be with and strengthen them” (see D&C 20:47, 53) and “the Relief Society purpose to help one another prepare for the blessings of eternal life,” she said. (",
"See Handbook 2: Administering the Church [2010], 9.1.1). (",
"See “Ministering as the Savior Does,” April 2018 General Conference.)",
"\n\n“Working together under the direction of the bishop, elders quorum and Relief Society presidencies can be inspired as they seek the best ways to watch over and care for each individual and family,” said Sister Bingham.",
"\n\nElders quorum presidencies will assign ministering brothers to every household, and Relief Society presidencies will assign ministering sisters to each adult sister. ",
"Sister Bingham suggested elders quorum and Relief Society leaders counsel together prayerfully. ",
"Then, she said, “rather than leaders just handing out slips of paper,” they make assignments in person in a conversation about the strengths, needs, and challenges of those to whom brothers and sisters minister.",
"\n\nWhat does ministering look like?",
"\n\nMinistering brothers and sisters represent the Savior, Sister Bingham said. ",
"And when they consider how to minister, they should ask themselves, “What does he or she need?”",
"\n\n“Coupling that question with a sincere desire to serve, we are then led by the Spirit to do what would lift and strengthen the individual [or family],” she said.",
"\n\nMinistering does not include a set monthly message in the Church magazines nor a prescribed way to keep in contact, such as in-home, face-to-face visits each month—even though visits are important when they are possible, the leaders explained.",
"\n\nThe purpose of ministering, as said of those in Alma’s day, is to “watch over their people, and … nourish them with things pertaining to righteousness” (Mosiah 23:18), explained Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.",
"\n\n“With these adjustments we want more care and concern, not less,” Elder Holland cautioned.",
"\n\n“What does ministering look like?” ",
"Sister Bingham asked. ",
"Ministering looks like going for a walk, getting together for a game night, offering service, serving together, visiting (in person, by phone, online, or via text), delivering a birthday card, and cheering at a soccer game, she said. “",
"It looks like sharing a scripture or quote from a conference talk that would be meaningful to that individual. ",
"It looks like discussing a gospel question and sharing testimony to bring clarity and peace. ",
"It looks like becoming part of someone’s life and caring about him or her.”",
"\n\nInvolve youth\n\nSister Bingham explained that ministering may include Laurels and Mia Maids as companions to Relief Society sisters, and priests and teachers continue to serve as ministering companions to Melchizedek Priesthood holders.",
"\n\n“Youth can share their unique gifts and grow spiritually as they serve alongside adults in the work of salvation,” she said. ",
"Involving youth also increases the number of members caring for others, and helps the youth “better prepare to fulfill their roles as leaders in the Church and community and as contributing partners in their families.”",
"\n\nCounsel together in ministering interviews\n\nElder Holland explained that ministering brothers and sisters will no longer report monthly visits, but will instead counsel with leaders in a quarterly “absolutely crucial” ministering interview about the needs and strengths of those they are assigned. ",
"The number of interviews leaders had with ministering companionships during a quarter is the only formal report that will be made. ",
"However, the purpose of the interview, Elder Holland explained, is for priesthood and Relief Society leaders to understand the “spiritual and temporal condition of the people.” (",
"Read “Be With and Strengthen Them,” April 2018 General Conference).",
"\n\n“We at Church headquarters don’t need to know how or where or when you make contact with your people. ",
"We just need to know—and care very much—that you do make it, and that you bless them in every way that you can,” said Elder Holland. “",
"A new name, new flexibility, fewer reports will not make one ounce of difference in our service unless we see this as an invitation to care for one another in a bold new holier way,” he said.",
"\n\n“As we accept the opportunity to wholeheartedly minister to our sisters and brothers,” Sister Bingham concluded, “we are blessed to become more spiritually refined, more in tune with the will of God, and more able to understand His plan to help each one return to Him.”",
"\n\nAccording to a letter from the First Presidency, the ministering adjustments may take some time but should be made as soon as possible. ",
"Ministering.ChurchofJesusChrist.org provides additional details, including answers to frequently asked questions. ",
"Instructional videos and other resources will be added to the website over the coming days and weeks."

"Henry James Coleridge\n\nHenry James Coleridge (born 20 September 1822, in Devon, England; d. Roehampton, 13 April 1893) was a writer on religious affairs and preacher.",
"\n\nLife\nHe was the son of Sir John Taylor Coleridge, a Judge of the King's Bench, and brother of John Coleridge, 1st Baron Coleridge, Chief Justice of England. ",
"His grandfather, Captain James Coleridge, was brother of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the poet and philosopher.",
"\n\nHe was sent to Eton at the age of thirteen and thence to Oxford, having obtained a scholarship at Trinity College. ",
"His university career was distinguished; in 1844 he took the highest honours in a fellowship at Oriel, then the blue ribbon of the university. ",
"In 1848 he received Anglican orders. ",
"The Tractarian movement being then at its height, Coleridge, with many of his tutors and friends, joined its ranks and was an ardent disciple of John Henry Newman till his conversion.",
"\n\nGradually various incidents, the secession of Newman, Dr. Renn Hampden's appointment as Regius Professor of Theology, the condemnation and suspension of Edward Bouverie Pusey, the condemnation and deprivation of William George Ward, and the decision in the Gorham case, seriously shook his confidence in the Church of England. ",
"In consequence Edward Hawkins, Provost of Oriel, declined to admit him as a college tutor, and he therefore accepted a curacy at Alphington, a parish recently separated from that of Ottery St Mary, the home of his family, where his father had built for him a house and school. ",
" His doubts as to his religious position continued, however, to grow and early in 1852 he determined that he could no longer remain in the Anglican Communion.",
"\n\nConversion to Catholicism\nOn Quinquagesima Sunday (22 February) he bade farewell to Alphington, and in April, after a retreat at Clapham under the Redemptorist Fathers, he was received into the Catholic Church. ",
"Determined to be a priest he proceeded in the following September to Rome and entered the Accademia dei Nobili, where he had for companions several of his Oxford friends, and others, including the future Cardinals Manning and Vaughan. ",
"He was ordained in 1856 and six months later took the degree of S.T.D. In the summer of 1857 he returned to England, and on 7 September entered the Jesuit Novitiate, which was then at Beaumont Lodge, Old Windsor, his novice master being Father Thomas Tracy Clarke, for whom to the end of his life he entertained the highest admiration and esteem.",
"\n\nThe Month\nIn 1859 he was sent to the Theological College of St. Beuno's, North Wales, as a professor of Scripture, and remained there until, in 1865, he was called to London to become the first Jesuit editor of The Month, a magazine started under Frances Margaret Taylor in the previous year and subsequently sold to the Jesuits. ",
"He continued as editor for more than fifteen years.",
"\n\nAfter the death of Father William Maher, in 1877, he added the editorship of the Messenger of the Sacred Heart, for which he was one of the most prolific writers. ",
"He projected and carried on the Quarterly Series to which he himself largely contributed, both with his work The Public Life of Our Lord and others, such as The Life and Letters of St. Francis Xavier and The Life and Letters of St. Teresa. ",
"He also wrote a Harmony of the Gospels, Vita Vitae Nostrae, a favourite book for meditation, published also in an English version. ",
"And he wrote studies based on the New Testament, an interest which seems to have been partly acquired from his old Oxford tutor, Isaac Williams. ",
"\n\nFor a time he was also superior of his religious brethren in Farm Street, London. ",
"In 1881 failing health obliged him to resign The Month to another Oxonian, Father Richard F. Clarke, but he continued to work on The Life of Our Lord. ",
"In 1890 a paralytic seizure compelled him to withdraw to the novitiate at Roehampton, where he finished the work before passing away. ",
"The chief sources for his life are articles in The Month, June, 1893, by his friend James Patterson, Bishop of Emmaus, and the Jesuit Father Richard F. Clarke.",

"Introduction {#sec1}\n===============\n\nOxidative stress affects the organism when the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the capacity of the cells to protect or repair themselves \\[[@B1]\\]. ",
"Reactive oxygen species can initiate lipid peroxidation and DNA damage leading to mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and cell death, if the antioxidant system is impaired \\[[@B2]\\]. ",
"In physiological conditions, spermatozoa exhibit a capacity to generate ROS, but there is equilibrium between the generation of ROS and antioxidant strategies, leaving only a critical amount of ROS required for normal sperm functions, as capacitation, acrosome reaction, and fusion with the oocyte membrane \\[[@B3]\\]. ",
"Excessive production of ROS, however, results in peroxidation of the unsaturated fatty acids in sperm membrane, therefore resulting in defective sperm function \\[[@B2]\\].",
"\n\nIn this context, the antioxidants appear as potentials constituent for cryoprotectors in the goat semen freezing process. ",
"Vitamin E is a primary component of sperm antioxidant system \\[[@B4]\\], and one of the main membrane protectors against ROS \\[[@B5]\\]. ",
"Cryopreservation of goat semen using Equex (sodium lauryl sulphate) showed beneficial effect on the parameters of the thawed goat semen at concentrations of 0.5 to 1% \\[[@B6]\\]. ",
"Therefore, Equex at a concentration of 0.008% v/v was used as an emulsifier of vitamin E \\[[@B7], [@B8]\\] in the freezing-thawing process.",
"\n\nThe main damage caused by reheating occurs when the sperm passes through the critical zone between −50°C and −15°C or −5°C \\[[@B9]\\]. ",
"Moreover, sperm undergoes osmotic stress when duration of defrosting is insufficient to efflux the excess of cryoprotectants from within the cells. ",
"Sperm becomes turgid and smooth due to the abrupt dilution of the medium caused by defrosting of extracellular ice \\[[@B10]\\].",
"\n\nThawing procedure should be performed at high temperature to minimize recrystallization. ",
"Thus, this study aimed to evaluate whether vitamin E associated with rapid thawing can reduce the damage on goat semen which is caused by freezing-thawing process.",

"Material and Methods {#sec2}\n=======================\n\n2.1. ",
"Animals: Collection and Physical Analyses of the Semen {#sec2.1}\n-----------------------------------------------------------\n\nTwo bucks, Parda Alpina breed, from Universidade Federal de Viçosa, MG, with good body condition and three years old, were used. ",
"Animals were evaluated and approved for reproduction through andrological examination in agreement with quality patterns of fresh semen extolled by the Brazilian College of Animal Reproduction \\[[@B11]\\].",
"\n\nThe collection period extended from April to May, 2010. ",
"Ejaculates were obtained through artificial vagina in the presence of an estrous doe restrained in collection trunk. ",
"Ejaculates were collected every 2 days, totalizing 8 ejaculates per animal.",
"\n\nAfter collections, semen physical analyses were performed: sperm motility (0--100%), vigor and mass movement (score from 0 to 5). ",
"Sperm morphology and concentration (sptz/mL) were done by separated samples. ",
"All the ejaculates that were used in this experiment followed the parameters summarized in [Table 1](#tab1){ref-type=\"table\"} \\[[@B11]\\].",
"\n\n2.2. ",
"Stock Solutions of Vitamin E {#sec2.2}\n---------------------------------\n\nAn aliquot of Equex (sodium lauryl sulphate; 0.8 mL) was diluted in distilled water to prepare 100 mL of Equex solution (0.8% v/v), and 50 mL of this solution was distributed in 0.5 mL tubes and frozen at −20°C until use. ",
"Vitamin E (DL-*α*-Tocopherol acetate, Sigma-Aldrich) solution (10 mM) was prepared with the remaining 50 mL. This solution was homogenized with a magnetic stirrer, stored in 0.5 mL tubes, and frozen at −20°C. ",
"Vitamin E weight was done in a room with dim light due to its photosensitivity \\[[@B7]\\].",
"\n\n2.3. ",
"Semen Freezing and Experimental Design {#sec2.3}\n-------------------------------------------\n\nAfter physical examination, 10 *μ*L of fresh semen was diluted (1 : 200) in Hancock solution \\[[@B11]\\] for sperm concentration analysis (haemocytometer method), for calculation of the final volume of diluent to be added.",
"\n\nFor dilution, each ejaculate was divided into three treatments: BIOXCELL (control; [Table 2](#tab2){ref-type=\"table\"}), BIOXCELL + Equex, and BIOXCELL + vitamin E 100 *μ*M. Vitamin E and Equex were added to final dilutions and fixed in 10 *μ*L of stock solution per mL (1 : 100).",
"\n\nAfter dilution, semen was packaged into 0.25 mL straws with 50 × 10^6^ sperm. ",
"Straws were placed in a 20 mL test tube coated with refill (plastic bag) and placed into a 240 mL plastic container containing 125 mL of ethyl alcohol. ",
"Container was placed horizontally inside a refrigerator, with internal temperature at 5°C, with cooling rate of −0.38°C·min^−1^ for 45 minutes and 15 minutes of equilibration period \\[[@B12]\\].",
"\n\nPrefreezing was performed during 15 minutes in liquid nitrogen vapor with prefreezing rate of −10.7°C·min^−1^; for this, straws were placed 5 cm above liquid nitrogen \\[[@B13]\\]. ",
"After this period, straws were submerged in liquid nitrogen (−196°C) and stored in cryogenic cylinder.",
"\n\nTen days after freezing, for each treatment, there were two types of thawing, both in water bath, as follows: at 38°C for 60 seconds or at 60°C for 7 seconds followed by 60 seconds at 38°C ([Table 3](#tab3){ref-type=\"table\"}). ",

"Hypoosmotic Swelling Test (HOST) {#sec2.4}\n-------------------------------------\n\nThe functional integrity of the sperm membrane was evaluated by the hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST), using a hypoosmotic solution of 100 mOsmol·Kg^−1^. For the preparation of hypoosmotic solution, 9 g of fructose and 4.9 g of trisodium citrate were dissolved in 1000 mL of deionized water \\[[@B14]\\].",
"\n\nAn aliquot of 20 *μ*L of thawed semen was added to 1 mL of hypoosmotic solution and incubated for 60 minutes in water bath at 38°C. ",
"Later, 0.5 mL of Hancock solution was added to the samples to fix them. ",
"Each HOST sample was mounted between glass slide and coverslip and examined in phase contrast microscope at 1000x increase. ",

"For statistical analysis, the Statistical Analysis System \\[[@B15]\\] was used. ",
"Data of sperm motility and HOST were submitted to analysis of variance associated to Tukey\\'s test using the PROC ANOVA, and interaction between diluents and thawing temperatures was assessed by the PROC GLM. ",

"Results {#sec3}\n==========\n\nSperm motility, sperm vigor, and hypoosmotic swelling test showed no differences among studied diluents (*P* \\> 0.05; [Table 4](#tab4){ref-type=\"table\"}). ",

"Discussion {#sec4}\n=============\n\nThe effect of vitamin E on semen characteristics of domestic mammals has been extensively studied. ",
"Addition of vitamin E to animal diets showed goods results in sheep \\[[@B16]\\] and goats \\[[@B17]\\]. ",
"Nevertheless, inclusion of vitamin E to the semen extenders showed variable results among species. ",
"Vitamin E at a concentration of 100 *μ*M improved bull sperm membrane integrity, but it did not improve sperm motility and vigor \\[[@B7]\\]. ",
"Moreover, addition of vitamin E (100 *μ*M) to semen extender did not improve its quality in ram \\[[@B18]\\] and goats \\[[@B8]\\] supporting the present study.",
"\n\nThe beneficial effect of Equex at concentrations of 0.5 to 1% on the parameters of the goat thawed semen has been reported \\[[@B6]\\]; nevertheless, these concentrations are larger than the 0.008% used in this study in which Equex was used as a Vitamin E emulsifier; however, even used as an emulsifier, Equex could improve bull sperm membrane integrity in the freezing process \\[[@B7]\\].",
"\n\nThawing rate affects substantially quality of cryopreserved semen \\[[@B19]\\]. ",
"The ideal rate which recovers a great number of spermatozoa is variable among species. ",
"Thawing procedure should be performed at a high temperature to avoid recrystallization. ",
"The main damage caused by reheating occurs when the sperm passes through a critical zone between −50°C and −15°C or −5°C \\[[@B9]\\]. ",
"Sperm becomes turgid and smooth due to the abrupt dilution of the medium caused by defrosting of extracellular ice \\[[@B10]\\].",
"\n\nIn this study, thawing rate of 60°C/7 seconds did not improve sperm motility when compared to thawing rate of 38°C/60 seconds (*P* \\> 0.05), probably because these two thawing rates do not possess sufficient differences in the formation of large ice crystals during crystallization to be able to affect goat sperm motility.",
"\n\nIn bovine, there is a plateau in the relationship between thawing rate and sperm survival, so that increase in thawing temperature between 50°C and 70°C does not improve sperm motility \\[[@B20]\\]. ",
"It was hypothesized that, for goat semen, there is a lower plateau and temperatures between 37°C and 55°C also do not promote differences in the quality of thawed semen \\[[@B21]\\].",
"\n\nIt is possible that temperatures higher than that used in this study could improve cryopreserved goat semen parameters. ",
"Tuli et al. ",
"\\[[@B19]\\] observed an increase on progressive motility and plasma membrane integrity of goat semen thawed at 70°C/7 seconds in comparison with the thawing rate of 37°C/2 minutes and 40°C/20 seconds. ",
"However, attention should be given to temperature and time of thawing; temperatures higher than 37°C leave the time as a critical variable. ",
"High temperatures can increase sperm mortality rates if applied improperly \\[[@B22]\\].",
"\n\nNevertheless, the functional integrity of sperm membrane assessed by HOST was higher when semen was defrosted at 60°C/7 seconds (*P* \\< 0.05). ",
"This thawing rate probably is able to reduce formation of large ice crystals enough to protect the functional integrity of the goat sperm membrane. ",
"Correlation analysis showed no correlation between HOST and sperm vigor (*P* \\> 0.05), but there was correlation between HOST and sperm motility (*r* = 0.47; *P* \\< 0.001); besides, a regression analysis resulted in a linear function expressed by Sperm motility = 0.18547 + 0.38924 HOST (*P* \\< 0.001; *R* ^2^ = 0.22; [Figure 1](#fig1){ref-type=\"fig\"}).",
"\n\nAlthough the HOST cannot be used as the unique parameter to assess sperm quality \\[[@B23]\\], it is a good supplemental test to improve the efficiency of the sperm analysis \\[[@B24]\\] which is supported by the *R* ^2^ value that was found in this study.",
"\n\n5. ",
"Conclusions {#sec5}\n==============\n\nIn conclusion, vitamin E did not affect the studied parameters of the thawed goat semen. ",
"Defrosting goat semen at 60°C/7 seconds followed by of 38°C/60 seconds can increase functional integrity of the goat sperm membrane but not the sperm motility and vigor. ",
"More studies are still required to understand the effective role of the antioxidants in goat semen as well as the effect of different thawing rates that may be used in the goat sperm freezing-thawing process.",

"Email\n\nMEMBERS of the Bengali community in Karachi, such as the residents of Machhar Colony seen here, say they face major obstacles without legal documents.—Fahim Siddiqi / White Star\n\nKARACHI: An overwhelming number of Karachi’s Bengali community remains out of the finalised electoral rolls for the general elections because they do not possess a CNIC, a prerequisite for being on the electoral rolls as per Elections Act 2017.",
"\n\nThe community, whose strength in Karachi is estimated to be around two million, has a sizable number of people who either do not possess a government-issued ID or their CNICs have been revoked on suspicion of being illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. ",
"Social and political activists belonging to the Bengali community of Karachi estimate this number to be around 1.2m.\n\nThree sisters — Ameena, Rukhsana, and Zareena — are among those of the Bengali community who remain without a CNIC despite their claimed eligibility.",
"\n\nResidents of Zaman Town in Korangi, the sisters say that they have not been issued CNICs despite filing applications several times at the local Nadra centre in Korangi-4.",
"\n\n“The officers there tell us that Bengalis cannot get a CNIC. ",
"They ask us to prove that we were born here, and that our parents had been living in what was then West Pakistan before 1971,” says Zareena, who then shows their father’s employment cards and documents which demonstrate that the family has been living and working in Karachi prior to Dec 16, 1971.",
"\n\n“We have provided all these documents but our identity card requests remain at a standstill,” she adds.",
"\n\nThe Pakistan Citizenship Act 1951 stipulates that people who were residing in territories that now comprise Pakistan prior to Dec 16, 1971, would continue to be citizens of Pakistan, and their children would be considered citizens of Pakistan by virtue of their descent.",
"\n\nCall for issuance of CNICs\n\nAlso, Nadra’s own guidelines on the process of verifying and revoking CNICs state that the authority would accept a person to be a Pakistani citizen if the person can prove he/she has been residing in Pakistan prior to 1978 — providing an approximately seven-year extension to the date set in the citizenship act.",
"\n\nApparently, the cut-off year is kept at 1978 to differentiate between Bengalis who are legally entitled to residence in Pakistan and those who emigrated from Bangladesh in search of a livelihood.",
"\n\nSocial activists, however, estimate that over the years, economic migrants have mostly moved out because it is no longer profitable to work and earn in Pakistan due to the rupee being weaker than the Bangladeshi taka.",
"\n\nMany of the Bengali-speaking residents of Karachi who have been unable to obtain CNICs possess identification and other kinds of documents issued by Nadra and different wings of the government, proving that they qualify for a CNIC. ",
"Baqir Hussain is one such person.",
"\n\nA resident of Machhar Colony in Karachi, Baqir was issued a CNIC by Nadra in 2002. ",
"Prior to that, he had a B-Form of his own. ",
"He subsequently married, was issued a nikah certificate by the government of Sindh and his children were issued B-Forms by Nadra. ",
"In 2013, however, his CNIC was blocked by Nadra on pretext of being an alien. ",
"Since then, he has not been able to get his name removed from the so-called ‘foreigners’ list.",
"\n\nHe questions the entire episode which has stripped him of his nationality.",
"\n\n“If I were an alien, and now I have been found to have illegally arrived in Pakistan, how and why was I issued a CNIC earlier?” ",
"he says, adding that he has legal proofs of being born in Pakistan but Nadra officials do not pay heed to it.",
"\n\nBaqir, who now holds an alien registration card issued by the National Aliens Registration Authority (Nara, now merged with Nadra) lists the consequences that follow after revocation of a CNIC.",
"\n\n“I won’t be able to vote in the elections for my favourite political party because I don’t have a CNIC. ",
"My children will be deprived of their right to education because they also will not be classified as Pakistani citizens now,” he complains.",
"\n\nBengali community activists allege that Baqir’s case is not isolated, saying that scores of people from their community have had their CNICs revoked and were ‘forcefully issued’ alien registration cards classifying them as non-citizens.",
"\n\nA senior official of the now-defunct Nara, who is presently associated with Nadra, explains the reasoning behind it.",
"\n\n“Our body was formed with the purpose of registering aliens, and we did just that. ",
"There might have been isolated incidents of misjudgements, but Nadra verification boards are there for settling these disputed claims,” he says while requesting anonymity.",
"\n\nShaikh Mohammad Siraj, a community advocate and the chairman of the Action Committee for Pakistani Bengalis, believes that the citizenship issues his community faces can be resolved through legislation.",
"\n\nIn July 1999, a special committee was formed in the National Assembly to probe into allegations of harassment and discrimination faced by Bengali citizens of Pakistan. ",
"In February 2018, Siraj along with other community leaders met with former federal minister for law and justice Bashir Mehmood Virk and former MNA Qaisar Ahmed Shaikh, both belonging to the PML-N, who assured the community that they would do their best to resolve the matter. ",
"No progress was however seen on the matter.",
"\n\nSiraj further says, “The parliament mainstreamed the Federally Administered Tribal Areas but the plight of Pakistani Bengalis gets no serious consideration. ",
"We will have to make renewed efforts to bring our case to attention when the next parliament is sworn in.”",
"\n\nMuttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan’s spokesman Aminul Haq says the parliament should take necessary steps to mainstream the Bengali community. “",
"Our party supports the idea of granting them citizenship,” he says.",
"\n\n“Successive governments and all major political parties have not paid attention to the Bengali community’s problem. ",
"The citizenship act should be amended as it is very hard for applicants to produce the proofs dating back to 1971 or 1978,” he says.",
"\n\nHowever Ayaz Latif Palijo, president of the Qaumi Awami Tehreek (QAT), says that the government, while deciding the citizenship cases of a community or a group of people, must keep in view the Liaquat-Nehru Pact of 1950 which provided for the legal movement of migrants between India and Pakistan only up to 1956.",
"\n\n“There may be legitimate cases of Bengalis who were residing in Pakistan before that, but we want the government to make sure that no one is granted citizenship in violation of the 1950 pact,” he says, adding that arbitrary time limits like that of 1978 were unacceptable and have no legal basis, whereas application of Pakistan Citizenship Act 1951 should also be done in accordance with the Liaquat-Nehru Pact.",
"\n\nHe is not alone in having these views. ",
"On May 16, the Sindh Action Committee, an alliance of 10 nationalist parties, staged a protest demonstration at the Karachi Press Club, calling for stopping the issuance of CNICs to ‘foreigners’."

"It’s a story shared by many Team Canada alumni – a hockey passion sparked by childhood memories of\nspending hours on an outdoor rink during cold winter days, playing pickup until the sun went down and toes\nwent numb.",
"\n\nSo it makes perfect sense that the Hockey Canada Foundation partnered with the Ottawa Senators and the\nSens Foundation to raise about $400,000 at the 8th annual HCF gala and golf tournament for the construction\nof a refrigerated outdoor community rink in Canada’s capital city. ",
"Work on the Rink of Dreams project, being\nbuilt to inspire young hockey players, starts at the end of September. ",
"Organizers intend to open the rink to\nthe public in time for the holiday season.",
"\n\nThis year’s event, held June 27 at the Ottawa Convention Centre overlooking the picturesque Rideau Canal\nand prestigious Parliament Hill and June 28 at Marshes Golf Club and Eagle Creek Golf Course, also raised\nabout $300,000 for the HCF Endowment Fund, in support of the foundation itself and various Hockey Canada\nprograms, ranging from the country’s high performance teams to grassroots sport development.",
"\n\nThe $700,000 total was a result of unique silent and live auctions, as well as tickets sold for tables at\nthe gala dinner, which was hosted by event chairman Jim Durrell and emceed by TSN personality Gord Miller,\nwhile a hockey hot stove featured National Men’s Team alumnus Theo Fleury (Oxbow, Sask.), ",
"National Junior\nTeam head coach Don Hay (Kamloops, B.C.), National Women’s Team veteran Jayna Hefford (Kingston, Ont.) ",
"and\nCanada’s National Sledge Team member Greg Westlake (Oakville, Ont.).",
"\n\nMore than 14 coaches and 10 captains from the past 30 National Junior Teams also attended the gala\nweekend, who were invited to help celebrate three decades of Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence. ",
"The 30th\nanniversary of Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence comes just as Canada readies itself to host the IIHF\nWorld Junior Championship in Calgary and Edmonton, Alta., ",
"this December.",
"\n\nThe weekend’s special guests included Olympians Kristina Groves (bobsleigh), Kaillie Humphries\n(bobsleigh), Heather Moyse (bobsleigh), Joannie Rochette (figure skating) and Lyndon Rush (bobsleigh). ",
"The\norganizing committee of this year’s gala was made up of business and community leaders from across Ottawa,\nsuch as Bernie Ashe, Slyvie Bigras, Brian Bockstael, Jonathan Bodden, Tony Dunn, John Jarvis, Geoff Moore,\nPeter O’Leary, Jim Orban Sr., ",
"Dave Ready, Michael Runia and Nathan Smith, along with Canada’s National Men’s\nTeam alumnus and event manager Chris Bright (Calgary, Alta.).",
"\n\nThe capital city’s new Rink of Dreams will operate annually from mid-November to the end of March, as a\npartnership among the Hockey Canada Foundation, the Sens Foundation and the City of Ottawa, and as a place\nfor future generations of athletes to ignite their own fire within for Canada’s favourite pastime."

"The Boy with the Topknot\n\nThe Boy with the Topknot is repeated on BBC Two on Saturday 18th August at 9.45pm and on BBC iPlayer as part of the Big British Asian Summer on the BBC. ",
"It is an an adaptation of Sathnam Sanghera's memoir of family, love, life, career and the discovery of his parents' secret battle with his father's and sister's mental illness. ",
"The book was adapted by Mick Ford for the screen. ",
"We spoke to both writers.",
"\n\nSathnam Sanghera\n\nWhat first motivated you to write your book The Boy with the Topknot?",
"\n\nSathnam Sanghera: The whole thing was basically an extravagant quarter-life crisis. ",
"I can't actually remember what order things happened but I initially began it as a way of explaining to my family why I wasn’t going to marry a Sikh girl, as they desperately wanted me to - having spent my twenties lying to them, and to myself. ",
"But then, when I began to find out troubling things about my family's history, it became something else entirely.",
"\n\nYou have mentioned that family memoir is a very unusual genre for Indian writers, why do you think that is? ",
"What was the reaction like?",
"\n\nSathnam Sanghera: Yes, there are very few Indian family memoirs. ",
"As a people we like to put our best face forward: anything difficult or dark like mental illness or emotional confusion is kept hidden away. ",
"You can see this desire to focus on the positive and upbeat in Bollywood. ",
"The reaction has been 95% positive. ",
"It was, in many ways, the perfect publishing experience. ",
"The whole thing began when, after a particularly painful break-up, I realised I had to integrate my two lives – the one in Wolverhampton, where I pretended I intended to marry someone of the same background as me, and the other in London, where I dated freely. ",
"It all worked out: my family have met girlfriends I have had since and would be delighted, I think, if I announced I was marrying a banana.",
"\n\nI wanted to write about our experience of severe mental illness, but without alienating anyone in my immediate family, and that worked out, too: my elder sister, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia in her teens, asked for a chapter to be deleted, which I did, but has now read the book four times. ",
"Schizophrenia is such a difficult condition that sufferers can often feel shunned by society and their families. ",
"To have your story told can be a powerful, validating thing. ",
"Meanwhile, the public reaction has been a dream, with thousands of letters and emails I’ve had from people saying it made them understand their family better, and even get treatment for mentally ill relatives; from students studying it at school and university; and, most satisfyingly, from psychiatrists, who have said it has helped them understand the people they treat.",
"\n\nSathnam Sanghera\n\nDid you ever think your book would be adapted for screen? ",
"When did you find out this was happening?",
"\n\nSS: It was optioned quite early on by a different company... but then we had a family bereavement and I felt I didn't want to put my family or myself through it. ",
"The new producers came along at a better stage, when time had passed and we all felt more resilient. ",
"It was still a surprise when it got green lit though - nothing ever actually seems to get made in film or TV. ",
"People just like to have lots of meetings.",
"\n\nDoes it feel like the right time to tell this story on TV considering it features both racial and mental health issues?",
"\n\nSS: Yes. ",
"If anything, I feel that many stories like this should have already been told from a cultural perspective - how many versions of Pride and Prejudice do we need? ",
"But a dramatic manifestation of schizophrenia is more essential and even rarer... that was the main reason to get it made. ",
"I hope people learn that schizophrenia is not a death sentence, that it is an awful illness and it can wreck your life but people do recover and you can be a good parent, a good sibling, you can work. ",
"It doesn’t need to be the end of everything.",
"\n\nYou’ve said in interviews that Sikh Punjabi culture, “is not very ‘talky’ and tends to be secretive. ",
"Now your family’s story is not only a book but also a TV drama – how did they react to that news?",
"\n\nSS: This is the question family memoirists get the most. ",
"Implicit in the enquiry is the assumption that there is such a thing as a unified and consistent reaction, when the fact is, every member of the family has felt differently about it at different times. ",
"Also, given it essentially deals with the worst things that have ever happened to me, I have found my feelings about it have varied wildly too. ",
"Indeed, I think we have as a family, between us, and over the decade between writing and broadcast, responded in almost every possible way. ",
"With the book one of my sisters got as far as page 40 and gave up, she said, because I “used too many big words”, providing an important and unexpected lesson for a writer: sometimes people who don’t read books just don’t give a toss. ",
"Now it is only telly though, she is suddenly intrigued. ",
"It's complicated - but they have all seen it and given their blessing. ",
"I couldn't have done it without their support.",
"\n\nHave you ever written scripts yourself? ",
"Were you tempted to adapt the book for screen?",
"\n\nSS: No. ",
"I wouldn't mind giving it a shot soon, but I didn't want to spend a single more minute dwelling on the painful material. ",
"I also didn't want to be the reason why it didn't get made.",
"\n\nHow does it feel to hand it over to someone else? ",
"How much were you involved in the development of the script?",
"\n\nSS: I read the various versions when I had to and gave detailed notes - I thought it was a miracle of concision and warmth and empathy, but would go to bed for a day afterwards. ",
"So bloody painful. ",
"Even now, it kills me to watch it.",
"\n\nIs the drama written in both English and Punjabi?",
"\n\nSS: Yes - and I'm glad it is.. because this is how my family works. ",
"Many of my nephews and nieces don't speak Punjabi, my mum understands English but doesn't speak it fluently, and yet they somehow communicate. ",
"I'm not sure I really understand how it works!",
"\n\nHave you seen the finished drama and are you please with the result? ",
"What do you hope people take away from it?",
"\n\nSS: I'm thrilled. ",
"Lynsey Miller and Mick Ford have done an amazing job - many details have been changed, and it is very different from the book, but that was how it FELT to be there and go through it. ",
"I hope people learn something about schizophrenia, about how all families are ultimately the same, and about why it is important to talk to your parents and siblings, even though it is agonising. ",
"They may well turn out to be the most amazing people you will ever meet\n\nScreenwriter and actor Mick Ford adapted The Boy with the Topknot for BBC Two\n\nMick Ford: No - the first I knew of Sathnam's book was when Nisha Parti, the producer, and Kudos asked if I’d like to read it - which I did - and loved it - it’s a fantastic read - it’s funny, it’s moving, it’s angry, it's investigative, it’s revelatory - truly one of the most rewarding books I’ve ever come across - because as well as letting me into a world I knew nothing about, it was also, somehow, relationship-wise, completely familiar and recognisable - quite a bizarre experience - anyway, I really wanted a crack at adapting it - and, luckily, they gave me the job.",
"\n\nThe Boy with the Topknot depicts a particular world at a particular time, did you have to do a lot of research or consult many people?",
"\n\nMF: I didn’t need to do any research: I had the book; Sathnam’s memoir - and I was re-telling his story, from his point of view - so I didn’t want any other input - I wanted it to remain as pure as possible - and I knew (if we got that far) that Sathnam would eventually read the script, react, give notes and voice any objections - which, when the time came, he did in spectacular detail!",
"\n\nHow does working on adaptations differ from creating your own original work? ",
"What are the biggest challenges of adapting someone else's work?",
"\n\nMF: An adaptation is almost the exact opposite of creating an original piece yourself. ",
"With an adaptation you start off with a ready-made narrative and characters. ",
"The skill is in deciding how to re-tell that story - in this case, within a one-off 90 minute film - which is hard when the source material is 320 pages long - you have to somehow distill it - and, in this case, tame it because Sathnam’s memoir spins off in all directions; its time frame darts around; it veers off to explore historical events in detail - it looks at past generations of the family in India - it’s a huge book in that respect - a wealth of wonderful detail - and we had 90 minutes.",
"\n\nSo: it’s deciding what to retain, what to leave out, and what to make more concise or change - for example, in the book, Sathnam has lots of girlfriends; none of whom ever get to meet his family. ",
"I decided he should have one girlfriend, Laura, which I hoped would solidify the notion that the Sathnam character really was living two lives.",
"\n\nOne of my main concerns throughout was the fact that the characters I was putting into the script were real people, alive and living in Wolverhampton today. ",
"Yes, Sathnam had already written about them, the book was published and out there - but for anyone to access their story they have to read the book, they have to invest their time in it. ",
"I was very aware that a TV drama would put their lives on show to be casually viewed - so I wanted to do their lives justice - and the fact that, I understand, Sathnam and his family are happy with the film makes me very relieved.",
"\n\nYou must enable javascript to play content\n\nWatch the trailer\n\nYou are also well known as an actor, at what point did you begin writing too - was it as a result of acting or had you always written side by side with acting? ",
"Do you find the two disciplines complement each other?",
"\n\nMF: I started writing when I was a student - and was a musical director before I took up acting - so my working life has had many different phases - all of which, I think, have helped me understand how dramas work. ",
"Certainly being an actor helps when it comes to empathising with the characters you create - perhaps it also helps with the dialogue; though that’s the last part of the jigsaw - it’s the story that unlocks everything and requires the most work.",
"\n\nOddly, I can’t combine acting and writing - they both occupy my head too much and get in the way of each other.",
"\n\nWhat was the process for writing the script in English and Punjabi?",
"\n\nMF: I learnt Punjabi - no - I simply wrote “in Punjabi” before the lines in question - and, later on, they were translated. ",
"The amount of Punjabi we’d have was always a matter of debate - we didn’t want 70% of the film to be in subtitles - on the other hand Punjabi is spoken in the home - and I think Lynsey Miller, the director, has got the balance spot on.",
"\n\nWhat advice would you pass on to someone starting out now on a screenwriting career? ",
"Has anyone shared any advice with you that you've found particularly useful?",
"\n\nMF: One way or another, whatever the genre, write about what you know - and learn to collaborate. ",
"If you can’t, write novels.",
"\n\nOn Topknot we’ve had a wonderful experience - Nisha and Lynsey have made it feel like everyone’s been pulling together to make the same programme - and there it is - whatever anyone else thinks - what’s been produced is incredibly close to what we had in mind seven years ago when we started out on this project. ",
"That’s a rare thing. ",
"That’s collaboration.",

"There may be growing legislative support for one more Minnesota Vikings stadium idea: Selling the Metrodome to the team for $1.",
"\n\nSen. John Marty, DFL-Roseville, and Rep. Linda Runbeck, R-Circle Pines, have scheduled a press conference for Friday to “present an alternative Minnesota Vikings football stadium plan.”",
"\n\nAlthough details were not known, Marty had recently told a reporter that he and Runbeck were considering a proposal to sell the Metrodome to Vikings owner Zygi Wilf for $1 and simply have Wilf remodel or build a new stadium on the downtown Minneapolis property. ",
"The Vikings have played at the Metrodome since 1982.",
"\n\nIn addition, Rep. Larry Howes, R-Walker, said he too had considered proposing similar legislation with Rep. Steve Drazkowski, R-Mazeppa, but said Thursday he would drop back to see what Marty and Runbeck would unveil. “",
"We were going to do it,” said Howes.",
"\n\n“If we give [the Vikings] the Metrodome for a buck, they can make that into a very good facility that they can make a lot of revenue on,” he added.",
"\n\nThe Vikings however are continuing to focus on a $1.1 billion proposal to build a new stadium in Ramsey County’s Arden Hills. ",
"Under a proposal from the team and Ramsey County, $650 million of the project would be paid for by the state and Ramsey County taxpayers.",
"\n\nThe Metrodome-for-a-dollar proposal is not new. ",
"Former Rep. Paul Kohls, R-Victoria, proposed the same idea more than a year ago. ",
"Said Kohls at the time: “Let’s give it to the Vikings and let them do what they want with it.”"

"Cloning and molecular characterization of the delta6-desaturase from two echium plant species: production of GLA by heterologous expression in yeast and tobacco.",
"\nThe synthesis of GLA (delta6,9,12-1-8:3) is carried out in a number of plant taxa by introducing a double bond at the delta6 position of its precursor, linoleic acid (delta9,12-18:2), through a reaction catalyzed by a delta6-desaturase enzyme. ",
"We have cloned genes encoding the delta6-desaturase (D6DES) from two different Macaronesian Echium species, E. pitardii and E. gentianoides (Boraginaceae), which are characterized by the accumulation of high amounts of GLA in their seeds. ",
"The Echium D6DES genes encode proteins of 438 amino acids bearing the prototypical cytochrome b(5) domain at the N-terminus. ",
"Cladistic analysis of desaturases from higher plants groups the Echium D6DES proteins together with other delta6-desaturases in a different cluster from that of the highly related delta8-desaturases. ",
"Expression analysis carried out in E. pitardii shows a positive correlation between the D6DES transcript level and GLA accumulation in different tissues of the plant. ",
"Although a ubiquitous expression in all organs is observed, the transcript is particularly abundant in developing fruits, whereas a much lower level is present in mature leaves. ",
"Functional characterization of the D6DES gene from E. gentianoides has been achieved by heterologous expression in tobacco plants and in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ",
"In both cases, overexpression of the gene led to the synthesis of GLA. ",
"Biotechnological application of these results can be envisaged as an initial step toward the generation of transgenic oleaginous plants producing GLA."

"However, last month, the group criticized her for being too close to the Occupy Wall Street movement.",
"\n\nWarren has called Crossroads GPS’ new ad “factually wrong and morally wrong.”",
"\n\nWho is funding these attacks? ",
"For its part, Crossroads GPS is not legally required to publicly disclose its donors, but its sister organization — a super PAC known as American Crossroads — is. ",
"And American Crossroads has significant ties to the finance sector and other wealthy business interests.",
"\n\nLarry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, called the pair of Crossroads GPS-produced ads some of the “least effective” ads he has seen.",
"\n\nOpenSecrets Blog. “",
"Given her liberal ideology, a viewer could believe that Warren had some sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, but to make her somehow sympathetic to big bankers and Wall Street? ",
"That strains credulity.” “",
"Rarely do you see such diametrically opposing attacks made by the same group within a short period of time,” Sabato told. “",
"Given her liberal ideology, a viewer could believe that Warren had some sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators, but to make her somehow sympathetic to big bankers and Wall Street? ",
"That strains credulity.”",
"\n\nFor her part, Warren helped create the President Barack Obama’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — a new regulatory body that many finance sector interests spent heavily to oppose Republicans objected to the idea of nominating Warren to lead the new group, which was created as part of the Wall Street Reform legislation signed into law by Obama last year. ",
"Instead, top Democrats recruited her to challenge freshman Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.). ",
"Since launching her U.S. Senate campaign in August, Warren has pulled in more than $3.15 million — with a whopping 57 percent of that sum coming from small-dollar donors who each contributed $200 or less. ",
"According to research by the Center for Responsive Politics, Warren has raised just 3.5 percent of her war chest, or $110,050, from interests in the finance, insurance and real estate sector. ",
"By contrast, the finance, insurance and real estate sector is Brown’s No. ",
"1 supporter. ",
"Since Brown jumped onto the national stage in 2009 when he began running to fill the Senate vacancy created in the wake of Sen. Ted Kennedy’s death, Brown has raised about $23.6 million. ",
"According to the Center’s research, Brown has relied on the finance, insurance and real estate sector for about $1 out of every $8 he’s collected. ",
"The people and political action committees associated with the financial sector have given Brown $2.9 million since 2009. ",
"That’s 12.4 percent of his total war chest. ",
"Nothing is known about the donors to Crossroads GPS, a deep-pocketed organization, that, along with its sister group American Crossroads, plans to spend $240 million during the 2012 election cycle. ",
"But the finance, insurance and real estate sector accounts for $1 out of every $9 that American Crossroads has raised.",
"\n\nAs a so-called super PAC, American Crossroads, which is registered with the Internal Revenue Service as a political committee under section 527 of the U.S. tax code, is legally required to disclose its funders.",
"\n\nLast year, the group raised $28 million, and through September, it has raised another $6.7 million, according to the Center’s analysis of the group’s filings with the IRS and Federal Election Commission.",
"\n\nNo other super PAC raised more.",
"\n\nOf the nearly $34.7 million American Crossroads has raised since its inception in March of last year, $3.8 million has come from the finance, insurance and real estate sector, according to the Center’s research.",
"\n\nThat includes big-dollar contributions such as:\n\nJonathan Collegio, the communications director for both American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, downplayed the groups’ finance sector support when asked about it by OpenSecrets Blog.",
"\n\n“Media reports show that the Crossroads groups have raised more than $95 million since inception last year,” Collegio wrote in an email to OpenSecrets Blog. “",
"So by your calculations, financial services comprise 4 percent of those contributions.”",
"\n\nCollegio also argued that OpenSecrets Blog was “mixing apples and oranges” by examining the finances of American Crossroads and asking whether it was ironic that Crossroads GPS criticized Warren for being too close to the finance sector in an ad.",
"\n\nHe declined to comment about whether Crossroads GPS, which does not publicly disclose its donors, had raised more than zero dollars from interests in the finance, insurance and real estate sector. ",
"He also declined to elaborate on the distinctions between American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS when it comes to producing advertisements and messaging.",
"\n\nOne stunning observation based on the calculations offered by Collegio: If the two Crossroads groups have raised $95 million since March of 2010 and American Crossroads has reported raising $34.7 million to the IRS and FEC, then donors who prefer the anonymity offered by Crossroads GPS have funneled about $60.3 million into the group.",
"\n\nThat’s about two-thirds of the money the two groups have raised.",
"\n\nAnd between January and September alone, the two groups have raised $25 million, the Associated Press reported. ",
"Yet, American Crossroads reported raising just $6.7 million to the FEC during that same time.",
"\n\nThus, nearly three-fourths of the money the two groups have raised this year has been through Crossroads GPS’ dark-money machine.",
"\n\nOther wealthy business interests have also ponied up significant amounts of cash for American Crossroads:\n\nB. Wayne Hughes , the chairman of Public Storage, was American Crossroads’ first official donor. ",
"He has contributed a total of $3.5 million to American Crossroads, according to the Center’s research.",

"\n\n, the president and chief executive officer of Dallas-based Chief Oil and Gas, has given American Crossroads $2 million. ",
"And Texas billionaire Bob Perry, no relation to GOP presidential candidate Rick Perry, alone gave American Crossroads $7 million in 2010 and has given the group $2.5 million so far this year.",
"\n\nCombined, these four men — and their associated companies — account for $21 million of the $34.7 million that American Crossroads has reported raising. ",
"That’s about $3 out of every $5 the group has raised.",
"\n\nCollegio said financial assistance from such wealthy interests did not undermine the organization’s credibility among middle-class families.",
"\n\n“We don’t view entrepreneurs, their businesses and the free enterprise system as opposed to middle-class families,” Collegio told OpenSecrets Blog. “",
"We view them as the engine of job growth that helps middle-class families.”",

"\n\n“Regulating the flow of money has become next to impossible,” Sabato told OpenSecrets Blog.",

"Plants that are Toxic to Pets\n\nSome plants can make your dogs and cats very sick, and some can even be deadly to your pet if ingested. ",
"By being aware of the danger and by taking proper precautions, you can keep your favorite plants and pets safe.",
"\n\nSago palms (also called King palms or King Sago palms)\n\nPets that ingest the leaves, cone or even seeds of the plant can suffer liver damage, liver failure and, in extreme cases, death…due to a toxin called Cycasin that is found in the plant. ",
"We typically see pets get sick one-to-two days after ingestion. ",
"Usual symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and a pronounced lack of appetite.",
"\n\nIn the extreme cases where liver failure does occur, you may see a yellowish, jaundiced appearance to the pet’s skin or the whites of the eyes – showing the result of liver damage.",
"\n\nDogs and Cats and Mushrooms\n\nPets have been known to eat mushrooms in yards and while on walks. ",
"While 99 percent of mushrooms have little or no toxicity, the 1 percent that are highly toxic can cause life-threatening problems in pets. ",
"Take extra care to keep pets away from areas where mushrooms might be growing.",
"\n\nDogs take a special interest in both Amanita phalloides and Inocybe species, possibly because of their fishy odor. ",
"Amanita phalloides is well known to be a deadly species, but Inocybe species and the Clitocybe species that also contain muscarine can be lethal to dogs.",
"\n\nA great many dogs die each year from consuming mushrooms containing amatoxins. ",
"Although cats rarely consume mushrooms, they are particularly attracted to dried Amanita muscaria and Amanita pantherina, sometimes with lethal results. ",
"Symptoms are characterized by a six-to-12 hour delay in symptoms followed by severe GI distress and a refusal to eat or drink.",
"\n\nAmanita phalloides\n\nAmanita pantherina\n\nAmanita muscaria\n\nCats and Lilies\n\nIf you have a cat in your home, use extreme caution when bringing in flowers, bouquets and new plants into your cat-friendly household.",
"\n\nEaster lilies are extremely poisonous to cats, and just one-to-two leaves (and even the pollen) can kill a cat. ",
"Even small ingestions can result in severe kidney failure. (",
"Cats are more common lily poisoning victims than dogs, but they are toxic to both.)",
"\n\nThe Easter Lily is one of many plants of the Lilium and Hemerocallis species that are very poisonous. ",
"Others are commonly known as the Tiger Lily, Stargazer Lily, Day Lily, Asiatic Lily and Japanese Show Lily, and each can cause severe, acute kidney failure in cats.",
"\n\nSigns of poisoning often develop after six hours of exposure, which include vomiting, lack of appetite, lethargy and dehydration. ",
"Untreated, signs worsen as acute kidney failure develops, and signs of not urinating or urinating too frequently, not drinking or excessive thirst, and the inflammation of the pancreas may be seen with lily poisoning. ",
"Rarer signs include walking drunk, disorientation, tremors, and even seizures.",
"\n\nOther Toxic Flora to Pets\n\nOther bouquet favorites are also likely to make your dogs and cats sick if eaten, so keep flower arrangements that include these plants where your pets can’t get to them. ",
"These include Baby’s breath, Bird of Paradise, Carnations, Irises and Peonies.",
"\n\nGorgeous climbing plants, such as Ivy and Wisteria, should be off limits to your dog. ",
"Even medicinal and recreational plants are unsafe, including St. John’s Wort, Aloe, Tobacco and Rhubarb plants. ",
"None of these are good for dogs or cats.",
"\n\nDuring the holidays, note American and English Holly are toxic to animals. ",
"Mistletoe is also poisonous, and Poinsettias can be extremely irritating to the mouth and stomach if ingested. ",
"Fortunately, the unpleasant taste keeps animals from eating a lot of the plant, but it’s best if you keep your pets far away from them.",
"\n\nYou can still keep your favorite flowers inside where you can appreciate their beauty, but lock them away when you’re not at home and keep a close watch when your pets are near them. ",
"Likewise, with outdoor plants, just keep a close eye on a pet playing in the yard.",
"\n\nIt’s not advisable to let pets out unsupervised, and we can’t watch them every second, but you can help keep your pet healthy by knowing which plants and trees are toxic.",
"\n\nBy being aware of the danger and by taking proper precautions, you can keep your favorite plants and your pets safe, too."

"Una de las imágenes que dejará este sexenio en México será la del presidente dando un mensaje en un patio del Palacio Nacional solo. ",
"Con el eco repicando cada palabra. ",
"Si el Papa dio la bendición urbi et orbi en una plaza de San Pedro vacía, Andrés Manuel López Obrador hizo tres cuartas partes de lo mismo con el que se antojaba —hasta entonces— uno de los mensajes más esperados desde que la pandemia del coronavirus se instaló en el país. ",
"Una ilusión, pues lo que recalcó el mandatario mexicano es que nada va a poner el freno a sus deseos de cambios. ",
"La Cuarta Transformación es imparable hasta el punto de que López Obrador ha dicho que la crisis ha venido “como anillo al dedo”, donde todos ven una soga al cuello.",
"\n\nLa omnipresencia de López Obrador es desconcertante. ",
"El mandatario brindó el domingo su cuarto informe trimestral. ",
"Entre uno y otro ha celebrado 90 ‘mañaneras’, su conferencia de prensa diaria, y enviado una media de cuatro vídeos diarios durante los fines de semana, en los que sale de gira por el país. ",
"Nunca la población estuvo aparentemente tan informada y, sin embargo, presa de la confusión. ",
"En el momento en el que se le reclamaban más concesiones, López Obrador se mantuvo impertérrito. ",
"Allí donde muchos vieron una oportunidad perdida para generar confianza, él vio la posibilidad de llevar la conversación a su terreno. ",
"La atención está, de nuevo, en su forma de responder; en las grietas que se han abierto en su gabinete, sobre todo entre los asesores económicos. ",
"En si ha condenado a México al abismo. ",
"Y ahí, el presidente se maneja como nadie, pues no tiene rival en la arena política. ",
"El debate sobre si el país está bien preparado para afrontar la pandemia en materia sanitaria ha quedado en un segundo plano.",
"\n\nEl mensaje que transmitió López Obrador fue claro: nada va a parar su Cuarta Transformación de México. ",
"Ni siquiera la peor pandemia del último siglo, que ha puesto patas arriba la política y la economía de todo el planeta, hará que viren sus intenciones. ",
"No, al menos, de momento. ",
"Ante un posible retroceso, el presidente responde con más de lo mismo. ",
"Rechazó la posibilidad de endeudarse para financiar un programa similar al de otros países, como le reclamaba parte de su Gobierno, lo que ha abierto una grieta que ya es un secreto a voces. “",
"El mensaje da una confirmación formal a lo que parecía ser su postura desde hace unas semanas: presumir la inmovilidad de su programa económico como una virtud”, considera Humberto Beck, profesor e investigador del Centro de Estudios Internacionales del Colegio de México.",
"\n\nPara el analista hay varios aspectos de la postura de López Obrador —su rechazo a “rescatar a los empresarios” o a seguir recetas “neoliberales”— que tienen antecedentes históricos que los hacen explicables, “como la opacidad en el rescate bancario del Fobaproa [un fondo de contigencia creado en los noventa] o la larga y problemática historia de México con la deuda externa”. “",
"Pero estamos en tiempos de crisis sin precedentes, que demandan nuevas ideas y formas de concebir los problemas. ",
"Este último aspecto me parece una ausencia en el discurso presidencial”, añade el politólogo mexicano. ",
"La claridad, a su juicio, convive con cierta contradicción: “La rigidez de su postura ante la crisis confirma otra cosa: que de una manera extraña, una parte sobresaliente de su programa termina coincidiendo con aspectos importantes de la ortodoxia neoliberal, sobre todo en los temas de gasto público”. ",
"Pocas horas después de su mensaje, López Obrador defendió en su conferencia de prensa matutina que su Gobierno se ha anticipado “al derrumbe del modelo neoliberal que provocó el coronavirus”.",
"\n\nLa forma en que López Obrador ha afrontado la pandemia hace semanas que levantó ampollas. ",
"Fueron polémicas sus giras cuando las autoridades sanitarias comenzaron a recomendar que se guardase una “sana distancia” entre las personas: el presidente viajó a Guerrero y Oaxaca, dos de los Estados más frágiles económicamente, donde es previsible que la población se vea más afectada y repartió abrazos sin freno. ",
"Se le criticó cuando sacó dos estampitas que decían que le protegían del virus: “Son mis guardaespaldas”. ",
"O con una serie de declaraciones que dieron la impresión de que minimizaba la fuerza de la pandemia: “Tengo mucha fe. ",
"No nos van a hacer nada los infortunios, las pandemias”; “si estuviera angustiado, si la situación estuviese fuera de control, lo diría. ",
"Estoy tranquilo”; “eso de que no hay que abrazarse, no pasa nada”; “los mexicanos por nuestra cultura somos muy resistentes a todas las calamidades”; “no dejen de salir, todavía estamos en la primera fase, yo les voy a decir cuándo no salgan”.",
"\n\n“Las posturas de no suspender las giras o aplicar más medidas de contención igual no son las más correctas, pero son entendibles, porque como presidente de México es razonable que sienta que tiene un margen de decisión que varía dependiendo de las circunstancias nacionales”, apunta Beck. ",
"El presidente, no queda claro si por necesidad o convicción, ya ha ido dejando atrás todos esos gestos incómodos.",
"\n\nHace 10 días, instó por primera vez a los ciudadanos a quedarse en sus casas. ",
"Lo hizo a través de un vídeo en el que hacía referencia a una serie de informes que le habían trasladado los expertos. “",
"A mí me da la impresión de que ese discurso era el de alguien que estaba diciendo unas cosas que le habían dicho que tenía que decir”, apunta el director del Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Universidad de Stanford, el mexicano Alberto Díaz-Cayeros, para quien López Obrador ha perdido una gran oportunidad. “",
"En los procesos de toma de decisiones es crucial que haya una sintonía para que todo el mundo pueda saber lo que ocurre y saber que todos saben. ",
"López Obrador tenía una oportunidad increíble de crear un punto focal y la ha perdido”, añade Díaz-Cayeros, quien ve como explicación que el mandatario ha reaccionado con base a un exceso de confianza, de seguridad, en sí mismo. “",
"Muchos tomadores de decisiones responden de la misma manera, teniendo en cuenta que hasta el momento les ha ido bien, por el conocimiento que tienen del país. ",
"O porque en el pasado han sentido que les ha funcionado”.",
"\n\nNingún político mexicano en lo que va de siglo ni en las décadas finales del XX conoce México como López Obrador. ",
"Ha dado varias vueltas al país y ha sabido como nadie responder a los reclamos de unos y otros, hasta lograr la victoria presidencial más rotunda de la historia reciente de México. ",
"Desde el 1 de julio de 2018 no ha hecho si no navegar con viento a favor. ",
"Anuncio tras anuncio, siempre en positivo, aunque este fuese una calamidad para no pocos, como el caso de la cancelación del aeropuerto de la ciudad de México. ",
"Sin embargo, en las últimas semanas se ha topado con la necesidad de comunicar malas noticias y ha quedado en cierta manera al descubierto.",
"\n\n“No ha logrado pegarle a la fibra sensible del mexicano”, afirma Díaz-Cayeros, en la misma línea que Humberto Beck: “Estamos viendo los límites de su carisma. ",
"Incluso con las estampitas, muchos de sus seguidores se sintieron desamparados. ",
"No ha logrado salirse con el ingenio y la simpatía popular”. ",
"El politólogo del Colegio de México ahonda en lo paradójico que resulta que haya cedido el protagonismo del combate al coronavirus al subsecretario de Salud, Hugo López-Gatell, “un técnico, su némesis”. ",
"Más allá, el anuncio más importante en materia sanitaria, la declaración de estado de emergencia, lo cedió al canciller, Marcelo Ebrard, que ha fungido como el hombre fuerte del Gobierno en todas las crisis que se han desatado, independientemente de que estas tuvieran que ver con su cargo de canciller o no.",
"\n\nAnte este escenario, el mandatario mexicano ha reaccionado llevando a todos sus adversarios al escenario de la confrontación, donde se mueve sin rival y donde ha conseguido alejar las dudas. ",
"Ha vuelto a recurrir a la idea de que todo aquel que le critica responde a una lógica conservadora, refractarios al cambio. ",
"Cuando se le ha cuestionado por qué no quiere hacerse la prueba de coronavirus, su reacción ha sido insinuar que sus críticos quieren beneficiarse de un hipotético “vacío político”. “",
"Se imagina como un protagonista en la continuidad de una lucha histórica de larga duración entre liberales y conservadores”, considera Beck, quien argumenta que buena parte del proceder de López Obrador responde a su asunción de figura histórica, vinculada a la lectura de la historia mexicana y latinoamericana “que le ha proveído en gran medida de los lentes con los que se percibe a sí mismo”. “",
"Tiene muy en cuenta, por lo tanto, que esa historia ha sido una historia de conflicto y guerras civiles y tiene por eso una sensibilidad quizás exacerbada, probablemente distorsionada, a interpretar a sus críticos y adversarios en esos términos: si él es el heredero de Hidalgo, Juárez y Madero, por lógica los otros tendrían que ser los herederos de los adversarios de la Independencia, la Reforma o la Revolución. ",
"Más todavía, se lee a sí mismo en términos del siglo XX latinoamericano y los repetidos, y dolorosos, tropiezos de la izquierda en ese período, muy notablemente los golpes de Estado contra Jacobo Árbenz en Guatemala y, sobre todo, Salvador Allende en Chile. ",
"Tiene la convicción de que una tendencia profunda de la dinámica histórica latinoamericana es el sabotaje de las iniciativas políticas democráticas de la izquierda, tanto para evitar su llegada al poder como para sacarlo después de haber triunfado”.",
"\n\n“La visión del mundo de López Obrador, que no tiene interés en salir del país, que no tiene mayor visión de cosmopolitismo, influyó en cómo ha afrontado la crisis. ",
"Tiene ideas viejas respecto a cómo México está inmerso en un mundo global”, añade a este respecto Díaz-Cayeros. ",
"Uno de los episodios más significativos de esta crisis es que por primera vez desde que asumió el poder, el presidente mexicano ha participado en una reunión del G20, los principales líderes mundiales. ",
"En su intervención, apeló a la “fraternidad universal”, un concepto que retrotrae a la mitad del siglo pasado.",
"\n\nMéxico encara la fase tres de la pandemia con la convicción de que su presidente, el primero que se dice de izquierdas que gobierna el país de habla hispana más grande del mundo, la segunda economía de América Latina, no va a ceder un ápice en lograr los objetivos de su Cuarta Transformación. ",
"Con la duda de si su voluntad de dejar huella en la historia es compatible con la temporalidad de la crisis. ",
"Lo resume Humberto Beck así: “Ha esbozado una idea coherente de nación, pero no parece ser la mejor para reaccionar a la crisis. ",
"Un gran político debe responder a la nación y a la emergencia. ",
"Aún hay margen”."

"AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Dutch prosecutors on Friday said they have arrested three former employees of a Dutch company suspected of laundering about $1.2 billion for a client in India.",
"\n\nThe company bought materials and services for a client that since 2006 has been involved in a major gas pipeline project in India, the prosecutors said without identifying the businesses.",
"\n\nThe three are accused of forging invoices for the Indian company, enabling it to charge its own gas customers twice.",
"\n\nThe proceeds were then allegedly transferred through a web of international businesses to a company in Singapore, owned by the Indian client.",
"\n\nThe three, who were arrested on Tuesday and will be brought before a court on Friday, are believed to have received around $10 million for forging documents and organizing the money laundering.",
"\n\n“Facilitation of the laundering of billions originating abroad by Dutch companies is a serious matter”, the prosecutors said.",
"\n\n“The losers were probably individual citizens in India, as the costs for the production of gas are passed on to the consumer.”"

"Cis-acting elements stimulating kinetoplastid guide RNA-directed editing.",
"\nThe coding sequence of several mitochondrial mRNAs of the kinetoplastid protozoa is created through the insertion and deletion of specific uridylates. ",
"The editing reactions are required to be highly specific in order to ensure that functional open reading frames are created in edited mRNAs and that potentially deleterious modification of normally nonedited sequence does not occur. ",
"Selection-amplification and mutagenesis were previously used to identify the optimal sequence requirements for in vitro editing. ",
"There is, however, a minority of natural editing sites with suboptimal sequence. ",
"Several cis-acting elements, obtained from an in vitro selection, are described here that are able to compensate for a suboptimal editing site. ",
"An A + U sequence element within the 5'-untranslated region of cytochrome b mRNA from Leishmania tarentolae is also demonstrated to function as a cis-acting guide RNA and is postulated to compensate for a suboptimal editing site in vivo. ",
"Two proteins within an enriched editing extract are UV-cross-linked to two different in vitro selected editing substrates more efficiently than poorly edited RNAs. ",
"The results suggest that these proteins contribute to the specificity of the editing reaction."

"Monday, December 29, 2008\n\nI have made a concerted effort to ride over the last few days and have managed to get some kilometers into the legs, even while feasting on turkey, ham and beer over the christmas weekend. ",
"After a slow start to the month, which saw some niggling physical issues (shoulder), a lot of rain, and that whole christmas party social whirl I've managed just over 370km so far. ",
"Almost half of that has been in the last few days.",
"\n\nThat brings my annual total perilously close to 4000k but unless I bunk off work in the next few days I'm not going to get much closer.",
"\n\nGiven that I'm not in a position to commute I am however pretty happy with the first year of logging my distance and will keep it up in the future. ",
"I like the incentive, and the encouragement!",
"\n\nCuriously, while I've always found it difficult to find time to ride, my annual total, translates into 170 hours, or just over a week actually on the bike over the last twelve months. ",
"That doesn't seem like a lot of time really. ",
"The longest single ride was 362km.",
"\n\nFriday, December 5, 2008\n\nI managed to arrange the day off today so got a quick 60km in this morning and a ride up Mt Keira so things are looking up after a nearly cycle empty November.",
"\n\nI needed a new back tyre on the Roubaix as the Vittorio Rubino Pro Slicks that came with it was proving to be very puncture prone and stopping every 15 or so Kms was frustrating my riding to a certain extent. ",
"The brains trust hereabouts recommended the Schwalbe Stelvio so one of those went on last night and seems to work pretty well."

"Voice communications over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) have traditionally been limited in bandwidth to the frequency range of 300-3400 kHz. ",
"New networks for voice communications, such as cellular telephony and voice over IP (VoIP), may not have the same bandwidth limits, and it may be desirable to transmit and receive voice communications that include a wideband frequency range over such networks. ",
"For example, it may be desirable to support an audio frequency range that extends down to 50 Hz and/or up to 7 or 8 kHz. ",
"It may also be desirable to support other applications, such as high-quality audio or audio/video conferencing, that may have audio speech content in ranges outside the traditional PSTN limits.",
"\nExtension of the range supported by a speech coder into higher frequencies may improve intelligibility. ",
"For example, the information that differentiates fricatives such as ‘s’ and ‘f’ is largely in the high frequencies. ",
"Highband extension may also improve other qualities of speech, such as presence. ",
"For example, even a voiced vowel may have spectral energy far above the PSTN limit.",
"\nIn conducting research on wideband speech signals, the inventors have occasionally observed pulses of high energy, or “bursts”, in the upper part of the spectrum. ",
"These highband bursts typically last only a few milliseconds (typically 2 milliseconds), with a maximum length of about 3 milliseconds, may span up to several kilohertz (kHz) in frequency, and occur apparently randomly during different types of speech sounds, both voiced and unvoiced. ",
"For some speakers, a highband burst may occur in every sentence, while for other speakers such bursts may not occur at all. ",
"While these events do not generally occur frequently, they do seem to be ubiquitous, as the inventors have found examples of them in wideband speech samples from several different databases and from several other sources.",
"\nHighband bursts have a wide frequency range but typically only occur in the higher band of the spectrum, such as the region from 3.5 to 7 kHz, and not in the lower band. ",
"For example, FIG. ",
"1 shows a spectrogram of the word ‘can’. ",
"In this wideband speech signal, a highband burst may be seen at 0.1 seconds extending across a wide frequency region around 6 kHz (in this figure, darker regions indicate higher intensity). ",
"It is possible that at least some highband bursts are generated by an interaction between the speaker's mouth and the microphone and/or are due to clicks emitted by the speaker's mouth during speech."

"Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of Some New Substituted Quinoxalines.",
"\nA number of new symmetrically and asymmetrically 2,3-disubstituted quinoxalines were synthesized through functionalization of 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline (2,3-DCQ) with a variety of sulfur and/or nitrogen nucleophiles. ",
"The structures of the obtained compounds were established based on their spectral data and elemental analysis. ",
"The antimicrobial activity for the prepared compounds was investigated against four bacterial species and two fungal strains. ",
"The symmetrically disubstituted quinoxalines 2, 3, 4, and 5 displayed the most significant antibacterial activity, while compounds 6a, 6b, and the pentacyclic compound 10 showed considerable antifungal activity. ",
"Furthermore, compounds 3f, 6b showed broad antimicrobial spectrum against most of the tested strains."

"The BBC Trust has ruled that Radio 4's Today programme breached rules on accuracy, after presenter John Humphrys referred to the occupied Golan Heights as being part of Israel.",
"\n\nHumphrys made the comment during a programme on the annual Nakba Day protests – when Palestinian and other Arab protesters march on land held by Israel but where boundaries and borders are in dispute.",
"\n\nIn the programme, which was broadcast on 16 May 2011, Humphrys referred to protesters having \"actually crossed over the border into Israel\" when marching into the Golan Heights.",
"\n\nIn its ruling published on Tuesday, the BBC Trust's editorial standards committee (ESC) noted that the Today programme has a \"good record of being duly accurate and impartial\" in its coverage of the Middle East.",
"\n\nHowever, it also said that a \"devil's advocate\" approach by Humphrys was not \"a reason for the lack of clarity over the status of the Golan Heights, which could have been clarified during the interview or in the scripted introduction\".",
"\n\nThe ESC concluded that the Today programme had breached guidelines on accuracy for implying the Golan Heights were part of Israel.",
"\n\n\"The committee was satisfied, however, that this breach of the guidelines was inadvertent and was not knowingly misleading,\" it said. \"",
"The committee did not consider that this breach of the accuracy guidelines raised any issues in relation to impartiality.\"",
"\n\nA complaint was made to the BBC that the Golan Heights and Majdal Shams, the main village involved in the protests, was in fact \"occupied\" Syrian territory and not part of Israel as Humphrys asserted on two occasions.",
"\n\nThe complainant said that the implication of Humphrys's comments was that Israeli military forces potentially had the right to use force because they were defending their territory.",
"\n\nHe said this view was backed by the comments of Mark Regev, an Israeli government spokesman who was interviewed during the programme, who said that \"there were thousands on the border with Syria trying to break into Israel\".",
"\n\nAccording to the BBC Trust investigation into the programme, 12 people were killed and dozens injured in the Nakba Day protests in 2011.",
"\n\nBBC management said that Humphrys was \"reflecting on why Israeli forces thought they could defend their actions\" and that this was not a case of bias but \"opening a topic for discussion\".",
"\n\nHowever, the complainant pointed out that the BBC's own news website covering the same story acknowledged that the Golan Heights was \"occupied\" territory by Israel since 1967.",
"\n\nThe issue was passed from BBC management to the trust on 30 May last year. ",
"The BBC Trust noted that a range of news outlets – including Israeli paper Ha'aretz, the Guardian, Daily Mail and Associated Press – referred to the incident as a clash on the border with Syria.",
"\n\n• To contact the MediaGuardian news desk email editor@mediaguardian.co.uk or phone 020 3353 3857. ",
"For all other inquiries please call the main Guardian switchboard on 020 3353 2000. ",
"If you are writing a comment for publication, please mark clearly \"for publication\".",

"USS Monongahela (AO-42)\n\nThe second USS Monongahela (AO-42) was a (Mattaponi subclass) in the United States Navy which saw service during World War II and the Korean War. ",
"She was the second U.S. Navy ship named for the Monongahela River in West Virginia and Pennsylvania.",
"\n\nThe ship was built in 1942 as the commercial oil tanker ElKay, a type T2-A tanker, by the Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co. in Chester, Pennsylvania as hull number 227 and USMC number 158. ",
"Acquired by the United States Navy from the Maritime Commission on 31 July 1942, she was commissioned at Norfolk, Virginia, on 11 September 1942, Capt. ",
"Thomas H. Bell in command.",
"\n\nService history\n\n1942–1950\nAssigned to the Pacific Fleet, Monongahela departed Norfolk in November 1942 for Aruba, Netherlands West Indies, where she loaded oil and then steamed to Nouméa, New Caledonia, via the Panama Canal to supply American forces engaged in the struggle for Guadalcanal. ",
"For the next year, the tanker shuttled fuel oil, aviation gasoline, diesel oil, various dry cargoes, and ammunition between San Pedro, California, and Allied supply bases in the Solomons, New Caledonia, and New Zealand as part of the long seaborne pipeline supplying fuel for victory in the South Pacific. ",
"In January 1944, following a stateside overhaul and a Pearl Harbor fuel run, the big auxiliary joined the 5th Fleet support group for the invasion of the Marshall Islands, supplying various ships and small bases at Kwajalein, Eniwetok, and Majuro as those atolls were captured during the campaign.",
"\n\nIn March 1944, Monongahela joined the At-Sea-Replenishment Group for Fast Carrier Task Force 58, for the remainder of the war operating continuously with the fast carriers, participating in every major central Pacific operation from the Hollandia, New Guinea, invasion in April 1944 to the invasion of Okinawa a year later. ",
"The oiler supported the flattops during the second strikes on Truk, the invasion of the Marianas, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the Palaus invasion, the Leyte campaign, and the liberation of the Philippines. ",
"In November 1944, she was one of those oilers in Capt. ",
"Jasper T. Acuff's At-Sea-Refueling Group that made the perilous run through Surigao Strait into the East China Sea to refuel Admiral William F. Halsey's 3rd Fleet/TF 38 during its raids on the Indochinese and China coasts. ",
"The ship also supported the invasions of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, narrowly escaping damage from suicide air attacks at Kerama Retto, on 16 April 1945. ",
"At the end of the Okinawa operation in June, Monongahela steamed to San Francisco for a much needed overhaul which was still in progress when hostilities ceased on 15 August.",
"\n\nFollowing the war, the auxiliary remained active in the Pacific, participating in the occupation of Japan and operations in China in 1945-46 and then giving support to Pacific Fleet ships and stations for five years, decommissioning at San Diego on 9 June 1950.",
"\n\n1951–1959\nThe veteran tanker recommissioned on 9 January 1951 for the Korean War. ",
"Assigned to the Military Sea Transportation Service, Monongahela remained active in the Pacific, supplying U.N. forces in the Far East, until transferred to the Atlantic Fleet in March 1953, joining the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean for extended operations 13 months later. ",
"On 9 June 1955, the ship arrived at Philadelphia where she decommissioned the next day and was placed in reserve.",
"\n\nThe ship once again recommissioned as part of MSTS on 28 December 1956, operating along the Atlantic coast for eight months and then decommissioning on 22 August 1957 to enter the Maritime Administration's Reserve Fleet, at Beaumont, Texas. ",
"She was stricken from the Navy List on 1 February 1959, and sold for scrapping on 25 March 1982 to Eckhard and Co., Brownsville, Texas.",
"\n\nAwards\nMonongahela received ten battle stars for World War II service, and two battle stars for Korean War service.",

"ViaWest Opens Huge Denver Data Center\n\nViaWest has opened its fifth Denver-area data center. ",
"The Compark facility — the first greenfield construction project the provider has ever undertaken — is a 210,000 square foot building with 140,000 square feet of raised floor.",
"\n\nViaWest announced it was building the latest Denver facility in October of last year, as well as its intentions to go after Uptime Institute certification, which it is in the process of doing. ",
"The company was the first colocation provider to achieve Tier IV Design Certification from Uptime for its Lone Mountain facility in Las Vegas.",
"\n\nCompark, located in Englewood, Colorado, was built using the Lone Mountain template, except that it’s double in scale. ",
"Lone Mountain is a 9 megawatt data center, while Compark has 18 megawatts.",
"\n\n“The biggest differentiator across the entire data center fleet is that it’s our first purpose-built data center,” said Todd Gale, vice president of data center architecture and innovation at ViaWest. “",
"It was our first greenfield project. ",
"It was an excellent experience and will be our model going forward in the near term. ",
"We have two expansions in planning stages in existing markets that will be purpose-built as well.”",
"\n\nThe company decided to build the facility from scratch because it could not find a building in the area that would fit its needs.",
"\n\nViaWest will offer cloud computing, wholesale and retail colocation and managed services in the new facility, which resides just east of Centennial Airport.",
"\n\nCompark construction project facts:\n\nTotal project investment for ViaWest at full build-out and full capacity will be more than $100 million.",
"\n\nViaWest customer investment in IT equipment (i.e. servers, racks, storage devices, etc.) ",
"will represent between $500 million and $1 billion.",
"\n\nMore than 30 contractors were involved across several disciplines, including design, general construction, electrical and mechanical. ",
"This represents a combined workforce of more than 600 people.",
"\n\nMore than 43,000 cubic yards of earth were moved to prepare the site for the structure.",
"\n\nThe construction effort alone required more than 15,000 hours of labor.",
"\n\nColorado data center activity\n\nColorado, ViaWest’s home state, has seen a lot of activity in recent years and is a growing hub for enterprise and technology companies. ",
"Its low-risk geography is good for both production and disaster recovery needs. ",
"It also offers a talented tech workforce.",
"\n\nThe data center provider has experienced a lot of demand in the Denver area, which is why it decided to make such a large investment in capacity there. “",
"We’re at capacity at the other four [local] facilities and we’re seeing strong demand in Colorado,” Gale said. ",
"There are also many companies from outside of the state that are looking at Denver as a disaster recovery location with low utility rates and small chances of natural disaster.",
"\n\nThere’s been a slew of activity in Colorado. ",
"Other providers in the market include Fortrust, which recently added more capacity in Denver, taking a modular approach to growth using IO.Anywhere modules. ",
"There are also CoreSite realty, which operates the Any2 Denver peering exchange, and Latisys, which built a second Denver facility in 2011 in nearby Englewood.",
"\n\nAlso in Englewood, OneNeck IT is building a $20 million greenfield data center to serve the Denver area.",
"\n\nThere’s also a lot of action just an hour’s drive down I-25 S, in Colorado Springs. ",
"Atlanta-based T5 is planning a massive $800 million data center campus situated on 64 acres of land with up to 100 megawatts of available power.",
"\n\nColorado Springs has been competing in the state through tax incentives, cheap power rates and a friendly business atmosphere. ",
"Verizon Wireless, HP, FedEx, T. Rowe Price, Progressive, HP, Intel, Wal-Mart and FedEx have big facilities there.",
"\n\nGet Daily Email News from DCK!",
"\n\nAbout the Author\n\nJason Verge is an Editor/Industry Analyst on the Data Center Knowledge team with a strong background in the data center and Web hosting industries. ",
"In the past he’s covered all things Internet Infrastructure, including cloud (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS), mass market hosting, managed hosting, enterprise IT spending trends and M&A. He writes about a range of topics at DCK, with an emphasis on cloud hosting.",
"\n\nViaWest announced it is building a 210,000 gross square foot data center in the southeast of Denver, which will be designed to achieve Uptime Institute Design Certification for Tier IV status. ",
"Read More\n\nViaWest recently opened the doors at its new Lone Mountain Data Center in north Las Vegas. ",
"The Lone Mountain facility is the first Tier IV designed colocation facility in North America, according to the Uptime Institute. ",
"Check out our photo feature for details. ",

"6 Amazing Things We Ate at Corner of Lechon and Craft\n\n(SPOT.ph) On October 28 and 29, Mercato Centrale held their deadliest food fest yet: Corner of Lechon and Craft. ",
"More than 20 local brewers showcased their finest beer while Mercato’s regular food merchants brought their own twist to our favorite roast pig. ",
"We round up some of the most interesting things we tried.",
"\n\n63 North Brewing Company’s Green Mango Gose\n\n63 North Brewing Company, named after the apartment unit where they first started brewing, is unafraid to experiment with exciting flavor combinations in their brews. ",
"Their special beer for Corner of Lechon and Craft, the Green Mango Gose, is a brew that interprets the sweet-salty taste of green mango and bagoong. ",
"While it's a flavor combination one wouldn’t usually expect from beer, it pairs really well with lechon.",
"\n\nWith flavors like Puto Bumbong, Bicol Express,and Halo Halo, Great Islands Craft Brewery’s selection of beers on display was hard to ignore. ",
"Their microbrewers began brewing in 2009 and haven’t stopped since, producing flavors that are inspired by local cuisine, culture and landmarks. ",
"Their Halo Halo beer is a sweet brew with layered hints of different flavors reminiscent of the traditional Filipino dessert. ",
"It goes down smoothly and is easy to drink, even for those new to craft beer. ",
"Be careful though: with its 7.9% alcohol content, you’ll definitely feel the effects after a bottle or two.",
"\n\nCraftpoint Brewing Co. prides itself in experimenting with all kinds of flavors to explore the endless possibilities of what beer could be. ",
"Their Liberation and Revolution beers are favorites among craft beer enthusiasts for being as bold as their names imply. ",
"And for Corner of Lechon and Craft, they offered the Pandan Porter, a refreshing brew with hints of tanglad flavor. ",
"It’s the perfect partner to lechon and sisig. (",
"They’re also planning a Beer Explorers subscription program for the adventurous beer drinker, so that’s something to watch for!)",
"\n\nEats Meats West’s special \"trick or treat\" burger is anything but scary. ",
"In fact, you wouldn’t want to do anything but take this beauty away with you while it's still warm and fresh off the grill. ",
"For Halloween and the night’s lechon fest, Eats Meats West’s Lechon Con Salsa Burger is a beautiful marriage of Filipino and Mexican flavors. ",
"A juicy lechon patty is topped with bagnet bits, salsa, guacamole and sour cream for the perfect blend of salty, sour and spicy flavors. ",
"Definitely perfect with a bottle of ice-cold beer.",
"\n\nLike their name implies, Timplador de Cebu’s Boneless Lechon is all about timpla or flavor. ",
"Their lechon comes in two variants, regular and spicy, and filled with tasty stuffing. ",
"Their meat can stand on its own even without the usual lechon sarsa, but if you find that you still miss dipping your lechon in something, Timplador recommends their signature vinegar to cut through the salty, rich deliciousness.",
"\n\nWhile not exactly lechon, sisig still fits the criteria of salty fatty pork that pairs really well with ice-cold beer. ",
"Texas Roasters plays around with this local favorite by adding it to their classic Angus beef burgers. ",
"Their Pinoy Sisig Burger is so bad for you, but so irresistible. ",
"The best burgers will make a mess, and this one’s no exception. ",
"A juicy Angus beef patty is topped with sisig, onions, cheese and a sunny-side up egg for a gigantic burger that’s the perfect blend of salty, succulent, and deliciously crunchy."

"Comparative study].",
"\nDigital cephalometric radiography with light-emitting phosphors was performed on 15 patients during an orthodontic survey. ",
"Lateral views were performed; digital post-processing was carried out according to 3 different sets of characteristic variables (analogic-like, Xeroradiography-like and custom-made). ",
"Comparative cephalometric film radiographs were performed on another group of 15 patients matched for age and clinical problems. ",
"All the digital and conventional images were evaluated by 3 independent observers, who scored 0-2 the visibility of 16 cephalometric landmarks. ",
"Digital cephalometric radiography always provided good and clear images, which were easy to read by every observer, thanks to contrast optimization in the digital technique and to the possibility of interactive post-processing that could improve the lowest-quality images. ",
"The visibility study of 16 cephalometric landmarks resulted in a moderately higher score for film cephalography than for the digital technique (79.6/96 versus 78.1/96). ",
"Among digital post-processing variables, the customized curve gave the best results (mean score: 78.8/96). ",
"Digital cephalometric radiography allowed marked reduction in radiation dose (approximately 30-40% of conventional radiographs). ",
"This is a major factor when considering the widespread use of this technique and the young age of most patients."

"Truce of Shamkor\n\nThe Truce of Shamkor was a truce agreed to by King George VII of Georgia and Timur, ruler of Timurid Empire on September 1401, which lasted for few months. ",
"In late 1401, Timur invaded the Kingdom of Georgia once again. ",
"George VII had to sue for peace, and sent his brother, Constantine with the contributions. ",
"Timur was preparing for a major confrontation with the Ottoman dynasty and apparently wished to freeze the currently prevailing situation in Georgia, until he could return to deal with it more decisively and thoroughly at his leisure.",
"\n\nThus, he made peace with George on several terms:\n\n Georgia would pay annual tribute;\n provide troops for Timur;\n allow Timur's armies transit;\n special privileges for Muslims;\n not practise Christianity on Muslim territory.",
"\n\nTimur gave the Georgian ambassadors fine gowns and a good send-off, pleased that ‘the obstinate have put their heads into the yoke of submission’. ",
"Timur nonetheless undertook some preventive measures and broke the treaty: attacked the Georgian garrison of Tortumi, demolishing the citadel and looting the surrounding area.",

"Monster Hunter Freedom 2\n\nMonster Hunter Freedom 2 is a PlayStation Portable video game and sequel to Monster Hunter Freedom, it is largely based on its PlayStation 2 predecessor Monster Hunter 2, which was never released outside Japan. ",
"\nMonster Hunter Freedom 2 is not a direct port of Monster Hunter 2 but instead a portable update of the Monster Hunter series. ",
"New features have been added while others were removed to make the game appropriate for its portable platform. ",
"It was released in North America on August 28, 2007. ",
"Its Japanese counterpart is called .",
"\n\nAn expanded version of the game, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, was released in North America on June 22, 2009.",
"\n\nGameplay\nMost Quests in Monster Hunter Freedom 2 involve killing one or two 'Boss' class monsters. ",
"Smaller quests at the beginning will involve gathering items and killing small creatures.",
"\n\nQuests are generally divided into three difficulty levels: those from the Village Chief, known as 'Elder' quests; those for a lower Hunter Rank (HR3 or lower) from the Guild; those for hunters who have obtained higher Hunter Ranks (HR4 or above), also from the Guild, and lastly there are Treasure hunting Quests given by Treshi the Treasure Hunter. ",
"Hunters can always accept quests that are available for the same or lower Hunter Rank, but cannot take quests or join quests initiated by other higher Ranked players, unless they have the required Hunter Rank (i.e. if an HR5 player initiates a quest requiring an HR of 4, HRs 4, 5 and 6 may join while HRs 1, 2 and 3 may not). ",
"There are also quests offered by the village's Training School. ",
"Quests offered by the Training school require no items or equipment; pre-made equipment and item sets are supplied. ",
"Treasure hunting quests are gathering quests with rare items that you cannot keep but are awarded points to add to your ending score, which you are rewarded for.",
"\n\nThe quests that are taken from the Village Elder are quests specific to single player, so they are also sometimes considered \"lower\" rank quests. ",
"Monsters inside these quests are weakened in terms of their hit points to suit a single hunter quest, but they only offer basic materials that can only create weapons of lower rarity.",
"\n\nLower Hunter Rank quests from the guild offers the same materials as Elder quests, but they allow up to 4 Hunters via ad-hoc play or XLink Kai. ",
"Monsters have slightly increased hit points in this type of quest.",
"\n\nHigher Hunter Rank quests are considered the most difficult in the game, and are the equivalent of 'G' rank missions in Monster Hunter Freedom and Monster Hunter G. Besides considerable hitpoint increases, monsters have greatly increased damage and can feature new attack moves, making them harder to defeat. ",
"Many of the rarest materials can only be found in this type of quest. ",
"These rare materials can be used to create rare and powerful equipment that can kill monsters easier, but in return you will start in a random area and supplies will not be delivered until the battle is nearly done.",
"\n\nDownloadable quests often provide special materials that can create bonus equipment that cannot be created otherwise.",
"\n\nReception\n\nMonster Hunter Freedom 2 received \"average\" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.",
"\n\nAs of March 31, 2008, the game has sold 2.15 million copies, according to Capcom. ",
"As of July 9, 2008, the game has sold 1,701,980 copies in Japan, according to Famitsu. ",
"As of January 4, 2009, the re-release of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G under the \"Best\" brand, has sold 271,000 copies in Japan. ",
"Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G was the best-selling game of Japan in 2008, selling 2,452,111 in that year (expect \"PSP the Best\"), beating other major titles such as Pokémon Platinum and Wii Fit. ",
" Famitsu also gave the 2nd G version a score of all four nines for a total of 36 out of 40.",

"\n\n\n\nBitcoin Futures Hits Record Highs 4 Days Running\n\nCME saw a record volume of USD 1.6 billion and record open interest for Bitcoin contracts of USD 373 million, on June 26, 2019.",
"\n\nThe value of BTC rose to almost USD 14,000, causing short traders to liquidate over half a billion dollars in a single day.",
"\n\n> $500 mln liquidated in last 24h – mostly on the sell side. ",
"Longs could be more leveraged than shorts as some shorts might be used without leverage to create synthetic dollars. ",
"pic.twitter.com/ER8iYmk2nz — skew (@skew_markets) June 27, 2019\n\nAt the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Bitcoin futures trading activity has been growing spectacularly in recent months, with institutional traders showing increasing interest. ",
"On June 20, 2019, CME reported,\n\nCME Bitcoin futures open interest reaches a record for a fourth consecutive day, with 5,827 contracts traded on June 20 (29,135 equivalent bitcoin; ~$280M notional) and a 25% increase from last Friday.",

"According to Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) data, big money traders, such as hedge fund managers, have been taking bearish positions. ",
"The Wall Street Journal reports,\n\nHedge funds and other money managers held about 14% more bearish ‘short’ positions in CME bitcoin futures last week than they did bullish ‘long’ positions, according to a recent Commodity Futures Trading Commission report.",
"\n\nSo, when on June 26, 2019, the cryptocurrency neared the USD 14,000 mark, traders who had taken short positions were forced to execute massive liquidations.",
"\n\nSmall Investors Remain Bullish\n\nHedge managers and other large traders have been bearish on BTC since February 2019. ",
"However, a bearish position taken by a hedge fund manager does not necessarily mean a bet against the cryptocurrency, as The Wall Street Journal explains,\n\nSuch data don’t necessarily mean hedge funds are placing outright bets that bitcoin will drop. ",
"The short bets could also be part of hedging strategies: for instance, a fund with a portfolio of bitcoins might go short at CME as insurance against the value of bitcoin dropping.",
"\n\nMoreover, positive signals about BTC continue to abound. ",
"For example, small investors remain bullish. ",
"According to The Wall Street Journal report, traders with fewer than 25 BTC contracts hold long positions outnumbering short bets by four to one.",
"\n\nWhat do you think about the latest Bitmex liquidation figures? ",

"\n\n“A failure to put a price on carbon actually leads us to some real difficulties,” he said referring to dramatic swings in weather conditions experienced across North America.",
"\n\nEarlier this month, Finance Minister Charles Sousa said the government wasn’t planning to include a carbon tax in the upcoming spring budget.",
"\n\nIn the paper Murray stressed the importance of tackling climate to reduce greenhouse gases attributed to global warming and told the news conference there is no “greater threat” to mankind than climate change.",

"Murray said it will take another six months of working with business, the environmental community and other experts to design a carbon pricing policy.",
"\n\n“If this is going to be a net economic benefit and it is not going to download costs onto Ontario families and businesses, it has to have a mechanism that is part of an overall government strategy that increases productivity, which means higher levels of investment in innovation technology,” he said.",

"Field of the Invention\nThe invention relates to a device for continuous production of plate-shaped products.",
"\n2. ",
"Description of the Prior Art\nIn the compression of materials which achieve the liquid phase or are softened during the compression process, accompanying strips are required, through which a lateral flowing away of the product is prevented. ",
"A lateral flowing away of the product would namely mean that the counter pressure drops in the product edge region and that an isobaric compression pressure no longer prevails there. ",
"A pressure decrease would set in toward the edge which further favors the flow process. ",
"A material flow of this kind would moreover lead to the respective design structure being disturbed in the product edge region and to this edge region thus becoming unusable.",
"\nA device for continuous production of plate-shaped products, which has co-moving strips of elastic material for the lateral closing off of the working gap of the described device, is known from EP 0484 735 A1. ",
"These strips are taken along via frictional locking and can contain reinforcement inlays. ",
"In practice, however, the resulting frictional locking is not sufficient in order to ensure the required exact positioning of the strips, in particular when a high internal pressure arises in the pressing gap as a result of the materials to be compressed.",
"\nA device for continuous production of plate-shaped products having accompanying strips is known from DE-A-29 23 036. ",
"In order to ensure that the accompanying strips withstand the internal pressure of the product and cannot be pressed away outwardly, the lower endless strip is provided with holders in this known device which are formed for example by bolts which are welded on or adhesively bonded on. ",
"The use of a holder of this kind is not only complicated and expensive, but it also brings about in particular the disadvantage that a width adjustment which may be required is not possible without further ado."

"\nMR. ",
"JUSTICE MURPHY delivered the opinion of the court.",
"\nAfter a jury trial, defendant, John Carter, was found guilty of the unlawful sale of narcotics. ",
"On appeal, defendant's principal contention is that the evidence was insufficient to prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.",
"\nThe conviction is based on the testimony of an informer and a police officer. ",
"The informer was Theodore Hall, an admitted narcotics addict and ex-convict, who had been an informer in \"over 120 cases ... over a two year period of time.\"",
"\n*450 At approximately 5:00 p.m. on November 23, 1963, Hall went to police headquarters at 1121 South State Street, Chicago, and met Chicago Police Officers McKelvey and Tobin of the Narcotics Bureau. ",
"Hall was searched and examined, and all of his money was taken by one of the police officers for safekeeping. ",
"In his presence, the officers recorded the serial numbers of ten one-dollar bills. ",
"At about 8:00 p.m., the two officers and Hall proceeded to the area of Division and State Streets. ",
"Officer McKelvey gave Hall the recorded bills, and Hall entered DeMarco's Restaurant at 9 West Division and took a seat at a lunch counter, where there were four or five other persons seated. ",
"The two officers took positions outside the restaurant and kept Hall under surveillance through the window.",
"\nAfter about 20 or 30 minutes, the defendant, John Carter, emerged from the back of the restaurant, and Hall met him in front and they took a cab to Chicago Avenue and Cambridge, where they left the cab. ",
"They walked north a short distance, turned west at a corner, and entered defendant's apartment. ",
"While in a small entranceway, Hall gave defendant the recorded bills, and defendant went upstairs. ",
"Hall saw \"an old woman in the kitchen by the sink, and I heard a woman's voice upstairs and John Carter's voice.\" ",
"Defendant returned shortly, and while they were in the entranceway he gave Hall a tin-foil package. ",
"They walked back to Chicago Avenue and took a cab back to Division and State, where defendant returned to the restaurant and Hall went over to the officers and handed Officer Tobin the tin-foil package. ",
"The officers followed them on both cab trips and saw them while they were walking on Canbridge, but lost sight of them when they turned west at a corner and did not observe them again until they returned on foot and entered the second cab.",
"\nThe officers field-tested the contents of the tinfoil package and found narcotics. ",
"The officers then proceeded *451 to DeMarco's Restaurant and arrested defendant. ",
"They searched defendant, the restaurant and his home and did not find the prerecorded bills or any additional narcotics.",
"\nAfter a guilty verdict was returned and before sentence was imposed, the State showed in aggravation defendant's 1955 and 1959 convictions for unlawful possession of narcotics, and defendant, in accordance with paragraph 22-40, Chapter 38, Illinois Revised Statutes 1963, was then sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of from 10 years to life.",
"\nDefendant relies on People v. Bazemore, 25 Ill.2d 74, 182 NE2d 649 (1962), and People v. Boyd, 17 Ill.2d 321, 161 NE2d 311 (1959), in support of his contention that corroboration is required when the evidence of sale is the testimony of an informer who is an addict.",
"\nIn Bazemore, the addict informer returned to the police, who were stationed about a block away, with two tinfoil packages which contained narcotics. ",
"After receiving a description of the seller and information as to where the sale had taken place, the police made a search of the area but found no trace of defendant. ",
"The informer testified he next saw defendant two months later in the same vicinity and reported to one of the police officers, whom he found seated in a police vehicle a short distance away. ",
"Defendant was apprehended at that time. ",
"No narcotics were found on his person, nor was any of the inventoried money ever recovered. ",
"There, in reversing the conviction, the court said (pp 76, 77):\n\"Where, as here, the State's case rests solely upon the credibility of an admitted narcotics addict, a trial court, and in the final analysis this court, must carefully and closely scrutinize the testimony of the witness.... Although it does not necessarily follow that his testimony must be disbelieved, ... the fact that a witness is a narcotics addict has an *452 important bearing on his credibility.... A further circumstance in this case, which goes to the credibility of the witness, is the fact that the informer was not kept under any surveillance by the police as he went about making the controlled purchases of drugs.... This is not a case where the informer's accusation receives corroboration from close police surveillance of the transaction, from an immediate arrest, or from the finding of marked money on the accused, but one which developed in such a way that the informer was at liberty to name almost any person he wished to select as the guilty one.\"",
"\n[1] The Bazemore pronouncements, while pertinent, do not require a reversal here. ",
"The guidelines to be used here are set forth by this court in People v. Romero, 54 Ill. App.2d 184, 203 NE2d 635 (1964), at page 188:\n\"Although the testimony of a narcotic addict is scrutinized with caution, his testimony may be sufficient to sustain a conviction if it is credible under the surrounding circumstances.... The test is not whether an addict informer's testimony is uncorroborated, but whether his testimony is credible under the surrounding circumstances.\"",
"\nDefendant contends there was no such continuity in the surveillance of the informer to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he had not had \"an opportunity to have some transaction with a person other than defendant.\" ",
"Defendant argues that in the restaurant, Hall may have transferred to the counterman \"the prerecorded funds and obtained the narcotic drug, and then, to divert attention from his source of supply, ... implicated the defendant,\" and further, \"it was not the responsibility of the defense to explain what had actually happened\" at defendant's home \"since there was no testimony other than that of the informer that a sale of a narcotic drug *453 had occurred there.\" ",
"We note here, however, that with the exception of these two periods, the defendant and the informer were together under the constant surveillance of the police from the time they left the restaurant until they returned, when the informer delivered the tinfoil package to the police officers, and defendant was arrested in DeMarco's.",
"\n[2-5] We agree that the testimony of a narcotics informer should be closely scrutinized, but the test is \"whether his testimony is credible under the surrounding circumstances.\" ",
"In the instant case there was an immediate arrest of defendant, after a fairly close surveillance of both the informer and the defendant. ",
"The informer had no narcotics when he initially left the police car and did have narcotics when he returned, which he testified he purchased from defendant. ",
"Under the surrounding circumstances of this case, we believe the credibility of Hall, an admitted narcotics addict and ex-convict was primarily a question for the jury. ",
"In People v. Romero, this court said (p 189):\n\"This court will not substitute its judgment on the matter of the credibility of witnesses and the weight to be given their testimony where the trier of fact saw and heard their testimony, unless we can say that the proof was so unsatisfactory as to justify a reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt.\"",
"\nAs we cannot say that the proof in this case was so unsatisfactory as to justify a reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt, we see no reason for disturbing the guilty finding.",
"\n[6-8] Defendant further contends that the indictment was insufficient in law, and that defendant was prejudiced by the remarks of the State's Attorney, who characterized the defendant as a \"dope peddler,\" and that the \"patent prejudice of the trial judge induced the *454 verdict of the jury.\" ",
"We find these contentions are without merit. ",
"As to the sufficiency of the indictment, we note that it meets the requirements set forth in the recent Supreme Court Case of People v. Blanchett, 33 Ill.2d 527, 212 NE2d 97 (1965). ",
"As to the conduct of the State's Attorney and trial judge, we have examined the record and find no prejudicial error. ",
"See People v. Lopez, 10 Ill.2d 237, 240, 139 NE2d 724 (1957).",
"\nWe conclude the evidence was sufficient to establish defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and that he received a fair trial. ",
"The judgment of the Criminal Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County is affirmed.",
"\nAffirmed.",
"\nKLUCZYNSKI, P.J. and BURMAN, J., concur.",

"\nLanthanide doped ZnO mushroom-like 3D hierarchical structures have been fabricated by polyol-mediated method and characterized by various microstructural and optical techniques. ",
"The results indicate that the as-prepared ZnO:Ln(3+) (Ln = Tb, Eu) samples have a hexagonal phase structure and possess a mushroom-like 3D hierarchical morphology. ",
"The length of the whole mushroom from stipe bottom to pileus top is about 1.0 μm, and the diameters of pileus and stipe are about 0.8 μm and 0.4 μm, respectively. ",
"It is found that the flow of N2 is the key parameter for the formation of the novel ZnO structure and the addition of (NH4)2HPO4 has a prominent effect on the phase structure and the growth of mushroom-like morphology. ",
"The potential mechanism of forming this morphology is proposed. ",
"The pileus of the formed mushroom is assembled by several radial ZnO:Ln(3+) nanorods, whereas the stipe is composed of over layered ZnO:Ln(3+) nanosheets. ",
"Moreover, asymmetrical I-V characteristic curves of ZnO:Ln(3+) mushrooms indicate that the texture composition of the 3D hierarchical morphology might lead to the asymmetrical transport behavior of electrical conductivity. ",

"INTRODUCTION {#s1}\n============\n\nNon-obese diabetic (NOD) background mice \\[developed at Shionogi Research Laboratories in Aburahi, Japan ([@BIO013201C41][@BIO013201C42])\\] carrying mutation of DNA-dependent protein kinase (*Prkdc*) ([@BIO013201C4]) and deletion ([@BIO013201C10]; [@BIO013201C17]) or truncation ([@BIO013201C28]; [@BIO013201C46]; [@BIO013201C60]) of common cytokine receptor gamma chain (cγ), are termed NOG or NSG mice. ",
"The strains are excellent for human stem cells engraftment and T cell reconstitution in the mouse thymus ([@BIO013201C30]; [@BIO013201C55]). ",
"More than 135 studies focused on genetically modified immune deficient mice, which now yield more than 1200 publications and patents (Google Scholar, December 2014). ",
"Ten percent of these studies involved stem cell biology, 25% cancer research, 28% immune system development, and 31% therapeutics. ",
"The mice have, for example, received significant attention as a preclinical testing platform for human hematopoiesis ([@BIO013201C54]; [@BIO013201C61]) and tissue regeneration ([@BIO013201C29]). ",
"Studies of human tumor stem cell and tissues biology for cancer research are also operative ([@BIO013201C66]). ",
"Moreover, human-specific viral infections, such as the human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1), are commonly investigated in such humanized mice and represent 6% of all publications in the field ([@BIO013201C56]). ",
"These include studies of viral pathobiology, innate and adaptive immunity, and therapeutics ([@BIO013201C15][@BIO013201C14]; [@BIO013201C20]; [@BIO013201C45]). ",
"Human mycobacterial (tuberculosis) ([@BIO013201C9]; [@BIO013201C37]; [@BIO013201C39]) and parasite infections (for example, malaria) ([@BIO013201C33]; [@BIO013201C63]) can also be studied in these mice ([@BIO013201C6]). ",
"However, hematologic, metabolic and behavioral characteristics of these animals remain limited. ",
"Aging and conditioning regimens for stem cell transplantation, such as low dose irradiation, remain unexplored.",
"\n\nNOD mice, known for their susceptibility to autoimmune insulin dependent diabetes mellitus have multiple genetic abnormalities ([@BIO013201C38]). ",
"The addition of severe combined immune deficiency \\[associated with point mutation of DNA dependent protein kinase gene ([@BIO013201C4])\\], in combination with deletion of common cytokine receptor gamma chain ([@BIO013201C10]; [@BIO013201C17]), abrogates development of lymphocytes and secondary lymphoid structures. ",
"A deficiency in the non-homologous DNA end joining process and *scid* mutation also increases sensitivity of stromal, hematopoietic, immune T and B cells, and neuronal progenitors to gamma irradiation ([@BIO013201C2]; [@BIO013201C50]). ",
"Moreover, genetic modifications and the pre-conditionings required to create humanized mice also lead to inherent limitations in translating data sets from rodents to man ([@BIO013201C43]). ",
"Thus, while capable of long-term stable human cell and tissue engraftments, inherent complexities in the animals themselves can affect their broad utility for human disease testing. ",
"Use of such mice to study drug toxicities, pharmacokinetics and metabolism demands robust characterization, especially, in relation to age and animal conditioning regimens. ",
"NSG mouse behavior in such a context may be different than normal experimental mice ([@BIO013201C53]; [@BIO013201C67]).",
"\n\nTo such ends, we report descriptions of hematologic, blood chemistry, and behavioral changes associated with NSG mouse aging by comparisons of 6- and 12-month-old animals. ",
"These are referred to as young and middle age, respectively. ",
"We observed age-dependent anemia, peripheral blood lymphocytosis and reduced serum albumin. ",
"We also describe investigations of each of these parameters reflecting stem cell conditioning such as low dose gamma irradiation performed at birth and the human immune cell reconstitution. ",
"Irradiation was shown to affect blood counts and chemistry, body composition and behavior. ",
"We posit that such data sets should be considered in the use of these animals for human testing in order to guide final results. ",
"This is especially important for therapeutic testing of human-specific viral, bacterial and parasitic infections and of cancer biology.",
"\n\nRESULTS {#s2}\n=======\n\nHematology {#s2a}\n----------\n\nChanges in hematologic parameters are a common indication of drug toxicity and inflammation. ",
"Applications of aging NSG mice for HIV drug development research require evaluation of consequent low dose irradiation. ",
"To this end, we evaluated 6 and 12 month-old NSG and similar aged humanized mice.",
"\n\n### Red blood cells {#s2a1}\n\nA decline of 15% was observed in red blood cells (RBC) that were associated with age (8.83±0.36 vs 7.59±0.40×10^12^ c/l. *P*\\<0.05). ",
"A more than 50% RBC decrease was seen following irradiation. ",
"In humanized mice, RBC mean count was 4.25±0.27×10^12^/l (*P*\\<0.001). ",
"Parallel declines were found for hemoglobin (hgb) and hematocrit (hct) values. ",

"Table 1.**Comparison of hematologic and blood chemistry parameters between immunocompetent, immunodeficient and humanized mice**\n\n### White blood cells and platelets {#s2a2}\n\nThe total number of white blood cells (WBC) also was found to be significantly lower in humanized mice when compared with young and middle-aged NSG mice (2.04±0.18 and 0.80±0.10×10^12^/l, *P*\\<0.001). ",
"Slightly reduced granulocyte numbers (83.5±1.8 and 66.5±5.5%, *P*\\<0.05) and an increased lymphocyte percentages were found without relative changes in monocytes. ",

"In NSG mice, total platelet counts were not changed with age, but mean platelet volume increased. ",
"Young and middle-aged mice showed platelet volumes of 6.85±0.08 and 7.40±0.15 fl *P*\\<0.05 whereas humanized mice had values of 7.94±0.17 *P*\\<0.001.",
"\n\n### Correlations between human and murine cell populations {#s2a3}\n\nThe repopulation of mouse bone marrow with xenogeneic human cells was shown to affect mouse hematopoiesis. ",
"Also, human adaptive immunity to mouse cells (erythrocytes, for example) can affect mouse hematopoiesis. ",
"Thus, correlations were made between the levels of peripheral blood human lymphocyte reconstitution and mouse hematologic parameters. ",
"For these tests, animals were reconstituted with human stem cells from different sources including 5 from fetal liver and 11 from cord blood. ",
"Significant variabilities of human cells were found in blood. ",
"This allowed comparisons between low and high human T and B cell levels with mouse white and red cell and platelet counts. ",
"The reduction of red blood cells and platelets in humanized mice was associated with percentages of human CD45+ and B cell numbers. ",
"The correlation of B cells with hemoglobin and platelet levels was statistically significant *r*=−0.524 (*P*=0.037, R^2^=0.254) and *r*=−0.621 (*P*=0.0006, R^2^=0.386), respectively ([Fig.",

"3.**Comparison of hematologic parameters in humanized mice with different levels of peripheral blood repopulation.** ",
"The high levels of humanization detected by the presence of human cells (CD45+) and, specifically, B cells (CD19+) were associated with decreased red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin concentration and platelets numbers (PLT). ",

"Individual values, mean and s.d. ",
"are shown.",
"\n\nClinical chemistry {#s2b}\n------------------\n\nBlood chemistry changes associated with NSG mouse aging, irradiation and humanization were more modest ([Fig.",

"Humanization increased blood urea nitrogen (young 19.0±0.6 and humanized 38.8±3.4 mg/dg, *P*\\<0.001). ",
"However, this change was seen within normal mouse limits. ",
"Glucose levels were also within normal limits (125-250 mg/dl). ",
"However, increased levels in single housed animals were most linked to the time of blood collection. ",
"Repetitive measurements at 0900 (after active eating during night time) and 1600 (resting time) did not show statistically different values. ",

"4.**Age and humanization induced changes in blood biochemistry of NSG mice.** ",
"Reduced total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) concentration in middle age 12 month old (MM) and humanized (HM) NSG mice compared to young 6 month old (YM). ",

"Overall, these data show that HM mice have increased dark cycle locomotion compared to YM and MM mice, and that this increase is a result of HM mice spending less time in the inactive state, and having greater locomotor probability and number of locomotor bouts (as well as greater overall nonlocomotor movement and a trend toward increased nonlocomotor bouts).",
"\n\n### Irradiation with HSC reconstitution and aging significantly impact mouse movement {#s2d1}\n\nAt the most coarse level of discrimination, there were marked differences in total daily movement, dark cycle (DC) movement and light cycle (LC) movement between the middle-aged male and humanized male groups ([Fig.",
" 5](#BIO013201F5){ref-type=\"fig\"}A; for daily, DC, and LC movement; FDR-adjusted *P*\\<0.02, 0.02, 0.01, respectively). ",
"Comparisons of young male versus middle-aged male groups and young male versus humanized male groups were not significant by FDR. ",
"Overall, movement is greatest for humanized mice, and least for aged, non-humanized mice.",
"\n\nThese gross changes in movement are further reflected in the overall 24-h time budgets of young male, middle-aged male, and humanized male mice, and the sub-budgets quantifying behaviors performed during mouse active states. ",
"For time budgets over the entire day, aging was associated with less locomotion (daily, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.01, 0.02, 0.01, respectively) and more episodes of stopping and starting (daily, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.01, 0.02, not different, respectively). ",
"By contrast, humanization increased daily time budget for locomotion (daily, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.02, 0.02, 0.01, respectively) and the number of starting/stopping episodes (total, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.03, 0.05, 0.02, respectively). ",
"Within the active state time budget, aging again decreased total percent time spent in locomotion (daily, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.002, 0.0005, not different, respectively), with no effect on feeding, drinking, and other movements. ",
"As was the case for the 24-h time budget, the active state time budget of humanized mice showed significant increases in locomotion (daily, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.01, 0.01, not different, respectively), and more stopping/starting episodes (daily, DC, and LC; *P*\\<0.02, not different, 0.01, respectively). ",
"Thus, aging decreases the percent of each day (and the percent of total active time) that NSG mice spend in locomotion, while humanization has an opposite effect.",
"\n\nTemporal patterns of locomotion and other movement bouts provide insight into the underlying systems altered by both aging and humanization. ",
"For locomotion ([Fig.",
" 5](#BIO013201F5){ref-type=\"fig\"}C), humanized male mice have a greater number of locomotor bout onsets per hour (*P*\\<0.02; DC and LC), higher bout speed (*P*\\<0.02; DC and LC), shorter bout duration (*P*\\<0.02; DC and LC), and greater total bout movement (*P*\\<0.01; DC and LC) while moving the same total distance as young male mice. ",
"Similarly, humanized male mice cover significantly greater distance in other movement bouts (Fig.",
" 5D) compared to young male mice over both the dark and light cycles (*P*\\<0.01 DC, *P*\\<0.01 LC), with similar trends in movement bout duration (*P*\\<0.02 DC, *P*\\<0.01 LC), speed (*P*\\<0.02 DC, not different LC), and onsets (*P*\\<0.01 DC, *P*\\<0.01 LC). ",
"These factors suggest that CNS systems governing movement bout probability drive an increased number of bout onsets per hour, ultimately leading to increased locomotion in humanized male mice compared to the young males.",
"\n\nSimilar findings explain movement differences between young male and middle-aged male cohorts. ",
"Young male mice have more bout onsets per hour (*P*\\<0.01), longer bout duration (*P*\\<0.01), and similar locomotor speeds ([Fig.",
" 5](#BIO013201F5){ref-type=\"fig\"}C). ",
"Again, the increased probability of locomotion in young male mice drives the increased number of observed locomotor bouts, ultimately accounting for increased locomotion in young male versus middle-aged male mice. ",
"Of note, patterns of nonlocomotor movements in young male versus middle-aged male mice are not similar to those observed in young male versus humanized male mice ([Fig.",
" 5](#BIO013201F5){ref-type=\"fig\"}D). ",
"While young males had more hourly nonlocomotor movement bouts compared to middle-aged males, the middle-aged males nonlocomotor movement probability and bout speed are the same as young male, and middle-aged bout duration and total movement per bout are greater than that observed for young males. ",
"Thus, middle-aged males appear to compensate for fewer nonlocomotor movement bouts by increasing bout duration, and thus covering more ground per nonlocomotor movement bout compared to young males.",
"\n\n### Day-to-day correspondence of activity and drinking is greater in humanized mice and less in aged males {#s2d2}\n\nIn general, we observed few differences in parameters describing the circadian properties of activity, movement, feeding, and drinking between all mouse cohorts. ",
"We noted no differences in average activity onset times, activity offset times, or overall active phase duration. ",
"Periodicity analysis examined overall patterns of movement, feeding, and drinking identified significant circadian differences between humanized and the other mouse cohorts. ",
"Specifically, the area under the curve for the 24-h periodicity was greater in humanized males (for movement and drinking) compared to other cohorts. ",
"This finding suggests that the autocorrelations over 24 h windows for humanized males movement and feeding are stronger than those observed for the other mouse cohorts. ",
"Lomb-Scargle periodograms also reveal that the overall area of the 24-h activity peak is greater for young compared to aged mice for movement, feeding, and drinking. ",
"This finding has been observed in comparisons between young and aged C57BL/6, BALB, and CBA mouse strains (our unpublished data). ",
"This finding suggests that mouse autocorrelations (over 24 h) in movement, feeding, and drinking behaviors are age affected ([Fig.",

"Fig. ",
"6.**Day-to-day correspondence of activity.** ",
"Humanized male mice (HM) have the least day-to-day variance in patterns of movement, feeding, and drinking. ",

"Bars are ±one standard error of the mean.",
"\n\nDISCUSSION {#s3}\n==========\n\nThe generation of humanized mice requires detailed descriptions of the genotype, age, sex, and conditioning regimens. ",
"Humanization itself shows animal-to-animal variance as does time following any procedure as well as the sources of the cells. ",
"Complicating testing even further are the variances of the microbial pathogens studied, which includes viruses, parasites and bacteria. ",
"In the quest to use such animals for biomarker and extended therapeutic studies of microbial susceptibility, graft longevity and anti-viral/microbial drug resistance all become notable considerations ([@BIO013201C11]; [@BIO013201C45]). ",
"If such factors were not complicated enough, hematologic abnormalities and altered body weight seen in humanized mice serve to complicate studies even further. ",
"The reduction of body weight by low dose irradiation is linked to reduced bone density but to increased fat tissue proportion. ",
"Multiple genetic defects present in NSG mice affects multiple cell/organ functions ([@BIO013201C34]; [@BIO013201C42]; [@BIO013201C59]) whose description can be found on the Jackson Laboratories web site (<http://jaxmice.jax.org/strain/005557.html>). ",
"The most unexplored parameter for NSG mice is behavior. ",
"To this end, we have presented a detailed analysis of age-dependent NSG mouse behavior together with the effects of low dose irradiation and humanization.",
"\n\nWe found an age-dependent deficiency in erythropoiesis that began by age 12 months. ",
"Reductions in red cell counts, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations suggested a more significant defect in hematopoiesis and beyond the *scid* mutation ([@BIO013201C51]). ",
"The absence of lymphotropic cytokine signaling by the common cytokine receptor gamma chain and the near absence of lymphoid lineage B, NK and T cells could be indirectly involved in the erythrocyte effect. ",
"Alternatively, bone marrow derived macrophages can suppress erythroid lineage development and change properties. ",
"This could be considered an age-related myelodysplasia. ",
"Moreover, hematologic abnormalities can be linked also to irradiation and humanization. ",
"The levels of human cell repopulation of mouse lymphoid organs correlate with the proportion of blood lymphocytes. ",
"The decline of red blood cells and platelets are also associated with the proportion of human B cells. ",
"Human immune cells transplanted into immunodeficient mice may also be able to produce anti-erythrocytes antibodies as a consequence of graft-versus-host disease ([@BIO013201C49]). ",
"This suggests that immune components could contribute to the observed anemia. ",
"However, in the humanized mice used in this report such high concentrations were never achieved despite the observed anemia ([@BIO013201C22]). ",
"Aged NSG and low-dose irradiated animals could be more sensitive to myelosuppressive drugs. ",
"Other drugs may perhaps increase the numbers of red cells and platelets. ",
"Humanized mice could, in this manner, serve as a model to study graft-versus-host disease ([@BIO013201C7]; [@BIO013201C13]; [@BIO013201C22]).",
"\n\nAmong tested blood biochemistry parameters, age-dependent total protein and albumin levels were also reduced. ",
"Serum albumin levels are already known to decrease with age in several inbred strains. ",
"This could be associated with increased loss due to proteinuria and kidney disease, accelerated catabolism, liver inflammation and increased endotoxin sensitivities ([@BIO013201C52]). ",
"Interestingly, none of such pathologic conditions were reported previously for NSG mice.",
"\n\nNSG feeding, drinking, and locomotor phenotypes arising from combined *Prkdc* and IL2R-γ chain genetic lesions on a NOD genetic background were examined by mouse home cage behavior tests. ",
"Multiple locomotor phenotypes were observed. ",
"First, middle-aged male NSG mice have less total locomotion and fewer movement bouts over the circadian day compared to young controls (we anecdotally observe that young NSG mice have less total locomotion and fewer locomotor bouts compared to young male C57BL/6 and BALB mice; data courtesy E.H. Goulding, Northwestern University). ",
"Similarly, aging NSG mice show reduced nonlocomotor activity, and fewer nonlocomotor activity bouts compared to young controls. ",
"Aged NSG mice spend a smaller percentage of their day and during their total activity time in locomotion compared to young NSG mice. ",
"The opposite phenotype is observed when humanized NSG mice are compared to young controls. ",
"There are, to date, no published reports of NOD (or other strains of Swiss-Webster superfamily), *Prkdc*, or IL2R-γ baseline locomotor function, complicating interpretation of this locomotor phenotype. ",
"However, in related assays measuring open field locomotion (albeit over a significantly shorter time period), NOD mice routinely demonstrate *greater* total locomotion compared to other strains ([@BIO013201C1]; [@BIO013201C5]; [@BIO013201C44]). *",
"Prkdc* knockout mice have no genotypic differences in open field locomotion ([@BIO013201C8]); there are no published reports of IL2R-γ mice open field locomotion (described as 'languid', [@BIO013201C18]). ",
"These results demonstrate that NSG mice that have not undergone immune reconstitution appear to have a baseline locomotor deficit that worsens with age.",
"\n\nWe see a dramatic increase in circadian and total locomotor and nonlocomotor movement in NSG mice after human immune reconstitution. ",
"This phenotype, resulting from increased dark cycle locomotor bout frequency represents an immune effect on action selection at the basal ganglia. ",
"Such neural commands to increase locomotor bout frequency converge on the striatum ([@BIO013201C23]; [@BIO013201C25]), and evoke facilitation of direct pathway through medium spiny neuron D~1~ receptors as well as inhibition of indirect pathway through medium spiny neuron D~2~ receptor signaling ([@BIO013201C36]). ",
"Our findings suggest that basal ganglia action selection ([@BIO013201C3]; [@BIO013201C24]) is affected by immune reconstitution. ",
"Immune reconstitution of NSG mice decreased, whereas aging increased day-to-day temporal movement variability, feeding, and drinking when compared to controls. ",
"We routinely observe significant age-related increases in movement, feeding, and drinking variability across all inbred strains tested to date (S.J.B., unpublished data). ",
"Increased behavioral variability with age may be attributed to overall age-related changes in hypothalamic signaling pathways, including those converging upon NFκB ([@BIO013201C31]; [@BIO013201C69]). ",
"Potential mechanisms underlying this circadian dysregulation include altered *NPAS2* function ([@BIO013201C27]). ",
"Cytokines have well-established effects on hypothalamic function ([@BIO013201C12]; [@BIO013201C62]); the altered immune status of both naïve and humanized NSG mice may thus contribute to circadian dysregulation.",
"\n\nRegarding other behaviors, NOD mice showed reduced mean hindpaw withdrawal latencies when compared with non-diabetic strains; NOD mice were also abnormal in their general appearance, activity level, posture, gait and muscle bulk. ",
"These findings raise the possibility that mice arising from NOD strains have primary impairments within sensory pathways ([@BIO013201C16]). ",
"NOD background on behavior testing in several laboratories showed different degrees of increased vertical activity and wildness ([@BIO013201C5]; [@BIO013201C65]). ",
"Sheltering behavior and locomotor activity of NOD strain in home cage behavior testing of young mice also showed differences with C57bl and Balb/c mice ([@BIO013201C40]). ",
"Common cytokine receptor chain knockout and *scid* mutation also increased vulnerability of mouse neurons and behavior abnormalities were reported ([@BIO013201C8]; [@BIO013201C48]; [@BIO013201C64]). ",
"In addition to these genetic changes is the low dose irradiation known to have a profound effect on mouse neurobehavior physiology ([@BIO013201C26]; [@BIO013201C35]). ",
"In comparison to most studies, Balb/c or C57Bl/6 mice, NOD background has been associated with behavior \"strangeness\". ",
"However, signs of behavior aging of NSG mice similar to these two strains and associated with reduced locomotion, increased episodes of stopping and starting, longer duration of food intake bouts were observed. ",
"Because of the parallel appearance of both behavioral and actuarial aging, the slope of such changes would be helpful investigate in the direct comparison to other often used strains for behavior studies. ",
"Moreover, accelerated behavior aging of NSG mice, if it is real, could be directly attributed to the severe immunodeficiency and increased incidence of inflammatory reaction such as glial activation observed in NSG mice ([@BIO013201C19]).",
"\n\nA combination of NOD background, immune deficiency and humanization can lead to hyperactivity. ",
"Irradiated NSG had significantly increased motor activity as observed in the home cage monitoring. ",
"This finding is different to reported decreased activity in home cage of one-year-old C57Bl/6 mice irradiated at 2 weeks of age ([@BIO013201C32]). ",
"This discrepancy could be related to the time of irradiation of one-day old animals which most probably retained a greater ability to compensate damage of low dose irradiation of 1 Gy than two-week-old mice irradiated at 6 Gy. ",
"Overall, the effect of irradiation at different ages on volumes of the brain subregions and inhibitory regulation networks are noted. ",
"The relationships between brain structural volume and motor performance measures are possible and widely accepted ([@BIO013201C58]). ",
"For example, primary motor cortex atrophy, decline in white matter and subcortical structures, substantia nigra volumes may contribute to the movement slowing seen with age. ",
"Taken together, the impact of age and irradiation for neuromotor function on the NSG mice are noteworthy. ",
"Pattern alterations for neural plasticity are age dependent. ",
"Drug testing and application of NSG mice for specific behavior studies such as decreased abilities to engage relevant neural circuitry, activation and anxiety likely reflect changes in sensory information processing.",

"Clinical epidemiology of occupational neurotoxic disease.",
"\nOccupational exposures to neurotoxic chemicals have produced large outbreaks of illness in chemical and pesticide workers worldwide. ",
"Outbreaks of occupational neurologic disease in the United States have included (1) the Kepone episode in Hopewell, Virginia, in which 76 workers at a pesticide plant producing the chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide, Kepone, developed a previously unrecognized syndrome of nervousness, tremor, ataxia, weight loss, opsoclonus, pleuritic and joint pain, and oligospermia; (2) an outbreak of 104 cases of autonomic neuropathy in polyurethane foam workers in Marblehead, Massachusetts, manifest principally by urinary bladder dysfunction, which followed exposure to a new catalyst, dimethylaminopropionitrile (DMAPN); and (3) an outbreak of acute mixed motor and sensory neuropathy in 48 plastic fabric workers in Columbus, Ohio, exposed to the solvent methyl butyl ketone (MBK). ",
"These outbreaks underscore the vulnerability of chemical workers to neurotoxins. ",
"In addition, occurrence of these large, easily detectable epidemics suggests that many more smaller clusters and single cases of neurologic disease of undetermined origin, particularly in younger adults, may be caused by exposure to occupational or to other toxic chemicals. ",
"Detection of the etiology of chemically induced neurologic illness requires a high index of suspicion and careful ascertainment of occupational history."

"\n\n\n\n\n\nPREFACE.",
"\n\n\nWith _The Scapegoat_ our general discussion of the theory and practice of\nthe Dying God is brought to a conclusion. ",
"The aspect of the subject with\nwhich we are here chiefly concerned is the use of the Dying God as a\nscapegoat to free his worshippers from the troubles of all sorts with\nwhich life on earth is beset. ",
"I have sought to trace this curious usage to\nits origin, to decompose the idea of the Divine Scapegoat into the\nelements out of which it appears to be compounded. ",
"If I am right, the idea\nresolves itself into a simple confusion between the material and the\nimmaterial, between the real possibility of transferring a physical load\nto other shoulders and the supposed possibility of transferring our bodily\nand mental ailments to another who will bear them for us. ",
"When we survey\nthe history of this pathetic fallacy from its crude inception in savagery\nto its full development in the speculative theology of civilized nations,\nwe cannot but wonder at the singular power which the human mind possesses\nof transmuting the leaden dross of superstition into a glittering\nsemblance of gold. ",
"Certainly in nothing is this alchemy of thought more\nconspicuous than in the process which has refined the base and foolish\ncustom of the scapegoat into the sublime conception of a God who dies to\ntake away the sins of the world.",
"\n\nAlong with the discussion of the Scapegoat I have included in this volume\nan account of the remarkable religious ritual of the Aztecs, in which the\ntheory of the Dying God found its most systematic and most tragic\nexpression. ",
"There is nothing, so far as I am aware, to shew that the men\nand women, who in Mexico died cruel deaths in the character of gods and\ngoddesses, were regarded as scapegoats by their worshippers and\nexecutioners; the intention of slaying them seems rather to have been to\nreinforce by a river of human blood the tide of life which might else grow\nstagnant and stale in the veins of the deities. ",
"Hence the Aztec ritual,\nwhich prescribed the slaughter, the roasting alive, and the flaying of men\nand women in order that the gods might remain for ever young and strong,\nconforms to the general theory of deicide which I have offered in this\nwork. ",
"On that theory death is a portal through which gods and men alike\nmust pass to escape the decrepitude of age and to attain the vigour of\neternal youth. ",
"The conception may be said to culminate in the Brahmanical\ndoctrine that in the daily sacrifice the body of the Creator is broken\nanew for the salvation of the world.",

"\n\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER I. THE TRANSFERENCE OF EVIL.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 1. ",
"The Transference to Inanimate Objects.",
"\n\n\n(M1) In the preceding parts of this work we have traced the practice of\nkilling a god among peoples in the hunting, pastoral, and agricultural\nstages of society; and I have attempted to explain the motives which led\nmen to adopt so curious a custom. ",
"One aspect of the custom still remains\nto be noticed. ",
"The accumulated misfortunes and sins of the whole people\nare sometimes laid upon the dying god, who is supposed to bear them away\nfor ever, leaving the people innocent and happy. ",
"The notion that we can\ntransfer our guilt and sufferings to some other being who will bear them\nfor us is familiar to the savage mind. ",
"It arises from a very obvious\nconfusion between the physical and the mental, between the material and\nthe immaterial. ",
"Because it is possible to shift a load of wood, stones, or\nwhat not, from our own back to the back of another, the savage fancies\nthat it is equally possible to shift the burden of his pains and sorrows\nto another, who will suffer them in his stead. ",
"Upon this idea he acts, and\nthe result is an endless number of very unamiable devices for palming off\nupon some one else the trouble which a man shrinks from bearing himself.",
"\nIn short, the principle of vicarious suffering is commonly understood and\npractised by races who stand on a low level of social and intellectual\nculture. ",
"In the following pages I shall illustrate the theory and the\npractice as they are found among savages in all their naked simplicity,\nundisguised by the refinements of metaphysics and the subtleties of\ntheology.",
"\n\n(M2) The devices to which the cunning and selfish savage resorts for the\nsake of easing himself at the expense of his neighbour are manifold; only\na few typical examples out of a multitude can be cited. ",
"At the outset it\nis to be observed that the evil of which a man seeks to rid himself need\nnot be transferred to a person; it may equally well be transferred to an\nanimal or a thing, though in the last case the thing is often only a\nvehicle to convey the trouble to the first person who touches it. ",
"In some\nof the East Indian islands they think that epilepsy can be cured by\nstriking the patient on the face with the leaves of certain trees and then\nthrowing them away. ",
"The disease is believed to have passed into the\nleaves, and to have been thrown away with them.(1) In the Warramunga and\nTjingilli tribes of Central Australia men who suffered from headache have\noften been seen wearing women's head-rings. \"",
"This was connected with the\nbelief that the pain in the head would pass into the rings, and that then\nit could be thrown away with them into the bush, and so got rid of\neffectually. ",
"The natives have a very firm belief in the efficacy of this\ntreatment. ",
"In the same way when a man suffers from internal pain, usually\nbrought on by overeating, his wife's head-rings are placed on his stomach;\nthe evil magic which is causing all the trouble passes into them, and they\nare then thrown away into the bushes, where the magic is supposed to leave\nthem. ",
"After a time they are searched for by the woman, who brings them\nback, and again wears them in the ordinary way.",
"\"(2) Among the Sihanaka of\nMadagascar, when a man is very sick, his relatives are sometimes bidden by\nthe diviner to cast out the evil by means of a variety of things, such as\na stick of a particular sort of tree, a rag, a pinch of earth from an\nant's nest, a little money, or what not. ",
"Whatever they may be, they are\nbrought to the patient's house and held by a man near the door, while an\nexorcist stands in the house and pronounces the formula necessary for\ncasting out the disease. ",
"When he has done, the things are thrown away in a\nsouthward direction, and all the people in the house, including the sick\nman, if he has strength enough, shake their loose robes and spit towards\nthe door in order to expedite the departure of the malady.(3) When an\nAtkhan of the Aleutian Islands had committed a grave sin and desired to\nunburden himself of his guilt, he proceeded as follows. ",
"Having chosen a\ntime when the sun was clear and unclouded, he picked up certain weeds and\ncarried them about his person. ",
"Then he laid them down, and calling the sun\nto witness, cast his sins upon them, after which, having eased his heart\nof all that weighed upon it, he threw the weeds into the fire, and fancied\nthat thus he cleansed himself of his guilt.(4) In Vedic times a younger\nbrother who married before his elder brother was thought to have sinned in\nso doing, but there was a ceremony by which he could purge himself of his\nsin. ",
"Fetters of reed-grass were laid on him in token of his guilt, and\nwhen they had been washed and sprinkled they were flung into a foaming\ntorrent, which swept them away, while the evil was bidden to vanish with\nthe foam of the stream.(5) The Matse <DW64>s of Togoland think that the\nriver Awo has power to carry away the sorrows of mankind. ",
"So when one of\ntheir friends has died, and their hearts are heavy, they go to the river\nwith leaves of the raphia palm tied round their necks and drums in their\nhands. ",
"Standing on the bank they beat the drums and cast the leaves into\nthe stream. ",
"As the leaves float away out of sight to the sound of the\nrippling water and the roll of the drums, they fancy that their sorrow too\nis lifted from them.(6) Similarly, the ancient Greeks imagined that the\npangs of love might be healed by bathing in the river Selemnus.(7) The\nIndians of Peru sought to purify themselves from their sins by plunging\ntheir heads in a river; they said that the river washed their sins\naway.(8)\n\n(M3) An Arab cure for melancholy or madness caused by love is to put a\ndish of water on the sufferer's head, drop melted lead into it, and then\nbury the lead in an open field; thus the mischief that was in the man goes\naway.(9) Amongst the Miotse of China, when the eldest son of the house\nattains the age of seven years, a ceremony called \"driving away the devil\"\ntakes place. ",
"The father makes a kite of straw and lets it fly away in the\ndesert, bearing away all evil with it.(10) When an Indian of Santiago\nTepehuacan is ill, he will sometimes attempt to rid himself of the malady\nby baking thrice seven cakes; of these he places seven in the top of the\nhighest pine-tree of the forest, seven he lays at the foot of the tree,\nand seven he casts into a well, with the water of which he then washes\nhimself. ",
"By this means he transfers the sickness to the water of the well\nand so is made whole.(11) The Baganda believed that plague was caused by\nthe god Kaumpuli, who resided in a deep hole in his temple. ",
"To prevent him\nfrom escaping and devastating the country, they battened him down in the\nhole by covering the top with plantain-stems and piling wild-cat-skins\nover them; there was nothing like wild-cat-skins to keep him down, so\nhundreds of wild cats were hunted and killed every year to supply the\nnecessary skins. ",
"However, sometimes in spite of these precautions the god\ncontrived to escape, and then the people died. ",
"When a garden or house was\nplague-stricken, the priests purified it by transferring the disease to a\nplantain-tree and then carrying away the tree to a piece of waste land.",
"\nThe way in which they effected the transference of the disease was this.",
"\nThey first made a number of little shields and spears out of plantain\nfibre and reeds and placed them at intervals along the path leading from\nthe garden to the main road. ",
"A young plantain-tree, about to bear fruit,\nwas then cut down, the stem was laid in the path leading to one of the\nplague-stricken huts, and it was speared with not less than twenty reed\nspears, which were left sticking in it, while some of the plantain-fibre\nshields were also fastened to it. ",
"This tree was then carried down the path\nto the waste land and left there. ",
"It went by the name of the Scapegoat\n(_kyonzire_). ",
"To make quite sure that the plague, after being thus\ndeposited in the wilderness, should not return by the way it went, the\npriests raised an arch, covered with barkcloth, over the path at the point\nwhere it diverged from the main road. ",
"This arch was thought to interpose\nan insurmountable barrier to the return of the plague.(12)\n\n(M4) Dyak priestesses expel ill-luck from a house by hewing and slashing\nthe air in every corner of it with wooden swords, which they afterwards\nwash in the river, to let the ill-luck float away down stream. ",
"Sometimes\nthey sweep misfortune out of the house with brooms made of the leaves of\ncertain plants and sprinkled with rice-water and blood. ",
"Having swept it\nclean out of every room and into a toy-house made of bamboo, they set the\nlittle house with its load of bad luck adrift on the river. ",
"The current\ncarries it away out to sea, where it shifts its baleful cargo to a certain\nkettle-shaped ship, which floats in mid-ocean and receives in its\ncapacious hold all the ills that flesh is heir to. ",
"Well would it be with\nmankind if the evils remained for ever tossing far away on the billows;\nbut, alas, they are dispersed from the ship to the four winds, and settle\nagain, and yet again, on the weary Dyak world. ",
"On Dyak rivers you may see\nmany of the miniature houses, laden with manifold misfortunes, bobbing up\nand down on the current, or sticking fast in the thickets that line the\nbanks.(13)\n\n(M5) These examples illustrate the purely beneficent side of the\ntransference of evil; they shew how men seek to alleviate human sufferings\nby diverting them to material objects, which are then thrown away or\notherwise disposed of so as to render them innocuous. ",
"Often, however, the\ntransference of evil to a material object is only a step towards foisting\nit upon a living person. ",
"This is the maleficent side of such\ntransferences. ",
"It is exemplified in the following cases. ",
"To cure toothache\nsome of the Australian blacks apply a heated spear-thrower to the cheek.",
"\nThe spear-thrower is then cast away, and the toothache goes with it in the\nshape of a black stone called _karriitch_. ",
"Stones of this kind are found\nin old mounds and sandhills. ",
"They are carefully collected and thrown in\nthe direction of enemies in order to give them toothache.(14) In Mirzapur\na mode of transferring disease is to fill a pot with flowers and rice and\nbury it in a pathway covered up with a flat stone. ",
"Whoever touches this is\nsupposed to contract the disease. ",
"The practice is called _chalauwa_, or\n\"passing on\" the malady. ",
"This sort of thing goes on daily in Upper India.",
"\nOften while walking of a morning in the bazaar you will see a little pile\nof earth adorned with flowers in the middle of the road. ",
"Such a pile\nusually contains some scabs or scales from the body of a smallpox patient,\nwhich are placed there in the hope that some one may touch them, and by\ncatching the disease may relieve the sufferer.(15) The Bahima, a pastoral\npeople of the Uganda Protectorate, often suffer from deep-seated\nabscesses: \"their cure for this is to transfer the disease to some other\nperson by obtaining herbs from the medicine-man, rubbing them over the\nplace where the swelling is, and burying them in the road where people\ncontinually pass; the first person who steps over these buried herbs\ncontracts the disease, and the original patient recovers.",
"\"(16) The\npractice of the Wagogo of German East Africa is similar. ",
"When a man is\nill, the native doctor will take him to a cross-road, where he prepares\nhis medicines, uttering at the same time the incantations which are\nnecessary to give the drugs their medical virtue. ",
"Part of the dose is then\nadministered to the patient, and part is buried under a pot turned upside\ndown at the cross-road. ",
"It is hoped that somebody will step over the pot,\nand catching the disease, which lurks in the pot, will thereby relieve the\noriginal sufferer. ",
"A variation of this cure is to plaster some of the\nmedicine, or a little of the patient's blood, on a wooden peg and to drive\nthe peg into a tree; any one who passes the tree and is so imprudent as to\ndraw out the peg, will carry away with it the disease.(17)\n\n(M6) Sometimes in case of sickness the malady is transferred to an effigy\nas a preliminary to passing it on to a human being. ",
"Thus among the Baganda\nthe medicine-man would sometimes make a model of his patient in clay; then\na relative of the sick man would rub the image over the sufferer's body\nand either bury it in the road or hide it in the grass by the wayside. ",
"The\nfirst person who stepped over the image or passed by it would catch the\ndisease. ",
"Sometimes the effigy was made out of a plantain-flower tied up so\nas to look like a person; it was used in the same way as the clay figure.",
"\nBut the use of images for this maleficent purpose was a capital crime; any\nperson caught in the act of burying one of them in the public road would\nsurely have been put to death.(18) Among the Sena-speaking people to the\nnorth of the Zambesi, when any one is ill, the doctor makes a little pig\nof straw to which he transfers the sickness. ",
"The little pig is then set on\nthe ground where two paths meet, and any passer-by who chances to kick it\nover is sure to absorb the illness and to draw it away from the\npatient.(19) Among the Korkus, a forest tribe of the Central Provinces in\nIndia, when a person wishes to transfer his sickness to another, he\ncontrives to obtain the loin-cloth of his intended victim and paints two\nfigures on it in lamp black, one upright and the other upside down. ",
"As\nsoon as the owner of the loin-cloth puts it on, he falls a victim to the\nailment which afflicted the artist who drew the figures.(20) Every nine\nyears a Mongol celebrates a memorial festival of his birth for the purpose\nof ensuring the continuance of his life and welfare. ",
"At this solemn\nceremony two lambskins, one black and the other white, are spread on the\nfloor of the hut, which is further covered with a felt carpet, and on the\ncarpet are made nine little ridges of earth brought from nine mountains,\nthe bottom of a river, and a sepulchral mound. ",
"The owner of the hut, for\nwhose benefit the rite is performed, next seats himself on the black\nlambskin, and opposite him is set an effigy of himself made of dough by a\nlama. ",
"The priest then throws a black stone at the effigy, praying that the\nblack arrow of death may pierce it, after which he throws a white stone at\nthe master of the hut, praying that the bright beam of life may endow him\nwith wondrous strength. ",
"After that the Mongol gets up, steps over one of\nthe ridges of earth and says, \"I have overcome a mishap, I have escaped a\ndeath.\" ",
"This ceremony he performs nine times, stepping over all the\nridges, one after the other. ",
"Then he sits down on the white lambskin, and\nthe lama takes the dough effigy, swings it thrice round the man whom it\nrepresents, spits on it thrice, and hands it to attendants who carry it\naway into the steppe. ",
"A little holy water sprinkled over the Mongol now\ncompletes his protection against perils and dangers.(21) This last is a\ncase of the beneficent transference of evil; for in it no attempt seems to\nbe made to shift the burden of misfortune to anybody else.",

"The Transference to Stones and Sticks.",
"\n\n\n(M7) In the western district of the island of Timor, when men or women are\nmaking long and tiring journeys, they fan themselves with leafy branches,\nwhich they afterwards throw away on particular spots where their\nforefathers did the same before them. ",
"The fatigue which they felt is thus\nsupposed to have passed into the leaves and to be left behind. ",
"Others use\nstones instead of leaves.(22) Similarly in the Babar Archipelago tired\npeople will strike themselves with stones, believing that they thus\ntransfer to the stones the weariness which they felt in their own bodies.",
"\nThey then throw away the stones in places which are specially set apart\nfor the purpose.(23) A like belief and practice in many distant parts of\nthe world have given rise to those cairns or heaps of sticks and leaves\nwhich travellers often observe beside the path, and to which every passing\nnative adds his contribution in the shape of a stone, or stick, or leaf.",
"\nThus in the Solomon and Banks' Islands the natives are wont to throw\nsticks, stones, or leaves upon a heap at a place of steep descent, or\nwhere a difficult path begins, saying, \"There goes my fatigue.\" ",
"The act is\nnot a religious rite, for the thing thrown on the heap is not an offering\nto spiritual powers, and the words which accompany the act are not a\nprayer. ",
"It is nothing but a magical ceremony for getting rid of fatigue,\nwhich the simple savage fancies he can embody in a stick, leaf, or stone,\nand so cast it from him.(24)\n\n(M8) An early Spanish missionary to Nicaragua, observing that along the\npaths there were heaps of stones on which the Indians as they passed threw\ngrass, asked them why they did so. \"",
"Because we think,\" was the answer,\n\"that thereby we are kept from weariness and hunger, or at least that we\nsuffer less from them.",
"\"(25) When the Peruvian Indians were climbing steep\nmountains and felt weary, they used to halt by the way at certain points\nwhere there were heaps of stones, which they called _apachitas_. ",
"On these\nheaps the weary men would place other stones, and they said that when they\ndid so, their weariness left them.(26) In the passes of the eastern Andes,\non the borders of Argentina and Bolivia, \"large cairns are constantly\nfound, and every Puna Indian, on passing, adds a stone and a coca leaf, so\nthat neither he nor his beast of burden may tire on the way.",
"\"(27) In the\ncountry of the Tarahumares and Tepehuanes in Mexico heaps of stones and\nsticks may be observed on high points, where the track leads over a ridge\nbetween two or more valleys. \"",
"Every Indian who passes such a pile adds a\nstone or a stick to it in order to gain strength for his journey. ",
"Among\nthe Tarahumares only the old men observe this custom. ",
"Whenever the\nTepehuanes carry a corpse, they rest it for some fifteen minutes on such a\nheap by the wayside that the deceased may not be fatigued but strong\nenough to finish his long journey to the land of the dead. ",
"One of my\nHuichol companions stopped on reaching this pile, pulled up some grass\nfrom the ground and picked up a stone as big as his fist. ",
"Holding both\ntogether he spat on the grass and on the stone and then rubbed them\nquickly over his knees. ",
"He also made a couple of passes with them over his\nchest and shoulders, exclaiming '_Kenestiquai!_' (",
"May I not get tired!)",
"\nand then put the grass on the heap and the stone on top of the grass.",
"\"(28)\nIn Guatemala also piles of stones may be seen at the partings of ways and\non the tops of cliffs and mountains. ",
"Every passing Indian used to gather a\nhandful of grass, rub his legs with it, spit on it, and deposit it with a\nsmall stone on the pile, firmly persuaded that by so doing he would\nrestore their flagging vigour to his weary limbs.(29) Here the rubbing of\nthe limbs with the grass, like the Babar custom of striking the body with\na stone, was doubtless a mode of extracting the fatigue from them as a\npreliminary to throwing it away.",
"\n\n(M9) Similarly on the plateau between Lakes Tanganyika and Nyassa the\nnative carriers, before they ascend a steep hill with their loads, will\npick up a stone, spit on it, rub the calves of their legs with it, and\nthen deposit it on one of those small piles of stones which are commonly\nto be found at such spots in this part of Africa. ",
"A recent English\ntraveller, who noticed the custom, was informed that the carriers practise\nit \"to make their legs light,\"(30) in other words, to extract the fatigue\nfrom them. ",
"On the banks of the Kei river in Southern Africa another\nEnglish traveller noticed some heaps of stones. ",
"On enquiring what they\nmeant, he was told by his guides that when a Caffre felt weary he had but\nto add a stone to the heap to regain fresh vigour.(31) In some parts of\nSouth Africa, particularly on the Zambesi, piles of sticks take the place\nof cairns. \"",
"Sometimes the natives will rub their leg with a stick, and\nthrow the stick on the heap, 'to get rid of fatigue,' they avow. ",
"Others\nsay that throwing a stone on the heap gives one fresh vigour for the\njourney.",
"\"(32)\n\n(M10) From other accounts of the Caffre custom we learn that these cairns\nare generally on the sides or tops of mountains, and that before a native\ndeposits his stone on the pile he spits on it.(33) The practice of\nspitting on the stone which the weary wayfarer lays on the pile is\nprobably a mode of transferring his fatigue the more effectually to the\nmaterial vehicle which is to rid him of it. ",
"We have seen that the practice\nprevails among the Indians of Guatemala and the natives of the Tanganyika\nplateau, and it appears to be observed also under similar circumstances in\nCorea, where the cairns are to be found especially on the tops of\npasses.(34) From the primitive point of view nothing can be more natural\nthan that the cairns or the heaps of sticks and leaves to which the tired\ntraveller adds his contribution should stand at the top of passes and, in\ngeneral, on the highest points of the road. ",
"The wayfarer who has toiled,\nwith aching limbs and throbbing temples, up a long and steep ascent, is\naware of a sudden alleviation as soon as he has reached the summit; he\nfeels as if a weight had been lifted from him, and to the savage, with his\nconcrete mode of thought, it seems natural and easy to cast the weight\nfrom him in the shape of a stone or stick, or a bunch of leaves or of\ngrass. ",
"Hence it is that the piles which represent the accumulated\nweariness of many foot-sore and heavy-laden travellers are to be seen\nwherever the road runs highest in the lofty regions of Bolivia, Tibet,\nBhootan, and Burma,(35) in the passes of the Andes and the Himalayas, as\nwell as in Corea, Caffraria, Guatemala, and Melanesia.",
"\n\n(M11) While the mountaineer Indians of South America imagine that they can\nrid themselves of their fatigue in the shape of a stick or a stone, other\nor the same aborigines of that continent believe that they can let it out\nwith their blood. ",
"A French explorer, who had seen much of the South\nAmerican Indians, tells us that \"they explain everything that they\nexperience by attributing it to sorcery, to the influence of maleficent\nbeings. ",
"Thus an Indian on the march, when he feels weary, never fails to\nascribe his weariness to the evil spirit; and if he has no diviner at\nhand, he wounds himself in the knees, the shoulders, and on the arms in\norder to let out the evil with the blood. ",
"That is why many Indians,\nespecially the Aucas [Araucanians], have always their arms covered with\nscars. ",
"This custom, differently applied, is almost general in America; for\nI found it up to the foot of the Andes, in Bolivia, among the Chiriguana\nand Yuracares nations.",
"\"(36)\n\n(M12) But it is not mere bodily fatigue which the savage fancies he can\nrid himself of by the simple expedient of throwing a stick or a stone.",
"\nUnable clearly to distinguish the immaterial from the material, the\nabstract from the concrete, he is assailed by vague terrors, he feels\nhimself exposed to some ill-defined danger on the scene of any great crime\nor great misfortune. ",
"The place to him seems haunted ground. ",
"The thronging\nmemories that crowd upon his mind, if they are not mistaken by him for\ngoblins and phantoms, oppress his fancy with a leaden weight. ",
"His impulse\nis to flee from the dreadful spot, to shake off the burden that seems to\ncling to him like a nightmare. ",
"This, in his simple sensuous way, he thinks\nhe can do by casting something at the horrid place and hurrying by. ",
"For\nwill not the contagion of misfortune, the horror that clutched at his\nheart-strings, be diverted from himself into the thing? ",
"will it not gather\nup in itself all the evil influences that threatened him, and so leave him\nto pursue his journey in safety and peace? ",
"Some such train of thought, if\nthese gropings and fumblings of a mind in darkness deserve the name of\nthought, seems to explain the custom, observed by wayfarers in many lands,\nof throwing sticks or stones on places where something horrible has\nhappened or evil deeds have been done. ",
"When Sir Francis Younghusband was\ntravelling across the great desert of Gobi his caravan descended, towards\ndusk on a June evening, into a long depression between the hills, which\nwas notorious as a haunt of robbers. ",
"His guide, with a terror-stricken\nface, told how not long before nine men out of a single caravan had been\nmurdered, and the rest left in a pitiable state to continue their journey\non foot across the awful desert. ",
"A horseman, too, had just been seen\nriding towards the hills. \"",
"We had accordingly to keep a sharp look-out,\nand when we reached the foot of the hills, halted, and, taking the loads\noff the camels, wrapped ourselves up in our sheepskins and watched through\nthe long hours of the night. ",
"Day broke at last, and then we silently\nadvanced and entered the hills. ",
"Very weird and fantastic in their rugged\noutline were they, and here and there a cairn of stones marked where some\ncaravan had been attacked, and as we passed these each man threw one more\nstone on the heap.",
"\"(37) In the Norwegian district of Tellemarken a cairn\nis piled up wherever anything fearful has happened, and every passer-by\nmust throw another stone on it, or some evil will befall him.(38) In\nSweden and the Esthonian island of Oesel the same custom is practised on\nscenes of clandestine or illicit love, with the strange addition in Oesel\nthat when a man has lost his cattle he will go to such a spot, and, while\nhe flings a stick or stone on it, will say, \"I bring thee wood. ",
"Let me\nsoon find my lost cattle.",
"\"(39) Far from these northern lands, the Dyaks of\nBatang Lupar keep up an observance of the same sort in the forests of\nBorneo. ",
"Beside their paths may be seen heaps of sticks or stones which are\ncalled \"lying heaps.\" ",
"Each heap is in memory of some man who told a\nstupendous lie or disgracefully failed in carrying out an engagement, and\neverybody who passes adds a stick or stone to the pile, saying as he does\nso, \"For So-and-so's lying heap.",
"\"(40) The Dyaks think it a sacred duty to\nadd to every such \"liar's mound\" (_tugong bula_) which they pass; they\nimagine that the omission of the duty would draw down on them a\nsupernatural punishment. ",
"Hence, however pressed a Dyak may be for time, he\nwill always stop to throw on the pile some branches or twigs.(41) The\nperson to start such a heap is one of the men who has suffered by a\nmalicious lie. ",
"He takes a stick, throws it down on some spot where people\nare constantly passing, and says, \"Let any one who does not add to this\nliar's heap suffer from pains in the head.\" ",
"Others then do likewise, and\nevery passer-by throws a stick on the spot lest he should suffer pains. ",
"In\nthis way the heap often grows to a large size, and the liar by whose name\nit is known is greatly ashamed.(42)\n\n(M13) But it is on scenes of murder and sudden death that this rude method\nof averting evil is most commonly practised. ",
"The custom that every\npasser-by must cast a stone or stick on the spot where some one has come\nto a violent end, whether by murder or otherwise, has been observed in\npractically the same form in such many and diverse parts of the world as\nIreland, France, Spain, Sweden, Germany, Bohemia, <DW26>s, Morocco,\nArmenia, Palestine, Arabia, India, North America, Venezuela, Bolivia,\nCelebes, and New Zealand.(43) In Fiji, for example, it was the practice\nfor every passer-by to throw a leaf on the spot where a man had been\nclubbed to death; \"this was considered as an offering of respect to him,\nand, if not performed, they have a notion they will soon be killed\nthemselves.",
"\"(44) Sometimes the scene of the murder or death may also be\nthe grave of the victim, but it need not always be so, and in Europe,\nwhere the dead are buried in consecrated ground, the two places would\nseldom coincide. ",
"However, the custom of throwing stones or sticks on a\ngrave has undoubtedly been observed by passers-by in many parts of the\nworld, and that, too, even when the graves are not those of persons who\nhave come to a violent end. ",
"Thus we are told that the people of Unalashka,\none of the Aleutian Islands, bury their dead on the summits of hills and\nraise a little hillock over the grave. \"",
"In a walk into the country, one of\nthe natives, who attended me, pointed out several of these receptacles of\nthe dead. ",
"There was one of them, by the side of the road leading from the\nharbour to the village, over which was raised a heap of stones. ",
"It was\nobserved, that every one who passed it, added one to it.",
"\"(45) The\nRoumanians of Transylvania think that a dying man should have a burning\ncandle in his hand, and that any one who dies without a light has no right\nto the ordinary funeral ceremonies. ",
"The body of such an unfortunate is not\nlaid in holy ground, but is buried wherever it may be found. ",
"His grave is\nmarked only by a heap of dry branches, to which each passer-by is expected\nto add a handful of twigs or a thorny bough.(46) The Hottentot god or hero\nHeitsi-eibib died several times and came to life again. ",
"When the\nHottentots pass one of his numerous graves they throw a stone, a bush, or\na fresh branch on it for good luck.(47) Near the former mission-station of\nBlydeuitzigt in Cape Colony there was a spot called Devil's Neck where, in\nthe opinion of the Bushmen, the devil was interred. ",
"To hinder his\nresurrection stones were piled in heaps about the place. ",
"When a Bushman,\ntravelling in the company of a missionary, came in sight of the spot he\nseized a stone and hurled it at the grave, remarking that if he did not do\nso his neck would be twisted round so that he would have to look backwards\nfor the term of his natural life.(48) Stones are cast by passers-by on the\ngraves of murderers in some parts of Senegambia.(49) In Syria deceased\nrobbers are not buried like honest folk, but left to rot where they lie;\nand a pile of stones is raised over the mouldering corpse. ",
"Every one who\npasses such a pile must fling a stone at it, on pain of incurring God's\nmalison.(50) Between sixty and seventy years ago an Englishman was\ntravelling from Sidon to Tyre with a couple of Musalmans. ",
"When he drew\nnear Tyre his companions picked up some small stones, armed him in the\nsame fashion, and requested him to be so kind as to follow their example.",
"\nSoon afterwards they came in sight of a conical heap of pebbles and stones\nstanding in the road, at which the two Musalmans hurled stones and curses\nwith great vehemence and remarkable volubility. ",
"When they had discharged\nthis pious duty to their satisfaction, they explained that the missiles\nand maledictions were directed at a celebrated robber and murderer, who\nhad been knocked on the head and buried there some half a century\nbefore.(51)\n\n(M14) In these latter cases it may perhaps be thought that the sticks and\nstones serve no other purpose than to keep off the angry and dangerous\nghost who might be supposed to haunt either the place of death or the\ngrave. ",
"This interpretation seems certainly to apply to some cases of the\ncustom. ",
"For example, in Pomerania and West Prussia the ghosts of suicides\nare much feared. ",
"Such persons are buried, not in the churchyard, but at\nthe place where they took their lives, and every passer-by must cast a\nstone or a stick on the spot, or the ghost of the suicide will haunt him\nby night and give him no rest. ",
"Hence the piles of sticks or stones\naccumulated on the graves of these poor wretches sometimes attain a\nconsiderable size.(52) Similarly the Baganda of Central Africa used to\nstand in great fear of the ghosts of suicides and they took many\nprecautions to disarm or even destroy these dangerous spirits. ",
"For this\npurpose the bodies of suicides were removed to waste land or cross-roads\nand burned there, together with the wood of the house in which the deed\nhad been done or of the tree on which the person had hanged himself. ",
"By\nthese means they imagined that they destroyed the ghost so that he could\nnot come and lure others to follow his bad example. ",
"Lest, however, the\nghost should survive the destruction of his body by fire, the Baganda, in\npassing any place where a suicide had been burnt, always threw grass or\nsticks on the spot to prevent the ghost from catching them. ",
"And they did\nthe same, for the same reason, whenever they passed the places on waste\nground where persons accused of witchcraft and found guilty by the poison\nordeal had been burnt to death. ",
"Baganda women had a special reason for\ndreading all graves which were believed to be haunted by dangerous ghosts;\nfor, imagining that they could conceive children without intercourse with\nthe other sex, they feared to be impregnated by the entrance into them of\nthe ghosts of suicides and other unfortunate or uncanny people, such as\npersons with a light complexion, twins, and particularly all who had the\nmishap to be born feet foremost. ",
"For that reason Baganda women were at\npains, whenever they passed the graves of any such persons, to throw\nsticks or grass upon them; \"for by so doing they thought that they could\nprevent the ghost of the dead from entering into them, and being reborn.\"",
"\nHence the mounds which accumulated over these graves became in course of\ntime large enough to deflect the path and to attract the attention of\ntravellers. ",
"It was not merely matrons who thus took care not to become\nmothers unaware; the same fears were entertained and the same precautions\nwere adopted by all women, whether old or young, whether married or\nsingle; since they thought that there was no woman, whatever her age or\ncondition, who might not be impregnated by the entrance into her of a\nspirit.(53) In these cases, therefore, the throwing of sticks or grass at\ngraves is a purely defensive measure; the missiles are intended to ward\noff the assaults of dangerous ghosts. ",
"Similarly we are told that in\nMadagascar solitary graves by the wayside have a sinister reputation, and\nthat passers-by, without looking back, will throw stones or clods at them\n\"to prevent the evil spirits from following them.",
"\"(54) The Maraves of\nSouth Africa, like the Baganda, used to burn witches alive and to throw\nstones on the places of execution whenever they passed them, so that in\ntime regular cairns gradually rose on these spots.(55) No doubt with these\nMaraves, as with the Baganda, the motive for throwing missiles at such\nplaces is to protect themselves against the ghosts. ",
"A protective motive is\nalso assigned for a similar custom observed in Chota Nagpur, a region of\nIndia which is the home of many primitive tribes. ",
"There heaps of stones or\nof leaves and branches may often be seen beside the path; they are\nsupposed to mark the places where people have been killed by wild beasts,\nand the natives think that any passer-by who failed to add a stone or a\nstick to the pile would himself be seized and devoured by a wild\nanimal.(56) Here, though the ghost is not explicitly mentioned, we may\nperhaps suppose that out of spite he is instrumental in causing others to\nperish by the same untimely death by which he was himself carried off. ",
"The\nKayans of Borneo imagine that they can put evil spirits to flight by\nhurling sticks or stones at them; so on a journey they will let fly\nvolleys of such missiles at the rocks and dens where demons are known to\nreside.(57) Hence, whenever the throwing of stones at a grave is regarded\nas an insult to the dead, we may suppose that the missiles are intended to\nhit and hurt the ghost. ",
"Thus Euripides represents the murderer Aegisthus\nas leaping on the tomb of his victim Agamemnon and pelting it with\nstones;(58) and Propertius invites all lovers to discharge stones and\ncurses at the dishonoured grave of an old bawd.(59)\n\n(M15) But if this theory seems adequately to account for some cases of the\ncustom with which we are concerned, it apparently fails to explain others.",
"\nThe view that the sticks and stones hurled at certain places are weapons\nturned against dangerous or malignant spirits is plausible in cases where\nsuch spirits are believed to be in the neighbourhood; but in cases where\nno such spirits are thought to be lurking, we must, it would seem, cast\nabout for some other explanation. ",
"For example, we have seen that it has\nbeen customary to throw sticks or stones on spots which have been defiled\nby deeds of moral turpitude without any shedding of blood, and again on\nspots where weary travellers stop to rest. ",
"It is difficult to suppose that\nin these latter cases the evil deeds or the sensations of fatigue are\nconceived in the concrete shape of demons whom it is necessary to repel by\nmissiles, though many South American Indians, as we saw, do attribute\nfatigue to a demon. ",
"Still more difficult is it to apply the purely\ndefensive theory to cases where beneficent spirits are imagined to be\nhovering somewhere near, and where the throwing of the stones or sticks is\napparently regarded by those who practise it as a token of respect rather\nthan of hostility. ",
"Thus amongst the Masai, when any one dies away from the\nkraal, his body is left lying on the spot where he died, and all persons\npresent throw bunches of grass or leaves on the corpse. ",
"Afterwards every\npasser-by casts a stone or a handful of grass on the place, and the more\nthe dead man was respected, the longer is the usage observed.(60) It is\nespecially the graves of Masai medicine-men that are honoured in this\nway.(61) In the forest near Avestad, in Sweden, the traveller, Clarke,\nobserved \"several heaps made with sticks and stones; upon which the\nnatives, as they pass, cast either a stone, or a little earth, or the\nbough of a tree; deeming it an uncharitable act to omit this tribute, in\ntheir journeys to and fro. ",
"As this custom appeared closely allied to the\npious practice in the Highlands of Scotland, of casting a stone upon the\ncairn of a deceased person, we, of course, concluded these heaps were\nplaces of sepulture.\" ",
"They were said to be the graves of a band of\nrobbers, who had plundered merchants on their passage through the forest,\nbut had afterwards been killed and buried where they fell.(62) However, in\nall these cases the practice of throwing stones on the grave, though\ninterpreted as a mark of respect and charity, may really be based on the\nfear of the ghosts, so that the motive for observing the custom may be\nmerely that of self-defence against a dangerous spirit. ",
"Yet this\nexplanation can hardly apply to certain other cases. ",
"Thus in Syria it is a\ncommon practice with pious Moslems, when they first come in sight of a\nvery sacred place, such as Hebron or the tomb of Moses, to make a little\nheap of stones or to add a stone to a heap which has been already made.",
"\nHence every here and there the traveller passes a whole series of such\nheaps by the side of the track.(63) In Northern Africa the usage is\nsimilar. ",
"Cairns are commonly erected on spots from which the devout\npilgrim first discerns the shrine of a saint afar off; hence they are\ngenerally to be seen on the top of passes. ",
"For example, in Morocco, at the\npoint of the road from Casablanca to Azemmour, where you first come in\nsight of the white city of the saint gleaming in the distance, there rises\nan enormous cairn of stones shaped like a pyramid several hundreds of feet\nhigh, and beyond it on both sides of the road there is a sort of avalanche\nof stones, either standing singly or arranged in little pyramids. ",
"Every\npious Mohammedan whose eyes are gladdened by the blessed sight of the\nsacred town adds his stone to one of the piles or builds a little pile for\nhimself.(64)\n\n(M16) Such a custom can hardly be explained as a precaution adopted\nagainst a dangerous influence supposed to emanate from the saint and to\ncommunicate itself even to people at a distance. ",
"On the contrary, it\npoints rather to a desire of communion with the holy man than to a wish to\nkeep him at bay. ",
"The mode of communion adopted, however strange it may\nseem to us, is apparently quite in harmony with the methods by which good\nMohammedans in Northern Africa attempt to appropriate to themselves the\nblessed influence (_baraka_) which is supposed to radiate on all sides\nfrom the person of a living saint. \"",
"It is impossible to imagine,\" we are\ntold, \"the extremity to which the belief in the blessed influence of\nsaints is carried in North Africa. ",
"To form an exact idea of it you must\nsee a great saint in the midst of the faithful. '",
"The people fling\nthemselves down on his path to kiss the skirt of his robe, to kiss his\nstirrup if he is on horseback, to kiss even his footprint if he is on\nfoot. ",
"Those who are too far from him to be able to touch his hand touch\nhim with their staff, or fling a stone at him which they have marked\npreviously so as to be able to find it afterwards and to embrace it\ndevoutly.' \"(",
"65) Thus through the channel of the stone or the stick, which\nhas been in bodily contact with the living saint, his blessed influence\nflows to the devotee who has wielded the stick or hurled the stone. ",
"In\nlike manner we may perhaps suppose that the man who adds a stone to a\ncairn in honour of a dead saint hopes to benefit by the saintly effluence\nwhich distils in a mysterious fashion through the stone to him.(66)\n\n(M17) When we survey the many different cases in which passing travellers\nare accustomed to add stones or sticks to existing piles, it seems\ndifficult, if not impossible, to explain them all on one principle;\ndifferent and even opposite motives appear, at least at first sight, to\nhave operated in different cases to produce customs superficially alike.",
"\nSometimes the motive for throwing the stone is to ward off a dangerous\nspirit; sometimes it is to cast away an evil; sometimes it is to acquire a\ngood. ",
"Yet, perhaps, if we could trace them back to their origin in the\nmind of primitive man, we might find that they all resolve themselves more\nor less exactly into the principle of the transference of evil. ",
"For to rid\nourselves of an evil and to acquire a good are often merely opposite sides\nof one and the same operation; for example, a convalescent regains health\nin exactly the same proportion as he shakes off his malady. ",
"And though the\npractice of throwing stones at dangerous spirits especially at mischievous\nand malignant ghosts of the dead, appears to spring from a different\nmotive, yet it may be questioned whether the difference is really as great\nto the savage as it seems to us. ",
"To primitive man the idea of spiritual\nand ghostly powers is still more indefinite than it is to his civilized\nbrother: it fills him with a vague uneasiness and alarm; and this\nsentiment of dread and horror he, in accordance with his habitual modes of\nthought, conceives in a concrete form as something material which either\nsurrounds and oppresses him like a fog, or has entered into and taken\ntemporary possession of his body. ",
"In either case he imagines that he can\nrid himself of the uncanny thing by stripping it from his skin or\nwrenching it out of his body and transferring it to some material\nsubstance, whether a stick, a stone, or what not, which he can cast from\nhim, and so, being eased of his burden, can hasten away from the dreadful\nspot with a lighter heart. ",
"Thus the throwing of the sticks or stones would\nbe a form of ceremonial purification, which among primitive peoples is\ncommonly conceived as a sort of physical rather than moral purgation, a\nmode of sweeping or scouring away the morbid matter by which the polluted\nperson is supposed to be infected. ",
"This notion perhaps explains the rite\nof stone-throwing observed by pilgrims at Mecca; on the day of sacrifice\nevery pilgrim has to cast seven stones on a cairn, and the rite is\nrepeated thrice on the three following days. ",
"The traditional explanation\nof the custom is that Mohammed here drove away the devil with a shower of\nstones;(67) but the original idea may perhaps have been that the pilgrims\ncleanse themselves by transferring their ceremonial impurity to the stones\nwhich they fling on the heap.",
"\n\n(M18) The theory that the throwing of stones is practised in certain\ncircumstances as a mode of purification tallies very well with the\ntradition as to the origin of those cairns which were to be seen by\nwayside images of Hermes in ancient Greece, and to which every passer-by\nadded a stone. ",
"It was said that when Hermes was tried by the gods for the\nmurder of Argus all the gods flung stones at him as a means of freeing\nthemselves from the pollution contracted by bloodshed; the stones thus\nthrown made a great heap, and the custom of rearing such heaps at wayside\nimages of Hermes continued ever afterwards.(68) Similarly Plato\nrecommended that if any man had murdered his father or mother, his brother\nor sister, his son or daughter, he should be put to death, and that his\nbody should be cast forth naked at a cross-road outside of the city. ",
"There\nthe magistrates should assemble on behalf of the city, each carrying in\nhis hand a stone, which he was to cast at the head of the corpse by way of\npurifying the city from the pollution it had contracted by the crime.",
"\nAfter that the corpse was to be carried away and flung outside the\nboundaries.(69) In these cases it would seem that the pollution incurred\nby the vicinity of a murderer is thought to be gathered up in the stones\nas a material vehicle and to be thrown away with them. ",
"A sacrificial\ncustom of the Brahmans, prescribed in one of their sacred books, is\nsusceptible of a like interpretation. ",
"At a certain stage of the ritual the\nsacrificer is directed to put a stone into a water-pot and to throw it\naway in a south-westerly direction, because that is the region of Nirriti,\nthe goddess of Evil or Destruction. ",
"With the stone and the pitcher he is\nsupposed to cast away his pain and evil; and he can transfer the pain to\nanother by saying, as he throws away the stone and the pitcher, \"Let thy\npain enter him whom we hate,\" or \"Let thy pain enter so-and-so,\" naming\nhis enemy; but in order to ensure the transference of the pain to his\nenemy he must take care that the stone or the pitcher is broken.(70)\n\n(M19) This mode of interpreting the custom of throwing sticks and stones\non piles appears preferable to the one which has generally found favour\nwith European travellers and writers. ",
"Imperfectly acquainted for the most\npart with the notions which underlie primitive magic, but very familiar\nwith the religious conception of a deity who requires sacrifice of his\nworshippers, they are apt to interpret the missiles in question as cheap\nand easy offerings presented by pious but frugal worshippers to ghosts or\nspirits whose favour they desire to win.(71) Whether a likely mode of\nconciliating a ghost or spirit is to throw sticks and stones at him is a\nquestion about which opinions might perhaps differ. ",
"It is difficult to\nspeak with confidence about the tastes of spiritual beings, but as a rule\nthey bear a remarkable likeness to those of mere ordinary mortals, and it\nmay be said without fear of contradiction that few of the latter would be\ngratified by being set up as a common target to be aimed at with sticks\nand stones by everybody who passed within range.(72) Yet it is quite\npossible that a ceremony, which at first was purely magical, may in time\nhave a religious gloss or interpretation put on it even by those who\npractise it; and this seems in fact to have sometimes happened to the\nparticular custom under consideration. ",
"Certainly some people accompany the\nthrowing of the stone on the pile with the presentation of useful\narticles, which can hardly serve any other purpose than that of\npropitiating some local spirits. ",
"Thus travellers in Sikhim and Bhootan\noffer flour and wine, as well as stones, at the cairns; and they also burn\nincense and recite incantations or prayers,(73) or they tear strips from\ntheir garments, tie them to twigs or stones, and then lay them on the\ncairn, calling out to the spirit of the mountain, \"Pray accept our\noffering! ",
"The spirits are victorious! ",
"The devils are defeated!\"(74)\nIndians of Guatemala offered, according to their means, a little cotton,\nsalt, cacao, or chili.(75) They now burn copal and sometimes dance on the\ntops of the passes where the cairns are to be seen, but perhaps these\ndevotions may be paid to the crosses which at the present day are\ngenerally set up in such situations.(76) The Indian of Bolivia will squirt\nout the juice of his coca-quid, or throw the quid itself on the cairn, to\nwhich he adds a stone; occasionally he goes so far as to stick feathers or\na leathern sandal or two on the pile.

"And when he throws the leaf on the heap he prays again,\nsaying, \"I am coming across the river, may the crocodile lay down his\nhead!\"(83) Here the leaves appear to be a propitiatory offering presented\nto the dread goddess in the hope that she will suffer her worshipper to\npass the ford unmolested.

"Not long after it chanced that the king\ndeposed his domestic chaplain from his office. ",
"Naturally chagrined at this\nloss of royal favour, the clergyman repaired to the king's light o' love\nand enquired how she had contrived to recapture the monarch's affection.",

"Then you take my advice,\" said the chaplain; \"just go and spit on\nthe head of Ill Luck, who dwells in the royal park; you will thus transfer\nall your sin to his person.\" ",
"It seemed to the king a capital idea and he\nimproved on it by proposing that the whole army should accompany him and\nget rid of their sins in like manner. ",
"They all did so, beginning with the\nking, and the state of the holy man's head when they had all done is\nsomething frightful to contemplate. ",
"But even this was not the worst. ",
"For\nafter the king had gone, up came the commander-in-chief and seeing the sad\nplight of the pious ascetic, he took pity on him and had his poor\nbedabbled hair thoroughly washed. ",
"The fatal consequences of this\nkindly-meant but most injudicious shampoo may easily be anticipated. ",
"The\nsins which had been transferred with the saliva to the person of the\ndevotee were now restored to their respective owners; and to punish them\nfor their guilt fire fell from heaven and destroyed the whole kingdom for\nsixty leagues round about.(132)\n\n(M29) A less harmless way of relieving an army from guilt or misfortune\nused in former times to be actually practised by the Baganda. ",
"When an army\nhad returned from war, and the gods warned the king by their oracles that\nsome evil had attached itself to the soldiers, it was customary to pick\nout a woman slave from the captives, together with a cow, a goat, a fowl,\nand a dog from the booty, and to send them back under a strong guard to\nthe borders of the country from which they had come. ",
"There their limbs\nwere broken and they were left to die; for they were too crippled to crawl\nback to Uganda. ",
"In order to ensure the transference of the evil to these\nsubstitutes, bunches of grass were rubbed over the people and cattle and\nthen tied to the victims. ",
"After that the army was pronounced clean and was\nallowed to return to the capital. ",
"A similar mode of transferring evil to\nhuman and animal victims was practised by the Baganda whenever the gods\nwarned the king that his hereditary foes the Banyoro were working magic\nagainst him and his people.(133)\n\n(M30) In Travancore, when a rajah is near his end, they seek out a holy\nBrahman, who consents to take upon himself the sins of the dying man in\nconsideration of the sum of ten thousand rupees. ",
"Thus prepared to immolate\nhimself on the altar of duty as a vicarious sacrifice for sin, the saint\nis introduced into the chamber of death, and closely embraces the dying\nrajah, saying to him, \"O King, I undertake to bear all your sins and\ndiseases. ",
"May your Highness live long and reign happily.\" ",
"Having thus,\nwith a noble devotion, taken to himself the sins of the sufferer, and\nlikewise the rupees, he is sent away from the country and never more\nallowed to return.(134) Closely akin to this is the old Welsh custom known\nas \"sin-eating.\" ",
"According to Aubrey, \"In the County of Hereford was an\nold Custome at funeralls to hire poor people, who were to take upon them\nall the sinnes of the party deceased. ",
"One of them I remember lived in a\ncottage on Rosse-high way. (",
"He was a long, leane, ugly, lamentable poor\nraskal.) ",
"The manner was that when the Corps was brought out of the house\nand layd on the Biere; a Loafe of bread was brought out, and delivered to\nthe Sinne-eater over the corps, as also a Mazar-bowle of maple (Gossips\nbowle) full of beer, which he was to drinke up, and sixpence in money, in\nconsideration whereof he took upon him (ipso facto) all the Sinnes of the\nDefunct, and freed him (or her) from walking after they were dead.... This\nCustome (though rarely used in our dayes) yet by some people was observed\neven in the strictest time of ye Presbyterian government: as at Dynder,\nvolens nolens the Parson of ye Parish, the kinred of a woman deceased\nthere had this ceremonie punctually performed according to her Will: and\nalso the like was donne at ye City of Hereford in these times, when a\nwoman kept many yeares before her death a Mazard-bowle for the\nSinne-eater; and the like in other places in this Countie; as also in\nBrecon, _e.g._ at Llangors, where Mr. Gwin the minister about 1640 could\nno hinder ye performing of this ancient custome. ",
"I believe this custom was\nheretofore used over all Wales.... In North Wales the Sinne-eaters are\nfrequently made use of; but there, instead of a Bowle of Beere, they have\na bowle of Milke.",
"\"(135) According to a letter dated February 1, 1714-15,\n\"within the memory of our fathers, in Shropshire, in those villages\nadjoyning to Wales, when a person dyed, there was notice given to an old\nsire (for so they called him), who presently repaired to the place where\nthe deceased lay, and stood before the door of the house, when some of the\nfamily came out and furnished him with a cricket, on which he sat down\nfacing the door. ",
"Then they gave him a groat, which he put in his pocket; a\ncrust of bread, which he eat; and a full bowle of ale, which he drank off\nat a draught. ",
"After this he got up from the cricket and pronounced, with a\ncomposed gesture, the ease and rest of the soul departed for which he\nwould pawn his own soul. ",
"This I had from the ingenious John Aubrey,\nEsq.",
"\"(136) In modern times some doubt has been thrown on Aubrey's account\nof the custom.(137) The practice, however, is reported to have prevailed\nin a valley not far from Llandebie to a recent period. ",
"An instance was\nsaid to have occurred about sixty years ago.(138)\n\n(M31) Aubrey's statement is moreover supported by the analogy of similar\ncustoms in India. ",
"When the Rajah of Tanjore died in 1801, some of his\nbones and the bones of the two wives, who were burned with his corpse,\nwere ground to powder and eaten, mixed with boiled rice, by twelve\nBrahmans. ",
"It was believed that the sins of the deceased passed into the\nbodies of the Brahmans, who were paid for the service.(139) A Brahman,\nresident in a village near Raipur, stated that he had eaten food (rice and\nmilk) out of the hand of the dead Rajah of Bilaspur, and that in\nconsequence he had been placed on the throne for the space of a year. ",
"At\nthe end of the year he had been given presents and then turned out of the\nterritory and forbidden apparently to return. ",
"He was an outcast among his\nfellows for having eaten out of a dead man's hand.(140) A similar custom\nis believed to obtain in the hill states about Kangra, and to have given\nrise to a caste of \"outcaste\" Brahmans. ",
"At the funeral of a Rani of Chamba\nrice and ghee were eaten out of the hands of the corpse by a Brahman paid\nfor the purpose. ",
"Afterwards a stranger, who had been caught outside the\nChamba territory, was given the costly wrappings of the corpse, then told\nto depart and never shew his face in the country again.(141) In Oude when\nan infant was killed it used to be buried in the room where it had been\nborn. ",
"On the thirteenth day afterwards the priest had to cook and eat his\nfood in that room. ",
"By doing so he was supposed to take the whole sin upon\nhimself and to cleanse the family from it.(142) At Utch Kurgan in\nTurkestan Mr. Schuyler saw an old man who was said to get his living by\ntaking on himself the sins of the dead, and thenceforth devoting his life\nto prayer for their souls.(143)\n\n(M32) In Tahiti, where the bodies of chiefs and persons of rank were\nembalmed and preserved above ground in special sheds or houses erected for\nthem, a priest was employed at the funeral rites who bore the title of the\n\"corpse-praying priest.\" ",
"His office was singular. ",
"When the house for the\ndead had been prepared, and the corpse placed on the platform or bier, the\npriest ordered a hole to be made in the floor, near the foot of the\nplatform. ",
"Over this he prayed to the god by whom it was supposed that the\nsoul of the deceased had been called away. ",
"The purport of his prayer was\nthat all the dead man's sins, especially the one for which his soul had\nbeen required of him, might be deposited there, that they might not attach\nin any degree to the survivors, and that the anger of the god might be\nappeased. ",
"He next addressed the corpse, usually saying, \"With you let the\nguilt now remain.\" ",
"The pillar or post of the corpse, as it was called, was\nthen planted in the hole, and the hole filled up. ",
"As soon as the ceremony\nof depositing the sins in the hole was over, all who had touched the body\nor the garments of the deceased, which were buried or destroyed, fled\nprecipitately into the sea, to cleanse themselves from the pollution which\nthey had contracted by touching the corpse. ",
"They also cast into the sea\nthe garments they had worn while they were performing the last offices to\nthe dead. ",
"Having finished their ablutions, they gathered a few pieces of\ncoral from the bottom of the sea, and returning with them to the house\naddressed the corpse, saying, \"With you may the pollution be.\" ",
"So saying\nthey threw down the coral on the top of the hole which had been dug to\nreceive the sins and the defilement of the dead.(144) In this instance the\nsins of the departed, as well as the pollution which the primitive mind\ncommonly associates with death, are not borne by a living person, but\nburied in a hole. ",
"Yet the fundamental idea--that of the transference of\nsins--is the same in the Tahitian as in the Welsh and Indian customs;\nwhether the vehicle or receptacle destined to catch and draw off the evil\nbe a person, an animal, or a thing, is for the purpose in hand a matter of\nlittle moment.(145)\n\n\n\n\n§ 5. ",
"The Transference of Evil in Europe.",
"\n\n\n(M33) The examples of the transference of evil hitherto adduced have been\nmostly drawn from the customs of savage or barbarous peoples. ",
"But similar\nattempts to shift the burden of disease, misfortune, and sin from one's\nself to another person, or to an animal or thing, have been common also\namong the civilized nations of Europe, both in ancient and modern times. ",
"A\nRoman cure for fever was to pare the patient's nails, and stick the\nparings with wax on a neighbour's door before sunrise; the fever then\npassed from the sick man to his neighbour.(146) Similar devices must have\nbeen resorted to by the Greeks; for in laying down laws for his ideal\nstate, Plato thinks it too much to expect that men should not be alarmed\nat finding certain wax figures adhering to their doors or to the\ntombstones of their parents, or lying at cross-roads.(147) Among the ruins\nof the great sanctuary of Aesculapius, which were excavated not very long\nago in an open valley among the mountains of Epidaurus, inscriptions have\nbeen found recording the miraculous cures which the god of healing\nperformed for his faithful worshippers. ",
"One of them tells how a certain\nPandarus, a Thessalian, was freed from the letters which, as a former\nslave or prisoner of war, he bore tattooed or branded on his brow. ",
"He\nslept in the sanctuary with a fillet round his head, and in the morning he\ndiscovered to his joy that the marks of shame--the blue or scarlet\nletters--had been transferred from his brow to the fillet. ",
"By and by there\ncame to the sanctuary a wicked man, also with brands or tattoo marks on\nhis face, who had been charged by Pandarus to pay his debt of gratitude to\nthe god, and had received the cash for the purpose. ",
"But the cunning fellow\nthought to cheat the god and keep the money all to himself. ",
"So when the\ngod appeared to him in a dream and asked anxiously after the money, he\nboldly denied that he had it, and impudently prayed the god to remove the\nugly marks from his own brazen brow. ",
"He was told to tie the fillet of\nPandarus about his head, then to take it off, and look at his face in the\nwater of the sacred well. ",
"He did so, and sure enough he saw on his\nforehead the marks of Pandarus in addition to his own.(148) In the fourth\ncentury of our era Marcellus of Bordeaux prescribed a cure for warts,\nwhich has still a great vogue among the superstitious in various parts of\nEurope. ",
"Doubtless it was an old traditional remedy in the fourth, and will\nlong survive the expiry of the twentieth, century. ",
"You are to touch your\nwarts with as many little stones as you have warts; then wrap the stones\nin an ivy leaf, and throw them away in a thoroughfare. ",
"Whoever picks them\nup will get the warts, and you will be rid of them.(149) A similar cure\nfor warts, with such trifling variations as the substitution of peas or\nbarley for pebbles, and a rag or a piece of paper for an ivy leaf, has\nbeen prescribed in modern times in Italy, France, Austria, England, and\nScotland.(150) Another favourite way of passing on your warts to somebody\nelse is to make as many knots in a string as you have warts; then throw\nthe string away or place it under a stone. ",
"Whoever treads on the stone or\npicks up the thread will get the warts instead of you; sometimes to\ncomplete the transference it is thought necessary that he should undo the\nknots.(151) Or you need only place the knotted thread before sunrise in\nthe spout of a pump; the next person who works the pump will be sure to\nget your warts.(152) Equally effective methods are to rub the troublesome\nexcrescences with down or fat, or to bleed them on a rag, and then throw\naway the down, the fat, or the bloody rag. ",
"The person who picks up one or\nother of these things will be sure to release you from your warts by\ninvoluntarily transferring them to himself.(153) People in the Orkney\nIslands will sometimes wash a sick man, and then throw the water down at a\ngateway, in the belief that the sickness will leave the patient and be\ntransferred to the first person who passes through the gate.(154) A\nBavarian cure for fever is to write upon a piece of paper, \"Fever, stay\naway, I am not at home,\" and to put the paper in somebody's pocket. ",
"The\nlatter then catches the fever, and the patient is rid of it.(155) Or the\nsufferer may cure himself by sticking a twig of the elder-tree in the\nground without speaking. ",
"The fever then adheres to the twig, and whoever\npulls up the twig will catch the disease.(156) A Bohemian prescription for\nthe same malady is this. ",
"Take an empty pot, go with it to a cross-road,\nthrow it down, and run away. ",
"The first person who kicks against the pot\nwill catch your fever, and you will be cured.(157) In Oldenburg they say\nthat when a person lies sweating with fever, he should take a piece of\nmoney to himself in bed. ",
"The money is afterwards thrown away on the\nstreet, and whoever picks it up will catch the fever, but the original\npatient will be rid of it.(158)\n\n(M34) Often in Europe, as among savages, an attempt is made to transfer a\npain or malady from a man to an animal. ",
"Grave writers of antiquity\nrecommended that, if a man be stung by a scorpion, he should sit upon an\nass with his face to the tail, or whisper in the animal's ear, \"A scorpion\nhas stung me\"; in either case, they thought, the pain would be transferred\nfrom the man to the ass.(159) Many cures of this sort are recorded by\nMarcellus. ",
"For example, he tells us that the following is a remedy for\ntoothache. ",
"Standing booted under the open sky on the ground, you catch a\nfrog by the head, spit into its mouth, ask it to carry away the ache, and\nthen let it go. ",
"But the ceremony must be performed on a lucky day and at a\nlucky hour.(160) In Cheshire the ailment known as aphtha or thrush, which\naffects the mouth or throat of infants, is not uncommonly treated in much\nthe same manner. ",
"A young frog is held for a few moments with its head\ninside the mouth of the sufferer, whom it is supposed to relieve by taking\nthe malady to itself. \"",
"I assure you,\" said an old woman who had often\nsuperintended such a cure, \"we used to hear the poor frog whooping and\ncoughing, mortal bad, for days after; it would have made your heart ache\nto hear the poor creature coughing as it did about the garden.",
"\"(161) Again\nMarcellus tells us that if the foam from a mule's mouth, mixed with warm\nwater, be drunk by an asthmatic patient, he will at once recover, but the\nmule will die.(162) An ancient cure for the gripes, recorded both by Pliny\nand Marcellus, was to put a live duck to the belly of the sufferer; the\npains passed from the man into the bird, to which they proved fatal.(163)\nAccording to the same writers a stomachic complaint of which the cause was\nunknown might be cured by applying a blind puppy to the suffering part for\nthree days. ",
"The secret disorder thus passed into the puppy; it died, and a\npost-mortem examination of its little body revealed the cause of the\ndisease from which the man had suffered and of which the dog had\ndied.(164) Once more, Marcellus advises that when a man was afflicted with\na disorder of the intestines the physician should catch a live hare, take\nthe huckle-bone from one of its feet and the down from the belly, then let\nthe hare go, pronouncing as he did so the words, \"Run away, run away,\nlittle hare, and take away with you the intestine pain.\" ",
"Further, the\ndoctor was to fashion the down into thread, with which he was to tie the\nhuckle-bone to the patient's body, taking great care that the thread\nshould not be touched by any woman.(165) A Northamptonshire, Devonshire,\nand Welsh cure for a cough is to put a hair of the patient's head between\ntwo slices of buttered bread and give the sandwich to a dog. ",
"The animal\nwill thereupon catch the cough and the patient will lose it.(166)\nSometimes an ailment is transferred to an animal by sharing food with it.",
"\nThus in Oldenburg, if you are sick of a fever you set a bowl of sweet milk\nbefore a dog and say, \"Good luck, you hound! ",
"may you be sick and I be\nsound!\" ",
"Then when the dog has lapped some of the milk, you take a swig at\nthe bowl; and then the dog must lap again, and then you must swig again;\nand when you and the dog have done it the third time, he will have the\nfever and you will be quit of it. ",
"A peasant woman in Abbehausen told her\npastor that she suffered from fever for a whole year and found no relief.",
"\nAt last somebody advised her to give some of her food to a dog and a cat.",
"\nShe did so and the fever passed from her into the animals. ",
"But when she\nsaw the poor sick beasts always before her, she wished it undone. ",
"Then the\nfever left the cat and the dog and returned to her.(167)\n\n(M35) A Bohemian cure for fever is to go out into the forest before the\nsun is up and look for a snipe's nest. ",
"When you have found it, take out\none of the young birds and keep it beside you for three days. ",
"Then go back\ninto the wood and set the snipe free. ",
"The fever will leave you at once.",
"\nThe snipe has taken it away. ",
"So in Vedic times the Hindoos of old sent\nconsumption away with a blue jay. ",
"They said, \"O consumption, fly away, fly\naway with the blue jay! ",

"When the birds carry the hair to their nests, they will carry\nthe cough with it.(170) In the Mark of Brandenburg a cure for headache is\nto tie a thread thrice round your head and then hang it in a loop from a\ntree; if a bird flies through the loop, it will take your headache away\nwith it.(171) A Saxon remedy for rupture in a child is to take a snail,\nthrust it at sunset into a hollow tree, and stop up the hole with clay.",

"Take a\nliving tench, tie it to your bare back and carry it about with you for a\nwhole day. ",
"The tench will turn quite yellow and die. ",
"Then throw it into\nrunning water, and your jaundice will depart with it.(173) In the village\nof Llandegla in Wales there is a church dedicated to the virgin martyr St.\nTecla, where the falling sickness is, or used to be, cured by being\ntransferred to a fowl. ",
"The patient first washed his limbs in a sacred well\nhard by, dropped fourpence into it as an offering, walked thrice round the\nwell, and thrice repeated the Lord's prayer. ",
"Then the fowl, which was a\ncock or a hen according as the patient was a man or a woman, was put into\na basket and carried round first the well and afterwards the church. ",
"Next\nthe sufferer entered the church and lay down under the communion table\ntill break of day. ",
"After that he offered sixpence and departed, leaving\nthe fowl in the church. ",
"If the bird died, the sickness was supposed to\nhave been transferred to it from the man or woman, who was now rid of the\ndisorder. ",
"As late as 1855 the old parish clerk of the village remembered\nquite well to have seen the birds staggering about from the effects of the\nfits which had been transferred to them.(174) In South Glamorgan and West\nPembrokeshire it is thought possible to get rid of warts by means of a\nsnail. ",
"You take a snail with a black shell, you rub it on each wart and\nsay,\n\n\n \"_Wart, wart, on the snail's shell black,_\n _Go away soon, and never come back._\"",
"\n\n\nThen you put the snail on the branch of a tree or bramble and you nail it\ndown with as many thorns as you have warts. ",
"When the snail has rotted away\non the bough, your warts will have vanished. ",
"Another Welsh cure for warts\nis to impale a frog on a stick and then to rub the warts on the creature.",

"Fever patients resort\nthither, and by attaching a waxed thread to the inner side of the column\nbelieve that they transfer the fever from themselves to the pillar.(176)\nIn the Mark of Brandenburg they say that if you suffer from giddiness you\nshould strip yourself naked and run thrice round a flax-field after\nsunset; in that way the flax will get the giddiness and you will be rid of\nit.(177) Sometimes an attempt is made to transfer the mischief, whatever\nit may be, to the moon. ",
"In Oldenburg a peasant related how he rid himself\nof a bony excrescence by stroking it thrice crosswise in the name of the\nTrinity, and then making a gesture as if he were seizing the deformity and\nhurling it towards the moon. ",
"In the same part of Germany a cure for warts\nis to stand in the light of a waxing moon so that you cannot see your own\nshadow, then hold the disfigured hand towards the moon, and stroke it with\nthe other hand in the direction of the luminary. ",
"Some say that in doing\nthis you should pronounce these words, \"Moon, free me from these\nvermin.",
"\"(178)\n\n(M37) But perhaps the thing most commonly employed in Europe as a\nreceptacle for sickness and trouble of all sorts is a tree or bush. ",
"The\nmodes of transferring the mischief to it are many. ",
"For example, the\nEsthonians say that you ought not to go out of the house on a spring\nmorning before you have eaten or drunk; for if you do, you may chance to\nhear one of \"the sounds which are not heard in winter,\" such as the song\nof a bird, and that would be unlucky. ",
"They think that if you thus let\nyourself be deceived or outwitted, as they call it, by a bird, you will be\nvisited by all sorts of ill-luck during the year; indeed it may very well\nhappen that you will fall sick and die before another spring comes round.",
"\nHowever, there is a way of averting the evil. ",
"You have merely to embrace a\ntree or go thrice round it, biting into the bark each time or tearing away\na strip of the bark with your teeth. ",
"Thus the bad luck passes from you to\nthe tree, which accordingly withers away.(179) In Sicily it is believed\nthat all kinds of marvellous cures can be effected on the night which\nprecedes Ascension Day. ",
"For example, people who suffer from goitre bite\nthe bark of a peach-tree just at the moment when the clocks are striking\nmidnight. ",
"Thus the malady is transferred to the sap of the tree, and its\nleaves wither away in exact proportion as the patient recovers. ",
"But in\norder that the cure may be successful it is absolutely essential that the\nbark should be bitten at midnight precisely; a bite before or after that\nwitching hour is labour thrown away.(180) On St. George's Day, South\nSlavonian lads and lasses climb thrice up and down a cornel-tree, saying,\n\"My laziness and sleepiness to you, cornel-tree, but health and booty (?)",
"\nto me.\" ",
"Then as they wend homewards they turn once more towards the tree\nand call out, \"Cornel-tree! ",
"cornel-tree! ",
"I leave you my laziness and\nsleepiness.",
"\"(181) The same people attempt to cure fever by transferring it\nto a dwarf elder-bush. ",
"Having found such a bush with three shoots\nspringing from the root, the patient grasps the points of the three shoots\nin his hand, bends them down to the ground, and fastens them there with a\nstone. ",
"Under the arch thus formed he creeps thrice; then he cuts off or\ndigs up the three shoots, saying, \"In three shoots I cut three sicknesses\nout. ",
"When these three shoots grow young again, may the fever come\nback.",
"\"(182) A Bulgarian cure for fever is to run thrice round a\nwillow-tree at sunrise, crying, \"The fever shall shake thee, and the sun\nshall warm me.",
"\"(183) In the Greek island of Karpathos the priest ties a\nred thread round the neck of a sick person. ",
"Next morning the friends of\nthe patient remove the thread and go out to the hillside, where they tie\nthe thread to a tree, thinking that they thus transfer the sickness to the\ntree.(184) Italians attempt to cure fever in like manner by fastening it\nto a tree. ",
"The sufferer ties a thread round his left wrist at night, and\nhangs the thread on a tree next morning. ",
"The fever is thus believed to be\ntied up to the tree, and the patient to be rid of it; but he must be\ncareful not to pass by that tree again, otherwise the fever would break\nloose from its bonds and attack him afresh.(185) An old French remedy for\nfever was to bind the patient himself to a tree and leave him there for a\ntime; some said that the ceremony should be performed fasting and early in\nthe morning, that the cord or straw rope with which the person was bound\nto the tree should be left there to rot, and that the sufferer should bite\nthe bark of the tree before returning home.(186) In Bohemia the friends of\na fever patient will sometimes carry him head foremost, by means of straw\nropes, to a bush, on which they dump him down. ",
"Then he must jump up and\nrun home. ",
"The friends who carried him also flee, leaving the straw ropes\nand likewise the fever behind them on the bush.(187)\n\n(M38) Sometimes the sickness is transferred to the tree by making a knot\nin one of its boughs. ",
"Thus in Mecklenburg a remedy for fever is to go\nbefore sunrise to a willow-tree and tie as many knots in one of its\nbranches as the fever has lasted days; but going and coming you must be\ncareful not to speak a word.(188) A Flemish cure for the ague is to go\nearly in the morning to an old willow, tie three knots in one of its\nbranches, say, \"Good-morrow, Old One, I give thee the cold; good-morrow,\nOld One,\" then turn and run away without looking round.(189) In Rhenish\nBavaria the cure for gout is similar. ",
"The patient recites a spell or\nprayer while he stands at a willow-bush holding one of its boughs. ",
"When\nthe mystic words have been spoken, he ties a knot in the bough and departs\ncured. ",
"But all his life long he must never go near that willow-bush again,\nor the gout will come back to him.(190) In Sonnenberg, if you would rid\nyourself of gout you should go to a young fir-tree and tie a knot in one\nof its twigs, saying, \"God greet thee, noble fir. ",
"I bring thee my gout.",
"\nHere will I tie a knot and bind my gout into it. ",
"In the name,\" etc.(191)\nNot far from Marburg, at a place called Neuhof, there is a wood of\nbirches. ",
"Thither on a morning before sunrise, in the last quarter of the\nmoon, bands of gouty people may often be seen hobbling in silence. ",
"Each of\nthem takes his stand before a separate tree and pronounces these solemn\nwords: \"Here stand I before the judgment bar of God and tie up all my\ngout. ",
"All the disease in my body shall remain tied up in this birch-tree.\"",
"\nMeanwhile the good physician ties a knot in a birch-twig, repeating\nthrice, \"In the name of the Father,\" etc.(192)\n\n(M39) Another way of transferring gout from a man to a tree is this. ",
"Pare\nthe nails of the sufferer's fingers and clip some hairs from his legs.",
"\nBore a hole in an oak, stuff the nails and hair in the hole, stop up the\nhole again, and smear it with cow's dung. ",
"If, for three months thereafter,\nthe patient is free of gout, you may be sure the oak has it in his\nstead.(193) A German cure for toothache is to bore a hole in a tree and\ncram some of the sufferer's hair into it.(194) In these cases, though no\ndoubt the tree suffers the pangs of gout or toothache respectively, it\ndoes so with a sort of stoical equanimity, giving no outward and visible\nsign of the pains that rack it inwardly. ",
"It is not always so, however. ",
"The\ntree cannot invariably suppress every symptom of its suffering. ",
"It may\nhide its toothache, but it cannot so easily hide its warts. ",
"In Cheshire if\nyou would be rid of warts, you have only to rub them with a piece of\nbacon, cut a slit in the bark of an ash-tree, and slip the bacon under the\nbark. ",
"Soon the warts will disappear from your hand, only however to\nreappear in the shape of rough excrescences or knobs on the bark of the\ntree.(195) Again in Beauce and Perche, two provinces of France, fever may\nbe transferred to a young aspen by inserting the parings of the patient's\nnails in the tree and then plastering up the hole to prevent the fever\nfrom getting out. ",
"But the operation must be performed by night.(196) How\nsubject an aspen is to fever must be obvious to the meanest capacity from\nthe trembling of its leaves in every breath of wind; nothing therefore can\nbe easier or more natural than to transfer the malady, with its fits of\nshaking, to the tree. ",
"At Berkhampstead, in Hertfordshire, there used to be\ncertain oak-trees which were long celebrated for the cure of ague. ",
"The\ntransference of the malady to the tree was simple but painful. ",
"A lock of\nthe sufferer's hair was pegged into an oak; then by a sudden wrench he\nleft his hair and his ague behind him in the tree.(197)\n\n(M40) It seems clear that, though you may stow away your pain or sickness\nin a tree, there is a considerable risk of its coming out again. ",
"To\nobviate this danger common prudence suggests that you should plug or bung\nup the hole as tight as you can. ",
"And this, as we should naturally expect,\nis often done. ",
"A German cure for toothache or headache is to wrap some of\nthe sufferer's cut hair and nails in paper, make a hole in the tree, stuff\nthe parcel into it, and stop up the hole with a plug made from a tree\nwhich has been struck by lightning.(198) In Bohemia they say that, if you\nfeel the fever coming on, you should pull out some of your hair, tear off\na strip of a garment you are wearing, and bore a hole in a willow-tree.",
"\nHaving done so, you put the hair and the rag in the hole and stop it up\nwith a wedge of hawthorn. ",
"Then go home without looking back, and if a\nvoice calls to you, be sure not to answer. ",
"When you have complied with\nthis prescription, the fever will cease.(199) In Oldenburg a common remedy\nfor fever is to bore a hole in a tree, breathe thrice into the hole, and\nthen plug it up. ",
"Once a man who had thus shut up his fever in a tree was\njeered at by a sceptical acquaintance for his credulity. ",
"So he went\nsecretly to the tree and drew the stopper, and out came that fever and\nattacked the sceptic.(200) Sometimes they say that the tree into which you\nthus breathe your fever or ague should be a hollow willow, and that in\ngoing to the tree you should be careful not to utter a word, and not to\ncross water.(201) Again, we read of a man who suffered acute pains in his\narm. ",
"So \"they beat up red corals with oaken leaves, and having kept them\non the part affected till suppuration, they did in the morning put this\nmixture into an hole bored with an auger in the root of an oak, respecting\nthe east, and stop up this hole with a peg made of the same tree; from\nthenceforth the pain did altogether cease, and when they took out the\namulet immediately the torments returned sharper than before.",
"\"(202) These\nfacts seem to put it beyond the reach of reasonable doubt that the pain or\nmalady is actually in the tree and waiting to pop out, if only it gets the\nchance.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 6. ",
"The Nailing of Evils.",
"\n\n\n(M41) Often the patient, without troubling to bore a hole in the tree,\nmerely knocks a wedge, a peg, or a nail into it, believing that he thus\npegs or nails the sickness or pain into the wood. ",
"Thus a Bohemian cure for\nfever is to go to a tree and hammer a wedge into it with the words \"There,\nI knock you in, that you may come no more out to me.",
"\"(203) A German way of\ngetting rid of toothache is to go in silence before sunrise to a tree,\nespecially a willow-tree, make a slit in the bark on the north side of the\ntree, or on the side that looks towards the sunrise, cut out a splinter\nfrom the place thus laid bare, poke the splinter into the aching tooth\ntill blood comes, then put back the splinter in the tree, fold down the\nbark over it, and tie a string round the trunk, that the splinter may grow\ninto the trunk as before. ",
"As it does so, your pain will vanish; but you\nmust be careful not to go near the tree afterwards, or you will get the\ntoothache again. ",
"And any one who pulls the splinter out will also get the\ntoothache. ",
"He has in fact uncorked the toothache which was safely bottled\nup in the tree, and he must take the natural consequence of his rash\nact.(204) A simpler plan, practised in Persia as well as in France and\nGermany, is merely to scrape the aching tooth with a nail or a twig till\nit bleeds, and then hammer the nail or the twig into a tree. ",
"In the\nVosges, in Voigtland, and probably elsewhere, it is believed that any\nperson who should draw out such a nail or twig would get the\ntoothache.(205) An old lime-tree at Evessen, in Brunswick, is studded with\nnails of various shapes, including screw-nails, which have been driven\ninto it by persons who suffered from aching teeth.(206) In the Mark of\nBrandenburg they say that the ceremony should be performed when the moon\nis on the wane, and that the bloody nail should be knocked, without a word\nbeing spoken, into the north side of an oak-tree, where the sun cannot\nshine on it; after that the person will have no more toothache so long as\nthe tree remains standing.(207) Here it is plainly implied that the\ntoothache is bottled up in the tree. ",
"If further proof were needed that in\nsuch cases the malady is actually transferred to the tree and stowed away\nin its trunk, it would be afforded by the belief that if the tree is cut\ndown the toothache will return to the original sufferer.(208) Rupture as\nwell as toothache can be nailed to an oak. ",
"For that purpose all that need\nbe done is to take a coffin-nail and touch with it the injured part of the\npatient; then set the sufferer barefoot before an oak-tree, and knock the\nnail into the trunk above his head. ",
"That transfers the rupture to the\ntree, and that is why you may often see the boles of ancient oaks studded\nwith nails.(209)\n\n(M42) Such remedies are not confined to Europe. ",
"At Bilda in Algeria, there\nis a sacred old olive-tree, in which pilgrims, especially women, knock\nnails for the purpose of ridding themselves of their ailments and\ntroubles.(210) Again, the Majhwars, a Dravidian tribe in the hill country\nof South Mirzapur, believe that all disease is due to ghosts, but that\nghosts, when they become troublesome, can be shut up in a certain tree,\nwhich grows on a little islet in a very deep pool of the Sukandar, a\ntributary of the Kanhar river. ",
"Accordingly, when the country is infested\nby ghosts, in other words when disease is raging, a skilful wizard seeks\nfor a piece of deer-horn in the jungle. ",
"When he has found it, he hammers\nit with a stone into the tree and thus shuts up the ghost. ",
"The tree is\ncovered with hundreds of such pieces of horn.(211) Again, when a new\nsettlement is being made in some parts of the North-Western Provinces of\nIndia, it is deemed necessary to apprehend and lay by the heels the local\ndeities, who might otherwise do a deal of mischief to the intruders on\ntheir domain. ",
"A sorcerer is called in to do the business. ",
"For days he\nmarches about the place mustering the gods to the tuck of drum. ",
"When they\nare all assembled, two men known as the Earthman and the Leafman, who\nrepresent the gods of the earth and of the trees respectively, become full\nof the spirit, being taken possession of bodily by the local deities. ",
"In\nthis exalted state they shout and caper about in a fine frenzy, and their\nseemingly disjointed ejaculations, which are really the divine voice\nspeaking through them, are interpreted by the sorcerer. ",
"When the critical\nmoment has come, the wizard rushes in between the two incarnations of\ndivinity, clutches at the spirits which are hovering about them in the\nair, and pours grains of sesame through their hands into a perforated\npiece of the wood of the sacred fig-tree. ",
"Then without a moment's delay he\nplasters up the hole with a mixture of clay and cow-dung, and carefully\nburies the piece of wood on the spot which is to be the shrine of the\nlocal deities. ",
"Needless to say that the gods themselves are bunged up in\nthe wood and are quite incapable of doing further mischief, provided\nalways that the usual offerings are made to them at the shrine where they\nlive in durance vile.(212) In this case the source of mischief is\nimprisoned, not in a tree, but in a piece of one; but the principle is\nclearly the same. ",
"Similarly in Corea an English lady observed at a\ncross-road a small log with several holes like those of a mouse-trap, one\nof which was plugged up doubly with bungs of wood. ",
"She was told that a\ndemon, whose ravages spread sickness in a family, had been inveigled by a\nsorceress into that hole and securely bunged up. ",
"It was thought proper for\nall passers-by to step over the incarcerated devil, whether to express\ntheir scorn and abhorrence of him, or more probably as a means of keeping\nhim forcibly down.(213) In Cochinchina a troublesome ghost can be confined\nto the grave by the simple process of knocking a nail or thrusting a bar\nof iron into the earth at the point where the head of the corpse may be\npresumed to repose.(214)\n\n(M43) From knocking the mischief into a tree or a log it is only a step to\nknocking it into a stone, a door-post, a wall, or such like. ",
"At the head\nof Glen Mor, near Port Charlotte, in Islay, there may be seen a large\nboulder, and it is said that whoever drives a nail into this stone will\nthereafter be secure from attacks of toothache. ",
"A farmer in Islay told an\nenquirer some years ago how a passing stranger once cured his grandmother\nof toothache by driving a horse-nail into the lintel of the kitchen door,\nwarning her at the same time to keep the nail there, and if it should come\nloose just to tap it with a hammer till it had a grip again. ",
"She had no\nmore toothache for the rest of her life.(215) In Brunswick it is open to\nany one to nail his toothache either into a wall or into a tree, as he\nthinks fit; the pain is cured quite as well in the one way as in the\nother.(216) So in Beauce and Perche a healer has been known to place a new\nnail on the aching tooth of a sufferer and then knock the nail into a\ndoor, a beam, or a joist.(217) The procedure in North Africa is similar.",
"\nYou write certain Arabic letters and numbers on the wall; then, while the\npatient puts a finger on the aching tooth, you knock a nail, with a light\ntap of a hammer, into the first letter on the wall, reciting a verse of\nthe Coran as you do so. ",
"Next you ask the sufferer whether the pain is now\nabated, and if he says \"Yes\" you draw out the nail entirely. ",
"But if he\nsays \"No,\" you shift the nail to the next letter in the wall, and so on,\ntill the pain goes away, which it always does, sooner or later.(218) A\nBohemian who fears he is about to have an attack of fever will snatch up\nthe first thing that comes to hand and nail it to the wall. ",
"That keeps the\nfever from him.(219)\n\n(M44) As in Europe we nail toothache or fever to a wall, so in Morocco\nthey nail devils. ",
"A house in Mogador having been infested with devils, who\nthrew stones about it in a way that made life a burden to the inmates, a\nholy man was called in to exorcise them, which he did effectually by\npronouncing an incantation and driving a nail into the wall; at every\nstroke of the hammer a hissing sound announced that another devil had\nreceived his quietus.(220) Among the modern Arabs the soul of a murdered\nman must be nailed down. ",
"Thus if a man be murdered in Egypt, his ghost\nwill rise from the ground where his blood was shed: but it can be\nprevented from doing so by driving a new nail, which has never been used,\ninto the earth at the spot where the murder was committed. ",
"In Tripoli the\npractice is similar. ",
"Some years ago a native was murdered close to the\ndoor of a little Italian inn. ",
"Immediately the Arabs of the neighbourhood\nthronged thither and effectually laid the ghost with hammer and nail. ",
"When\nthe innkeeper rashly attempted to remove the nail, he was warned that to\ndo so would be to set the ghost free.(221) In modern Egypt numbers of\npeople afflicted with headache used to knock a nail into the great wooden\ndoor of the old south gate of Cairo, for the purpose of charming away the\npain; others who suffered from toothache used to extract a tooth and\ninsert it in a crevice of the door, or fix it in some other way, in order\nto be rid of toothache for the future. ",
"A holy and miraculous personage,\ninvisible to mortal eyes, was supposed to have one of his stations at this\ngate.(222) In Mosul also a sheikh can cure headache by first laying his\nhands on the sufferer's head and then hammering a nail into a wall.(223)\nNot far from Neuenkirchen, in Oldenburg, there is a farmhouse to which,\nwhile the Thirty Years' War was raging, the plague came lounging along\nfrom the neighbouring town in the shape of a bluish vapour. ",
"Entering the\nhouse it popped into a hole in the door-post of one of the rooms. ",
"The\nfarmer saw his chance, and quick as thought he seized a peg and hammered\nit into the hole, so that the plague could not possibly get out. ",
"After a\ntime, however, thinking the danger was past, he drew out the peg. ",
"Alas!",
"\nwith the peg came creeping and curling out of the hole the blue vapour\nonce more. ",
"The plague thus let loose seized on every member of the family\nin that unhappy house and left not one of them alive.(224) Again, the\ngreat plague which devastated the ancient world in the reign of Marcus\nAntoninus is said to have originated in the curiosity and greed of some\nRoman soldiers, who, pillaging the city of Seleucia, came upon a narrow\nhole in a temple and incautiously enlarged the opening in the expectation\nof discovering treasure. ",
"But that which came forth from the hole was not\ntreasure but the plague. ",
"It had been pent up in a secret chamber by the\nmagic art of the Chaldeans; but now, released from its prison by the rash\nact of the spoilers, it stalked abroad and spread death and destruction\nfrom the Euphrates to the Nile and the Atlantic.(225)\n\n(M45) The simple ceremony, in which to this day the superstition of\nEuropean peasants sees a sovereign remedy for plague and fever and\ntoothache, has come down to us from a remote antiquity; for in days when\nas yet Paris and London were not, when France still revered the Druids as\nthe masters of all knowledge, human and divine, and when our own country\nwas still covered with virgin forests, the home of savage beasts and\nsavage men, the same ceremony was solemnly performed from time to time by\nthe highest magistrate at Rome, to stay the ravages of pestilence or\nretrieve disaster that threatened the foundations of the national life. ",
"In\nthe fourth century before our era the city of Rome was desolated by a\ngreat plague which raged for three years, carrying off some of the highest\ndignitaries and a great multitude of common folk. ",
"The historian who\nrecords the calamity informs us that when a banquet had been offered to\nthe gods in vain, and neither human counsels nor divine help availed to\nmitigate the violence of the disease, it was resolved for the first time\nin Roman history to institute dramatical performances as an appropriate\nmeans of appeasing the wrath of the celestial powers. ",
"Accordingly actors\nwere fetched from Etruria, who danced certain simple and decorous dances\nto the music of a flute. ",
"But even this novel spectacle failed to amuse or\ntouch, to move to tears or laughter the sullen gods. ",
"The plague still\nraged, and at the very moment when the actors were playing their best in\nthe circus beside the Tiber, the yellow river rose in angry flood and\ndrove players and spectators, wading and splashing through the\nfast-deepening waters, away from the show. ",
"It was clear that the gods\nspurned plays as well as prayers and banquets; and in the general\nconsternation it was felt that some more effectual measure should be taken\nto put an end to the scourge. ",
"Old men remembered that a plague had once\nbeen stayed by the knocking of a nail into a wall; and accordingly the\nSenate resolved that now in their extremity, when all other means had\nfailed, a supreme magistrate should be appointed for the sole purpose of\nperforming this solemn ceremony. ",
"The appointment was made, the nail was\nknocked, and the plague ceased, sooner or later.(226) What better proof\ncould be given of the saving virtue of a nail?",
"\n\n(M46) Twice more within the same century the Roman people had recourse to\nthe same venerable ceremony as a cure for public calamities with which the\nordinary remedies, civil and religious, seemed unable to cope. ",
"One of\nthese occasions was a pestilence;(227) the other was a strange mortality\namong the leading men, which public opinion traced, rightly or wrongly, to\na series of nefarious crimes perpetrated by noble matrons, who took their\nhusbands off by poison. ",
"The crimes, real or imaginary, were set down to\nfrenzy, and nothing could be thought of so likely to minister to minds\ndiseased as the knocking of a nail into a wall. ",
"Search among the annals of\nthe city proved that in a season of civil discord, when the state had been\nrent by party feud, the same time-honoured remedy, the same soothing balm,\nhad been applied with the happiest results to the jarring interests and\nheated passions of the disputants. ",
"Accordingly the old nostrum was tried\nonce more, and again success appeared to justify the experiment.(228)\n\n(M47) If the Romans in the fourth century before Christ thus deemed it\npossible to rid themselves of pestilence, frenzy, and sedition by\nhammering them into a wall, even as French and German peasants still rid\nthemselves of fever and toothache by knocking them into a tree, their\nprudent ancestors appear to have determined that so salutary a measure\nshould not be restricted in its scope to meeting special and urgent\nemergencies as they arose, but should regularly diffuse its benefits over\nthe community by anticipating and, as it were, nipping in the bud evils\nwhich, left unchecked, might grow to dangerous proportions. ",
"This, we may\nconjecture, was the original intention of an ancient Roman law which\nordained that the highest magistrate of the republic should knock in a\nnail every year on the thirteenth day of September. ",
"The law might be seen,\ncouched in old-fashioned language, engraved on a tablet which was fastened\nto a wall of the temple of Capitoline Jupiter; and although the place\nwhere the nails were driven in is nowhere definitely stated by classical\nwriters, there are some grounds for thinking that it may have been the\nsame wall on which the law that sanctioned the custom was exhibited. ",
"Livy\ntells us that the duty of affixing the nail, at one time discharged by the\nconsuls, was afterwards committed to dictators, whose higher rank\nconsorted better with the dignity and importance of the function. ",
"At a\nlater time the custom fell into abeyance, and the ancient ceremony was\nrevived only from time to time in seasons of grave peril or extraordinary\ncalamity, which seemed to attest the displeasure of the gods at modern\nways, and disposed men to bethink them of ancestral lore and to walk in\nthe old paths.(229)\n\n(M48) In antiquity the annual practice of hammering a nail into a wall was\nnot confined to Rome. ",
"It was observed also at Vulsinii, in Etruria, where\nthe nails thus fixed in the temple of the goddess Nortia served as a\nconvenient means of recording and numbering the years.(230) To Roman\nantiquaries of a later period it seemed, naturally enough, that such a\npractice had indeed no other object than that of marking the flight of\ntime in ages when writing was but little used.(231) Yet a little\nreflection will probably convince us that this, though it was doubtless a\nuseful consequence of the custom, can hardly have been its original\nintention. ",
"For it will scarcely be disputed that the annual observance of\nthe custom cannot be wholly dissociated from its occasional observance in\nseasons of great danger or calamity, and that whatever explanation we give\nof the one ought to apply to the other also. ",
"Now it is plain that if we\nstart from the annual observance and regard it as no more than a\ntimekeeper or mode of recording the years, we shall never reach an\nadequate explanation of the occasional observance. ",
"If the nails were\nmerely ready reckoners of the years, how could they come to be used as\nsupreme remedies for pestilence, frenzy, and sedition, resorted to by the\nstate in desperate emergencies when all the ordinary resources of policy\nand religion had failed? ",
"On the other hand, if we start from the\noccasional observance and view it, in accordance with modern analogies, as\na rude attempt to dispose of intangible evils as if they were things that\ncould be handled and put away out of sight, we can readily understand how\nsuch an attempt, from being made occasionally, might come to be repeated\nannually for the sake of wiping out all the old troubles and misfortunes\nof the past year and enabling the community to start afresh, unencumbered\nby a fardel of ills, at the beginning of a new year. ",
"Fortunately we can\nshew that the analogy which is thus assumed to exist between the Roman\ncustom and modern superstition is not a merely fanciful one; in other\nwords, it can be proved that the Romans, like modern clowns, did believe\nin the possibility of nailing down trouble, in a literal and physical\nsense, into a material substance. ",
"Pliny tells us that an alleged cure for\nepilepsy, or the falling sickness, was to drive an iron nail into the\nground on the spot which was first struck by the patient's head as he\nfell.(232) In the light of the modern instances which have come before us,\nwe can hardly doubt that the cure was supposed to consist in actually\nnailing the disease into the earth in such a way that it could not get up\nand attack the sufferer again. ",
"Precisely parallel is a Suffolk cure for\nague. ",
"You must go by night alone to a cross-road, and just as the clock\nstrikes the midnight hour you must turn yourself about thrice and drive a\ntenpenny nail up to the head into the ground. ",
"Then walk away backwards\nfrom the spot before the clock is done striking twelve, and you will miss\nthe ague; but the next person who passes over the nail will catch the\nmalady in your stead.(233) Here it is plainly assumed that the ague of\nwhich the patient is relieved has been left by him nailed down into the\nearth at the cross-road, and we may fairly suppose that a similar\nassumption underlay the Roman cure for epilepsy. ",
"Further, we seem to be\nnow justified in holding that originally, when a Roman dictator sought to\nstay a plague, to restore concord, or to terminate an epidemic of madness\nby knocking a nail into a wall, he was doing for the commonwealth exactly\nwhat any private man might do for an epileptic patient by knocking a nail\ninto the ground on the spot where his poor friend had collapsed. ",
"In other\nwords, he was hammering the plague, the discord, or the madness into a\nhole from which it could not get out to afflict the community again.(234)\n\n(M49) Different in principle from the foregoing customs appears to be the\nLoango practice of sticking nails into wooden idols or fetishes. ",
"The\nintention of knocking a nail into a worshipful image is said to be simply\nto attract the notice of the deity in a forcible manner to the request of\nhis worshipper; it is like pinching a man or running a pin into his leg as\na hint that you desire to speak with him. ",
"Hence in order to be quite sure\nof riveting the god's attention the nails are sometimes made red-hot.(235)\nEven the most absent-minded deity could hardly overlook a petition urged\nin so importunate a fashion. ",
"The practice is resorted to in many\nemergencies. ",
"For example, when a man has been robbed, he will go and get a\npriest to knock a nail into an idol. ",
"The sharp pang naturally exasperates\nthe deity and he seeks to wreak his wrath on the thief, who is the real\noccasion of his suffering. ",
"So when the thief hears of what has been done,\nhe brings back the stolen goods in fear and trembling. ",
"Similarly a nail\nmay be knocked into an idol for the purpose of making somebody fall ill;\nand if a sick man fancies that his illness is due to an enemy who has\nplayed him this trick, he will send to the priest of the idol and pay him\nto remove the nail.(236) This mode of refreshing the memory and\nstimulating the activity of a supernatural being is not confined to the\n<DW64>s of Loango; it is practised also by French Catholics, as we learn\nfrom Sir John Rhys. \"",
"Some years ago,\" he writes, \"when I was on a visit at\nthe late Ernest Renan's house at Rosmapamon, near Perros-Guirec on the\nnorth coast of Brittany, our genial host took his friends one day to see\nsome of the sights of that neighbourhood. ",
"Among other things which he\nshowed us was a statue of St. Guirec standing at the head of an open\ncreek. ",
"It was of wood, and altogether a very rude work of art, if such it\nmight be called; but what attracted our attention most was the fact that\nit had innumerable pins stuck into it. ",
"We asked M. Renan what the pins\nmeant, and his explanation was exceedingly quaint. ",
"He said that when any\nyoung woman in the neighbourhood made up her mind that she should marry,\nshe came there and asked the saint to provide her with a husband, and to\ndo so without undue delay. ",
"She had every confidence in the willingness and\nability of the saint to oblige her, but she was haunted by the fear that\nhe might be otherwise engaged and forget her request. ",
"So she would stick\npins into him, and thus goad him, as she fancied, to exert himself on her\nbehalf. ",
"This is why the saint's statue was full of pins.",
"\"(237) Similarly\nin Japan sufferers from toothache sometimes stick needles into a\nwillow-tree, \"believing that the pain caused to the tree-spirit will force\nit to exercise its power to cure.",
"\"(238)\n\n(M50) Thus it would seem that we must distinguish at least two uses of\nnails or pins in their application to spirits and spiritual influences. ",
"In\none set of cases the nails act as corks or bungs to bottle up and imprison\na troublesome spirit; in the other set of cases they act as spurs or goads\nto refresh his memory and stimulate his activity. ",
"But so far as the\nevidence which I have cited allows us to judge, the use of nails as\nspiritual bungs appears to be commoner than their use as mental\nrefreshers.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER II. ",
"THE OMNIPRESENCE OF DEMONS.",
"\n\n\n(M51) In the foregoing chapter the primitive principle of the transference\nof ills to another person, animal, or thing was explained and illustrated.",
"\nA consideration of the means taken, in accordance with this principle, to\nrid individuals of their troubles and distresses led us to believe that at\nRome similar means had been adopted to free the whole community, at a\nsingle blow of the hammer, from diverse evils that afflicted it. ",
"I now\npropose to shew that such attempts to dismiss at once the accumulated\nsorrows of a people are by no means rare or exceptional, but that on the\ncontrary they have been made in many lands, and that from being occasional\nthey tend to become periodic and annual.",
"\n\n(M52) It needs some effort on our part to realise the frame of mind which\nprompts these attempts. ",
"Bred in a philosophy which strips nature of\npersonality and reduces it to the unknown cause of an orderly series of\nimpressions on our senses, we find it hard to put ourselves in the place\nof the savage, to whom the same impressions appear in the guise of spirits\nor the handiwork of spirits. ",
"For ages the army of spirits, once so near,\nhas been receding further and further from us, banished by the magic wand\nof science from hearth and home, from ruined cell and ivied tower, from\nhaunted glade and lonely mere, from the riven murky cloud that belches\nforth the lightning, and from those fairer clouds that pillow the silver\nmoon or fret with flakes of burning red the golden eve. ",
"The spirits are\ngone even from their last stronghold in the sky, whose blue arch no longer\npasses, except with children, for the screen that hides from mortal eyes\nthe glories of the celestial world. ",
"Only in poets' dreams or impassioned\nflights of oratory is it given to catch a glimpse of the last flutter of\nthe standards of the retreating host, to hear the beat of their invisible\nwings, the sound of their mocking laughter, or the swell of angel music\ndying away in the distance. ",
"Far otherwise is it with the savage. ",
"To his\nimagination the world still teems with those motley beings whom a more\nsober philosophy has discarded. ",
"Fairies and goblins, ghosts and demons,\nstill hover about him both waking and sleeping. ",
"They dog his footsteps,\ndazzle his senses, enter into him, harass and deceive and torment him in a\nthousand freakish and mischievous ways. ",
"The mishaps that befall him, the\nlosses he sustains, the pains he has to endure, he commonly sets down, if\nnot to the magic of his enemies, to the spite or anger or caprice of the\nspirits. ",
"Their constant presence wearies him, their sleepless malignity\nexasperates him; he longs with an unspeakable longing to be rid of them\naltogether, and from time to time, driven to bay, his patience utterly\nexhausted, he turns fiercely on his persecutors and makes a desperate\neffort to chase the whole pack of them from the land, to clear the air of\ntheir swarming multitudes, that he may breathe more freely and go on his\nway unmolested, at least for a time. ",
"Thus it comes about that the\nendeavour of primitive people to make a clean sweep of all their troubles\ngenerally takes the form of a grand hunting out and expulsion of devils or\nghosts. ",
"They think that if they can only shake off these their accursed\ntormentors, they will make a fresh start in life, happy and innocent; the\ntales of Eden and the old poetic golden age will come true again.",
"\n\n(M53) Hence, before we review some examples of these spirit-hunts, it may\nbe well to adduce evidence of the deep hold which a belief in the\nomnipresence and malignity of spirits has upon the primitive mind. ",
"The\nreader will be better able to understand the savage remedy when he has an\ninkling of the nature of the evil which it is designed to combat. ",
"In\nciting the evidence I shall for the most part reproduce the exact words of\nmy authorities lest I should incur the suspicion of deepening unduly the\nshadows in a gloomy picture.",
"\n\n(M54) Thus in regard to the aborigines of Australia we are told that \"the\nnumber of supernatural beings, feared if not loved, that they acknowledge\nis exceedingly great; for not only are the heavens peopled with such, but\nthe whole face of the country swarms with them; every thicket, most\nwatering-places, and all rocky places abound with evil spirits. ",
"In like\nmanner, every natural phenomenon is believed to be the work of demons,\nnone of which seem of a benign nature, one and all apparently striving to\ndo all imaginable mischief to the poor blackfellow.",
"\"(239) \"The <DW64>,\"\nsays another writer, \"is wont to regard the whole world around him as\npeopled with invisible beings, to whom he imputes every misfortune that\nhappens to him, and from whose harmful influence he seeks to protect\nhimself by all kinds of magic means.",
"\"(240) The Bantu <DW64>s of Western\nAfrica \"regard their god as the creator of man, plants, animals, and the\nearth, and they hold that having made them, he takes no further interest\nin the affair. ",
"But not so the crowd of spirits with which the universe is\npeopled, they take only too much interest, and the Bantu wishes they would\nnot and is perpetually saying so in his prayers, a large percentage\nwhereof amounts to, 'Go away, we don't want you.' '",
"Come not into this\nhouse, this village, or its plantations.' \" ",
"Almost all these subordinate\nspirits are malevolent.(241) A similar but fuller account of the West\nAfrican creed is given by a German writer, whose statements apply\nparticularly to the Ewe-speaking <DW64>s of the Slave Coast. ",
"He says:\n\"Thus the term fetishism denotes the attitude of the Ewes, or of West\nAfrican <DW64> tribes in general, towards magic; it forms one of the\nprincipal constituents of their religion. ",
"The other main constituent is\ntheir attitude to the gods, which is properly demonolatry. ",
"The Ewe names\nthe gods _drowo_, that is, intermediaries, namely, between a Supreme\nBeing, whom he calls _Mawu_ ('the Unsurpassable'), and mankind. ",
"The drowo\nwith whom the Ewe has to do, to whom his offerings and his respects are\npaid, are thus subordinate deities, who according to the etymological\nmeaning of the word _dro_ are conceived as judging, composing disputes,\nand mediating among men. ",
"The existence of a Supreme Being is by no means\nunfamiliar to the Ewe; he has his _Mawu_ often in his mouth, especially in\ntalking with the missionary, and he willingly acknowledges that _Mawu_\ncreated him and the gods. ",
"But he can only conceive of this Supreme Being\non the analogy of his own personality and not as omnipresent and so forth.",
"\nIt is impossible that this Mawu can trouble himself about details in the\ncreation or even about every individual man and his petty affairs; what\nwould be the use of the many higher and lower spirits with which the world\nis filled before his eyes? ",
"The West African perhaps conceives of God as\ntranscendant, but not as immanent; a creation he possibly apprehends, but\nnot an omnipresent government of the world by the Supreme Being. ",
"That\ngovernment is carried on by Mawu at a distance by means of the many\nspirits or subordinate gods whom he has created for the purpose.... A\nportion of the gods fills the air, wherefore the forces and the phenomena\nof nature are deified as their manifestations. ",
"The elements are thought to\nbe moved by the gods of the air. ",
"In the storm and the wind, in thunder and\nlightning the Ewe sees the manifestation of particularly powerful gods. ",
"In\nthe mysterious roll and roar of the deep sea the Ewe, like the <DW64> in\ngeneral, beholds the sway of a very mighty god or of a whole host of gods.",
"\nFurther, the earth itself is also the abode of a multitude of spirits or\ngods, who have in it their sphere of activity. ",
"They inhabit certain great\nmountains, great hollow trees, caves, rivers, and especially woods. ",
"In\nsuch woods of the gods no timber may be felled. ",
"Thus the gods fill not\nonly the air and the sea, they also walk on earth, on all paths; they lurk\nunder the trees, they terrify the lonely wayfarer, they disquiet and\nplague even the sleeper. ",
"When the <DW64> rises from the stool on which he\nhas been sitting, he never fails to turn it upside down, to prevent a\nspirit from sitting down on it.... The spirit-world falls into two main\nclasses: there are good and kindly spirits, whose help is eagerly sought\nby offerings; but there are also gloomy and revengeful spirits, whose\napproach and influence people eagerly endeavour to avert, and against whom\nall possible means are employed to ban them from the houses and villages.",
"\nThe people are much more zealous in their devotion to the evil spirits\nthan in their devotion to the good. ",
"The reason is that the feeling of fear\nand the consciousness of guilt are much stronger than the emotions of love\nand gratitude for benefits received. ",
"Hence the worship of the false gods\nor spirits among this people, and among the West African <DW64> tribes in\ngeneral, is properly speaking a worship of demons or devils.",
"\"(242)\n\n(M55) Again, a missionary who spent fifteen years among the Boloki of the\nUpper Congo River tells us that \"the religion of the Boloki has its basis\nin their fear of those numerous invisible spirits which surround them on\nevery side, and are constantly trying to compass their sickness,\nmisfortune and death; and the Boloki's sole object in practising their\nreligion is to cajole, or appease, cheat, or conquer and kill those\nspirits that trouble them--hence their _nganga_ [medicine-men], their\nrites, their ceremonies and their charms. ",
"If there were no evil spirits to\nbe circumvented there would be no need of their medicine men and their\ncharms.",
"\"(243) \"The Boloki folk believe they are surrounded by spirits\nwhich try to thwart them at every twist and turn, and to harm them every\nhour of the day and night. ",
"The rivers and creeks are crowded with the\nspirits of their ancestors, and the forests and bush are full also of\nspirits, ever seeking to injure the living who are overtaken by night when\ntravelling by road or canoe. ",
"I never met among them a man daring enough to\ngo at night through the forest that divided Monsembe from the upper\nvillages, even though a large reward was offered. ",
"Their invariable reply\nwas: 'There are too many spirits in the bush and forest.' \"(",
"244) The\nspirits which these people dread so much are the _mingoli_ or disembodied\nsouls of the dead; the life of the Boloki is described as \"one long drawn\nout fear of what the _mingoli_ may next do to them.\" ",
"These dangerous\nbeings dwell everywhere, land and water are full of them; they are ever\nready to pounce on the living and carry them away or to smite them with\ndisease and kill them. ",
"Though they are invisible to common eyes, the\nmedicine-man can see them, and can cork them up in calabashes or cover\nthem up with saucepans; indeed, if it is made worth his while, he can even\ndestroy them altogether.(245) Again, of the Bantu tribes of South Africa\nwe read that \"nearer than the spirits of deceased chiefs or of their own\nancestors was a whole host of hobgoblins, water sprites, and malevolent\ndemons, who met the Bantu turn which way they would. ",
"There was no\nbeautiful fairyland for them, for all the beings who haunted the\nmountains, the plains, and the rivers were ministers of evil. ",
"The most\nfeared of these was a large bird that made love to women and incited those\nwho returned its affection to cause the death of those who did not, and a\nlittle mischievous imp who was also amorously inclined. ",
"Many instances\ncould be gathered from the records of magistrates' courts in recent years\nof demented women having admitted their acquaintance with these fabulous\ncreatures, as well as of whole communities living in terror of them.",
"\"(246)\nHowever, it would be no doubt a great mistake to imagine that the minds of\nthe Bantu, or indeed of any savages, are perpetually occupied by a dread\nof evil spirits;(247) the savage and indeed the civilized man is\nincapable, at least in his normal state, of such excessive preoccupation\nwith a single idea, which, if prolonged, could hardly fail to end in\ninsanity.",
"\n\n(M56) Speaking of the spirits which the Indians of Guiana attribute to all\nobjects in nature, Sir Everard F. im Thurn observes that \"the whole world\nof the Indian swarms with these beings. ",
"If by a mighty mental effort we\ncould for a moment revert to a similar mental position, we should find\nourselves everywhere surrounded by a host of possibly hurtful beings, so\nmany in number that to describe them as innumerable would fall\nridiculously short of the truth. ",
"It is not therefore wonderful that the\nIndian fears to move beyond the light of his camp-fire after dark, or, if\nhe is obliged to do so, carries a fire-brand with him that he may at least\nsee among what enemies he walks; nor is it wonderful that occasionally the\nair round the settlement seems to the Indian to grow so full of beings,\nthat a peaiman [sorcerer], who is supposed to have the power of\ntemporarily driving them away, is employed to effect a general clearance\nof these beings, if only for a time. ",
"That is the main belief, of the kind\nthat is generally called religious, of the Indians of Guiana.",
"\"(248) The\nLengua Indians of the Paraguayan Chaco believe in certain demons which\nthey call _kilyikhama_. \"",
"The _kilyikhama_ are confined to no particular\nplace. ",
"Time and distance do not seem to affect them in the least. ",
"They are\nheld in great awe by the Indian, and whithersoever he turns, whether by\nday or night, but particularly at night, he is subject to their malign\ninfluences.... They live in constant dread of these supernatural beings,\nand if nothing else contributed to make their life miserable, this\never-present dread of the _kilyikhama_ would be in itself quite sufficient\nto rob it of most of its joy.",
"\"(249)\n\n(M57) Very different from the life of these Indians of the South American\nforests and prairies is the life of the Esquimaux on the desolate shores\nof Labrador; yet they too live in like bondage to the evil creatures of\ntheir own imagination. \"",
"All the affairs of life are supposed to be under\nthe control of spirits, each of which rules over a certain element, and\nall of which are under the direction of a greater spirit. ",
"Each person is\nsupposed to be attended by a special guardian who is malignant in\ncharacter, ever ready to seize upon the least occasion to work harm upon\nthe individual whom it accompanies. ",
"As this is an evil spirit, its good\noffices and assistance can be obtained by propitiation only. ",
"The person\nstrives to keep the good-will of the evil spirit by offerings of food,\nwater, and clothing.\" \"",
"Besides this class of spirits, there are the\nspirits of the sea, the land, the sky (for be it understood that the\nEskimo know nothing of the air), the winds, the clouds, and everything in\nnature. ",
"Every cove of the sea-shore, every point, island, and prominent\nrock has its guardian spirit. ",
"All are of the malignant type, and to be\npropitiated only by acceptable offerings from persons who desire to visit\nthe locality where it is supposed to reside. ",
"Of course some of the spirits\nare more powerful than others, and these are more to be dreaded than those\nable to inflict less harm. ",
"These minor spirits are under the control of\nthe great spirit, whose name is Tung ak. ",
"This one great spirit is more\npowerful than all the rest besides. ",
"The lesser spirits are immediately\nunder his control and ever ready to obey his command. ",
"The shaman (or\nconjuror) alone is supposed to be able to deal with the Tung ak. ",

"A soul is attributed even to the object fashioned\nby human hands, whose functions are felt to be friendly or hostile. ",
"The\nwarrior pays his devotion to the divine war-chariot, the divine arrow, the\ndrum; the ploughman to the ploughshare; the gambler to the dice; the\nsacrificer, about whom naturally we have the most exact information,\nreveres the stone that presses out the juice of the Soma, the straw on\nwhich the gods recline, the post to which the sacrificial victim is bound,\nand the divine doors through which the gods come forth to enjoy the\nsacrifice.

"At one time the beings in whose presence man feels himself are\nregarded by him as really endowed with souls; at another time, in harmony\nwith a more advanced conception of the world, they are imagined as\nsubstances or fluids invested with beneficent or maleficent properties:\nbelief oscillates to and fro between the one mode of thought and the\nother. ",
"The art of turning to account the operations of these animated\nbeings, the play of these substances and forces, is magic rather than\nworship in the proper sense of the word. ",
"The foundations of this faith and\nof this magic are an inheritance from the remotest past, from a period, to\nput it shortly, of shamanistic faith in spirits and souls, of shamanistic\nmagic. ",
"Such a period has been passed through by the forefathers of the\nIndo-Germanic race as well as by other peoples.",
"\"(277)\n\n(M69) Coming down to the Hindoos of the present day, we find that their\nattitude towards the spiritual world is described as follows by Professor\nMonier Williams. \"",
"The plain fact undoubtedly is that the great majority of\nthe inhabitants of India are, from the cradle to the burning-ground,\nvictims of a form of mental disease which is best expressed by the term\ndemonophobia. ",
"They are haunted and oppressed by a perpetual dread of\ndemons. ",
"They are firmly convinced that evil spirits of all kinds, from\nmalignant fiends to merely mischievous imps and elves, are ever on the\nwatch to harm, harass, and torment them, to cause plague, sickness,\nfamine, and disaster, to impede, injure, and mar every good work.",
"\"(278)\nElsewhere the same writer has expressed the same view somewhat more fully.",
"\n\"In fact,\" he says, \"a belief in every kind of demoniacal influence has\nalways been from the earliest times an essential ingredient in Hindu\nreligious thought. ",
"The idea probably had its origin in the supposed\npeopling of the air by spiritual beings--the personifications or companions\nof storm and tempest. ",
"Certainly no one who has ever been brought into\nclose contact with the Hindus in their own country can doubt the fact that\nthe worship of at least ninety per cent. ",
"of the people of India in the\npresent day is a worship of fear. ",
"Not that the existence of good deities\npresided over by one Supreme Being is doubted; but that these deities are\nbelieved to be too absolutely good to need propitiation; just as in\nancient histories of the Slav races, we are told that they believed in a\nwhite god and a black god, but paid adoration to the last alone, having,\nas they supposed, nothing to apprehend from the beneficence of the first\nor white deity. ",
"The simple truth is that evil of all kinds, difficulties,\ndangers and disasters, famines, diseases, pestilences and death, are\nthought by an ordinary Hindu to proceed from demons, or, more properly\nspeaking, from devils, and from devils alone. ",
"These malignant beings are\nheld, as we have seen, to possess varying degrees of rank, power, and\nmalevolence. ",
"Some aim at destroying the entire world, and threaten the\nsovereignty of the gods themselves. ",
"Some delight in killing men, women,\nand children, out of a mere thirst for human blood. ",
"Some take a mere\nmischievous pleasure in tormenting, or revel in the infliction of\nsickness, injury, and misfortune. ",
"All make it their business to mar or\nimpede the progress of good works and useful undertakings.",
"\"(279)\n\n(M70) It would be easy but tedious to illustrate in detail this general\naccount of the dread of demons which prevails among the inhabitants of\nIndia at the present day. ",
"A very few particular statements must suffice.",
"\nThus, we are told that the Oraons, a Dravidian race in Bengal,\n\"acknowledge a Supreme God, adored as Dharmi or Dharmesh, the Holy One,\nwho is manifest in the sun, and they regard Dharmesh as a perfectly pure,\nbeneficent being, who created us and would in his goodness and mercy\npreserve us, but that his benevolent designs are thwarted by malignant\nspirits whom mortals must propitiate, as Dharmesh cannot or does not\ninterfere, if the spirit of evil once fastens upon us. ",
"It is, therefore,\nof no use to pray to Dharmesh or to offer sacrifices to him; so though\nacknowledged, recognised, and reverenced, he is neglected, whilst the\nmalignant spirits are adored.\" ",
"Again, it is said of these Oraons that, \"as\nthe sole object of their religious ceremonies is the propitiation of the\ndemons who are ever thwarting the benevolent intentions of Dharmesh, they\nhave no notion of a service of thanksgiving.\" ",
"Once more, after giving a\nlist of Oraon demons, the same writer goes on: \"Besides this superstitious\ndread of the spirits above named, the Oraon's imagination tremblingly\nwanders in a world of ghosts. ",
"Every rock, road, river, and grove is\nhaunted.",
"\"(280) Again, a missionary who spent many years among the Kacharis\nof Assam tells us that \"the religion of the Kachari race is distinctly of\nthe type commonly known as 'animistic' and its underlying principle is\ncharacteristically one of fear or dread. ",
"The statement _Timor fecit deos_\ncertainly holds good of this people in its widest and strictest sense; and\ntheir religion thus stands in very marked, not to say violent, contrast\nwith the teaching of the Faith in Christ. ",
"In the typical Kachari village\nas a rule neither idol nor place of worship is to be found; but to the\nKachari mind and imagination earth, air, and sky are alike peopled with a\nvast number of invisible spiritual beings, known usually as _Modai_, all\npossessing powers and faculties far greater than those of man, and almost\ninvariably inclined to use these powers for malignant and malevolent,\nrather than benevolent, purposes. ",
"In a certain stage of moral and\nspiritual development men are undoubtedly influenced far more by what they\nfear than by what they love; and this truth certainly applies to the\nKachari race in the most unqualified way.",
"\"(281) Again, the Siyins, who\ninhabit the Chin Hills of north-eastern India, on the borders of Burma,\n\"say that there is no Supreme God and no other world save this, which is\nfull of evil spirits who inhabit the fields, infest the houses, and haunt\nthe jungles. ",
"These spirits must be propitiated or bribed to refrain from\ndoing the particular harm of which each is capable, for one can destroy\ncrops, another can make women barren, and a third cause a lizard to enter\nthe stomach and devour the bowels.",

"\"(284) The Lushais of Assam believe in a beneficent spirit named\nPathian, who made everything but troubles himself very little about men.",
"\nFar more important in ordinary life are the numerous demons (_huai_), who\ninhabit every stream, mountain, and forest, and are all malignant. ",
"To\ntheir agency are ascribed all the illnesses and misfortunes that afflict\nhumanity, and a Lushai's whole life is spent in propitiating them. ",
"It is\nthe sorcerer (_puithiam_) who knows what demon is causing any particular\ntrouble, and it is he who can prescribe the sort of sacrifice which will\nappease the wrath of the fiend. ",
"Every form of sickness is set down to the\ninfluence of some demon or other, and all the tales about these spiritual\nfoes begin or end with the recurrent phrase, \"There was much sickness in\nour village.",

"\"(286)\n\n(M71) With regard to the inhabitants of Ceylon we are told that \"the\nfiends which they conceive to be hovering around them are without number.",
"\nEvery disease or trouble that assails them is produced by the immediate\nagency of the demons sent to punish them: while, on the other hand, every\nblessing or success comes directly from the hands of the beneficent and\nsupreme God. ",
"To screen themselves from the power of the inferior deities,\nwho are all represented as wicked spirits, and whose power is by no means\nirresistible, they wear amulets of various descriptions; and employ a\nvariety of charms and spells to ward off the influence of witchcraft and\nenchantments by which they think themselves beset on all sides.\" \"",
"It is\nprobable that, by degrees, intercourse with Europeans will entirely do\naway these superstitious fears, as the Cinglese of the towns have already\nmade considerable progress in subduing their gloomy apprehensions. ",

"Several Cinglese lunatics have fallen under my\nown observation; and upon inquiring into the circumstances which had\ndeprived them of their reason, I universally found that their wretched\nstate was to be traced solely to the excess of their superstitious fears.",
"\nThe spirits of the wicked subordinate demons are the chief objects of fear\namong the Ceylonese; and impress their minds with much more awe than the\nmore powerful divinities who dispense blessings among them. ",
"They indeed\nthink that their country is in a particular manner delivered over to the\ndominion of evil spirits.",
"\"(287)\n\n(M72) In Eastern as well as Southern Asia the same view of nature as\npervaded by a multitude of spirits, mostly mischievous and malignant, has\nsurvived the nominal establishment of a higher faith. \"",

"With the Taleins this is more especially the case. ",
"Indeed,\nwith the country population of Pegu the worship, or it should rather be\nsaid the propitiation, of the 'nats' or spirits, enters into every act of\ntheir ordinary life, and Buddha's doctrine seems kept for sacred days and\ntheir visits to the kyoung (monastery) or to the pagoda.",

"The bamboo pipes of spirit, the bones of\nsacrificial animals, the hatchets, swords, spears, bows and arrows that\nline the way to a Kachin village, are placed there not with the idea of\nattracting the spirits, but of preventing them from coming right among the\nhouses in search of their requirements.

"If they want to drink, the rice\nspirit has been poured out, and the bamboo stoup is there in evidence of\nthe libation; the blood-stained skulls of oxen, pigs, and the feathers of\nfowls show that there has been no stint of meat offerings; should the nats\nwax quarrelsome, and wish to fight, there are the axes and dahs with which\nto commence the fray.

"If he cannot explain a\ncertain natural phenomenon, his perplexity does not last long. ",
"It is the\nwork of a _phi_, he says, and his priests take care not to dissuade him.",

"\nAll the petty annoyances of life--a sudden fall, an unlucky word, a\nheadache, a paltry quarrel--were set down to the agency of fiends; and all\nthe fierce emotions that rend the mind--love, hate, jealousy, and\nmadness--were equally the work of these invisible tormentors. ",
"Men and women\nstood in constant danger of them. ",
"They tore the wife from the bosom of her\nhusband, the son from the knees of his father. ",

"They pursued the cattle to their stalls: they lodged\nwith the horses in the stable: they caused the she-ass to miscarry, and\nthe young ass at its mother's dugs to pine away. ",
"Even lifeless things\ncould be possessed by them; for there were demons that rushed against\nhouses and took walls by storm, that shut themselves up in doors, and hid\nthemselves under bolts. ",
"Indeed they threatened the whole world with\ndestruction, and there was none that could deliver from them save only the\nmighty god Marduk.(303)\n\n(M79) In the opinion of the ancient Egyptians \"there were good spirits as\nwell as bad, but the _Book of the Dead_ practically ignores the former,\nand its magical formulae were directed entirely against the operations of\nevil spirits.

"Though naturally of a gay and light-hearted disposition, the\nEgyptian must have lived in a perpetual state of fear of spirits of all\nkinds, spirits of calamity, disease, and sickness, spirits of angry gods\nand ancestors, and above all the spirit of Death. ",

"\"(304) In modern Egypt the jinn, a\nclass of spiritual beings intermediate between angels and men, are\nbelieved to pervade the solid matter of the earth as well as the\nfirmament, and they inhabit rivers, ruined houses, wells, baths, ovens,\nand so forth. ",
"So thickly do they swarm that in pouring water or other\nliquids on the ground an Egyptian will commonly exclaim or mutter\n\"_Destoor!_\" ",
"thereby asking the permission or craving the pardon of any\njinn who might chance to be there, and who might otherwise resent being\nsuddenly soused with water or unsavoury fluids. ",
"So too when people light a\nfire, let down a bucket into a well, or perform other necessary functions,\nthey will say \"Permission!\" ",
"or \"Permission, ye blessed!\"(305) Again, in\nEgypt it is not considered proper to sweep out a house at night, lest in\ndoing so you should knock against a jinnee, who might avenge the\ninsult.(306)\n\n(M80) The earliest of the Greek philosophers, Thales, held that the world\nis full of gods or spirits;(307) and the same primitive creed was\nexpounded by one of the latest pagan thinkers of antiquity. ",
"Porphyry\ndeclared that demons appeared in the likeness of animals, that every house\nand every body was full of them, and that forms of ceremonial\npurification, such as beating the air and so forth, had no other object\nbut that of driving away the importunate swarms of these invisible but\ndangerous beings. ",
"He explained that evil spirits delighted in food,\nespecially in blood and impurities, that they settled like flies on us at\nmeals, and that they could only be kept at a distance by ceremonial\nobservances, which were directed, not to pleasing the gods, but simply and\nsolely to beating off devils.(308) His theory of religious purification\nseems faithfully to reflect the creed of the savage on this subject,(309)\nbut a philosopher is perhaps the last person whom we should expect to find\nacting as a mirror of savagery. ",
"It is less surprising to meet with the\nsame venerable doctrine, the same world-wide superstition in the mouth of\na mediaeval abbot; for we know that a belief in devils has the authority\nof the founder of Christianity and is sanctioned by the teaching of the\nchurch. ",
"No Esquimau on the frozen shores of Labrador, no Indian in the\nsweltering forests of Guiana, no cowering Hindoo in the jungles of Bengal,\ncould well have a more constant and abiding sense of the presence of\nmalignant demons everywhere about him than had Abbot Richalm, who ruled\nover the Cistercian monastery of Schoenthal in the first half of the\nthirteenth century. ",
"In the curious work to which he gave the name of\n_Revelations_, he set forth how he was daily and hourly infested by\ndevils, whom, though he could not see, he heard, and to whom he imputed\nall the ailments of his flesh and all the frailties of his spirit. ",
"If he\nfelt squeamish, he was sure that the feeling was wrought in him by\ndemoniacal agency. ",
"If puckers appeared on his nose, if his lower lip\ndrooped, the devils had again to answer for it; a cough, a cold in the\nhead, a hawking and spitting, could have none but a supernatural and\ndevilish origin. ",
"If, pacing in his orchard on a sunny autumn morning, the\nportly abbot stooped to pick up the mellow fruit that had fallen in the\nnight, the blood that mounted to his purple face was sent coursing thither\nby his invisible foes. ",
"If the abbot tossed on his sleepless couch, while\nthe moonlight, streaming in at the window, cast the shadows of the\nstanchions like black bars on the floor of his cell, it was not the fleas\nand so forth that kept him awake--oh no! \"",
"Vermin,\" said he sagely, \"do not\nreally bite\"; they seem to bite indeed, but it is all the work of devils.",
"\nIf a monk snored in the dormitory, the unseemly noise proceeded not from\nhim, but from a demon lurking in his person. ",
"Especially dangerous were the\ndemons of intoxication. ",
"These subtle fiends commonly lodged at the taverns\nin the neighbouring town, but on feast days they were apt to slip through\nthe monastery gates and glide unseen among the monks seated at the\nrefectory table, or gathered round the roaring fire on the hearth, while\nthe bleak wind whistled in the abbey towers, and a more generous vintage\nthan usual glowed and sparkled in the flagons. ",
"If at such times a jolly,\nrosy-faced brother appeared to the carnal eye and ear to grow obstreperous\nor maudlin, to speak thick or to reel and stagger in his gait, be sure it\nwas not the fiery spirit of the grape that moved the holy man; it was a\nspirit of quite a different order. ",
"Holding such views on the source of all\nbodily and mental indisposition, it was natural enough that the abbot\nshould prescribe remedies which are not to be found in the pharmacopoeia,\nand which would be asked for in vain at an apothecary's. ",
"They consisted\nchiefly of holy water and the sign of the cross; this last he recommended\nparticularly as a specific for flea-bites.(310)\n\n(M81) It is easy to suggest that the abbot's wits were unsettled, that he\nsuffered from hallucinations, and so forth. ",
"This may have been so; yet a\nmode of thought like his seems to be too common over a great part of the\nworld to allow us to attribute it purely to mental derangement. ",
"In the\nMiddle Ages, when the general level of knowledge was low, a state of mind\nlike Richalm's may have been shared by multitudes even of educated people,\nwho have not, however, like him, left a monument of their folly to\nposterity. ",
"At the present day, through the advance and spread of\nknowledge, it might be difficult to find any person of acknowledged sanity\nholding the abbot's opinions on the subject of demons; but in remote parts\nof Europe a little research might shew that the creed of Porphyry and\nRichalm is still held, with but little variation, by the mass of the\npeople. ",
"Thus we are told that the Roumanians of Transylvania \"believe\nthemselves to be surrounded on all sides by whole legions of evil spirits.",
"\nThese devils are furthermore assisted by _ismejus_ (another sort of\ndragon), witches, and goblins, and to each of these dangerous beings are\nascribed particular powers on particular days and at certain places. ",
"Many\nand curious are therefore the means by which the Roumanians endeavour to\ncounteract these baleful influences; and a whole complicated study, about\nas laborious as the mastering of an unknown language, is required in order\nto teach an unfortunate peasant to steer clear of the dangers by which he\nsupposes himself to be beset on all sides.",
"\"(311)\n\n(M82) Similar beliefs are held to this day by the Armenians, who, though\nthey are not a European people, have basked in the light of Christianity\nfrom a time when Central and Northern Europe was still plunged in heathen\ndarkness. ",
"All the activities, we are told, of these professing Christians\n\"are paralyzed after sunset, because at every step they quake with fear,\nbelieving that the evil demons are everywhere present in the air, in the\nwater, on the earth. ",
"By day the evil ones are under the earth, therefore\nboiling hot water may not be poured on the ground, because it sinks into\nthe earth and burns the feet of the children of the evil spirits. ",
"But in\nthe evening the superstitious Armenian will pour no water at all on the\nearth, because the evil ones are everywhere present on the earth. ",
"Some of\nthem are walking about, others are sitting at table and feasting, so that\nthey might be disturbed by the pouring out of water, and they would take\nvengeance for it. ",
"Also by night you should not smite the ground with a\nstick, nor sweep out the house, nor remove the dung from the stable,\nbecause without knowing it you might hit the evil spirits. ",
"But if you are\ncompelled to sweep by night, you singe the tip of the broom so as to\nfrighten the evil ones away in time. ",
"You must not go out at night\nbareheaded, for the evil ones would smite you on the head. ",
"It is also\ndangerous to drink water out of a vessel in the dark, especially when the\nwater is drawn from a brook or river; for the evil ones in the water hit\nout, or they pass with the water into a man. ",
"Therefore in drinking you\nshould hold a knife with three blades or a piece of iron in the water. ",
"The\nbaleful influence of the nocturnal demons extends also to useful objects;\nhence after sunset people do not lend salt or fire and do not shake out\nthe tablecloth, because thereby the salt would lose its savour and the\nwelfare of the house would depart.",

"THE PUBLIC EXPULSION OF EVILS.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 1. ",
"The Occasional Expulsion of Evils.",
"\n\n\n(M83) We can now understand why those general clearances of evil, to which\nfrom time to time the savage resorts, should commonly take the form of a\nforcible expulsion of devils. ",
"In these evil spirits primitive man sees the\ncause of many if not of most of his troubles, and he fancies that if he\ncan only deliver himself from them, things will go better with him. ",
"The\npublic attempts to expel the accumulated ills of a whole community may be\ndivided into two classes, according as the expelled evils are immaterial\nand invisible or are embodied in a material vehicle or scapegoat. ",
"The\nformer may be called the direct or immediate expulsion of evils; the\nlatter the indirect or mediate expulsion, or the expulsion by scapegoat.",
"\nWe begin with examples of the former.",
"\n\n(M84) In the island of Rook, between New Guinea and New Britain, when any\nmisfortune has happened, all the people run together, scream, curse, howl,\nand beat the air with sticks to drive away the devil (_Marsaba_), who is\nsupposed to be the author of the mishap. ",
"From the spot where the mishap\ntook place they drive him step by step to the sea, and on reaching the\nshore they redouble their shouts and blows in order to expel him from the\nisland. ",
"He generally retires to the sea or to the island of Lottin.(313)\nThe natives of New Britain ascribe sickness, drought, the failure of\ncrops, and in short all misfortunes, to the influence of wicked spirits.",
"\nSo at times when many people sicken and die, as at the beginning of the\nrainy season, all the inhabitants of a district, armed with branches and\nclubs, go out by moonlight to the fields, where they beat and stamp on the\nground with wild howls till morning, believing that this drives away the\ndevils; and for the same purpose they rush through the village with\nburning torches.(314) The natives of New Caledonia are said to believe\nthat all evils are caused by a powerful and malignant spirit; hence in\norder to rid themselves of him they will from time to time dig a great\npit, round which the whole tribe gathers. ",
"After cursing the demon, they\nfill up the pit with earth, and trample on the top with loud shouts. ",
"This\nthey call burying the evil spirit.(315) Among the Dieri tribe of Central\nAustralia, when a serious illness occurs, the medicine-men expel Cootchie\nor the devil by beating the ground in and outside of the camp with the\nstuffed tail of a kangaroo, until they have chased the demon away to some\ndistance from the camp.(316) In some South African tribes it is a general\nrule that no common man may meddle with spirits, whether good or bad,\nexcept to offer the customary sacrifices. ",
"Demons may haunt him and make\nhis life a burden to him, but he must submit to their machinations until\nthe matter is taken up by the proper authorities. ",
"A baboon may be sent by\nevil spirits and perch on a tree within gunshot, or regale itself in his\nmaize-field; but to fire at the beast would be worse than suicide. ",
"So long\nas a man remains a solitary sufferer, he has little chance of redress. ",
"It\nis supposed that he has committed some crime, and that the ancestors in\ntheir wrath have sent a demon to torment him. ",
"But should his neighbours\nalso suffer; should the baboon from choice or necessity (for men do\nsometimes pluck up courage to scare the brutes) select a fresh field for\nits depredations, or the roof of another man's barn for its perch, the\ncase begins to wear a different complexion. ",
"The magicians now deal with\nthe matter seriously. ",
"One man may be haunted for his sins by a demon, but\na whole community infested by devils is another matter. ",
"To shoot the\nbaboon, however, would be useless; it would merely enrage the demon and\nincrease the danger. ",
"The first thing to do is to ascertain the permanent\nabode of the devil. ",
"It is generally a deep pool with overhanging banks and\ndark recesses. ",
"There the villagers assemble with the priests and magicians\nat their head, and set about pelting the demon with stones, men, women,\nand children all joining in the assault, while they load the object of\ntheir fear and hate with the foulest abuse. ",
"Drums too are beaten, and\nhorns blown at intervals, and when everybody has been worked up to such a\nfrenzy of excitement that some even fancy they see the imp dodging the\nmissiles, he suddenly takes to flight, and the village is rid of him for a\ntime. ",
"After that, the crops may be protected and baboons killed with\nimpunity.(317)\n\n(M85) When a village has been visited by a series of disasters or a severe\nepidemic, the inhabitants of Minahassa in Celebes lay the blame upon the\ndevils who are infesting the village and who must be expelled from it.",
"\nAccordingly, early one morning all the people, men, women, and children,\nquit their homes, carrying their household goods with them, and take up\ntheir quarters in temporary huts which have been erected outside the\nvillage. ",
"Here they spend several days, offering sacrifices and preparing\nfor the final ceremony. ",
"At last the men, some wearing masks, others with\ntheir faces blackened, and so on, but all armed with swords, guns, pikes,\nor brooms, steal cautiously and silently back to the deserted village.",
"\nThen, at a signal from the priest, they rush furiously up and down the\nstreets and into and under the houses (which are raised on piles above the\nground), yelling and striking on walls, doors, and windows, to drive away\nthe devils. ",
"Next, the priests and the rest of the people come with the\nholy fire and march nine times round each house and thrice round the\nladder that leads up to it, carrying the fire with them. ",
"Then they take\nthe fire into the kitchen, where it must burn for three days continuously.",
"\nThe devils are now driven away, and great and general is the joy.(318) The\nAlfoors of Halmahera attribute epidemics to the devil who comes from other\nvillages to carry them off. ",
"So, in order to rid the village of the\ndisease, the sorcerer drives away the devil. ",
"From all the villagers he\nreceives a costly garment and places it on four vessels, which he takes to\nthe forest and leaves at the spot where the devil is supposed to be. ",
"Then\nwith mocking words he bids the demon abandon the place.(319) In the Kei\nIslands to the south-west of New Guinea, the evil spirits, who are quite\ndistinct from the souls of the dead, form a mighty host. ",
"Almost every tree\nand every cave is the lodging-place of one of these fiends, who are\nmoreover extremely irascible and apt to fly out on the smallest\nprovocation. ",
"To speak loudly in passing their abode, to ease nature near a\nhaunted tree or cave, is enough to bring down their wrath on the offender,\nand he must either appease them by an offering or burn the scrapings of a\nbuffalo's horn or the hair of a Papuan slave, in order that the smell may\ndrive the foul fiends away. ",
"The spirits manifest their displeasure by\nsending sickness and other calamities. ",
"Hence in times of public\nmisfortune, as when an epidemic is raging, and all other remedies have\nfailed, the whole population go forth with the priest at their head to a\nplace at some distance from the village. ",
"Here at sunset they erect a\ncouple of poles with a cross-bar between them, to which they attach bags\nof rice, wooden models of pivot-guns, gongs, bracelets, and so on. ",
"Then,\nwhen everybody has taken his place at the poles and a death-like silence\nreigns, the priest lifts up his voice and addresses the spirits in their\nown language as follows: \"Ho! ",
"ho! ",
"ho! ",
"ye evil spirits who dwell in the\ntrees, ye evil spirits who live in the grottoes, ye evil spirits who lodge\nin the earth, we give you these pivot-guns, these gongs, etc. ",
"Let the\nsickness cease and not so many people die of it.\" ",
"Then everybody runs home\nas fast as their legs can carry them.(320)\n\n(M86) In the island of Nias, when a man is seriously ill and other\nremedies have been tried in vain, the sorcerer proceeds to exorcise the\ndevil who is causing the illness. ",
"A pole is set up in front of the house,\nand from the top of the pole a rope of palm-leaves is stretched to the\nroof of the house. ",
"Then the sorcerer mounts the roof with a pig, which he\nkills and allows to roll from the roof to the ground. ",
"The devil, anxious\nto get the pig, lets himself down hastily from the roof by the rope of\npalm-leaves, and a good spirit, invoked by the sorcerer, prevents him from\nclimbing up again. ",
"If this remedy fails, it is believed that other devils\nmust still be lurking in the house. ",
"So a general hunt is made after them.",
"\nAll the doors and windows in the house are closed, except a single\ndormer-window in the roof. ",
"The men, shut up in the house, hew and slash\nwith their swords right and left to the clash of gongs and the rub-a-dub\nof drums. ",
"Terrified at this onslaught, the devils escape by the\ndormer-window, and sliding down the rope of palm-leaves take themselves\noff. ",
"As all the doors and windows, except the one in the roof, are shut,\nthe devils cannot get into the house again. ",
"In the case of an epidemic,\nthe proceedings are similar. ",
"All the gates of the village, except one, are\nclosed; every voice is raised, every gong and drum beaten, every sword\nbrandished. ",
"Thus the devils are driven out and the last gate is shut\nbehind them. ",
"For eight days thereafter the village is in a state of siege,\nno one being allowed to enter it.(321)\n\n(M87) The means adopted in Nias to exclude an epidemic from a village\nwhich has not yet been infected by it are somewhat similar; but as they\nexhibit an interesting combination of religious ritual with the purely\nmagical ceremony of exorcism, it may be worth while to describe them. ",
"When\nit is known that a village is suffering from the ravages of a dangerous\nmalady, the other villages in the neighbourhood take what they regard as\neffective measures for securing immunity from the disease. ",
"Some of these\nmeasures commend themselves to us as rational and others do not. ",
"In the\nfirst place, quarantine is established in each village, not only against\nthe inhabitants of the infected village, but against all strangers; no\nperson from outside is allowed to enter. ",
"In the second place, a feast is\nmade by the people for one of their idols who goes by the name of\n_Fangeroe wocho_, or Protector from sickness. ",
"All the people of the\nvillage must participate in the sacrifice and bear a share of the cost.",
"\nThe principal idol, crowned with palm-leaves, is set up in front of the\nchief's house, and all the inhabitants who can do so gather about it. ",
"The\nnames of those who cannot attend are mentioned, apparently as a substitute\nfor their attendance in person. ",
"While the priest is reciting the spells\nfor the banishment of the evil spirits, all persons present come forward\nand touch the image. ",
"A pig is then killed and its flesh furnishes a common\nmeal. ",
"The mouth of the idol is smeared with the bloody heart of the pig,\nand a dishful of the cooked pork is set before him. ",
"Of the flesh thus\nconsecrated to the idol none but priests and chiefs may partake. ",
"Idols\ncalled _daha_, or branches of the principal idol, are also set up in front\nof all the other houses in the village. ",
"Moreover, bogies made of black\nwood with white eyes, to which the broken crockery of the inhabitants has\nfreely contributed, are placed at the entrances of the village to scare\nthe demon and prevent him from entering. ",
"All sorts of objects whitened\nwith chalk are also hung up in front of the houses to keep the devil out.",
"\nWhen eight days have elapsed, it is thought that the sacrifice has taken\neffect, and the priest puts an end to the quarantine. ",
"All boys and men now\nassemble for the purpose of expelling the evil spirit. ",
"Led by the priest,\nthey march four times, with a prodigious noise and uproar, from one end of\nthe village to the other, slashing the air with their knives and stabbing\nit with their spears to frighten the devil away. ",
"If all these efforts\nprove vain, and the dreaded sickness breaks out, the people think it must\nbe because they have departed from the ways of their fathers by raising\nthe price of victuals and pigs too high or by enriching themselves with\nunjust gain. ",
"Accordingly a new idol is made and set up in front of the\nchief's house; and while the priest engages in prayer, the chief and the\nmagnates of the village touch the image, vowing as they do so to return to\nthe old ways and cursing all such as may refuse their consent or violate\nthe new law thus solemnly enacted. ",
"Then all present betake themselves to\nthe river and erect another idol on the bank. ",
"In presence of this latter\nidol the weights and measures are compared, and any that exceed the lawful\nstandard are at once reduced to it. ",
"When this has been done, they rock the\nimage to and fro to signify, or perhaps rather to ensure, thereby that he\nwho does not keep the new law shall suffer misfortune, or fall sick, or be\nthwarted in some way or other. ",
"Then a pig is killed and eaten on the bank\nof the river. ",
"The feast being over, each family contributes a certain sum\nin token that they make restitution of their unlawful gains. ",

"As soon as the eight o'clock gun fired in\nthe fort the people began firing muskets in their houses, turning all\ntheir furniture out of doors, beating about in every corner of the rooms\nwith sticks, etc., ",
"and screaming as loudly as possible, in order to\nfrighten the devil. ",
"Being driven out of the houses, as they imagine, they\nsallied forth into the streets, throwing lighted torches about, shouting,\nscreaming, beating sticks together, rattling old pans, making the most\nhorrid noise, in order to drive him out of the town into the sea. ",
"The\ncustom is preceded by four weeks' dead silence; no gun is allowed to be\nfired, no drum to be beaten, no palaver to be made between man and man.",
"\nIf, during these weeks, two natives should disagree and make a noise in\nthe town, they are immediately taken before the king and fined heavily. ",
"If\na dog or pig, sheep or goat be found at large in the street, it may be\nkilled, or taken by anyone, the former owner not being allowed to demand\nany compensation. ",
"This silence is designed to deceive Abonsam, that, being\noff his guard, he may be taken by surprise, and frightened out of the\nplace. ",

"During the whole of the interval between St. John's day and\nthe feast a desultory warfare is waged betwixt the youth of opposite sexes\nin the towns. ",
"They all sally out in the evenings, the boys armed with\nnettles or thistles and the girls with gourds containing a filthy solution\nof all sorts of abominations. ",
"When any of the hostile parties meet, they\nbegin by reviling each other in the foulest language, from which they\nproceed to personal violence, the boys stinging the girls with their\nnettles, while the girls discharge their stink-pots in the faces of their\nadversaries. ",
"These hostilities may perhaps be regarded as a preparation\nfor the festival of the Cross. ",
"The eve of the festival witnesses a\nceremony which doubtless belongs to the world-wide class of customs we are\ndealing with. ",
"At sunset a discharge of firearms takes place from all the\nprincipal houses. \"",
"Then every one provides himself with a torch, and\nduring the early part of the night bonfires are kindled, and the people\nparade the town, carrying their lighted torches in their hands. ",

"Thus at Kiriwina, in South-Eastern\nNew Guinea, when the new yams had been harvested, the people feasted and\ndanced for many days, and a great deal of property, such as armlets,\nnative money, and so forth, was displayed conspicuously on a platform\nerected for the purpose. ",
"When the festivities were over, all the people\ngathered together and expelled the spirits from the village by shouting,\nbeating the posts of the houses, and overturning everything under which a\nwily spirit might be supposed to lurk. ",
"The explanation which the people\ngave to a missionary was that they had entertained and feasted the spirits\nand provided them with riches, and it was now time for them to take their\ndeparture. ",
"Had they not seen the dances, and heard the songs, and gorged\nthemselves on the souls of the yams, and appropriated the souls of the\nmoney and all the other fine things set out on the platform? ",
"What more\ncould the spirits want? ",
"So out they must go.(356) Among the Hos of\nTogoland in West Africa the expulsion of evils is performed annually\nbefore the people eat the new yams.(357) The chiefs meet together and\nsummon the priests and magicians. ",
"They tell them that the people are now\nto eat the new yams and to be merry, therefore they must cleanse the town\nand remove the evils. ",
"For that purpose they take leaves of the _adzu_ and\n_wo_ trees, together with creepers and ashes. ",
"The leaves and creepers they\nbind fast to a pole of an _adzu_ tree, while they pray that the evil\nspirits, the witches, and all the ills in the town may pass into the\nbundle and be bound. ",
"Then they make a paste out of the ashes and smear it\non the bundle, saying, \"We smear it on the face of all the evil ones who\nare in this bundle, in order that they may not be able to see.\" ",
"With that\nthey throw the bundle, that is, the pole wrapt in leaves and creepers, on\nthe ground and they all mock at it. ",
"Then they prepare a medicine and take\nthe various leaf-wrapt poles, into which they have conjured and bound up\nall mischief, carry them out of the town, and set them up in the earth on\nvarious roads leading into the town. ",
"When they have done this, they say\nthat they have banished the evils from the town and shut the door in their\nface. ",
"With the medicine, which the elders have prepared, all men, women,\nchildren and chiefs wash their faces. ",
"After that everybody goes home to\nsweep out his house and homestead. ",
"The ground in front of the homesteads\nis also swept, so that the town is thoroughly cleansed. ",
"All the stalks of\ngrass and refuse of stock yams that have been swept together they cast out\nof the town, and they rail at the stock yams. ",
"In the course of the night\nthe elders assemble and bind a toad to a young palm-leaf. ",
"They say that\nthey will now sweep out the town and end the ceremony. ",
"For that purpose\nthey drag the toad through the whole town in the direction of Mount\nAdaklu. ",
"When that has been done, the priests say that they will now remove\nthe sicknesses. ",
"In the evening they give public notice that they are about\nto go on the road, and that therefore no one may light a fire on the\nhearth or eat food. ",
"Next morning the women of the town sweep out their\nhouses and hearths and deposit the sweepings on broken wooden plates. ",
"Many\nwrap themselves in torn mats and tattered clothes; others swathe\nthemselves in grass and creepers. ",
"While they do so, they pray, saying,\n\"All ye sicknesses that are in our body and plague us, we are come to-day\nto throw you out.\" ",
"When they start to do so, the priest gives orders that\neverybody is to scream once and at the same time to smite his mouth. ",
"In a\nmoment they all scream, smite their mouths, and run as fast as they can in\nthe direction of Mount Adaklu. ",

"\n\"They have a strange notion that at this period, men and women are so\novercharged with vicious propensities, that it is absolutely necessary for\nthe safety of the person to let off steam by allowing for a time full vent\nto the passions.\" ",
"The ceremonies open with a sacrifice to the village god\nof three fowls, a cock and two hens, one of which must be black. ",
"Along\nwith them are offered flowers of the Palas tree (_Butea frondosa_), bread\nmade from rice-flour, and sesamum seeds. ",
"These offerings are presented by\nthe village priest, who prays that during the year about to begin they and\ntheir children may be preserved from all misfortune and sickness, and that\nthey may have seasonable rain and good crops. ",
"Prayer is also made in some\nplaces for the souls of the dead. ",
"At this time an evil spirit is supposed\nto infest the place, and to get rid of it men, women, and children go in\nprocession round and through every part of the village with sticks in\ntheir hands, as if beating for game, singing a wild chant, and shouting\nvociferously, till they feel assured that the evil spirit must have fled.",
"\nThen they give themselves up to feasting and drinking rice-beer, till they\nare in a fit state for the wild debauch which follows. ",
"The festival now\n\"becomes a saturnale, during which servants forget their duty to their\nmasters, children their reverence for parents, men their respect for\nwomen, and women all notions of modesty, delicacy, and gentleness; they\nbecome raging bacchantes.\" ",
"Usually the Hos are quiet and reserved in\nmanner, decorous and gentle to women. ",
"But during this festival \"their\nnatures appear to undergo a temporary change. ",
"Sons and daughters revile\ntheir parents in gross language, and parents their children; men and women\nbecome almost like animals in the indulgence of their amorous\npropensities.\" ",
"The festival is not held simultaneously in all the\nvillages. ",
"The time during which it is celebrated in the different villages\nof a district may be from a month to six weeks, and by a preconcerted\narrangement the celebration begins at each village on a different date and\nlasts three or four days; so the inhabitants of each may take part in a\nlong series of orgies.

"On these occasions the utmost liberty is given to\nthe girls, who may absent themselves for days with the young men of\nanother village; parents at such times never attempt to lay their\ndaughters under any restraint. ",
"The Mundaris, kinsmen and neighbours of the\nHos, keep the festival in much the same manner. \"",
"The resemblance to a\nSaturnale is very complete, as at this festival the farm labourers are\nfeasted by their masters, and allowed the utmost freedom of speech in\naddressing them. ",
"It is the festival of the harvest home; the termination\nof one year's toil, and a slight respite from it before they commence\nagain.",

"When the last\ncrop of autumn has been got in, it is thought necessary to drive away evil\nspirits from the granaries. ",
"A kind of porridge called _mool_ is eaten, and\nthe head of the family takes his matchlock and fires it into the floor.",
"\nThen, going outside, he sets to work loading and firing till his\npowder-horn is exhausted, while all his neighbours are similarly employed.",
"\nThe next day is spent in rejoicings. ",
"In Chitral this festival is called\n\"devil-driving.",
"\"(360) On the other hand the Khonds of India expel the\ndevils at seed-time instead of at harvest. ",
"At this time they worship\nPitteri Pennu, the god of increase and of gain in every shape. ",
"On the\nfirst day of the festival a rude car is made of a basket set upon a few\nsticks, tied upon bamboo rollers for wheels. ",
"The priest takes this car\nfirst to the house of the lineal head of the tribe, to whom precedence is\ngiven in all ceremonies connected with agriculture. ",
"Here he receives a\nlittle of each kind of seed and some feathers. ",
"He then takes the car to\nall the other houses in the village, each of which contributes the same\nthings. ",
"Lastly, the car is conducted to a field without the village,\nattended by all the young men, who beat each other and strike the air\nviolently with long sticks. ",
"The seed thus carried out is called the share\nof the \"evil spirits, spoilers of the seed.\" \"",
"These are considered to be\ndriven out with the car; and when it and its contents are abandoned to\nthem, they are held to have no excuse for interfering with the rest of the\nseed-corn.\" ",
"Next day each household kills a hog over the seed for the\nyear, and prays to Pitteri Pennu, saying, \"O Pitteri Pennu! ",
"this seed we\nshall sow to-morrow. ",
"Some of us, your suppliants, will have a great\nreturn, some a small return. ",
"Let the least favoured have a full basket,\nlet the most favoured have many baskets. ",
"Give not this seed to ant, or\nrat, or hog. ",
"Let the stems which shall spring from it be so stout that the\nearth shall tremble under them. ",
"Let the rain find no hole or outlet\nwhereby to escape from our fields. ",
"Make the earth soft like the ashes of\ncow-dung. ",
"To him who has no iron wherewith to shoe his plough, make the\nwood of the _doh_-tree like iron. ",
"Provide other food than our seed for the\nparrot, the crow, and all the fowls and beasts of the jungle. ",
"Let not the\nwhite ant destroy the roots, nor the wild hog crush the stem to get at the\nfruit; and make our crops of all kinds have a better flavour than that of\nthose of any other country.\" ",
"The elders then feast upon the hogs. ",
"The\nyoung men are excluded from the repast, but enjoy the privilege of\nwaylaying and pelting with jungle-fruit their elders as they return from\nthe feast. ",
"Upon the third day the lineal head of the tribe goes out and\nsows his seed, after which all the rest may do so.(361)\n\n(M105) In Ranchi, a district of Chota Nagpur in Bengal, a ceremony is\nperformed every year by one of the clans to drive away disease. ",
"Should it\nprove ineffectual, all the villagers assemble by night and walk about the\nvillage in a body armed with clubs, searching for the disease. ",
"Everything\nthey find outside of the houses they smash. ",
"Hence on that day the people\nthrow out their chipped crockery, old pots and pans, and other trash into\nthe courtyard, so that when the search party comes along they may belabour\nthe heap of rubbish to their heart's content; the crash of shattered\ncrockery and the clatter of shivered pans indicates, we are told, that the\ndisease has departed; perhaps it might be more strictly accurate to say\nthat they have frightened it away.

"At all events a very loud noise is made\n\"so that the disease may not remain hidden anywhere.",
"\"(362) In a village of\nthe Mossos, an aboriginal tribe of south-western China, a French traveller\nwitnessed the annual ceremony of the expulsion of devils. ",
"Two magicians,\nwearing mitres of red pasteboard, went from house to house, attended by a\ntroop of children, their faces smeared with flour, some of whom carried\ntorches and others cymbals, while all made a deafening noise. ",
"After\ndancing a wild dance in the courtyard of the house, they entered the\nprincipal room, where the performers were regaled with a draught of ardent\nspirits, of which they sprinkled a few drops on the floor. ",
"Then the\nmagicians recited their spells to oblige the evil spirits to quit the\nchamber and the good spirits to enter it. ",
"At the end of each phrase, the\nchildren, speaking for the spirits, answered with a shout, \"We go\" or \"We\ncome.\" ",
"That concluded the ceremony in the house, and the noisy procession\nfiled out to repeat it in the next.(363)\n\n(M106) The people of Bali, an island to the east of Java, have periodical\nexpulsions of devils upon a great scale. ",
"Generally the time chosen for the\nexpulsion is the day of the \"dark moon\" in the ninth month. ",
"When the\ndemons have been long unmolested the country is said to be \"warm,\" and the\npriest issues orders to expel them by force, lest the whole of Bali should\nbe rendered uninhabitable. ",
"On the day appointed the people of the village\nor district assemble at the principal temple. ",
"Here at a cross-road\nofferings are set out for the devils. ",
"After prayers have been recited by\nthe priests, the blast of a horn summons the devils to partake of the meal\nwhich has been prepared for them. ",
"At the same time a number of men step\nforward and light their torches at the holy lamp which burns before the\nchief priest. ",
"Immediately afterwards, followed by the bystanders, they\nspread in all directions and march through the streets and lanes crying,\n\"Depart! ",
"go away!\" ",
"Wherever they pass, the people who have stayed at home\nhasten, by a deafening clatter on doors, beams, rice-blocks, and so forth,\nto take their share in the expulsion of devils. ",
"Thus chased from the\nhouses, the fiends flee to the banquet which has been set out for them;\nbut here the priest receives them with curses which finally drive them\nfrom the district. ",
"When the last devil has taken his departure, the uproar\nis succeeded by a dead silence, which lasts during the next day also. ",
"The\ndevils, it is thought, are anxious to return to their old homes, and in\norder to make them think that Bali is not Bali but some desert island, no\none may stir from his own abode for twenty-four hours. ",
"Even ordinary\nhousehold work, including cooking, is discontinued. ",
"Only the watchmen may\nshew themselves in the streets. ",
"Wreaths of thorns and leaves are hung at\nall the entrances to warn strangers from entering. ",
"Not till the third day\nis this state of siege raised, and even then it is forbidden to work at\nthe rice-fields or to buy and sell in the market. ",
"Most people still stay\nat home, striving to while away the time with cards and dice.(364)\n\n(M107) The Shans of Southern China annually expel the fire-spirit. ",
"The\nceremony was witnessed by the English Mission under Colonel Sladen on the\nthirteenth of August 1868. ",
"Bullocks and cows were slaughtered in the\nmarket-place; the meat was all sold, part of it was cooked and eaten,\nwhile the rest was fired out of guns at sundown. ",
"The pieces of flesh which\nfell on the land were supposed to become mosquitoes, those which fell in\nthe water were believed to turn into leeches. ",
"In the evening the chief's\nretainers beat gongs and blew trumpets; and when darkness had set in,\ntorches were lit, and a party, preceded by the musicians, searched the\ncentral court for the fire-spirit, who is supposed to lurk about at this\nseason with evil intent. ",
"They then ransacked all the rooms and the\ngardens, throwing the light of the torches into every nook and corner\nwhere the evil spirit might find a hiding-place.(365) In some parts of\nFiji an annual ceremony took place which has much the aspect of an\nexpulsion of devils. ",
"The time of its celebration was determined by the\nappearance of a certain fish or sea-slug (_balolo_) which swarms out in\ndense shoals from the coral reefs on a single day of the year, usually in\nthe last quarter of the moon in November. ",
"The appearance of the sea-slugs\nwas the signal for a general feast at those places where they were taken.",
"\nAn influential man ascended a tree and prayed to the spirit of the sky for\ngood crops, fair winds, and so on. ",
"Thereupon a tremendous clatter, with\ndrumming and shouting, was raised by all the people in their houses for\nabout half an hour. ",
"This was followed by a dead quiet for four days,\nduring which the people feasted on the sea-slug. ",
"All this time no work of\nany kind might be done, not even a leaf plucked nor the offal removed from\nthe houses. ",
"If a noise was made in any house, as by a child crying, a\nforfeit was at once exacted by the chief. ",
"At daylight on the expiry of the\nfourth night the whole town was in an uproar; men and boys scampered\nabout, knocking with clubs and sticks at the doors of the houses and\ncrying \"Sinariba!\" ",
"This concluded the ceremony.(366) The natives of\nTumleo, a small island off German New Guinea, also catch the sea-slug in\nthe month of November, and at this season they observe a curious ceremony,\nwhich may perhaps be explained as an expulsion of evils or demons. ",
"The\nlads, and sometimes grown men with them, go in troops into the forest to\nsearch for grass-arrows (_raeng_). ",
"When they have collected a store of\nthese arrows, they take sides and, armed with little bows, engage in a\nregular battle. ",
"The arrows fly as thick as hail, and though no one is\nkilled, many receive skin wounds and are covered with blood. ",
"The Catholic\nmissionary who reports the custom could not ascertain the reasons for\nobserving it. ",
"Perhaps one set of combatants represents the demons or\nembodied evils of the year, who are defeated and driven away by the\nchampions of the people. ",
"The month in which these combats take place\n(November and the beginning of December) is sometimes named after the\ngrass-arrows and sometimes after the sea-slug.(367)\n\n(M108) On the last night of the year there is observed in most Japanese\nhouses a ceremony called \"the exorcism of the evil spirit.\" ",
"It is\nperformed by the head of the family. ",
"Clad in his finest robes, with a\nsword, if he has the right of bearing one, at his waist, he goes through\nall the rooms at the hour of midnight, carrying in his left hand a box of\nroasted beans on a lacquered stand. ",
"From time to time he dips his right\nhand into the box and scatters a handful of beans on a mat, pronouncing a\ncabalistic form of words of which the meaning is, \"Go forth, demons! ",
"Enter\nriches!\"(368) According to another account, the ceremony takes place on\nthe night before the beginning of spring, and the roasted beans are flung\nagainst the walls as well as on the floors of the houses.(369) While the\nduty of expelling the devils should, strictly speaking, be discharged by\nthe head of the house, it is often delegated to a servant. ",
"Whether master\nor servant, the performer goes by the name of year-man (_toshi-otoko_),\nthe rite being properly performed on the last day of the year. ",
"The words\n\"Out with the devils\" (_Oni ha soto_) are pronounced by him in a loud\nvoice, but the words \"In with the luck\" (_fuku ha uchi_) in a low tone. ",
"In\nthe Shogun's palace the ceremony was performed by a year-man specially\nappointed for the purpose, who scattered parched beans in all the\nprincipal rooms. ",
"These beans were picked up by the women of the palace,\nwho wrapped as many of them in paper as they themselves were years old,\nand then flung them backwards out of doors. ",
"Sometimes people who had\nreached an unlucky year would gather these beans, one for each year of\ntheir life and one over, and wrap them in paper together with a small\ncopper coin which had been rubbed over their body to transfer the\nill-luck. ",
"The packet was afterwards thrown away at a cross-road. ",
"This was\ncalled \"flinging away ill-luck\" (_yaku sute_).(370) According to Lafcadio\nHearn, the casting-out of devils from the houses is performed by a\nprofessional exorciser for a small fee, and the peas which he scatters\nabout the house are afterwards swept up and carefully kept until the first\npeal of thunder is heard in spring, when it is customary to cook and eat\nsome of them. ",
"After the demons have been thoroughly expelled from a house,\na charm is set up over the door to prevent them from returning: it\nconsists of a wooden skewer with a holly leaf and the dried head of a fish\nlike a sardine stuck on it.(371)\n\n(M109) On the third day of the tenth month in every year the Hak-Ka, a\nnative race in the province of Canton, sweep their houses and turn the\naccumulated filth out of doors, together with three sticks of incense and\nsome mock money made of paper. ",
"At the same time they call out, \"Let the\ndevil of poverty depart! ",
"Let the devil of poverty depart!\" ",
"By performing\nthis ceremony they hope to preserve their homes from penury.(372) Among\nsome of the Hindoos of the Punjaub on the morning after Diwali or the\nfestival of lamps, at which the souls of ancestors are believed to visit\nthe house, the oldest woman of the family takes a corn-sieve or winnowing\nbasket and a broom, to both of which magical virtues are ascribed, and\nbeats them in every corner of the house, exclaiming, \"God abide, and\npoverty depart!\" ",
"The sieve is then carried out of the village, generally\nto the east or north, and being thrown away is supposed to bear away with\nit the poverty and distress of the household. ",
"Or the woman flings all the\nsweepings and rubbish out of doors, saying, \"Let all dirt and wretchedness\ndepart from here, and all good fortune come in.",
"\"(373) The Persians used\nannually to expel the demons or goblins (_Dives_) from their houses in the\nmonth of December. ",
"For this purpose the Magi wrote certain words with\nsaffron on a piece of parchment or paper and then held the writing over a\nfire into which they threw cotton, garlic, grapes, wild rue, and the horn\nof an animal that had been killed on the sixteenth of September. ",
"The spell\nthus prepared was nailed or glued to the inside of the door, and the door\nwas painted red. ",
"Next the priest took some sand and spread it out with a\nknife, while he muttered certain prayers. ",
"After that he strewed the sand\non the floor, and the enchantment was complete. ",
"The demons now immediately\nvanished, or at least were deprived of all their malignant power.(374)\n\n(M110) For ages it has been customary in China to expel the demons from\nhouse and home, from towns and cities, at the end of every year. ",
"Such\ngeneral expulsions of devils go by the name of _no_. ",
"They are often\nmentioned and described in Chinese literature. ",
"For example, under the Han\ndynasty, in the second century of our era, \"it was ordered that\n_fang-siang shi_ with four eyes of gold, masked with bearskins, and\nwearing black coats with red skirts, bearing lances and brandishing\nshields, should always perform at the end of the year in the twelfth month\nthe _no_ of the season, in the rear of hundreds of official servants and\nboys, and search the interior of the palace, in order to expel the demons\nof plague. ",
"With bows of peach wood and arrows of the thorny jujube they\nshoot at the spectres, and with porcelain drums they drum at them;\nmoreover they throw red balls and cereals at them, in order to remove\ndisease and calamity.",
"\"(375) Again, in a poem of the same period we read\nthat \"at the end of the year the great _no_ takes place for the purpose of\ndriving off all spectres. ",
"The _fang-siang_ carry their spears, _wu_ and\n_hih_ hold their bundles of reed. ",
"Ten thousand lads with red heads and\nblack clothes, with bows of peach wood and arrows of thorny jujube shoot\nat random all around. ",
"Showers of potsherds and pebbles come down like\nrain, infallibly killing strong spectres as well as the weak. ",
"Flaming\ntorches run after these beings, so that a sparkling and streaming glare\nchases the red plague to all sides; thereupon they destroy them in the\nimperial moats and break down the suspension bridges (to prevent their\nreturn).\"(376) At a later period Chinese historians inform us that the\nhouse of Tsi caused the annual expulsion of demons to be performed on the\nlast day of the year by two groups, each of one hundred and twenty lads,\nand twelve animals headed by drums and wind instruments. ",
"The gates of the\nwards and of the city walls were flung open, and the emperor witnessed the\nceremony seated on his throne in the midst of his officers. ",
"With rolling\ndrums the procession entered the palace through the western gate, and\npassed through all parts of it in two divisions, even ascending the\ntowers, while they hopped, jumped and shrieked; and on quitting the palace\nthey spread out in six directions till they reached the city walls.(377)\nAt the present time it is customary in every part of China to fire off\ncrackers on the last day and night of the year for the purpose of\nterrifying and expelling the devils: enormous quantities of the explosives\nare consumed at this season: the people seem to vie with one another as to\nwho shall let off the most crackers and make the most noise. ",
"Sometimes\nlong strings of these fireworks hang from balconies and eaves and keep up\na continuous crackling for half an hour together or more; in great cities\nthe prolonged and ear-splitting din is very annoying to foreigners. ",
"To the\nears of the Chinese the noise appears to be agreeable, if not for its own\nsake, at least for the beneficial effect it is supposed to produce by\ndriving demons away. ",
"Indeed they seem to be of opinion that any noise,\nprovided it be sufficiently harsh and loud, serves this useful purpose.",
"\nThe sound of brass instruments is particularly terrifying to devils; hence\nthe great use which the Chinese make of gongs in rites of exorcism. ",
"The\nclash of gongs, we are told, resounds through the Chinese empire daily,\nespecially in summer, when a rise in the death-rate, which ignorant\nEuropeans attribute to mere climatic influences, stimulates the people to\nredouble their efforts for the banishment of the fiends, who are the real\ncause of all the mischief. ",
"At such times you may see and hear groups of\nbenevolent and public-spirited men and women banging gongs, clashing\ncymbals, and drubbing drums for hours together. ",
"No protest is made by\ntheir neighbours, no complaint that they disturb the night's rest of the\nsick and the tired. ",
"People listen with resignation or rather with\ngratitude and complacency to the deafening uproar raised by these generous\nphilanthropists, who thus devote their services gratuitously to the cause\nof the public health.(378) In Corea, also, the devils are driven out of\nthe towns on New Year's Eve by the firing of guns and the popping of\ncrackers.(379)\n\n(M111) In Tonquin a _theckydaw_ or general expulsion of malevolent spirits\ncommonly took place once a year, especially if there was a great mortality\namongst men, the elephants or horses of the general's stable, or the\ncattle of the country, \"the cause of which they attribute to the malicious\nspirits of such men as have been put to death for treason, rebellion, and\nconspiring the death of the king, general, or princes, and that in revenge\nof the punishment they have suffered, they are bent to destroy everything\nand commit horrible violence.

"The day\nappointed for the ceremony was generally the twenty-fifth of February, one\nmonth after the beginning of the new year, which fell on the twenty-fifth\nof January. ",
"The intermediate month was a season of feasting, merry-making\nof all kinds, and general licence. ",
"During the whole month the great seal\nwas kept shut up in a box, face downwards, and the law was, as it were,\nlaid asleep. ",
"All courts of justice were closed; debtors could not be\nseized; small crimes, such as petty larceny, fighting, and assault,\nescaped with impunity; only treason and murder were taken account of and\nthe malefactors detained till the great seal should come into operation\nagain. ",
"At the close of the saturnalia the wicked spirits were driven away.",
"\nGreat masses of troops and artillery having been drawn up with flying\ncolours and all the pomp of war, \"the general beginneth then to offer meat\nofferings to the criminal devils and malevolent spirits (for it is usual\nand customary likewise amongst them to feast the condemned before their\nexecution), inviting them to eat and drink, when presently he accuses them\nin a strange language, by characters and figures, etc., ",
"of many offences\nand crimes committed by them, as to their having disquieted the land,\nkilled his elephants and horses, etc., ",
"for all which they justly deserve\nto be chastised and banished the country. ",
"Whereupon three great guns are\nfired as the last signal; upon which all the artillery and musquets are\ndischarged, that, by their most terrible noise the devils may be driven\naway; and they are so blind as to believe for certain, that they really\nand effectually put them to flight.",
"\"(380)\n\n(M112) In Cambodia the expulsion of evil spirits took place in March. ",
"Bits\nof broken statues and stones, considered as the abode of the demons, were\ncollected and brought to the capital. ",
"Here as many elephants were\ncollected as could be got together. ",
"On the evening of the full moon\nvolleys of musketry were fired and the elephants charged furiously to put\nthe devils to flight. ",
"The ceremony was performed on three successive\ndays.(381) In Siam the banishment of demons is annually carried into\neffect on the last day of the old year. ",
"A signal gun is fired from the\npalace; it is answered from the next station, and so on from station to\nstation, till the firing has reached the outer gate of the city. ",
"Thus the\ndemons are driven out step by step. ",
"As soon as this is done a consecrated\nrope is fastened round the circuit of the city walls to prevent the\nbanished demons from returning. ",
"The rope is made of tough couch-grass and\nis painted in alternate stripes of red, yellow, and blue.(382) According\nto a more recent account, the Siamese ceremony takes place at the New Year\nholidays, which are three in number, beginning with the first of April.",
"\nFor the feasting which accompanies these holidays a special kind of cake\nis made, \"which is as much in demand as our own Shrove-Tuesday pancakes or\nour Good-Friday hot cross-buns. ",

"The people inaugurate\ntheir New Year with numerous charitable and religious deeds. ",
"The rich\nentertain the monks, who recite appropriate prayers and chants. ",
"Every\ndeparted soul returns to the bosom of his family during these three days,\nfreed from any fetters that may have bound him in the regions of\nindefinable locality. ",
"On the third day the religious observances\nterminate, and the remaining hours are devoted to 'the world, the flesh,\nand the devil.' ",
"Gambling is not confined to the licensed houses, but may\nbe indulged in anywhere. ",
"Games of chance hold powerful sway in every house\nas long as the licence to participate in them lasts. ",
"Priests in small\ncompanies occupy posts at regular intervals round the city wall, and spend\ntheir time in chanting away the evil spirits. ",
"On the evening of the second\nday, the ghostly visitors from the lower realms lose the luxury of being\nexorcised with psalms. ",
"Every person who has a gun may fire it as often as\nhe pleases, and the noise thus made is undoubtedly fearful enough in its\nintensity to cause any wandering traveller from the far-off fiery land to\nretrace his steps with speed. ",
"The bang and rattle of pistols, muskets,\nshot-guns, and rifles cease not till the break of day, by which time the\ncity is effectually cleared of all its infernal visitors.",
"\"(383) From this\naccount we learn that among the spirits thus banished are the souls of the\ndead, who revisit their living friends once a year. ",
"To the same effect,\napparently, Bishop Bruguiere, writing from Bangkok in 1829, tells us that\n\"the three first days of the moon of April are days of solemn festivity\nfor the pious Siamese. ",
"That day Lucifer opens all the gates of the abyss,\nthe souls of the dead, which are shut up there, come forth and partake of\na repast in the bosom of their family. ",
"They are treated splendidly. ",
"One of\nthese three days a monk repairs to the palace to preach before the king.",
"\nAt the end of the sermon a preconcerted signal is given, and in a moment\nthe cannons are fired in all the quarters of the city to chase the devil\nout of the walls or to kill him, if he dares to resist. ",
"On the first day a\ntemporary king is named, who bears the title of _phaja-phollathep_; during\nthese three days he enjoys all the royal prerogatives, the real king\nremaining shut up in his palace.",
"\"(384)\n\n(M113) A similar belief and a similar custom prevail in Japan. ",
"There, too,\nthe souls of the departed return to their old homes once a year, and a\nfestival called the Feast of Lanterns is made to welcome them. ",
"They come\nat evening on the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the old calendar,\nwhich falls towards the end of August. ",
"It is needful to light them on\ntheir way. ",
"Accordingly bamboos with pretty lanterns attached to\nthem are fastened on the tombs, and being thickly set they make an\nillumination on the hills, where the burying-grounds are generally\nsituated. ",
"Lamps of many hues or rows of tapers are also lit and set out in\nfront of the houses and in the gardens, and small fires are kindled in the\nstreets, so that the whole city is in a blaze of light. ",
"After the sun has\nset, a great multitude issues from the town, for every family goes forth\nto meet its returning dead. ",
"When they come to the spot where they believe\nthe souls to be, they welcome the unseen visitors and invite them to rest\nafter their journey, and to partake of refreshments which they offer to\nthem. ",
"Having allowed the souls time enough to satisfy their hunger and\nrecover from their fatigue, they escort them by torchlight, chatting gaily\nwith them, into the city and to the houses where they lived and died.",
"\nThese are also illuminated with brilliant lanterns; a banquet is spread on\nthe tables; and the places of the dead, who are supposed to absorb the\nethereal essence of the food, are laid for them as if they were alive.",
"\nAfter the repast the living go from house to house to visit the souls of\ntheir dead friends and neighbours; and thus they spend the night running\nabout the town. ",
"On the evening of the third day of the festival, which is\nthe fifteenth day of the month, the time has come for the souls to return\nto their own place. ",
"Fires again blaze in the streets to light them on the\nroad; the people again escort them ceremoniously to the spot where they\nmet them two days before; and in some places they send the lanterns\nfloating away on rivers or the sea in miniature boats, which are laden\nwith provisions for the spirits on their way to their long home. ",
"But there\nis still a fear that some poor souls may have lagged behind, or even\nconcealed themselves in a nook or corner, loth to part from the scenes of\ntheir former life and from those they love. ",
"Accordingly steps are taken to\nhunt out these laggards and send them packing after their fellow-ghosts.",
"\nWith this intention the people throw stones on the roofs of their houses\nin great profusion; and going through every room armed with sticks they\ndeal swashing blows all about them in the empty air to chase away the\nlingering souls. ",
"This they do, we are told, out of a regard for their own\ncomfort quite as much as from the affection they bear to the dead; for\nthey fear to be disturbed by unseasonable apparitions if they suffered the\nairy visitors to remain in the house.(385)\n\n(M114) Thus in spite of the kindly welcome given to the souls, the fear\nwhich they inspire comes out plainly in the pains taken to ensure their\ndeparture; and this fear justifies us in including such forced departures\namong the ceremonies for the expulsion of evils with which we are here\nconcerned. ",
"It may be remembered that the annual banishment of ghosts has\nbeen practised by savages so low in the scale of humanity as the\nAustralian aborigines.(386) At the other end of the scale it was observed\nin classical antiquity by the civilized Greeks and Romans. ",
"The Athenians\nbelieved that at the festival of the Anthesteria the souls of the dead\ncame back from the nether world and went about the city. ",
"Accordingly ropes\nwere fastened round the temples to keep out the wandering ghosts; and with\na like intention the people chewed buckthorn in the morning and smeared\nthe doors of their houses with pitch, apparently thinking that any rash\nspirits who might attempt to enter would stick fast in the pitch and be\nglued, like so many flies, to the door. ",
"But at the end of the festival the\nsouls were bidden to depart in these words: \"Out of the door with you,\nsouls. ",
"The Anthesteria is over.",
"\"(387) Yet for the entertainment of the\nunseen guests during their short stay earthenware pots full of boiled food\nappear to have been everywhere prepared throughout the city; but probably\nthese were placed in the street outside the houses, in order to give the\nghosts no excuse for entering and disturbing the inmates. ",
"No priest would\neat of the food thus offered to the dead,(388) but prowling beggars\nprobably had no such scruples. ",
"Similarly when the Sea Dyaks of Sarawak\ncelebrate their great Festival of Departed Spirits at intervals which vary\nfrom one to three or four years, food is prepared for the dead and they\nare summoned from their far-off home to partake of it; but it is put\noutside at the entrance of the house. ",
"And before the general arrival of\nthe souls, while the people are busy brewing the drink for the feast, each\nfamily takes care to hang an earthenware pot full of the liquor outside of\nthe single room which it occupies in the large common house, lest some\nthirsty soul should arrive prematurely from the other world, and, forcing\nhis way into the domestic circle, should not merely slake his thirst but\ncarry off one of the living.(389) During three days in May the Romans held\na festival in honour of the ghosts. ",
"The temples were shut, doubtless to\nkeep out the ghostly swarms; but, as in Japan, every house seems to have\nbeen thrown open to receive the spirits of its own departed. ",
"When the\nreception was over, each head of a family arose at dead of night, washed\nhis hands, and having made with fingers and thumb certain magic signs to\nward off ghosts, he proceeded to throw black beans over his shoulder\nwithout looking behind him. ",
"As he did so, he said nine times, \"With these\nbeans I redeem me and mine\"; and the ghosts, following unseen at his\nheels, picked up the beans and left him and his alone. ",
"Then he dipped his\nhands again in water, clashed bronze vessels together to make a din, and\nbegged the ghosts to depart from his house, saying nine times, \"Go forth,\npaternal shades!\" ",
"After that he looked behind him, and the ceremony was\nover: the ghosts had taken their leave for another year.(390)\n\n(M115) Annual expulsions of demons, witches, or evil influences appear to\nhave been common among the heathen of Europe, if we may judge from the\nrelics of such customs among their descendants at the present day. ",
"Thus\namong the heathen Wotyaks, a Finnish people of Eastern Russia, all the\nyoung girls of the village assemble on the last day of the year or on New\nYear's Day, armed with sticks, the ends of which are split in nine places.",
"\nWith these they beat every corner of the house and yard, saying, \"We are\ndriving Satan out of the village.\" ",
"Afterwards the sticks are thrown into\nthe river below the village, and as they float down stream Satan goes with\nthem to the next village, from which he must be driven out in turn. ",
"In\nsome villages the expulsion is managed otherwise. ",
"The unmarried men\nreceive from every house in the village groats, flesh, and brandy. ",
"These\nthey take to the fields, light a fire under a fir-tree, boil the groats,\nand eat of the food they have brought with them, after pronouncing the\nwords, \"Go away into the wilderness, come not into the house.\" ",
"Then they\nreturn to the village and enter every house where there are young women.",
"\nThey take hold of the young women and throw them into the snow, saying,\n\"May the spirits of disease leave you.\" ",
"The remains of the groats and the\nother food are then distributed among all the houses in proportion to the\namount that each contributed, and each family consumes its share.",
"\nAccording to a Wotyak of the Malmyz district the young men throw into the\nsnow whomever they find in the houses, and this is called \"driving out\nSatan\"; moreover, some of the boiled groats are cast into the fire with\nthe words, \"O god, afflict us not with sickness and pestilence, give us\nnot up as a prey to the spirits of the wood.\" ",
"But the most antique form of\nthe ceremony is that observed by the Wotyaks of the Kasan Government.",
"\nFirst of all a sacrifice is offered to the Devil at noon. ",
"Then all the men\nassemble on horseback in the centre of the village, and decide with which\nhouse they shall begin. ",
"When this question, which often gives rise to hot\ndisputes, is settled, they tether their horses to the paling, and arm\nthemselves with whips, clubs of lime-wood, and bundles of lighted twigs.",
"\nThe lighted twigs are believed to have the greatest terrors for Satan.",
"\nThus armed, they proceed with frightful cries to beat every corner of the\nhouse and yard, then shut the door, and spit at the ejected fiend. ",
"So they\ngo from house to house, till the Devil has been driven from every one.",
"\nThen they mount their horses and ride out of the village, yelling wildly\nand brandishing their clubs in every direction. ",
"Outside of the village\nthey fling away the clubs and spit once more at the Devil.(391) The\nCheremiss, another Finnish people of Eastern Russia, chase Satan from\ntheir dwellings by beating the walls with cudgels of lime-wood. ",
"For the\nsame purpose they fire guns, stab the ground with knives, and insert\nburning chips of wood in the crevices. ",
"Also they leap over bonfires,\nshaking out their garments as they do so; and in some districts they blow\non long trumpets of lime-tree bark to frighten him away. ",
"When he has fled\nto the wood, they pelt the trees with some of the cheese-cakes and eggs\nwhich furnished the feast.(392)\n\n(M116) In Christian Europe the old heathen custom of expelling the powers\nof evil at certain times of the year has survived to modern times. ",
"Thus in\nsome villages of Calabria the month of March is inaugurated with the\nexpulsion of the witches. ",
"It takes place at night to the sound of the\nchurch bells, the people running about the streets and crying, \"March is\ncome.\" ",
"They say that the witches roam about in March, and the ceremony is\nrepeated every Friday evening during the month.(393) Often, as might have\nbeen anticipated, the ancient pagan rite has attached itself to church\nfestivals. ",
"For example, in Calabria at Eastertide every family provides\nitself in time with a supply of holy water, and when the church bells\nproclaim the resurrection of Christ the people sprinkle the house with the\nwater, saying in a loud voice, \"_Esciti fora surici uorvi, esciti fora\ntentaziuni, esca u malu ed entri u bene_.\" ",
"At the same time they knock on\ndoors and windows, on chests and other articles of furniture.(394) Again,\nin Albania on Easter Eve the young people light torches of resinous wood\nand march in procession, swinging them, through the village. ",
"At last they\nthrow the torches into the river, crying, \"Ha, Kore! ",
"we throw you into the\nriver, like these torches, that you may never return.",
"\"(395) Silesian\npeasants believe that on Good Friday the witches go their rounds and have\ngreat power for mischief. ",
"Hence about Oels, near Strehlitz, the people on\nthat day arm themselves with old brooms and drive the witches from house\nand home, from farmyard and cattle-stall, making a great uproar and\nclatter as they do so.(396)\n\n(M117) The belief in the maleficent power and activity of witches and\nwizards would seem to have weighed almost as heavily on the heathen of\nCentral and Northern Europe in prehistoric times as it still weighs on the\nminds of African <DW64>s and other savages in many parts of the world. ",
"But\nwhile these unhallowed beings were always with our forefathers, there were\ntimes and seasons of the year when they were supposed to be particularly\nmischievous, and when accordingly special precautions had to be taken\nagainst them. ",
"Among such times were the twelve days from Christmas to\nTwelfth Night, the Eve of St. George, the Eve of May Day (Walpurgis\nNight), and Midsummer Eve.(397)\n\n(M118) In Central Europe it was apparently on Walpurgis Night, the Eve of\nMay Day, above all other times that the baleful powers of the witches were\nexerted to the fullest extent; nothing therefore could be more natural\nthan that men should be on their guard against them at that season, and\nthat, not content with merely standing on their defence, they should\nboldly have sought to carry the war into the enemy's quarters by attacking\nand forcibly expelling the uncanny crew. ",
"Amongst the weapons with which\nthey fought their invisible adversaries in these grim encounters were holy\nwater, the fumes of incense or other combustibles, and loud noises of all\nkinds, particularly the clashing of metal instruments, amongst which the\nringing of church bells was perhaps the most effectual.(398) Some of these\nstrong measures are still in use among the peasantry, or were so down to\nrecent years, and there seems no reason to suppose that their magical\nvirtue has been at all impaired by lapse of time. ",
"In the Tyrol, as in\nother places, the expulsion of the powers of evil at this season goes by\nthe name of \"Burning out the Witches.\" ",
"It takes place on May Day, but\npeople have been busy with their preparations for days before. ",
"On a\nThursday at midnight bundles are made up of resinous splinters, black and\nred spotted hemlock, caperspurge, rosemary, and twigs of the sloe. ",
"These\nare kept and burned on May Day by men who must first have received plenary\nabsolution from the Church. ",
"On the last three days of April all the houses\nare cleansed and fumigated with juniper berries and rue. ",
"On May Day, when\nthe evening bell has rung and the twilight is falling, the ceremony of\n\"Burning out the Witches\" begins. ",
"Men and boys make a racket with whips,\nbells, pots, and pans; the women carry censers; the dogs are unchained and\nrun barking and yelping about. ",
"As soon as the church bells begin to ring,\nthe bundles of twigs, fastened on poles, are set on fire and the incense\nis ignited. ",
"Then all the house-bells and dinner-bells are rung, pots and\npans are clashed, dogs bark, every one must make a noise. ",
"And amid this\nhubbub all scream at the pitch of their voices,\n\n\n \"_Witch flee, flee from here,_\n _Or it will go ill with thee._\"",
"\n\n\nThen they run seven times round the houses, the yards, and the village. ",
"So\nthe witches are smoked out of their lurking-places and driven away.(399)\n\n(M119) The custom of expelling the witches on Walpurgis Night is still, or\nwas down to thirty or forty years ago, observed in many parts of Bavaria\nand among the Germans of Bohemia. ",
"Thus in the Boehmerwald Mountains, which\ndivide Bavaria from Bohemia, all the young fellows of the village assemble\nafter sunset on some height, especially at a cross-road, and crack whips\nfor a while in unison with all their strength. ",
"This drives away the\nwitches; for so far as the sound of the whips is heard, these maleficent\nbeings can do no harm. ",
"The peasants believe firmly in the efficacy of this\nremedy. ",
"A yokel will tell his sons to be sure to crack their whips loudly\nand hit the witches hard; and to give more sting to every blow the\nwhip-lashes are knotted. ",
"On returning to the village the lads often sing\nsongs and collect contributions of eggs, lard, bread, and butter. ",
"In some\nplaces, while the young fellows are cracking their whips, the herdsmen\nwind their horns, and the long-drawn notes, heard far-off in the silence\nof night, are very effectual for banning the witches. ",
"In other places,\nagain, the youth blow upon so-called shawms made of peeled willow-wood in\nfront of every house, especially in front of such houses as are suspected\nof harbouring a witch.(400) In Voigtland, a bleak mountainous region of\nCentral Germany(401) bordering on the Frankenwald Mountains, the belief in\nwitchcraft is still widely spread. ",
"The time when the witches are\nparticularly dreaded is Walpurgis Night, but they play their pranks also\non Midsummer Eve, St. Thomas's Eve, and Christmas Eve. ",
"On these days they\ntry to make their way into a neighbour's house and to borrow or steal\nsomething from it; and woe betide the man in whose house they have\nsucceeded in their nefarious errand! ",
"It is on Walpurgis Night and\nMidsummer Eve that they ride through the air astride of pitchforks and\nchurn-dashers. ",
"They also bewitch the cattle; so to protect the poor beasts\nfrom their hellish machinations the people on these days chalk up three\ncrosses on the doors of the cattle-stalls or hang up St. John's wort,\nmarjoram, and so forth. ",
"Very often, too, the village youth turn out in a\nbody and drive the witches away with the cracking of whips, the firing of\nguns, and the waving of burning besoms through the air, not to mention\nshouts and noises of all sorts.(402) Such customs appear to be observed\ngenerally in Thueringen, of which Voigtland is a part. ",
"The people think\nthat the blows of the whip actually fall on the witches hovering unseen in\nthe air, and that so far as the cracking of the whips is heard, the crops\nwill be good and nothing will be struck by lightning,(403) no doubt\nbecause the witches have been banished by the sound.",
"\n\n(M120) In Bohemia many are the precautions taken by the peasantry, both\nGerman and Czech, to guard themselves and their cattle against the witches\non Walpurgis Night. ",
"Thorny branches are laid on the thresholds of\ncow-houses and dwellings to keep out the infernal crew, and after sunset\nboys armed with whips and guns drive them from the villages with a\nprodigious uproar and burn them in bonfires on the neighbouring heights.",
"\nIt is true that the witches themselves are not seen, though effigies of\nthem are sometimes consumed in the bonfires. ",
"This \"Burning of the\nWitches,\" as it is called, protects the crops from their ravages. ",
"German\nlads also employ goats' horns as a means of driving away the witches at\nthe moment when they issue forth from kitchen-chimneys on their way to the\nwitches' Sabbath.(404) Some minor variations in the mode of expelling the\nwitches on Walpurgis Night have been noted in the German villages of\nWestern Bohemia. ",
"Thus in Absrot the village youth go out to cross-roads\nand there beat the ground with boards, no doubt for the purpose of\nthrashing the witches who are commonly supposed to assemble at such spots.",
"\nIn Deslawen, after the evening bells have rung, people go through the\nhouses beating the walls or floors with boards; then they issue forth into\nthe roads, headed by a boy who carries the effigy of a witch made up of\nrags. ",
"Thereupon grown-up folk crack whips and fire shots. ",
"In Schoenwert the\nyoung people go in bands through the village and the meadows, making a\ngreat noise with bells, flutes, and whips, for the more noise they make\nthe more effectual is the ceremony supposed to be. ",
"Meantime the older men\nare busy firing shots over the fields and the dungheaps. ",
"In Hochofen\ntroops of children go from house to house on Walpurgis Evening, making a\ngreat clatter with tin cans and kettles, while they scream, \"Witch, go\nout, your house is burning.\" ",
"This is called \"Driving out the\nWitches.",
"\"(405) The German peasants of Moravia, also, universally believe\nthat on Walpurgis Night the witches ride through the air on broomsticks\nand pitchforks in order to revel with Satan, their master, at the old\nheathen places of sacrifice, which are commonly on heights. ",
"To guard the\ncattle and horses from their insidious attacks it is usual to put knives\nunder the thresholds and to stick sprigs of birch in the dungheaps.",
"\nFormerly lads used to gather on the heights where the witches were\nbelieved to assemble; and by hurling besoms, dipped in pitch and ignited,\nthey attempted to banish the invisible foe.(406)\n\n(M121) In Silesia also, we are told, the belief in witchcraft still\noccupies a large space in the minds of the people. ",
"It is on Walpurgis\nNight that the witches are let loose and all the powers of magic have full\nsway. ",
"At that time the cottagers not uncommonly see a witch astride a\nhayfork or broomstick emerging from the chimney. ",
"Hence people are careful\nto remove all utensils from the fireplace, or the witches would ride on\nthem, when they go with the Evil One to a cross-road or a gallows-hill,\nthere to dance wild dances in a circle on the snow or to cut capers on the\ncorn-fields. ",
"Steps are taken to guard village, house, and farmyard against\ntheir incursions. ",
"Three crosses are chalked up on every door, and little\nbirch-trees fastened over the house-door, because the witches must count\nevery leaf on the tree before they can cross the threshold, and while they\nare still counting, the day breaks and their power is gone. ",
"On that\nevening the cattle are especially exposed to the attacks of the witches,\nand prudent farmers resort to many expedients for the sake of protecting\nthe animals from the wiles of these malignant beings. ",
"No wise man would\nsell milk or butter on Walpurgis Night; if he did, his cows would\ncertainly be bewitched. ",
"And all the work of the byres should be finished\nand the cattle fed before sundown, which is the time when the witches\nbegin to swarm in the air. ",
"Besides the usual crosses chalked on the door\nof the byre, it is customary to fasten over it three horse-shoes, or a\nholed flint, or a goat's horns with four branches; it is well, too, to\nnail bits of buckthorn crosswise over every entrance, and to lean\npitchforks and harrows against the doors with the sharp points turned\noutwards. ",
"A sod freshly cut from a meadow and sprinkled with\nmarsh-marigolds has likewise a very good effect when it is placed before a\nthreshold. ",
"Moreover in the Gruenberg district young men go clanking chains\nthrough the village and farmyards, for iron scares the witches; also they\nknock at the doors and they prance through the yards astride on pitchforks\nand broomsticks, all to drive away the witches, but in doing so they must\nbe sure not to speak a word. ",
"A very powerful means of keeping witches at\nbay are the Walpurgis bonfires, which are still kindled in the Hoyerswerda\ndistrict and the Iser Mountains. ",
"The fires are fed with the stumps of old\nbrooms, and the people dance round them and wave burning besoms, just as\nthey do at the Midsummer bonfires. ",
"About Hoyerswerda they call these\nfires, as usual, \"Burning the Witches.",
"\"(407)\n\n(M122) The Wends of Saxony adopt very similar precautions against witches\non the evening of Walpurgis Day. ",
"Any one who has been in Lusatia on the\nlast day of April must remember the fires which he saw blazing on the\nmountains and in the valleys and the plains. ",
"That is the Witch-burning\n(_kuzlarnice palic_). ",
"For weeks before that the boys and lads have been\ncollecting old brooms, and when the time comes they sally forth and dance\nwith the burning besoms on the fields; the fire is thought to ban the\nwitches and foul fiends. ",
"Also on that day people march about the fields\nand meadows clinking stones on scythes; for the noise is also deemed\neffectual in driving the witches away.(408) At Penzance in Cornwall boys\nrun about blowing horns on the thirtieth of April (Walpurgis Day), and\nwhen questioned why they do so they say that they are \"scaring away the\ndevil.\" ",
"The horns used for this purpose are made of tin and shaped like a\nherald's trumpet; they vary in length from a foot to a yard and can give\nforth a very loud blast.(409) The custom is probably a relic of a general\nexpulsion of witches and demons on that day.",
"\n\n(M123) Another witching time is the period of twelve days between\nChristmas (the twenty-fifth of December) and Epiphany (the sixth of\nJanuary). ",
"A thousand quaint superstitions cluster round that mystic\nseason. ",
"It is then that the Wild Huntsman sweeps through the air, the\npowers of evil are let loose, werewolves are prowling round, and the\nwitches work their wicked will. ",
"Hence in some parts of Silesia the people\nburn pine-resin all night long between Christmas and the New Year in order\nthat the pungent smoke may drive witches and evil spirits far away from\nhouse and homestead; and on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve they fire\nshots over fields and meadows, into shrubs and trees, and wrap straw round\nthe fruit-trees, to prevent the spirits from doing them harm.(410) On New\nYear's Eve, which is Saint Sylvester's Day, Bohemian lads, armed with\nguns, form themselves into circles and fire thrice into the air. ",
"This is\ncalled \"Shooting the Witches\" and is supposed to frighten the witches\naway. ",
"While the young fellows are rendering this service to the community,\nthe housewives go about their houses sprinkling holy water in all the\nrooms and chalking three crosses on every door,(411) no doubt to\naccelerate the departure of the witches, and to prevent their return. ",
"At\nTrieste on St. Sylvester's Eve people form processions and drive the evil\nspirits with sticks and brooms out of the houses, while they invite the\ngood spirits and good luck to come and dwell there.(412) In the town of\nBiggar, in Lanarkshire, it has been customary from time immemorial to\ncelebrate a custom called \"burning out the Old Year\" on the thirty-first\nof December. ",
"A large bonfire, to which all the onlookers think it their\nduty to contribute fuel, is kindled in the evening at the town cross, and\nfires are also lighted on the adjacent hills.(413) When we remember how\ncommon it is in Central Europe to kindle fires at critical seasons for the\npurpose of burning the witches, we may suspect that what the good people\nof Biggar originally intended to burn on the last night of the year was\nnot the Old Year but the witches. ",
"It would have been well for Scotland and\nfor Europe if the practice of burning witches had always been carried out\nin this harmless fashion. ",
"A visitor to Scotland in 1644 saw nine witches\nof flesh and blood burned at one time on Leith Links.(414)\n\n(M124) The last of the mystic twelve days is Epiphany or Twelfth Night,\nand it has been selected as a proper season for the expulsion of the\npowers of evil in various parts of Europe. ",
"Thus at Brunnen on the Lake of\nLucerne the boys go about in procession on Twelfth Night, carrying torches\nand lanterns, and making a great noise with horns, cow-bells, whips, and\nso forth. ",
"This is said to frighten away the two female spirits of the\nwood, Strudeli and Straetteli. ",
"Of these two names Strudeli seems to mean\n\"witch\" and Straetteli \"nightmare.\" ",
"The people believe that if they do not\nmake enough noise, there will be little fruit that year.(415) On the same\nday the inhabitants of the Muota Valley, immediately to the east of\nBrunnen, used to make a similar racket, no doubt for a similar purpose.",
"\nThey collected chains, pots and pans, cow-bells, horns, and such like\nmusical instruments. ",
"He who could borrow a number of horse's bells and\nwear them on his person so that the jangling sounded afar off was deemed\nuncommonly lucky. ",
"Thus equipped parties of people marched about making all\nthe din they could; sometimes they would meet and joining all their\nefforts in one concerted burst of harmony or discord would raise such a\nhubbub that the surrounding rocks rang again with the sound.(416) In\nLabruguiere, also, a canton of Southern France, the evil spirits are\nexpelled at the same season. ",
"The canton lies in the picturesque and\nlittle-known region of the Black Mountains, which form a sort of link\nbetween the Pyrenees and the Cevennes, and have preserved in their remote\nrecesses certain types of life which have long disappeared elsewhere. ",
"On\nthe eve of Twelfth Day the inhabitants rush through the streets jangling\nbells, clattering kettles, and doing everything to make a discordant\nnoise. ",
"Then by the light of torches and blazing <DW19>s they set up a\nprodigious hue and cry, an ear-splitting uproar, hoping thereby to chase\nall the wandering ghosts and devils from the town.(417)\n\n(M125) With this noisy ceremony we may compare a similar custom which is\nstill observed year by year at the same season in the long and spacious\nPiazza Navona at Rome. ",
"There on the night before Epiphany a dense crowd\nassembles, and diverts itself by raising a hideous uproar. ",
"Soon after\nsupper troops of young folk and others march through the streets, preceded\nby puppets or pasteboard figures and all making the utmost possible din.",
"\nThey converge from different quarters on the Piazza Navona, there to unite\nin one prolonged and deafening outburst of clangorous discord. ",
"The\nfavourite musical instruments employed in this cats' concert are penny\ntrumpets, of which, together with tambourines, bells, and so forth, the\nshops take care to provide a large stock as a preparation for the\npandemonium of the evening. ",
"The ceremony is supposed to be in honour of a\ncertain mythical old hag called Befana, effigies of whom, made of rags,\nare put by women and children in the windows on Twelfth Night. ",
"Her name\nBefana is clearly a popular corruption of Epiphany, the ecclesiastical\nname of the festival; but viewed in connexion with the popular\ncelebrations which we have examined she may be suspected to be of heathen\nrather than Christian origin. ",
"In fact we may conjecture that she was of\nold a witch, and that the noisy rite in the Piazza Navona is nothing but a\nrelic of an annual expulsion of witches at this season.(418) A ceremony of\nthe same sort is annually observed on the same evening, the Eve of\nEpiphany, by the peasantry who inhabit the mountains of the Tuscan\nRomagna. ",
"A troop of lads parade the streets of the village making a\nfiendish noise by means of bells and kitchen utensils of tin and brass,\nwhile others blow blasts on horns and reed-pipes. ",
"They drag about a cart\ncontaining an effigy of an old woman made up of rags and tow, which\nrepresents Befana (Epiphany). ",
"When they come to the village square they\nput fire to the effigy, which soon vanishes in smoke and flames amid a\nchorus of cries, shrieks, and other forms of rustic melody.(419) Similar\nceremonies are probably observed on the same evening in other parts of\nItaly.",
"\n\n(M126) In the Shetland Islands the Yule or Christmas holidays begin, or\nused to begin, seven days before Christmas and last till Antinmas, that\nis, the twenty-fourth day after Christmas. ",
"In the Shetland parlance these\nholidays are known as \"the Yules.\" ",
"On the first night, called Tul-ya's\ne'en, seven days before Christmas, certain mischievous elves, whom the\nShetlanders name Trows, \"received permission to leave their homes in the\nheart of the earth and dwell, if it so pleased them, above ground. ",
"There\nseemed to have been no doubt that those creatures preferred disporting\nthemselves among the dwellings of men to residing in their own\nsubterranean abodes, for they availed themselves of every permission\ngiven, and created no little disturbance among the mortals whom they\nvisited. ",
"One of the most important of all Yule-tide observances was the\n'saining' required to guard life or property from the Trows. ",
"If the proper\nobservances were omitted, the 'grey-folk' were sure to take advantage of\nthe opportunity.",
"\"(420) On the last day of the holidays, the twenty-fourth\nday after Christmas, which in Shetland goes by the name of Up-helly-a',\nUphellia, or Uphaliday, \"the doors were all opened, and a great deal of\npantomimic chasing and driving and dispersing of unseen creatures took\nplace. ",
"Many pious ejaculations were uttered, and iron was ostentatiously\ndisplayed, 'for Trows can never abide the sight o' iron.' ",
"The Bible was\nread and quoted. ",
"People moved about in groups or couples, never singly,\nand infants were carefully guarded as well as sained by vigilant and\nlearned 'wise women.' ",
"Alas, the poor Trows! ",
"their time of frolic and\nliberty was ended, and on Twenty-fourth night they retired to their gloomy\nabodes beneath the sod, seldom finding opportunity to reappear again, and\nnever with the same licence, until the Yules returned. ",
"All that pantomime,\nall that invoking of holier Powers, were but methods of 'speeding the\nparting guest,' and mortals were rejoicing that the unbidden, unwelcome\ngrey-folk must depart. ",
"When day dawned after Twenty-fourth night the Trows\nhad vanished and the Yules were ended.",
"\"(421) Of late years Up-helly-a' has\nbeen celebrated in Lerwick with pompous and elaborate masquerades. ",
"The\nchief event of the evening is a torch-light procession of maskers or\n\"guizers,\" as they are called, who escort the model of a Norse galley\nthrough the streets, and finally set it on fire by throwing their torches\ninto it. ",
"But in this form the celebration seems to date only from the\nlatter part of the nineteenth century; in former times an old boat filled\nwith tar and ignited was dragged about and blazing tar-barrels were drawn\nor kicked through the streets.(422) The fire, however procured, was\nprobably in origin intended to chase away the lingering Trows from the\ntown at the end of the holidays.",
"\n\n(M127) Thus it would seem that the custom of annually banishing witches\nand demons on a day or night set apart for the purpose has not been\nconfined to Central Europe, but can be traced from Calabria and Rome in\nthe south to the Shetland Islands in the far north.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER IV. ",
"PUBLIC SCAPEGOATS.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 1. ",
"The Expulsion of Embodied Evils.",
"\n\n\n(M128) Thus far we have dealt with that class of the general expulsion of\nevils which I have called direct or immediate. ",
"In this class the evils are\ninvisible, at least to common eyes, and the mode of deliverance consists\nfor the most part in beating the empty air and raising such a hubbub as\nmay scare the mischievous spirits and put them to flight. ",
"It remains to\nillustrate the second class of expulsions, in which the evil influences\nare embodied in a visible form or are at least supposed to be loaded upon\na material medium, which acts as a vehicle to draw them off from the\npeople, village, or town.",
"\n\n(M129) The Pomos of California celebrate an expulsion of devils every\nseven years, at which the devils are represented by disguised men. \"",
"Twenty\nor thirty men array themselves in harlequin rig and barbaric paint, and\nput vessels of pitch on their heads; then they secretly go out into the\nsurrounding mountains. ",
"These are to personify the devils. ",
"A herald goes up\nto the top of the assembly-house, and makes a speech to the multitude. ",
"At\na signal agreed upon in the evening the masqueraders come in from the\nmountains, with the vessels of pitch flaming on their heads, and with all\nthe frightful accessories of noise, motion, and costume which the savage\nmind can devise in representation of demons. ",
"The terrified women and\nchildren flee for life, the men huddle them inside a circle, and, on the\nprinciple of fighting the devil with fire, they swing blazing firebrands\nin the air, yell, whoop, and make frantic dashes at the marauding and\nbloodthirsty devils, so creating a terrific spectacle, and striking great\nfear into the hearts of the assembled hundreds of women, who are screaming\nand fainting and clinging to their valorous protectors. ",
"Finally the devils\nsucceed in getting into the assembly-house, and the bravest of the men\nenter and hold a parley with them. ",
"As a conclusion of the whole farce, the\nmen summon courage, the devils are expelled from the assembly-house, and\nwith a prodigious row and racket of sham fighting are chased away into the\nmountains.",
"\"(423) In spring, as soon as the willow-leaves were full grown\non the banks of the river, the Mandan Indians celebrated their great\nannual festival, one of the features of which was the expulsion of the\ndevil. ",
"A man, painted black to represent the devil, entered the village\nfrom the prairie, chased and frightened the women, and acted the part of a\nbuffalo bull in the buffalo dance, the object of which was to ensure a\nplentiful supply of buffaloes during the ensuing year. ",
"Finally he was\nchased from the village, the women pursuing him with hisses and gibes,\nbeating him with sticks, and pelting him with dirt.(424) The Mayas of\nYucatan divided the year into eighteen months of twenty days each, and\nthey added five supplementary days at the end of the year in order to make\na total of three hundred and sixty-five days. ",
"These five supplementary\ndays were deemed unlucky. ",
"In the course of them the people banished the\nevils that might threaten them in the year on which they were about to\nenter. ",
"For that purpose they made a clay image of the demon of evil\nUuayayab, that is _u-uayab-haab_, \"He by whom the year is poisoned,\"\nconfronted it with the deity who had supreme power over the coming year,\nand then carried it out of the village in the direction of that cardinal\npoint to which, on the system of the Mayan calendar, the particular year\nwas supposed to belong. ",
"Having thus rid themselves of the demon, they\nlooked forward to a happy New Year.(425)\n\n(M130) Some of the native tribes of Central Queensland believe in a\nnoxious being called Molonga, who prowls unseen and would kill men and\nviolate women if certain ceremonies were not performed. ",
"These ceremonies\nlast for five nights and consist of dances, in which only men,\nfantastically painted and adorned, take part. ",
"On the fifth night Molonga\nhimself, personified by a man tricked out with red ochre and feathers and\ncarrying a long feather-tipped spear, rushes forth from the darkness at\nthe spectators and makes as if he would run them through. ",
"Great is the\nexcitement, loud are the shrieks and shouts, but after another feigned\nattack the demon vanishes in the gloom.(426) On the last night of the year\nthe palace of the Kings of Cambodia is purged of devils. ",
"Men painted as\nfiends are chased by elephants about the palace courts. ",
"When they have\nbeen expelled, a consecrated thread of cotton is stretched round the\npalace to keep them out.(427) In Munzerabad, a district of Mysore in\nSouthern India, when cholera or smallpox has broken out in a parish, the\ninhabitants assemble and conjure the demon of the disease into a wooden\nimage, which they carry, generally at midnight, into the next parish. ",
"The\ninhabitants of that parish in like manner pass the image on to their\nneighbours, and thus the demon is expelled from one village after another,\nuntil he comes to the bank of a river into which he is finally\nthrown.(428) Russian villagers seek to protect themselves against\nepidemics, whether of man or beast, by drawing a furrow with a plough\nright round the village. ",
"The plough is dragged by four widows and the\nceremony is performed at night; all fires and lights must be extinguished\nwhile the plough is going the round. ",
"The people think that no unclean\nspirit can pass the furrow which has thus been traced. ",
"In the village of\nDubrowitschi a puppet is carried before the plough with the cry, \"Out of\nthe village with the unclean spirit!\" ",
"and at the end of the ceremony it is\ntorn in pieces and the fragments scattered about.(429) No doubt the demon\nof the disease is supposed to be in the puppet and to be destroyed with\nit. ",
"Sometimes in an Esthonian village a rumour will get about that the\nEvil One himself has been seen in the place. ",
"Instantly the whole village\nis in an uproar, and the entire population, armed with sticks, flails, and\nscythes, turns out to give him chase. ",
"They generally expel him in the\nshape of a wolf or a cat, occasionally they brag that they have beaten the\ndevil to death.(430) At Carmona, in Andalusia, on one day of the year,\nboys are stripped naked and smeared with glue in which feathers are stuck.",
"\nThus disguised, they run from house to house, the people trying to avoid\nthem and to bar their houses against them.(431) The ceremony is probably a\nrelic of an annual expulsion of devils.",
"\n\n(M131) Some of the Khasis of Assam annually expel the demon of plague. ",
"The\nceremony is called _Beh-dieng-khlam_, that is \"Driving away (_beh_) the\nplague (_khlam_) with sticks (_dieng_)\"; it takes place in the Deep-water\nmonth (June). ",
"On the day fixed for the expulsion the men rise early and\nbeat the roof with sticks, calling upon the demon of the plague to leave\nthe house. ",
"Later in the day they go down to the stream where the goddess\nAitan dwells. ",
"Then long poles or bamboos, newly cut, are laid across the\nstream and the people jump on them, trying to break them; when they\nsucceed, they give a great shout. ",
"Next a very large pole or bamboo is\nsimilarly laid across the stream, and the people divide themselves into\ntwo parties, one on each side of the stream, and pull against each other\nat opposite ends of the pole. ",
"According to one account the party which\nsucceeds in dragging the pole to their side of the stream is supposed to\ngain health and prosperity during the coming year. ",
"According to another\naccount, if the people on the east bank win in the contest or\n\"tug-of-war,\" good luck and prosperity are assured; but if the people on\nthe west bank are victorious, then everything will go wrong. ",
"On this\noccasion the people disguise themselves as giants and wild beasts, and\nthey parade images of serpents, elephants, tigers, peacocks, and so on.",
"\nThe men dance with enthusiasm, and the girls, dressed in their best, look\non. ",
"Before the assembly breaks up, the men play a sort of game of hockey\nwith wooden balls.(432) In this ceremonial contest or \"tug of war\" between\ntwo parties of the people, we may conjecture that the one party represents\nthe expelled demons of the plague; and if that is so, we may perhaps\nassume that in the struggle the representatives of the demons generally\nallow themselves to be overcome by their adversaries, in order that the\nvillage may be free from pestilence in the coming year. ",
"Similarly in\nautumn the Central Esquimaux divide themselves into two parties,\nrepresenting summer and winter respectively, which pull at opposite ends\nof a rope; and they draw omens of the weather to be expected in the coming\nwinter according as the party of summer or of winter prevails in the\nstruggle.(433) That in such contests, resembling our English game of\n\"French and English\" or the \"Tug of War,\" the one side may represent\ndemons is proved by a custom observed by the Chukmas, a tribe of the\nChittagong Hill Tracts in South-Eastern India. \"",
"On the death of a Dewan or\nof a priest a curious sport is customary at the funeral. ",
"The corpse is\nconveyed to the place of cremation on a car; to this car ropes are\nattached, and the persons attending the ceremony are divided into two\nequal bodies and set to work to pull in opposite directions. ",
"One side\nrepresents the good spirits; the other, the powers of evil. ",
"The contest is\nso arranged that the former are victorious. ",
"Sometimes, however, the young\nmen representing the demons are inclined to pull too vigorously, but a\nstick generally quells this unseemly ardour in the cause of evil.",
"\"(434)\nThe contest is like that between the angels and devils depicted in the\nfrescoes of the Campo Santo at Pisa. ",
"In Burma a similar struggle takes\nplace at the funeral of a Buddhist monk who passed for a saint in the\npopular estimation: ropes are attached to opposite ends of the car on\nwhich the coffin is placed, all the able-bodied men of the neighbourhood\nhold on to one or other of the two ends and pull as if for dear life\nagainst each other; even the women and girls sometimes join in the tug of\nwar, and policemen have been seen, in a state of frantic excitement,\nwaving their batons to encourage the combatants and dragging back shirkers\nby main force into the fighting line. ",
"The struggle is sometimes prolonged\nfor hours or even days.(435) With the example of the Chukmas before us, we\nmay conjecture that the original motive of this internecine strife was a\npersuasion that the eternal happiness or misery of the departed saint\ndepended on the issue of this contest between the powers of good and evil\nfor the possession of his mortal remains.",
"\n\n(M132) But in Burma the tug of war has been employed for more secular\npurposes than the salvation or perdition of souls. \"",
"The inhabitants,\" we\nare told, \"still have a custom of pulling a rope to produce rain. ",
"A rain\nparty and a drought party tug against each other, the rain party being\nallowed the victory, which in the popular notion is generally followed by\nrain.",
"\"(436) The mode in which this salutary result follows from tugging at\na rope is explained by the Burmese doctrine of _nats_ or spirits who cause\nrain. ",
"But it is only when these spirits sport in the air that rain falls;\nwhen they shut themselves up in their houses there is drought. ",
"Now in some\nBurmese writings \"it is said, that when the sun is in the path of the\ngoat, these _Nat_ do not chuse to leave their houses on account of the\ngreat heat, whence there is then no rain. ",
"For this reason, the inhabitants\nof the Burma empire, in times of drought, are wont to assemble in great\nnumbers, with drums and a long cable. ",
"Dividing themselves into two\nparties, with a vast shouting and noise, they drag the cable contrary\nways, the one party endeavouring to get the better of the other: and they\nthink, by this means, to invite the _Nat_ to come out from their houses,\nand to sport in the air. ",
"The thunder and lightning, which frequently\nprecede rain, are the clashing and shining of the arms of these _Nat_, who\nsometimes sport in mock battles.",
"\"(437) Apparently, therefore, in the tug\nof war, practised as a rain-charm, the one party represent the spirits who\nhave to be dragged reluctantly from their houses in order to make rain in\nthe sky. ",
"Similarly in the Timor-laut Islands, when the people want a rainy\nwind from the west, the population of the village, men, women, and\nchildren divide into two parties and pull against each other at the end of\na long bamboo. ",
"But the party at the eastern end must pull the harder, in\norder to draw the desired wind out of the west.(438) We can now perhaps\nunderstand why among the Khasis the victory of the eastern side in the tug\nof war is thought to prognosticate good luck and prosperity, and why the\nvictory of the western side is believed to portend the contrary; the\ndistinction is at once intelligible when we remember that in the country\nof the Khasis the rainy wind is the monsoon which blows from the\nsouth-west, whereas the wind which blows from the south-east is hot and\ndry.(439) Thus a victory of the eastern party in the tug of war means that\nthey have drawn rain and consequently fertility into the country from the\nwest; whereas a victory of the western party signifies that they have\ndragged drought and consequently dearth into the country from the east.",
"\n\n(M133) However, a somewhat different turn is given to the ceremony of\nrope-pulling in the East Indies by another writer, who informs us, that\nwhile the contest only takes place in some of these islands when rain is\nwanted, it is closely connected with those licentious rites performed for\nthe fertilization of the ground which have been described in another part\nof this work.(440) According to this account the men and women appear to\ntake opposite sides in the tug of war, and in pulling against each other\nthey imitate by their movements the union of the sexes.(441) If that is\nso, it would seem that the rite is a magical ceremony designed to promote\nthe fertility of the ground by means of homoeopathic or imitative magic.",
"\nThe same may perhaps be the intention of the tug of war as it is practised\nfor the benefit of the crops by some of the Naga tribes of Assam, and this\nis the more likely because in the case of these tribes we are definitely\ntold that the sexes take opposite sides, the women and girls tugging\nagainst the men and boys. ",
"This is done by the Tangkhuls of Assam a month\nafter the rice has been sown; the ceremony is performed \"in order to take\nthe omens for the future of the crops,\" and it \"is followed by\nconsiderable license.\" ",
"The tug of war between the sexes with its attendant\nlicense is repeated before the first-fruits are cut by the sacred\nheadman.(442) In Corea about the fifteenth day of the first month villages\nengage in the same kind of contest with each other, and it is thought that\nthe village which wins will have a good harvest. ",
"The rope which they pull\nis made of straw, two feet in diameter, with its ends divided into\nbranches. ",
"The men lay hold of the main stem, while the women grasp the\nbranches, and they often tug harder than the men, for they load their\nskirts with stones, which adds weight to the force of their muscles.(443)\nIn Kamtchatka, when the fishing season is over, the people used to divide\ninto two parties, one of which tried to pull a birch-tree by a strap\nthrough the smoke-hole into their subterranean winter dwelling, while the\nother party outside, pulling at the end of the tree, endeavoured to hinder\nthem. ",
"If the party in the house succeeded, they raised shouts of joy and\nset up a grass effigy of a wolf, which they preserved carefully throughout\nthe year, believing that it espoused their young women and prevented them\nfrom giving birth to twins. ",
"For they deem the birth of twins a dreadful\nmisfortune and a horrible sin; they put it down to the wolf in the forest,\nand all who chance to be in the house at the time shew a clean pair of\nheels, leaving the mother and her infants to shift for themselves. ",
"Should\nthe twins be both girls, the calamity is even greater.(444) In the village\nof Doreh, in Dutch New Guinea, when some of the inhabitants have gone on a\nlong journey, the people who stay at home engage in a Tug of War among\nthemselves to determine whether the journey will be prosperous or not. ",
"One\nside represents the voyagers and the other side those who are left behind.",
"\nThey pull at opposite ends of a long bamboo, and if the bamboo breaks or\nthe side which represents the people at home is obliged to let go, the\nomen is favourable.(445)\n\n(M134) In Morocco, also, the Tug of War is resorted to as a means of\ninfluencing the weather, sometimes in order to procure rain and sometimes\nto procure sunshine; and here men and women appear usually to take\nopposite sides in the contest. ",
"For example, among the Igliwa, a Berber\npeople of the Great Atlas, when rain is wanted, they take a rope and the\nmen pull at one end and women at the other. ",
"While they are tugging away, a\nman suddenly cuts the rope and the women fall down. ",
"The same device for\nprocuring rain in time of drought is practised by the Ait Warain, another\nBerber tribe of Morocco; but among them in the heat of the contest the\nwomen as well as the men will sometimes let go the rope and allow the\nopposite party to fall on their backs. ",
"However, the Tsul, another Berber\ntribe of Morocco, employ the Tug of War for the opposite purpose of\nensuring a supply of sunshine and heat in autumn, when they wish to dry\ntheir figs and grapes; the contest takes place at night by the light of\nthe moon.(446) The apparent contradiction of employing the same procedure\nfor opposite purposes vanishes if we suppose that, as the Assamese custom\nseems to indicate, the intention is to draw either a rainy or a dry wind\nout of the quarters from which the breezes that bring rain or sunshine\nusually blow, and which will usually be on opposite sides of the sky.",
"\nHence in order fully to understand the Tug of War, when it is practised\nfor the purpose of influencing the weather, we should know, first, the\ndirections from which the rainy and the dry winds respectively come in the\ncountry under consideration, and second, the direction in which the rope\nis stretched between the contending parties. ",
"If, for example, as happens\nin Assam, the rainy wind blows from the west, and a victory of the eastern\nparty in the Tug of War is an omen of prosperity, we may conclude with a\nfair degree of probability that the intention of the contest is to draw\nthe rain from the quarter of the sky in which it is lingering. ",
"But these\nniceties of observation have usually escaped the attention of those who\nhave described the Tug of War.",
"\n\n(M135) In various parts of Morocco games of ball are played for the sake\nnow of procuring rain and now of procuring dry weather; the ball is\nsometimes propelled with sticks and sometimes with the feet of the\ncompetitors. ",
"An Arab questioned as to why a game of ball should bring on\nrain explained that the ball is dark like a rain-cloud.(447) Perhaps the\nanswer furnishes the clue to the meaning of the rite. ",
"If in such games\nplayed to influence the weather the ball represents a rain-cloud, the\nsuccess or failure of the charm will depend on which side contrives to get\nthe ball home in the enemy's quarters. ",
"For example, if rain is desired and\nthe rainy wind blows in Morocco, as may perhaps be assumed, from the west,\nthen should the western side succeed in driving the ball through the\neastern goal, there will be rain; but if the eastern party wins, then the\nrain is driven away and the drought will continue. ",
"Thus a game of ball\nwould in theory and practice answer exactly to the Tug of War practised\nfor the same purposes.",
"\n\n(M136) In Morocco, however, the Tug of War is apparently used also for the\npurpose of ensuring prosperity in general without any special reference to\nthe weather. ",
"Dr. Westermarck was informed by an old Arab from the Hiaina\nthat the Tug of War \"is no longer practised at the Great Feast, as it was\nin his childhood, but that it is performed in the autumn when the\nthreshing is going on and the fruits are ripe. ",
"Then men and women have a\ntug of war by moonlight so that the _baes_, or evil, shall go away, that\nthe year shall be good, and that the people shall live in peace. ",
"Some man\nsecretly cuts two of the three cords of which the rope is made, with the\nresult that both parties tumble down.",
"\"(448) In this contest one party\nperhaps represents the powers of good and the other the powers of evil in\ngeneral. ",
"But why in these Moroccan cases of the Tug of War the rope should\nbe so often cut and one or both sides laid on their backs, is not\nmanifest. ",
"Perhaps the simple device of suddenly slacking the rope in order\nto make the opposite side lose their footing, and so to haul the rope away\nfrom them before they can recover themselves, may have led to the more\ntrenchant measure of cutting it with a knife for the same purpose.",
"\n\n(M137) These examples make it probable that wherever the Tug of War is\nplayed only at certain definite seasons or on certain particular\noccasions, it was originally performed, not as a mere pastime, but as a\nmagical ceremony designed to work some good for the community. ",
"Further, we\nmay surmise that in many cases the two contending parties represent\nrespectively the powers of good and evil struggling against each other for\nthe mastery, and as the community has always an interest in the prevalence\nof the powers of good, it may well happen that the powers of evil do not\nalways get fair play in these conflicts; though no doubt when it comes to\nbe \"pull devil, pull baker,\" the devil is apt, in the spirit of a true\nsportsman, to tug with as hearty good will as his far more deserving\nadversary the baker. ",
"To take cases in which the game is played without any\nalleged practical motive, the Roocooyen Indians of French Guiana engage in\nthe Tug of War as a sort of interlude during the ceremonial tortures of\nthe youth.(449) Among the Cingalese the game \"is connected with the\nsuperstitious worship of the goddess Patine; and is more intended for a\npropitiation to that deity, than considered as an indulgence, or pursued\nas an exercise. ",
"Two opposite parties procure two sticks of the strongest\nand toughest wood, and so crooked as to hook into one another without\nslipping; they then attach strong cords or cable-rattans of sufficient\nlength to allow of every one laying hold of them. ",
"The contending parties\nthen pull until one of the sticks gives way.\" ",
"The victorious piece of wood\nis gaily decorated, placed in a palanquin, and borne through the village\namid noisy rejoicings, often accompanied with coarse and obscene\nexpressions.(450) The use of foul language on this occasion suggests that\nthe ceremony is here, as elsewhere, observed for the purpose of ensuring\nfertility. ",
"In the North-Western provinces of India the game is played on\nthe fourteenth day of the light half of the month Kuar. ",
"The rope (_barra_)\nis made of the grass called _makra_, and is thicker than a man's arm. ",
"The\nvarious quarters of a village pull against each other, and the one which\nis victorious keeps possession of the rope during the ensuing year. ",
"It is\nchiefly in the east of these provinces that the game is played; in the\nwest it is unknown.(451) Sometimes the contest is between the inhabitants\nof neighbouring villages, and the rope is stretched across the boundary;\nplenty is supposed to attend the victorious side.(452) At the Great Feast,\na yearly sacrificial festival of the Mohammedan world, some tribes in\nMorocco practise a Tug of War. ",
"Thus among the Ait Sadden it is observed on\nthe first day of the festival before the sacrifice; among the Ait Yusi it\nis performed either before the religious service or in the afternoon of\nthe same day, and also in the morning of the Little Feast. ",
"Both sexes\ngenerally take part in the contest, the men tugging at one end of the rope\nand the women at the other, and sometimes the weaker party applies for\nhelp to persons of the same sex in a neighbouring village. ",
"When they are\nall hard at it, the men may suddenly let go the rope and so send the women\nsprawling on their backs.(453)\n\n(M138) At Ludlow in Shropshire a grand Tug of War used to take place on\nShrove Tuesday between the inhabitants of Broad Street Ward on the one\nside and of Corve Street Ward on the other. ",
"The rope was three inches\nthick and thirty-six yards long, with a red knob at one end and a blue\nknob at the other. ",
"The rope was paid out by the Mayor in person from a\nwindow in the Market Hall at four o'clock in the afternoon. ",
"The shops then\nput up their shutters, and the population engaged in the struggle with\nenthusiasm, gentle and simple, lawyers and parsons bearing a hand on one\nside or the other, till their clothes were torn to tatters on their backs.",
"\nThe injured were carried into the neighbouring houses, where their hurts\nwere attended to. ",
"If the party of the Red Knob won, they carried the rope\nin triumph to the River Leme and dipped it in the water. ",
"Finally, the rope\nwas sold, the money which it brought in was devoted to the purchase of\nbeer, and drinking, squabbling, and fighting ended the happy day. ",
"This\nancient and highly popular pastime was suppressed in 1851 on the frivolous\npretext that it gave rise to disorderly scenes and dangerous\naccidents.(454) A similar custom has long been observed on Shrove Tuesday\nat Presteign in Radnorshire. ",
"The rope is pulled by two parties\nrepresenting the upper and the lower portions of the town, who strive to\ndrag it either to a point in the west wall or to another point in Broad\nStreet, where the River Lugg is reached.(455) In the Bocage of Normandy\nmost desperate struggles used to take place between neighbouring parishes\non Shrove Tuesday for the possession of a large leathern ball stuffed with\nbran and called a _soule_. ",
"The ball was launched on the village green and\ncontended for by representatives of different parishes, who sometimes\nnumbered seven or eight hundred, while five or six thousand people might\nassemble to witness the combat; for indeed it was a fight rather than a\ngame. ",
"The conflict was maintained with the utmost fury; old scores were\npaid off between personal enemies; there were always many wounded, and\nsometimes there were deaths. ",
"The aim of each side was to drive the ball\nover a stream and to lodge it in a house of their own parish. ",
"It was\nthought that the parish which was victorious in the struggle would have a\nbetter crop of apples that year than its neighbours. ",
"At Lande-Patry the\nball was provided by the bride who had been last married, and she had the\nhonour of throwing it into the arena. ",
"The scene of the fiercest battles\nwas St. Pierre d'Entremont, on the highroad between Conde and Tinchebray.",
"\nAfter several unsuccessful attempts the custom was suppressed at that\nvillage in 1852 with the help of four or five brigades of police. ",
"It is\nnow everywhere extinct.(456) The belief that the parish which succeeded in\ncarrying the ball home would have a better crop of apples that year raises\na presumption that these conflicts were originally practised as magical\nrites to ensure fertility. ",
"The local custom of Lande-Patry, which required\nthat the ball should be provided and thrown by the last bride,(457) points\nin the same direction. ",
"It is possible that the popular English, or rather\nScotch, game of football had a similar origin: the winning side may have\nimagined that they secured good crops, good weather, or other substantial\nadvantages to their village or ward.",
"\n\n(M139) In like manner, wherever a sham or a real conflict takes place\nbetween two parties annually, above all at the New Year, we may suspect\nthat the old intention was to ensure prosperity in some form for the\npeople throughout the following year, whether by obtaining possession of a\nmaterial object in which the luck of the year was supposed to be embodied,\nor by defeating and driving away a band of men who personated the powers\nof evil. ",
"For example, among the Tenggerese of eastern Java the New Year\nfestival regularly includes a sham fight fought between two bands of men,\nwho are armed with spears and swords and advance against each other again\nand again at a dancing step, thrusting at their adversaries with their\nspears, but always taking care to miss their aim.(458) Again, in Ferghana,\na province of Turkestan, it is or used to be customary on the first day of\nthe year for the king and chiefs to divide into two parties, each of which\nchose a champion. ",
"Then the two champions, clad in armour, engaged in a\ncombat with each other, while the crowd joined in with bricks and stones.",
"\nWhen one of them was slain the scrimmage stopped, and omens were drawn as\nto whether the year on which they had entered would be prosperous or the\nreverse.(459) In these combats it seems probable that one side represents\nthe demons or other powers of evil whom the people hope to vanquish and\nexpel at the beginning of the New Year.",
"\n\nOftener, however, the expelled demons are not represented at all, but are\nunderstood to be present invisibly in the material and visible vehicle\nwhich conveys them away. ",
"Here, again, it will be convenient to distinguish\nbetween occasional and periodical expulsions. ",
"We begin with the former.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 2. ",
"The Occasional Expulsion of Evils in a Material Vehicle.",
"\n\n\n(M140) The vehicle which conveys away the demons may be of various kinds.",
"\nA common one is a little ship or boat. ",
"Thus, in the southern district of\nthe island of Ceram, when a whole village suffers from sickness, a small\nship is made and filled with rice, tobacco, eggs, and so forth, which have\nbeen contributed by all the people. ",
"A little sail is hoisted on the ship.",
"\nWhen all is ready, a man calls out in a very loud voice, \"O all ye\nsicknesses, ye smallpoxes, agues, measles, etc., ",
"who have visited us so\nlong and wasted us so sorely, but who now cease to plague us, we have made\nready this ship for you and we have furnished you with provender\nsufficient for the voyage. ",
"Ye shall have no lack of food nor of\nbetel-leaves nor of areca nuts nor of tobacco. ",
"Depart, and sail away from\nus directly; never come near us again; but go to a land which is far from\nhere. ",
"Let all the tides and winds waft you speedily thither, and so convey\nyou thither that for the time to come we may live sound and well, and that\nwe may never see the sun rise on you again.\" ",
"Then ten or twelve men carry\nthe vessel to the shore, and let it drift away with the land-breeze,\nfeeling convinced that they are free from sickness for ever, or at least\ntill the next time. ",
"If sickness attacks them again, they are sure it is\nnot the same sickness, but a different one, which in due time they dismiss\nin the same manner. ",
"When the demon-laden bark is lost to sight, the\nbearers return to the village, whereupon a man cries out, \"The sicknesses\nare now gone, vanished, expelled, and sailed away.\" ",
"At this all the people\ncome running out of their houses, passing the word from one to the other\nwith great joy, beating on gongs and on tinkling instruments.(460)\n\n(M141) Similar ceremonies are commonly resorted to in other East Indian\nislands. ",
"Thus in Timor-laut, to mislead the demons who are causing\nsickness, a small proa, containing the image of a man and provisioned for\na long voyage, is allowed to drift away with wind and tide. ",
"As it is being\nlaunched, the people cry, \"O sickness, go from here; turn back; what do\nyou here in this poor land?\" ",
"Three days after this ceremony a pig is\nkilled, and part of the flesh is offered to Dudilaa, who lives in the sun.",
"\nOne of the oldest men says, \"Old sir, I beseech you make well the\ngrandchildren, children, women, and men, that we may be able to eat pork\nand rice and to drink palm-wine. ",
"I will keep my promise. ",
"Eat your share,\nand make all the people in the village well.\" ",
"If the proa is stranded at\nany inhabited spot, the sickness will break out there. ",
"Hence a stranded\nproa excites much alarm amongst the coast population, and they immediately\nburn it, because demons fly from fire.(461) In the island of Buru the proa\nwhich carries away the demons of disease is about twenty feet long, rigged\nout with sails, oars, anchor, and so on, and well stocked with provisions.",
"\nFor a day and a night the people beat gongs and drums, and rush about to\nfrighten the demons. ",
"Next morning ten stalwart young men strike the people\nwith branches, which have been previously dipped in an earthen pot of\nwater. ",
"As soon as they have done so, they run down to the beach, put the\nbranches on board the proa, launch another boat in great haste, and tow\nthe disease-burdened bark far out to sea. ",
"There they cast it off, and one\nof them calls out, \"Grandfather Smallpox, go away--go willingly away--go\nvisit another land; we have made you food ready for the voyage, we have\nnow nothing more to give.\" ",
"When they have landed, all the people bathe\ntogether in the sea.(462) In this ceremony the reason for striking the\npeople with the branches is clearly to rid them of the disease-demons,\nwhich are then supposed to be transferred to the branches. ",
"Hence the haste\nwith which the branches are deposited in the proa and towed away to sea.",
"\nSo in the inland districts of Ceram, when smallpox or other sickness is\nraging, the priest strikes all the houses with consecrated branches, which\nare then thrown into the river, to be carried down to the sea;(463)\nexactly as amongst the Wotyaks of Russia the sticks which have been used\nfor expelling the devils from the village are thrown into the river, that\nthe current may sweep the baleful burden away.(464) In Amboyna, for a\nsimilar purpose, the whole body of the patient is rubbed with a live white\ncock, which is then placed on a little proa and committed to the\nwaves;(465) and in the Babar archipelago the bark which is to carry away\nto sea the sickness of a whole village contains a bowl of ashes taken from\nevery kitchen in the village, and another bowl into which all the sick\npeople have spat.(466) The plan of putting puppets in the boat to\nrepresent sick persons, in order to lure the demons after them, is not\nuncommon.(467) For example, most of the pagan tribes on the coast of\nBorneo seek to drive away epidemic disease as follows. ",
"They carve one or\nmore rough human images from the pith of the sago palm and place them on a\nsmall raft or boat or full-rigged Malay ship together with rice and other\nfood. ",
"The boat is decked with blossoms of the areca palm and with ribbons\nmade from its leaves, and thus adorned the little craft is allowed to\nfloat out to sea with the ebb-tide, bearing, as the people fondly think or\nhope, the sickness away with it.(468)\n\n(M142) In Selangor, one of the native states in the Malay Peninsula, the\nship employed in the export of disease is, or used to be, a model of a\nspecial kind of Malay craft called a _lanchang_. ",
"This was a two-masted\nvessel with galleries fore and aft, armed with cannon, and used by Malay\nrajahs on the coast of Sumatra. ",
"So gallant a ship would be highly\nacceptable to the spirits, and to make it still more beautiful in their\neyes it was not uncommonly stained yellow with turmeric or saffron, for\namong the Malays yellow is the royal colour. ",
"Some years ago a very fine\nmodel of a _lanchang_, with its cargo of sickness, was towed down the\nriver to sea by the Government steam launch. ",
"A common spell uttered at the\nlaunching of one of these ships runs as follows:--\n\n\n \"_Ho, elders of the upper reaches,_\n _Elders of the lower reaches,_\n _Elders of the dry land_,\n _Elders of the river-flats,_\n _Assemble ye, O people, lords of hill and hill-foot,_\n _Lords of cavern and hill-locked basin,_\n _Lords of the deep primeval forest,_\n _Lords of the river-bends,_\n _Come on board this_ lanchang, _assembling in your multitudes._",
"\n _So may ye depart with the ebbing stream,_\n _Depart on the passing breeze,_\n _Depart in the yawning earth,_\n _Depart in the red-dyed earth._",
"\n _Go ye to the ocean which has no wave,_\n _And the plain where no green herb grows,_\n _And never return hither._",
"\n _But if ye return hither,_\n _Ye shall be consumed by the curse._",
"\n _At sea ye shall get no drink,_\n _Ashore ye shall get no food,_\n _But gape in vain about the world_.\"(469)\n\n\n(M143) The practice of sending away diseases in boats is known outside the\nlimits of the Malay region. ",
"Thus when smallpox raged among the Yabim of\nGerman New Guinea, they used to make a little model of a canoe with mast,\nsail, and rudder. ",
"Then they said to the small vessel, on which the spirit\nof smallpox was supposed to have taken his passage, \"Bear him away to\nanother village. ",
"When the people come forth to draw you ashore, give them\n'the thing' and do to them what you have done to us.\" ",
"Lest the spirit\nshould be hungry on the voyage, they put some taro on board, and to make\nsure of getting rid of the disease, they wiped their hands on the tiny\ncanoe, after which they let it drift away. ",
"It often happened that the wind\nor tide drove the vessel back to the place from which it started. ",
"Then\nthere would be a deafening rub-a-dub of drums and blowing of\nshell-trumpets; and the little ship, or rather its invisible passenger,\nwould be again apostrophized, \"Do go away, you have already raged among us\nso that the air is poisoned with the stench of corpses.\" ",
"If this time it\nsailed away, they would stand on the shore and watch it with glad hearts\ndisappearing; then they would climb the trees to get a last glimpse of it\ntill it vanished in the distance. ",
"After that they came down joyfully and\nsaid to each other, \"We have had enough of it. ",
"The sickness has happily\ngone away.",
"\"(470) When the Tagbanuas and other tribes of the Philippines\nsuffered from epidemics, they used to make little models of ships, supply\nthem with rice and fresh drinking water, and launch them on the sea, in\norder that the evil spirits might sail away in them.(471) When the people\nof Tikopia, a small island in the Pacific, to the north of the New\nHebrides, were attacked by an epidemic cough, they made a little canoe and\nadorned it with flowers. ",
"Four sons of the principal chiefs carried it on\ntheir shoulders all round the island, accompanied by the whole population,\nsome of whom beat the bushes, while others uttered loud cries. ",
"On\nreturning to the spot from which they had set out, they launched the canoe\non the sea.(472) In the Nicobar Islands, in the Bay of Bengal, when there\nis much sickness in a village or no fish are caught, the blame is laid\nupon the spirits. ",
"They must be propitiated with offerings. ",
"All relations\nand friends are invited, a huge pig is roasted, and the best of it is\neaten, but some parts are offered to the shades. ",
"The heap of offerings\nremains in front of the house till it is carried away by the rising tide.",
"\nThen the priests, their faces reddened with paint and swine's blood,\npretend to catch the demon of disease, and after a hand-to-hand tussle,\nforce him into a model boat, made of leaves and decked with garlands,\nwhich is then towed so far to sea that neither wind nor tide is likely to\ndrive it back to the shore.(473) In Annam, when the population of a\nvillage has been decimated by cholera, they make a raft and lade it with\nofferings of money and food, such as a sucking pig, bananas, and oranges.",
"\nSticks of incense also smoke on the floating altar; and when all is ready\nand earnest prayers have been uttered, the raft is abandoned to the\ncurrent of the river. ",
"The people hope that the demon of cholera, allured\nand gratified by these offerings, will float away on the raft and trouble\nthem no more.(474)\n\n(M144) Often the vehicle which carries away the collected demons or ills\nof a whole community is an animal or scapegoat. ",
"In the Central Provinces\nof India, when cholera breaks out in a village, every one retires after\nsunset to his house. ",
"The priests then parade the streets, taking from the\nroof of each house a straw, which is burnt with an offering of rice, ghee,\nand turmeric, at some shrine to the east of the village. ",
"Chickens daubed\nwith vermilion are driven away in the direction of the smoke, and are\nbelieved to carry the disease with them. ",
"If they fail, goats are tried,\nand last of all pigs.(475) When cholera rages among the Bhars, Malians,\nand Kurmis of India, they take a goat or a buffalo--in either case the\nanimal must be a female, and as black as possible--then having tied some\ngrain, cloves, and red lead in a yellow cloth on its back they turn it out\nof the village. ",
"The animal is conducted beyond the boundary and not\nallowed to return.(476) Sometimes the buffalo is marked with a red pigment\nand driven to the next village, where he carries the plague with him.(477)\nThe people of the city and cantonments of Sagar being afflicted with a\nviolent influenza, General Sir William Sleeman received a request from the\nold Queen Dowager of Sagar \"to allow of a noisy religious procession for\nthe purpose of imploring deliverance from this great calamity. ",
"Men, women,\nand children in this procession were to do their utmost to add to the\nnoise by 'raising their voices in psalmody,' beating upon their brass pots\nand pans with all their might, and discharging firearms where they could\nget them; and before the noisy crowd was to be driven a buffalo, which had\nbeen purchased by general subscription, in order that every family might\nparticipate in the merit. ",
"They were to follow it out for eight miles,\nwhere it was to be turned loose for any man who would take it. ",
"If the\nanimal returned, the disease, it was said, must return with it, and the\nceremony be performed over again.... It was, however, subsequently\ndetermined that the animal should be a goat, and he was driven before the\ncrowd accordingly. ",
"I have on several occasions been requested to allow of\nsuch noisy _pujas_ in cases of epidemics.",
"\"(478) Once, when influenza was\nraging in Pithoria, a village to the north-west of Sagar, a man had a\nsmall carriage made, after a plan of his own, for a pair of scapegoats,\nwhich were harnessed to it and driven to a wood at some distance, where\nthey were let loose. ",
"From that hour the disease entirely ceased in the\ntown. ",
"The goats never returned; had they done so, it was affirmed that the\ndisease must have come back with them.(479)\n\n(M145) The use of a scapegoat is not uncommon in the hills of the Eastern\nGhats. ",
"In 1886, during a severe outbreak of smallpox, the people of Jepur\ndid reverence to a goat, marched it to the Ghats, and let it loose on the\nplains.(480) In Southern Konkan, on the appearance of cholera, the\nvillagers went in procession from the temple to the extreme boundaries of\nthe village, carrying a basket of cooked rice covered with red powder, a\nwooden doll representing the pestilence, and a cock. ",
"The head of the cock\nwas cut off at the village boundary, and the body was thrown away. ",
"When\ncholera had thus been transferred from one village to another, the second\nvillage observed the same ceremony and passed on the scourge to its\nneighbours, and so on through a number of villages.(481) Among the Korwas\nof Mirzapur, when cholera has broken out, the priest offers a black cock\nor, if the disease is very malignant, a black goat, at the shrine of the\nlocal deity, and then drives the animal away in the direction of some\nother village. ",
"But it has not gone far before he overtakes it, kills it,\nand eats it; which he may do with perfect safety in virtue of his sacred\noffice. ",
"Again, when cholera is raging among the Pataris, an aboriginal\nDravidian race of South Mirzapur, the wizard and the village elders feed a\nblack cock with grain and drive it beyond the boundaries, ordering the\nfowl to take the disease away with it. ",
"A little oil, red lead, and a\nspangle worn by a woman on her forehead are usually fastened to the bird's\nhead before it is let loose. ",
"The cost of purchasing the cock is defrayed\nby public subscription. ",
"When such a bird of ill-omen appears in a village,\nthe priest takes it to the shrine of the local deity and sacrifices it\nthere; but sometimes he merely bows before it at the shrine and passes it\non to some other village. ",
"If a murrain attacks their cattle, the Kharwars\nof Northern India take a black cock and put red lead on its head, antimony\non its eyes, a spangle on its forehead, and a pewter bangle on its leg;\nthus arrayed they let it loose, calling out to the disease, \"Mount on the\nfowl and go elsewhere into the ravines and thickets; destroy the sin.\"",
"\nPerhaps, as has been suggested, this tricking out of the bird with women's\nornaments may be a relic of some grosser form of expiation in which a\nhuman being was sacrificed or banished.(482) Charms of this sort in India\nno doubt date from a remote antiquity. ",
"An ancient Indian book of magic,\nknown as the _Kausika Sutra_, describes a ceremony of letting loose\nagainst a hostile army a white-footed ewe in which the power of disease\nwas believed to be incarnate.(483) In the same treatise we read of a mode\nof getting rid of ill-luck by fastening a hook to the left leg of a crow,\nattaching a sacrificial cake to the hook, and then letting the bird fly\naway in a south-westerly direction, while the priest or magician recites\nas usual the appropriate formula.(484)\n\n(M146) Amongst the Dinkas, a pastoral people of the White Nile, each\nfamily possesses a sacred cow. ",
"When the country is threatened with war,\nfamine, or any other public calamity, the chiefs of the village require a\nparticular family to surrender their sacred cow to serve as a scapegoat.",
"\nThe animal is driven by the women to the brink of the river and across it\nto the other bank, there to wander in the wilderness and fall a prey to\nravening beasts. ",
"Then the women return in silence and without looking\nbehind them; were they to cast a backward glance, they imagine that the\nceremony would have no effect.(485) When influenza broke out in a virulent\nform among the <DW64>s of Togoland during the winter of 1892, the natives\nset the trouble down to the machinations of evil spirits, who must be\nexpelled the country. ",
"The principal instrument of expulsion was a fat\ntoad, which was dragged through the streets of every town or village,\nfollowed by an elder who sprinkled holy water to right and left. ",
"All the\nevil was thus concentrated in the toad, which was finally thrown away into\nthe forest. ",
"Thus the natives expected to rid the village of the\ninfluenza.(486) In 1857, when the Aymara Indians of Bolivia and Peru were\nsuffering from a plague, they loaded a black llama with the clothes of the\nplague-stricken people, sprinkled brandy on the clothes, and then turned\nthe animal loose on the mountains, hoping that it would carry the pest\naway with it.(487)\n\n(M147) In some parts of India a principal means of expelling an epidemic\nis a little toy chariot called a _ratha_ or _rath_, in which the goddess\nof the disease is supposed to be carted away. ",
"It is carried or drawn in\nprocession to the next village, the inhabitants of which pass it on in\nlike manner, with great alacrity, to their neighbours. ",
"Thus the goddess\nand the plague are transferred from village to village, until at last they\ncome to one which is so far away from its next neighbour that the people\ndo not care to undertake the long weary journey. ",
"In that case they content\nthemselves with conveying the chariot to a place so shut in by hills that\nthe disease cannot possibly escape, and there they leave it to die. ",
"Or if\nthe village is near the sea, they drown the sickness by throwing the\nchariot into the water. ",
"However, in Central India the real home of the\ngoddess of cholera is at Unkareshwar; and accordingly the chariot in which\nshe is politely escorted out of a village is finally deposited at or near\nthat place. ",
"It is usual and proper for the people of a village to give a\nfriendly notice to their neighbours that they are going to cart the\ncholera, smallpox, or whatever it may be, to their village, so that the\ninhabitants may be ready to receive the goddess with due honour and to\nescort her on her progress. ",
"But some unneighbourly folk, without giving\nnotice, go by night and stealthily deposit the chariot on the outskirts of\nthe next village. ",
"If the inhabitants are not on the watch, and suffer the\nfatal little vehicle to remain there, the disease will naturally cleave to\nthem. ",
"Sometimes, perhaps generally, the procession with the chariot is\naccompanied by a goat, a cock, and a pot of native beer or wine, which\nserve as additional attractions to the goddess to set out on her\ntravels.(488)\n\n(M148) Occasionally the scapegoat is a man. ",
"For example, from time to time\nthe gods used to warn the King of Uganda that his foes the Banyoro were\nworking magic against him and his people to make them die of disease. ",
"To\navert such a catastrophe the king would send a scapegoat to the frontier\nof Bunyoro, the land of the enemy. ",
"The scapegoat consisted of either a man\nand a boy or a woman and her child, chosen because of some mark or bodily\ndefect, which the gods had noted and by which the victims were to be\nrecognized. ",
"With the human victims were sent a cow, a goat, a fowl, and a\ndog; and a strong guard escorted them to the land which the god had\nindicated. ",
"There the limbs of the victims were broken and they were left\nto die a lingering death in the enemy's country, being too crippled to\ncrawl back to Uganda. ",
"The disease or plague was thought to have been thus\ntransferred to the victims and to have been conveyed back in their persons\nto the land from which it came. ",
"So, too, after a war the gods sometimes\nadvised the king to send back a scapegoat in order to free the warriors\nfrom some evil that had attached itself to the army. ",
"One of the women\nslaves, a cow, a goat, a fowl, and a dog would be chosen from among the\ncaptives and sent back to the borders of the country whence they had come;\nthere they were maimed and left to die. ",
"After that the army would be\npronounced clean and allowed to return to the capital. ",
"In each case a\nbundle of herbs would be rubbed over the people and the cattle, and would\nthen be tied to the victims, who would thus carry back the evil with\nthem.(489) A similar use of scapegoats, human and animal, was regularly\nmade after a King of Uganda had been crowned. ",
"Two men were brought to the\nking; one of them he wounded slightly with an arrow shot from a bow. ",
"The\nman was then sent away, under a strong guard, as a scapegoat to Bunyoro,\nthe enemy's country, and with him were sent a cow, a goat, and a dog. ",
"On\nhis sad journey he took with him the dust and ashes of the sacred fire,\nwhich had burned day and night at the entrance to the late king's\nenclosure and had been extinguished, as usual, at his death. ",
"Arrived at\ntheir destination, the man and the animals were maimed and left to die.",
"\nThey were believed to bear away with them any uncleanness that might\ncleave to the new King or Queen.(490)\n\n(M149) Some of the aboriginal tribes of China, as a protection against\npestilence, select a man of great muscular strength to act the part of\nscapegoat. ",
"Having besmeared his face with paint, he performs many antics\nwith the view of enticing all pestilential and noxious influences to\nattach themselves to him only. ",
"He is assisted by a priest. ",
"Finally the\nscapegoat, hotly pursued by men and women beating gongs and tom-toms, is\ndriven with great haste out of the town or village.(491) In the Punjaub a\ncure for the murrain is to hire a man of the Chamar caste, turn his face\naway from the village, brand him with a red-hot sickle, and let him go out\ninto the jungle taking the murrain with him. ",
"He must not look back.(492)\nWhen disease breaks out among a herd, the Oraons take the herdsman\nhimself, tie a wooden bell from one of the cows round his neck, beat him\nwith sticks, and drive him out of the village to a cross-road, where the\nbell and sticks are deposited.(493) In the territory of Kumaon, lying on\nthe southern <DW72>s of the Western Himalayas, the custom of employing a\nhuman scapegoat appears to have taken a somewhat peculiar form in the\nceremony known as Barat. ",
"First of all a thick rope of grass is stretched\nfrom the top of a cliff to the valley beneath, where it is made fast to\nposts driven into the ground. ",
"Next a wooden saddle, with a very sharp\nridge and unpadded, is attached by thongs to the cable, along which it\nruns in a deep groove. ",
"A man now seats himself on the saddle and is\nstrapped to it, while sand-bags or heavy stones are suspended from his\nfeet to secure his balance. ",
"Then, after various ceremonies have been\nperformed and a kid sacrificed, he throws himself as far back in the\nsaddle as he can go, and is started off to slide down the rope into the\nvalley. ",
"Away he shoots at an ever-increasing speed; the saddle under him,\nhowever well greased, emits volumes of smoke during the greater part of\nhis progress; and he is nearly senseless when he reaches the bottom. ",
"Here\nmen are waiting to catch him and run forward with him some distance in\norder to break gradually the force of his descent. ",
"This ceremony, regarded\nas a propitiation of Mahadeva, is performed as a means of delivering a\ncommunity from present or impending calamity. ",
"Thus, for example, it was\nperformed when cholera was raging at Almora, and the people traced the\nimmunity they enjoyed to the due observance of the rite. ",
"Each district has\nits hereditary Badi, as the performer is called; he is supported by annual\ncontributions in grain from the inhabitants, as well as by special\npayments for each performance. ",
"When the ceremony is over, the grass rope\nis cut up and distributed among the villagers, who hang the pieces as\ncharms at the eaves of their houses; and they preserve the hair of the\nBadi for a similar purpose. ",
"Yet while his severed locks bring fertility to\nother people's lands, he entails sterility on his own; and it is firmly\nbelieved that no seed sown by his hand could ever sprout. ",
"Formerly the\nrule prevailed that, if a Badi had the misfortune to fall from the rope in\nthe course of his flying descent, he was immediately despatched with a\nsword by the spectators. ",
"The rule has naturally been abolished by the\nEnglish Government; but its former observance seems to indicate that the\ncustom of letting a man slide down a rope as a charm to avert calamity is\nonly a mitigation of an older custom of putting him to death.(494)\n\n(M150) A somewhat similar ceremony is annually performed at Lhasa a few\ndays after the beginning of the Tibetan New Year, which falls in spring.",
"\nThe scene of the performance is Potala Hill, on the summit and <DW72> of\nwhich is built the superb castle of the Grand Lama of Tibet, a massive and\nimposing pile of buildings which attracts the eye and dominates the\nlandscape from afar. ",
"On the day in question a rope of hide is stretched\nfrom the top to the bottom of the steep hill, and men from a distant\nprovince of Tibet climb up it with the agility of monkeys. ",
"They are called\nFlying Spirits. ",
"Arrived at the top, each of them places a piece of wood on\nhis breast, stretches out his hands and feet, and letting himself go\nshoots down the rope (in the words of a Chinese writer) \"like the bolt\nflying from the bow, or the swallow skimming the water. '",
"Tis a wondrous\nsight!\" ",
"Considering that these performers are called Spirits, and that the\nperformance takes place a few days after the New Year, a season so\ncommonly selected for the expulsion of demons, we may conjecture that the\nFlying Spirits represent the powers of evil who are thus shot out of the\nTibetan pope's palace at the beginning of the year.(495)\n\n\n\n\n§ 3. ",
"The Periodic Expulsion of Evils in a Material Vehicle.",
"\n\n\n(M151) In this last case the expulsion of evils, if I am right in so\ninterpreting the ceremony, is periodic, not occasional, being repeated\nevery spring at the beginning of a new year. ",
"It brings us accordingly to\nthe consideration of a whole class of such cases, for the mediate\nexpulsion of evils by means of a scapegoat or other material vehicle, like\nthe immediate expulsion of them in invisible form, tends to become\nperiodic, and for a like reason. ",
"Thus in Perak, a state on the west coast\nof the Malay Peninsula, it was in ancient times the custom to perform\nperiodically a ceremony intended to ensure the prosperity of the country\nby the propitiation of friendly spirits and the expulsion of evil\ninfluences. ",
"The writer who records the custom is uncertain as to the\nperiod which elapsed between two successive celebrations; he suggests with\nhesitation that the rite was performed once in seven years or once in a\nRajah's reign. ",
"The name of the ceremony was _pelas negri_, which means\n\"the cleansing of the country from evils.\" ",
"When the time came, the Rajah,\nthe chiefs, and a great following of people assembled at a point as far up\nthe river as possible, but short of the rapids which further up impede\nnavigation. ",
"There a number of rafts were prepared, some of them\nelaborately built with houses on them. ",
"Four of them were devoted to the\nfour great classes of spirits which are found in Perak, namely the _Hantu\nBlian_ or \"Tiger-spirits,\" the _Hantu Sungkei_, the _Hantu Malayu_, and\nthe _Jin Raja_. ",
"In each of these rafts a number of wizards (_pawangs_)\ntook up their post, according to the particular class of demon which they\naffected. ",
"The procession was headed by the raft devoted to the\nTiger-spirits; and in it was set up a _prah_ tree with all its branches,\nkept erect by stays. ",
"It was followed by the three rafts dedicated to the\nother three classes of spirits, and behind them came a train of other\nrafts bearing mere common mortals, the royal bandsmen, the Rajah himself,\nthe chiefs, and the people. ",
"As the long procession floated down the river\nwith the current, the wizards, standing on sheets of tin, waved white\ncloths and shouted invocations to the spirits and demons who inhabited the\ncountry through which the rafts were drifting seaward. ",
"The burden of the\ninvocations was to invite the spirits and demons to come aboard the rafts\nand partake of the food which had been considerately made ready for them.",
"\nAt every village on the bank large enough to possess a mosque (for the\nMalays of Perak are professing Mohammedans) the procession halted; a\nbuffalo, subscribed for by the inhabitants, was slaughtered, and its head\nplaced on one of the spirit-barks, while people feasted on the flesh. ",
"The\nceremony ended at Bras Basah, a village on the left bank of the Perak\nriver, not far from its mouth. ",
"There the rafts were abandoned to the\ncurrent, which swept them out to sea,(496) doubtless bearing with them the\nhapless demons who had been lured by the tempting viands to embark and\nwere now left to toss forlorn on the great deep at the mercy of the waves\nand the winds.",
"\n\n(M152) Again, every year, generally in March, the people of Leti, Moa, and\nLakor, islands of the Indian Archipelago, send away all their diseases to\nsea. ",
"They make a proa about six feet long, rig it with sails, oars,\nrudder, and other gear, and every family deposits in it some rice, fruit,\na fowl, two eggs, insects that ravage the fields, and so on. ",
"Then they let\nit drift away to sea, saying, \"Take away from here all kinds of sickness,\ntake them to other islands, to other lands, distribute them in places that\nlie eastward, where the sun rises.",
"\"(497) The Biajas of Borneo annually\nsend to sea a little bark laden with the sins and misfortunes of the\npeople. ",
"The crew of any ship that falls in with the ill-omened bark at sea\nwill suffer all the sorrows with which it is laden.(498) A like custom is\nannually observed by the Dusuns of the Tuaran district in British North\nBorneo. ",
"The ceremony is the most important of the whole year. ",
"Its aim is\nto bring good luck to the village during the ensuing year by solemnly\nexpelling all the evil spirits that may have collected in or about the\nhouses throughout the last twelve months. ",
"The task of routing out the\ndemons and banishing them devolves chiefly on women, who indeed play the\nprincipal part in all religious ceremonies among the Dusuns, while the\nhumble duty of beating drums and banging gongs is discharged by members of\nthe inferior sex. ",
"On this momentous occasion a procession of women, in\nfull ceremonial dress, goes from house to house, stopping at each to go\nthrough their performances. ",
"At the head of the procession marches a boy\ncarrying a spear on which is impaled a bundle of palm leaves containing\nrice. ",
"He is followed by two men, who carry a large gong and a drum slung\non a pole between them. ",
"Then come the women. ",
"One of them carries a small\nsucking pig in a basket on her back; and all of them bear wands, with\nwhich they belabour the little pig at the appropriate moment; its squeals\nhelp to attract the vagrant spirits. ",
"At every house the women dance and\nsing, clashing castanets or cymbals of brass and jingling bunches of\nlittle brass bells in both hands. ",
"When the performance has been repeated\nat every house in the village, the procession defiles down to the river\nand all the evil spirits, which the performers have chased from the\nhouses, follow them to the edge of the water. ",
"There a raft has been made\nready and moored to the bank. ",
"It contains offerings of food, cloth,\ncooking-pots, and swords; and the deck is crowded with figures of men,\nwomen, animals, and birds, all made out of the leaves of the sago palm.",
"\nThe evil spirits now embark on the raft, and when they are all aboard, it\nis pushed off and allowed to float down with the current, carrying the\ndemons with it. ",
"Should the raft run aground near the village, it is shoved\noff with all speed, lest the invisible passengers should seize the\nopportunity of landing and returning to the village. ",
"Finally, the\nsufferings of the little pig, whose squeals served to decoy the demons\nfrom their lurking-places, are terminated by death, for it is killed and\nits carcase thrown away.(499)\n\n(M153) Every year, at the beginning of the dry season, the Nicobar\nIslanders carry the model of a ship through their villages. ",
"The devils are\nchased out of the huts, and driven on board the little ship, which is then\nlaunched and suffered to sail away with the wind.(500) The ceremony has\nbeen described by a catechist, who witnessed it at Car Nicobar in July\n1897. ",
"For three days the people were busy preparing two very large\nfloating cars, shaped like canoes, fitted with sails, and loaded with\ncertain leaves, which possessed the valuable property of expelling devils.",
"\nWhile the young people were thus engaged, the exorcists and the elders sat\nin a house singing songs by turns; but often they would come forth, pace\nthe beach armed with rods, and forbid the devil to enter the village. ",
"The\nfourth day of the solemnity bore the name of _Into-nga-Siya_, which means\n\"Expelling the Devil by Sails.\" ",
"In the evening all the villagers\nassembled, the women bringing baskets of ashes and bunches of\ndevil-expelling leaves. ",
"These leaves were then distributed to everybody,\nold and young. ",
"When all was ready, a band of robust men, attended by a\nguard of exorcists, carried one of the cars down to the sea on the right\nside of the village graveyard, and set it floating in the water. ",
"As soon\nas they had returned, another band of men carried the other car to the\nbeach and floated it similarly in the sea to the left of the graveyard.",
"\nThe demon-laden barks being now launched, the women threw ashes from the\nshore, and the whole crowd shouted, saying, \"Fly away, devil, fly away,\nnever come again!\" ",
"The wind and the tide being favourable, the canoes\nsailed quickly away; and that night all the people feasted together with\ngreat joy, because the devil had departed in the direction of Chowra. ",
"A\nsimilar expulsion of devils takes place once a year in other Nicobar\nvillages; but the ceremonies are held at different times in different\nplaces.(501)\n\n(M154) At Sucla-Tirtha, in India, an earthen pot containing the\naccumulated sins of the people is (annually?) ",
"set adrift on the river.",
"\nLegend says that the custom originated with a wicked priest who, after\natoning for his guilt by a course of austerities and expiatory ceremonies,\nwas directed to sail upon the river in a boat with white sails. ",
"If the\nwhite sails turned black, it would be a sign that his sins were forgiven\nhim. ",
"They did so, and he joyfully allowed the boat to drift with his sins\nto sea.(502) Amongst many of the aboriginal tribes of China, a great\nfestival is celebrated in the third month of every year. ",
"It is held by way\nof a general rejoicing over what the people believe to be a total\nannihilation of the ills of the past twelve months. ",
"The destruction is\nsupposed to be effected in the following way. ",
"A large earthenware jar\nfilled with gunpowder, stones, and bits of iron is buried in the earth. ",
"A\ntrain of gunpowder, communicating with the jar, is then laid; and a match\nbeing applied, the jar and its contents are blown up. ",
"The stones and bits\nof iron represent the ills and disasters of the past year, and the\ndispersion of them by the explosion is believed to remove the ills and\ndisasters themselves. ",
"The festival is attended with much revelling and\ndrunkenness.(503) On New Year's Day people in Corea seek to rid themselves\nof all their distresses by painting images on paper, writing against them\ntheir troubles of body or mind, and afterwards giving the papers to a boy\nto burn. ",
"Another method of effecting the same object at the same season is\nto make rude dolls of straw, stuff them with a few copper coins, and throw\nthem into the street. ",
"Whoever picks up such an effigy gets all the\ntroubles and thereby relieves the original sufferer.(504) Again, on the\nfourteenth day of the first month the Coreans fly paper kites inscribed\nwith a wish that all the ills of the year may fly away with them.(505) Mr.\nGeorge Bogle, the English envoy sent to Tibet by Warren Hastings,\nwitnessed the celebration of the Tibetan New Year's Day at Teshu Lumbo,\nthe capital of the Teshu Lama. ",
"Monks walked in procession round the court\nto the music of cymbals, tabors, trumpets, hautboys and drums. ",
"Then\nothers, clad in masquerade dress and wearing masks which represented the\nheads of animals, mostly wild beasts, danced with antic motions. \"",
"After\nthis, the figure of a man, chalked upon paper, was laid upon the ground.",
"\nMany strange ceremonies, which to me who did not understand them appeared\nwhimsical, were performed about it; and a great fire being kindled in a\ncorner of the court, it was at length held over it, and being formed of\ncombustibles, vanished with much smoke and explosion. ",
"I was told it was a\nfigure of the devil.",
"\"(506) Another Tibetan mode of expelling demons from a\ndwelling is to make a paste image, into which the lamas by their\nincantations conjure all the evil spirits that may be lurking in the\nhouse. ",
"This image is carried to a distance by a runner and thrown away. ",
"He\nis attended by men, who shout at the top of their voices, brandish swords,\nand fire guns, all to frighten the demons and drive them far from human\nhabitations.(507)\n\n(M155) At Old Calabar on the coast of Guinea, the devils and ghosts are,\nor used to be, publicly expelled once in two years. ",
"Among the spirits thus\ndriven from their haunts are the souls of all the people who died since\nthe last lustration of the town. ",
"About three weeks or a month before the\nexpulsion, which according to one account takes place in the month of\nNovember, rude effigies representing men and animals, such as crocodiles,\nleopards, elephants, bullocks, and birds, are made of wicker-work or wood,\nand being hung with strips of cloth and bedizened with gew-gaws, are set\nbefore the door of every house. ",
"About three o'clock in the morning of the\nday appointed for the ceremony the whole population turns out into the\nstreets, and proceeds with a deafening uproar and in a state of the\nwildest excitement to drive all lurking devils and ghosts into the\neffigies, in order that they may be banished with them from the abodes of\nmen. ",
"For this purpose bands of people roam through the streets knocking on\ndoors, firing guns, beating drums, blowing on horns, ringing bells,\nclattering pots and pans, shouting and hallooing with might and main, in\nshort making all the noise it is possible for them to raise. ",
"The hubbub\ngoes on till the approach of dawn, when it gradually subsides and ceases\naltogether at sunrise. ",
"By this time the houses have been thoroughly swept,\nand all the frightened spirits are supposed to have huddled into the\neffigies or their fluttering drapery. ",
"In these wicker figures are also\ndeposited the sweepings of the houses and the ashes of yesterday's fires.",
"\nThen the demon-laden images are hastily snatched up, carried in tumultuous\nprocession down to the brink of the river, and thrown into the water to\nthe tuck of drums. ",
"The ebb-tide bears them away seaward, and thus the town\nis swept clean of ghosts and devils for another two years. ",
"This biennial\nexpulsion of spirits goes by the name of _Ndok_, and the effigies by which\nit is effected are called _Nabikem_ or _Nabikim_.(508)\n\n(M156) Further to the west similar ceremonies are or were till recently\nenacted at Porto Novo, the seaport of Dahomey. ",
"One of them has been\ndescribed by an eye-witness, a Catholic missionary, who interpreted the\nrites as a Funeral of Death. ",
"He says: \"Some time ago a curious event took\nplace: the King had commanded to celebrate the funeral of Death. ",
"Every\nyear, at the season of the rains, the predecessors of his sable Majesty,\nin order to preserve the life of their dear subjects, had caused the\nfetish of that terrible and pitiless enemy, who spares not even kings, to\nbe drowned in the lagoon. ",
"Toffa wished to comply with the traditions of\nhis ancestors.\" ",
"However, the ceremony as described by the missionary seems\nto conform closely to the type of the expulsion of ghosts and demons. ",
"Two\ndays before the crowning act of the celebration the streets were carefully\nswept and all the filth which usually encumbered them was removed, \"lest\nDeath should there find a refuge.\" ",
"All the people from the neighbouring\nvillages assembled; their fetishes, daubed with red paint, were carried in\ngreat pomp through the streets of the capital attended by noisy\nprocessions of mummers. ",
"A great multitude passed the night in the public\nsquare, drinking, singing, and shouting. ",
"Finally, a number of rude and\nhideous effigies were escorted by a noisy crowd to the shore of the\nlagoon; there canoes were waiting to receive them and paddle them out to\ndeep water, where they were flung overboard. ",
"These effigies the missionary\nregarded as so many images of Death, who thus received his passport and\nwas dismissed from the territory of Porto Novo. ",
"But more probably they\nrepresented the hosts of demons and ghosts who were believed to lurk about\nthe town and to massacre people under the form of sickness and disease.",
"\nHaving made a clean sweep of the whole baleful crew the inhabitants no\ndoubt thought that they had removed the principal, if not the only, cause\nof death, and that accordingly they had taken out a new lease of\nlife.(509) It is not without interest to observe that in cleansing their\nstreets the people did actually retrench one of the most fruitful sources\nof disease and death, especially in the sweltering heat of a damp tropical\nclimate; hence the measures they took for the prolongation of their lives\nwere really to a certain extent effectual, though they did not accomplish\ntheir object in the precise way they imagined. ",
"So curiously does it often\nhappen that the savage reaches the goal of his wishes by a road which to\ncivilized man might appear at first sight to lead far away from it.",
"\n\n(M157) Before the Hos of Togoland, to the west of Dahomey, celebrate their\nfestival of the new yams, which has been described in another part of this\nwork,(510) they say that it is necessary to clean the town and to put it\nin order. ",
"The way in which they do so is this. ",
"They take leaves of two\nparticular sorts of trees (the _adzu_ and the _wo_), together with\ncreepers and ashes, and bind all the leaves fast to a pole of the _adzu_\ntree. ",
"As they do so they pray or command the evil spirits, the witches,\nand all other evils in the town to enter into the band and be bound with\nit. ",
"Then they make a paste out of the ashes mixed with urine and smear it\non the bundle of leaves, saying, \"We smear it on the face of the Evil Ones\nwho are in this bundle, in order that they may not be able to see any\nmore.\" ",
"Then they throw the bundle on the ground and mock at it. ",
"Next they\ntake all the similar poles, wrapt in creepers, in which they have bound up\nall the evil powers, and carry them out of the town and stick them in the\nground on the various roads leading into the town. ",
"When they have done\nthis, they say that they have driven the evils out of the town and shut\nthe door against them. ",
"After that they wash the faces of all the people\nwith a medicine which has been prepared by the oldest men. ",
"Thereupon they\nall return home to sweep out their houses and yards; they sweep even the\nground in front of the yards, so that the whole town is thoroughly clean.",
"\nAll the grass-stalks and refuse of stock-yams which have been swept\ntogether are carried out of the town, and the people rail at the\nstock-yams. ",
"In the course of the night the oldest men assemble and tie a\ntoad to a young palm-leaf. ",
"They say that they wish now to sweep the town\nand finish the ceremony. ",
"So they drag the toad behind them through the\nwhole town in the direction of Mount Adaklu. ",
"When that has been done, the\npriests say that they will now remove the sicknesses. ",
"In the evening they\ngive public notice that they are about to take to the road, so nobody may\nlight a fire on the hearth or eat. ",
"At dead of night, when people are\nasleep, three men go through the town. ",
"One of them drags behind them a\ntoad fastened to a bunch of herbs; another carries a calabash of holy\nherbs and water, with which he sprinkles the streets; and the third\nwhistles softly. ",
"As soon as they have thus passed through the whole town,\nthey throw away the toad and the holy herbs in the direction of Mount\nAdaklu. ",
"Next morning the women sweep out their houses and hearths and set\nthe sweepings on broken wooden plates. ",
"Many put on torn mats or torn\nclothes; others tie grasses and creepers about them. ",
"While they do so,\nthey pray, saying, \"All ye sicknesses which are in our body and plague us,\nwe are come this day to cast you out!\" ",
"When they set out so to do, the\npriest commands every man to cry out thrice and thereby to smite himself\non the mouth. ",
"In a moment they all cry out, smite themselves on the mouth,\nand run as fast as their legs can carry them in the direction of Mount\nAdaklu. ",
"As they run, they say, \"Out to-day! ",
"Out to-day! ",
"What kills\nanybody, out to-day! ",
"Ye evil spirits, out to-day! ",
"And all that makes our\nheads to ache, out to-day! ",
"Anlo and Adaklu are the places whither all evil\nought to go.\" ",
"Now on Mount Adaklu there stands a _klo_ tree; and when they\nhave come thither they throw everything away and return home. ",
"After their\nreturn every man washes himself with the medicine which is set forth for\nthat purpose in the public street; then he goes into his house. ",
"Such is\nthe ceremony by which the Hos prepare themselves to eat the new yams.(511)\nThus among the Hos the public expulsion of evils is definitely connected\nwith the crops and therefore takes place every year, not every two years,\nas at Old Calabar.",
"\n\n(M158) Similar annual expulsions of embodied evils are not unknown in\nEurope. ",
"On the evening of Easter Sunday the gypsies of Southern Europe\ntake a wooden vessel like a band-box, which rests cradle-wise on two cross\npieces of wood. ",
"In this they place herbs and simples, together with the\ndried carcase of a snake, or lizard, which every person present must first\nhave touched with his fingers. ",
"The vessel is then wrapt in white and red\nwool, carried by the oldest man from tent to tent, and finally thrown into\nrunning water, not, however, before every member of the band has spat into\nit once, and the sorceress has uttered some spells over it. ",
"They believe\nthat by performing this ceremony they dispel all the illnesses that would\notherwise have afflicted them in the course of the year; and that if any\none finds the vessel and opens it out of curiosity, he and his will be\nvisited by all the maladies which the others have escaped.(512)\n\n(M159) The scapegoat by means of which the accumulated ills of a whole\nyear are publicly expelled is sometimes an animal. ",
"For example, among the\nGaros of Assam, \"besides the sacrifices for individual cases of illness,\nthere are certain ceremonies which are observed once a year by a whole\ncommunity or village, and are intended to safeguard its members from\ndangers of the forest, and from sickness and mishap during the coming\ntwelve months. ",
"The principal of these is the Asongtata ceremony. ",
"Close to\nthe outskirts of every big village a number of stones may be noticed stuck\ninto the ground, apparently without order or method. ",
"These are known by\nthe name of _asong_, and on them is offered the sacrifice which the\nAsongtata demands. ",
"The sacrifice of a goat takes place, and a month later,\nthat of a _langur_ (_Entellus_ monkey) or a bamboo-rat is considered\nnecessary. ",
"The animal chosen has a rope fastened round its neck and is led\nby two men, one on each side of it, to every house in the village. ",
"It is\ntaken inside each house in turn, the assembled villagers, meanwhile,\nbeating the walls from the outside, to frighten and drive out any evil\nspirits which may have taken up their residence within. ",
"The round of the\nvillage having been made in this manner, the monkey or rat is led to the\noutskirts of the village, killed by a blow of a _dao_, which disembowels\nit, and then crucified on bamboos set up in the ground. ",
"Round the\ncrucified animal long, sharp bamboo stakes are placed, which form _chevaux\nde frise_ round about it. ",
"These commemorate the days when such defences\nsurrounded the villages on all sides to keep off human enemies, and they\nare now a symbol to ward off sickness and dangers to life from the wild\nanimals of the forest. ",
"The _langur_ required for the purpose is hunted\ndown some days before, but should it be found impossible to catch one, a\nbrown monkey may take its place; a hulock may not be used.",
"\"(513) Here the\ncrucified ape or rat is the public scapegoat, which by its vicarious\nsufferings and death relieves the people from all sickness and mishap in\nthe coming year.",
"\n\n(M160) Again, on one day of the year the Bhotiyas of Juhar, in the Western\nHimalayas, take a dog, intoxicate him with spirits and bhang or hemp, and\nhaving fed him with sweetmeats, lead him round the village and let him\nloose. ",
"They then chase and kill him with sticks and stones, and believe\nthat, when they have done so, no disease or misfortune will visit the\nvillage during the year.(514) In some parts of Breadalbane it was formerly\nthe custom on New Year's Day to take a dog to the door, give him a bit of\nbread, and drive him out, saying, \"Get away, you dog! ",
"Whatever death of\nmen or loss of cattle would happen in this house to the end of the present\nyear, may it all light on your head!\"(515) It appears that the white dogs\nannually sacrificed by the Iroquois at their New Year Festival are, or\nhave been, regarded as scapegoats. ",
"According to Mr. J. V. H. Clark, who\nwitnessed the ceremony in January 1841, on the first day of the festival\nall the fires in the village were extinguished, the ashes scattered to the\nwinds, and a new fire kindled with flint and steel. ",
"On a subsequent day,\nmen dressed in fantastic costumes went round the village, gathering the\nsins of the people. ",
"When the morning of the last day of the festival was\ncome, two white dogs, decorated with red paint, wampum, feathers, and\nribbons, were led out. ",
"They were soon strangled, and hung on a ladder.",
"\nFiring and yelling succeeded, and half an hour later the animals were\ntaken into a house, \"where the people's sins were transferred to them.\"",
"\nThe carcases were afterwards burnt on a pyre of wood.(516) According to\nthe Rev. Mr. Kirkland, who wrote in the eighteenth century, the ashes of\nthe pyre upon which one of the white dogs was burnt were carried through\nthe village and sprinkled at the door of every house.(517) Formerly,\nhowever, as we have seen, the Iroquois expulsion of evils was immediate\nand not by scapegoat.(518) On the Day of Atonement, which was the tenth\nday of the seventh month, the Jewish high-priest laid both his hands on\nthe head of a live goat, confessed over it all the iniquities of the\nChildren of Israel, and, having thereby transferred the sins of the people\nto the beast, sent it away into the wilderness.(519)\n\n(M161) The scapegoat upon whom the sins of the people are periodically\nlaid, may also be a human being. ",
"At Onitsha, on the Niger, two human\nbeings used to be annually sacrificed to take away the sins of the land.",
"\nThe victims were purchased by public subscription. ",
"All persons who, during\nthe past year, had fallen into gross sins, such as incendiarism, theft,\nadultery, witchcraft, and so forth, were expected to contribute 28\n_ngugas_, or a little over L2. ",
"The money thus collected was taken into the\ninterior of the country and expended in the purchase of two sickly persons\n\"to be offered as a sacrifice for all these abominable crimes--one for the\nland and one for the river.\" ",
"A man from a neighbouring town was hired to\nput them to death. ",
"On the twenty-seventh of February 1858 the Rev. J. C.\nTaylor witnessed the sacrifice of one of these victims. ",
"The sufferer was a\nwoman, about nineteen or twenty years of age. ",
"They dragged her alive along\nthe ground, face downwards, from the king's house to the river, a distance\nof two miles, the crowds who accompanied her crying, \"Wickedness!",
"\nwickedness!\" ",
"The intention was \"to take away the iniquities of the land.",
"\nThe body was dragged along in a merciless manner, as if the weight of all\ntheir wickedness was thus carried away.",
"\"(520) Similar customs are said to\nbe still secretly practised every year by many tribes on the delta of the\nNiger in spite of the vigilance of the British Government.(521) Among the\nYoruba <DW64>s of West Africa \"the human victim chosen for sacrifice, and\nwho may be either a free-born or a slave, a person of noble or wealthy\nparentage, or one of humble birth, is, after he has been chosen and marked\nout for the purpose, called an _Oluwo_. ",
"He is always well fed and\nnourished and supplied with whatever he should desire during the period of\nhis confinement. ",
"When the occasion arrives for him to be sacrificed and\noffered up, he is commonly led about and paraded through the streets of\nthe town or city of the Sovereign who would sacrifice him for the\nwell-being of his government and of every family and individual under it,\nin order that he might carry off the sin, guilt, misfortune and death of\nall without exception. ",
"Ashes and chalk would be employed to hide his\nidentity by the one being freely thrown over his head, and his face\npainted with the latter, whilst individuals would often rush out of their\nhouses to lay their hands upon him that they might thus transfer to him\ntheir sin, guilt, trouble, and death. ",
"This parading done, he is taken\nthrough a temporary sacred shed of palm and other tree branches, and\nespecially of the former, the Igbodu(522) and to its first division, where\nmany persons might follow him, and through a second where only the chiefs\nand other very important persons might escort and accompany him to, and to\na third where only the Babalawo [priest] and his official assistant, the\nAjigbona, are permitted to enter with him. ",
"Here, after he himself has\ngiven out or started his last song, which is to be taken up by the large\nassembly of people who will have been waiting to hear his last word or his\nlast groan, his head is taken off and his blood offered to the gods. ",
"The\nannouncement of his last word or his last groan heard and taken up by the\npeople, would be a signal for joy, gladness, and thanksgiving, and for\ndrum beating and dancing, as an expression of their gratification because\ntheir sacrifice has been accepted, the divine wrath is appeased, and the\nprospect of prosperity or increased prosperity assured.",
"\"(523)\n\n(M162) In Siam it used to be the custom on one day of the year to single\nout a woman broken down by debauchery, and carry her on a litter through\nall the streets to the music of drums and hautboys. ",
"The mob insulted her\nand pelted her with dirt; and after having carried her through the whole\ncity, they threw her on a dunghill or a hedge of thorns outside the\nramparts, forbidding her ever to enter the walls again. ",
"They believed that\nthe woman thus drew upon herself all the malign influences of the air and\nof evil spirits.(524) In Japan the \"_tsuina_ or _oni-yarahi_, that is to\nsay, demon expelling, is a sort of drama in which disease, or more\ngenerally ill-luck, is personified, and driven away with threats and a\nshow of violence. ",
"Like the _oho-harahi_,(525) it was performed on the last\nday of the year. ",
"This association is only natural. ",
"The demons of the\n_tsuina_ are personified wintry influences, with the diseases which they\nbring with them, while the _oho-harahi_ is intended to cleanse the people\nfrom sin and uncleanness, things closely related to disease, as well as\nfrom disease itself. ",
"Though probably of Chinese origin, the _tsuina_ is a\ntolerably ancient rite. ",
"It is alluded to in the _Nihongi_ under the date\nA.D. 689. ",
"It was at one time performed at Court on an imposing scale. ",
"Four\nbands of twenty youths, each wearing a four-eyed mask, and each carrying a\nhalberd in the left hand, marched simultaneously from the four gates of\nthe palace, driving the devils before them. ",
"Another account of this\nceremony says that a man disguised himself as the demon of pestilence, in\nwhich garb he was shot at and driven off by the courtiers armed with\npeach-wood bows and arrows of reed. ",
"Peach-wood staves were used for the\nsame purpose. ",
"There was formerly a practice at Asakusa in Tokio on the\nlast day of the year for a man got up as a devil to be chased round the\npagoda there by another wearing a mask. ",
"After this 3,000 tickets were\nscrambled for by the spectators. ",
"These were carried away and pasted up\nover the doors as a charm against pestilence.",
"\"(526) The Battas of Sumatra\noffer either a red horse or a buffalo as a public sacrifice to purify the\nland and obtain the favour of the gods. ",
"Formerly, it is said, a man was\nbound to the same stake as the buffalo, and when they killed the animal,\nthe man was driven away; no one might receive him, converse with him, or\ngive him food.(527) Doubtless he was supposed to carry away the sins and\nmisfortunes of the people.",
"\n\n(M163) Human scapegoats, as we shall see presently, were well known in\nclassical antiquity, and even in mediaeval Europe the custom seems not to\nhave been wholly extinct. ",
"In the town of Halberstadt, in Thueringen, there\nwas a church said to have been founded by Charlemagne. ",
"In this church\nevery year they chose a man, who was believed to be stained with heinous\nsins. ",
"On the first day of Lent he was brought to the church, dressed in\nmourning garb, with his head muffled up. ",
"At the close of the service he\nwas turned out of the church. ",
"During the forty days of Lent he\nperambulated the city barefoot, neither entering the churches nor speaking\nto any one. ",
"The canons took it in turn to feed him. ",
"After midnight he was\nallowed to sleep in the streets. ",
"On the day before Good Friday, after the\nconsecration of the holy oil, he was readmitted to the church and absolved\nfrom his sins. ",
"The people gave him money. ",
"He was called Adam, and was now\nbelieved to be in a state of innocence.(528) At Entlebuch, in Switzerland,\ndown to the close of the eighteenth century, the custom of annually\nexpelling a scapegoat was preserved in the ceremony of driving \"Posterli\"\nfrom the village into the lands of the neighbouring village. \"",
"Posterli\"\nwas represented by a lad disguised as an old witch or as a goat or an ass.",
"\nAmid a deafening noise of horns, clarionets, bells, whips, and so forth,\nhe was driven out. ",
"Sometimes \"Posterli\" was represented by a puppet, which\nwas drawn on a sledge and left in a corner of the neighbouring village.",
"\nThe ceremony took place on the Thursday evening of the last week but one\nbefore Christmas.(529)\n\n(M164) In Munich down to about a hundred years ago the expulsion of the\ndevil from the city used to be annually enacted on Ascension Day. ",
"On the\nEve of Ascension Day a man disguised as a devil was chased through the\nstreets, which were then narrow and dirty in contrast to the broad,\nwell-kept thoroughfares, lined with imposing buildings, which now\ndistinguish the capital of Bavaria. ",
"His pursuers were dressed as witches\nand wizards and provided with the indispensable crutches, brooms, and\npitchforks which make up the outfit of these uncanny beings. ",
"While the\ndevil fled before them, the troop of maskers made after him with wild\nwhoops and halloos, and when they overtook him they ducked him in puddles\nor rolled him on dunghills. ",
"In this way the demon at last succeeded in\nreaching the palace, where he put off his hideous and now filthy disguise\nand was rewarded for his vicarious sufferings by a copious meal. ",
"The\ndevilish costume which he had thrown off was then stuffed with hay and\nstraw and conveyed to a particular church (the Frauenkirche), where it was\nkept over night, being hung by a rope from a window in the tower. ",
"On the\nafternoon of Ascension Day, before the Vesper service began, an image of\nthe Saviour was drawn up to the roof of the church, no doubt to symbolize\nthe event which the day commemorates. ",
"Then burning tow and wafers were\nthrown on the people. ",
"Meantime the effigy of the devil, painted black,\nwith a pair of horns and a lolling red tongue, had been dangling from the\nchurch tower, to the delight of a gaping crowd of spectators gathered\nbefore the church. ",
"It was now flung down into their midst, and a fierce\nstruggle for possession of it took place among the rabble. ",
"Finally, it was\ncarried out of the town by the Isar gate and burned on a neighbouring\nheight, \"in order that the foul fiend might do no harm to the city.\" ",
"The\ncustom died out at Munich towards the end of the eighteenth century; but\nit is said that similar ceremonies are observed to this day in some\nvillages of Upper Bavaria.(530)\n\n(M165) This quaint ceremony suggests that the pardoned criminal who used\nto play the principal part in a solemn religious procession on Ascension\nDay at Rouen(531) may in like manner have originally served, if not as a\nrepresentative of the devil, at least as a public scapegoat, who relieved\nthe whole people of their sins and sorrows for a year by taking them upon\nhimself. ",
"This would explain why the gaol had to be raked in order to\nfurnish one who would parade with the highest ecclesiastical dignitaries\nin their gorgeous vestments through the streets of Rouen, while the church\nbells pealed out, the clergy chanted, banners waved, and every\ncircumstance combined to enhance the pomp and splendour of the pageant. ",
"It\nwould add a pathetic significance to the crowning act of the ceremony,\nwhen on a lofty platform in the public square, with the eyes of a great\nand silent multitude turned upon him, the condemned malefactor received\nfrom the Church the absolution and remission of his sins; for if the rite\nis to be interpreted in the way here suggested, the sins which were thus\nforgiven were those not of one man only but of the whole people. ",
"No\nwonder, then, that when the sinner, now a sinner no more, rose from his\nknees and thrice lifted the silver shrine of St. Romain in his arms, the\nwhole vast assembly in the square broke out into joyous cries of \"_Noel!",
"\nNoel! ",
"Noel!_\" ",
"which they understood to signify, \"God be with us!\" ",
"In\nChristian countries no more appropriate season could be selected for the\nceremony of the human scapegoat than Ascension Day, which commemorates the\ndeparture from earth of Him who, in the belief of millions, took away the\nsins of the world.(532)\n\n(M166) Sometimes the scapegoat is a divine animal. ",
"The people of Malabar\nshare the Hindoo reverence for the cow, to kill and eat which \"they esteem\nto be a crime as heinous as homicide or wilful murder.\" ",
"Nevertheless the\n\"Bramans transfer the sins of the people into one or more Cows, which are\nthen carry'd away, both the Cows and the Sins wherewith these Beasts are\ncharged, to what place the Braman shall appoint.",
"\"(533) When the ancient\nEgyptians sacrificed a bull, they invoked upon its head all the evils that\nmight otherwise befall themselves and the land of Egypt, and thereupon\nthey either sold the bull's head to the Greeks or cast it into the\nriver.(534) Now, it cannot be said that in the times known to us the\nEgyptians worshipped bulls in general, for they seem to have commonly\nkilled and eaten them.(535) But a good many circumstances point to the\nconclusion that originally all cattle, bulls as well as cows, were held\nsacred by the Egyptians. ",
"For not only were all cows esteemed holy by them\nand never sacrificed, but even bulls might not be sacrificed unless they\nhad certain natural marks; a priest examined every bull before it was\nsacrificed; if it had the proper marks, he put his seal on the animal in\ntoken that it might be sacrificed; and if a man sacrificed a bull which\nhad not been sealed, he was put to death. ",
"Moreover, the worship of the\nblack bulls Apis and Mnevis, especially the former, played an important\npart in Egyptian religion; all bulls that died a natural death were\ncarefully buried in the suburbs of the cities, and their bones were\nafterwards collected from all parts of Egypt and interred in a single\nspot; and at the sacrifice of a bull in the great rites of Isis all the\nworshippers beat their breasts and mourned.(536) On the whole, then, we\nare perhaps entitled to infer that bulls were originally, as cows were\nalways, esteemed sacred by the Egyptians, and that the slain bull upon\nwhose head they laid the misfortunes of the people was once a divine\nscapegoat. ",
"It seems not improbable that the lamb annually slain by the\nMadis of Central Africa is a divine scapegoat, and the same supposition\nmay partly explain the Zuni sacrifice of the turtle.(537)\n\n(M167) Lastly, the scapegoat may be a divine man. ",
"Thus, in November the\nGonds of India worship Ghansyam Deo, the protector of the crops, and at\nthe festival the god himself is said to descend on the head of one of the\nworshippers, who is suddenly seized with a kind of fit and, after\nstaggering about, rushes off into the jungle, where it is believed that,\nif left to himself, he would die mad. ",
"However, they bring him back, but he\ndoes not recover his senses for one or two days. ",
"The people think that one\nman is thus singled out as a scapegoat for the sins of the rest of the\nvillage.(538) In the temple of the Moon the Albanians of the Eastern\nCaucasus kept a number of sacred slaves, of whom many were inspired and\nprophesied. ",
"When one of these men exhibited more than usual symptoms of\ninspiration or insanity, and wandered solitary up and down the woods, like\nthe Gond in the jungle, the high priest had him bound with a sacred chain\nand maintained him in luxury for a year. ",
"At the end of the year he was\nanointed with unguents and led forth to be sacrificed. ",
"A man whose\nbusiness it was to slay these human victims and to whom practice had given\ndexterity, advanced from the crowd and thrust a sacred spear into the\nvictim's side, piercing his heart. ",
"From the manner in which the slain man\nfell, omens were drawn as to the welfare of the commonwealth. ",
"Then the\nbody was carried to a certain spot where all the people stood upon it as a\npurificatory ceremony.(539) This last circumstance clearly indicates that\nthe sins of the people were transferred to the victim, just as the Jewish\npriest transferred the sins of the people to the scapegoat by laying his\nhands on the animal's head; and since the man was believed to be possessed\nby the divine spirit, we have here an undoubted example of a man-god slain\nto take away the sins and misfortunes of the people.",
"\n\n(M168) In Tibet the ceremony of the scapegoat presents some remarkable\nfeatures. ",
"The Tibetan new year begins with the new moon which appears\nabout the fifteenth of February. ",
"For twenty-three days afterwards the\ngovernment of Lhasa, the capital, is taken out of the hands of the\nordinary rulers and entrusted to the monk of the Debang monastery who\noffers to pay the highest sum for the privilege. ",
"The successful bidder is\ncalled the Jalno, and he announces his accession to power in person, going\nthrough the streets of Lhasa with a silver stick in his hand. ",
"Monks from\nall the neighbouring monasteries and temples assemble to pay him homage.",
"\nThe Jalno exercises his authority in the most arbitrary manner for his own\nbenefit, as all the fines which he exacts are his by purchase. ",
"The profit\nhe makes is about ten times the amount of the purchase money. ",
"His men go\nabout the streets in order to discover any conduct on the part of the\ninhabitants that can be found fault with. ",
"Every house in Lhasa is taxed at\nthis time, and the slightest offence is punished with unsparing rigour by\nfines. ",
"This severity of the Jalno drives all working classes out of the\ncity till the twenty-three days are over. ",
"But if the laity go out, the\nclergy come in. ",
"All the Buddhist monasteries of the country for miles\nround about open their gates and disgorge their inmates. ",
"All the roads\nthat lead down into Lhasa from the neighbouring mountains are full of\nmonks hurrying to the capital, some on foot, some on horseback, some\nriding asses or lowing oxen, all carrying their prayer-books and culinary\nutensils. ",
"In such multitudes do they come that the streets and squares of\nthe city are encumbered with their swarms, and incarnadined with their red\ncloaks. ",
"The disorder and confusion are indescribable. ",
"Bands of the holy\nmen traverse the streets chanting prayers or uttering wild cries. ",
"They\nmeet, they jostle, they quarrel, they fight; bloody noses, black eyes, and\nbroken heads are freely given and received. ",
"All day long, too, from before\nthe peep of dawn till after darkness has fallen, these red-cloaked monks\nhold services in the dim incense-laden air of the great Machindranath\ntemple, the cathedral of Lhasa; and thither they crowd thrice a day to\nreceive their doles of tea and soup and money. ",
"The cathedral is a vast\nbuilding, standing in the centre of the city, and surrounded by bazaars\nand shops. ",
"The idols in it are richly inlaid with gold and precious\nstones.",
"\n\n(M169) Twenty-four days after the Jalno has ceased to have authority, he\nassumes it again, and for ten days acts in the same arbitrary manner as\nbefore. ",
"On the first of the ten days the priests again assemble at the\ncathedral, pray to the gods to prevent sickness and other evils among the\npeople, \"and, as a peace-offering, sacrifice one man. ",
"The man is not\nkilled purposely, but the ceremony he undergoes often proves fatal.(540)\nGrain is thrown against his head, and his face is painted half white, half\nblack.\" ",
"Thus grotesquely disguised, and carrying a coat of skin on his\narm, he is called the King of the Years, and sits daily in the\nmarket-place, where he helps himself to whatever he likes and goes about\nshaking a black yak's tail over the people, who thus transfer their bad\nluck to him. ",
"On the tenth day, all the troops in Lhasa march to the great\ntemple and form in line before it. ",
"The King of the Years is brought forth\nfrom the temple and receives small donations from the assembled multitude.",
"\nHe then ridicules the Jalno, saying to him, \"What we perceive through the\nfive senses is no illusion. ",
"All you teach is untrue,\" and the like. ",
"The\nJalno, who represents the Grand Lama for the time being, contests these\nheretical opinions; the dispute waxes warm, and at last both agree to\ndecide the questions at issue by a cast of the dice, the Jalno offering to\nchange places with the scapegoat should the throw be against him. ",
"If the\nKing of the Years wins, much evil is prognosticated; but if the Jalno\nwins, there is great rejoicing, for it proves that his adversary has been\naccepted by the gods as a victim to bear all the sins of the people of\nLhasa. ",
"Fortune, however, always favours the Jalno, who throws sixes with\nunvarying success, while his opponent turns up only ones. ",
"Nor is this so\nextraordinary as at first sight it might appear; for the Jalno's dice are\nmarked with nothing but sixes and his adversary's with nothing but ones.",
"\nWhen he sees the finger of Providence thus plainly pointed against him,\nthe King of the Years is terrified and flees away upon a white horse, with\na white dog, a white bird, salt, and so forth, which have all been\nprovided for him by the government. ",
"His face is still painted half white\nand half black, and he still wears his leathern coat. ",
"The whole populace\npursues him, hooting, yelling, and firing blank shots in volleys after\nhim. ",
"Thus driven out of the city, he is detained for seven days in the\ngreat chamber of horrors at the Samyas monastery, surrounded by monstrous\nand terrific images of devils and skins of huge serpents and wild beasts.",
"\nThence he goes away into the mountains of Chetang, where he has to remain\nan outcast for several months or a year in a narrow den. ",
"If he dies before\nthe time is out, the people say it is an auspicious omen; but if he\nsurvives, he may return to Lhasa and play the part of scapegoat over again\nthe following year.(541)\n\n(M170) This quaint ceremonial, still annually observed in the secluded\ncapital of Buddhism--the Rome of Asia--is interesting because it exhibits,\nin a clearly marked religious stratification, a series of divine redeemers\nthemselves redeemed, of vicarious sacrifices vicariously atoned for, of\ngods undergoing a process of fossilization, who, while they retain the\nprivileges, have disburdened themselves of the pains and penalties of\ndivinity. ",
"In the Jalno we may without undue straining discern a successor\nof those temporary kings, those mortal gods, who purchase a short lease of\npower and glory at the price of their lives. ",
"That he is the temporary\nsubstitute of the Grand Lama is certain; that he is, or was once, liable\nto act as scapegoat for the people is made nearly certain by his offer to\nchange places with the real scapegoat--the King of the Years--if the\narbitrament of the dice should go against him. ",
"It is true that the\nconditions under which the question is now put to the hazard have reduced\nthe offer to an idle form. ",
"But such forms are no mere mushroom growths,\nspringing up of themselves in a night. ",
"If they are now lifeless\nformalities, empty husks devoid of significance, we may be sure that they\nonce had a life and a meaning; if at the present day they are blind alleys\nleading nowhere, we may be certain that in former days they were paths\nthat led somewhere, if only to death. ",
"That death was the goal to which of\nold the Tibetan scapegoat passed after his brief period of licence in the\nmarket-place, is a conjecture that has much to commend it. ",
"Analogy\nsuggests it; the blank shots fired after him, the statement that the\nceremony often proves fatal, the belief that his death is a happy omen,\nall confirm it. ",
"We need not wonder then that the Jalno, after paying so\ndear to act as deputy-deity for a few weeks, should have preferred to die\nby deputy rather than in his own person when his time was up. ",
"The painful\nbut necessary duty was accordingly laid on some poor devil, some social\noutcast, some wretch with whom the world had gone hard, who readily agreed\nto throw away his life at the end of a few days if only he might have his\nfling in the meantime. ",
"For observe that while the time allowed to the\noriginal deputy--the Jalno--was measured by weeks, the time allowed to the\ndeputy's deputy was cut down to days, ten days according to one authority,\nseven days according to another. ",
"So short a rope was doubtless thought a\nlong enough tether for so black or sickly a sheep; so few sands in the\nhour-glass, slipping so fast away, sufficed for one who had wasted so many\nprecious years. ",
"Hence in the jack-pudding who now masquerades with motley\ncountenance in the market-place of Lhasa, sweeping up misfortune with a\nblack yak's tail, we may fairly see the substitute of a substitute, the\nvicar of a vicar, the proxy on whose back the heavy burden was laid when\nit had been lifted from nobler shoulders. ",
"But the clue, if we have\nfollowed it aright, does not stop at the Jalno; it leads straight back to\nthe pope of Lhasa himself, the Grand Lama, of whom the Jalno is merely the\ntemporary vicar. ",
"The analogy of many customs in many lands points to the\nconclusion that, if this human divinity stoops to resign his ghostly power\nfor a time into the hands of a substitute, it is, or rather was once, for\nno other reason than that the substitute might die in his stead. ",
"Thus\nthrough the mist of ages unillumined by the lamp of history, the tragic\nfigure of the pope of Buddhism--God's vicar on earth for Asia--looms dim and\nsad as the man-god who bore his people's sorrows, the Good Shepherd who\nlaid down his life for the sheep.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER V. ON SCAPEGOATS IN GENERAL.",
"\n\n\n(M171) The foregoing survey of the custom of publicly expelling the\naccumulated evils of a village or town or country suggests a few general\nobservations.",
"\n\n(M172) In the first place, it will not be disputed that what I have called\nthe immediate and the mediate expulsions of evil are identical in\nintention; in other words, that whether the evils are conceived of as\ninvisible or as embodied in a material form, is a circumstance entirely\nsubordinate to the main object of the ceremony, which is simply to effect\na total clearance of all the ills that have been infesting a people. ",
"If\nany link were wanting to connect the two kinds of expulsion, it would be\nfurnished by such a practice as that of sending the evils away in a litter\nor a boat. ",
"For here, on the one hand, the evils are invisible and\nintangible; and, on the other hand, there is a visible and tangible\nvehicle to convey them away. ",
"And a scapegoat is nothing more than such a\nvehicle.",
"\n\n(M173) In the second place, when a general clearance of evils is resorted\nto periodically, the interval between the celebrations of the ceremony is\ncommonly a year, and the time of year when the ceremony takes place\nusually coincides with some well-marked change of season, such as the\nbeginning or end of winter in the arctic and temperate zones, and the\nbeginning or end of the rainy season in the tropics. ",
"The increased\nmortality which such climatic changes are apt to produce, especially\namongst ill-fed, ill-clothed, and ill-housed savages, is set down by\nprimitive man to the agency of demons, who must accordingly be expelled.",
"\nHence, in the tropical regions of New Britain and Peru, the devils are or\nwere driven out at the beginning of the rainy season; hence, on the dreary\ncoasts of Baffin Land, they are banished at the approach of the bitter\narctic winter. ",
"When a tribe has taken to husbandry, the time for the\ngeneral expulsion of devils is naturally made to agree with one of the\ngreat epochs of the agricultural year, as sowing, or harvest; but, as\nthese epochs themselves naturally coincide with changes of season, it does\nnot follow that the transition from the hunting or pastoral to the\nagricultural life involves any alteration in the time of celebrating this\ngreat annual rite. ",
"Some of the agricultural communities of India and the\nHindoo Koosh, as we have seen, hold their general clearance of demons at\nharvest, others at sowing-time. ",
"But, at whatever season of the year it is\nheld, the general expulsion of devils commonly marks the beginning of the\nnew year. ",
"For, before entering on a new year, people are anxious to rid\nthemselves of the troubles that have harassed them in the past; hence it\ncomes about that in so many communities the beginning of the new year is\ninaugurated with a solemn and public banishment of evil spirits.",
"\n\n(M174) In the third place, it is to be observed that this public and\nperiodic expulsion of devils is commonly preceded or followed by a period\nof general license, during which the ordinary restraints of society are\nthrown aside, and all offences, short of the gravest, are allowed to pass\nunpunished. ",
"In Guinea and Tonquin the period of license precedes the\npublic expulsion of demons; and the suspension of the ordinary government\nin Lhasa previous to the expulsion of the scapegoat is perhaps a relic of\na similar period of universal license. ",
"Amongst the Hos of India the period\nof license follows the expulsion of the devil. ",
"Amongst the Iroquois it\nhardly appears whether it preceded or followed the banishment of evils. ",
"In\nany case, the extraordinary relaxation of all ordinary rules of conduct on\nsuch occasions is doubtless to be explained by the general clearance of\nevils which precedes or follows it. ",
"On the one hand, when a general\nriddance of evil and absolution from all sin is in immediate prospect, men\nare encouraged to give the rein to their passions, trusting that the\ncoming ceremony will wipe out the score which they are running up so fast.",
"\nOn the other hand, when the ceremony has just taken place, men's minds are\nfreed from the oppressive sense, under which they generally labour, of an\natmosphere surcharged with devils; and in the first revulsion of joy they\noverleap the limits commonly imposed by custom and morality. ",
"When the\nceremony takes place at harvest-time, the elation of feeling which it\nexcites is further stimulated by the state of physical wellbeing produced\nby an abundant supply of food.(542)\n\n(M175) Fourthly, the employment of a divine man or animal as a scapegoat\nis especially to be noted; indeed, we are here directly concerned with the\ncustom of banishing evils only in so far as these evils are believed to be\ntransferred to a god who is afterwards slain. ",
"It may be suspected that the\ncustom of employing a divine man or animal as a public scapegoat is much\nmore widely diffused than appears from the examples cited. ",
"For, as has\nalready been pointed out, the custom of killing a god dates from so early\na period of human history that in later ages, even when the custom\ncontinues to be practised, it is liable to be misinterpreted. ",
"The divine\ncharacter of the animal or man is forgotten, and he comes to be regarded\nmerely as an ordinary victim. ",
"This is especially likely to be the case\nwhen it is a divine man who is killed. ",
"For when a nation becomes\ncivilized, if it does not drop human sacrifices altogether, it at least\nselects as victims only such wretches as would be put to death at any\nrate. ",
"Thus the killing of a god may sometimes come to be confounded with\nthe execution of a criminal.",
"\n\n(M176) If we ask why a dying god should be chosen to take upon himself and\ncarry away the sins and sorrows of the people, it may be suggested that in\nthe practice of using the divinity as a scapegoat we have a combination of\ntwo customs which were at one time distinct and independent. ",
"On the one\nhand we have seen that it has been customary to kill the human or animal\ngod in order to save his divine life from being weakened by the inroads of\nage. ",
"On the other hand we have seen that it has been customary to have a\ngeneral expulsion of evils and sins once a year. ",
"Now, if it occurred to\npeople to combine these two customs, the result would be the employment of\nthe dying god as a scapegoat. ",
"He was killed, not originally to take away\nsin, but to save the divine life from the degeneracy of old age; but,\nsince he had to be killed at any rate, people may have thought that they\nmight as well seize the opportunity to lay upon him the burden of their\nsufferings and sins, in order that he might bear it away with him to the\nunknown world beyond the grave.",
"\n\n(M177) The use of the divinity as a scapegoat clears up the ambiguity\nwhich, as we saw, appears to hang about the European folk-custom of\n\"carrying out Death.",
"\"(543) Grounds have been shewn for believing that in\nthis ceremony the so-called Death was originally the spirit of vegetation,\nwho was annually slain in spring, in order that he might come to life\nagain with all the vigour of youth. ",
"But, as I pointed out, there are\ncertain features in the ceremony which are not explicable on this\nhypothesis alone. ",
"Such are the marks of joy with which the effigy of Death\nis carried out to be buried or burnt, and the fear and abhorrence of it\nmanifested by the bearers. ",
"But these features become at once intelligible\nif we suppose that the Death was not merely the dying god of vegetation,\nbut also a public scapegoat, upon whom were laid all the evils that had\nafflicted the people during the past year. ",
"Joy on such an occasion is\nnatural and appropriate; and if the dying god appears to be the object of\nthat fear and abhorrence which are properly due not to himself, but to the\nsins and misfortunes with which he is laden, this arises merely from the\ndifficulty of distinguishing, or at least of marking the distinction,\nbetween the bearer and the burden. ",
"When the burden is of a baleful\ncharacter, the bearer of it will be feared and shunned just as much as if\nhe were himself instinct with those dangerous properties of which, as it\nhappens, he is only the vehicle. ",
"Similarly we have seen that disease-laden\nand sin-laden boats are dreaded and shunned by East Indian peoples.(544)\nAgain, the view that in these popular customs the Death is a scapegoat as\nwell as a representative of the divine spirit of vegetation derives some\nsupport from the circumstance that its expulsion is always celebrated in\nspring and chiefly by Slavonic peoples. ",
"For the Slavonic year began in\nspring;(545) and thus, in one of its aspects, the ceremony of \"carrying\nout Death\" would be an example of the widespread custom of expelling the\naccumulated evils of the old year before entering on a new one.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VI. ",
"HUMAN SCAPEGOATS IN CLASSICAL ANTIQUITY.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 1. ",
"The Human Scapegoat in Ancient Rome.",
"\n\n\n(M178) We are now prepared to notice the use of the human scapegoat in\nclassical antiquity. ",
"Every year on the fourteenth of March a man clad in\nskins was led in procession through the streets of Rome, beaten with long\nwhite rods, and driven out of the city. ",
"He was called Mamurius\nVeturius,(546) that is, \"the old Mars,\"(547) and as the ceremony took\nplace on the day preceding the first full moon of the old Roman year\n(which began on the first of March), the skin-clad man must have\nrepresented the Mars of the past year, who was driven out at the beginning\nof a new one. ",
"Now Mars was originally not a god of war but of vegetation.",
"\nFor it was to Mars that the Roman husbandman prayed for the prosperity of\nhis corn and his vines, his fruit-trees and his copses;(548) it was to\nMars that the priestly college of the Arval Brothers, whose business it\nwas to sacrifice for the growth of the crops,(549) addressed their\npetitions almost exclusively;(550) and it was to Mars, as we saw,(551)\nthat a horse was sacrificed in October to secure an abundant harvest.",
"\nMoreover, it was to Mars, under his title of \"Mars of the woods\" (_Mars\nSilvanus_), that farmers offered sacrifice for the welfare of their\ncattle.(552) We have already seen that cattle are commonly supposed to be\nunder the special patronage of tree-gods.(553) Once more, the consecration\nof the vernal month of March to Mars seems to point him out as the deity\nof the sprouting vegetation. ",
"Thus the Roman custom of expelling the old\nMars at the beginning of the new year in spring is identical with the\nSlavonic custom of \"carrying out Death,\" if the view here taken of the\nlatter custom is correct. ",
"The similarity of the Roman and Slavonic customs\nhas been already remarked by scholars, who appear, however, to have taken\nMamurius Veturius and the corresponding figures in the Slavonic ceremonies\nto be representatives of the old year rather than of the old god of\nvegetation.(554) It is possible that ceremonies of this kind may have come\nto be thus interpreted in later times even by the people who practised\nthem. ",
"But the personification of a period of time is too abstract an idea\nto be primitive.(555) However, in the Roman, as in the Slavonic, ceremony,\nthe representative of the god appears to have been treated not only as a\ndeity of vegetation but also as a scapegoat. ",
"His expulsion implies this;\nfor there is no reason why the god of vegetation, as such, should be\nexpelled the city. ",
"But it is otherwise if he is also a scapegoat; it then\nbecomes necessary to drive him beyond the boundaries, that he may carry\nhis sorrowful burden away to other lands. ",
"And, in fact, Mamurius Veturius\nappears to have been driven away to the land of the Oscans, the enemies of\nRome.(556)\n\n(M179) The blows with which the \"old Mars\" was expelled the city seem to\nhave been administered by the dancing priests of Mars, the Salii. ",
"At least\nwe know that in their songs these priests made mention of Mamurius\nVeturius;(557) and we are told that on a day dedicated to him they beat a\nhide with rods.(558) It is therefore highly probable that the hide which\nthey drubbed on that day was the one worn by the representative of the\ndeity whose name they simultaneously chanted. ",
"Thus on the fourteenth day\nof March every year Rome witnessed the curious spectacle of the human\nincarnation of a god chased by the god's own priests with blows from the\ncity. ",
"The rite becomes at least intelligible on the theory that the man so\nbeaten and expelled stood for the outworn deity of vegetation, who had to\nbe replaced by a fresh and vigorous young divinity at the beginning of a\nNew Year, when everywhere around in field and meadow, in wood and thicket\nthe vernal flowers, the sprouting grass, and the opening buds and blossoms\ntestified to the stirring of new life in nature after the long torpor and\nstagnation of winter. ",
"The dancing priests of the god derived their name of\nSalii from the leaps or dances which they were bound to execute as a\nsolemn religious ceremony every year in the Comitium, the centre of Roman\npolitical life.(559) Twice a year, in the spring month of March and the\nautumn month of October, they discharged this sacred duty;(560) and as\nthey did so they invoked Saturn, the Roman god of sowing.(561) As the\nRomans sowed the corn both in spring and autumn,(562) and as down to the\npresent time in Europe superstitious rustics are wont to dance and leap\nhigh in spring for the purpose of making the crops grow high,(563) we may\nconjecture that the leaps and dances performed by the Salii, the priests\nof the old Italian god of vegetation, were similarly supposed to quicken\nthe growth of the corn by homoeopathic or imitative magic. ",
"The Salii were\nnot limited to Rome; similar colleges of dancing priests are known to have\nexisted in many towns of ancient Italy;(564) everywhere, we may\nconjecture, they were supposed to contribute to the fertility of the earth\nby their leaps and dances. ",
"At Rome they were divided into two colleges,\neach composed of twelve members; and it is not impossible that the number\ntwelve was fixed with reference to the twelve months of the old lunar\nyear;(565) the _Fratres Arvales_, or \"Brethren of the Ploughed Fields,\"\nanother Roman college of priests, whose functions were purely\nagricultural, and who wore as a badge of their office a wreath of\ncorn-ears, were also twelve in number, perhaps for a similar reason.(566)\nNor was the martial equipment of the Salii so alien to this peaceful\nfunction as a modern reader might naturally suppose. ",
"Each of them wore on\nhis head a peaked helmet of bronze, and at his side a sword; on his left\narm he carried a shield of a peculiar shape, and in his right hand he\nwielded a staff with which he smote on the shield till it rang again.(567)\nSuch weapons in priestly hands may be turned against spiritual foes; in\nthe preceding pages we have met with many examples of the use of material\narms to rout the host of demons who oppress the imagination of primitive\nman, and we have seen that the clash and clangour of metal is often deemed\nparticularly effective in putting these baleful beings to flight.(568) May\nit not have been so with the martial priests of Mars? ",
"We know that they\nparaded the city for days together in a regular order, taking up their\nquarters for the night at a different place each day; and as they went\nthey danced in triple time, singing and clashing on their shields and\ntaking their time from a fugleman, who skipped and postured at their\nhead.(569) We may conjecture that in so doing they were supposed to be\nexpelling the powers of evil which had accumulated during the preceding\nyear or six months, and which the people pictured to themselves in the\nform of demons lurking in the houses, temples, and the other edifices of\nthe city. ",
"In savage communities such tumultuous and noisy processions\noften parade the village for a similar purpose. ",
"Similarly, we have seen\nthat among the Iroquois men in fantastic costume used to go about\ncollecting the sins of the people as a preliminary to transferring them to\nthe scapegoat dogs; and we have met with many examples of armed men\nrushing about the streets and houses to drive out demons and evils of all\nkinds.(570) Why should it not have been so also in ancient Rome? ",
"The\nreligion of the old Romans is full of relics of savagery.",
"\n\n(M180) If there is any truth in this conjecture, we may suppose that, as\npriests of a god who manifested his power in the vegetation of spring, the\nSalii turned their attention above all to the demons of blight and\ninfertility, who might be thought by their maleficent activity to\ncounteract the genial influence of the kindly god and to endanger the\nfarmer's prospects in the coming summer or winter. ",
"The conjecture may be\nsupported by analogies drawn from the customs of modern European peasants\nas well as of savages. ",
"Thus, to begin with savages, we have seen that at\nthe time of sowing the Khonds drive out the \"evil spirits, spoilers of the\nseed\" from every house in the village, the expulsion being effected by\nyoung men who beat each other and strike the air violently with long\nsticks.(571) If I am right in connecting the vernal and the autumnal\nprocessions of the Salii with the vernal and the autumnal sowing, the\nanalogy between the Khond and the Roman customs would be very close. ",
"In\nWest Africa the fields of the King of Whydah, according to an old French\ntraveller, \"are hoed and sowed before any of his subjects has leave to hoe\nand sow a foot of his own lands. ",
"These labours are performed thrice a\nyear. ",
"The chiefs lead their people before the king's palace at daybreak,\nand there they sing and dance for a full quarter of an hour. ",
"Half of these\npeople are armed as in a day of battle, the other half have only their\nfarm tools. ",
"They go all together singing and dancing to the scene of their\nlabours, and there, keeping time to the sound of the instruments, they\nwork with such speed and neatness that it is a pleasure to behold. ",
"At the\nend of the day they return and dance before the king's palace. ",
"This\nexercise refreshes them and does them more good than all the repose they\ncould take.",
"\"(572) From this account we might infer that the dancing was\nmerely a recreation of the field-labourers, and that the music of the band\nhad no other object than to animate them in their work by enabling them to\nply their mattocks in time to its stirring strains. ",
"But this inference,\nthough it seems to have been drawn by the traveller who has furnished the\naccount, would probably be erroneous. ",
"For if half of the men were armed as\nfor war, what were they doing in the fields all the time that the others\nwere digging? ",
"A clue to unravel the mystery is furnished by the\ndescription which a later French traveller gives of a similar scene\nwitnessed by him near Timbo in French Guinea. ",
"He saw some natives at work\npreparing the ground for sowing. \"",
"It is a very curious spectacle: fifty or\nsixty blacks in a line, with bent backs, are smiting the earth\nsimultaneously with their little iron tools, which gleam in the sun. ",
"Ten\npaces in front of them, marching backwards, the women sing a well marked\nair, clapping their hands as for a dance, and the hoes keep time to the\nsong. ",
"Between the workers and the singers a man runs and dances, crouching\non his hams like a clown, while he whirls about his musket and performs\nother manoeuvres with it. ",
"Two others dance, also pirouetting and smiting\nthe earth here and there with their little hoe. ",
"All that is necessary for\nexorcising the spirits and causing the grain to sprout.",
"\"(573) Here, while\nthe song of the women gives the time to the strokes of the hoes, the\ndances and other antics of the armed man and his colleagues are intended\nto exorcise or ward off the spirits who might interfere with the diggers\nand so prevent the grain from sprouting.",
"\n\n(M181) Again, an old traveller in southern India tells us that \"the men of\nCalicut, when they wish to sow rice, observe this practice. ",
"First, they\nplough the land with oxen as we do, and when they sow the rice in the\nfield they have all the instruments of the city continually sounding and\nmaking merry. ",
"They also have ten or twelve men clothed like devils, and\nthese unite in making great rejoicing with the players on the instruments,\nin order that the devil may make that rice very productive.",
"\"(574) We may\nsuspect that the noisy music is played and the mummers cut their capers\nfor the purpose rather of repelling demons than of inducing them to favour\nthe growth of the rice. ",
"However, where our information is so scanty it\nwould be rash to dogmatize. ",
"Perhaps the old traveller was right in\nthinking that the mummers personated devils. ",
"Among the Kayans of Central\nBorneo men disguised in wooden masks and great masses of green foliage\ncertainly play the part of demons for the purpose of promoting the growth\nof the rice just before the seed is committed to the ground; and it is\nnotable that among the performances which they give on this occasion are\nwar dances.(575) Again, among the Kaua and Kobeua Indians of North-Western\nBrazil masked men who represent spirits or demons of fertility perform\ndances or rather pantomimes for the purpose of stimulating the growth of\nplants, quickening the wombs of women, and promoting the multiplication of\nanimals.(576)\n\n(M182) Further, we are told that \"the natives of Aracan dance in order to\nrender propitious the spirits whom they believe to preside over the sowing\nand over the harvest. ",
"There are definite times for doing it, and we may\nsay that in their eyes it is, as it were, an act of religion.",
"\"(577)\nAnother people who dance diligently to obtain good crops are the\nTarahumare Indians of Mexico. ",
"They subsist by agriculture and their\nthoughts accordingly turn much on the supply of rain, which is needed for\ntheir fields. ",
"According to them, \"the favour of the gods may be won by\nwhat for want of a better term may be called dancing, but what in reality\nis a series of monotonous movements, a kind of rhythmical exercise, kept\nup sometimes for two nights. ",
"By dint of such hard work they think to\nprevail upon the gods to grant their prayers. ",
"The dancing is accompanied\nby the song of the shaman, in which he communicates his wishes to the\nunseen world, describing the beautiful effect of the rain, the fog, and\nthe mist on the vegetable world. ",
"He invokes the aid of all the animals,\nmentioning each by name, and also calls on them, especially the deer and\nthe rabbit, to multiply that the people may have plenty to eat. ",
"As a\nmatter of fact, the Tarahumares assert that the dances have been taught\nthem by the animals. ",
"Like all primitive people, they are close observers\nof nature. ",
"To them the animals are by no means inferior creatures; they\nunderstand magic and are possessed of much knowledge, and may assist the\nTarahumares in making rain. ",
"In spring, the singing of the birds, the\ncooing of the dove, the croaking of the frog, the chirping of the cricket,\nall the sounds uttered by the denizens of the greensward, are to the\nIndian appeals to the deities for rain. ",
"For what other reason should they\nsing or call? ",
"For the strange behaviour of many animals in the early\nspring the Tarahumares can find no other explanation but that these\ncreatures, too, are interested in rain. ",
"And as the gods grant the prayers\nof the deer expressed in its antics and dances, and of the turkey in its\ncurious playing, by sending the rain, they easily infer that to please the\ngods they, too, must dance as the deer and play as the turkey. ",
"From this\nit will be understood that dance with these people is a very serious and\nceremonious matter, a kind of worship and incantation rather than\namusement.",
"\"(578)\n\n(M183) The two principal dances of these Indians, the _rutuburi_ and the\n_yumari_, are supposed to have been taught them by the turkey and the deer\nrespectively. ",
"They are danced by numbers of men and women, the two sexes\nkeeping apart from each other in the dance, while the shaman sings and\nshakes his rattle. ",
"But \"a large gathering is not necessary in order to\npray to the gods by dancing. ",
"Sometimes the family dances alone, the father\nteaching the boys. ",
"While doing agricultural work, the Indians often depute\none man to dance _yumari_ near the house, while the others attend to the\nwork in the fields. ",
"It is a curious sight to see a lone man taking his\ndevotional exercise to the tune of his rattle in front of an apparently\ndeserted dwelling. ",
"The lonely worshipper is doing his share of the general\nwork by bringing down the fructifying rain and by warding off disaster,\nwhile the rest of the family and their friends plant, hoe, weed, or\nharvest. ",
"In the evening, when they return from the field, they may join\nhim for a little while; but often he goes on alone, dancing all night, and\nsinging himself hoarse, and the Indians told me that this is the very\nhardest kind of work, and exhausting even to them. ",
"Solitary worship is\nalso observed by men who go out hunting deer or squirrels for a communal\nfeast. ",
"Every one of them dances _yumari_ alone in front of his house for\ntwo hours to insure success on the hunt; and when putting corn to sprout\nfor the making of _tesvino_ the owner of the house dances for a while,\nthat the corn may sprout well.\" ",
"Another dance is thought to cause the\ngrass and funguses to grow, and the deer and rabbits to multiply; and\nanother is supposed to draw the clouds together from the north and south,\nso that they clash and descend in rain.(579)\n\n(M184) The Cora Indians of Mexico celebrate a festival of sowing shortly\nbefore they commit the seed of the maize to the ground. ",
"The festival falls\nin June, because that is the month when the rainy season sets in,\nsupplying the moisture needed for the growth of the maize. ",
"At the festival\ntwo old women, who represent the goddesses of sowing, dance side by side\nand imitate the process of sowing by digging holes in the earth with long\nsticks and inserting the seed of the maize in the holes; whereupon a man\nwho represents the Morning Star pours water on the buried seeds. ",
"This\nsolemn dance is accompanied by the singing of an appropriate hymn, which\nmay be compared to the song of the Arval Brothers in ancient Rome.(580)\n\n(M185) We have seen that in many parts of Germany, Austria, and France the\npeasants are still, or were till lately, accustomed to dance and leap high\nin order that the crops may grow tall. ",
"Such leaps and dances are sometimes\nperformed by the sower immediately before or after he sows the seed; but\noften they are executed by the people on a fixed day of the year, which in\nsome places is Twelfth Night (the sixth of January), or Candlemas (the\nsecond of February) or Walpurgis Night, that is, the Eve of May Day; but\napparently the favourite season for these performances is the last day of\nthe Carnival, namely Shrove Tuesday.(581) In such cases the leaps and\ndances are performed by every man for his own behoof; he skips and jumps\nmerely in order that his own corn, or flax, or hemp may spring up and\nthrive. ",
"But sometimes in modern Europe, as (if I am right) in ancient\nRome, the duty of dancing for the crops was committed to bands or troops\nof men, who cut their capers for the benefit of the whole community. ",
"For\nexample, at Grub, in the Swiss canton of the Grisons (Graubuenden), the\npractice used to be as follows. \"",
"The peasants of Grub,\" we are informed,\n\"have still some hereditary customs, in that they assembled in some years,\nmostly at the time of the summer solstice, disguised themselves as maskers\nso as to be unrecognizable, armed themselves with weapons defensive and\noffensive, took every man a great club or cudgel, marched in a troop\ntogether from one village to another, and executed high leaps and strange\nantics. ",
"They ran full tilt at each other, struck every man his fellow with\nall his might, so that the blow resounded, and clashed their great staves\nand cudgels. ",
"Hence they were called by the country folk the _Stopfer_.",
"\nThese foolish pranks they played from a superstitious notion that their\ncorn would thrive the better; but now they have left off, and these\n_Stopfer_ are no longer in any repute.\" ",
"Another authority, after\ndescribing the custom, remarks: \"With this custom was formerly connected\nthe belief that its observance brought a fruitful year.",
"\"(582)\n\n(M186) In the Austrian provinces of Salzburg and Tyrol bands of mummers\nwearing grotesque masks, with bells jingling on their persons, and\ncarrying long sticks or poles in their hands, used formerly to run and\nleap about on certain days of the year for the purpose of procuring good\ncrops. ",
"They were called _Perchten_, a name derived from Perchta, Berchta,\nor Percht, a mythical old woman, whether goddess or elf, who is well known\nall over South Germany; Mrs. Perchta (_Frau Perchta_), as they call her,\nis to be met with in Elsace, Swabia, Bavaria, Austria, and Switzerland,\nbut nowhere, perhaps, so commonly as in Salzburg and the Tyrol. ",
"In the\nTyrol she appears as a little old woman with a very wrinkled face, bright\nlively eyes, and a long hooked nose; her hair is dishevelled, her garments\ntattered and torn. ",
"Hence they say to a slatternly wench, \"You are a\nregular Perchta.\" ",
"She goes about especially during the twelve days from\nChristmas to Twelfth Night (Epiphany), above all on the Eve of Twelfth\nNight, which is often called Perchta's Day. ",
"Many precautions must be\nobserved during these mystic days in order not to incur her displeasure,\nfor she is mischievous to man and beast. ",
"If she appears in the byre, a\ndistemper breaks out among the cows. ",
"That is why during these days the\nbyres must be kept very clean and straw laid on the threshold; otherwise\nyou will find bald patches on your sheep and goats next morning, and next\nsummer the hair which has been filched from the animals will descend in\nhail-stones from the sky. ",
"Old Mrs. Perchta also keeps a very sharp eye on\nspinners during the twelve days; she inspects all distaffs and\nspinning-wheels in the houses, and if she finds any flax or tow unspun on\nthem, she tears it to bits, and she does not spare the lazy spinner, for\nshe scratches her and smacks her fingers so that they bear the marks of it\nfor the rest of her life. ",
"Indeed she sometimes does much more; for she\nrips up the belly of the sluggard and stuffs it with flax. ",
"That is the\npunishment with which a Bavarian mother will threaten an idle jade of a\ngirl who has left some flax on her distaff on New Year's Eve. ",
"However,\nthey say in Bavaria that if you only eat plenty of the rich juicy cakes\nwhich are baked for Mrs. Perchta on her day, the old woman's knife will\nglance off your body without making any impression on it. ",
"Perchta often\ncomes not alone but attended by many little children, who follow her as\nchickens waddle after the mother hen; and if you should see any little\nchild lagging behind the rest and blubbering, you may be quite sure that\nthat child has been baptized. ",
"On the Eve of Twelfth Night everybody should\neat pancakes baked of meal and milk or water. ",
"If anybody does not do so,\nold Mrs. Perchta comes and slits up his stomach, takes out the other food,\nfills up the vacuity so created with a tangled skein and bricks, and then\nsews up the orifice neatly, using, singularly enough, a ploughshare for a\nneedle and an iron chain for thread. ",
"In other or the same places she does\nthe same thing to anybody who does not eat herrings and dumplings on\nTwelfth Night. ",
"Some say that she rides on the storm like the Wild\nHuntsman, followed by a boisterous noisy pack, and carrying off people\ninto far countries. ",
"Yet withal old Mrs. Perchta has her redeeming\nqualities. ",
"Good children who spin diligently and learn their lessons she\nrewards with nuts and sugar plums. ",
"It has even been affirmed that she\nmakes the ploughed land fruitful and causes the cattle to thrive. ",
"When a\nmist floats over the fields, the peasants see her figure gliding along in\na white mantle. ",
"On the Eve of Twelfth Night good people leave the remains\nof their supper for her on the table, and when they have gone to bed and\nall is quiet in the house, she comes in the likeness of an old wizened\nlittle woman, with all the children about her, and partakes of the broken\nvictuals. ",
"But woe to the prying wight who peeps at her through the\nkey-hole! ",
"Many a man has been blinded by her for a whole year as a\npunishment for his ill-timed curiosity.(583)\n\n(M187) The processions of maskers who took their name of _Perchten_ from\nthis quaint creation of the popular fancy were known as _Perchten_-running\nor _Perchten_-leaping from the runs and leaps which the men took in their\nwild headlong course through the streets and over the fields. ",
"They appear\nto have been held in all the Alpine regions of Germany, but are best known\nto us in the Tyrol and Salzburg. ",
"The appropriate season for the\ncelebration of the rite was Perchta's Day, that is, Twelfth Night or\nEpiphany, the sixth of January, but in some places it was held on Shrove\nTuesday, the last day of the Carnival, the very day when many farmers of\nCentral Europe jump to make the crops grow tall. ",
"Corresponding to the\ndouble character of Perchta as a power for good and evil, the maskers are\ndivided into two sets known respectively as the Beautiful and the Ugly\n_Perchten_. ",
"At Lienz in the Tyrol, where the maskers made their appearance\non Shrove Tuesday, the Beautiful _Perchten_ were decked with ribbons,\ngalloons, and so forth, while the ugly _Perchten_ made themselves as\nhideous as they could by hanging rats and mice, chains and bells about\ntheir persons. ",
"All wore on their heads tall pointed caps with bells\nattached to them; their faces were concealed by masks, and in their hands\nthey all carried long sticks. ",
"The sticks of the Beautiful _Perchten_ were\nadorned with ribbons; those of the Ugly _Perchten_ ended in the heads of\ndevils. ",
"Thus equipped they leaped and ran about the streets and went into\nthe houses. ",
"Amongst them was a clown who blew ashes and soot in people's\nfaces through a blow-pipe. ",
"It was all very merry and frolicsome, except\nwhen \"the wild Perchta\" herself came, invisible to ordinary eyes, upon the\nscene. ",
"Then her namesakes the _Perchten_ grew wild and furious too; they\nscattered and fled for their lives to the nearest house, for as soon as\nthey got under the gutter of a roof they were safe. ",
"But if she caught\nthem, she tore them in pieces. ",
"To this day you may see the graves where\nthe mangled bodies of her victims lie buried. ",
"When no such interruption\ntook place, the noisy rout of maskers rushed madly about, with jingling\nbells and resounding cracks of whips, entering the houses, dancing here,\ndrinking there, teasing wayfarers, or racing from village to village like\nthe Wild Hunt itself in the sky; till at the close of the winter day the\nchurch bells rang the _Ave Maria_. ",
"Then at last the wild uproar died away\ninto silence. ",
"Such tumultuous masquerades were thought to be very\nbeneficial to the crops; a bad harvest would be set down to the omission\nof the _Perchten_ to skip and jump about in their usual fashion.(584)\n\n(M188) In the province of Salzburg the _Perchten_ mummers are also divided\ninto two sets, the Beautiful _Perchten_ and the Ugly _Perchten_. ",
"The Ugly\n_Perchten_ are properly speaking twelve young men dressed in black\nsheepskins and wearing hoods of badger-skins and grotesque wooden masks,\nwhich represent either coarse human features with long teeth and horns, or\nelse the features of fabulous animals with beaks and bristles or movable\njaws. ",
"They all carry bells, both large and small, fastened to broad\nleathern girdles. ",
"The procession was headed by a man with a big drum, and\nafter him came lads bearing huge torches and lanterns fastened to tall\npoles; for in Salzburg or some parts of it these mummers played their\npranks by night. ",
"Behind the torchbearers came two Fools, a male and a\nfemale, the latter acted by a lad in woman's clothes. ",
"The male Fool\ncarried a sausage-like roll, with which he struck at all women or girls of\nhis acquaintance when they shewed themselves at the open doors or windows.",
"\nAlong with the _Perchten_ themselves went a train of young fellows\ncracking whips, blowing horns, or jingling bells. ",
"The ways might be miry\nand the night pitch dark, but with flaring lights the procession swept\nrapidly by, the men leaping along with the help of their long sticks and\nwaking the echoes of the slumbering valley by their loud uproar. ",
"From time\nto time they stopped at a farm, danced and cut their capers before the\nhouse, for which they were rewarded by presents of food and strong drink;\nto offer them money would have been an insult. ",
"By midnight the performance\ncame to an end, and the tired maskers dispersed to their homes.",
"\n\n(M189) The Beautiful _Perchten_ in Salzburg are attired very differently\nfrom the Ugly _Perchten_, but their costume varies with the district. ",
"Thus\nin the Pongau district the distinctive feature of their costume is a tall\nand heavy framework covered with bright red cloth and decorated with a\nprofusion of silver jewelry and filagree work. ",
"This framework is sometimes\nnine or ten feet high and forty or fifty pounds in weight. ",
"The performer\ncarries it above his head by means of iron supports resting on his\nshoulders or his back. ",
"To run or jump under the weight of such an\nencumbrance is impossible; the dancer has to content himself with turning\nround and round slowly and clumsily. ",
"Very different is the headdress of\nthe Beautiful _Perchten_ in the Pinzgau district of Salzburg. ",
"There the\nperformers are dressed in scarlet and wear straw hats, from which bunches\nof white feathers, arranged like fans, nod and flutter in the wind. ",
"Red\nshoes and white stockings complete their attire. ",
"Thus lightly equipped\nthey hop and jump and stamp briskly in the dance. ",
"Unlike their Ugly\nnamesakes, who seem now to be extinct, the Beautiful _Perchten_ still\nparade from time to time among the peasantry of the Salzburg highlands;\nbut the intervals between their appearances are irregular, varying from\nfour to seven years or more. ",
"Unlike the Ugly _Perchten_, they wear no\nmasks and appear in full daylight, always on Perchta's Day (Twelfth Night,\nthe sixth of January) and the two following Sundays. ",
"They are attended by\na train of followers who make a great din with bells, whips, pipes, horns,\nrattles, and chains. ",
"Amongst them one or two clowns, clothed in white and\nwearing tall pointed hats of white felt with many jingling bells attached\nto them, play a conspicuous part. ",
"They carry each a sausage-shaped roll\nstuffed with tow, and with this instrument they strike lightly such women\nand girls among the spectators as they desire particularly to favour.",
"\nAnother attendant carries the effigy of a baby in swaddling bands, made of\nlinen rags, and fastened to a string; this effigy he throws at women and\ngirls and then pulls back again, but he does this only to women and girls\nwhom he respects and to whom he wishes well. ",
"At St. Johann the _Perchten_\ncarry drawn swords; each is attended by a lad dressed as a woman; and they\nare followed by men clad in black sheepskins, wearing the masks of devils,\nand holding chains in their hands.(585)\n\n(M190) What is the meaning of the quaint performances still enacted by the\n_Perchten_ and their attendants in the Austrian highlands? ",
"The subject has\nbeen carefully investigated by a highly competent enquirer, Mrs.\nAndree-Eysn. ",
"She has visited the districts, witnessed the performances,\ncollected information, and studied the costumes. ",
"It may be well to quote\nher conclusion: \"If we enquire into the inner meaning which underlies the\n_Perchten_-race and kindred processions, we must confess that it is not at\nfirst sight obvious, and that the original meaning appears blurred and\nindistinct. ",
"Nevertheless from many features which they present in common\nit can be demonstrated that the processions were held for the purpose of\ndriving away demons and had for their object to promote fertility. ",
"In\nfavour of this view it may be urged, first of all, that their appearance\nis everywhere greeted with joy, because it promises fertility and a good\nharvest. '",
"It is a good year,' they say in Salzburg. ",
"If the processions are\nprevented from taking place, dearth and a bad harvest are to be\napprehended. ",
"The peasants of the Tyrol still believe that the more\n_Perchten_ run about, the better will the year be, and therefore they\ntreat them to brandy and cakes. ",
"In Lienz, when the harvest turns out ill,\nthey say that they omitted to let the _Perchten_ run over the fields, and\nfor that reason the peasant in the Sarn valley gets the _Perchten_ to leap\nabout on his fields, for then there will be a good year.",
"\n\n\"If fertility and blessing are to be poured out on field, house, and\nhomestead, it is obvious that everything that could hinder or harm must be\naverted and driven away. ",
"When we consider how even at the present time,\nand still more in times gone by, much that is harmful is attributed to the\nmalevolence of invisible powers, we can readily understand why people\nshould resort to measures which they deem effective for the purpose of\ndisarming these malevolent beings. ",
"Now it is a common belief that certain\nmasks possess the virtue of banning demons, and that loud noise and din\nare a means of keeping off evil spirits or hindering their activity. ",
"In\nthe procession of the _Perchten_ we see the principle of the banishment of\nevil carried out in practice. ",
"The people attack the evil spirits and seek\nto chase them away by putting on frightful masks, with which they confront\nthe demon. ",
"For one sort of malevolent spirits one kind of mask appears\nsuitable, and for another another; this spirit is daunted by this mask,\nand that spirit by that; and so they came to discriminate. ",
"Originally,\nparticular masks may have been used against particular evil spirits, but\nin course of time they were confused, the individual taste of the maker of\nthe mask counted for something, and so gradually it resulted in carving\nall kinds of horrible, fantastic, and hideous masks which had nothing in\ncommon but their general tendency to frighten away all evil spirits.",
"\"(586)\n\n(M191) In support of her view that the procession of the _Perchten_ aims\nchiefly at banishing demons who might otherwise blight the crops, Mrs.\nAndree-Eysn lays stress on the bells which figure so prominently in the\ncostume of these maskers; for the sound of bells, as she reminds us, is\ncommonly believed to be a potent means of driving evil spirits away. ",
"The\nnotion is too familiar to call for proof,(587) but a single case from\nCentral Africa may be cited as an illustration. ",
"The Teso people, who\ninhabit a land of rolling plains between Mount Elgon and Lake Kioga, \"make\nuse of bells to exorcise the storm fiend; a person who has been injured by\na flash or in the resulting fire wears bells round his ankles for weeks\nafterwards. ",
"Whenever rain threatens, and rain in Uganda almost always\ncomes in company with thunder and lightning, this person will parade the\nvillage for an hour, with the jingling bells upon his legs and a wand of\npapyrus in his hand, attended by as many of his family as may happen to be\nat hand and not employed in necessary duties.",
"\"(588) The resemblance of\nsuch men, with their bells and wands, to the Austrian _Perchten_ with\ntheir bells and wands is, on the theory in question, fairly close; both of\nthem go about to dispel demons by the sound of their bells and probably\nalso by the blows of their rods. ",
"Whatever may be thought of their efficacy\nin banning fiends, certain it is that in the Tyrol, where the _Perchten_\nplay their pranks, the chime of bells is used for the express purpose of\ncausing the grass to grow in spring. ",
"Thus in the lower valley of the Inn,\nespecially at Schwaz, on the twenty-fourth of April (there reckoned St.\nGeorge's Day) troops of young fellows go about ringing bells, some of\nwhich they hold in their hands, while others are attached to their\npersons; and the peasants say, \"Wherever the Grass-ringers come, there the\ngrass grows well, and the corn bears abundant fruit.\" ",
"Hence the\nbell-ringers are welcomed and treated wherever they go. ",
"Formerly, it is\nsaid, they wore masks, like the _Perchten_, but afterwards they contented\nthemselves with blackening their faces with soot.(589) In other parts of\nthe Tyrol the bell-ringing processions take place at the Carnival, but\ntheir object is the same; for \"it is believed that by this noisy\nprocession growth in general, but especially the growth of the meadows, is\npromoted.",
"\"(590) Again, at Bergell, in the Swiss canton of the Grisons,\nchildren go in procession on the first of March ringing bells, \"in order\nthat the grass may grow.",
"\"(591) So in Hildesheim, on the afternoon of\nAscension Day, young girls ascend the church tower and ring all the church\nbells, \"in order that they may get a good harvest of flax; the girl who,\nhanging on to the bell-rope, is swung highest by the swing of the bell,\nwill get the longest flax.",
"\"(592) Here the sound of the bells as a means of\npromoting the growth of the flax is reinforced by the upward swing of the\nbell, which, carrying with it the bell-ringer at the end of the rope,\nnaturally causes the flax in like manner to rise high in the air. ",
"It is a\nsimple piece of imitative magic, like the leaps and bounds which the\npeasants of Central Europe often execute for precisely the same purpose.",
"\nOnce more, in various parts of the Tyrol on Senseless Thursday, which is\nthe last Thursday in Carnival, young men in motley attire, with whips and\nbrooms, run about cracking their whips and making believe to sweep away\nthe onlookers with their brooms. ",
"They are called _Huttler_ or _Huddler_.",
"\nThe people say that if these fellows do not run about, the flax will not\nthrive, and that on the contrary the more of them run about, the better\nwill the flax grow. ",
"And where there are many of them, there will be much\nmaize.(593) In this custom the cracking of the whips may be supposed to\nserve the same purpose as the ringing of the bells by frightening and\nbanishing the demons of infertility and dearth. ",
"About Hall, in the\nnorthern Tyrol, the ceremony of the _Hudel_-running, as it is called, is\nor used to be as follows. ",
"A peasant-farmer, generally well-to-do and\nrespected, rigs himself out in motley and hides his face under a mask;\nround his waist he wears a girdle crammed with rolls, while in his hand he\nwields a long whip, from which more than fifty cracknels dangle on a\nstring. ",
"Thus arrayed he suddenly bursts from the ale-house door into the\npublic view, solicited thereto by the cries of the street urchins, who\nhave been anxiously waiting for his appearance. ",
"He throws amongst them the\nstring of cracknels, and while they are scrambling for these dainties, he\nlays on to them most liberally with his whip. ",
"Having faithfully discharged\nthis public duty, he marches down between rows of peasants, who have\nmeantime taken up their position in a long street. ",
"Amongst them he picks\nout one who is to run before him. ",
"The man selected for the honour\naccordingly takes to his heels, hotly pursued by the other with the whip,\nwho lashes the feet of the fugitive till he comes up with him. ",
"Having run\nhim down, he leads him back to the alehouse, where he treats him to a roll\nand a glass of wine. ",
"After that the masker runs a similar race with\nanother man; and so it goes on, one race after another, till the sun sets.",
"\nThen the mummer doffs his mask and leads the dance in the alehouse. ",
"The\nobject of these races is said to be to ensure a good crop of flax and\nmaize.(594)\n\n(M192) In these races of mummers, whether known as _Perchten_ or\n_Huttler_, there are certain features which it is difficult to explain on\nthe theory that the aim of the performers is simply to drive away demons,\nand that the hideous masks which they assume have no other intention than\nthat of frightening these uncanny beings. ",
"For observe that in the last\nexample the blows of the whip fall not on the airy swarms of invisible\nspirits, but on the solid persons of street urchins and sturdy yokels, who\ncan hardly be supposed to receive the chastisement vicariously for the\ndemons. ",
"Again, what are we to make of the rolls and cracknels with which\nin this case the mummer is laden, and which he distributes among his\nvictims, as if to console them in one part of their person for the pain\nwhich he has inflicted on another? ",
"Surely this bounty seems to invest him\nwith something more than the purely negative character of an exorciser of\nevil; it appears to raise him to the positive character of a dispenser of\ngood. ",
"The same remark applies to the action of the _Perchten_ who strike\nwomen lightly, as a mark of friendship and regard, with the sausage-like\nrolls which they carry in their hands, or throw them, as a mark of favour,\nthe effigy of a baby. ",
"The only probable explanation of these practices, as\nMrs. Andree-Eysn rightly points out, is that the mummers thereby intend to\nfertilize the women whom they honour by these attentions.(595) Here,\nagain, therefore the maskers appear as the actual dispensers of good, the\nbestowers of fruitfulness, not merely the averters of evil. ",
"If that is so,\nwe seem bound to infer that these masked men represent or embody the\nspirits who quicken the seed both in the earth and in the wombs of women.",
"\nThat was the view of W. Mannhardt, the highest authority on the\nagricultural superstitions of European peasantry. ",
"After reviewing these\nand many more similar processions, he concludes that if the comparison\nwhich he has instituted between them holds good, all these various mummers\n\"were intended by the original founders of the processions to represent\ndemons of vegetation, who by their mere appearance and cries drove away\nthe powers that hinder growth and woke to new life the slumbering spirits\nof the grasses and corn-stalks.",
"\"(596) Thus Mannhardt admitted that these\nnoisy processions of masked men are really supposed to dispel the evil\nspirits of blight and infertility, while at the same time he held that the\nmen themselves originally personated vegetation-spirits. ",
"And he thought it\nprobable that the original significance of these performances was in later\ntimes misunderstood and interpreted as a simple expulsion of witches and\nother uncanny beings that haunt the fields.(597)\n\n(M193) On the whole this conclusion of an enquirer remarkable for a rare\ncombination of learning, sobriety, and insight, is perhaps the most\nprobable that can now be reached with the evidence at our disposal. ",
"It is\nconfirmed by some of the savage masquerades in which the maskers\ndefinitely represent spirits of fertility in order to promote the\nfruitfulness of the earth and of women;(598) and it is supported by the\nevidence of many other rustic mummeries in Europe, for example, by the\nEnglish rites of Plough Monday, in which the dancers, or rather jumpers,\nwho wore bunches of corn in their hats as they leaped into the air, are\nmost naturally interpreted as agents or representatives of the\ncorn-spirit.(599) It is, therefore, worth observing that in some places\nthe dancers of Plough Monday, who attended the plough in its\nperegrinations through the streets and fields, are described as\nmorris-dancers.(600) If the description is correct, it implies that they\nhad bells attached to their costume, which would further assimilate them\nto the _Perchten_ and other masqueraders of Central Europe; for the chief\ncharacteristic of the morris-dance is that the performers wear bells\nfastened to their legs which jingle at every step.(601) We may suppose\nthat if the men who ran and capered beside the plough on Plough Monday\nreally wore bells, the original intention of this appendage to their\ncostume was either to dispel the demons who might hinder the growth of the\ncorn, or to waken the spirits of vegetation from their long winter sleep.",
"\nIn favour of the view which sees in all these dances and mummeries rather\nthe banishment of what is evil than the direct promotion of what is good,\nit may be urged that some of the dancers wear swords,(602) a weapon which\ncertainly seems better fitted to combat demons than to prune fruit-trees\nor turn up the sod. ",
"Further, it deserves to be noted that many of the\nperformances take place either on Twelfth Day or, like the celebration of\nPlough Monday, very shortly after it; and that in the Lord of Misrule, who\nreigned from Christmas to Twelfth Day,(603) we have a clear trace of one\nof those periods of general licence and suspension of ordinary government,\nwhich so commonly occur at the end of the old year or the beginning of the\nnew one in connexion with a general expulsion of evils.",
"\n\n(M194) Surveying these masquerades and processions, as they have been or\nstill are celebrated in modern Europe, we may say in general that they\nappear to have been originally intended both to stimulate the growth of\nvegetation in spring and to expel the demoniac or other evil influences\nwhich were thought to have accumulated during the preceding winter or\nyear; and that these two motives of stimulation and expulsion, blended and\nperhaps confused together, appear to explain the quaint costumes of the\nmummers, the multitudinous noises which they make, and the blows which\nthey direct either at invisible foes or at the visible and tangible\npersons of their fellows. ",
"In the latter case the beating may be supposed\nto serve as a means of forcibly freeing the sufferers from the demons or\nother evil things that cling to them unseen.",
"\n\n(M195) To apply these conclusions to the Roman custom of expelling\nMamurius Veturius or \"the Old Mars\" every year in spring, we may say that\nthey lend some support to the theory which sees in \"the Old Mars\" the\noutworn deity of vegetation driven away to make room, either for a younger\nand more vigorous personification of vernal life, or perhaps for the\nreturn of the same deity refreshed and renovated by the treatment to which\nhe had been subjected, and particularly by the vigorous application of the\nrod to his sacred person. ",
"For, as we shall see presently, King Solomon was\nby no means singular in his opinion of the refreshing influence of a sound\nthrashing. ",
"So far as \"the Old Mars\" was supposed to carry away with him\nthe accumulated weaknesses and other evils of the past year, so far would\nhe serve as a public scapegoat, like the effigy in the Slavonic custom of\n\"Carrying out Death,\" which appears not only to represent the\nvegetation-spirit of the past year, but also to act as a scapegoat,\ncarrying away with it a heavy load of suffering, misfortune, and death.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 2. ",
"The Human Scapegoat in Ancient Greece.",
"\n\n\n(M196) The ancient Greeks were also familiar with the use of a human\nscapegoat. ",
"In Plutarch's native town of Chaeronea a ceremony of this kind\nwas performed by the chief magistrate at the Town Hall, and by each\nhouseholder at his own home. ",
"It was called the \"expulsion of hunger.\" ",
"A\nslave was beaten with rods of the _agnus castus_, and turned out of doors\nwith the words, \"Out with hunger, and in with wealth and health.\" ",
"When\nPlutarch held the office of chief magistrate of his native town he\nperformed this ceremony at the Town Hall, and he has recorded the\ndiscussion to which the custom afterwards gave rise.(604) The ceremony\nclosely resembles the Japanese, Hindoo, and Highland customs already\ndescribed.(605)\n\n(M197) But in civilized Greece the custom of the scapegoat took darker\nforms than the innocent rite over which the amiable and pious Plutarch\npresided. ",
"Whenever Marseilles, one of the busiest and most brilliant of\nGreek colonies, was ravaged by a plague, a man of the poorer classes used\nto offer himself as a scapegoat. ",
"For a whole year he was maintained at the\npublic expense, being fed on choice and pure food. ",
"At the expiry of the\nyear he was dressed in sacred garments, decked with holy branches, and led\nthrough the whole city, while prayers were uttered that all the evils of\nthe people might fall on his head. ",
"He was then cast out of the city or\nstoned to death by the people outside of the walls.(606) The Athenians\nregularly maintained a number of degraded and useless beings at the public\nexpense; and when any calamity, such as plague, drought, or famine, befell\nthe city, they sacrificed two of these outcasts as scapegoats. ",
"One of the\nvictims was sacrificed for the men and the other for the women. ",
"The former\nwore round his neck a string of black, the latter a string of white figs.",
"\nSometimes, it seems, the victim slain on behalf of the women was a woman.",
"\nThey were led about the city and then sacrificed, apparently by being\nstoned to death outside the city.(607) But such sacrifices were not\nconfined to extraordinary occasions of public calamity; it appears that\nevery year, at the festival of the Thargelia in May, two victims, one for\nthe men and one for the women, were led out of Athens and stoned to\ndeath.(608) The city of Abdera in Thrace was publicly purified once a\nyear, and one of the burghers, set apart for the purpose, was stoned to\ndeath as a scapegoat or vicarious sacrifice for the life of all the\nothers; six days before his execution he was excommunicated, \"in order\nthat he alone might bear the sins of all the people.",
"\"(609)\n\n(M198) From the Lover's Leap, a white bluff at the southern end of their\nisland, the Leucadians used annually to hurl a criminal into the sea as a\nscapegoat. ",
"But to lighten his fall they fastened live birds and feathers\nto him, and a flotilla of small boats waited below to catch him and convey\nhim beyond the boundary. ",
"Probably these humane precautions were a\nmitigation of an earlier custom of flinging the scapegoat into the sea to\ndrown, just as in Kumaon the custom of letting a man slide down a rope\nfrom the top of a cliff appears to be a modification of an older practice\nof putting him to death. ",
"The Leucadian ceremony took place at the time of\na sacrifice to Apollo, who had a temple or sanctuary on the spot.(610)\nElsewhere it was customary to cast a young man every year into the sea,\nwith the prayer, \"Be thou our offscouring.\" ",
"This ceremony was supposed to\nrid the people of the evils by which they were beset, or according to a\nsomewhat different interpretation it redeemed them by paying the debt they\nowed to the sea-god.(611) As practised by the Greeks of Asia Minor in the\nsixth century before our era, the custom of the scapegoat was as follows.",
"\nWhen a city suffered from plague, famine, or other public calamity, an\nugly or deformed person was chosen to take upon himself all the evils\nwhich afflicted the community. ",
"He was brought to a suitable place, where\ndried figs, a barley loaf, and cheese were put into his hand. ",
"These he\nate. ",
"Then he was beaten seven times upon his genital organs with squills\nand branches of the wild fig and other wild trees, while the flutes played\na particular tune. ",
"Afterwards he was burned on a pyre built of the wood of\nforest trees; and his ashes were cast into the sea.(612) A similar custom\nappears to have been annually celebrated by the Asiatic Greeks at the\nharvest festival of the Thargelia.(613)\n\n(M199) In the ritual just described the scourging of the victim with\nsquills, branches of the wild fig, and so forth, cannot have been intended\nto aggravate his sufferings, otherwise any stick would have been good\nenough to beat him with. ",
"The true meaning of this part of the ceremony has\nbeen explained by W. Mannhardt.(614) He points out that the ancients\nattributed to squills a magical power of averting evil influences, and\nthat accordingly they hung them up at the doors of their houses and made\nuse of them in purificatory rites.(615) Hence the Arcadian custom of\nwhipping the image of Pan with squills at a festival, or whenever the\nhunters returned empty-handed,(616) must have been meant, not to punish\nthe god, but to purify him from the harmful influences which were impeding\nhim in the exercise of his divine functions as a god who should supply the\nhunter with game. ",
"Similarly the object of beating the human scapegoat on\nthe genital organs with squills and so on, must have been to release his\nreproductive energies from any restraint or spell under which they might\nbe laid by demoniacal or other malignant agency; and as the Thargelia at\nwhich he was annually sacrificed was an early harvest festival celebrated\nin May,(617) we must recognize in him a representative of the creative and\nfertilizing god of vegetation. ",
"The representative of the god was annually\nslain for the purpose I have indicated, that of maintaining the divine\nlife in perpetual vigour, untainted by the weakness of age; and before he\nwas put to death it was not unnatural to stimulate his reproductive powers\nin order that these might be transmitted in full activity to his\nsuccessor, the new god or new embodiment of the old god, who was doubtless\nsupposed immediately to take the place of the one slain.(618) Similar\nreasoning would lead to a similar treatment of the scapegoat on special\noccasions, such as drought or famine. ",
"If the crops did not answer to the\nexpectation of the husbandman, this would be attributed to some failure in\nthe generative powers of the god whose function it was to produce the\nfruits of the earth. ",
"It might be thought that he was under a spell or was\ngrowing old and feeble. ",
"Accordingly he was slain in the person of his\nrepresentative, with all the ceremonies already described, in order that,\nborn young again, he might infuse his own youthful vigour into the\nstagnant energies of nature. ",
"On the same principle we can understand why\nMamurius Veturius was beaten with rods, why the slave at the Chaeronean\nceremony was beaten with the _agnus castus_ (a tree to which magical\nproperties were ascribed),(619) why the effigy of Death in some parts of\nEurope is assailed with sticks and stones,(620) and why at Babylon the\ncriminal who played the god was scourged before he was crucified.(621) The\npurpose of the scourging was not to intensify the agony of the divine\nsufferer, but on the contrary to dispel any malignant influences by which\nat the supreme moment he might conceivably be beset.",
"\n\n(M200) Thus far I have assumed that the human victims at the Thargelia\nrepresented the spirits of vegetation in general,(622) but it has been\nwell remarked by Mr. W. R. Paton that these poor wretches seem to have\nmasqueraded as the spirits of fig-trees in particular. ",
"He points out that\nthe process of caprification, as it is called, that is, the artificial\nfertilization of the cultivated fig-trees by hanging strings of wild figs\namong the boughs, takes place in Greece and Asia Minor in June about a\nmonth after the date of the Thargelia, and he suggests that the hanging of\nthe black and white figs round the necks of the two human victims, one of\nwhom represented the men and the other the women, may have been a direct\nimitation of the process of caprification designed, on the principle of\nimitative magic, to assist the fertilization of the fig-trees. ",
"And since\ncaprification is in fact a marriage of the male fig-tree with the female\nfig-tree, Mr. Paton further supposes that the loves of the trees may, on\nthe same principle of imitative magic, have been simulated by a mock or\neven a real marriage between the two human victims, one of whom appears\nsometimes to have been a woman. ",
"On this view the practice of beating the\nhuman victims on their genitals with branches of wild fig-trees and with\nsquills was a charm intended to stimulate the generative powers of the man\nand woman who for the time being personated the male and the female\nfig-trees respectively, and who by their union in marriage, whether real\nor pretended, were believed to help the trees to bear fruit.(623)\n\n(M201) The theory is ingenious and attractive; and to some extent it is\nborne out by the Roman celebration of the _Nonae Caprotinae_, which I have\ndescribed in an earlier part of this work.(624) For on the _Nonae\nCaprotinae_, the ninth of July, the female slaves, in the attire of free\nwomen, feasted under a wild fig-tree, cut a rod from the tree, beat each\nother, perhaps with the rod, and offered the milky juice of the tree to\nthe goddess Juno Caprotina, whose surname seems to point her out as the\ngoddess of the wild fig-tree (_caprificus_). ",
"Here the rites performed in\nJuly by women under the wild fig-tree, which the ancients rightly regarded\nas a male and employed to fertilize the cultivated female fig-tree, can\nhardly be dissociated from the caprification or artificial marriage of the\nfig-trees which, according to Columella, was best performed in July; and\nif the blows which the women gave each other on this occasion were\nadministered, as seems highly probable, by the rod which they cut from the\nwild fig-tree, the parallel between the Roman and the Greek ceremony would\nbe still closer; since the Greeks, as we saw, beat the genitals of the\nhuman victims with branches of wild fig-trees. ",
"It is true that the human\nsacrifices, which formed so prominent a feature in the Greek celebration\nof the Thargelia, do not figure in the Roman celebration of the _Nonae\nCaprotinae_ within historical times; yet a trace of them may perhaps be\ndetected in the tradition that Romulus himself mysteriously disappeared on\nthat very day in the midst of a tremendous thunder-storm, while he was\nreviewing his army outside the walls of Rome at the Goat's Marsh (\"_ad\nCaprae paludem_\"), a name which suggests that the place was not far\ndistant from the wild fig-tree or the goat-fig (_caprificus_), as the\nRomans called it, where the slave women performed their curious\nceremonies. ",
"The legend that he was cut in pieces by the patricians, who\ncarried away the morsels of his body under their robes and buried them in\nthe earth,(625) exactly describes the treatment which the Khonds used to\naccord to the bodies of the human victims for the purpose of fertilizing\ntheir fields.(626) Can the king have played at Rome the same fatal part in\nthe fertilization of fig-trees which, if Mr. Paton is right, was played in\nGreece by the male victim? ",
"The traditionary time, place, and manner of his\ndeath all suggest it. ",
"So many coincidences between the Greek and Roman\nceremonies and traditions can hardly be wholly accidental; and accordingly\nI incline to think that there may well be an element of truth in Mr.\nPaton's theory, though it must be confessed that the ancient writers who\ndescribe the Greek custom appear to regard it merely as a purification of\nthe city and not at all as a mode of fertilizing fig-trees.(627) In\nsimilar ceremonies, which combine the elements of purification and\nfertilization, the notion of purification apparently tends gradually to\novershadow the notion of fertilization in the minds of those who practise\nthe rites. ",
"It seems to have been so in the case of the annual expulsion of\nMamurius Veturius from ancient Rome and in the parallel processions of the\n_Perchten_ in modern Europe; it may have been so also in the case of the\nhuman sacrifices at the Thargelia.(628)\n\n(M202) The interpretation which I have adopted of the custom of beating\nthe human scapegoat with certain plants is supported by many analogies. ",
"We\nhave already met with examples of a practice of beating sick people with\nthe leaves of certain plants or with branches in order to rid them of\nnoxious influences.(629) Some of the Dravidian tribes of Northern India,\nwho attribute epilepsy, hysteria, and similar maladies to demoniacal\npossession, endeavour to cure the sufferer by thrashing him soundly with a\nsacred iron chain, which is believed to have the effect of immediately\nexpelling the demon.(630) When a herd of camels refuses to drink, the\nArabs will sometimes beat the male beasts on the back to drive away the\njinn who are riding them and frightening the females.(631) In Bikol, the\nsouth-western part of Luzon, it was generally believed that if the evil\nspirit Aswang were not properly exorcised he took possession of the bodies\nof the dead and tormented them. ",
"Hence to deliver a corpse from his\nclutches the native priestesses used to beat it with a brush or whisk made\nof the leaves of the aromatic China orange, while they chanted a certain\nsong, throwing their bodies into contortions and uttering shrill cries, as\nif the evil spirit had entered into themselves. ",
"The soul of the deceased,\nthus delivered from the cruel tyranny of Aswang, was then free to roam at\npleasure along the charming lanes or in the thick shade of the\nforest.(632)\n\n(M203) Sometimes it appears that a beating is administered for the purpose\nof ridding people of a ghost who may be clinging too closely to their\npersons; in such cases the blows, though they descend on the bodies of the\nliving, are really aimed at the spirit of the dead, and have no other\nobject than to drive it away, just as a coachman will flick the back of a\nhorse with his whip to rid the beast of a fly. ",
"At a funeral in the island\nof Halmahera, before the coffin is lowered into the grave, all the\nrelations whip themselves on the head and shoulders with wands made of\nplants which are believed to possess the power of keeping off evil\nspirits. ",
"The intention of the custom is said to be to bring back their own\nspectres or souls and to prevent them from following the ghost; but this\nmay fairly be interpreted to mean that the blows are directed to brushing\noff the ghost, who would otherwise abstract the soul of the person on\nwhose body he was allowed to settle. ",
"This interpretation is strongly\nconfirmed by the practice, observed by the same people on the same\noccasion, of throwing the trunk of a banana-tree into the grave, and\ntelling the dead man that it is a companion for him; for this practice is\nexpressly intended to prevent the deceased from feeling lonely, and so\ncoming back to fetch away a friend.(633) When Mr. Batchelor returned to a\nhut after visiting the grave of an old Aino woman, her relations brought\nhim a bowl of water to the door and requested him to wash his face and\nhands. ",
"While he did so, the women beat him and brushed him down with\nsacred whittled sticks (_inao_). ",
"On enquiring into the meaning of this\ntreatment, he discovered that it was intended to purify him from all\nuncleanness contracted at the grave through contact with the ghost of the\ndeceased, and that the beating and brushing with the whittled sticks had\nfor its object to drive away all evil influences and diseases with which\nthe ghost of the old woman might have attempted to infect him out of spite\nfor his trespassing on her domain.(634) The Banmanas of Senegambia think\nthat the soul of a dead infant becomes for a time a wandering and\nmaleficent spirit.

"Accordingly when a baby dies, all the uncircumcised\nchildren of the same sex in the village run about the streets in a band,\neach armed with three or four supple rods. ",
"Some of them enter every house\nto beg, and while they are doing so, one of the troop, propping himself\nagainst the wall with his hands, is lashed by another of the children on\nhis back or legs till the blood flows. ",
"Each of the children takes it in\nturn to be thus whipped. ",
"The object of the whipping, we are told, \"appears\nto be to preserve the uncircumcised child from being carried off by its\ncomrade who has just died.",
"\"(635) The severe scourgings inflicted on each\nother by some South American Indians at ceremonies connected with the dead\nmay be similarly intended to chase away the dangerous ghost, who is\nconceived as sticking like a leech or a bur to the skin of the\nliving.(636) The ancient Greeks employed the laurel very commonly as an\ninstrument of ceremonial purification;(637) and from the monuments which\nrepresent the purgation of Orestes from the guilt of matricide(638) it\nseems probable that the regular rite of cleansing a homicide consisted\nessentially in sprinkling him with pig's blood and beating him with a\nlaurel bough, for the purpose, as we may conjecture, of whisking away the\nwrathful ghost of his victim, who was thought to buzz about him like an\nangry wasp in summer. ",
"If that was so, the Greek ritual of purification\nsingularly resembles the Nicobarese ceremony of exorcism; for when a man\nis supposed to be possessed by devils, the Nicobarese rub him all over\nwith pig's blood and beat him with bunches of certain leaves, to which a\nspecial power of exorcising demons is attributed. ",
"As fast as each devil is\nthus disengaged from his person, it is carefully folded up in leaves, to\nbe afterwards thrown into the sea at daybreak.(639)\n\n(M204) At the autumn festival in Peru people used to strike each other\nwith torches, saying, \"Let all harm go away.",
"\"(640) Every year when the\nPleiades reappeared in the sky, the Guaycurus, an Indian nation of the\nGran Chaco, held a festival of rejoicing, at which men, women, and\nchildren all thrashed each other, expecting thereby to procure health,\nabundance, and victory over their enemies.(641) Indians of the Quixos, in\nSouth America, before they set out on a long hunting expedition, cause\ntheir wives to whip them with nettles, believing that this renders them\nfleeter, and helps them to overtake the peccaries. ",
"They resort to the same\nproceeding as a cure for sickness.(642) The Roocooyen Indians of French\nGuiana train up young people in the way they should go by causing them to\nbe stung by ants and wasps; and at the ceremony held for this purpose the\ngrown-up people improve the occasion by allowing themselves to be whacked\nby the chief with a stick over the arms, the legs, and the chest. ",
"They\nappear to labour under an impression that this conveys to them all sorts\nof moral and physical excellences. ",
"One of the tribe, ambitious of\nacquiring the European virtues, begged a French traveller to be so kind as\nto give him a good hiding. ",
"The traveller obligingly did his best to\ngratify him, and the face of the Indian beamed with gratitude as the blows\nfell on his naked back.(643) The Delaware Indians had two sovereign\nremedies for sin; one was an emetic, the other a thrashing. ",
"In the latter\ncase, the remedy was administered by means of twelve different sticks,\nwith which the sinner was belaboured from the soles of his feet up to his\nneck. ",
"In both cases the sins were supposed to be expelled from the body,\nand to pass out through the throat.(644) At the inauguration of a king in\nancient India it was customary for the priests to strike him lightly on\nthe back with sticks. \"",
"By beating him with sticks,\" it was said, \"they\nguide him safely over judicial punishment; whence the king is exempt from\npunishment, because they guide him safely over judicial punishment.",

"After\nthe beating had been duly administered the priest on behalf of the whole\ncommunity prayed for long life, much offspring, power and glory over all\npeoples, and the restoration of their ancient kingdom.(646)\n\n(M205) Sometimes, in the opinion of those who resort to it, the effect of\na beating is not merely the negative one of dispelling demoniac or other\nbaneful influences; it confers positive benefits by virtue of certain\nuseful properties supposed to inhere in the instrument with which the\nbeating is administered.(647) Thus among the Kai of German New Guinea,\nwhen a man wishes to make his banana shoots bear fruit quickly, he beats\nthem with a stick cut from a banana-tree which has already borne\nfruit.(648) Here it is obvious that fruitfulness is believed to inhere in\na stick cut from a fruitful tree and to be imparted by contact to the\nyoung banana plants. ",
"Similarly in New Caledonia a man will beat his taro\nplants lightly with a branch, saying as he does so, \"I beat this taro that\nit may grow,\" after which he plants the branch in the ground at the end of\nthe field.(649) Among the Indians of Brazil at the mouth of the Amazon,\nwhen a man wishes to increase the size of his generative organ, he strikes\nit with the fruit of a white aquatic plant called an _aninga_, which grows\nluxuriantly on the banks of the river. ",
"The fruit, which is inedible,\nresembles a banana, and is clearly chosen for this purpose on account of\nits shape. ",
"The ceremony should be performed three days before or after the\nnew moon.(650) In the county of Bekes, in Hungary, barren women are\nfertilized by being struck with a stick which has first been used to\nseparate pairing dogs.(651) Here a fertilizing virtue is clearly supposed\nto be inherent in the stick and to be conveyed by contact to the women.",
"\nThe Toradjas of Central Celebes think that the plant _Dracaena terminalis_\nhas a strong soul, because when it is lopped, it soon grows up again.",
"\nHence when a man is ill, his friends will sometimes beat him on the crown\nof the head with _Dracaena_ leaves in order to strengthen his weak soul\nwith the strong soul of the plant.(652) At Mowat in British New Guinea\nsmall boys are beaten lightly with sticks during December \"to make them\ngrow strong and hardy.",

"In some tribes the\noperator is muffled in the bloody skins of sacrificed sheep, and he\nstrikes everybody within reach of him with a flap of the skin or a foot of\nthe sheep which dangles loose from his arm; sick people present themselves\nto him in order to receive the health-giving blows, and mothers bring\ntheir little children to him for the same purpose. ",
"Anybody whom he hits on\nthe head will be free from headache. ",
"Nor does he confine his attention to\npeople; he goes about striking the tents also, in order that they too may\nreceive their share of the blessed influence (_baraka_) that radiates like\nsunshine from a bloody sheepskin. ",
"From the costume which he wears the\nmasker is known as the \"Lion with Sheepskins\"; and he himself participates\nin the blessings which he diffuses so liberally around him. ",
"Hence in at\nleast one tribe he is generally a person who suffers from some illness,\nbecause he expects to be healed by the magic virtue or holiness of the\nbloody skins.(654) Similarly, as we shall see presently, in ancient Mexico\nthe men who masqueraded in the skins of the human victims were commonly\npersons who suffered from skin disease, because they thought that the\nbleeding skin of a man who had been killed in the character of a god must\nsurely possess a sovereign virtue for the healing of disease.(655) In\nMorocco the skin-clad mummer sometimes operates with sticks instead of a\nflap of the skin, and sometimes the skins in which he is muffled are those\nof goats instead of sheep, but in all cases the effect, or at least the\nintention, is probably the same.(656)\n\n(M207) In some parts of Eastern and Central Europe a similar custom is\nvery commonly observed in spring. ",
"On the first of March the Albanians\nstrike men and beast with cornel branches, believing that this is very\ngood for their health.(657) In March the Greek peasants of Cos switch\ntheir cattle, saying, \"It is March, and up with your tail!\" ",
"They think\nthat the ceremony benefits the animals, and brings good luck. ",
"It is never\nobserved at any other time of the year.(658) In some parts of Mecklenburg\nit is customary to beat the cattle before sunrise on the morning of Good\nFriday with rods of buckthorn, which are afterwards concealed in some\nsecret place where neither sun nor moon can shine on them. ",
"The belief is\nthat though the blows light upon the animals, the pain of them is felt by\nthe witches who are riding the beasts.(659) In the neighbourhood of\nIserlohn, in Westphalia, the herdsman rises at peep of dawn on May\nmorning, climbs a hill, and cuts down the young rowan-tree which is the\nfirst to catch the beams of the rising sun. ",
"With this he returns to the\nfarm-yard. ",
"The heifer which the farmer desires to \"quicken\" is then led to\nthe dunghill, and the herdsman strikes it over the hind-quarters, the\nhaunches, and the udders with a branch of the rowan-tree, saying,\n\n\n \"_Quick, quick, quick!_",
"\n _Bring milk into the dugs._",
"\n _The sap is in the birches._",

"\n _Bring milk into the dugs._",
"\n _In the name of the sainted Greta,_\n _Gold-flower shall be thy name,_\"\n\n\nand so on.(660) The intention of the ceremony appears to be to make sure\nthat the heifer shall in due time yield a plentiful supply of milk; and\nthis is perhaps supposed to be brought about by driving away the witches,\nwho are particularly apt, as we have seen,(661) to rob the cows of their\nmilk on the morning of May Day. ",
"Certainly in the north-east of Scotland\npieces of rowan-tree and woodbine used to be placed over the doors of the\nbyres on May Day to keep the witches from the cows; sometimes a single rod\nof rowan, covered with notches, was found to answer the purpose. ",
"An even\nmore effectual guard against witchcraft was to tie a small cross of\nrowan-wood by a scarlet thread to each beast's tail; hence people said,\n\n\n \"_Rawn-tree in red-threed_\n _Pits the witches t' their speed._\"(662)\n\n\nIn Germany also the rowan-tree is a protection against witchcraft;(663)\nand Norwegian sailors and fishermen carry a piece of it in their boats for\ngood luck.(664) Thus the benefit to young cows of beating them with rowan\nappears to be not so much the positive one of pouring milk into their\nudders, as merely the negative one of averting evil influence; and the\nsame may perhaps be said of most of the beatings with which we are here\nconcerned.",
"\n\n(M208) On Good Friday and the two previous days people in Croatia and\nSlavonia take rods with them to church, and when the service is over they\nbeat each other \"fresh and healthy.",

"\"(666) A similar custom is widely known\nunder the name of _Schmeckostern_ or \"Easter Smacks\" in some parts of\nGermany and Austria. ",
"The regions in which the practice prevails are for\nthe most part districts in which the people either are or once were\npredominantly of Slavonic blood, such as East and West Prussia, Voigtland,\nSilesia, Bohemia, and Moravia. ",
"While the German population call the custom\n_Schmeckostern_, the Slavonic inhabitants give it, according to their\nparticular language or dialect, a variety of names which signify to beat\nor scourge. ",
"It is usually observed on Easter Monday, less frequently on\nEaster Saturday or Easter Sunday. ",
"Troops of boys or lads go from house to\nhouse on the morning of Easter Monday beating every girl or woman whom\nthey meet; they even make their way into the bedrooms, and if they find\nany girls or women still abed, they compel them with blows to get up. ",
"Even\ngrown-up men indulge themselves in the pastime of going to the houses of\nfriends and relations to inflict the \"Easter Smacks.\" ",
"In some places, for\nexample in the Leobschuetz district of Silesia, the boys and men further\nclaim and exercise the right of drenching all the girls and women with\nwater on Easter Monday; and for this purpose they generally go about armed\nwith squirts, which are not always charged with eau de Cologne. ",
"Next day,\nEaster Tuesday, the women have the right to retaliate on the men; however,\nthey do not as a rule go about the streets but confine their operations to\ntheir own houses, beating and chasing from their beds any lads or men they\ncan find lying in them. ",
"Children are less discriminating in their \"Easter\nSmacks,\" which they bestow impartially on parents and relations, friends\nand strangers, without observing the subtle distinction of sex. ",
"In many\nplaces it is only the women who are privileged to receive the smacks. ",
"The\ninstrument with which the beating is administered is in some districts,\nsuch as Lithuania, Samland, and Neumark, a twig or branch of birch on\nwhich the fresh green leaves have just sprouted. ",
"If the birch-trees have\nnot budded in time, it is customary to keep the rods in pickle for days or\neven weeks, nursing them tenderly in warm water; and if that measure also\nfails, they are heated in the stove-pipe. ",
"But more commonly the instrument\nof torture is a branch of willow with catkins on it, which has also been\nnursed in warm water or the chimney so as to be ripe for execution on\nEaster Monday. ",
"A number of these birch or willow twigs are usually tied\ntogether into a switch, and ornamented with motley ribbons and pieces of\nsilk paper, so that they present the appearance of a nosegay; indeed, in\nnorthern Bohemia spring flowers form part of the decoration. ",
"In some\nplaces, particularly in Silesia and Moravia, pieces of licorice root are\nsubstituted for willow twigs; or again in the vine-growing districts of\nBohemia vine-branches are used for the same purpose. ",
"Sometimes a scourge\nmade of leather straps of various colours takes the place of a green\nbough. ",
"The blows are commonly inflicted on the hands and feet; and in some\nplaces, particularly in Bohemia, the victims are expected to reward their\ntormentors with a present of red Easter eggs; nay sometimes a woman is\nbound to give an egg for every blow she receives. ",
"In the afternoon the\nlads carry their eggs to high ground and let them roll down the <DW72>; he\nwhose egg reaches the bottom first, wins all the rest. ",

"Young men and women beat\neach other mutually, but on different days, with branches of fresh green,\nwhether birch, willow, or fir. ",

"They are afterwards used by\neach sex to beat the other on subsequent days of the Christmas holidays.",
"\nIn some villages branches of willow or cherry-trees or rosemary are\nemployed for the same purpose. ",

"In Orlagau the custom is called\n\"whipping with fresh green.\" ",
"On the second day of the Christmas holidays\nthe girls go to their parents, godparents, relations, and friends, and\nbeat them with fresh green branches of fir; next day the boys and lads do\nthe same. ",
"The words spoken while the beating is being administered are\n\"Good morning! ",
"fresh green! ",
"Long life! ",
"You must give us a bright thaler,\"\nand so on.(670)\n\n(M210) In these European customs the intention of beating persons,\nespecially of the other sex, with fresh green leaves appears\nunquestionably to be the beneficent one of renewing their life and vigour,\nwhether the purpose is supposed to be accomplished directly and positively\nby imparting the vital energy of the fresh green to the persons, or\nnegatively and indirectly by dispelling any injurious influences, such as\nthe machinations of witches and demons, by which the persons may be\nsupposed to be beset. ",
"The application of the blows by the one sex to the\nother, especially by young men to young women, suggests that the beating\nis or was originally intended above all to stimulate the reproductive\npowers of the men or women who received it; and the pains taken to ensure\nthat the branches with which the strokes are given should have budded or\nblossomed out just before their services are wanted speak strongly in\nfavour of the view that in these customs we have a deliberate attempt to\ntransfuse a store of vital energy from the vegetable to the animal world.",
"\n\n(M211) These analogies, accordingly, support the interpretation which,\nfollowing my predecessors W. Mannhardt and Mr. W. R. Paton, I have given\nof the beating inflicted on the human victims at the Greek harvest\nfestival of the Thargelia. ",
"That beating, being administered to the\ngenerative organs of the victims by fresh green plants and branches, is\nmost naturally explained as a charm to increase the reproductive energies\nof the men or women either by communicating to them the fruitfulness of\nthe plants and branches, or by ridding them of maleficent influences; and\nthis interpretation is confirmed by the observation that the two victims\nrepresented the two sexes, one of them standing for the men in general and\nthe other for the women. ",
"The season of the year when the ceremony was\nperformed, namely the time of the corn harvest, tallies well with the\ntheory that the rite had an agricultural significance. ",
"Further, that it\nwas above all intended to fertilize the fig-trees is strongly suggested by\nthe strings of black and white figs which were hung round the necks of the\nvictims, as well as by the blows which were given their genital organs\nwith the branches of a wild fig-tree; since this procedure closely\nresembles the procedure which ancient and modern husbandmen in Greek lands\nhave regularly resorted to for the purpose of actually fertilizing their\nfig-trees. ",
"When we remember what an important part the artificial\nfertilization of the date palm-tree appears to have played of old not only\nin the husbandry but in the religion of Mesopotamia,(671) there seems no\nreason to doubt that the artificial fertilization of the fig-tree may in\nlike manner have vindicated for itself a place in the solemn ritual of\nGreek religion.",
"\n\n(M212) If these considerations are just, we must apparently conclude that\nwhile the human victims at the Thargelia certainly appear in later\nclassical times to have figured chiefly as public scapegoats, who carried\naway with them the sins, misfortunes, and sorrows of the whole people, at\nan earlier time they may have been looked on as embodiments of vegetation,\nperhaps of the corn but particularly of the fig-trees; and that the\nbeating which they received and the death which they died were intended\nprimarily to brace and refresh the powers of vegetation then beginning to\ndroop and languish under the torrid heat of the Greek summer.",
"\n\n(M213) The view here taken of the Greek scapegoat, if it is correct,\nobviates an objection which might otherwise be brought against the main\nargument of this book. ",
"To the theory that the priest of Aricia was slain\nas a representative of the spirit of the grove,(672) it might have been\nobjected that such a custom has no analogy in classical antiquity. ",
"But\nreasons have now been given for believing that the human being\nperiodically and occasionally slain by the Asiatic Greeks was regularly\ntreated as an embodiment of a divinity of vegetation. ",
"Probably the persons\nwhom the Athenians kept to be sacrificed were similarly treated as divine.",
"\nThat they were social outcasts did not matter. ",
"On the primitive view a man\nis not chosen to be the mouth-piece or embodiment of a god on account of\nhis high moral qualities or social rank. ",
"The divine afflatus descends\nequally on the good and the bad, the lofty and the lowly. ",
"If then the\ncivilized Greeks of Asia and Athens habitually sacrificed men whom they\nregarded as incarnate gods, there can be no inherent improbability in the\nsupposition that at the dawn of history a similar custom was observed by\nthe semi-barbarous Latins in the Arician Grove.",

"KILLING THE GOD IN MEXICO.",
"\n\n\n(M214) By no people does the custom of sacrificing the human\nrepresentative of a god appear to have been observed so commonly and with\nso much solemnity as by the Aztecs of ancient Mexico. ",
"With the ritual of\nthese remarkable sacrifices we are well acquainted, for it has been fully\ndescribed by the Spaniards who conquered Mexico in the sixteenth century,\nand whose curiosity was naturally excited by the discovery in this distant\nregion of a barbarous and cruel religion which presented many curious\npoints of analogy to the doctrine and ritual of their own church. \"",
"They\ntook a captive,\" says the Jesuit Acosta, \"such as they thought good; and\nafore they did sacrifice him unto their idols, they gave him the name of\nthe idol, to whom he should be sacrificed, and apparelled him with the\nsame ornaments like their idol, saying, that he did represent the same\nidol. ",
"And during the time that this representation lasted, which was for a\nyear in some feasts, in others six months, and in others less, they\nreverenced and worshipped him in the same manner as the proper idol; and\nin the meantime he did eat, drink, and was merry. ",
"When he went through the\nstreets, the people came forth to worship him, and every one brought him\nan alms, with children and sick folks, that he might cure them, and bless\nthem, suffering him to do all things at his pleasure, only he was\naccompanied with ten or twelve men lest he should fly. ",
"And he (to the end\nhe might be reverenced as he passed) sometimes sounded upon a small flute,\nthat the people might prepare to worship him. ",
"The feast being come, and he\ngrown fat, they killed him, opened him, and ate him, making a solemn\nsacrifice of him.",
"\"(673)\n\n(M215) This general description of the custom may now be illustrated by\nparticular examples. ",
"Thus at the festival called Toxcatl, the greatest\nfestival of the Mexican year, a young man was annually sacrificed in the\ncharacter of Tezcatlipoca, \"the god of gods,\" after having been maintained\nand worshipped as that great deity in person for a whole year. ",
"According\nto the old Franciscan monk Sahagun, our best authority on the Aztec\nreligion, the sacrifice of the human god fell at Easter or a few days\nlater, so that, if he is right, it would correspond in date as well as in\ncharacter to the Christian festival of the death and resurrection of the\nRedeemer.(674) More exactly he tells us that the sacrifice took place on\nthe first day of the fifth Aztec month, which according to him began on\nthe twenty-third or twenty-seventh day of April.(675) However, according\nto other Spanish authorities of the sixteenth century the festival lasted\nfrom the ninth to the nineteenth day of May, and the sacrifice of the\nhuman victim in the character of the god was performed on the last of\nthese days.(676) An eminent modern authority, Professor E. Seler, is of\nopinion that the festival originally celebrated the beginning of the year,\nand that it fell on the day when the sun on his passage northward to the\ntropic of Cancer stood in the zenith over the city of Mexico, which in the\nearly part of the sixteenth century would be the ninth or tenth day of May\n(old style) or the nineteenth or twentieth day of May (new style).(677)\nWhatever the exact date of the celebration may have been, we are told that\nthe \"feast was not made to any other end, but to demand rain, in the same\nmanner that we solemnize the Rogations; and this feast was always in May,\nwhich is the time that they have most need of rain in those\ncountries.",
"\"(678)\n\n(M216) At this festival the great god died in the person of one human\nrepresentative and came to life again in the person of another, who was\ndestined to enjoy the fatal honour of divinity for a year and to perish,\nlike all his predecessors, at the end of it. ",
"The young man singled out for\nthis high dignity was carefully chosen from among the captives on the\nground of his personal beauty. ",
"He had to be of unblemished body, slim as a\nreed and straight as a pillar, neither too tall nor too short. ",
"If through\nhigh living he grew too fat, he was obliged to reduce himself by drinking\nsalt water. ",
"And in order that he might behave in his lofty station with\nbecoming grace and dignity he was carefully trained to comport himself\nlike a gentleman of the first quality, to speak correctly and elegantly,\nto play the flute, to smoke cigars and to snuff at flowers with a\ndandified air. ",
"He was honourably lodged in the temple where the nobles\nwaited on him and paid him homage, bringing him meat and serving like a\nprince. ",
"The king himself saw to it that he was apparelled in gorgeous\nattire, \"for already he esteemed him as a god.\" ",
"Eagle down was gummed to\nhis head and white cock's feathers were stuck in his hair, which drooped\nto his girdle. ",
"A wreath of flowers like roasted maize crowned his brows,\nand a garland of the same flowers passed over his shoulders and under his\narm-pits. ",
"Golden ornaments hung from his nose, golden armlets adorned his\narms, golden bells jingled on his legs at every step he took; earrings of\nturquoise dangled from his ears, bracelets of turquoise bedecked his\nwrists; necklaces of shells encircled his neck and depended on his breast;\nhe wore a mantle of network, and round his middle a rich waist-cloth. ",
"When\nthis bejewelled exquisite lounged through the streets playing on his\nflute, puffing at a cigar, and smelling at a nosegay, the people whom he\nmet threw themselves on the earth before him and prayed to him with sighs\nand tears, taking up the dust in their hands and putting it in their\nmouths in token of the deepest humiliation and subjection. ",
"Women came\nforth with children in their arms and presented them to him, saluting him\nas a god. ",
"For \"he passed for our Lord God; the people acknowledged him as\nthe Lord.\" ",
"All who thus worshipped him on his passage he saluted gravely\nand courteously. ",
"Lest he should flee, he was everywhere attended by a\nguard of eight pages in the royal livery, four of them with shaven crowns\nlike the palace-slaves, and four of them with the flowing locks of\nwarriors; and if he contrived to escape, the captain of the guard had to\ntake his place as the representative of the god and to die in his stead.",
"\nTwenty days before he was to die, his costume was changed, and four\ndamsels, delicately nurtured and bearing the names of four goddesses--the\nGoddess of Flowers, the Goddess of the Young Maize, the Goddess \"Our\nMother among the Water,\" and the Goddess of Salt--were given him to be his\nbrides, and with them he consorted. ",
"During the last five days divine\nhonours were showered on the destined victim. ",
"The king remained in his\npalace while the whole court went after the human god. ",
"Solemn banquets and\ndances followed each other in regular succession and at appointed places.",
"\nOn the last day the young man, attended by his wives and pages, embarked\nin a canoe covered with a royal canopy and was ferried across the lake to\na spot where a little hill rose from the edge of the water. ",
"It was called\nthe Mountain of Parting, because here his wives bade him a last farewell.",
"\nThen, accompanied only by his pages, he repaired to a small and lonely\ntemple by the wayside. ",
"Like the Mexican temples in general, it was built\nin the form of a pyramid; and as the young man ascended the stairs he\nbroke at every step one of the flutes on which he had played in the days\nof his glory. ",
"On reaching the summit he was seized and held down by the\npriests on his back upon a block of stone, while one of them cut open his\nbreast, thrust his hand into the wound, and wrenching out his heart held\nit up in sacrifice to the sun. ",
"The body of the dead god was not, like the\nbodies of common victims, sent rolling down the steps of the temple, but\nwas carried down to the foot, where the head was cut off and spitted on a\npike. ",
"Such was the regular end of the man who personated the greatest god\nof the Mexican pantheon.(679)\n\n(M217) But he was not the only man who played the part of a god and was\nsacrificed as such in the month of May. The great god Vitzilopochtli or\nHuitzilopochtli was also worshipped at the same season. ",
"An image of him\nwas made out of dough in human shape, arrayed in all the ornaments of the\ndeity, and set up in his temple. ",
"But the god had also his living\nrepresentative in the person of a young man, who, like the human\nrepresentative of Tezcatlipoca, personated the divinity for a whole year\nand was sacrificed at the end. ",
"In the month of May it was the duty of the\ndivine man, destined so soon to die, to lead the dances which formed a\nconspicuous feature of the festivities. ",
"Courtiers and warriors, old and\nyoung, danced in winding figures, holding each other by the hand; and with\nthem danced young women, who had taken a vow to dance with roasted maize.",
"\nOn their heads these damsels wore crowns of roasted maize; festoons of\nmaize hung from their shoulders and crossed on their breasts; their faces\nwere painted, and their arms and legs were covered with red feathers.",
"\nDancing in this attire the damsels were said to hold the god\nVitzilopochtli in their arms; but they conducted themselves with the\nutmost gravity and decorum. ",
"If any man so far forgot himself as to toy\nwith one of the maidens, the elder warriors dealt with him promptly and\nseverely, reproaching him for the sacrilege of which he had been guilty.",
"\nSahagun compares these May dances to the dances of peasant men and women\nin old Castile, and the crowns of maize worn by the girls he compares to\nthe garlands of flowers worn by rustic Castilian maidens in the month of\nMay. So they danced till nightfall. ",
"Next morning they danced again, and in\nthe course of the day the man who represented the god Vitzilopochtli was\nput to death. ",
"He had the privilege of choosing the hour when he was to\ndie. ",
"When the fatal moment drew near, they clothed him in a curious dress\nof paper painted all over with black circles; on his head they clapped a\npaper mitre decked with eagle feathers and nodding plumes, among which was\nfastened a blood-stained obsidian knife. ",
"Thus attired, with golden bells\njingling at his ankles, he led the dance at all the balls of the festival,\nand thus attired he went to his death. ",
"The priests seized him, stretched\nhim out, gripped him tight, cut out his heart, and held it up to the sun.",
"\nHis head was severed from the trunk and spiked beside the head of the\nother human god, who had been sacrificed not long before.(680)\n\n(M218) In Cholula, a wealthy trading city of Mexico, the merchants\nworshipped a god named Quetzalcoatl. ",
"His image, set upon a richly\ndecorated altar or pedestal in a spacious temple, had the body of a man\nbut the head of a bird, with a red beak surmounted by a crest, the face\ndyed yellow, with a black band running from the eyes to below the beak,\nand the tongue lolling out. ",
"On its head was a paper mitre painted black,\nwhite, and red; on its neck a large golden jewel in the shape of butterfly\nwings; about its body a feather mantle, black, red, and white; golden\nsocks and golden sandals encased its legs and feet. ",
"In the right hand the\nimage wielded a wooden instrument like a sickle, and in the left a buckler\ncovered with the black and white plumage of sea-birds.(681) The festival\nof this god was celebrated on the third day of February. ",
"Forty days before\nthe festival \"the merchants bought a slave well proportioned, without any\nfault or blemish, either of sickness or of hurt, whom they did attire with\nthe ornaments of the idol, that he might represent it forty days. ",
"Before\nhis clothing they did cleanse him, washing him twice in a lake, which they\ncalled the lake of the gods; and being purified, they attired him like the\nidol. ",
"During these forty days, he was much respected for his sake whom he\nrepresented. ",
"By night they did imprison him (as hath been said) lest he\nshould fly, and in the morning they took him out of prison, setting him\nupon an eminent place, where they served him, giving him exquisite meats\nto eat. ",
"After he had eaten, they put a chain of flowers about his neck,\nand many nosegays in his hands. ",
"He had a well-appointed guard, with much\npeople to accompany him. ",
"When he went through the city, he went dancing\nand singing through all the streets, that he might be known for the\nresemblance of their god, and when he began to sing, the women and little\nchildren came forth of their houses to salute him, and to offer unto him\nas to their god. ",
"Two old men of the ancients of the temple came unto him\nnine days before the feast, and humbling themselves before him, they said\nwith a low and submissive voice, 'Sir, you must understand that nine days\nhence the exercise of dancing and singing doth end, and thou must then\ndie'; and then he must answer, 'In a good hour.' ",
"They call this ceremony\n_Neyolo Maxilt Ileztli_, which is to say, the advertisement; and when they\ndid thus advertise him, they took very careful heed whether he were sad,\nor if he danced as joyfully as he was accustomed, the which if he did not\nas cheerfully as they desired, they made a foolish superstition in this\nmanner. ",
"They presently took the sacrifizing razors, the which they washed\nand cleansed from the blood of men which remained of the former\nsacrifices. ",
"Of this washing they made a drink mingled with another liquor\nmade of cacao, giving it him to drink; they said that this would make him\nforget what had been said unto him, and would make him in a manner\ninsensible, returning to his former dancing and mirth. ",
"They said,\nmoreover, that he would offer himself cheerfully to death, being enchanted\nwith this drink. ",
"The cause why they sought to take from him this\nheaviness, was, for that they held it for an ill augury, and a\nfore-telling of some great harm. ",
"The day of the feast being come, after\nthey had done him much honour, sung, and given him incense, the\nsacrificers took him about midnight and did sacrifice him, as hath been\nsaid, offering his heart unto the Moon, the which they did afterwards cast\nagainst the idol, letting the body fall to the bottom of the stairs of the\ntemple, where such as had offered him took him up, which were the\nmerchants, whose feast it was. ",
"Then having carried him into the chiefest\nman's house amongst them, the body was drest with diverse sauces, to\ncelebrate (at the break of day) the banquet and dinner of the feast,\nhaving first bid the idol good morrow, with a small dance, which they made\nwhilst the day did break, and that they prepared the sacrifice. ",
"Then did\nall the merchants assemble at this banquet, especially those which made it\na trafick to buy and sell slaves, who were bound every year to offer one,\nfor the resemblance of their god. ",
"This idol was one of the most honoured\nin all the land; and therefore the temple where he was, was of great\nauthority.",
"\"(682)\n\n(M219) The honour of living for a short time in the character of a god and\ndying a violent death in the same capacity was not restricted to men in\nMexico; women were allowed, or rather compelled, to enjoy the glory and to\nshare the doom as representatives of goddesses. ",
"Thus in the seventh month\nof their year, which corresponded roughly to June, the Aztecs celebrated a\nfestival in honour of Huixtocihuatl, the Goddess of Salt. ",
"She was said to\nbe a sister of the Rain Gods, but having quarrelled with them she was\nbanished and driven to take up her abode in the salt water. ",
"Being of an\ningenious turn of mind, she invented the process of extracting salt by\nmeans of pans; hence she was worshipped by all salt-makers as their patron\ngoddess. ",
"Her garments were yellow; on her head she wore a mitre surmounted\nby bunches of waving green plumes, which shone with greenish iridescent\nhues in the sun. ",
"Her robe and petticoats were embroidered with patterns\nsimulating the waves of the sea. ",
"Golden ear-rings in the form of flowers\ndangled at her ears; golden bells jingled at her ankles. ",
"In one hand she\ncarried a round shield painted with the leaves of a certain plant and\nadorned with drooping fringes of parrots' feathers; in the other hand she\ncarried a stout baton ending in a knob and bedecked with paper, artificial\nflowers, and feathers. ",
"For ten days before her festival a woman personated\nthe goddess and wore her gorgeous costume. ",
"It was her duty during these\ndays to lead the dances which at this season were danced by the women and\ngirls of the salt-makers. ",
"They danced, young, old, and children, in a\nring, all holding a cord, their heads crowned with garlands of a fragrant\nflower (_Artemisia laciniata_) and singing airs in a shrill soprano. ",
"In\nthe middle of the ring danced the woman who represented the goddess, with\nher golden bells jingling at every step, brandishing her shield, and\nmarking the time of the dance and song with her baton. ",
"On the last day,\nthe eve of the festival, she had to dance all night without resting till\nbreak of day, when she was to die. ",
"Old women supported her in the weary\ntask, and they all danced together, arm in arm. ",
"With her, too, danced the\nslaves who were to die with her in the morning. ",
"When the hour was come,\nthey led her, still personating the goddess, up the steps of the temple of\nTlaloc, followed by the doomed captives. ",
"Arrived at the summit of the\npyramid, the butchery began with the captives, while the woman stood\nlooking on. ",
"Her turn being come, they threw her on her back on the block,\nand while five men held her down and two others compressed her throat with\na billet of wood or the sword of a sword-fish to prevent her from\nscreaming, the priest cut open her breast with his knife, and thrusting\nhis hand into the wound tore out her heart and flung it into a bowl. ",
"When\nall was over, the salt-makers who had witnessed the sacrifice went home to\ndrink and make merry.(683)\n\n(M220) Again, in the eighth month of the Mexican year, which answered to\nthe latter end of June and the early part of July, the Aztecs sacrificed a\nwoman who personated Xilonen, the goddess of the young maize-cobs\n(_xilotl_). ",
"The festival at which the sacrifice took place was held on the\ntenth day of the month about the time when the maize is nearly ripe, and\nwhen fibres shooting forth from the green ear shew that the grain is fully\nformed. ",
"For eight days before the festival men and women, clad in rich\ngarments and decked with jewels, danced and sang together in the courts of\nthe temples, which were brilliantly illuminated for the purpose. ",
"Rows of\ntall braziers sent up a flickering blaze, and torchbearers held aloft huge\ntorches of pinewood. ",
"Some of the dancers themselves carried heavy torches,\nwhich flared and spluttered as they danced. ",
"The dances began at sundown\nand lasted till about nine o'clock. ",
"None but tried and distinguished\nwarriors might take part in them. ",
"The women wore their long hair hanging\nloose on their back and shoulders, in order that the tassels of the maize\nmight likewise grow long and loose, for the more tassels the more grain in\nthe ear. ",
"Men and women danced holding each other by the hand or with their\narms round each other's waists, marking time exactly with their feet to\nthe music of the drums and moving out and in among the flaming braziers\nand torches. ",
"The dances were strictly decorous. ",
"If any man was detected\nmaking love to one of the women dancers, he was publicly disgraced,\nseverely punished, and never allowed to dance and sing in public again. ",
"On\nthe eve of the festival the woman who was to die in the character of the\nGoddess of the Young Maize was arrayed in the rich robes and splendid\njewels of the divinity whom she personated. ",
"The upper part of her face was\npainted red and the lower part yellow, probably to assimilate her to the\nruddy and orange hues of the ripe maize. ",
"Her legs and arms were covered\nwith red feathers. ",
"She wore a paper crown decked with a bunch of feathers;\nnecklaces of gems and gold encircled her neck; her garments were\nembroidered with quaint figures; her shoes were striped with red. ",
"In her\nleft hand she held a round shield, in her right a crimson baton. ",
"Thus\narrayed, she was led by other women to offer incense in four different\nplaces. ",
"All the rest of the night she and they danced and sang in front of\nthe temple of the goddess Xilonen, whose living image she was supposed to\nbe. ",
"In the morning the nobles danced a solemn dance by themselves,\nleaning, or making believe to lean, on stalks of maize. ",
"The women, pranked\nwith garlands and festoons of yellow flowers, danced also by themselves\nalong with the victim. ",
"Among the priests the one who was to act as\nexecutioner wore a fine bunch of feathers on his back. ",
"Another shook a\nrattle before the doomed woman as she mounted up the steps of the temple\nof Cinteotl, the Goddess of the Maize. ",
"On reaching the summit she was\nseized by a priest, who threw her on his back, while the sacrificer\nsevered her head from her body, tore out her heart, and threw it in a\nsaucer. ",
"When this sacrifice had been performed in honour of Xilonen, the\nGoddess of the Young Maize, the people were free to eat the green ears of\nmaize and the bread that was baked of it. ",
"No one would have dared to eat\nof these things before the sacrifice.(684)\n\n(M221) Again, in the seventeenth month of the Mexican year,(685) which\ncorresponded to the latter part of December and the early part of January,\nthe Aztecs sacrificed a woman, who personated the goddess Ilamatecutli or\nTonan, which means \"Our Mother.\" ",
"Her festival fell on Christmas Day, the\ntwenty-fifth of December. ",
"The image of the goddess wore a two-faced mask\nwith large mouths and protruding eyes. ",
"The woman who represented her was\ndressed in white robes and shod with white sandals. ",
"Over her white mantle\nshe wore a leathern jerkin, the lower edge of which was cut into a fringe\nof straps, and to the end of each strap was fastened a small shell. ",
"As she\nwalked, the shells clashed together and made a noise which was heard afar\noff. ",
"The upper half of her face was painted yellow and the lower half\nblack; and she wore a wig. ",
"In her hand she carried a round whitewashed\nshield decorated in the middle with a circle of eagle feathers, while\nwhite heron plumes, ending in eagle feathers, drooped from it. ",
"Thus\narrayed and personating the goddess, the woman danced alone to music\nplayed by old men, and as she danced she sighed and wept at the thought of\nthe death that was so near. ",
"At noon or a little later the dance ceased;\nand when the sun was declining in the west, they led her up the long\nascent to the summit of Huitzilopochtli's temple. ",
"Behind her marched the\npriests clad in the trappings of all the gods, with masks on their faces.",
"\nOne of them wore the costume and the mask of the goddess Ilamatecutli,\nwhom the victim also represented. ",
"On reaching the lofty platform which\ncrowned the pyramidal temple, they slew her in the usual fashion, wrenched\nout her heart, and cut off her head. ",
"The dripping head was given to the\npriest who wore the costume and mask of the goddess and waving it up and\ndown he danced round the platform, followed by all the other priests in\nthe attire and masks of the gods. ",
"When the dance had lasted a certain\ntime, the leader gave the signal, and they all trooped down the long\nflight of stairs to disrobe themselves and deposit the masks and costumes\nin the chapels where they were usually kept. ",
"Next day the people indulged\nin a certain pastime. ",
"Men and boys furnished themselves with little bags\nor nets stuffed with paper, flowers of galingale, or green leaves of\nmaize, which they tied to strings, and used them as instruments to strike\nany girl or woman they might meet in the streets. ",
"Sometimes three or four\nurchins would gather round one girl, beating her till she cried; but some\nshrewd wenches went about that day armed with sticks, with which they\nretaliated smartly on their assailants. ",
"It was a penal offence to put\nstones or anything else that could hurt in the bags.(686)\n\n(M222) In the preceding custom, what are we to make of the sacrifice of a\nwoman, who personated the goddess, by a man who also wore the costume and\nmask of the goddess, and who immediately after the sacrifice danced with\nthe bleeding head of the victim? ",
"Perhaps the intention of the strange rite\nwas to represent the resurrection of the slain goddess in the person of\nthe priest who wore her costume and mask and dangled the severed head of\nher slaughtered representative. ",
"If that was so, it would explain another\nand still ghastlier rite, in which the Mexicans seem to have set forth the\ndoctrine of the divine resurrection. ",
"This was to skin the slain woman who\nhad personated the goddess and then to clothe in the bloody skin a man,\nwho pranced about in it, as if he were the dead woman or rather goddess\ncome to life again. ",
"Thus in the eleventh Mexican month, which corresponded\nto the latter part of August and the early part of September, they\ncelebrated a festival in honour of a goddess called the Mother of the Gods\n(_Teteo innan_) or Our Ancestress (_Toci_), or the Heart of the Earth, and\nthey sacrificed a woman clad in the costume and ornaments of the goddess.",
"\nShe was a slave bought for the purpose by the guilds of physicians,\nsurgeons, blood-letters, midwives and fortune-tellers, who particularly\nworshipped this deity. ",
"When the poor wretch came forth decked in all the\ntrappings of the goddess, the people, we are told, looked on her as\nequivalent to the Mother of the Gods herself and paid her as much honour\nand reverence as if she had indeed been that great divinity. ",
"For eight\ndays they danced silently in four rows, if dance it could be called in\nwhich the dancers scarcely stirred their legs and bodies, but contented\nthemselves with moving their hands, in which they held branches of\nblossoms, up and down in time to the tuck of drum. ",
"These dances began in\nthe afternoon and lasted till the sun went down. ",
"No one might speak during\ntheir performance; only some lively youths mimicked by a booming murmur of\nthe lips the rub-a-dub of the drums. ",
"When the dances were over, the\nmedical women, young and old, divided themselves into two parties and\nengaged in a sham fight before the woman who acted the part of the Mother\nof the Gods. ",
"This they did to divert her and keep her from being sad and\nshedding tears; for if she wept, they deemed it an omen that many men\nwould die in battle and many women in childbed. ",
"The fight between the\nwomen consisted in throwing balls of moss, leaves, or flowers at each\nother; and she who personated the goddess led one of the parties to the\nattack. ",
"These mock battles lasted four days.",
"\n\n(M223) After that they led the woman who was to die to the market-place,\nthat she might bid it farewell; and by way of doing so she scattered the\nflour of maize wherever she went. ",
"The priests then attended her to a\nbuilding near the temple in which she was to be sacrificed. ",
"The knowledge\nof her doom was kept from her as far as possible. ",
"The medical women and\nthe midwives comforted her, saying, \"Be not cast down, sweetheart; this\nnight thou shalt sleep with the king; therefore rejoice.\" ",
"Then they put on\nher the ornaments of the goddess, and at midnight led her to the temple\nwhere she was to die. ",
"On the passage not a word was spoken, not a cough\nwas heard; crowds were gathered to see her pass, but all kept a profound\nsilence. ",
"Arrived at the summit of the temple she was hoisted on to the\nback of one priest, while another adroitly cut off her head. ",
"The body,\nstill warm, was skinned, and a tall robust young man clothed himself in\nthe bleeding skin and so became in turn a living image of the goddess. ",
"One\nof the woman's thighs was flayed separately, and the skin carried to\nanother temple, where a young man put it over his face as a mask and so\npersonated the maize-goddess Cinteotl, daughter of the Mother of the Gods.",
"\nMeantime the other, clad in the rest of the woman's skin, hurried down the\nsteps of the temple. ",
"The nobles and warriors fled before him, carrying\nblood-stained besoms of couchgrass, but turned to look back at him from\ntime to time and smote upon their shields as if to bid him come on. ",
"He\nfollowed hard after them and all who saw that flight and pursuit quaked\nwith fear. ",
"On arriving at the foot of the temple of Huitzilopochtli, the\nman who wore the skin of the dead woman and personated the Mother of the\nGods, lifted up his arms and stood like a cross before the image of the\ngod; this action he repeated four times. ",
"Then he joined the man who\npersonated the maize-goddess Cinteotl, and together they went slowly to\nthe temple of the Mother of the Gods, where the woman had been sacrificed.",
"\nAll this time it was night. ",
"Next morning at break of day the man who\npersonated the Mother of the Gods took up his post on the highest point of\nthe temple; there they decked him in all the gorgeous trappings of the\ngoddess and set a splendid crown on his head. ",
"Then the captives were set\nin a row before him, and arrayed in all his finery he slaughtered four of\nthem with his own hand: the rest he left to be butchered by the priests. ",
"A\nvariety of ceremonies and dances followed. ",
"Amongst others, the blood of\nthe human victims was collected in a bowl and set before the man who\npersonated the Mother of the Gods. ",
"He dipped his finger into the blood and\nthen sucked his bloody finger; and when he had sucked it he bowed his head\nand uttered a dolorous groan, whereat the Indians believed the earth\nitself shook and trembled, as did all who heard it. ",
"Finally the skin of\nthe slain woman and the skin of her thigh were carried away and deposited\nseparately at two towers, one of which stood on the border of the enemy's\ncountry.(687)\n\n(M224) This remarkable festival in honour of the Mother of the Gods is\nsaid to have been immediately preceded by a similar festival in honour of\nthe Maize Goddess Chicomecohuatl.(688) The image of this goddess was of\nwood and represented her as a girl of about twelve years of age wearing\nfeminine ornaments painted in gay colours. ",
"On her head was a pasteboard\nmitre; her long hair fell on her shoulders; in her ears she had golden\nearrings; round her neck she wore a necklace of golden maize-cobs strung\non a blue ribbon, and in her hands she held the likeness of maize-cobs\nmade of feathers and garnished with gold. ",
"Her festival, which was observed\nthroughout the whole country with great devotion on the fifteenth day of\nSeptember, was preceded by a strict fast of seven days, during which old\nand young, sick and whole, ate nothing but broken victuals and dry bread\nand drank nothing but water, and did penance by drawing blood from their\nears. ",
"The blood so drawn was kept in vessels, which were not scoured, so\nthat a dry crust formed over it. ",
"On the day before the fast began the\npeople ate and drank to their heart's content, and they sanctified a woman\nto represent Atlatatonan, the Goddess of Lepers, dressing her up in an\nappropriate costume. ",
"When the fast was over, the high priest of the temple\nof Tlaloc sacrificed the woman in the usual way by tearing out her heart\nand holding it up as an offering to the sun. ",
"Her body, with all the robes\nand ornaments she had worn, was cast into a well or vault in the temple,\nand along with the corpse were thrown in all the plates and dishes out of\nwhich the people had eaten, and all the mats on which they had sat or\nslept during the fast, as if, says the historian, they had been infected\nwith the plague of leprosy. ",
"After that the people were free to eat bread,\nsalt, and tomatoes; and immediately after the sacrifice of the woman who\npersonated the Goddess of Leprosy they sanctified a young slave girl of\ntwelve or thirteen years, the prettiest they could find, to represent the\nMaize Goddess Chicomecohuatl. ",
"They invested her with the ornaments of the\ngoddess, putting the mitre on her head and the maize-cobs round her neck\nand in her hands, and fastening a green feather upright on the crown of\nher head to imitate an ear of maize. ",
"This they did, we are told, in order\nto signify that the maize was almost ripe at the time of the festival, but\nbecause it was still tender they chose a girl of tender years to play the\npart of the Maize Goddess. ",
"The whole long day they led the poor child in\nall her finery, with the green plume nodding on her head, from house to\nhouse dancing merrily to cheer people after the dulness and privations of\nthe fast.",
"\n\n(M225) In the evening all the people assembled at the temple, the courts\nof which they lit up by a multitude of lanterns and candles. ",
"There they\npassed the night without sleeping, and at midnight, while the trumpets,\nflutes, and horns discoursed solemn music, a portable framework or\npalanquin was brought forth, bedecked with festoons of maize-cobs and\npeppers and filled with seeds of all sorts. ",
"This the bearers set down at\nthe door of the chamber in which the wooden image of the goddess stood.",
"\nNow the chamber was adorned and wreathed, both outside and inside, with\nwreaths of maize-cobs, peppers, pumpkins, roses, and seeds of every kind,\na wonder to behold; the whole floor was covered deep with these verdant\nofferings of the pious. ",
"When the music ceased, a solemn procession came\nforth of priests and dignitaries, with flaring lights and smoking censers,\nleading in their midst the girl who played the part of the goddess. ",
"Then\nthey made her mount the framework, where she stood upright on the maize\nand peppers and pumpkins with which it was strewed, her hands resting on\ntwo bannisters to keep her from falling. ",
"Then the priests swung the\nsmoking censers round her; the music struck up again, and while it played,\na great dignitary of the temple suddenly stepped up to her with a razor in\nhis hand and adroitly shore off the green feather she wore on her head,\ntogether with the hair in which it was fastened, snipping the lock off by\nthe root. ",
"The feather and the hair he then presented to the wooden image\nof the goddess with great solemnity and elaborate ceremonies, weeping and\ngiving her thanks for the fruits of the earth and the abundant crops which\nshe had bestowed on the people that year; and as he wept and prayed, all\nthe people, standing in the courts of the temple, wept and prayed with\nhim. ",
"When that ceremony was over, the girl descended from the framework\nand was escorted to the place where she was to spend the rest of the\nnight. ",
"But all the people kept watch in the courts of the temple by the\nlight of torches till break of day.",
"\n\n(M226) The morning being come, and the courts of the temple being still\ncrowded by the multitude, who would have deemed it sacrilege to quit the\nprecincts, the priests again brought forth the damsel attired in the\ncostume of the goddess, with the mitre on her head and the cobs of maize\nabout her neck. ",
"Again she mounted the portable framework or palanquin and\nstood on it, supporting herself by her hands on the bannisters. ",
"Then the\nelders of the temple lifted it on their shoulders, and while some swung\nburning censers and others played on instruments or sang, they carried it\nin procession through the great courtyard to the hall of the god\nHuitzilopochtli and then back to the chamber, where stood the wooden image\nof the Maize Goddess, whom the girl personated. ",
"There they caused the\ndamsel to descend from the palanquin and to stand on the heaps of corn and\nvegetables that had been spread in profusion on the floor of the sacred\nchamber. ",
"While she stood there all the elders and nobles came in a line,\none behind the other, carrying the saucers of dry and clotted blood which\nthey had drawn from their ears by way of penance during the seven days'\nfast. ",
"One by one they squatted on their haunches before her, which was the\nequivalent of falling on their knees with us, and scraping the crust of\nblood from the saucer cast it down before her as an offering in return for\nthe benefits which she, as the embodiment of the Maize Goddess, had\nconferred upon them. ",
"When the men had thus humbly offered their blood to\nthe human representative of the goddess, the women, forming a long line,\ndid so likewise, each of them dropping on her hams before the girl and\nscraping her blood from the saucer. ",
"The ceremony lasted a long time, for\ngreat and small, young and old, all without exception had to pass before\nthe incarnate deity and make their offering. ",
"When it was over, the people\nreturned home with glad hearts to feast on flesh and viands of every sort\nas merrily, we are told, as good Christians at Easter partake of meat and\nother carnal mercies after the long abstinence of Lent. ",
"And when they had\neaten and drunk their fill and rested after the night watch, they returned\nquite refreshed to the temple to see the end of the festival. ",
"And the end\nof the festival was this. ",
"The multitude being assembled, the priests\nsolemnly incensed the girl who personated the goddess; then they threw her\non her back on the heap of corn and seeds, cut off her head, caught the\ngushing blood in a tub, and sprinkled the blood on the wooden image of the\ngoddess, the walls of the chamber, and the offerings of corn, peppers,\npumpkins, seeds, and vegetables which cumbered the floor. ",
"After that they\nflayed the headless trunk, and one of the priests made shift to squeeze\nhimself into the bloody skin. ",
"Having done so they clad him in all the\nrobes which the girl had worn; they put the mitre on his head, the\nnecklace of golden maize-cobs about his neck, the maize-cobs of feathers\nand gold in his hands; and thus arrayed they led him forth in public, all\nof them dancing to the tuck of drum, while he acted as fugleman, skipping\nand posturing at the head of the procession as briskly as he could be\nexpected to do, incommoded as he was by the tight and clammy skin of the\ngirl and by her clothes, which must have been much too small for a grown\nman.(689)\n\n(M227) In the foregoing custom the identification of the young girl with\nthe Maize Goddess appears to be complete. ",
"The golden maize cobs which she\nwore round her neck, the artificial maize cobs which she carried in her\nhands, the green feather which was stuck in her hair in imitation (we are\ntold) of a green ear of maize, all set her forth as a personification of\nthe corn-spirit; and we are expressly informed that she was specially\nchosen as a young girl to represent the young maize, which at the time of\nthe festival had not yet fully ripened. ",
"Further, her identification with\nthe corn and the corn-goddess was clearly announced by making her stand on\nthe heaps of maize and there receive the homage and blood-offerings of the\nwhole people, who thereby returned her thanks for the benefits which in\nher character of a divinity she was supposed to have conferred upon them.",
"\nOnce more, the practice of beheading her on a heap of corn and seeds and\nsprinkling her blood, not only on the image of the Maize Goddess, but on\nthe piles of maize, peppers, pumpkins, seeds, and vegetables, can\nseemingly have had no other object but to quicken and strengthen the crops\nof corn and the fruits of the earth in general by infusing into their\nrepresentatives the blood of the Corn Goddess herself. ",
"The analogy of this\nMexican sacrifice, the meaning of which appears to be indisputable, may be\nallowed to strengthen the interpretation which I have given of other human\nsacrifices offered for the crops.(690) If the Mexican girl, whose blood\nwas sprinkled on the maize, indeed personated the Maize Goddess, it\nbecomes more than ever probable that the girl whose blood the Pawnees\nsimilarly sprinkled on the seed corn personated in like manner the female\nSpirit of the Corn; and so with the other human beings whom other races\nhave slaughtered for the sake of promoting the growth of the crops.",
"\n\n(M228) Lastly, the concluding act of the sacred drama, in which the body\nof the dead Maize Goddess was flayed and her skin worn, together with all\nher sacred insignia, by a man who danced before the people in this grim\nattire, seems to be best explained on the hypothesis that it was intended\nto ensure that the divine death should be immediately followed by the\ndivine resurrection. ",
"If that was so, we may infer with some degree of\nprobability that the practice of killing a human representative of a deity\nhas commonly, perhaps always, been regarded merely as a means of\nperpetuating the divine energies in the fulness of youthful vigour,\nuntainted by the weakness and frailty of age, from which they must have\nsuffered if the deity had been allowed to die a natural death.",
"\n\n(M229) This interpretation of the Mexican custom of flaying human beings\nand permitting or requiring other persons to parade publicly in the skins\nof the victims may perhaps be confirmed by a consideration of the festival\nat which this strange rite was observed on the largest scale, and which\naccordingly went by the name of the Festival of the Flaying of Men\n(_Tlacaxipeualiztli_). ",
"It was celebrated in the second month of the Aztec\nyear, which corresponded to the last days of February and the early part\nof March. ",
"The exact day of the festival was the twentieth of March,\naccording to one pious chronicler, who notes with unction that the bloody\nrite fell only one day later than the feast which Holy Church solemnizes\nin honour of the glorious St. Joseph. ",
"The god whom the Aztecs worshipped\nin this strange fashion was named Xipe, \"the Flayed One,\" or Totec, \"Our\nLord.\" ",
"On this occasion he also bore the solemn name of Youallauan, \"He\nwho drinks in the Night.\" ",
"His image was of stone and represented him in\nhuman form with his mouth open as if in the act of speaking; his body was\npainted yellow on the one side and drab on the other; he wore the skin of\na flayed man over his own, with the hands of the victim dangling at his\nwrists. ",
"On his head he had a hood of various colours, and about his loins\na green petticoat reaching to his knees with a fringe of small shells. ",
"In\nhis two hands he grasped a rattle like the head of a poppy with the seeds\nin it; while on his left arm he supported a yellow shield with a red rim.",
"\nAt his festival the Mexicans killed all the prisoners they had taken in\nwar, men, women, and children. ",
"The number of the victims was very great. ",
"A\nSpanish historian of the sixteenth century estimated that in Mexico more\npeople used to be sacrificed on the altar than died a natural death. ",
"All\nwho were sacrificed to Xipe, \"the Flayed God,\" were themselves flayed, and\nmen who had made a special vow to the god put on the skins of the human\nvictims and went about the city in that guise for twenty days, being\neverywhere welcomed and revered as living images of the deity. ",
"Forty days\nbefore the festival, according to the historian Duran, they chose a man to\npersonate the god, clothed him in all the insignia of the divinity, and\nled him about in public, doing him as much reverence all these days as if\nhe had really been what he pretended to be. ",
"Moreover, every parish of the\ncapital did the same; each of them had its own temple and appointed its\nown human representative of the deity, who received the homage and worship\nof the parishioners for the forty days.",
"\n\n(M230) On the day of the festival these mortal gods and all the other\nprisoners, with the exception of a few who were reserved for a different\ndeath, were killed in the usual way. ",
"The scene of the slaughter was the\nplatform on the summit of the god Huitzilopochtli's temple. ",
"Some of the\npoor wretches fainted when they came to the foot of the steps and had to\nbe dragged up the long staircase by the hair of their heads. ",
"Arrived at\nthe summit they were slaughtered one by one on the sacrificial stone by\nthe high priest, who cut open their breasts, tore out their hearts, and\nheld them up to the sun, in order to feed the great luminary with these\nbleeding relics. ",
"Then the bodies were sent rolling down the staircase,\nclattering and turning over and over like gourds as they bumped from step\nto step till they reached the bottom. ",
"There they were received by other\npriests, or rather human butchers, who with a dexterity acquired by\npractice slit the back of each body from the nape of the neck to the heels\nand peeled off the whole skin in a single piece as neatly as if it had\nbeen a sheepskin. ",
"The skinless body was then fetched away by its owner,\nthat is, by the man who had captured the prisoner in war. ",
"He took it home\nwith him, carved it, sent one of the thighs to the king, and other joints\nto friends, or invited them to come and feast on the carcase in his house.",
"\nThe skins of the human victims were also a perquisite of their captors,\nand were lent or hired out by them to men who had made a vow of going\nabout clad in the hides for twenty days. ",
"Such men clothed in the reeking\nskins of the butchered prisoners were called Xixipeme or Tototectin after\nthe god Xipe or Totec, whose living image they were esteemed and whose\ncostume they wore. ",
"Among the devotees who bound themselves to this pious\nexercise were persons who suffered from loathsome skin diseases, such as\nsmallpox, abscesses, and the itch; and among them there was a fair\nsprinkling of debauchees, who had drunk themselves nearly blind and hoped\nto recover the use of their precious eyes by parading for a month in this\ncurious mantle. ",
"Thus arrayed, they went from house to house throughout the\ncity, entering everywhere and asking alms for the love of God. ",
"On entering\na house each of these reverend palmers was made to sit on a heap of\nleaves; festoons of maize and wreaths of flowers were placed round his\nbody; and he was given wine to drink and cakes to eat. ",
"And when a mother\nsaw one of these filthy but sanctified ruffians passing along the street,\nshe would run to him with her infant and put it in his arms that he might\nbless it, which he did with unction, receiving an alms from the happy\nmother in return. ",
"The earnings of these begging-friars on their rounds\nwere sometimes considerable, for the rich people rewarded them handsomely.",
"\nWhatever they were, the collectors paid them in to the owners of the\nskins, who thus made a profit by hiring out these valuable articles of\nproperty. ",
"Every night the wearers of the skins deposited them in the\ntemple and fetched them again next morning when they set out on their\nrounds. ",
"At the end of the twenty days the skins were dry, hard, shrivelled\nand shrunken, and they smelt so villainously that people held their noses\nwhen they met the holy beggars arrayed in their fetid mantles. ",
"The time\nbeing come to rid themselves of these encumbrances, the devotees walked in\nsolemn procession, wearing the rotten skins and stinking like dead dogs,\nto the temple called Yopico, where they stripped themselves of the hides\nand plunged them into a tub or vat, after which they washed and scrubbed\nthemselves thoroughly, while their friends smacked their bare bodies\nloudly with wet hands in order to squeeze out the human grease with which\nthey were saturated. ",
"Finally, the skins were solemnly buried, as holy\nrelics, in a vault of the temple. ",
"The burial service was accompanied by\nchanting and attended by the whole people; and when it was over, one of\nthe high dignitaries preached a sermon to the assembled congregation, in\nwhich he dwelt with pathetic eloquence on the meanness and misery of human\nexistence and exhorted his hearers to lead a sober and quiet life, to\ncultivate the virtues of reverence, modesty, humility and obedience, to be\nkind and charitable to the poor and to strangers; he warned them against\nthe sins of robbery, fornication, adultery, and covetousness; and kindling\nwith the glow of his oratory, he passionately admonished, entreated, and\nimplored all who heard him to choose the good and shun the evil, drawing a\ndreadful picture of the ills that would overtake the wicked here and\nhereafter, while he painted in alluring colours the bliss in store for the\nrighteous and the rewards they might expect to receive at the hands of the\ndeity in the life to come.",
"\n\n(M231) While most of the men who masqueraded in the skins of the human\nvictims appear to have personated the Flayed God Xipe, whose name they\nbore in the form Xixipeme, others assumed the ornaments and bore the names\nof other Mexican deities, such as Huitzilopochtli and Quetzalcoatl; the\nceremony of investing them with the skins and the insignia of divinity was\ncalled _netcotoquiliztli_, which means \"to think themselves gods.\" ",
"Amongst\nthe gods thus personated was Totec. ",
"His human representative wore, over\nthe skin of the flayed man, all the splendid trappings of the deity. ",
"On\nhis head was placed a curious crown decorated with rich feathers. ",
"A golden\ncrescent dangled from his nose, golden earrings from his ears, and a\nnecklace of hammered gold encircled his neck. ",
"His feet were shod in red\nshoes decorated with quail's feathers; his loins were begirt with a\npetticoat of gorgeous plumage; and on his back three small paper flags\nfluttered and rustled in the wind. ",
"In his left hand he carried a golden\nshield and in his right a rattle, which he shook and rattled as he walked\nwith a majestic dancing step. ",
"Seats were always prepared for this human\ngod; and when he sat down, they offered him a paste made of uncooked\nmaize-flour. ",
"Also they presented to him little bunches of cobs of maize\nchosen from the seed-corn; and he received as offerings the first fruits\nand the first flowers of the season.(691)\n\n(M232) In the eighteenth and last month of their year, which fell in\nJanuary, the Mexicans held a festival in honour of the god of fire. ",
"Every\nfourth year the festival was celebrated on a grand scale by the sacrifice\nof a great many men and women, husbands and wives, who were dressed in the\ntrappings of the fire-god and regarded as his living images. ",
"Bound hand\nand foot, they were thrown alive into a great furnace, and after roasting\nin it for a little were raked out of the fire before they were dead in\norder to allow the priest to cut the hearts out of their scorched,\nblistered, and still writhing bodies in the usual way.(692) The intention\nof the sacrifice probably was to maintain the Fire-god in full vigour,\nlest he should grow decrepit or even die of old age, and mankind should\nthus be deprived of his valuable services. ",
"This important object was\nattained by feeding the fire with live men and women, who thus as it were\npoured a fresh stock of vital energy into the veins of the Fire-god and\nperhaps of his wife also. ",
"But they had to be raked out of the flames\nbefore they were dead; for clearly it would never do to let them die in\nthe fire, else the Fire-god whom they personated would die also. ",
"For the\nsame reason their hearts had to be torn from their bodies while they were\nstill palpitating; what use could the Fire-god make of human hearts that\nwere burnt to cinders?",
"\n\n(M233) This was the ordinary mode of sacrificing the human representatives\nof the Fire-god every fourth year. ",
"But in Quauhtitlan, a city distant four\nleagues from the city of Mexico, the custom was different. ",
"On the eve of\nthe festival two women were beheaded on the altar of the temple and\nafterwards flayed, faces and all, and their thigh bones extracted. ",
"Next\nmorning two men of high rank clothed themselves in the skins, including\nthe skins of the women's faces, which they put over their own; and thus\narrayed and carrying in their hands the thigh bones of the victims they\ncame down the steps of the temple roaring like wild beasts. ",
"A vast crowd\nof people had assembled to witness the spectacle, and when they saw the\ntwo men coming down the steps in the dripping skins, brandishing the\nbones, and bellowing like beasts, they were filled with fear and said,\n\"There come our gods!\" ",
"Arrived at the foot of the staircase these human\ngods engaged in a dance, which they kept up for the rest of the day, never\ndivesting themselves of the bloody skins till the festival was over.(693)\n\n(M234) The theory that the custom of wearing the skin of a flayed man or\nwoman and personating a god in that costume is intended to represent the\nresurrection of the deity derives some support from the class of persons\nwho made a vow to masquerade in the skins. ",
"They were, as we have seen,\nespecially men who suffered from diseases of the skin and the eyes: they\nhoped, we are told, by wearing the skins to be cured of their ailments,\nand the old Spanish monk who records the belief adds dryly that some were\ncured and some were not.(694) We may conjecture that by donning the skins\nof men who had acted the part of gods they expected to slough off their\nown diseased old skins and to acquire new and healthy skins, like those of\nthe deities. ",
"This notion may have been suggested to them by the\nobservation of certain animals, such as serpents and lizards, which seem\nto renew their youth by casting their skins and appear refreshed and\nrenovated in new integuments. ",
"That many savages have noticed such\ntransformations in the animal world is proved by the tales which some of\nthem tell to account for the origin of death among mankind. ",
"For example,\nthe Arawaks of British Guiana say that man was created by a good being\nwhom they call Kururumany. ",
"Once on a time this kindly creator came to\nearth to see how his creature man was getting on. ",
"But men were so\nungrateful that they tried to kill their Maker. ",
"Hence he took from them\nthe gift of immortality and bestowed it upon animals that change their\nskins, such as snakes, lizards, and beetles.(695) Again, the Tamanachiers,\nan Indian tribe of the Orinoco, tell how the creator kindly intended to\nmake men immortal by telling them that they should change their skins. ",
"He\nmeant to say that by so doing they should renew their youth like serpents\nand beetles. ",
"But the glad tidings were received with such incredulity by\nan old woman that the creator in a huff changed his tune and said very\ncurtly, \"Ye shall die.",
"\"(696)\n\n(M235) In Annam they say that Ngoc hoang sent a messenger from heaven to\ninform men that when they reached old age they should change their skins\nand live for ever, but that when serpents grew old, they must die.",
"\nUnfortunately for the human race the message was perverted in the\ntransmission, so that men do not change their skins and are therefore\nmortal, whereas serpents do cast their old skins and accordingly live for\never.(697) According to the natives of Nias the personage who was charged\nby the creator with the duty of putting the last touches to man broke his\nfast on bananas instead of on river-crabs, as he should have done; for had\nhe only eaten river-crabs, men would have changed their skins like crabs,\nand like crabs would have never died. ",
"But the serpents, wiser in their\ngeneration than men, ate the crabs, and that is why they too are\nimmortal.(698) Stories of the same sort are current among the Melanesians.",
"\nThus the natives of the Gazelle Peninsula in New Britain account for the\norigin of death by a tale very like that told in Annam. ",
"The Good Spirit,\nthey say, loved men and wished to make them immortal, but he hated\nserpents and wished to kill them. ",
"So he despatched his brother to mankind\nwith this cheering message: \"Go to men and take them the secret of\nimmortality. ",
"Tell them to cast their skin every year. ",
"So will they be\nprotected from death, for their life will be constantly renewed. ",
"But tell\nthe serpents that they must henceforth die.\" ",
"Through the carelessness or\ntreachery of the messenger this message was reversed; so that now, as we\nall know, men die and serpents live for ever by annually casting their\nskins.(699) Again, if we can trust the traditions of the Banks' Islanders\nand New Hebrideans, there was a time when men did really cast their skins\nand renew their youth. ",
"The melancholy change to mortality was brought\nabout by an old woman, who most unfortunately resumed her old cast-off\nskin to please an infant, which squalled at seeing her in her new\nintegument.(700) The Gallas of East Africa say that God sent a certain\nbird (_holawaka_, \"the sheep of God\") to tell men that they would not die,\nbut that when they grew old they would slough their skins and so renew\ntheir youth. ",
"But the bird foolishly or maliciously delivered the message\nto serpents instead of to men, and that is why ever since men have been\nmortal and serpents immortal. ",
"For that evil deed God punished the bird\nwith a painful malady from which it suffers to this day, and it sits on\nthe tops of trees and moans and wails perpetually.(701)\n\n(M236) Thus it appears that some peoples have not only observed the\ncurious transformations which certain animals undergo, but have imagined\nthat by means of such transformations the animals periodically renew their\nyouth and live for ever. ",
"From such observations and fancies it is an easy\nstep to the conclusion that man might similarly take a fresh lease of life\nand renew the lease indefinitely, if only he could contrive like the\nanimals to get a new skin. ",
"This desirable object the Mexicans apparently\nsought to accomplish by flaying men and wearing their bleeding skins like\ngarments thrown over their own. ",
"By so doing persons who suffered from\ncutaneous diseases hoped to acquire a new and healthy skin; and by so\ndoing the priests attempted not merely to revive the gods whom they had\njust slain in the persons of their human representatives, but also to\nrestore to their wasting and decaying frames all the vigour and energy of\nyouth.",
"\n\n(M237) The rites described in the preceding pages suffice to prove that\nhuman sacrifices of the sort I suppose to have prevailed at Aricia(702)\nwere, as a matter of fact, systematically offered on a large scale by a\npeople whose level of culture was probably not inferior, if indeed it was\nnot distinctly superior, to that occupied by the Italian races at the\nearly period to which the origin of the Arician priesthood must be\nreferred. ",
"The positive and indubitable evidence of the prevalence of such\nsacrifices in one part of the world may reasonably be allowed to\nstrengthen the probability of their prevalence in places for which the\nevidence is less full and trustworthy. ",
"Taken all together, the facts which\nwe have passed in review seem to shew that the custom of killing men whom\ntheir worshippers regard as divine has prevailed in many parts of the\nworld. ",
"But to clinch the argument, it is clearly desirable to prove that\nthe custom of putting to death a human representative of a god was known\nand practised in ancient Italy elsewhere than in the Arician Grove. ",
"This\nproof I now propose to adduce.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nCHAPTER VIII. ",
"THE SATURNALIA AND KINDRED FESTIVALS.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 1. ",
"The Roman Saturnalia.",
"\n\n\n(M238) In an earlier part of this book we saw that many peoples have been\nused to observe an annual period of license, when the customary restraints\nof law and morality are thrown aside, when the whole population give\nthemselves up to extravagant mirth and jollity, and when the darker\npassions find a vent which would never be allowed them in the more staid\nand sober course of ordinary life. ",
"Such outbursts of the pent-up forces of\nhuman nature, too often degenerating into wild orgies of lust and crime,\noccur most commonly at the end of the year, and are frequently associated,\nas I have had occasion to point out, with one or other of the agricultural\nseasons, especially with the time of sowing or of harvest. ",
"Now, of all\nthese periods of license the one which is best known and which in modern\nlanguages has given its name to the rest, is the Saturnalia. ",
"This famous\nfestival fell in December, the last month of the Roman year, and was\npopularly supposed to commemorate the merry reign of Saturn, the god of\nsowing and of husbandry, who lived on earth long ago as a righteous and\nbeneficent king of Italy, drew the rude and scattered dwellers on the\nmountains together, taught them to till the ground, gave them laws, and\nruled in peace. ",
"His reign was the fabled Golden Age: the earth brought\nforth abundantly: no sound of war or discord troubled the happy world: no\nbaleful love of lucre worked like poison in the blood of the industrious\nand contented peasantry. ",
"Slavery and private property were alike unknown:\nall men had all things in common. ",
"At last the good god, the kindly king,\nvanished suddenly; but his memory was cherished to distant ages, shrines\nwere reared in his honour, and many hills and high places in Italy bore\nhis name.(703) Yet the bright tradition of his reign was crossed by a dark\nshadow: his altars are said to have been stained with the blood of human\nvictims, for whom a more merciful age afterwards substituted\neffigies.(704) Of this gloomy side of the god's religion there is little\nor no trace in the descriptions which ancient writers have left us of the\nSaturnalia. ",
"Feasting and revelry and all the mad pursuit of pleasure are\nthe features that seem to have especially marked this carnival of\nantiquity, as it went on for seven days in the streets and public squares\nand houses of ancient Rome from the seventeenth to the twenty-third of\nDecember.(705)\n\n(M239) But no feature of the festival is more remarkable, nothing in it\nseems to have struck the ancients themselves more than the license granted\nto slaves at this time. ",
"The distinction between the free and the servile\nclasses was temporarily abolished. ",
"The slave might rail at his master,\nintoxicate himself like his betters, sit down at table with them, and not\neven a word of reproof would be administered to him for conduct which at\nany other season might have been punished with stripes, imprisonment, or\ndeath.(706) Nay, more, masters actually changed places with their slaves\nand waited on them at table; and not till the serf had done eating and\ndrinking was the board cleared and dinner set for his master.(707) So far\nwas this inversion of ranks carried, that each household became for a time\na mimic republic in which the high offices of state were discharged by the\nslaves, who gave their orders and laid down the law as if they were indeed\ninvested with all the dignity of the consulship, the praetorship, and the\nbench.(708) Like the pale reflection of power thus accorded to bondsmen at\nthe Saturnalia was the mock kingship for which freemen cast lots at the\nsame season. ",
"The person on whom the lot fell enjoyed the title of king,\nand issued commands of a playful and ludicrous nature to his temporary\nsubjects. ",
"One of them he might order to mix the wine, another to drink,\nanother to sing, another to dance, another to speak in his own dispraise,\nanother to carry a flute-girl on his back round the house.(709)\n\n(M240) Now, when we remember that the liberty allowed to slaves at this\nfestive season was supposed to be an imitation of the state of society in\nSaturn's time, and that in general the Saturnalia passed for nothing more\nor less than a temporary revival or restoration of the reign of that merry\nmonarch, we are tempted to surmise that the mock king who presided over\nthe revels may have originally represented Saturn himself. ",
"The conjecture\nis strongly confirmed, if not established, by a very curious and\ninteresting account of the way in which the Saturnalia was celebrated by\nthe Roman soldiers stationed on the Danube in the reign of Maximian and\nDiocletian. ",
"The account is preserved in a narrative of the martyrdom of\nSt. Dasius, which was unearthed from a Greek manuscript in the Paris\nlibrary, and published by Professor Franz Cumont of Ghent. ",
"Two briefer\ndescriptions of the event and of the custom are contained in manuscripts\nat Milan and Berlin; one of them had already seen the light in an obscure\nvolume printed at Urbino in 1727, but its importance for the history of\nthe Roman religion, both ancient and modern, appears to have been\noverlooked until Professor Cumont drew the attention of scholars to all\nthree narratives by publishing them together some years ago.(710)\nAccording to these narratives, which have all the appearance of being\nauthentic, and of which the longest is probably based on official\ndocuments, the Roman soldiers at Durostorum in Lower Moesia celebrated the\nSaturnalia year by year in the following manner. ",
"Thirty days before the\nfestival they chose by lot from amongst themselves a young and handsome\nman, who was then clothed in royal attire to resemble Saturn. ",
"Thus arrayed\nand attended by a multitude of soldiers he went about in public with full\nlicense to indulge his passions and to taste of every pleasure, however\nbase and shameful. ",
"But if his reign was merry, it was short and ended\ntragically; for when the thirty days were up and the festival of Saturn\nhad come, he cut his own throat on the altar of the god whom he\npersonated.(711) In the year 303 A.D. the lot fell upon the Christian\nsoldier Dasius, but he refused to play the part of the heathen god and\nsoil his last days by debauchery. ",
"The threats and arguments of his\ncommanding officer Bassus failed to shake his constancy, and accordingly\nhe was beheaded, as the Christian martyrologist records with minute\naccuracy, at Durostorum by the soldier John on Friday the twentieth day of\nNovember, being the twenty-fourth day of the moon, at the fourth hour.",
"\n\nSince this narrative was published by Professor Cumont, its historical\ncharacter, which had been doubted or denied, has received strong\nconfirmation from an interesting discovery. ",
"In the crypt of the cathedral\nwhich crowns the promontory of Ancona there is preserved, among other\nremarkable antiquities, a white marble sarcophagus bearing a Greek\ninscription, in characters of the age of Justinian, to the following\neffect: \"Here lies the holy martyr Dasius, brought from Durostorum.\" ",
"The\nsarcophagus was transferred to the crypt of the cathedral in 1848 from the\nchurch of San Pellegrino, under the high altar of which, as we learn from\na Latin inscription let into the masonry, the martyr's bones still repose\nwith those of two other saints. ",
"How long the sarcophagus was deposited in\nthe church of San Pellegrino, we do not know; but it is recorded to have\nbeen there in the year 1650. ",
"We may suppose that the saint's relics were\ntransferred for safety to Ancona at some time in the troubled centuries\nwhich followed his martyrdom, when Moesia was occupied and ravaged by\nsuccessive hordes of barbarian invaders.(712) At all events it appears\ncertain from the independent and mutually confirmatory evidence of the\nmartyrology and the monuments that Dasius was no mythical saint, but a\nreal man, who suffered death for his faith at Durostorum in one of the\nearly centuries of the Christian era. ",
"Finding the narrative of the\nnameless martyrologist thus established as to the principal fact recorded,\nnamely, the martyrdom of St. Dasius, we may reasonably accept his\ntestimony as to the manner and cause of the martyrdom, all the more\nbecause his narrative is precise, circumstantial, and entirely free from\nthe miraculous element. ",
"Accordingly I conclude that the account which he\ngives of the celebration of the Saturnalia among the Roman soldiers is\ntrustworthy.",
"\n\n(M241) This account sets in a new and lurid light the office of the King\nof the Saturnalia, the ancient Lord of Misrule, who presided over the\nwinter revels at Rome in the time of Horace and of Tacitus. ",
"It seems to\nprove that his business had not always been that of a mere harlequin or\nmerry-andrew whose only care was that the revelry should run high and the\nfun grow fast and furious, while the fire blazed and crackled on the\nhearth, while the streets swarmed with festive crowds, and through the\nclear frosty air, far away to the north, Soracte shewed his coronal of\nsnow. ",
"When we compare this comic monarch of the gay, the civilized\nmetropolis with his grim counterpart of the rude camp on the Danube, and\nwhen we remember the long array of similar figures, ludicrous yet tragic,\nwho in other ages and in other lands, wearing mock crowns and wrapped in\nsceptred palls, have played their little pranks for a few brief hours or\ndays, then passed before their time to a violent death, we can hardly\ndoubt that in the King of the Saturnalia at Rome, as he is depicted by\nclassical writers, we see only a feeble emasculated copy of that original,\nwhose strong features have been fortunately preserved for us by the\nobscure author of the _Martyrdom of St. Dasius_. ",
"In other words, the\nmartyrologist's account of the Saturnalia agrees so closely with the\naccounts of similar rites elsewhere, which could not possibly have been\nknown to him, that the substantial accuracy of his description may be\nregarded as established; and further, since the custom of putting a mock\nking to death as a representative of a god cannot have grown out of a\npractice of appointing him to preside over a holiday revel, whereas the\nreverse may very well have happened, we are justified in assuming that in\nan earlier and more barbarous age it was the universal practice in ancient\nItaly, wherever the worship of Saturn prevailed, to choose a man who\nplayed the part and enjoyed all the traditionary privileges of Saturn for\na season, and then died, whether by his own or another's hand, whether by\nthe knife or the fire or on the gallows-tree, in the character of the good\ngod who gave his life for the world. ",
"In Rome itself and other great towns\nthe growth of civilization had probably mitigated this cruel custom long\nbefore the Augustan age, and transformed it into the innocent shape it\nwears in the writings of the few classical writers who bestow a passing\nnotice on the holiday King of the Saturnalia. ",
"But in remoter districts the\nolder and sterner practice may long have survived; and even if after the\nunification of Italy the barbarous usage was suppressed by the Roman\ngovernment, the memory of it would be handed down by the peasants and\nwould tend from time to time, as still happens with the lowest forms of\nsuperstition among ourselves, to lead to a recrudescence of the practice,\nespecially among the rude soldiery on the outskirts of the empire over\nwhom the once iron hand of Rome was beginning to relax its grasp.(713)\n\n(M242) The resemblance between the Saturnalia of ancient and the Carnival\nof modern Italy has often been remarked; but in the light of all the facts\nthat have come before us, we may well ask whether the resemblance does not\namount to identity. ",
"We have seen that in Italy, Spain, and France, that\nis, in the countries where the influence of Rome has been deepest and most\nlasting, a conspicuous feature of the Carnival is a burlesque figure\npersonifying the festive season, which after a short career of glory and\ndissipation is publicly shot, burnt, or otherwise destroyed, to the\nfeigned grief or genuine delight of the populace.(714) If the view here\nsuggested of the Carnival is correct, this grotesque personage is no other\nthan a direct successor of the old King of the Saturnalia, the master of\nthe revels, the real man who personated Saturn and, when the revels were\nover, suffered a real death in his assumed character. ",
"The King of the Bean\non Twelfth Night and the mediaeval Bishop of Fools, Abbot of Unreason, or\nLord of Misrule are figures of the same sort and may perhaps have had a\nsimilar origin. ",
"We will consider them in the following section.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 2. ",
"The King of the Bean and the Festival of Fools.",
"\n\n\n(M243) The custom of electing by lot a King and often also a Queen of the\nBean on Twelfth Night (Epiphany, the sixth of January) or on the eve of\nthat festival used to prevail in France, Belgium, Germany, and England,\nand it is still kept up in some parts of France. ",
"It may be traced back to\nthe first half of the sixteenth century at least, and no doubt dates from\na very much more remote antiquity. ",
"At the French court the Kings\nthemselves did not disdain to countenance the mock royalty, and Louis XIV.",
"\neven supported with courtly grace the shadowy dignity in his own person.",
"\nEvery family as a rule elected its own King. ",
"On the eve of the festival a\ngreat cake was baked with a bean in it; the cake was divided in portions,\none for each member of the family, together with one for God, one for the\nVirgin, and sometimes one also for the poor. ",
"The person who obtained the\nportion containing the bean was proclaimed King of the Bean. ",
"Where a Queen\nof the Bean was elected as well as a King, a second bean was sometimes\nbaked in the cake for the Queen. ",
"Thus at Blankenheim, near Neuerburg, in\nthe Eifel, a black and a white bean were baked in the cake; he who drew\nthe piece with the black bean was King, and she who drew the white bean\nwas Queen. ",
"In Franche-Comte, at the beginning of the nineteenth century,\nthey used to put as many white haricot beans in a hat as there were\npersons present, and two beans were added; the beans were drawn\nat haphazard from the hat by a child, and they who got the beans\nwere King and Queen. ",
"In England and perhaps elsewhere the practice was to\nput a bean in the cake for the King and a pea for the Queen. ",
"But in some\nplaces only the King was elected by lot, and after his election he chose\nhis Queen for himself. ",
"Sometimes a coin was substituted for the bean in\nthe cake; but though this usage was followed in southern Germany as early\nas the first half of the sixteenth century, it is probably an innovation\non the older custom of employing a bean as the lot. ",
"In France the\ndistribution of the pieces of the cake among the persons present was made\nin accordance with the directions of a child, the youngest boy present,\nwho was placed under or on the table and addressed by the name of \"Phoebe\"\nor \"Tebe\"; he answered in Latin \"_Domine_.\" ",
"The master of the house,\nholding a piece of the cake in his hand, asked the child to whom he should\ngive it, and the child named any person he pleased. ",
"Sometimes the first\nslice of cake was regularly assigned to \"the good God\" and set aside for\nthe poor. ",
"In the name \"Phoebe\" or \"Tebe,\" by which the child was\naddressed, learned antiquaries have detected a reference to the oracle of\nApollo; but more probably the name is a simple corruption of the Latin or\nFrench word for bean (Latin _faba_, French _feve_). ",
"Immediately on his\nelection the King of the Bean was enthroned, saluted by all, and thrice\nlifted up, while he made crosses with chalk on the beams and rafters of\nthe ceiling. ",
"Great virtue was attributed to these white crosses. ",
"They were\nsupposed to protect the house for the whole year against\n\n\n \"_all injuryes and harmes_\n _Of cursed devils, sprites, and bugges, of conjurings and\n charmes._\"",
"\n\n\nThen feasting and revelry began and were kept up merrily without respect\nof persons. ",
"Every time the King or Queen drank, the whole company was\nexpected to cry, \"The King drinks!\" ",
"or \"The Queen drinks!\" ",
"Any person who\nfailed to join in the cry was punished by having his face blackened with\nsoot or a burned cork or smeared with the lees of wine. ",
"In some parts of\nthe Ardennes the custom was to fasten great horns of paper in the hair of\nthe delinquent and to put a huge pair of spectacles on his nose; and he\nhad to wear these badges of infamy till the end of the festival.(715) The\ncustom of electing a King and Queen of the Bean on Twelfth Day is still\nkept up all over the north of France. ",
"A miniature porcelain figure of a\nchild is sometimes substituted for the bean in the cake. ",
"If the lot,\nwhether bean or doll, falls to a boy he becomes King and chooses his\nQueen; if it falls to a girl she becomes Queen and chooses her King.(716)\n\n(M244) So far, apart from the crosses chalked up to ban hobgoblins,\nwitches, and bugs, the King and Queen of the Bean might seem to be merely\nplayful personages appointed at a season of festivity to lead the revels.",
"\nHowever, a more serious significance was sometimes attached to the office\nand to the ceremonies of Twelfth Day in general. ",
"Thus in Lorraine the\nheight of the hemp crop in the coming year was prognosticated from the\nheight of the King and Queen; if the King was the taller of the two, it\nwas supposed that the male hemp would be higher than the female, but that\nthe contrary would happen if the Queen were taller than the King.(717)\nAgain, in the Vosges Mountains, on the borders of Franche-Comte, it is\ncustomary on Twelfth Day for people to dance on the roofs in order to make\nthe hemp grow tall.(718) Further, in many places the beans used in the\ncake were carried to the church to be blessed by the clergy, and people\ndrew omens from the cake as to the good or ill that would befall them\nthroughout the year. ",
"Moreover, certain forms of divination were resorted\nto on Twelfth Night for the purpose of ascertaining in which month of the\nyear wheat would be dearest.(719)\n\n(M245) In Franche-Comte, particularly in the Montagne du Doubs, it is\nstill the custom on the Eve of Twelfth Night (the fifth of January) to\nlight bonfires, which appear to have, in the popular mind, some reference\nto the crops. ",
"The whole population takes part in the festivity. ",
"In the\nafternoon the young folk draw a cart about the street collecting fuel.",
"\nSome people contribute <DW19>s, others bundles of straw or of dry hemp\nstalks. ",
"Towards evening the whole of the fuel thus collected is piled up a\nlittle way from the houses and set on fire. ",
"While it blazes, the people\ndance round it, crying, \"Good year, come back! ",
"Bread and wine, come back!\"",
"\nIn the district of Pontarlier the young folk carry lighted torches about\nthe fields, shaking sparks over the sowed lands and shouting, \"_Couaille,\ncouaille, blanconnie!_\"--words of which the meaning has been\nforgotten.(720) A similar custom is commonly observed on the same day (the\nEve of Twelfth Night, the fifth of January) in the Bocage of Normandy,\nexcept that it is the fruit-trees rather than the sowed fields to which\nthe fire is applied. ",
"When the evening shadows have fallen on the\nlandscape, the darkness begins to be illuminated here and there by\ntwinkling points of fire, which multiply as the night grows late, till\nthey appear as numerous on earth as the stars in the sky. ",
"About every\nvillage, in the fields and orchards, on the crests of the hills, wandering\nlights may be discerned, vanishing and suddenly reappearing, gathering\ntogether and then dispersing, pursuing each other capriciously, and\ntracing broken lines, sparkling arabesques of fire in the gloom of night\nThe peasants are observing the ceremony of the \"Moles and Field-mice\"\n(_Taupes et Mulots_); and that evening there is not a hamlet, not a farm,\nhardly a solitary cottage that does not contribute its flame to the\ngeneral illumination, till the whole horizon seems in a blaze, and houses,\nwoods, and hills stand out in dark relief against the glow of the sky. ",
"The\nvillages vie with each other in the number and brilliancy of the fires\nthey can exhibit on this occasion. ",
"Woods and hedges are scoured to provide\nthe materials for the blaze. ",
"Torches of straw wound about poles are\nprovided in abundance; and armed with them men and women, lads and lasses,\nboys and girls, pour forth from the houses at nightfall into the fields\nand orchards. ",
"There they run about among the trees, waving the lighted\ntorches under the branches and striking the trunks with them so that the\nsparks fly out in showers. ",
"And as they do so they sing or scream at the\ntop of their voices certain traditional curses against the animals and\ninsects that injure the fruit-trees. ",
"They bid the moles and field-mice to\ndepart from their orchards, threatening to break their bones and burn\ntheir beards if they tarry. ",
"The more they do this, the larger, they\nbelieve, will be the crop of fruit in the following autumn. ",
"When everybody\nhas rushed about his own orchard, meadow or pasture in this fashion, they\nall assemble on a height or crest of a hill, where they picnic, each\nbringing his share of provisions, cider, or brandy to the feast. ",
"There,\ntoo, they kindle a huge bonfire, and dance round it, capering and\nbrandishing their torches in wild enthusiasm.(721) Customs of the same\nsort used to be observed on the same day (the Eve of Epiphany, the fifth\nof January) in the Ardennes. ",
"People ran about with burning torches,\ncommanding the moles and field-mice to go forth. ",
"Then they threw the\ntorches on the ground, and believed that by this proceeding they purified\nthe earth and made it fruitful.(722)\n\n(M246) This ceremony appears to be intended to ensure a good crop of fruit\nby burning out the animals and insects that harm the fruit-trees. ",
"In some\nparts of England it used to be customary to light fires at the same season\nfor the purpose, apparently, of procuring a plentiful crop of wheat in the\nensuing autumn. ",
"Thus, \"in the parish of Pauntley, a village on the borders\nof the county of Gloucester, next Worcestershire, and in the\nneighbourhood, a custom prevails, which is intended to prevent the smut in\nwheat. ",
"On the Eve of Twelfth-day, all the servants of every farmer\nassemble together in one of the fields that has been sown with wheat. ",
"At\nthe end of twelve lands, they make twelve fires in a row with straw,\naround one of which, much larger than the rest, they drink a cheerful\nglass of cider to their master's health, and success to the future\nharvest; then, returning home, they feast on cakes soaked in cider, which\nthey claim as a reward for their past labours in sowing the grain.",
"\"(723)\nSimilarly in Herefordshire, \"on the Eve of Twelfth Day, at the approach of\nevening, the farmers, their friends, servants, etc., ",
"all assemble, and,\nnear six o'clock, all walk together to a field where wheat is growing. ",
"The\nhighest part of the ground is always chosen, where twelve small fires, and\none large one are lighted up. ",
"The attendants, headed by the master of the\nfamily, pledge the company in old cyder, which circulates freely on these\noccasions. ",
"A circle is formed round the large fire, when a general shout\nand hallooing takes place, which you hear answered from all the villages\nand fields near; as I have myself counted fifty or sixty fires burning at\nthe same time, which are generally placed on some eminence. ",
"This being\nfinished, the company all return to the house, where the good housewife\nand her maids are preparing a good supper, which on this occasion is very\nplentiful. ",
"A large cake is always provided, with a hole in the middle.",
"\nAfter supper, the company all attend the bailiff (or head of the oxen) to\nthe wain-house, where the following particulars are observed. ",
"The master,\nat the head of his friends, fills the cup (generally of strong ale), and\nstands opposite the first or finest of the oxen (twenty-four of which I\nhave often seen tied up in their stalls together); he then pledges him in\na curious toast; the company then follow his example with all the other\noxen, addressing each by their name. ",
"This being over, the large cake is\nproduced, and is, with much ceremony, put on the horn of the first ox,\nthrough the hole in the cake; he is then tickled to make him toss his\nhead: if he throws the cake behind, it is the mistress's perquisite; if\nbefore (in what is termed the _boosy_), the bailiff claims this prize.",
"\nThis ended, the company all return to the house, the doors of which are in\nthe meantime locked, and not opened till some joyous songs are sung. ",
"On\nentering, a scene of mirth and jollity commences, and reigns thro' the\nhouse till a late, or rather an early, hour, the next morning.",
"\"(724)\n\n(M247) The custom was known as Wassailing and it was believed to have a\nbeneficial effect on the crops.(725) According to one Herefordshire\ninformant, \"on Twelfth Day they make twelve fires of straw and one large\none to burn the old witch; they sing, drink, and dance round it; without\nthis festival they think they should have no crop.",
"\"(726) This explanation\nof the large fire on Twelfth Day is remarkable and may supply the key to\nthe whole custom of kindling fires on the fields or in the orchards on\nthat day. ",
"We have seen that witches and fiends of various sorts are\nbelieved to be let loose during the Twelve Days and that in some places\nthey are formally driven away on Twelfth Night.(727) It may well be that\nthe fires lighted on that day were everywhere primarily intended to burn\nthe witches and other maleficent beings swarming invisible in the\nmischief-laden air, and that the benefit supposed to be conferred by the\nfires on the crops was not so much the positive one of quickening the\ngrowth of vegetation by genial warmth as the negative one of destroying\nthe baleful influences which would otherwise blast the fruits of the earth\nand of the trees. ",
"This interpretation of the English and French custom of\nlighting fires in fields and orchards on Twelfth Night is confirmed by a\nparallel custom observed by Macedonian peasants for the express purpose of\nburning up certain malicious fiends, who are believed to be abroad at this\nseason. ",
"These noxious beings are known as _Karkantzari_ or _Skatsantzari_.",
"\nThey are thought to be living people, whether men or women, who during the\nTwelve Days are transformed into horrible monsters, with long nails, red\nfaces, bloodshot eyes, snottering noses, and slobbering mouths. ",
"In this\nhideous guise they roam about by night haunting houses and making the\npeasant's life well-nigh unbearable; they knock at the doors and should\nthey be refused admittance they will scramble down the chimney and pinch,\nworry, and defile the sleepers in their beds. ",
"The only way to escape from\nthese tormenters is to seize and bind them fast with a straw rope. ",
"If you\nhave no such rope or your heart fails you, there is nothing for it but to\nshut yourself up in the house before dark, fasten the door tight, block up\nthe chimney, and wait for daylight; for it is only at night that the\nmonsters are on the prowl, during the day they resume their ordinary human\nshape. ",
"However, in some places strenuous efforts are made during the\nTwelve Days to destroy these hateful nocturnal goblins by fire. ",
"For\nexample, on Christmas Eve some people burn the _Karkantzari_ by lighting\n<DW19>s of holm-oak and throwing them out into the streets at early dawn.",
"\nIn other places, notably at Melenik, they scald the fiends to death on New\nYear's Eve by means of pancakes frizzling and hissing in a pan. ",
"While the\ngoodwife is baking the cakes, the goodman disguises himself as one of the\nfiends in a fur coat turned inside out, and in his assumed character\ndances and sings outside the door, while he invites his wife to join him\nin the dance. ",
"In other districts people collect <DW19>s during the whole\nof the Twelve Days and lay them up on the hearth. ",
"Then on the Eve of\nTwelfth Night they set fire to the pile in order that the goblins, who are\nsupposed to be lurking under the ashes, may utterly perish.(728) Thus the\nview that the large fire in Herefordshire on Twelfth Night is intended \"to\nburn the old witch\" is far more probable than the opinion that it\nrepresents the Virgin Mary, and that the other twelve fires stand for the\ntwelve apostles.(729) This latter interpretation is in all probability\nnothing more than a Christian gloss put upon an old heathen custom of\nwhich the meaning was forgotten.",
"\n\n(M248) The Gloucestershire custom was described by the English traveller\nThomas Pennant in the latter part of the eighteenth century. ",
"He says: \"A\ncustom savouring of the Scotch Bel-tien prevales in Gloucestershire,\nparticularly about Newent and the neighbouring parishes, on the twelfth\nday, or on the Epiphany, in the evening. ",
"All the servants of every\nparticular farmer assemble together in one of the fields that has been\nsown with wheat; on the border of which, in the most conspicuous or most\nelevated place, they make twelve fires of straw, in a row; around one of\nwhich, made larger than the rest, they drink a cheerful glass of cyder to\ntheir master's health, success to the future harvest, and then returning\nhome, they feast on cakes made of carraways, etc., ",
"soaked in cyder, which\nthey claim as a reward for their past labours in sowing the grain.",
"\"(730)\nIn Shropshire also it used to be customary to kindle festal fires on the\ntops of hills and other high places on Twelfth Night.(731) Again, in\nIreland \"on Twelfth-Eve in Christmas, they use to set up as high as they\ncan a sieve of oats, and in it a dozen of candles set round, and in the\ncentre one larger, all lighted. ",
"This in memory of our Saviour and his\nApostles, lights of the world.",
"\"(732) Down to the present time, apparently,\nin the county of Roscommon, \"Twelfth Night, which is Old Christmas Day, is\na greater day than Christmas Day itself. ",
"Thirteen rushlights are made in\nremembrance of the numbers at the Last Supper, and each is named after\nsome member of the family. ",
"If there are not enough in the household other\nrelations' names are added. ",
"The candles are stuck in a cake of cow-dung\nand lighted, and as each burns out, so will be the length of each person's\nlife. ",
"Rushlights are only used for this occasion.",
"\"(733)\n\n(M249) In these English and Irish customs observed on Twelfth Night the\ntwelve fires or candles probably refer either to the twelve days from\nChristmas to Epiphany or to the twelve months of the year. ",
"In favour of\nthis view it may be said that according to a popular opinion, which has\nbeen reported in England(734) and is widely diffused in Germany and the\nGerman provinces of Austria, the weather of the twelve days in question\ndetermines the weather of the twelve following months, so that from the\nweather on each of these days it is possible to predict the weather of the\ncorresponding month in the ensuing year.(735) Hence in Swabia the days are\ncalled \"the Twelve Lot Days\"; and many people seek to pry into the future\nwith scientific precision by means of twelve circles, each subdivided into\nfour quadrants, which they chalk up over the parlour door or inscribe on\npaper. ",
"Each circle represents a month, and each quadrant represents a\nquarter of a month; and according as the sky is overcast or clear during\neach quarter of a day from Christmas to Epiphany, you shade the\ncorresponding quadrant of a circle or leave it a blank. ",
"By this\ncontrivance, as simple as it is ingenious, you may forecast the weather\nfor the whole year with more or less of accuracy.(736) At Hosskirch in\nSwabia they say that you can predict the weather for the twelve months\nfrom the weather of the twelve hours of Twelfth Day alone.(737) A somewhat\ndifferent system of meteorology is adopted in various parts of\nSwitzerland, Germany, and Austria. ",
"On Christmas, New Year's Day, or\nanother of the twelve days you take an onion, slice it in two, peel off\ntwelve coats, and sprinkle a pinch of salt in each of them. ",
"The twelve\ncoats of the onion stand for the twelve months of the year, and from the\namount of moisture which has gathered in each of them next morning you may\nforetell the amount of rain that will fall in the corresponding\nmonth.(738)\n\n(M250) But the belief that the weather of the twelve months can be\npredicted from the weather of the twelve days is not confined to the\nGermanic peoples. ",
"It occurs also in France and among the Celts of Brittany\nand Scotland. ",
"Thus in the Bocage of Normandy \"the village old wives have a\nvery simple means of divining the general temperature of the coming\nseason. ",
"According to them, the twelve days between Christmas and Epiphany,\nincluding Epiphany, represent the twelve months of the year. ",
"So the thing\nto do is to mark the temperature of each of these days, for the\ntemperature of the corresponding month will be relatively the same. ",
"Some\npeople say that this experience is rarely at fault, and more trust is put\nin it than in the predictions of the _Double-Liegois_.\"(739) In\nCornouaille, Brittany, it is popularly believed that the weather of the\nlast six days of December and the first six of January prognosticates the\nweather of the twelve months; but in other parts of Brittany it is the\nfirst twelve days of January that are supposed to be ominous of the\nweather for the year. ",
"These days are called _gour-deziou_, which is\ncommonly interpreted \"male days,\" but is said to mean properly \"additional\nor supplementary days.",
"\"(740) Again, in the Highlands of Scotland the\ntwelve days of Christmas (_Da latha dheug na Nollaig_) \"were the twelve\ndays commencing from the Nativity or Big _Nollaig_, and were deemed to\nrepresent, in respect of weather, the twelve months of the year. ",
"Some say\nthe days should be calculated from New Year's Day.",
"\"(741) Others again\nreckon the Twelve Days from the thirty-first of December. ",
"Thus Pennant\ntells us that \"the Highlanders form a sort of almanack or presage of the\nweather of the ensuing year in the following manner: they make observation\non twelve days, beginning at the last of December, and hold as an\ninfallible rule, that whatsoever weather happens on each of those days,\nthe same will prove to agree in the correspondent months. ",
"Thus, January is\nto answer to the weather of December 31st; February to that of January\n1st; and so with the rest. ",
"Old people still pay great attention to this\naugury.",
"\"(742) It is interesting to observe that in the Celtic regions of\nScotland and France popular opinion hesitates as to the exact date of the\ntwelve days, some people dating them from Christmas, others from the New\nYear, and others again from the thirty-first of December. ",
"This hesitation\nhas an important bearing on the question of the origin of the twelve days'\nperiod, as I shall point out immediately.",
"\n\n(M251) Thus in the popular mind the twelve days from Christmas to Epiphany\nare conceived as a miniature of the whole year, the character of each\nparticular day answering to the character of a particular month. ",
"The\nconception appears to be very ancient, for it meets us again among the\nAryans of the Vedic age in India. ",
"They, too, appear to have invested\ntwelve days in midwinter with a sacred character as a time when the three\nRibhus or genii of the seasons rested from their labours in the home of\nthe sun-god; and these twelve rest-days they called \"an image or copy of\nthe year.",
"\"(743)\n\n(M252) This curious coincidence, if such it is, between the winter\nfestivals of the ancient Aryans of India and their modern kinsfolk in\nEurope seems to be best explained on the theory that the twelve days in\nquestion derive their sanctity from the position which they occupied in\nthe calendar of the primitive Aryans. ",
"The coincidence of the name for\nmonth with the name for moon in the various Aryan languages(744) points to\nthe conclusion that the year of our remote ancestors was primarily based\non observation of the moon rather than of the sun; but as a year of twelve\nlunar months or three hundred and fifty-four days (reckoning the months at\ntwenty-nine and thirty days alternately) falls short of the solar year of\nthree hundred and sixty-five and a quarter days by roundly twelve days,\nthe discrepancy could not fail to attract the attention of an intelligent\npeople, such as the primitive Aryans must be supposed to have been, who\nhad made some progress in the arts of life; and the most obvious way of\nremoving the discrepancy and equating the lunar with the solar year is to\nadd twelve days at the end of each period of twelve lunar months so as to\nbring the total days of the year up to three hundred and sixty-six. ",
"The\nequation is not indeed perfectly exact, but it may well have been\nsufficiently so for the rudimentary science of the primitive Aryans.(745)\nAs many savage races in modern times have observed the discrepancy between\nsolar and lunar time and have essayed to correct it by observations of the\nsun or the constellations, especially the Pleiades,(746) there seems no\nreason to doubt that the ancestors of the Indo-European peoples in\nprehistoric times were able to make similar observations, and that they\nwere not, as has been suggested, reduced to the necessity of borrowing the\nknowledge of such simple and obvious facts from the star-gazers of ancient\nBabylonia. ",
"Learned men who make little use of their eyes except to read\nbooks are too apt to underrate the observational powers of the savage, who\nlives under totally different conditions from us, spending most of his\ntime in the open air and depending for his very existence on the accuracy\nwith which he notes the varied and changing aspects of nature.",
"\n\n(M253) It has been proposed to explain the manifold superstitions which\ncluster round the Twelve Days, or rather the Twelve Nights, as they are\nmore popularly called,(747) by reference to the place which they occupy in\nthe Christian calendar, beginning as they do immediately after Christmas\nand ending with Epiphany.(748) But, in the first place, it is difficult to\nsee why the interval between these two particular festivals should have\nattracted to itself a greater mass of superstitious belief and custom than\nthe interval between any other two Christian festivals in the calendar; if\nit really did so, the ground of its special attraction is still to seek,\nand on this essential point the advocates of the Christian origin of the\nTwelve Nights throw no light. ",
"In the second place, the superstitious\nbeliefs and customs themselves appear to have no relation to Christianity\nbut to be purely pagan in character. ",
"Lastly, a fatal objection to the\ntheory in question is that the place of the Twelve Days in the calendar is\nnot uniformly fixed to the interval between Christmas and Epiphany; it\nvaries considerably in popular opinion in different places, but it is\nsignificant that the variations never exceed certain comparatively narrow\nlimits. ",
"The twelve-days' festival, so to speak, oscillates to and fro\nabout a fixed point, which is either the end of the year or the winter\nsolstice. ",
"Thus in Silesia the Twelve Days are usually reckoned to fall\nbefore Christmas instead of after it; though in the Polish districts and\nthe mountainous region of the country the ordinary German opinion prevails\nthat the days immediately follow Christmas.(749) In some parts of Bavaria\nthe Twelve Days are counted from St. Thomas's Day (the twenty-first of\nDecember) to New Year's Day; while in parts of Mecklenburg they begin with\nNew Year's Day and so coincide with the first twelve days of January,(750)\nand this last mode of reckoning finds favour, as we saw, with some Celts\nof Brittany and Scotland.(751) These variations in the dating of the\nTwelve Days seem irreconcilable with the theory that they derive their\nsuperstitious character purely from the accident that they fall between\nChristmas and Epiphany; accordingly we may safely dismiss the theory of\ntheir Christian origin and recognize, with many good authorities,(752) in\nthe Twelve Days the relics of a purely pagan festival, which was probably\ncelebrated long before the foundation of Christianity. ",
"In truth the\nhypothesis of the Christian derivation of the Twelve Days in all\nprobability exactly inverts the historical order of the facts. ",
"On the\nwhole the evidence goes to shew that the great Christian festivals were\narbitrarily timed by the church so as to coincide with previously existing\npagan festivals for the sake of weaning the heathen from their old faith\nand bringing them over to the new religion. ",
"To make the transition as easy\nas possible the ecclesiastical authorities, in abolishing the ancient\nrites, appointed ceremonies of somewhat similar character on the same\ndays, or nearly so, thus filling up the spiritual void by a new creation\nwhich the worshipper might accept as an adequate substitute for what he\nhad lost. ",
"Christmas and Easter, the two pivots on which the Christian\ncalendar revolves, appear both to have been instituted with this\nintention: the one superseded a midwinter festival of the birth of the\nsun-god, the other superseded a vernal festival of the death and\nresurrection of the vegetation-god.(753)\n\n(M254) If the twelve days from Christmas to Epiphany were indeed an\nancient intercalary period inserted for the purpose of equating the lunar\nto the solar year, we can better understand the curious superstitions that\nhave clustered round them and the quaint customs that have been annually\nobserved during their continuance. ",
"To the primitive mind it might well\nseem that an intercalary period stands outside of the regular order of\nthings, forming part neither of the lunar nor of the solar system; it is\nan excrescence, inevitable but unaccountable, which breaks the smooth\nsurface of ordinary existence, an eddy which interrupts the even flow of\nmonths and years. ",
"Hence it may be inferred that the ordinary rules of\nconduct do not apply to such extraordinary periods, and that accordingly\nmen may do in them what they would never dream of doing at other times.",
"\nThus intercalary days tend to degenerate into seasons of unbridled\nlicense; they form an interregnum during which the customary restraints of\nlaw and morality are suspended and the ordinary rulers abdicate their\nauthority in favour of a temporary regent, a sort of puppet king, who\nbears a more or less indefinite, capricious, and precarious sway over a\ncommunity given up for a time to riot, turbulence, and disorder. ",
"If that\nis so--though it must be confessed that the view here suggested is to a\ngreat extent conjectural--we may perhaps detect the last surviving\nrepresentatives of such puppet kings in the King of the Bean and other\ngrotesque figures of the same sort who used to parade with the mimic pomp\nof sovereignty on one or other of the twelve days between Christmas and\nEpiphany. ",
"For the King of the Bean was by no means the only such ruler of\nthe festive season, nor was Twelfth Night the only day on which he and his\ncolleagues played their pranks. ",
"We will conclude this part of our subject\nwith a brief notice of some of these mummers.",
"\n\n(M255) In the first place it deserves to be noticed that in many parts of\nthe continent, such as France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, and Austria,\nTwelfth Day is regularly associated with three mythical kings named\nCaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, and derives its popular appellation from\nthem, being known in Germany and Austria as the Day of the Three Kings\n(_Dreikoenigstag_) and in France as the Festival of the Kings (_Fete des\nRois_). ",
"Further, it has been customary in many places to represent the\nthree kings by mummers, who go about arrayed in royal costume from door to\ndoor, singing songs and collecting contributions from the households which\nthey visit.(754) The custom may very well be older than Christianity,\nthough it has received a Christian colouring; for the mythical kings are\ncommonly identified with the wise men of the East, who are said to have\nbeen attracted to the infant Christ at Bethlehem by the sight of his star\nin the sky.(755) Yet there is no Biblical authority for regarding these\nwise men as kings or for fixing their number at three. ",
"In Franche-Comte\nthe old custom is still observed, or at all events it was so down to\nrecent years. ",
"The Three Kings are personated by three boys dressed in long\nwhite shirts with sashes round their waists; on their heads they\nwear pointed mitres of pasteboard decorated with a gilt star and floating\nribbons. ",
"Each carries a long wand topped by a star, which he keeps\nconstantly turning. ",
"The one who personates Melchior has his face blackened\nwith soot, because Melchior is supposed to have been a <DW64> king. ",
"When\nthey enter a house, they sing a song, setting forth that they are three\nkings who have come from three different countries, led by a star, to\nadore the infant Jesus at Bethlehem. ",
"After the song the <DW64> king\nsolicits contributions by shaking his money-box or holding out a basket,\nin which the inmates of the house deposit eggs, nuts, apples and so forth.",
"\nBy way of thanks for this liberality the three kings chant a stave in\nwhich they call down the blessing of God on the household.(756) The custom\nis similar in the Vosges Mountains, where the Three Kings are held in\ngreat veneration and invoked by hedge doctors to effect various cures. ",
"For\nexample, if a man drops to the ground with the falling sickness, you need\nonly whisper in his right ear, \"_Gaspard fert myrrham, thus Melchior,\nBalthasar aurum_,\" and he will get up at once. ",
"But to make the cure\ncomplete you must knock three nails into the earth on the precise spot\nwhere he fell; each nail must be exactly of the length of the patient's\nlittle finger, and as you knock it in you must take care to utter the\nsufferer's name.(757) In many Czech villages of Bohemia the children who\nplay the part of the Three Kings assimilate themselves to the wise men of\nthe East in the gospel by carrying gilt paper, incense, and myrrh with\nthem on their rounds, which they distribute as gifts in the houses they\nvisit, receiving in return money or presents in kind. ",
"Moreover they\nfumigate and sprinkle the houses and describe crosses and letters on the\ndoors. ",
"Amongst the Germans of West Bohemia it is the schoolmaster who,\naccompanied by some boys, goes the round of the village on Twelfth Day. ",
"He\nchalks up the letters C. M. B. (the initials of Caspar, Melchior, and\nBalthasar), together with three crosses, on every door, and fumigates the\nhouse with a burning censer in order to guard it from evil influences and\ninfectious diseases.(758) Some people used to wear as an amulet a picture\nrepresenting the adoration of the Three Kings with a Latin inscription to\nthe following effect: \"Holy three kings, Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar, pray\nfor us, now and in the hour of our death.\" ",
"The picture was thought to\nprotect the wearer not only from epilepsy, headache, and fever, but also\nfrom the perils of the roads, from the bite of mad dogs, from sudden\ndeath, from sorcery and witchcraft.(759) Whatever its origin, the festival\nof the Three Kings goes back to the middle ages, for it is known to have\nbeen celebrated with great pomp at Milan in 1336. ",
"On that occasion the\nThree Kings appeared wearing crowns, riding richly caparisoned horses, and\nsurrounded by pages, bodyguards, and a great retinue of followers. ",
"Before\nthem was carried a golden star, and they offered gifts of gold,\nfrankincense, and myrrh to the infant Christ cradled in a manger beside\nthe high altar of the church of St. Eustorgius.(760)\n\n(M256) In our own country a popular figure during the Christmas holidays\nused to be the Lord of Misrule, or, as he was called in Scotland, the\nAbbot of Unreason, who led the revels at that merry season in the halls of\ncolleges, the Inns of Court, the palace of the king, and the mansions of\nnobles.(761) Writing at the end of the sixteenth century, the antiquary\nJohn Stow tells us that, \"in the feast of Christmas, there was in the\nKing's house, wheresoever he was lodged, a Lord of Misrule, or Master of\nMerry Disports; and the like had ye in the house of every nobleman of\nhonour or good worship, were he spiritual or temporal. ",
"Amongst the which\nthe Mayor of London, and either of the Sheriffs, had their several Lords\nof Misrule, ever contending, without quarrel or offence, who should make\nthe rarest pastimes to delight the beholders. ",
"These Lords beginning their\nrule on Alhollon eve, continued the same til the morrow after the Feast of\nthe Purification, commonly called Candlemas day. ",
"In all which space there\nwere fine and subtle disguisings, masks and mummeries, with playing at\ncards for counters, nails, and points, in every house, more for pastime\nthan for gain.",
"\"(762) Again, in the seventeenth century the ardent royalist\nSir Thomas Urquhart wrote that \"they may be likewise said to use their\nking ... as about Christmas we do the King of Misrule; whom we invest with\nthat title to no other end, but to countenance the Bacchanalian riots and\npreposterous disorders of the family, where he is installed.",
"\"(763) From\nthe former passage it appears that the Lords of Misrule often or even\ngenerally reigned for more than three months in winter, namely from\nAllhallow Even (the thirty-first of October, the Eve of All Saints' Day)\ntill Candlemas (the second of February). ",
"Sometimes, however, their reign\nseems to have been restricted to the Twelve Nights. ",
"Thus we are told that\nGeorge Ferrers of Lincoln's Inn was Lord of Misrule for twelve days one\nyear when King Edward VI. ",
"kept his Christmas with open house at\nGreenwich.(764) At Trinity College, Cambridge, a Master of Arts used to be\nappointed to this honourable office, which he held for the twelve days\nfrom Christmas to Twelfth Day, and he resumed office on Candlemas Day. ",
"His\nduty was to regulate the games and diversions of the students,\nparticularly the plays which were acted in the college hall. ",
"Similar\nmasters of the revels were commonly instituted in the colleges at Oxford;\nfor example, at Merton College the fellows annually elected about St.\nEdmund's Day, in November a Lord of Misrule or, as he was called in the\nregisters, a King of the Bean (_Rex Fabarum_), who held office till\nCandlemas and sometimes assumed a number of ridiculous titles. ",
"In the\nInner Temple a Lord of Misrule used to be appointed on St. Stephen's Day\n(the twenty-sixth of December); surrounded by his courtiers, who were\ndubbed by various derogatory or ribald names, he presided at the dancing,\nfeasting, and minstrelsy in the hall. ",
"Of the mock monarch who in the\nChristmas holidays of 1635 held office in the Middle Temple the\njurisdiction, privileges, and parade have been minutely described. ",
"He was\nattended by his lord keeper, lord treasurer, with eight white staves, a\nband of gentleman pensioners with poleaxes, and two chaplains. ",
"He dined\nunder a canopy of state both in the hall and in his own chambers. ",
"He\nreceived many petitions, which he passed on in regal style to his Master\nof Requests; and he attended service in the Temple church, where his\nchaplains preached before him and did him reverence. ",
"His expenses,\ndefrayed from his own purse, amounted to no less than two thousand\npounds.(765) \"I remember to have heard a Bencher of the Temple tell a\nstory of a tradition in their house, where they had formerly a custom of\nchoosing kings for such a season, and allowing him his expences at the\ncharge of the society: One of our kings, said my friend, carried his royal\ninclination a little too far, and there was a committee ordered to look\ninto the management of his treasury. ",
"Among other things it appeared, that\nhis Majesty walking _incog._ ",
"in the cloister, had overheard a poor man say\nto another, Such a small sum would make me the happiest man in the world.",
"\nThe king out of his royal compassion privately inquired into his\ncharacter, and finding him a proper object of charity, sent him the money.",
"\nWhen the committee read the report, the house passed his accounts with a\nplaudite without further examination, upon the recital of this article in\nthem, 'For making a man happy, L10:0:0.' \"(",
"766)\n\n(M257) At the English court the annual Lord of Misrule is not to be\nconfounded with the Master of the Revels, who was a permanent official and\nprobably despised the temporary Lord as an upstart rival and intruder.",
"\nCertainly there seems to have been at times bad blood between them. ",
"Some\ncorrespondence which passed between the two merry monarchs in the reign of\nEdward VI. ",
"has been preserved, and from it we learn that on one occasion\nthe Lord of Misrule had much difficulty in extracting from the Master of\nthe Revels the fool's coat, hobby-horses, and other trumpery paraphernalia\nwhich he required for the proper support of his dignity. ",
"Indeed the\ncostumes furnished by his rival were so shabby that his lordship returned\nthem with a note, in which he informed the Master of the Revels that the\ngentlemen of rank and position who were to wear these liveries stood too\nmuch on their dignity to be seen prancing about the streets of London\nrigged out in such old slops. ",
"The Lords of Council had actually to\ninterpose in the petty squabble between the two potentates.(767)\n\n(M258) In France the counterparts of these English Lords of Misrule\nmasqueraded in clerical attire as mock Bishops, Archbishops, Popes, or\nAbbots. ",
"The festival at which they disported themselves was known as the\nFestival of Fools (_Fete des Fous_), which fell in different places at\ndifferent dates, sometimes on Christmas Day, sometimes on St. Stephen's\nDay (the twenty-sixth of December), sometimes on New Year's Day, and\nsometimes on Twelfth Day. ",
"According to one account \"on the first day,\nwhich was the festival of Christmas, the lower orders of clergy and monks\ncried in unison _Noel_ (Christmas) and gave themselves up to jollity. ",
"On\nthe morrow, St. Stephen's Day, the deacons held a council to elect a Pope\nor Patriarch of Fools, a Bishop or Archbishop of Innocents, an Abbot of\nNinnies; next day, the festival of St. John, the subdeacons began the\ndance in his honour; afterwards, on the fourth day, the festival of the\nHoly Innocents, the choristers and minor clergy claimed the Pope or Bishop\nor Abbot elect, who made his triumphal entry into the church on\nCircumcision Day (the first of January) and sat enthroned pontifically\ntill the evening of Epiphany. ",
"It was then the joyous reign of this Pope or\nthis Bishop or this Abbot of Folly which constituted the Festival of Fools\nand dominated its whimsical phases, the grotesque and sometimes impious\nmasquerades, the merry and often disgusting scenes, the furious orgies,\nthe dances, the games, the profane songs, the impudent parodies of the\ncatholic liturgy.",
"\"(768) At these parodies of the most solemn rites of the\nchurch the priests, wearing grotesque masks and sometimes dressed as\nwomen, danced in the choir and sang obscene chants: laymen disguised as\nmonks and nuns mingled with the clergy: the altar was transformed into a\ntavern, where the deacons and subdeacons ate sausages and black-puddings\nor played at dice and cards under the nose of the celebrant; and the\ncensers smoked with bits of old shoes instead of incense, filling the\nchurch with a foul stench. ",
"After playing these pranks and running,\nleaping, and cutting capers through the whole church, they rode about the\ntown in mean carts, exchanging scurrilities with the crowds of laughing\nand jeering spectators.(769)\n\n(M259) Amongst the buffooneries of the Festival of Fools one of the most\nremarkable was the introduction of an ass into the church, where various\npranks were played with the animal. ",
"At Autun the ass was led with great\nceremony to the church under a cloth of gold, the corners of which were\nheld by four canons; and on entering the sacred edifice the animal was\nwrapt in a rich cope, while a parody of the mass was performed. ",
"A regular\nLatin liturgy in glorification of the ass was chanted on these occasions,\nand the celebrant priest imitated the braying of an ass. ",
"At Beauvais the\nceremony was performed every year on the fourteenth of January. ",
"A young\ngirl with a child in her arms rode on the back of the ass in imitation of\nthe Flight into Egypt. ",
"Escorted by the clergy and the people she was led\nin triumph from the cathedral to the parish church of St. Stephen. ",
"There\nshe and her ass were introduced into the chancel and stationed on the left\nside of the altar; and a long mass was performed which consisted of scraps\nborrowed indiscriminately from the services of many church festivals\nthroughout the year. ",
"In the intervals the singers quenched their thirst:\nthe congregation imitated their example; and the ass was fed and watered.",
"\nThe services over, the animal was brought from the chancel into the nave,\nwhere the whole congregation, clergy and laity mixed up together, danced\nround the animal and brayed like asses. ",
"Finally, after vespers and\ncompline, the merry procession, led by the precentor and preceded by a\nhuge lantern, defiled through the streets to wind up the day with indecent\nfarces in a great theatre erected opposite the church.(770)\n\n(M260) A pale reflection or diminutive copy of the Festival of Fools was\nthe Festival of the Innocents, which was celebrated on Childermas or Holy\nInnocents' Day, the twenty-eighth of December. ",
"The custom was widely\nobserved both in France and England. ",
"In France on Childermas or the eve of\nthe festival the choristers assembled in the church and chose one of their\nnumber to be a Boy Bishop, who officiated in that character with mock\nsolemnity. ",
"Such burlesques of ecclesiastical ritual appear to have been\ncommon on that day in monasteries and convents, where the offices\nperformed by the clergy and laity were inverted for the occasion. ",
"At the\nFranciscan monastery of Antibes, for example, the lay brothers, who\nusually worked in the kitchen and the garden, took the place of the\npriests on Childermas and celebrated mass in church, clad in tattered\nsacerdotal vestments turned inside out, holding the books upside down,\nwearing spectacles made of orange peel, mumbling an unintelligible jargon,\nand uttering frightful cries. ",
"These buffooneries were kept up certainly as\nlate as the eighteenth century,(771) and probably later. ",
"In the great\nconvent of the Congregation de Notre Dame at Paris down to the latter part\nof the nineteenth century the nuns and their girl pupils regularly\nexchanged parts on Holy Innocents' Day. ",
"The pupils pretended to be nuns\nand a select few of them were attired as such, while the nuns made believe\nto be pupils, without however changing their dress.(772)\n\n(M261) In England the Boy Bishop was widely popular during the later\nMiddle Ages and only succumbed to the austerity of the Reformation. ",
"He is\nknown, for example, to have officiated in St. Paul's, London, in the\ncathedrals of Salisbury, Exeter, Hereford, Gloucester, Lichfield, Norwich,\nLincoln, and York, in great collegiate churches such as Beverley minster,\nSt. Peter's, Canterbury, and Ottery St. Mary's, in college chapels such as\nMagdalen and All Souls' at Oxford, in the private chapels of the king, and\nin many parish churches throughout the country. ",
"The election was usually\nmade on St. Nicholas's Day (the sixth of December), but the office and\nauthority lasted till Holy Innocents' Day (the twenty-eighth of December).",
"\nBoth days were appropriate, for St. Nicholas was the patron saint of\nschool children, and Holy Innocents' Day commemorates the slaughter of the\nyoung children by Herod. ",
"In cathedrals the Bishop was chosen from among\nthe choir boys. ",
"After his election he was completely apparelled in the\nepiscopal vestments, with a mitre and crosier, bore the title and\ndisplayed the state of a Bishop, and exacted ceremonial obedience from his\nfellows, who were dressed like priests. ",
"They took possession of the church\nand, with the exception of mass, performed all the ceremonies and offices.",
"\nThe Boy Bishop preached from the pulpit. ",
"At Salisbury the ceremonies at\nwhich he presided are elaborately regulated by the statutes of Roger de\nMortival, enacted in 1319; and two of the great service-books of the Sarum\nuse, the Breviary and the Processional, furnish full details of the\nministrations of the Boy Bishop and his fellows. ",
"He is even said to have\nenjoyed the right of disposing of such prebends as happened to fall vacant\nduring the days of his episcopacy. ",
"But the pranks of the mock bishop were\nnot confined to the church. ",
"Arrayed in full canonicals he was led about\nwith songs and dances from house to house, blessing the grinning people\nand collecting money in return for his benedictions. ",
"At York in the year\n1396 the Boy Bishop is known to have gone on his rounds to places so far\ndistant as Bridlington, Leeds, Beverley, Fountains Abbey, and Allerton;\nand the profits which he made were considerable. ",
"William of Wykeham\nordained in 1400 that a Boy Bishop should be chosen at Winchester College\nand another at New College, Oxford, and that he should recite the office\nat the Feast of the Innocents. ",
"His example was followed some forty years\nafterwards in the statutes of the royal foundations of Eton College and of\nKing's College, Cambridge. ",
"From being elected on St. Nicholas's Day the\nBoy Bishop was sometimes called a Nicholas Bishop (_Episcopus\nNicholatensis_).(773) In Spanish cathedrals, also, it appears to have been\ncustomary on St. Nicholas's Day to elect a chorister to the office of\nBishop. ",
"He exercised a certain jurisdiction till Holy Innocents' Day, and\nhis prebendaries took secular offices, acting in the capacity of\nalguazils, catchpoles, dog-whippers, and sweepers.(774)\n\n(M262) On the whole it seems difficult to suppose that the a curious\nsuperstitions and quaint ceremonies, the outbursts of profanity and the\ninversions of ranks, which characterize the popular celebration of the\ntwelve days from Christmas to Epiphany, have any connexion with the\nepisodes of Christian history believed to be commemorated by these two\nfestivals. ",
"More probably they are relics of an old heathen festival\ncelebrated during the twelve intercalary days which our forefathers\nannually inserted in their calendar at midwinter in order to equalize the\nshort lunar year of twelve months with the longer solar year of three\nhundred and sixty-five or sixty-six days. ",
"We need not assume that the\nlicense and buffooneries of the festive season were borrowed from the\nRoman Saturnalia; both celebrations may well have been parallel and\nindependent deductions from a like primitive philosophy of nature. ",
"There\nis not indeed, so far as I am aware, any direct evidence that the\nSaturnalia at Rome was an intercalary festival; but the license which\ncharacterized it, and the temporary reign of a mock king, who personated\nSaturn, suggest that it may have been so. ",
"If we were better acquainted\nwith the intercalary periods of peoples at a comparatively low level of\nculture, we might find that they are commonly marked by similar outbreaks\nof lawlessness and similar reigns of more or less nominal and farcical\nrulers. ",
"But unfortunately we know too little about the observance of such\nperiods among primitive peoples to be warranted in making any positive\naffirmation on the subject.",
"\n\n(M263) However, there are grounds for thinking that intercalary periods\nhave commonly been esteemed unlucky. ",
"The Aztecs certainly regarded as very\nunlucky the five supplementary days which they added at the end of every\nyear in order to make up a total of three hundred and sixty-five\ndays.(775) These five supplementary days, corresponding to the last four\nof January and the first of February, were called _nemontemi_, which means\n\"vacant,\" \"superfluous,\" or \"useless.\" ",
"Being dedicated to no god, they\nwere deemed inauspicious, equally unfit for the services of religion and\nthe transaction of civil business. ",
"During their continuance no sacrifices\nwere offered by the priests and no worshippers frequented the temples. ",
"No\ncases were tried in the courts of justice. ",
"The houses were not swept.",
"\nPeople abstained from all actions of importance and confined themselves to\nperforming such as could not be avoided, or spent the time in paying\nvisits to each other. ",
"In particular they were careful during these fatal\ndays not to fall asleep in the daytime, not to quarrel, and not to\nstumble; because they thought that if they did such things at that time\nthey would continue to do so for ever. ",
"Persons born on any of these days\nwere deemed unfortunate, destined to fail in their undertakings and to\nlive in wretchedness and poverty all their time on earth.(776) The Mayas\nof Yucatan employed a calendar like that of the Aztecs, and they too\nlooked upon the five supplementary days at the end of the year as unlucky\nand of evil omen; hence they gave no names to these days, and while they\nlasted the people stayed for the most part at home; they neither washed\nthemselves, nor combed their hair, nor loused each other; and they did no\nservile or fatiguing work lest some evil should befall them.(777)\n\n(M264) The ancient Egyptians like the Aztecs considered a year to consist\nof three hundred and sixty ordinary days divided into months and eked out\nwith five supplementary days so as to bring the total number of days in\nthe year up to three hundred and sixty-five; but whereas the Aztecs\ndivided the three hundred and sixty ordinary days into eighteen arbitrary\ndivisions or months of twenty days each, the Egyptians, keeping much\ncloser to the natural periods marked by the phases of the moon, divided\nthese days into twelve months of thirty days each.(778) This mode of\nregulating the calendar appears to be exceedingly ancient in Egypt and may\neven date from the prehistoric period; for the five days over and above\nthe year (_haru duait hiru ronpit_) are expressly mentioned in the texts\nof the pyramids.(779) The myth told to explain their origin was as\nfollows. ",
"Once on a time the earth-god Keb lay secretly with the\nsky-goddess Nut, and the sun-god Ra in his anger cursed the goddess,\nsaying that she should give birth to her offspring neither in any month\nnor in any year. ",
"He thought, no doubt, by this imprecation to prevent her\nfrom bringing forth the fruit of her womb. ",
"But he was outwitted by the\nwily Thoth, who engaged the goddess of the moon in a game of draughts and\nhaving won the game took as a forfeit from her the seventieth part of\nevery day in the year, and out of the fractions thus abstracted he made up\nfive new days, which he added to the old year of three hundred and sixty\ndays. ",
"As these days formed no part either of a month or of a year, the\ngoddess Nut might be delivered in them without rendering the sun-god's\ncurse void and of no effect. ",
"Accordingly she bore Osiris on the first of\nthe days, Horus on the second, Set or Typhon on the third, Isis on the\nfourth, and Nephthys on the fifth. ",
"Of these five supplementary or\nintercalary days the third, as the birthday of the evil deity Set or\nTyphon, was deemed unlucky, and the Egyptian kings neither transacted\nbusiness on it nor attended to their persons till nightfall.(780) Thus it\nappears that the ancient Egyptians regarded the five supplementary or\nintercalary days as belonging neither to a month nor to a year, but as\nstanding outside of both and forming an extraordinary period quite apart\nand distinct from the ordinary course of time. ",
"It is probable, though we\ncannot prove it, that in all countries intercalary days or months have\nbeen so considered by the primitive astronomers who first observed the\ndiscrepancy between solar and lunar time and attempted to reconcile it by\nthe expedient of intercalation.",
"\n\n(M265) Thus we infer with some probability that the sacred Twelve Days or\nNights at midwinter derive their peculiar character in popular custom and\nsuperstition from the circumstance that they were originally an\nintercalary period inserted annually at the end of a lunar year of three\nhundred and fifty-four days for the purpose of equating it to a solar year\nreckoned at three hundred and sixty-six days. ",
"However, there are grounds\nfor thinking that at a very early time the Aryan peoples sought to correct\ntheir lunar year, not by inserting twelve supplementary days every year,\nbut by allowing the annual deficiency to accumulate for several years and\nthen supplying it by a whole intercalary month. ",
"In India the Aryans of the\nVedic age appear to have adopted a year of three hundred and sixty days,\ndivided into twelve months of thirty days each, and to have remedied the\nannual deficiency of five days by intercalating a whole month of thirty\ndays every fifth year, thus regulating their calendar according to a five\nyears' cycle.(781) The Celts of Gaul, as we learn from the Coligny\ncalendar, also adopted a five years' cycle, but they managed it\ndifferently. ",
"They retained the old lunar year of three hundred and\nfifty-four days divided into twelve months, six of thirty days and six of\ntwenty-nine days; but instead of intercalating twelve days every year to\nrestore the balance between lunar and solar time they intercalated a month\nof thirty days every two and a half years, so that in each cycle of five\nyears the total number of intercalary days was sixty, which was equivalent\nto intercalating twelve days annually. ",
"Thus the result at the end of each\ncycle of five years was precisely the same as it would have been if they\nhad followed the old system of annual intercalation.(782) Why they\nabandoned the simple and obvious expedient of annually intercalating\ntwelve days, and adopted instead the more recondite system of\nintercalating a month of thirty days every two and a half years, is not\nplain. ",
"It may be that religious or political motives unknown to us\nconcurred with practical considerations to recommend the change. ",
"One\nresult of the reform would be the abolition of the temporary king who, if\nI am right, used to bear a somewhat tumultuary sway over the community\nduring the saturnalia of the Twelve Days. ",
"Perhaps the annually recurring\ndisorders which attended that period of license were not the least urgent\nof the reasons which moved the rulers to strike the twelve intercalary\ndays out of the year and to replace them by an intercalary month at longer\nintervals.",
"\n\n(M266) However that may be, the equivalence of the new intercalary month\nto the old intercalary Twelve Days multiplied by two and a half is\nstrongly suggested by a remarkable feature of the Coligny calendar; for in\nit the thirty days of the intercalary month, which bore the name of\nCiallos, are named after the ordinary twelve months of the year. ",
"Thus the\nfirst day of the intercalary month is called Samon, which is the name of\nthe first month of the year; the second day of the month is called\nDumannos, which is the name of the second month of the year; the third day\nof the month is called Rivros, which is the name of the third month of the\nyear; the fourth day of the month is called Anacan, which is the name of\nthe fourth month of the year; and so on with all the rest, so that the\nthirty days of the intercalary month bear the names of the twelve months\nof the year repeated two and a half times.(783) This seems to shew that,\njust as our modern peasants regard the Twelve Days as representing each a\nmonth of the year in their chronological order, so the old Celts of Gaul\nwho drew up the Coligny calendar regarded the thirty days of the\nintercalary month as representing the thirty ordinary months which were to\nfollow it till the next intercalation took place. ",
"And we may conjecture\nthat just as our modern peasants still draw omens from the Twelve Days for\nthe twelve succeeding months, so the old Celts drew omens from the thirty\ndays of the intercalary month for the thirty months of the two and a half\nsucceeding years. ",
"Indeed we may suppose that the reformers of the calendar\ntransferred, or attempted to transfer, to the new intercalary month the\nwhole of the quaint customs and superstitions which from time immemorial\nhad clustered round the twelve intercalary days of the old year. ",
"Thus,\nlike the old Twelve Days of midwinter, the thirty days of the new\nintercalary month may have formed an interregnum or break in the ordinary\ncourse of government, a tumultuary period of general license, during which\nthe ordinary rules of law and morality were suspended and the direction of\naffairs committed to a temporary and more or less farcical ruler or King\nof the Bean, who may possibly have had to pay with his life for his brief\nreign of thirty days. ",
"The floating traditions of such merry monarchs and\nof the careless happy-go-lucky life under them may have crystallized in\nafter ages into the legend of Saturn and the Golden Age. ",
"If that was\nso--and I put forward the hypothesis for no more than a web of conjectures\nwoven from the gossamer threads of popular superstition--we can understand\nwhy the Twelve Days, intercalated every year in the old calendar, should\nhave survived to the present day in the memory of the people, whereas the\nthirty days, intercalated every two and a half years in the new calendar,\nhave long been forgotten. ",
"It is the simplest ideas that live longest in\nthe simple minds of the peasantry; and since the intercalation of twelve\ndays in every year to allow the lagging moon to keep pace with the longer\nstride of the sun is certainly an easier and more obvious expedient than\nto wait for two and a half years till he has outrun her by thirty days, we\nneed not wonder that this ancient mode of harmonizing lunar and solar time\nshould have lingered in the recollection and in the usages of the people\nages after the more roundabout method, which reflective minds had devised\nfor accomplishing the same end, had faded alike from the memory of the\npeasant and the page of the historian.",

"The Saturnalia and Lent.",
"\n\n\n(M267) As the Carnival is always held on the last three days before the\nbeginning of Lent, its date shifts somewhat from year to year, but it\ninvariably falls either in February or March. ",
"Hence it does not coincide\nwith the date of the Saturnalia, which within historical times seems to\nhave been always celebrated in December even in the old days, before\nCaesar's reform of the calendar, when the Roman year ended with February\ninstead of December.(784) Yet if the Saturnalia, like many other seasons\nof license, was originally celebrated as a sort of public purification at\nthe end of the old year or the beginning of the new one, it may at a still\nmore remote period, when the Roman year began with March, have been\nregularly held either in February or March and therefore at approximately\nthe same date as the modern Carnival. ",
"So strong and persistent are the\nconservative instincts of the peasantry in respect to old custom, that it\nwould be no matter for surprise if, in rural districts of Italy, the\nancient festival continued to be celebrated at the ancient time long after\nthe official celebration of the Saturnalia in the towns had been shifted\nfrom February to December. ",
"Latin Christianity, which struck at the root of\nofficial or civic paganism, has always been tolerant of its rustic\ncousins, the popular festivals and ceremonies which, unaffected by\npolitical and religious revolutions, by the passing of empires and of\ngods, have been carried on by the people with but little change from time\nimmemorial, and represent in fact the original stock from which the state\nreligions of classical antiquity were comparatively late offshoots. ",
"Thus\nit may very well have come about that while the new faith stamped out the\nSaturnalia in the towns, it suffered the original festival, disguised by a\ndifference of date, to linger unmolested in the country; and so the old\nfeast of Saturn, under the modern name of the Carnival, has reconquered\nthe cities, and goes on merrily under the eye and with the sanction of the\nCatholic Church.",
"\n\n(M268) The opinion that the Saturnalia originally fell in February or the\nbeginning of March receives some support from the circumstance that the\nfestival of the Matronalia, at which mistresses feasted their slaves just\nas masters did theirs at the Saturnalia, always continued to be held on\nthe first of March, even when the Roman year began with January.(785) It\nis further not a little recommended by the consideration that this date\nwould be eminently appropriate for the festival of Saturn, the old Italian\ngod of sowing and planting. ",
"It has always been a puzzle to explain why\nsuch a festival should have been held at midwinter; but on the present\nhypothesis the mystery vanishes. ",
"With the Italian farmer February and\nMarch were the great season of the spring sowing and planting;(786)\nnothing could be more natural than that the husbandman should inaugurate\nthe season with the worship of the deity to whom he ascribed the function\nof quickening the seed. ",
"It is no small confirmation of this theory that\nthe last day of the Carnival, namely Shrove Tuesday, is still, or was down\nto recent times, the customary season in Central Europe for promoting the\ngrowth of the crops by means of leaps and dances.(787) The custom fits in\nvery well with the view which derives the Carnival from an old festival of\nsowing such as the Saturnalia probably was in its origin. ",
"Further, the\norgiastic character of the festival is readily explained by the help of\nfacts which met us in a former part of our investigation. ",
"We have seen\nthat between the sower and the seed there is commonly supposed to exist a\nsympathetic connexion of such a nature that his conduct directly affects\nand can promote or <DW44> the growth of the crops.(788) What wonder then\nif the simple husbandman imagined that by cramming his belly, by swilling\nand guzzling just before he proceeded to sow his fields, he thereby\nimparted additional vigour to the seed?(789)\n\n(M269) But while his crude philosophy may thus have painted gluttony and\nintoxication in the agreeable colours of duties which he owed to himself,\nto his family, and to the commonwealth, it is possible that the zest with\nwhich he acquitted himself of his obligations may have been whetted by a\nless comfortable reflection. ",
"In modern times the indulgence of the\nCarnival is immediately followed by the abstinence of Lent; and if the\nCarnival is the direct descendant of the Saturnalia, may not Lent in like\nmanner be merely the continuation, under a thin disguise, of a period of\ntemperance which was annually observed, from superstitious motives, by\nItalian farmers long before the Christian era? ",
"Direct evidence of this, so\nfar as I am aware, is not forthcoming; but we have seen that a practice of\nabstinence from fleshly lusts has been observed by various peoples as a\nsympathetic charm to foster the growth of the seed;(790) and such an\nobservance would be an appropriate sequel to the Saturnalia, if that\nfestival was indeed, as I conjecture it to have been, originally held in\nspring as a religious or magical preparation for sowing and planting. ",
"When\nwe consider how widely diffused is the belief in the sympathetic influence\nwhich human conduct, and especially the intercourse of the sexes, exerts\non the fruits of the earth, we may be allowed to conjecture that the\nLenten fast, with the rule of continence which is recommended, if not\nstrictly enjoined, by the Catholic and Coptic churches during that\nseason,(791) was in its origin intended, not so much to commemorate the\nsufferings of a dying god, as to foster the growth of the seed, which in\nthe bleak days of early spring the husbandman commits with anxious care\nand misgiving to the bosom of the naked earth. ",
"Ecclesiastical historians\nhave been puzzled to say why after much hesitation and great diversity of\nusage in different places the Christian church finally adopted forty days\nas the proper period for the mournful celebration of Lent.(792) Perhaps in\ncoming to this decision the authorities were guided, as so often, by a\nregard for an existing pagan celebration of similar character and duration\nwhich they hoped by a change of name to convert into a Christian\nsolemnity. ",
"Such a heathen Lent they may have found to hand in the rites of\nPersephone, the Greek goddess of the corn, whose image, carved out of a\ntree, was annually brought into the cities and mourned for forty nights,\nafter which it was burned.(793) The time of year when these lamentations\ntook place is not mentioned by the old Christian writer who records them;\nbut they would fall most appropriately at the season when the seed was\nsown or, in mythical language, when the corn-goddess was buried, which in\nancient Italy, as we saw, was done above all in the months of February and\nMarch. ",
"We know that at the time of the autumnal sowing Greek women held a\nsad and serious festival because the Corn-goddess Persephone or the\nMaiden, as they called her, then went down into the earth with the sown\ngrain, and Demeter fondly mourned her daughter's absence; hence in\nsympathy with the sorrowful mother the women likewise mourned and observed\na solemn fast and abstained from the marriage bed.(794) It is reasonable,\ntherefore, to suppose that they practised similar rules of mourning and\nabstinence for a like reason at the time of the spring sowing, and that\nthe ancient ritual survives in the modern Lent, which preserves the memory\nof the _Mater Dolorosa_, though it has substituted a dead Son for a dead\nDaughter.",
"\n\n(M270) Be that as it may, it is worthy of note that in Burma a similar\nfast, which English writers call the Buddhist Lent, is observed for three\nmonths every year while the ploughing and sowing of the fields go forward;\nand the custom is believed to be far older than Buddhism, which has merely\ngiven it a superficial tinge like the veneer of Christianity which, if I\nam right, has overlaid an old heathen observance in Lent. ",
"This Burmese\nLent, we are told, covers the rainy season from the full moon of July to\nthe full moon of October. \"",
"This is the time to plough, this is the time to\nsow; on the villagers' exertions in these months depends all their\nmaintenance for the rest of the year. ",
"Every man, every woman, every child,\nhas hard work of some kind or another. ",
"And so, what with the difficulties\nof travelling, what with the work there is to do, and what with the custom\nof Lent, every one stays at home. ",
"It is the time for prayer, for fasting,\nfor improving the soul. ",
"Many men during these months will live even as the\nmonks live, will eat but before midday, will abstain from tobacco. ",
"There\nare no plays during Lent, and there are no marriages. ",
"It is the time for\npreparing the land for the crop; it is the time for preparing the soul for\neternity. ",
"The congregations on the Sundays will be far greater at this\ntime than at any other; there will be more thought of the serious things\nof life.",

"Saturnalia in Ancient Greece.",
"\n\n\n(M271) Beyond the limits of Italy festivals of the same general character\nas the Saturnalia appear to have been held over a considerable area of the\nancient world. ",
"A characteristic feature of the Saturnalia, as we saw, was\nan inversion of social ranks, masters changing places with their slaves\nand waiting upon them, while slaves were indulged with a semblance not\nmerely of freedom but even of power and office. ",
"In various parts of Greece\nthe same hollow show of granting liberty to slaves was made at certain\nfestivals. ",
"Thus at a Cretan festival of Hermes the servants feasted and\ntheir masters waited upon them. ",
"In the month of Geraestius the Troezenians\nobserved a certain solemnity lasting many days, on one of which the slaves\nplayed at dice with the citizens and were treated to a banquet by their\nlords. ",
"The Thessalians held a great festival called Peloria, which Baton\nof Sinope identified with the Saturnalia, and of which the antiquity is\nvouched for by a tradition that it originated with the Pelasgians. ",
"At this\nfestival sacrifices were offered to Pelorian Zeus, tables splendidly\nadorned were set out, all strangers were invited to the feast, all\nprisoners released, and the slaves sat down to the banquet, enjoyed full\nfreedom of speech, and were served by their masters.(796)\n\n(M272) But the Greek festival which appears to have corresponded most\nclosely to the Italian Saturnalia was the Cronia or festival of Cronus, a\ngod whose barbarous myth and cruel ritual clearly belong to a very early\nstratum of Greek religion, and who was by the unanimous voice of antiquity\nidentified with Saturn. ",
"We are told that his festival was celebrated in\nmost parts of Greece, but especially at Athens, where the old god and his\nwife Rhea had a shrine near the stately, but far more modern, temple of\nOlympian Zeus. ",
"A joyous feast, at which masters and slaves sat down\ntogether, formed a leading feature of the solemnity. ",
"At Athens the\nfestival fell in the height of summer, on the twelfth day of the month\nHecatombaeon, formerly called the month of Cronus, which answered nearly\nto July; and tradition ran that Cecrops, the first king of Attica, had\nfounded an altar in honour of Cronus and Rhea, and had ordained that\nmaster and man should share a common meal when the harvest was got\nin.(797) Yet there are indications that at Athens the Cronia may once have\nbeen a spring festival. ",
"For a cake with twelve knobs, which perhaps\nreferred to the twelve months of the year, was offered to Cronus by the\nAthenians on the fifteenth day of the month Elaphebolion, which\ncorresponded roughly to March,(798) and there are traces of a license\naccorded to slaves at the Dionysiac festival of the opening of the\nwine-jars, which fell on the eleventh day of the preceding month\nAnthesterion.(799) At Olympia the festival of Cronus undoubtedly occurred\nin spring; for here a low but steep hill, now covered with a tangled\ngrowth of dark holly-oaks and firs, was sacred to him, and on its top\ncertain magistrates, who bore the title of kings, offered sacrifice to the\nold god at the vernal equinox in the Elean month Elaphius.(800)\n\n(M273) In this last ceremony, which probably went on year by year long\nbefore the upstart Zeus had a temple built for himself at the foot of the\nhill, there are two points of special interest, first the date of the\nceremony, and second the title of the celebrants. ",
"First, as to the date,\nthe spring equinox, or the twenty-first of March, must have fallen so near\nthe fifteenth day of the Athenian month Elaphebolion, that we may fairly\nask whether the Athenian custom of offering a cake to Cronus on that day\nmay not also have been an equinoctial ceremony. ",
"In the second place, the\ntitle of kings borne by the magistrates who sacrificed to Cronus renders\nit probable that, like magistrates with similar high-sounding titles\nelsewhere in republican Greece, they were the lineal descendants of sacred\nkings whom the superstition of their subjects invested with the attributes\nof divinity.(801) If that was so, it would be natural enough that one of\nthese nominal kings should pose as the god Cronus in person. ",
"For, like his\nItalian counterpart Saturn, the Greek Cronus was believed to have been a\nking who reigned in heaven or on earth during the blissful Golden Age,\nwhen men passed their days like gods without toil or sorrow, when life was\na long round of festivity, and death came like sleep, sudden but gentle,\nannounced by none of his sad forerunners, the ailments and infirmities of\nage.(802) Thus the analogy of the Olympian Cronia, probably one of the\noldest of Greek festivals, to the Italian Saturnalia would be very close\nif originally, as I conjecture, the Saturnalia fell in spring and Saturn\nwas personated at it, as we have good reason to believe, by a man dressed\nas a king. ",
"May we go a step further and suppose that, just as the man who\nacted King Saturn at the Saturnalia was formerly slain in that character,\nso one of the kings who celebrated the Cronia at Olympia not only played\nthe part of Cronus, but was sacrificed, as god and victim in one, on the\ntop of the hill? ",
"Cronus certainly bore a sinister reputation in antiquity.",
"\nHe passed for an unnatural parent who had devoured his own offspring, and\nhe was regularly identified by the Greeks with the cruel Semitic Baals who\ndelighted in the sacrifice of human victims, especially of children.(803)\nA legend which savours strongly of infant sacrifice is reported of a\nshrine that stood at the very foot of the god's own hill at Olympia;(804)\nand a quite unambiguous story was told of the sacrifice of a babe to\nLycaean Zeus on Mount Lycaeus in Arcadia, where the worship of Zeus was\nprobably nothing but a continuation, under a new name, of the old worship\nof Cronus, and where human victims appear to have been regularly offered\ndown to the Christian era.(805) The Rhodians annually sacrificed a man to\nCronus in the month Metageitnion; at a later time they kept a condemned\ncriminal in prison till the festival of the Cronia was come, then led him\nforth outside the gates, made him drunk with wine, and cut his\nthroat.(806) With the parallel of the Saturnalia before our eyes, we may\nsurmise that the victim who thus ended his life in a state of intoxication\nat the Cronia perhaps personated King Cronus himself, the god who reigned\nin the happy days of old when men had nothing to do but to eat and drink\nand make merry. ",
"At least the Rhodian custom lends some countenance to the\nconjecture that formerly a human victim may have figured at the sacrifice\nwhich the so-called kings offered to Cronus on his hill at Olympia. ",
"In\nthis connexion it is to be remembered that we have already found\nwell-attested examples of a custom of sacrificing the scions of royal\nhouses in ancient Greece.(807) If the god to whom, or perhaps rather in\nwhose character, the princes were sacrificed, was Cronus, it would be\nnatural that the Greeks of a later age should identify him with Baal or\nMoloch, to whom in like manner Semitic kings offered up their children.",
"\nThe Laphystian Zeus of Thessaly and Boeotia, whom tradition associated\nwith these human sacrifices, was probably, like the Lycaean Zeus of\nArcadia, nothing but the aboriginal deity, commonly known as Cronus, whose\ngloomy rites the Greek invaders suffered the priests of the vanquished\nrace to continue after the ancient manner, while they quieted their\nscruples of conscience or satisfied their pride as conquerors by investing\nthe bloodthirsty old savage with the name, if not with the character, of\ntheir own milder deity, the humane and gracious Zeus.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 5. ",
"Saturnalia in Western Asia.",
"\n\n\n(M274) When we pass from Europe to western Asia, from ancient Greece to\nancient Babylon and the regions where Babylonian influence penetrated, we\nare still met with festivals which bear the closest resemblance to the\noldest form of the Italian Saturnalia. ",
"The reader may remember the\nfestival of the Sacaea, on which I had occasion to touch in an earlier\npart of this work.(808) It was held at Babylon during five days of the\nmonth Lous, beginning with the sixteenth day of the month. ",
"During its\ncontinuance, just as at the Saturnalia, masters and servants changed\nplaces, the servants issuing orders and the masters obeying them; and in\neach house one of the servants, dressed as a king and bearing the title of\nZoganes, bore rule over the household. ",
"Further, just as at the Saturnalia\nin its original form a man was dressed as King Saturn in royal robes,\nallowed to indulge his passions and caprices to the full, and then put to\ndeath, so at the Sacaea a condemned prisoner, who probably also bore for\nthe time being the title of Zoganes, was arrayed in the king's attire and\nsuffered to play the despot, to use the king's concubines, and to give\nhimself up to feasting and debauchery without restraint, only however in\nthe end to be stript of his borrowed finery, scourged, and hanged or\ncrucified.(809) From Strabo we learn that this Asiatic counterpart of the\nSaturnalia was celebrated in Asia Minor wherever the worship of the\nPersian goddess Anaitis had established itself. ",
"He describes it as a\nBacchic orgy, at which the revellers were disguised as Scythians, and men\nand women drank and dallied together by day and night.(810)\n\n(M275) As the worship of Anaitis, though of Persian origin, appears to\nhave been deeply leavened with coarse elements which it derived from the\nreligion of Babylon,(811) we may perhaps regard Mesopotamia as the\noriginal home from which the Sacaean festival spread westward into other\nparts of Asia Minor. ",
"Now the Sacaean festival, described by the Babylonian\npriest Berosus in the first book of his history of Babylon, has been\nplausibly identified(812) with the great Babylonian festival of the New\nyear called Zakmuk, Zagmuk, Zakmuku, or Zagmuku, which has become known to\nus in recent times through inscriptions. ",
"The Babylonian year began with\nthe spring month of Nisan, which seems to have covered the second half of\nMarch and the first half of April. ",
"Thus the New Year festival, which\noccupied at least the first eleven days of Nisan, probably included the\nspring equinox. ",
"It was held in honour of Marduk or Merodach, the chief god\nof Babylon, whose great temple of Esagila in the city formed the religious\ncentre of the solemnity. ",
"For here, in a splendid chamber of the vast\nedifice, all the gods were believed to assemble at this season under the\npresidency of Marduk for the purpose of determining the fates for the new\nyear, especially the fate of the king's life. ",
"On this occasion the king of\nBabylon was bound annually to renew his regal power by grasping the hands\nof the image of Marduk in his temple, as if to signify that he received\nthe kingdom directly from the deity and was unable without the divine\nassistance and authority to retain it for more than a year. ",
"Unless he thus\nformally reinstated himself on the throne once a year, the king ceased to\nreign legitimately. ",
"When Babylonia was conquered by Assyria, the Assyrian\nmonarchs themselves used to come to Babylon and perform the ceremony of\ngrasping the god's hands in order to establish by this solemn act their\ntitle to the kingdom which they had won for themselves by the sword; until\nthey had done so, they were not recognized as kings by their Babylonian\nsubjects. ",
"Some of them indeed found the ceremony either so burdensome or\nso humiliating to their pride as conquerors, that rather than perform it\nthey renounced the title of king of Babylon altogether and contented\nthemselves with the more modest title of regent. ",
"Another notable feature\nof the Babylonian festival of the New Year appears to have been a\nceremonial marriage of the god Marduk; for in a hymn relating to the\nsolemnity it is said of the deity that \"he hastened to his bridal.\" ",
"The\nfestival was of hoar antiquity, for it was known to Gudea, an old king of\nSouthern Babylonia who flourished between two and three thousand years\nbefore the beginning of our era, and it is mentioned in an early account\nof the Great Flood. ",
"At a much later period it is repeatedly referred to by\nKing Nebuchadnezzar and his successors. ",
"Nebuchadnezzar records how he\nbuilt of bricks and bitumen a chapel or altar, \"a thing of joy and\nrejoicing,\" for the great festival of Marduk, the lord of the gods; and we\nread of the rich and abundant offerings which were made by the high priest\nat this time.(813)\n\n(M276) Unfortunately the notices of this Babylonian festival of the New\nYear which have come down to us deal chiefly with its mythical aspect and\nthrow little light on the mode of its celebration. ",
"Hence its identity with\nthe Sacaea must remain for the present a more or less probable hypothesis.",
"\nIn favour of the hypothesis may be alleged in the first place the\nresemblance of the names Sacaea and Zoganes to Zakmuk or Zagmuku, if that\nwas the real pronunciation of the name,(814) and in the second place the\nvery significant statement that the fate of the king's life was supposed\nto be determined by the gods, under the presidency of Marduk, at the\nZakmuk or New Year's festival.(815) When we remember that the central\nfeature of the Sacaea appears to have been the saving of the king's life\nfor another year by the vicarious sacrifice of a criminal on the cross or\nthe gallows, we can understand that the season was a critical one for the\nking, and that it may well have been regarded as determining his fate for\nthe ensuing twelve months. ",
"The annual ceremony of renewing the king's\npower by contact with the god's image, which formed a leading feature of\nthe Zakmuk festival, would be very appropriately performed immediately\nafter the execution or sacrifice of the temporary king who died in the\nroom of the real monarch.",
"\n\n(M277) A difficulty, however, in the way of identifying the Sacaea with\nthe Zakmuk arises from the statement of Berosus that the Sacaea fell on\nthe sixteenth day of Lous, which was the tenth month of the\nSyro-Macedonian calendar and appears to have nearly coincided with July.",
"\nThus if the Sacaea occurred in July and the Zakmuk in March, the theory of\ntheir identity could not be maintained. ",
"But the dating of the months of\nthe Syro-Macedonian calendar is a matter of some uncertainty; the month of\nLous in particular appears to have fallen at different times of the year\nin different places,(816) and until we have ascertained beyond the reach\nof doubt when Lous fell at Babylon in the time of Berosus, it would be\npremature to allow much weight to the seeming discrepancy in the dates of\nthe two festivals. ",
"At all events, whether the festivals were the same or\ndifferent, we are confronted with difficulties which in the present state\nof our knowledge may be pronounced insoluble. ",
"If the festivals were the\nsame, we cannot explain their apparent difference of date: if they were\ndifferent, we cannot explain their apparent similarity of character. ",
"In\nwhat follows I shall, with some eminent Oriental scholars,(817)\nprovisionally assume the identity of Zakmuk and Sacaea, but I would ask\nthe reader to bear clearly in mind that the hypothesis leaves the apparent\ndiscrepancy of their dates unexplained. ",
"Towards a solution of the problem\nI can only suggest conjecturally either that the date of the festival had\nbeen for some reason shifted in the time of Berosus, or that two different\nfestivals of the same type may have been held at different seasons of the\nyear, one in spring and one in summer, perhaps by two distinct but kindred\ntribes, who retained their separate religious rites after they had\ncoalesced in the Babylonian empire. ",
"Both conjectures might be supported by\nanalogies. ",
"On the one hand, for example, in the Jewish calendar New Year's\nDay was shifted under Babylonian influence from autumn to spring,(818) and\nin a later part of this work we shall see that the Chinese festival of new\nfire, at first celebrated in spring, was afterwards shifted to the summer\nsolstice, only however to be brought back at a later time to its original\ndate. ",
"On the other hand, the popular festivals of our European peasantry\nafford many examples of rites which appear to be similar in character,\nthough they fall at different times of the year; such, for instance, are\nthe ceremonies concerned with vegetation on May Day, Whitsuntide, and\nMidsummer Day,(819) and the fire festivals which are distributed at still\nwider intervals throughout the months.(820) Similarly in ancient Italy the\nagricultural festival of the Ambarvalia was celebrated by Italian farmers\nat different dates in different places.(821) These cases may warn us\nagainst the danger of hastily inferring an essential difference between\nZakmuk and Sacaea on the ground of a real or apparent difference in their\ndates.",
"\n\n(M278) A fresh and powerful argument in favour of the identity of the two\nfestivals is furnished by the connexion which has been traced between both\nof them and the Jewish feast of Purim.(822) There are good grounds for\nbelieving that Purim was unknown to the Jews until after the exile, and\nthat they learned to observe it during their captivity in the East. ",
"The\nfestival is first mentioned in the book of Esther, which by the majority\nof critics is assigned to the fourth or third century B.C.,(823) and which\ncertainly cannot be older than the Persian period, since the scene of the\nnarrative is laid in Susa at the court of a Persian king Ahasuerus, whose\nname appears to be the Hebrew equivalent of Xerxes. ",
"The next reference to\nPurim occurs in the second book of Maccabees, a work written probably\nabout the beginning of our era.(824) Thus from the absence of all notice\nof Purim in the older books of the Bible, we may fairly conclude that the\nfestival was instituted or imported at a comparatively late date among the\nJews. ",
"The same conclusion is supported by the book of Esther itself, which\nwas manifestly written to explain the origin of the feast and to suggest\nmotives for its observance. ",
"For, according to the author of the book, the\nfestival was established to commemorate the deliverance of the Jews from a\ngreat danger which threatened them in Persia under the reign of King\nXerxes. ",
"Thus the opinion of modern scholars that the feast of Purim, as\ncelebrated by the Jews, was of late date and oriental origin, is borne out\nby the tradition of the Jews themselves. ",
"An examination of that tradition\nand the mode of celebrating the feast renders it probable that Purim is\nnothing but a more or less disguised form of the Babylonian festival of\nthe Sacaea or Zakmuk.",
"\n\n(M279) In the first place, the feast of Purim was and is held on the\nfourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, the last month of the Jewish year,\nwhich corresponds roughly to March.(825) Thus the date agrees nearly,\nthough not exactly, with the date of the Babylonian Zakmuk, which fell a\nfortnight later in the early days of the following month Nisan. ",
"A trace of\nthe original celebration of Purim in Nisan may perhaps be found in the\nstatement that \"they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman\" in Nisan,\nthe first month of the year.(826) It has been suggested with some\nplausibility that the Jews may have shifted the date of Purim in order\nthat the new and foreign festival might not clash with their own old\nfestival of the Passover, which began on the fourteenth day of Nisan.",
"\nAnother circumstance which speaks at once for the alien origin of Purim\nand for its identity with Zakmuk is its name. ",
"The author of the book of\nEsther derives the name Purim from _pur_, \"a lot,\"(827) but no such word\nwith this signification exists in Hebrew, and hence we are driven to look\nfor the meaning and etymology of Purim in some other language. ",
"A specious\ntheory is that the name was derived from an Assyrian word _puvru_, \"an\nassembly,\" and referred primarily to the great assembly of the gods which,\nas we have seen, formed a chief feature of the festival of Zakmuk, and was\nheld annually in the temple of Marduk at Babylon for the purpose of\ndetermining the fates or lots of the new year;(828) the august assembly\nappears to have been occasionally, if not regularly, designated by the\nvery name _puvru_.(829) On this hypothesis the traditional Jewish\nexplanation of the name Purim preserved a genuine kernel of historical\ntruth, or at least of mythical fancy, under the husk of a verbal error;\nfor the name, if this derivation of it is correct, really signified, not\n\"the lots,\" but the assembly for drawing or otherwise determining the\nlots. ",
"Another explanation which has been offered is \"that _pur_ or _bur_\nseems to be an old Assyrian word for 'stone,' and that therefore it is\npossible that the word was also used to signify 'lot,' like the Hebrew\n{~HEBREW LETTER GIMEL~}{~HEBREW LETTER VAV~}{~HEBREW LETTER RESH~}{~HEBREW LETTER LAMED~} 'lot,' which originally, no doubt, meant 'little stone.' \"(",
"830)\nEither of these explanations of the name Purim, by tracing it back to the\nNew Year assembly of the gods at Babylon for settling the lots, furnishes\nan adequate explanation of the traditional association of Purim with the\ncasting of lots--an association all the more remarkable and all the more\nlikely to be ancient because there is nothing to justify it either in the\nHebrew language or in the Jewish mode of celebrating the festival. ",
"When to\nthis we add the joyous, nay, extravagant festivity which has always been\ncharacteristic of Purim, and is entirely in keeping with a New Year\ncelebration, we may perhaps be thought to have made out a fairly probable\ncase for holding that the Jewish feast is derived from the Babylonian New\nYear festival of Zakmuk. ",
"Whether the Jews borrowed the feast directly from\nthe Babylonians or indirectly through the Persian conquerors of Babylon is\na question which deserves to be considered; but the Persian colouring of\nthe book of Esther speaks strongly for the view that Purim came to Israel\nby way of Persia, or at all events from Babylon under Persian rule, and\nthis view is confirmed by other evidence, to which I shall have to ask the\nreader's attention a little later on.",
"\n\n(M280) If the links which bind Purim to Zakmuk are reasonably strong, the\nchain of evidence which connects the Jewish festival with the Sacaea is\nmuch stronger. ",
"Nor is this surprising when we remember that, while the\npopular mode of celebrating Zakmuk is unknown, we possess important and\ntrustworthy details as to the manner of holding the Sacaea. ",
"We have seen\nthat the Sacaea was a wild Bacchanalian revel at which men and women\ndisguised themselves and drank and played together in a fashion that was\nmore gay than modest. ",
"Now this is, or used to be, precisely the nature of\nPurim. ",
"The two days of the festival, according to the author of the book\nof Esther, were to be kept for ever as \"days of feasting and gladness, and\nof sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.",
"\"(831) And this\njoyous character the festival seems always to have retained. ",
"The author of\na tract in the Talmud lays it down as a rule that at the feast of Purim\nevery Jew is bound to drink until he cannot distinguish between the words\n\"Cursed be Haman\" and \"Blessed be Mordecai\"; and he tells how on one\noccasion a certain Rabba drank so deep at Purim that he murdered a rabbi\nwithout knowing what he was about. ",
"Indeed Purim has been described as the\nJewish Bacchanalia, and we are told that at this season everything is\nlawful which can contribute to the mirth and gaiety of the festival.(832)\nWriters of the seventeenth century assert that during the two days, and\nespecially on the evening of the second day, the Jews did nothing but\nfeast and drink to repletion, play, dance, sing, and make merry; in\nparticular they disguised themselves, men and women exchanging clothes,\nand thus attired ran about like mad, in open defiance of the Mosaic law,\nwhich expressly forbids men to dress as women and women as men.(833) Among\nthe Jews of Frankfort, who inhabited the squalid but quaint and\npicturesque old street known as the Judengasse, which many of us still\nremember, the revelry at Purim ran as high as ever in the eighteenth\ncentury. ",
"The gluttony and intoxication began punctually at three o'clock\nin the afternoon of the first day and went on until the whole community\nseemed to have taken leave of their senses. ",
"They ate and drank, they\nfrolicked and cut capers, they reeled and staggered about, they shrieked,\nyelled, stamped, clattered, and broke each other's heads with wooden\nhammers till the blood flowed. ",
"On the evening of the first day the women\nwere allowed, as a special favour, to open their latticed window and look\ninto the men's synagogue, because the great deliverance of the Jews from\ntheir enemies in the time of King Ahasuerus was said to have been effected\nby a woman. ",
"A feature of the festival which should not be overlooked was\nthe acting of the story of Esther as a comedy, in which Esther, Ahasuerus,\nHaman, Mordecai, and others played their parts after a fashion that\nsometimes degenerated from farce into ribaldry.(834) Thus on the whole we\nmay take it that Purim has always been a Saturnalia, and therefore\ncorresponds in character to the Sacaea as that festival has been described\nfor us by Strabo.",
"\n\n(M281) But further, when we examine the narrative which professes to\naccount for the institution of Purim, we discover in it not only the\nstrongest traces of Babylonian origin, but also certain singular analogies\nto those very features of the Sacaean festival with which we are here more\nimmediately concerned. ",
"The book of Esther turns upon the fortunes of two\nmen, the vizier Haman and the despised Jew Mordecai, at the court of a\nPersian king. ",
"Mordecai, we are told, had given mortal offence to the\nvizier, who accordingly prepares a tall gallows on which he hopes to see\nhis enemy hanged, while he himself expects to receive the highest mark of\nthe king's favour by being allowed to wear the royal crown and the royal\nrobes, and thus attired to parade the streets mounted on the king's own\nhorse and attended by one of the noblest princes, who should proclaim to\nthe multitude his temporary exaltation and glory. ",
"But the artful intrigues\nof the wicked vizier miscarried and resulted in precisely the opposite of\nwhat he had hoped and expected; for the royal honours which he had looked\nfor fell to his rival Mordecai, and he himself was hanged on the gallows\nwhich he had made ready for his foe. ",
"In this story we seem to detect a\nreminiscence, more or less confused, of the Zoganes of the Sacaea, in\nother words, of the custom of investing a private man with the insignia of\nroyalty for a few days and then putting him to death on the gallows or the\ncross. ",
"It is true that in the narrative the part of the Zoganes is divided\nbetween two actors, one of whom hopes to play the king but is hanged\ninstead, while the other acts the royal part and escapes the gallows to\nwhich he was destined by his enemy. ",
"But this bisection, so to say, of the\nZoganes may have been deliberately invented by the Jewish author of the\nbook of Esther for the sake of setting the origin of Purim, which it was\nhis purpose to explain, in a light that should reflect glory on his own\nnation. ",
"Or, perhaps more probably, it points back to a custom of\nappointing two mock kings at the Sacaea, one of whom was put to death at\nthe end of the festival, while the other was allowed to go free, at least\nfor a time. ",
"We shall be the more inclined to adopt the latter hypothesis\nwhen we observe that corresponding to the two rival aspirants to the\ntemporary kingship there appear in the Jewish narrative two rival queens,\nVashti and Esther, one of whom succeeds to the high estate from which the\nother has fallen. ",
"Further, it is to be noted that Mordecai, the successful\ncandidate for the mock kingship, and Esther, the successful candidate for\nthe queenship, are linked together by close ties both of interest and\nblood, the two being said to be cousins. ",
"This suggests that in the\noriginal story or the original custom there may have figured two pairs of\nkings and queens, of whom one pair is represented in the Jewish narrative\nby Mordecai and Esther and the other by Haman and Vashti.",
"\n\n(M282) Some confirmation of this view is furnished by the names of two at\nleast out of the four personages. ",
"It seems to be now generally recognized\nby Biblical scholars that the name Mordecai, which has no meaning in\nHebrew, is nothing but a slightly altered form of Marduk or Merodach, the\nname of the chief god of Babylon, whose great festival was the Zakmuk; and\nfurther, it is generally admitted that Esther in like manner is equivalent\nto Ishtar, the great Babylonian goddess whom the Greeks called Astarte,\nand who is more familiar to English readers as Ashtaroth. ",
"The derivation\nof the names of Haman and Vashti is less certain, but some high\nauthorities are disposed to accept the view of Jensen that Haman is\nidentical with Humman or Homman, the national god of the Elamites, and\nthat Vashti is in like manner an Elamite goddess whose name Jensen read as\nMashti in inscriptions. ",
"Now, when we consider that the Elamites were from\ntime immemorial the hereditary foes of the Babylonians and had their\ncapital at Susa, the very place in which the scene of the book of Esther\nis laid, we can hardly deny the plausibility of the theory that Haman and\nVashti on the one side and Mordecai and Esther on the other represent the\nantagonism between the gods of Elam and the gods of Babylon, and the final\nvictory of the Babylonian deities in the very capital of their\nrivals.(835) \"It is therefore possible,\" says Professor Noeldeke, \"that we\nhere have to do with a feast whereby the Babylonians commemorated a\nvictory gained by their gods over the gods of their neighbours the\nElamites, against whom they had so often waged war. ",
"The Jewish feast of\nPurim is an annual merrymaking of a wholly secular kind, and it is known\nthat there were similar feasts among the Babylonians. ",
"That the Jews in\nBabylonia should have adopted a festival of this sort cannot be deemed\nimprobable, since in modern Germany, to cite an analogous case, many Jews\ncelebrate Christmas after the manner of their Christian fellow-countrymen,\nin so far at least as it is a secular institution. ",
"It is true that\nhitherto no Babylonian feast coinciding, like Purim, with the full moon of\nthe twelfth month has been discovered; but our knowledge of the Babylonian\nfeasts is derived from documents of an earlier period. ",
"Possibly the\ncalendar may have undergone some change by the time when the Jewish feast\nof Purim was established. ",
"Or it may be that the Jews intentionally shifted\nthe date of the festival which they borrowed from the heathen.",
"\"(836)\n\n(M283) However, the theory of an opposition between the gods of Babylon\nand the gods of Elam at the festival appears to break down at a crucial\npoint; for the latest and most accurate reading of the Elamite\ninscriptions proves, I am informed, that the name of the goddess which\nJensen read as Mashti, and which on that assumption he legitimately\ncompared to the Hebrew Vashti,(837) must really be read as Parti, between\nwhich and Vashti there is no connexion. ",
"Accordingly, in a discussion of\nthe origin of Purim it is safer at present to lay no weight on the\nsupposed religious antagonism between the deities of Babylon and\nElam.(838)\n\n(M284) If we are right in tracing the origin of Purim to the Babylonian\nSacaea and in finding the counterpart of the Zoganes in Haman and\nMordecai, it would appear that the Zoganes during his five days of office\npersonated not merely a king but a god, whether that god was the\nBabylonian Marduk or some other deity not yet identified. ",
"The union of the\ndivine and royal characters in a single person is so common that we need\nnot be surprised at meeting with it in ancient Babylon. ",
"And the view that\nthe mock king of the Sacaea died as a god on the cross or the gallows is\nno novelty. ",
"The acute and learned Movers long ago observed that \"we should\nbe overlooking the religious significance of oriental festivals and the\nconnexion of the Sacaea with the worship of Anaitis, if we were to treat\nas a mere jest the custom of disguising a slave as a king. ",
"We may take it\nfor certain that with the royal dignity the king of the Sacaea assumed\nalso the character of an oriental ruler as representative of the divinity,\nand that when he took his pleasure among the women of the king's harem, he\nplayed the part of Sandan or Sardanapalus himself. ",
"For according to\nancient oriental ideas the use of the king's concubines constituted a\nclaim to the throne, and we know from Dio that the five-days' king\nreceived full power over the harem. ",
"Perhaps he began his reign by publicly\ncohabiting with the king's concubines, just as Absalom went in to his\nfather's concubines in a tent spread on the roof of the palace before all\nIsrael, for the purpose of thereby making known and strengthening his\nclaim to the throne.",
"\"(839)\n\n(M285) Whatever may be thought of this latter conjecture, there can be no\ndoubt that Movers is right in laying great stress both on the permission\ngiven to the mock king to invade the real king's harem, and on the\nintimate connexion of the Sacaea with the worship of Anaitis. ",
"That\nconnexion is vouched for by Strabo, and when we consider that in Strabo's\ntime the cult of the old Persian goddess Anaitis was thoroughly saturated\nwith Babylonian elements and had practically merged in the sensual worship\nof the Babylonian Ishtar or Astarte,(840) we shall incline to view with\nfavour Movers's further conjecture, that a female slave may have been\nappointed to play the divine queen to the part of the divine king\nsupported by the Zoganes, and that reminiscences of such a queen have\nsurvived in the myth or legend of Semiramis. ",
"According to tradition,\nSemiramis was a fair courtesan beloved by the king of Assyria, who took\nher to wife. ",
"She won the king's heart so far that she persuaded him to\nyield up to her the kingdom for five days, and having assumed the sceptre\nand the royal robes she made a great banquet on the first day, but on the\nsecond day she shut up her husband in prison or put him to death and\nthenceforward reigned alone.(841) Taken with Strabo's evidence as to the\nassociation of the Sacaea with the worship of Anaitis, this tradition\nseems clearly to point to a custom of giving the Zoganes, during his five\ndays' reign, a queen who represented the goddess Anaitis or Semiramis or\nAstarte, in short the great Asiatic goddess of love and fertility, by\nwhatever name she was called. ",
"For that in Eastern legend Semiramis was a\nreal queen of Assyria, who had absorbed many of the attributes of the\ngoddess Astarte, appears to be established by the researches of modern\nscholars; in particular it has been shewn by Robertson Smith that the\nworship of Anaitis is not only modelled on Astarte worship in general, but\ncorresponds to that particular type of it which was specially associated\nwith the name of Semiramis.(842) The identity of Anaitis and the mythical\nSemiramis is clearly proved by the circumstance that the great sanctuary\nof Anaitis at Zela in Pontus was actually built upon a mound of\nSemiramis;(843) probably the old worship of the Semitic goddess always\ncontinued there even after her Semitic name of Semiramis or Astarte had\nbeen exchanged for the Persian name of Anaitis, perhaps in obedience to a\ndecree of the Persian king Artaxerxes II., ",
"who first spread the worship of\nAnaitis in the west of Asia.(844) It is highly significant, not only that\nthe Sacaean festival was annually held at this ancient seat of the worship\nof Semiramis or Astarte; but further, that the whole city of Zela was\nformerly inhabited by sacred slaves and harlots, ruled over by a supreme\npontiff, who administered it as a sanctuary rather than as a city.(845)\nFormerly, we may suppose, this priestly king himself died a violent death\nat the Sacaea in the character of the divine lover of Semiramis, while the\npart of the goddess was played by one of the sacred prostitutes. ",
"The\nprobability of this is greatly strengthened by the existence of the\nso-called mound of Semiramis under the sanctuary. ",
"For the mounds of\nSemiramis, which were pointed out all over Western Asia,(846) were said to\nhave been the graves of her lovers whom she buried alive.(847) The\ntradition ran that the great and lustful queen Semiramis, fearing to\ncontract a lawful marriage lest her husband should deprive her of power,\nadmitted to her bed the handsomest of her soldiers, only, however, to\ndestroy them all afterwards.(848) Now this tradition is one of the surest\nindications of the identity of the mythical Semiramis with the Babylonian\ngoddess Ishtar or Astarte. ",
"For the famous Babylonian epic which recounts\nthe deeds of the hero Gilgamesh tells how, when he clothed himself in\nroyal robes and put his crown on his head, the goddess Ishtar was smitten\nwith love of him and wooed him to be her mate. ",
"But Gilgamesh rejected her\ninsidious advances, for he knew the sad fate that had overtaken all her\nlovers, and he reproached the cruel goddess, saying:--\n\n\n \"_Tammuz, the lover of thy youth,_\n _Thou causest to weep every year._",
"\n _The bright-coloured_ allallu _bird thou didst love_.",
"\n _Thou didst crush him and break his pinions._",
"\n _In the woods he stands and laments, __'__O my pinions!__'_",
"\n _Thou didst love the lion of perfect strength,_\n _Seven and seven times thou didst dig pit-falls for him._",
"\n _Thou didst love the horse that joyed in the fray,_\n _With whip and spur and lash thou didst urge him on._",
"\n _Thou didst force him on for seven double hours,_\n _Thou didst force him on when wearied and thirsty;_\n _His mother the goddess Silili thou madest weep._",
"\n _Thou didst also love a shepherd of the flock,_\n _Who continually poured out for thee the libation,_\n _And daily slaughtered kids for thee;_\n _But thou didst smite him, and didst change him into a wolf,_\n _So that his own sheep-boys hunted him,_\n _And his own hounds tore him to pieces._\"",
"\n\n\n(M286) The hero also tells the miserable end of a gardener in the service\nof the goddess's father. ",
"The hapless swain had once been honoured with the\nlove of the goddess, but when she tired of him she changed him into a\n<DW36> so that he could not rise from his bed. ",
"Therefore Gilgamesh fears\nto share the fate of all her former lovers and spurns her proffered\nfavours.(849) But it is not merely that the myth of Ishtar thus tallies\nwith the legend of Semiramis; the worship of the goddess was marked by a\nprofligacy which has found its echo in the loose character ascribed by\ntradition to the queen. ",
"Inscriptions, which confirm and supplement the\nevidence of Herodotus, inform us that Ishtar was served by harlots of\nthree different classes all dedicated to her worship. ",
"Indeed, there is\nreason to think that these women personated the goddess herself, since one\nof the names given to them is applied also to her.(850)\n\n(M287) Thus we can hardly doubt that the mythical Semiramis is\nsubstantially a form of Ishtar or Astarte, the great Semitic goddess of\nlove and fertility; and if this is so, we may assume with at least a fair\ndegree of probability that the high pontiff of Zela or his deputy, who\nplayed the king of the Sacaea at the sanctuary of Semiramis, perished as\none of the unhappy lovers of the goddess, perhaps as Tammuz, whom she\ncaused \"to weep every year.\" ",
"When he had run his brief meteoric career of\npleasure and glory, his bones would be laid in the great mound which\ncovered the mouldering remains of many mortal gods, his predecessors, whom\nthe goddess had honoured with her fatal love.(851)\n\n(M288) Here then at the great sanctuary of the goddess in Zela it appears\nthat her myth was regularly translated into action; the story of her love\nand the death of her divine lover was performed year by year as a sort of\nmystery-play by men and women who lived for a season and sometimes died in\nthe character of the visionary beings whom they personated. ",
"The intention\nof these sacred dramas, we may be sure, was neither to amuse nor to\ninstruct an idle audience, and as little were they designed to gratify the\nactors, to whose baser passions they gave the reins for a time. ",
"They were\nsolemn rites which mimicked the doings of divine beings, because man\nfancied that by such mimicry he was able to arrogate to himself the divine\nfunctions and to exercise them for the good of his fellows. ",
"The operations\nof nature, to his thinking, were carried on by mythical personages very\nlike himself; and if he could only assimilate himself to them completely\nhe would be able to wield all their powers. ",
"This is probably the original\nmotive of most religious dramas or mysteries among rude peoples. ",
"The\ndramas are played, the mysteries are performed, not to teach the\nspectators the doctrines of their creed, still less to entertain them, but\nfor the purpose of bringing about those natural effects which they\nrepresent in mythical disguise; in a word, they are magical ceremonies and\ntheir mode of operation is mimicry or sympathy. ",
"We shall probably not err\nin assuming that many myths, which we now know only as myths, had once\ntheir counterpart in magic; in other words, that they used to be acted as\na means of producing in fact the events which they describe in figurative\nlanguage. ",
"Ceremonies often die out while myths survive, and thus we are\nleft to infer the dead ceremony from the living myth. ",
"If myths are, in a\nsense, the reflections or shadows of men cast upon the clouds, we may say\nthat these reflections continue to be visible in the sky and to inform us\nof the doings of the men who cast them, long after the men themselves are\nnot only beyond our range of vision but sunk beneath the horizon.",
"\n\n(M289) The principle of mimicry is implanted so deep in human nature and\nhas exerted so far-reaching an influence on the development of religion as\nwell as of the arts that it may be well, even at the cost of a short\ndigression, to illustrate by example some of the modes in which primitive\nman has attempted to apply it to the satisfaction of his wants by means of\nreligious or magical dramas. ",
"For it seems probable that the masked dances\nand ceremonies, which have played a great part in the social life of\nsavages in many quarters of the world, were primarily designed to subserve\npractical purposes rather than simply to stir the emotions of the\nspectators and to while away the languor and tedium of idle hours. ",
"The\nactors sought to draw down blessings on the community by mimicking certain\npowerful superhuman beings and in their assumed character working those\nbeneficent miracles which in the capacity of mere men they would have\nconfessed themselves powerless to effect. ",
"In fact the aim of these\nelementary dramas, which contain in germ the tragedy and comedy of\ncivilized nations, was the acquisition of superhuman power for the public\ngood. ",
"That this is the real intention of at least many of these dramatic\nperformances will appear from the following accounts, which for the sake\nof accuracy I will quote for the most part in the words of the original\nobservers.",
"\n\n(M290) A conspicuous feature in the social life of the Indian tribes of\nNorth-Western America are the elaborate masked dances or pantomimes in\nwhich the actors personate spirits or legendary animals. ",
"Most of them\nappear designed to bring before the eyes of the people the guardian\nspirits of the clans. \"",
"Owing to the fact that these spirits are\nhereditary, their gifts are always contained in the legend detailing their\nacquisition by the ancestor of a clan. ",
"The principal gifts in these tales\nare the magic harpoon which insures success in sea-otter hunting; the\ndeath bringer which, when pointed against enemies, kills them; the water\nof life which resuscitates the dead; the burning fire which, when pointed\nagainst an object, burns it; and a dance, a song, and cries which are\npeculiar to the spirit. ",
"The gift of this dance means that the protege of\nthe spirit is to perform the same dances which have been shown to him. ",
"In\nthese dances he personates the spirit. ",
"He wears his mask and his\nornaments. ",
"Thus the dance must be considered a dramatic performance of the\nmyth relating to the acquisition of the spirit, and shows to the people\nthat the performer by his visit to the spirit has obtained his powers and\ndesires. ",
"When nowadays a spirit appears to a young Indian, he gives him\nthe same dance, and the youth also returns from the initiation filled with\nthe powers and desires of the spirit. ",
"He authenticates his initiation by\nhis dance in the same way as his mythical ancestor did. ",
"The obtaining of\nthe magical gifts from these spirits is called _lokoala_, while the person\nwho has obtained them becomes _naualaku_, supernatural, which is also the\nquality of the spirit himself. ",
"The ornaments of all these spirits are\ndescribed as made of cedar bark, which is dyed red in the juice of alder\nbark. ",
"They appear to their devotees only in winter, and therefore the\ndances are also performed only in winter.",
"\"(852) In some of the dances the\nperformers imitate animals, and the explanation which the Indians give of\nthese dances is that \"the ceremonial was instituted at the time when men\nhad still the form of animals; before the transformer had put everything\ninto its present shape. ",
"The present ceremonial is a repetition of the\nceremonial performed by the man animals or, as we may say, a dramatization\nof the myth. ",
"Therefore the people who do not represent spirits, represent\nthese animals.",
"\"(853)\n\n(M291) Another observer of these Indians writes on the same subject as\nfollows: \"The _dukwally_ (_i.e._, _lokoala_) and other _tamanawas_(854)\nperformances are exhibitions intended to represent incidents connected\nwith their mythological legends. ",
"There are a great variety, and they seem\nto take the place, in a measure, of theatrical performances or games\nduring the season of the religious festivals. ",
"There are no persons\nespecially set apart as priests for the performance of these ceremonies,\nalthough some, who seem more expert than others, are usually hired to give\nlife to the scenes, but these performers are quite as often found among\nthe slaves or common people as among the chiefs, and excepting during the\ncontinuance of the festivities are not looked on as of any particular\nimportance. ",
"On inquiring the origin of these ceremonies, I was informed\nthat they did not originate with the Indians, but were revelations of the\nguardian spirits, who made known what they wished to be performed. ",
"An\nIndian, for instance, who has been consulting with his guardian spirit,\nwhich is done by going through the washing and fasting process before\ndescribed, will imagine or think he is called upon to represent the owl.",
"\nHe arranges in his mind the style of dress, the number of performers, the\nsongs and dances or other movements, and, having the plan perfected,\nannounces at a _tamanawas_ meeting that he has had a revelation which he\nwill impart to a select few. ",
"These are then taught and drilled in strict\nsecrecy, and when they have perfected themselves, will suddenly make their\nappearance and perform before the astonished tribe. ",
"Another Indian gets up\nthe representation of the whale, others do the same of birds, and in fact\nof everything that they can think of. ",
"If any performance is a success, it\nis repeated, and gradually comes to be looked upon as one of the regular\norder in the ceremonies; if it does not satisfy the audience, it is laid\naside. ",
"Thus they have performances that have been handed down from remote\nages, while others are of a more recent date.",
"\"(855)\n\n(M292) Another writer, who travelled among the Indians of North-Western\nAmerica, has expressed himself on this subject as follows: \"The task of\nrepresenting the gods is undertaken in every tribe by some intelligent\nand, according to their own account, inspired men; they form the Secret\nSocieties, in order that their secret arts and doctrines, their mummeries\nand masquerades may not be revealed to the uninitiated and to the public.",
"\nThe intention of these exhibitions is to confirm the faith of the young\npeople and the women in the ancient traditions as to the intercourse of\nthe gods with men and as to their own intimate relations to the gods. ",
"In\norder to convince possible doubters, the members of the Secret Societies\nhave had recourse to all kinds of mysterious means, which to a civilized\nman must appear the height of savagery; for example, they mutilate their\nbodies, rend corpses in pieces and devour them, tear pieces out of the\nbodies of living men, and so on. ",
"Further, the almost morbid vanity of the\nNorth-Western Indians and their desire to win fame, respect, and\ndistinction may have served as a motive for joining the Secret Societies;\nsince every member of them enjoys great respect.",
"\n\n\"There were and still are hundreds of masks in use, every one of which\nrepresents a spirit who occurs in their legends. ",
"In the exhibitions they\nappear singly or in groups, according as the legend to be represented\nrequires, and the masked men are then looked upon by the astonished crowd,\nnot only as actors representing the gods, but as the very gods themselves\nwho have come down from heaven to earth. ",
"Hence every such representative\nmust do exactly what legend says the spirit did. ",
"If the representative\nwears no mask, as often happens with the _Hametzes_ (the Cannibals or\nBiters) or the _Pakwalla_ (Medicine-men), then the spirit whom he\nrepresents has passed into his body, and accordingly the man possessed by\nthe spirit is not responsible for what he does amiss in this condition. ",
"As\nthe use of masks throws a sort of mysterious glamour over the performance\nand at the same time allows the actor to remain unknown, the peculiarly\nsacred festivals are much oftener celebrated with masks than without them.",
"\nIn every Secret Society there are definite rules as to how often and how\nlong a mask may be used. ",
"Amongst the Kwakiutl the masks may not, under the\nheaviest penalties, be disposed of for four winters, the season when such\nfestivals are usually celebrated. ",
"After that time they may be destroyed or\nhidden in the forest, that no uninitiated person may find them, or they\nmay be finally sold. ",
"The masks are made only in secret, generally in the\ndeep solitude of the woods, in order that no uninitiated person may detect\nthe maker at work....\n\n(M293) \"The dance is accompanied by a song which celebrates in boastful\nwords the power of the gods and the mighty deeds represented in the\nperformance. ",
"At the main part of the performance all present join in the\nsong, for it is generally known to everybody and is repeated in recitative\nagain and again. ",
"It seems that new songs and new performances are\nconstantly springing up in one or other of the villages through the agency\nof some intelligent young man, hitherto without a song of his own, who\ntreats in a poetical fashion some legend which has been handed down orally\nfrom their forefathers. ",
"For every man who takes part in the performances\nand festivals must make his _debut_ with a song composed by himself. ",
"In\nthis way new songs and dances are constantly originating, the material for\nthem being, of course, always taken from the tribal deities of the\nparticular singer and poet.",
"\"(856)\n\n(M294) Similar masquerades are in vogue among the neighbours of these\nIndians, the Esquimaux of Bering Strait, and from the following account it\nwill appear that the performances are based on similar ideas and beliefs.",
"\n\"Shamans make masks representing grotesque faces of supernatural beings\nwhich they claim to have seen. ",
"These may be _yu-a_, which are the spirits\nof the elements, of places, and of inanimate things in general; the\n_tunghaet_, or wandering genii, or the shades of people and animals. ",
"The\nfirst-named are seen in lonely places, on the plains and mountains or at\nsea, and more rarely about the villages, by the clairvoyant vision of the\nshamans. ",

"In their daily life, if the people witness some\nstrange occurrence, are curiously affected, or have a remarkable\nadventure, during which they seem to be influenced or aided in a\nsupernatural manner, the shamans interpret the meaning and describe the\nappearance of the being that exerted its power.",
"\n\n(M295) \"Curious mythological beasts are also said to inhabit both land and\nsea, but to become visible only on special occasions. ",
"These ideas furnish\nmaterial upon which their fancy works, conjuring up strange forms that are\nusually modifications of known creatures. ",
"It is also believed that in\nearly days all animate beings had a dual existence, becoming at will\neither like man or the animal forms they now wear. ",
"In those early days\nthere were but few people; if an animal wished to assume its human form,\nthe forearm, wing, or other limb was raised and pushed up the muzzle or\nbeak as if it were a mask, and the creature became manlike in form and\nfeatures. ",
"This idea is still held, and it is believed that many animals\nnow possess this power. ",
"The manlike form thus appearing is called the\n_inua_, and is supposed to represent the thinking part of the creature,\nand at death becomes its shade. ",

"Some of the masks of\nthe lower Yukon and the adjacent territory to the Kuskokwim are made with\ndouble faces. ",
"This is done by having the muzzle of the animal fitted over\nand concealing the face of the _inua_ below, the outer mask being held in\nplace by pegs so arranged that it can be removed quickly at a certain time\nin the ceremony, thus symbolizing the transformation. ",
"Another style of\nmask from the lower Kuskokwim has the under face concealed by a small\nhinged door on each side, which opens out at the proper time in a\nceremony, indicating the metamorphosis. ",

"\"(858)\n\n(M297) The religious ritual of the Cora Indians of Mexico comprises\nelaborate dramatic ceremonies or dances, in which the actors or dancers\nidentify themselves with the gods, such as the god of the Morning Star,\nthe goddess of the Moon, and the divinities of the Rain. ",

",
"The maskers imitate the actions and the\nhabits of birds, beasts, and insects. ",
"For example, there is a large\nazure-blue butterfly which delights the eye with the splendour of its\ncolour, like a fallen fragment of the sky; and in the butterfly dance two\nmen represent the play of these brilliant insects in the sunshine,\nfluttering on the wing and settling on sandbanks and rocks.

"Again, the\nsloth is acted by a masker who holds on to a cross-beam of the house by\nmeans of a hooked stick, in imitation of the sluggish creature which will\nhang by its claws from the bough of a tree for hours together without\nstirring. ",
"Again, the darting of swallows, as they flit to and fro across a\nriver, is mimicked by masked men dancing side by side: the swarming of\nsandflies in the air is acted by a swarm of maskers; and so with the\nmovements of the black vulture, the owl, the jaguar, the _aracu_ fish, the\nhouse-spider, and the dung-beetle. ",
"Yet these representations are not\nsimple dramas designed to amuse and divert the mourners in their hour of\nsorrow; the Indian attributes to them a much deeper significance, for\nunder the outer husk of beasts and birds and insects he believes that\nthere lurk foul fiends and powerful spirits. \"",
"All these mimicries are\nbased on an idea of magical efficiency. ",
"They are intended to bring\nblessing and fertility to the village and its inhabitants, to the\nplantations, and to the whole of surrounding nature, thereby compensating,\nas it were, for the loss of the dead man in whose honour the festival is\nheld. ",
"By copying as faithfully as possible the movements and actions of\nthe being whom he personates, the actor identifies himself with him. ",
"The\nmysterious force which resides in the mask passes into the dancer, turns\nthe man himself into a mighty demon, and endows him with the power of\nbanning demons or earning their favour. ",
"Especially is it the intention by\nmeans of mimicry to obtain for man control over the demons of growth and\nthe spirits of game and fish.\" ",
"When the festival is over, the masks are\nburned, and the demons, which are thought to have animated them, take\nflight to their own place, it may be to the other world or to a mountain\ntop, or to the side of a thundering cascade.(860)\n\n(M298) The Monumbo of German New Guinea perform masked dances in which the\ndancers personate supernatural beings or animals, such as kangaroos, dogs,\nand cassowaries.

"They consecrate the masks by fumigating them with the\nsmoke of a certain creeper, and believe that by doing so they put life\ninto them. ",
"Accordingly they afterwards treat the masks with respect, talk\nto them as if they were alive, and refuse to part with them to Europeans.",

"\nIn thought the Dyaks identify themselves with Kling, and the resultant\nsignification is that the recitation of this story is an invocation to\nSingalang Burong, who is supposed to come not to Kling's house only, but\nto the actual Dyak house where the feast is celebrated; and he is received\nby a particular ceremony, and is offered food or sacrifice.\" ",
"At the close\nof the ceremony \"the performer goes along the house, beginning with the\nhead man, touches each person in it, and pronounces an invocation upon\nhim. ",

"\"(863)\n\n(M300) Thus the dramatic performances of these primitive peoples are in\nfact religious or oftener perhaps magical ceremonies, and the songs or\nrecitations which accompany them are spells or incantations, though the\nreal character of both is apt to be overlooked by civilized man,\naccustomed as he is to see in the drama nothing more than an agreeable\npastime or at best a vehicle of moral instruction. ",
"Yet if we could trace\nthe drama of the civilized nations back to its origin, we might find that\nit had its roots in magical or religious ideas like those which still\nmould and direct the masked dances of many savages. ",
"Certainly the\nAthenians in the heyday of their brilliant civilization retained a lively\nsense of the religious import of dramatic performances; for they\nassociated them directly with the worship of Dionysus and allowed them to\nbe enacted only during the festivals of the god.(864) In India, also, the\ndrama appears to have been developed out of religious dances or\npantomimes, in which the actors recited the deeds and played the parts of\nnational gods and heroes.(865) Hence it is at least a legitimate\nhypothesis that the criminal, who masqueraded as a king and perished in\nthat character at the Bacchanalian festival of the Sacaea, was only one of\na company of actors, who figured on that occasion in a sacred drama of\nwhich the substance has been preserved to us in the book of Esther.",
"\n\n(M301) When once we perceive that the gods and goddesses, the heroes and\nheroines of mythology have been represented officially, so to say, by a\nlong succession of living men and women who bore the names and were\nsupposed to exercise the functions of these fabulous creatures, we have\nattained a point of vantage from which it seems possible to propose terms\nof peace between two rival schools of mythologists who have been waging\nfierce war on each other for ages. ",
"On the one hand it has been argued that\nmythical beings are nothing but personifications of natural objects and\nnatural processes; on the other hand, it has been maintained that they are\nnothing but notable men and women who in their lifetime, for one reason or\nanother, made a great impression on their fellows, but whose doings have\nbeen distorted and exaggerated by a false and credulous tradition. ",
"These\ntwo views, it is now easy to see, are not so mutually exclusive as their\nsupporters have imagined. ",
"The personages about whom all the marvels of\nmythology have been told may have been real human beings, as the\nEuhemerists allege; and yet they may have been at the same time\npersonifications of natural objects or processes, as the adversaries of\nEuhemerism assert. ",
"The doctrine of incarnation supplies the missing link\nthat was needed to unite the two seemingly inconsistent theories. ",
"If the\npowers of nature or a certain department of nature be conceived as\npersonified in a deity, and that deity can become incarnate in a man or\nwoman, it is obvious that the incarnate deity is at the same time a real\nhuman being and a personification of nature. ",
"To take the instance with\nwhich we are here concerned, Semiramis may have been the great Semitic\ngoddess of love, Ishtar or Astarte, and yet she may be supposed to have\nbeen incarnate in a woman or even in a series of real women, whether\nqueens or harlots, whose memory survives in ancient history. ",
"Saturn,\nagain, may have been the god of sowing and planting, and yet may have been\nrepresented on earth by a succession or dynasty of sacred kings, whose gay\nbut short lives may have contributed to build up the legend of the Golden\nAge. ",
"The longer the series of such human divinities, the greater,\nobviously, the chance of their myth or legend surviving; and when moreover\na deity of a uniform type was represented, whether under the same name or\nnot, over a great extent of country by many local dynasties of divine men\nor women, it is clear that the stories about him would tend still further\nto persist and be stereotyped.",
"\n\n(M302) The conclusions which we have reached in regard to the legend of\nSemiramis and her lovers probably holds good of all the similar tales that\nwere current in antiquity throughout the East; in particular, it may be\nassumed to apply to the myths of Aphrodite and Adonis in Syria, of Cybele\nand Attis in Phrygia, and of Isis and Osiris in Egypt. ",
"If we could trace\nthese stories back to their origin, we might find that in every case a\nhuman couple acted year by year the parts of the loving goddess and the\ndying god. ",
"We know that down to Roman times Attis was personated by\npriests who bore his name;(866) and if within the period of which we have\nknowledge the dead Attis and the dead Adonis were represented only by\neffigies, we may surmise that it had not always been so, and that in both\ncases the dead god was once represented by a dead man. ",
"Further, the\nlicense accorded to the man who played the dying god at the Sacaea speaks\nstrongly in favour of the hypothesis that before the incarnate deity was\nput to a public death he was in all cases allowed, or rather required, to\nenjoy the embraces of a woman who played the goddess of love. ",
"The reason\nfor such an enforced union of the human god and goddess is not hard to\ndivine. ",
"If primitive man believes that the growth of the crops can be\nstimulated by the intercourse of common men and women,(867) what showers\nof blessings will he not anticipate from the commerce of a pair whom his\nfancy invests with all the dignity and powers of deities of fertility?",
"\n\n(M303) Thus the theory of Movers, that at the Sacaea the Zoganes\nrepresented a god and paired with a woman who personated a goddess, turns\nout to rest on deeper and wider foundations than that able scholar was\naware of. ",
"He thought that the divine couple who figured by deputy at the\nceremony were Semiramis and Sandan or Sardanapalus. ",
"It now appears that he\nwas substantially right as to the goddess; but we have still to enquire\ninto the god. ",
"There seems to be no doubt that the name Sardanapalus is\nonly the Greek way of representing Ashurbanapal, the name of the greatest\nand nearly the last king of Assyria. ",
"But the records of the real monarch\nwhich have come to light within recent years give little support to the\nfables that attached to his name in classical tradition. ",
"For they prove\nthat, far from being the effeminate weakling he seemed to the Greeks of a\nlater age, he was a warlike and enlightened monarch, who carried the arms\nof Assyria to distant lands and fostered at home the growth of science and\nletters.(868) Still, though the historical reality of King Ashurbanapal is\nas well attested as that of Alexander or Charlemagne, it would be no\nwonder if myths gathered, like clouds, round the great figure that loomed\nlarge in the stormy sunset of Assyrian glory. ",
"Now the two features that\nstand out most prominently in the legends of Sardanapalus are his\nextravagant debauchery and his violent death in the flames of a great\npyre, on which he burned himself and his concubines to save them from\nfalling into the hands of his victorious enemies. ",
"It is said that the\nwomanish king, with painted face and arrayed in female attire, passed his\ndays in the seclusion of the harem, spinning purple wool among his\nconcubines and wallowing in sensual delights; and that in the epitaph\nwhich he caused to be carved on his tomb he recorded that all the days of\nhis life he ate and drank and toyed, remembering that life is short and\nfull of trouble, that fortune is uncertain, and that others would soon\nenjoy the good things which he must leave behind.(869) These traits bear\nlittle resemblance to the portrait of Ashurbanapal either in life or in\ndeath; for after a brilliant career of conquest the Assyrian king died in\nold age, at the height of human ambition, with peace at home and triumph\nabroad, the admiration of his subjects and the terror of his foes. ",
"But if\nthe traditional characteristics of Sardanapalus harmonize but ill with\nwhat we know of the real monarch of that name, they fit well enough with\nall that we know or can conjecture of the mock kings who led a short life\nand a merry during the revelry of the Sacaea, the Asiatic equivalent of\nthe Saturnalia. ",
"We can hardly doubt that for the most part such men, with\ndeath staring them in the face at the end of a few days, sought to drown\ncare and deaden fear by plunging madly into all the fleeting joys that\nstill offered themselves under the sun. ",
"When their brief pleasures and\nsharp sufferings were over, and their bones or ashes mingled with the\ndust, what more natural that on their tomb--those mounds in which the\npeople saw, not untruly, the graves of the lovers of Semiramis--there\nshould be carved some such lines as those which tradition placed in the\nmouth of the great Assyrian king, to remind the heedless passer-by of the\nshortness and vanity of life?",
"\n\n(M304) When we turn to Sandan, the other legendary or mythical being whom\nMovers thought that the Zoganes may have personated, we find the arguments\nin support of his theory still stronger. ",
"The city of Tarsus in Cilicia is\nsaid to have been founded by a certain Sandan whom the Greeks identified\nwith Hercules; and at the festival of this god or hero an effigy of him\nwas burned on a great pyre.(870) This Sandan is doubtless the same with\nthe Sandes whom Agathias calls the old Persian Hercules. ",
"Professing to\ngive a list of the gods whom the Persians worshipped before the days of\nZoroaster, the Byzantine historian mentions Bel, Sandes, and Anaitis, whom\nhe identifies with Zeus, Hercules, and Aphrodite respectively.(871) As we\nknow that Bel was a Babylonian, not a Persian deity, and that in later\ntimes Anaitis was practically equivalent to the Babylonian Ishtar or\nAstarte, a strong presumption is raised that Sandes also was a Babylonian\nor at all events Semitic deity, and that in speaking of him as Persian the\nhistorian confused the ancient Persians with the Babylonians and perhaps\nother stocks of Western Asia. ",
"The presumption is strengthened when we find\nthat in Lydia the surname of Sandon, doubtless equivalent to Sandan, is\nsaid to have been borne by Hercules because he wore a woman's garment\ncalled a _sandyx_, fine and diaphanous as gossamer, at the bidding of\nQueen Omphale, whom the hero served for three years in the guise of a\nfemale slave, clad in purple, humbly carding wool and submitting to be\nslapped by the saucy queen with her golden slipper.(872) The familiar\nlegend that Hercules burned himself alive on a great pyre completes the\nparallel between the effeminate Hercules Sandon of Lydia and the Assyrian\nSardanapalus. ",
"So exact a parallel must surely rest on a common base of\ncustom as well as of myth. ",
"That base, according to the conjecture of the\nadmirable scholar K. O. Mueller, may have been a custom of dressing up an\neffigy of an effeminate Asiatic deity in the semblance of a reveller, and\nthen publicly burning it on a pyre. ",
"Such a custom appears to have\nprevailed not only at Tarsus in Cilicia, but also in Lydia; for a coin of\nthe Lydian Philadelphia, a city which lay not far from the old royal\ncapital Sardes, exhibits a device like that on coins of Tarsus, consisting\nof a figure stretched on a pyre. \"",
"We may suppose,\" says Mueller, \"that in\nthe old Assyrian mythology a certain being called Sandan, or perhaps\nSardan, figured beside Baal and Mylitta or Astarte. ",
"The character of this\nmythical personage is one which often meets us in oriental religion--the\nextreme of voluptuousness and sensuality combined with miraculous force\nand heroic strength. ",
"We may imagine that at the great festivals of Nineveh\nthis Sandan or Sardan was exhibited as a buxom figure with womanish\nfeatures, the pale face painted with white lead, the eyebrows and\neyelashes blackened with kohl, his person loaded with golden chains,\nrings, and earrings, arrayed in a bright red transparent garment, grasping\na goblet in one hand and perhaps, as a symbol of strength, a double axe in\nthe other, while he sat cross-legged and surrounded by women on a\nsplendidly adorned couch under a purple canopy, altogether not unlike the\nfigure of Adonis at the court festivals of Alexandria. ",
"Then the people of\n'mad Nineveh,' as the poet Phocylides called it, 'the well-favoured\nharlot,' as the prophet Nahum has it, would rejoice and make merry with\nthis their darling hero. ",
"Afterwards there may have been another show, when\nthis gorgeous Sandan or Sardan was to be seen on a huge pyre of precious\nwood, draped in gold-embroidered tapestry and laden with incense and\nspices of every sort, which being set on fire, to the howling of a\ncountless multitude and the deafening din of shrill music, sent up a\nmonstrous pillar of fire whirling towards heaven and flooded half Nineveh\nwith smoke and smell.",
"\"(873)\n\n(M305) The distinguished scholar whom I have just quoted does not fail to\nrecognize the part which imagination plays in the picture he has set\nbefore us; but he reminds us very properly that in historical enquiries\nimagination must always supply the cement that binds together the broken\nfragments of tradition. ",
"One thing, he thinks, emerges clearly from the\npresent investigation: the worship and legend of an effeminate hero like\nSandan appear to have spread, by means of an early diffusion of the\nSemitic stock, first to the neighbourhood of Tarsus in Cilicia and\nafterwards to Sardes in Lydia. ",
"In favour of the former prevalence of the\nrite in Lydia it may be added that the oldest dynasty of Lydian kings\ntraced their descent, not only from the mythical Assyrian hero Ninus, but\nalso from the Greek hero Hercules,(874) whose legendary death in the fire\nfinds at least a curious echo in the story that Croesus, the last king of\nLydia, was laid by his Persian conqueror Cyrus on a great pyre of wood,\nand was only saved at the last moment from being consumed in the\nflames.(875) May not this story embody a reminiscence of the manner in\nwhich the ancient kings of Lydia, as living embodiments of their god,\nformerly met their end? ",
"It was thus, as we have seen, that the old\nPrussian rulers used to burn themselves alive in front of the sacred\noak;(876) and by an odd coincidence, if it is nothing more, the Greek\nHercules directed that the pyre on which he was to be consumed should be\nmade of the wood of the oak and the wild olive.(877) Some grounds have\nalso been shewn for thinking that in certain South African tribes the\nchiefs may formerly have been burnt alive as a religious or magical\nceremony.(878) All these facts and indications tend to support the view of\nMovers that at the Sacaea also the man who played the god for five days\nwas originally burnt at the end of them.(879) Death by hanging or\ncrucifixion may have been a later mitigation of his sufferings, though it\nis quite possible that both forms of execution or rather of sacrifice may\nhave been combined by hanging or crucifying the victim first and burning\nhim afterwards,(880) much as our forefathers used to disembowel traitors\nafter suspending them for a few minutes on a gibbet. ",
"At Tarsus apparently\nthe custom was still further softened by burning an effigy instead of a\nman; but on this point the evidence is not explicit. ",
"It is worth observing\nthat as late as Lucian's time the principal festival of the year at\nHierapolis--the great seat of the worship of Astarte--fell at the beginning\nof spring and took its name of the Pyre or the Torch from the tall masts\nwhich were burnt in the court of the temple with sheep, goats, and other\nanimals hanging from them.(881) Here the season, the fire, and the\ngallows-tree all fit our hypothesis; only the man-god is wanting.",
"\n\n(M306) If the Jewish festival of Purim was, as I have attempted to shew,\ndirectly descended either from the Sacaea or from some other Semitic\nfestival, of which the central feature was the sacrifice of a man in the\ncharacter of a god, we should expect to find traces of human sacrifice\nlingering about it in one or other of those mitigated forms to which I\nhave just referred. ",
"This expectation is fully borne out by the facts. ",
"For\nfrom an early time it has been customary with the Jews at the feast of\nPurim to burn or otherwise destroy effigies of Haman. ",
"The practice was\nwell known under the Roman empire, for in the year 408 A.D. the emperors\nHonorius and Theodosius issued a decree commanding the governors of the\nprovinces to take care that the Jews should not burn effigies of Haman on\na cross at one of their festivals.(882) We learn from the decree that the\ncustom gave great offence to the Christians, who regarded it as a\nblasphemous parody of the central mystery of their own religion, little\nsuspecting that it was nothing but a continuation, in a milder form, of a\nrite that had probably been celebrated in the East long ages before the\nbirth of Christ. ",
"Apparently the custom long survived the publication of\nthe edict, for in a form of abjuration which the Greek church imposed on\nJewish converts and which seems to date from the tenth century, the\nrenegade is made to speak as follows: \"I curse also those who celebrate\nthe festival of the so-called Mordecai on the first Sabbath (Saturday) of\nthe Christian fast, and who nail Haman forsooth to the tree, attaching to\nit the symbol of the cross and burning him along with it, while they heap\nall sorts of imprecations and curses on the Christians.",
"\"(883) A Jewish\naccount of the custom as it was observed in Babylonia and Persia in the\ntenth century of our era runs as follows: \"It is customary in Babylonia\nand Elam for boys to make an effigy resembling Haman; this they suspend on\ntheir roofs, four or five days before Purim. ",
"On Purim day they erect a\nbonfire, and cast the effigy into its midst, while the boys stand round\nabout it jesting and singing. ",
"And they have a ring suspended in the midst\nof the fire, which (ring) they hold and wave from one side of the fire to\nthe other.",
"\"(884) Again, the Arab historian Albiruni, who wrote in the year\n1000 A.D., informs us that at Purim the Jews of his time rejoiced greatly\nover the death of Haman, and that they made figures which they beat and\nburned, \"imitating the burning of Haman.\" ",
"Hence one name for the festival\nwas Haman-Sur.(885) Another Arabic writer, Makrizi, who died in 1442 A.D.,\nsays that at the feast of Purim, which fell on the fifteenth day of the\nmonth Adar, some of the Jews used to make effigies of Haman which they\nfirst played with and then threw into the fire.(886) During the Middle\nAges the Italian Jews celebrated Purim in a lively fashion which has been\ncompared by their own historians to that of the Carnival. ",
"The children\nused to range themselves in rows opposite each other and pelt one another\nwith nuts, while grown-up people rode on horseback through the streets\nwith pine branches in their hands or blew trumpets and made merry round a\npuppet representing Haman, which was set on a platform or scaffold and\nthen solemnly burnt on a pyre.(887) In the eighteenth century the Jews of\nFrankfort used at Purim to make pyramids of thin wax candles, which they\nset on fire; also they fashioned images of Haman and his wife out of\ncandles and burned them on the reading-desk in the synagogue.(888)\n\n(M307) Now, when we consider the close correspondence in character as well\nas in date between the Jewish Purim and the Christian Carnival, and\nremember further that the effigy of Carnival, which is now destroyed at\nthis merry season, had probably its prototype in a living man who was put\nto a violent death in the character of Saturn at the Saturnalia, analogy\nof itself would suggest that in former times the Jews, like the\nBabylonians, from whom they appear to have derived their Purim, may at one\ntime have burned, hanged, or crucified a real man in the character of\nHaman. ",
"There are some positive grounds for thinking that this was so. ",
"The\nearly church historian Socrates informs us that at Inmestar, a town in\nSyria, the Jews were wont to observe certain sports among themselves, in\nthe course of which they played many foolish pranks. ",
"In the year 416 A.D.,\nbeing heated with wine, they carried these sports further than usual and\nbegan deriding Christians and even Christ himself, and to give the more\nzest to their mockery they seized a Christian child, bound him to a cross,\nand hung him up. ",
"At first they only laughed and jeered at him, but soon,\ntheir passions getting the better of them, they ill-treated the child so\nthat he died under their hands. ",
"The thing got noised abroad, and resulted\nin a serious brawl between the Jews and their Christian neighbours. ",
"The\nauthorities then stepped in, and the Jews had to pay dear for the crime\nthey had perpetrated in sport.(889) The Christian historian does not\nmention, and perhaps did not know, the name of the drunken and jovial\nfestival which ended so tragically; but we can hardly doubt that it was\nPurim, and that the boy who died on the cross represented Haman.(890) In\nmediaeval and modern times many accusations of ritual murders, as they are\ncalled, have been brought against the Jews, and the arguments for and\nagainst the charge have been discussed on both sides with a heat which,\nhowever natural, has tended rather to inflame the passions of the\ndisputants than to elicit the truth.(891) Into this troubled arena I\nprefer not to enter; I will only observe that, so far as I have looked\ninto the alleged cases, and these are reported in sufficient detail, the\nmajority of the victims are said to have been children and to have met\ntheir fate in spring, often in the week before Easter. ",
"This last\ncircumstance points, if there is any truth in the accusations, to a\nconnexion of the human sacrifice with the Passover, which falls in this\nweek, rather than with Purim, which falls a month earlier. ",
"Indeed it has\noften been made a part of the accusation that the blood of the youthful\nvictims was intended to be used at the Passover. ",
"If all the charges of\nritual murder which have been brought against the Jews in modern times are\nnot, as seems most probable, mere idle calumnies, the baneful fruit of\nbigotry, ignorance, and malice, the extraordinary tenacity of life\nexhibited by the lowest forms of superstition in the minds of ignorant\npeople, whether they are Jews or Gentiles, would suffice to account for an\noccasional recrudescence of primitive barbarity among the most degraded\npart of the Jewish community. ",
"To make the Jews as a nation responsible for\noutrages which, if they occur at all, are doubtless quite as repugnant to\nthem as they are to every humane mind, would be a monstrous injustice; it\nwould be as fair to charge Christians in general with complicity in the\nincalculably greater number of massacres and atrocities of every kind that\nhave been perpetrated by Christians in the name of Christianity, not\nmerely on Jews and heathen, but on men and women and children who\nprofessed--and died for--the same faith as their torturers and murderers. ",
"If\ndeeds of the sort alleged have been really done by Jews--a question on\nwhich I must decline to pronounce an opinion--they would interest the\nstudent of custom as isolated instances of reversion to an old and\nbarbarous ritual which once flourished commonly enough among the ancestors\nboth of Jews and Gentiles, but on which, as on a noxious monster, an\nenlightened humanity has long set its heel. ",
"Such customs die hard; it is\nnot the fault of society as a whole if sometimes the reptile has strength\nenough left to lift its venomous head and sting.",
"\n\n(M308) But between the stage when human sacrifice goes on unabashed in the\nlight of common day, and the stage when it has been driven out of sight\ninto dark holes and corners, there intervenes a period during which the\ncustom is slowly dwindling away under the growing light of knowledge and\nphilanthropy. ",
"In this middle period many subterfuges are resorted to for\nthe sake of preserving the old ritual in a form which will not offend the\nnew morality. ",
"A common and successful device is to consummate the\nsacrifice on the person of a malefactor, whose death at the altar or\nelsewhere is little likely to excite pity or indignation, since it\npartakes of the character of a punishment, and people recognize that if\nthe miscreant had not been dealt with by the priest, it would have been\nneedful in the public interest to hand him over to the executioner. ",
"We\nhave seen that in the Rhodian sacrifices to Cronus a condemned criminal\nwas after a time substituted for an innocent victim;(892) and there can be\nlittle doubt that at Babylon the criminals, who perished in the character\nof gods at the Sacaea, enjoyed an honour which, at an earlier period, had\nbeen reserved for more respectable persons. ",
"It seems therefore by no means\nimpossible that the Jews, in borrowing the Sacaea from Babylon under the\nnew name of Purim, should have borrowed along with it the custom of\nputting to death a malefactor who, after masquerading as Mordecai in a\ncrown and royal robe, was hanged or crucified in the character of Haman.",
"\nThere are some grounds for thinking that this or something of this sort\nwas done; but a consideration of them had better be deferred till we have\ncleared up some points which still remain obscure in Purim, and in the\naccount which the Jews give of its origin.",
"\n\n(M309) In the first place, then, it deserves to be remarked that the\njoyous festival of Purim on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month\nAdar is invariably preceded by a fast, known as the fast of Esther, on the\nthirteenth; indeed, some Jews fast for several days before Purim.(893) In\nthe book of Esther the fast is traditionally explained as a commemoration\nof the mourning and lamentation excited among the Jews by the decree of\nKing Ahasuerus that they should all be massacred on the thirteenth day of\nthe month Adar; for \"in every province, whithersoever the king's\ncommandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews,\nand fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and\nashes.\" ",
"And Esther, before she went into the presence of the king to plead\nfor the lives of her people, \"bade them return answer unto Mordecai, Go,\ngather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for\nme, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my\nmaidens will fast in like manner.\" ",
"Hence fasting and lamentation were\nordained as the proper preparation for the happy feast of Purim which\ncommemorated the great deliverance of the Jews from the destruction that\nhad threatened them on the thirteenth day of Adar.(894) Now we have seen\nthat, in the opinion of some eminent modern scholars, the basis of the\nbook of Esther is not history but a Babylonian myth, which celebrated the\ntriumphs and sufferings of deities rather than of men. ",
"On this hypothesis,\nhow is the fast that precedes Purim to be explained? ",
"The best solution\nappears to be that of Jensen, that the fasting and mourning were\noriginally for the supposed annual death of a Semitic god or hero of the\ntype of Tammuz or Adonis, whose resurrection on the following day\noccasioned that outburst of joy and gladness which is characteristic of\nPurim. ",
"The particular god or hero, whose death and resurrection thus\ntouched with sorrow and filled with joy the hearts of his worshippers, may\nhave been, according to Jensen, either the great hero Gilgamesh, or his\ncomrade and friend Eabani.(895) The doughty deeds and adventures of this\nmighty pair are the theme of the longest Babylonian poem that has been as\nyet discovered. ",
"It is recorded on twelve tablets, and this circumstance\nhas suggested to some scholars the view that the story may be a solar\nmyth, descriptive of the sun's annual course through the twelve months or\nthe twelve signs of the zodiac. ",
"However that may be, the scene of the poem\nis laid chiefly at the very ancient Babylonian city of Erech, the chief\nseat of the worship of the goddess Ishtar or Astarte, who plays an\nimportant part in the story. ",
"For the goddess is said to have been smitten\nwith the charms of Gilgamesh, and to have made love to him; but he spurned\nher proffered favours, and thereafter fell into a sore sickness, probably\nthrough the wrath of the offended goddess. ",
"His comrade Eabani also roused\nthe fury of Ishtar, and was wounded to death. ",
"For twelve days he lingered\non a bed of pain, and, when he died, his friend Gilgamesh mourned and\nlamented for him, and rested not until he had prevailed on the god of the\ndead to suffer the spirit of Eabani to return to the upper world. ",
"The\nresurrection of Eabani, recorded on the twelfth tablet, forms the\nconclusion of the long poem.(896) Jensen's theory is that the death and\nresurrection of a mythical being, who combined in himself the features of\na solar god and an ancient king of Erech, were celebrated at the\nBabylonian Zakmuk or festival of the New Year, and that the transference\nof the drama from Erech, its original seat, to Babylon led naturally to\nthe substitution of Marduk, the great god of Babylon, for Gilgamesh or\nEabani in the part of the hero. ",
"Although Jensen apparently does not\nidentify the Zakmuk with the Sacaea, a little consideration will shew how\nwell his general theory of Zakmuk fits in with those features of the\nSacaean festival which have emerged in the course of our enquiry. ",
"At the\nSacaean festival, if I am right, a man, who personated a god or hero of\nthe type of Tammuz or Adonis, enjoyed the favours of a woman, probably a\nsacred harlot, who represented the great Semitic goddess Ishtar or\nAstarte; and after he had thus done his part towards securing, by means of\nsympathetic magic, the revival of plant life in spring, he was put to\ndeath. ",
"We may suppose that the death of this divine man was mourned over\nby his worshippers, and especially by women, in much the same fashion as\nthe women of Jerusalem wept for Tammuz at the gate of the temple,(897) and\nas Syrian damsels mourned the dead Adonis, while the river ran red with\nhis blood. ",
"Such rites appear, in fact, to have been common all over\nWestern Asia; the particular name of the dying god varied in different\nplaces, but in substance the ritual was the same. ",
"Fundamentally, the\ncustom was a religious or rather magical ceremony intended to ensure the\nrevival and reproduction of life in spring.",
"\n\n(M310) Now, if this interpretation of the Sacaea is correct, it is obvious\nthat one important feature of the ceremony is wanting in the brief notices\nof the festival that have come down to us. ",
"The death of the man-god at the\nfestival is recorded, but nothing is said of his resurrection. ",
"Yet if he\nreally personated a being of the Adonis or Attis type, we may feel pretty\nsure that his dramatic death was followed at a shorter or longer interval\nby his dramatic revival, just as at the festivals of Attis and Adonis the\nresurrection of the dead god quickly succeeded to his mimic death.(898)\nHere, however, a difficulty presents itself. ",
"At the Sacaea the man-god\ndied a real, not a mere mimic death; and in ordinary life the resurrection\neven of a man-god is at least not an everyday occurrence. ",
"What was to be\ndone? ",
"The man, or rather the god, was undoubtedly dead. ",
"How was he to come\nto life again? ",
"Obviously the best, if not the only way, was to set another\nand living man to support the character of the reviving god, and we may\nconjecture that this was done. ",
"We may suppose that the insignia of royalty\nwhich had adorned the dead man were transferred to his successor, who,\narrayed in them, would be presented to his rejoicing worshippers as their\ngod come to life again; and by his side would probably be displayed a\nwoman in the character of his divine consort, the goddess Ishtar or\nAstarte. ",
"In favour of this hypothesis it may be observed that it at once\nfurnishes a clear and intelligible explanation of a remarkable feature in\nthe book of Esther which has not yet, so far as I am aware, been\nadequately elucidated; I mean that apparent duplication of the principal\ncharacters to which I have already directed the reader's attention. ",
"If I\nam right, Haman represents the temporary king or mortal god who was put to\ndeath at the Sacaea; and his rival Mordecai represents the other temporary\nking who, on the death of his predecessor, was invested with his royal\ninsignia, and exhibited to the people as the god come to life again.",
"\nSimilarly Vashti, the deposed queen in the narrative, corresponds to the\nwoman who played the part of queen and goddess to the first mock king, the\nHaman; and her successful rival, Esther or Ishtar, answers to the woman\nwho figured as the divine consort of the second mock king, the Mordecai or\nMarduk. ",
"A trace of the sexual license accorded to the mock king of the\nfestival seems to be preserved in the statement that King Ahasuerus found\nHaman fallen on the bed with Esther and asked, \"Will he even force the\nqueen before me in the house?\"(899) We have seen that the mock king of the\nSacaea did actually possess the right of using the real king's concubines,\nand there is much to be said for the view of Movers that he began his\nshort reign by exercising the right in public.(900) In the parallel ritual\nof Adonis the marriage of the goddess with her ill-fated lover was\npublicly celebrated the day before his mimic death.(901) A clear\nreminiscence of the time when the relation between Esther and Mordecai was\nconceived as much more intimate than mere cousinship appears to be\npreserved in some of the Jewish plays acted at Purim, in which Mordecai\nappears as the lover of Esther; and this significant indication is\nconfirmed by the teaching of the rabbis that King Ahasuerus never really\nknew Esther, but that a phantom in her likeness lay with him while the\nreal Esther sat on the lap of Mordecai.(902)\n\n(M311) The Persian setting, in which the Hebrew author of the book of\nEsther has framed his highly- picture, naturally suggests that the\nJews derived their feast of Purim not directly from the old Babylonians,\nbut from their Persian conquerors. ",
"Even if this could be demonstrated, it\nwould in no way invalidate the theory that Purim originated in the\nBabylonian festival of the Sacaea, since we know that the Sacaea was\ncelebrated by the Persians.(903) Hence it becomes worth while to enquire\nwhether in the Persian religion we can detect any traces of a festival\nakin to the Sacaea or Purim. ",
"Here Lagarde has shewn the way by directing\nattention to the old Persian ceremony known as the \"Ride of the Beardless\nOne.",
"\"(904) This was a rite performed both in Persia and Babylonia at the\nbeginning of spring, on the first day of the first month, which in the\nmost ancient Persian calendar corresponded to March, so that the date of\nthe ceremony agrees with that of the Babylonian New Year festival of\nZakmuk. ",
"A beardless and, if possible, one-eyed buffoon was set naked on an\nass, a horse, or a mule, and conducted in a sort of mock triumph through\nthe streets of the city. ",
"In one hand he held a crow and in the other a\nfan, with which he fanned himself, complaining of the heat, while the\npeople pelted him with ice and snow and drenched him with cold water. ",
"He\nwas supposed to drive away the cold, and to aid him perhaps in discharging\nthis useful function he was fed with hot food, and hot stuffs were smeared\non his body. ",
"Riding on his ass and attended by all the king's household,\nif the city happened to be the capital, or, if it was not, by all the\nretainers of the governor, who were also mounted, he paraded the streets\nand extorted contributions. ",
"He stopped at the doors of the rich, and if\nthey did not give him what he asked for, he befouled their garments with\nmud or a mixture of red ochre and water, which he carried in an\nearthenware pot. ",
"If a shopkeeper hesitated a moment to respond to his\ndemands, the importunate beggar had the right to confiscate all the goods\nin the shop; so the tradesmen who saw him bearing down on them, not\nunnaturally hastened to anticipate his wants by contributing of their\nsubstance before he could board them. ",
"Everything that he thus collected\nfrom break of day to the time of morning prayers belonged to the king or\ngovernor of the city; but everything that he laid hands on between the\nfirst and the second hour of prayer he kept for himself. ",
"After the second\nprayers he disappeared, and if the people caught him later in the day they\nwere free to beat him to their heart's content. \"",
"In like manner,\" proceeds\none of the native writers who has described the custom, \"people at the\npresent time appoint a New Year Lord and make merry. ",
"And this they do\nbecause the season, which is the beginning of Azur or March, coincides\nwith the sun's entry into Aries, for on that day they disport themselves\nand rejoice because the winter is over.",
"\"(905)\n\n(M312) Now in this harlequin, who rode through the streets attended by all\nthe king's men, and levying contributions which went either to the royal\ntreasury or to the pocket of the collector, we recognize the familiar\nfeatures of the mock or temporary king, who is invested for a short time\nwith the pomp and privileges of royalty for reasons which have been\nalready explained.(906) The abrupt disappearance of the Persian clown at a\ncertain hour of the day, coupled with the leave given to the populace to\nthrash him if they found him afterwards, points plainly enough to the\nharder fate that probably awaited him in former days, when he paid with\nhis life for his brief tenure of a kingly crown. ",
"The resemblance between\nhis burlesque progress and that of Mordecai through the streets of Susa is\nobvious; though the Jewish author of Esther has depicted in brighter\ncolours the pomp of his hero \"in royal apparel of blue and white, and with\na great crown of gold, and with a robe of fine linen and purple,\" riding\nthe king's own charger, and led through the city by one of the king's most\nnoble princes.(907) The difference between the two scenes is probably not\nto be explained simply by the desire of the Jewish writer to shed a halo\nof glory round the personage whom he regarded as the deliverer of his\npeople. ",
"So long as the temporary king was a real substitute for the\nreigning monarch, and had to die sooner or later in his stead, it was\nnatural that he should be treated with a greater show of deference, and\nshould simulate his royal brother more closely than a clown who had\nnothing worse than a beating to fear when he laid down his office. ",
"In\nshort, after the serious meaning of the custom had been forgotten, and the\nsubstitute was allowed to escape with his life, the high tragedy of the\nancient ceremony would rapidly degenerate into farce.",
"\n\n(M313) But while the \"Ride of the Beardless One\" is, from one point of\nview, a degenerate copy of the original, regarded from another point of\nview, it preserves some features which are almost certainly primitive,\nthough they do not appear in the kindred Babylonian and Jewish festivals.",
"\nThe Persian custom bears the stamp of a popular festivity rather than of a\nstate ceremonial, and everywhere it seems as if popular festivals, when\nleft to propagate themselves freely among the folk, reveal their old\nmeaning and intention more transparently than when they have been adopted\ninto the official religion and enshrined in a ritual. ",
"The simple thoughts\nof our simple forefathers are better understood by their unlettered\ndescendants than by the majority of educated people; their rude rites are\nmore faithfully preserved and more truly interpreted by a rude peasantry\nthan by the priest, who wraps up their nakedness in the gorgeous pall of\nreligious pomp, or by the philosopher, who dissolves their crudities into\nthe thin air of allegory. ",
"In the present instance the purpose of the \"Ride\nof the Beardless One\" at the beginning of spring is sufficiently obvious;\nit was meant to hasten the departure of winter and the approach of summer.",
"\nWe are expressly told that the clown who went about fanning himself and\ncomplaining of the heat, while the populace snowballed him, was supposed\nto dispel the cold; and even without any such assurance we should be\njustified in inferring as much from his behaviour. ",
"On the principles of\nhomoeopathic or imitative magic, which is little more than an elaborate\nsystem of make-believe, you can make the weather warm by pretending that\nit is so; or if you cannot, you may be sure that there is some person\nwiser than yourself who can. ",
"Such a wizard, in the estimation of the\nPersians, was the beardless one-eyed man who went through the performance\nI have described; and no doubt his physical defects were believed to\ncontribute in some occult manner to the success of the rite. ",
"The ceremony\nwas thus, as Lagarde acutely perceived, the oriental equivalent of those\npopular European customs which celebrate the advent of spring by\nrepresenting in a dramatic form the expulsion or defeat of winter by the\nvictorious summer.(908) But whereas in Europe the two rival seasons are\noften, if not regularly, personated by two actors or two effigies, in\nPersia a single actor sufficed. ",
"Whether he definitely represented winter\nor summer is not quite clear; but his pretence of suffering from heat and\nhis final disappearance suggest that, if he personified either of the\nseasons, it was the departing winter rather than the coming summer.",
"\n\n(M314) If there is any truth in the connexion thus traced between Purim\nand the \"Ride of the Beardless One,\" we are now in a position finally to\nunmask the leading personages in the book of Esther. ",
"I have attempted to\nshew that Haman and Vashti are little more than doubles of Mordecai and\nEsther, who in turn conceal under a thin disguise the features of Marduk\nand Ishtar, the great god and goddess of Babylon. ",
"But why, the reader may\nask, should the divine pair be thus duplicated and the two pairs set in\nopposition to each other? ",
"The answer is suggested by the popular European\ncelebrations of spring to which I have just adverted. ",
"If my interpretation\nof these customs is right, the contrast between the summer and winter, or\nbetween the life and death, which figure in effigy or in the persons of\nliving representatives at the spring ceremonies of our peasantry, is\nfundamentally a contrast between the dying or dead vegetation of the old\nand the sprouting vegetation of the new year--a contrast which would lose\nnothing of its point when, as in ancient Rome and Babylon and Persia, the\nbeginning of spring was also the beginning of the new year. ",
"In these and\nin all the ceremonies we have been examining the antagonism is not between\npowers of a different order, but between the same power viewed in\ndifferent aspects as old and young; it is, in short, nothing but the\neternal and pathetic contrast between youth and age. ",
"And as the power or\nspirit of vegetation is represented in religious ritual and popular custom\nby a human pair, whether they be called Ishtar and Tammuz, or Venus and\nAdonis, or the Queen and King of May, so we may expect to find the old\ndecrepit spirit of the past year personated by one pair, and the fresh\nyoung spirit of the new year by another. ",
"This, if my hypothesis is right,\nis the ultimate explanation of the struggle between Haman and Vashti on\nthe one side, and their doubles Mordecai and Esther on the other. ",
"In the\nlast analysis both pairs stood for the powers that make for the fertility\nof plants and perhaps also of animals;(909) but the one pair embodied the\nfailing energies of the past, and the other the vigorous and growing\nenergies of the coming year.(910) Both powers, on my hypothesis, were\npersonified not merely in myth, but in custom; for year by year a human\ncouple undertook to quicken the life of nature by a union in which, as in\na microcosm, the loves of tree and plant, of herb and flower, of bird and\nbeast were supposed in some mystic fashion to be summed up.(911)\nOriginally, we may conjecture, such couples exercised their functions for\na whole year, on the conclusion of which the male partner--the divine\nking--was put to death; but in historical times it seems that, as a rule,\nthe human god--the Saturn, Zoganes, Tammuz, or whatever he was\ncalled--enjoyed his divine privileges, and discharged his divine duties\nonly for a short part of the year. ",
"This curtailment of his reign on earth\nwas probably introduced at the time when the old hereditary divinities or\ndeified kings contrived to shift the most painful part of their duties to\na substitute, whether that substitute was a son or a slave or a\nmalefactor. ",
"Having to die as a king, it was necessary that the substitute\nshould also live as a king for a season; but the real monarch would\nnaturally restrict within the narrowest limits both of time and of power a\nreign which, so long as it lasted, necessarily encroached upon and indeed\nsuperseded his own.(912) What became of the divine king's female partner,\nthe human goddess who shared his bed and transmitted his beneficent\nenergies to the rest of nature, we cannot say. ",
"So far as I am aware, there\nis little or no evidence that she like him suffered death when her primary\nfunction was discharged.(913) The nature of maternity suggests an obvious\nreason for sparing her a little longer, till that mysterious law, which\nlinks together woman's life with the changing aspects of the nightly sky,\nhad been fulfilled by the birth of an infant god, who should in his turn,\nreared perhaps by her tender care, grow up to live and die for the world.",
"\n\n\n\n\n§ 6. ",
"Conclusion.",
"\n\n\n(M315) We may now sum up the general results of the enquiry which we have\npursued in the present chapter. ",
"We have found evidence that festivals of\nthe type of the Saturnalia, characterized by an inversion of social ranks\nand the sacrifice of a man in the character of a god, were at one time\nheld all over the ancient world from Italy to Babylon. ",
"Such festivals seem\nto date from an early age in the history of agriculture, when people lived\nin small communities, each presided over by a sacred or divine king, whose\nprimary duty was to secure the orderly succession of the seasons, the\nfertility of the earth, and the fecundity both of cattle and of women.",
"\nAssociated with him was his wife or other female consort, with whom he\nperformed some of the necessary ceremonies, and who therefore shared his\ndivine character. ",
"Originally his term of office appears to have been\nlimited to a year, on the conclusion of which he was put to death; but in\ntime he contrived by force or craft to extend his reign and sometimes to\nprocure a substitute, who after a short and more or less nominal tenure of\nthe crown was slain in his stead. ",
"At first the substitute for the divine\nfather was probably the divine son, but afterwards this rule was no longer\ninsisted on, and still later the growth of a humane feeling demanded that\nthe victim should always be a condemned criminal. ",
"In this advanced stage\nof degeneration it is no wonder if the light of divinity suffered eclipse,\nand many should fail to detect the god in the malefactor. ",
"Yet the downward\ncareer of fallen deity does not stop here; even a criminal comes to be\nthought too good to personate a god on the gallows or in the fire; and\nthen there is nothing left but to make up a more or less grotesque effigy,\nand so to hang, burn, or otherwise destroy the god in the person of this\nsorry representative. ",
"By this time the original meaning of the ceremony\nmay be so completely forgotten that the puppet is supposed to represent\nsome historical personage, who earned the hatred and contempt of his\nfellows in his life, and whose memory has ever since been held up to\neternal execration by the annual destruction of his effigy. ",
"The figures of\nHaman, of the Carnival, and of Winter or Death which are or used to be\nannually destroyed in spring by Jews, Catholics, and the peasants of\nCentral Europe respectively, appear to be all lineal descendants of those\nhuman incarnations of the powers of nature whose life and death were\ndeemed essential to the welfare of mankind. ",
"But of the three the only one\nwhich has preserved a clear trace of its original meaning is the effigy of\nWinter or Death. ",
"In the others the ancient significance of the custom as a\nmagical ceremony designed to direct the course of nature has been almost\nwholly obscured by a thick aftergrowth of legend and myth. ",
"The cause of\nthis distinction is that, whereas the practice of destroying an effigy of\nWinter or Death has been handed down from time immemorial through\ngenerations of simple peasants, the festivals of Purim and the Carnival,\nas well as their Babylonian and Italian prototypes, the Sacaea and the\nSaturnalia, were for centuries domesticated in cities, where they were\nnecessarily exposed to those thousand transforming and disintegrating\ncurrents of speculation and enquiry, of priestcraft and policy, which roll\ntheir turbid waters through the busy haunts of men, but leave undefiled\nthe limpid springs of mythic fancy in the country.",
"\n\n(M316) If there is any truth in the analysis of the Saturnalia and kindred\nfestivals which I have now brought to a close, it seems to point to a\nremarkable homogeneity of civilization throughout Southern Europe and\nWestern Asia in prehistoric times. ",
"How far such homogeneity of\ncivilization may be taken as evidence of homogeneity of race is a question\nfor the ethnologist; it does not concern us here. ",
"But without discussing\nit, I may remind the reader that in the far east of Asia we have met with\ntemporary kings whose magical functions and intimate relation to\nagriculture stand out in the clearest light;(914) while India furnishes\nexamples of kings who have regularly been obliged to sacrifice themselves\nat the end of a term of years.(915) All these things appear to hang\ntogether; all of them may, perhaps, be regarded as the shattered remnants\nof a uniform zone of religion and society which at a remote era belted the\nOld World from the Mediterranean to the Pacific. ",
"Whether that was so or\nnot, I may at least claim to have made it probable that if the King of the\nWood at Aricia lived and died as an incarnation of a sylvan deity, the\nfunctions he thus discharged were by no means singular, and that for the\nnearest parallel to them we need not go beyond the bounds of Italy, where\nthe divine king Saturn--the god of the sown and sprouting seed--was annually\nslain in the person of a human representative at his ancient festival of\nthe Saturnalia.",
"\n\n(M317) It is possible that such sacrifices of deified men, performed for\nthe salvation of the world, may have helped to beget the notion that the\nuniverse or some part of it was originally created out of the bodies of\ngods offered up in sacrifice. ",
"Certainly it is curious that notions of this\nsort meet us precisely in parts of the world where such sacrifices appear\nto have been regularly accomplished. ",
"Thus in ancient Mexico, where the\nsacrifice of human beings in the character of gods formed a conspicuous\nfeature of the national religion, it is said that in the beginning, when\nas yet the light of day was not, the gods created the sun to illumine the\nearth by voluntarily burning themselves in the fire, leaping one after the\nother into the flames of a great furnace.(916) Again, in the Babylonian\nGenesis the great god Bel created the world by cleaving the female monster\nTiamat in twain and using the severed halves of her body to form the\nheaven and the earth. ",
"Afterwards, perceiving that the earth was waste and\nvoid, he obligingly ordered one of the gods to cut off his, the Creator's,\nhead, and with the flowing blood mixed with clay he kneaded a paste out of\nwhich he moulded men and animals.(917) Similarly in a hymn of the Rig Veda\nwe read how the gods created the world out of the dismembered body of the\ngreat primordial giant Purushu. ",
"The sky was made out of his head, the\nearth out of his feet, the sun out of his eye, and the moon out of his\nmind; animals and men were also engendered from his dripping fat or his\nlimbs, and the great gods Indra and Agni sprang from his mouth.(918) The\ncrude, nay savage, account of creation thus set forth by the poet was\nretained by the Brahman doctors of a later age and refined by them into a\nsubtle theory of sacrifice in general. ",
"According to them the world was not\nonly created in the beginning by the sacrifice of the creator Prajapati,\nthe Lord of Creatures; to this day it is renewed and preserved solely by a\nrepetition of that mystic sacrifice in the daily sacrificial ritual\ncelebrated by the Brahmans. ",
"Every day the body of the Creator and Saviour\nis broken anew, and every day it is pieced together for the restoration\nand conservation of a universe which otherwise must dissolve and be\nshattered into fragments. ",
"Thus is the world continually created afresh by\nthe self-sacrifice of the deity; and, wonderful to relate, the priest who\noffers the sacrifice identifies himself with the Creator, and so by the\nvery act of sacrificing renews the universe and keeps up uninterrupted the\nrevolution of time and matter. ",
"All things depend on his beneficent, nay\ndivine activity, from the heaven above to the earth beneath, from the\ngreatest god to the meanest worm, from the sun and moon to the humblest\nblade of grass and the minutest particle of dust. ",
"Happily this grandiose\ntheory of sacrifice as a process essential to the salvation of the world\ndoes not oblige the priest to imitate his glorious prototype by\ndismembering his own body and shedding his blood on the altar; on the\ncontrary a comfortable corollary deduced from it holds out to him the\npleasing prospect of living for the unspeakable benefit of society to a\ngood old age, indeed of stretching out the brief span of human existence\nto a full hundred years.(919) Well is it, not only for the priest but for\nmankind, when with the slow progress of civilization and humanity the hard\nfacts of a cruel ritual have thus been softened and diluted into the\nnebulous abstractions of a mystical theology.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nNOTE. ",
"THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST.(920)\n\n\n(M318) An eminent scholar has recently pointed out the remarkable\nresemblance between the treatment of Christ by the Roman soldiers at\nJerusalem and the treatment of the mock king of the Saturnalia by the\nRoman soldiers at Durostorum; and he would explain the similarity by\nsupposing that the soldiers ridiculed the claims of Christ to a divine\nkingdom by arraying him in the familiar garb of old King Saturn, whose\nquaint person figured so prominently at the winter revels.(921) Even if\nthe theory should prove to be right, we can hardly suppose that Christ\nplayed the part of the regular Saturn of the year, since at the beginning\nof our era the Saturnalia fell at midwinter, whereas Christ was crucified\nat the Passover in spring. ",
"There is, indeed, as I have pointed out, some\nreason to think that when the Roman year began in March the Saturnalia was\nheld in spring, and that in remote districts the festival always continued\nto be celebrated at the ancient date. ",
"If the Roman garrison of Jerusalem\nconformed to the old fashion in this respect, it seems not quite\nimpossible that their celebration of the Saturnalia may have coincided\nwith the Passover; and that thus Christ, as a condemned criminal, may have\nbeen given up to them to make sport with as the Saturn of the year. ",
"But on\nthe other hand it is rather unlikely that the officers, as representatives\nof the State, would have allowed their men to hold the festival at any but\nthe official date; even in the distant town of Durostorum we saw that the\nRoman soldiers celebrated the Saturnalia in December. ",
"Thus if the\nlegionaries at Jerusalem really intended to mock Christ by treating him\nlike the burlesque king of the Saturnalia, they probably did so only by\nway of a jest which was in more senses than one unseasonable.",
"\n\n(M319) But closely as the passion of Christ resembles the treatment of the\nmock king of the Saturnalia, it resembles still more closely the treatment\nof the mock king of the Sacaea.(922) The description of the mockery by St.\nMatthew is the fullest. ",
"It runs thus: \"Then released he Barabbas unto\nthem: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.",
"\nThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and\ngathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. ",
"And they stripped him, and\nput on him a scarlet robe. ",
"And when they had platted a crown of thorns,\nthey put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed\nthe knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ",
"And\nthey spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. ",
"And\nafter that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put\nhis own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.",
"\"(923) Compare\nwith this the treatment of the mock king of the Sacaea, as it is described\nby Dio Chrysostom: \"They take one of the prisoners condemned to death and\nseat him upon the king's throne, and give him the king's raiment, and let\nhim lord it and drink and run riot and use the king's concubines during\nthese days, and no man prevents him from doing just what he likes. ",
"But\nafterwards they strip and scourge and crucify him.",
"\"(924) Now it is quite\npossible that this remarkable resemblance is after all a mere coincidence,\nand that Christ was executed in the ordinary way as a common malefactor;\nbut on the other hand there are so many scattered hints and indications of\nsomething unusual, so many broken lines seemingly converging towards the\ncross on Calvary, that it is worth while to follow them up and see where\nthey lead us. ",
"In attempting to draw these fragmentary data together, to\nbridge the chasms, and to restore the shattered whole, we must beware of\nmistaking hypothesis for the facts which it only professes to cement; yet\neven if our hypothesis should be thought to bear a somewhat undue\nproportion to the facts, the excess may perhaps be overlooked in\nconsideration of the obscurity and the importance of the enquiry. (",
"M320)\nWe have seen reason to think that the Jewish festival of Purim is a\ncontinuation, under a changed name, of the Babylonian Sacaea, and that in\ncelebrating it by the destruction of an effigy of Haman the modern Jews\nhave kept up a reminiscence of the ancient custom of crucifying or hanging\na man in the character of a god at the festival. ",
"Is it not possible that\nat an earlier time they may, like the Babylonians themselves, have\nregularly compelled a condemned criminal to play the tragic part, and that\nChrist thus perished in the character of Haman? ",
"The resemblance between\nthe hanged Haman and the crucified Christ struck the early Christians\nthemselves; and whenever the Jews destroyed an effigy of Haman they were\naccused by their Christian neighbours of deriding the most sacred mystery\nof the new faith.(925) It is probable that on this painful subject the\nChristians were too sensitive; remembering the manner of their Founder's\ndeath it was natural that they should wince at any pointed allusion to a\ncross, a gallows, or a public execution, even when the shaft was not aimed\nat them. ",
"An objection to supposing that Christ died as the Haman of the\nyear is that according to the Gospel narrative the crucifixion occurred at\nthe Passover, on the fourteenth day of the month Nisan, whereas the feast\nof Purim, at which the hanging of Haman would naturally take place, fell\nexactly a month earlier, namely, on the fourteenth day of the month Adar.",
"\nI have no wish to blink or extenuate the serious nature of the difficulty\narising from this discrepancy of dates, but I would suggest some\nconsiderations which may make us hesitate to decide that the discrepancy\nis fatal. ",
"In the first place, it is possible, though perhaps not probable,\nthat Christian tradition shifted the date of the crucifixion by a month in\norder to make the great sacrifice of the Lamb of God coincide with that\nannual sacrifice of the Passover lamb which in the belief of pious hearts\nhad so long foreshadowed it and was thenceforth to cease.(926) Instances\nof gentle pressure brought to bear, for purposes of edification, on\nstubborn facts are perhaps not wholly unknown in the annals of religion.",
"\nBut the express testimony of history is never to be lightly set aside; and\nin the investigation of its problems a solution which assumes the veracity\nand accuracy of the historian is, on an even balance of probabilities,\nalways to be preferred to one which impugns them both. ",
"Now in the present\ncase we have seen reason to think that the Babylonian New Year festival,\nof which Purim was a continuation, did fall in Nisan at or near the time\nof the Passover, and that when the Jews borrowed the festival they altered\nthe date from Nisan to Adar in order to prevent the new feast from\nclashing with the old Passover. ",
"A reminiscence of the original date of\nPurim perhaps survives, as I have already pointed out, in the statement in\nthe book of Esther that Haman caused _pur_ or lots to be cast before him\nfrom the month of Nisan onward.(927) It thus seems not impossible that\noccasionally, for some special reason, the Jews should have celebrated the\nfeast of Purim, or at least the death of Haman, at or about the time of\nthe Passover. ",
"But there is another possibility which, remote and fanciful\nas it may appear, deserves at least to be mentioned. ",
"The mock king of the\nSaturnalia, whose resemblance to the dying Christ was first pointed out by\nMr. Wendland, was allowed a period of license of thirty days before he was\nput to death. ",
"If we could suppose that in like manner the Jews spared the\nhuman representative of Haman for one month from Purim, the date of his\nexecution would fall exactly on the Passover. ",
"Which, if any, of these\nconjectural solutions of the difficulty is the true one, I will not\nundertake to say. ",
"I am fully conscious of the doubt and uncertainty that\nhang round the whole subject; and if in this and what follows I throw out\nsome hints and suggestions, it is more in the hope of stimulating and\ndirecting further enquiry than with any expectation of reaching definite\nconclusions.",
"\n\n(M321) It may be objected that the mockery of Christ was done, not by the\nJews, but by the Roman soldiers, who knew and cared nothing about Haman;\nhow then can we suppose that the purple or scarlet robe, the sceptre of\nreed, and the crown of thorns, which the soldiers thrust upon Christ, were\nthe regular insignia of the Haman of the year? ",
"To this we may reply, in\nthe first place, that even if the legions stationed in Syria were not\nrecruited in the country, they may have contracted some of the native\nsuperstitions and have fallen in with the local customs. ",
"This is not an\nidle conjecture. ",
"We know that the third legion during its stay in Syria\nlearned the Syrian custom of saluting the rising sun, and that this formal\nsalute, performed by the whole regiment as one man at a critical moment of\nthe great battle of Bedriacum, actually helped to turn the scale when the\nfortune of empire hung trembling in the balance.(928) But it is not\nnecessary to suppose that the garrison of Jerusalem really shared the\nbeliefs and prejudices of the mob whom they overawed; soldiers everywhere\nare ready to go with a crowd bent on sport, without asking any curious\nquestions as to the history or quality of the entertainment, and we should\nprobably do the humanity of Roman soldiers too much honour if we imagined\nthat they would be deterred by any qualm of conscience from joining in the\npastime, which is still so popular, of baiting a Jew to death. ",
"But in the\nsecond place it should be observed that, according to one of the\nEvangelists, it was not the soldiers of Pilate who mocked Jesus, but the\nsoldiers of Herod,(929) and we may fairly assume that Herod's guards were\nJews.",
"\n\n(M322) The hypothesis that the crucifixion with all its cruel mockery was\nnot a punishment specially devised for Christ, but was merely the fate\nthat annually befell the malefactor who played Haman, appears to go some\nway towards relieving the Gospel narrative of certain difficulties which\notherwise beset it. ",
"If, as we read in the Gospels, Pilate was really\nanxious to save the innocent man whose fine bearing seems to have struck\nhim, what was to hinder him from doing so? ",
"He had the power of life and\ndeath; why should he not have exercised it on the side of mercy, if his\nown judgment inclined that way? ",
"His reluctant acquiescence in the\nimportunate demand of the rabble becomes easier to understand if we assume\nthat custom obliged him annually at this season to give up to them a\nprisoner on whom they might play their cruel pranks. ",
"On this assumption\nPilate had no power to prevent the sacrifice; the most he could do was to\nchoose the victim.",
"\n\nAgain, consider the remarkable statement of the Evangelists that Pilate\nset up over the cross a superscription stating that the man who hung on it\nwas king of the Jews.(930) Is it likely that in the reign of Tiberius a\nRoman governor, with the fear of the jealous and suspicious old emperor\nbefore his eyes, would have ventured, even in mockery, to blazon forth a\nseditious claim of this sort unless it were the regular formula employed\non such occasions, recognized by custom, and therefore not liable to be\nmisconstrued into treason by the malignity of informers and the fears of a\ntyrant?",
"\n\nBut if the tragedy of the ill-fated aspirant after royal honours was\nannually enacted at Jerusalem by a prisoner who perished on the cross, it\nbecomes probable that the part of his successful rival was also played by\nanother actor who paraded in the same kingly trappings but did not share\nthe same fate. ",
"If Jesus was the Haman of the year, where was the Mordecai?",
"\nPerhaps we may find him in Barabbas.",
"\n\n(M323) We are told by the Evangelists that at the feast which witnessed\nthe crucifixion of Christ it was the custom for the Roman governor to\nrelease one prisoner, whomsoever the people desired, and that Pilate,\nconvinced of the innocence of Jesus, attempted to persuade the multitude\nto choose him as the man who should go free. ",
"But, hounded on by the\npriests and elders who had marked out Jesus for destruction, the rabble\nwould not hear of this, and clamoured for the blood of Jesus, while they\ndemanded the release of a certain miscreant, by name Barabbas, who lay in\ngaol for murder and sedition. ",
"Accordingly Pilate had to give way: Christ\nwas crucified and Barabbas set at liberty.(931) Now what, we may ask, was\nthe reason for setting free a prisoner at this festival? ",
"In the absence of\npositive information, we may conjecture that the gaol-bird whose cage was\nthrown open at this time had to purchase his freedom by performing some\nservice from which decent people would shrink. ",
"Such a service may very\nwell have been that of going about the streets, rigged out in tawdry\nsplendour with a tinsel crown on his head and a sham sceptre in his hand,\npreceded and followed by all the tag-rag and bobtail of the town hooting,\njeering, and breaking coarse jests at his expense, while some pretended to\nsalaam his mock majesty, and others belaboured the donkey on which he\nrode. ",
"It was in this fashion, probably, that in Persia the beardless and\none-eyed man made his undignified progress through the town, to the\ndelight of ragamuffins and the terror of shopkeepers, whose goods he\nunceremoniously confiscated if they did not hasten to lay their\npeace-offerings at his feet. ",
"So, perhaps, the ruffian Barabbas, when his\nirons were knocked off and the prison door had grated on its hinges to let\nhim forth, tasted the first sweets of liberty in this public manner, even\nif he was not suffered, like his one-eyed brother, to make raids with\nimpunity on the stalls of the merchants and the tables of the\nmoney-changers. ",
"A curious confirmation of this conjecture is supplied by a\npassage in the writings of Philo the Jew, who lived at Alexandria in the\ntime of Christ. ",
"He tells us that when Agrippa, the grandson of Herod, had\nreceived the crown of Judaea from Caligula at Rome, the new king passed\nthrough Alexandria on his way to his own country. ",
"The disorderly populace\nof that great city, animated by a hearty dislike of his nation, seized the\nopportunity of venting their spite by publicly defaming and ridiculing the\nJewish monarch. ",
"Among other things they laid hold of a certain harmless\nlunatic named Carabas, who used to roam the streets stark naked, the butt\nand laughing-stock of urchins and idlers. ",
"This poor wretch they set up in\na public place, clapped a paper crown on his head, thrust a broken reed\ninto his hand by way of a sceptre, and having huddled a mat instead of a\nroyal robe about his naked body, and surrounded him with a guard of\nbludgeon-men, they did obeisance to him as to a king and made a show of\ntaking his opinion on questions of law and policy. ",
"To point the jest\nunmistakably at the Syrian king Agrippa, the bystanders raised cries of\n\"Marin! ",
"Marin!\" ",
"which they understood to be the Syrian word for\n\"lord.",
"\"(932) This mockery of the Jewish king closely resembles the mockery\nof Christ; and the joke, such as it was, would receive a keener edge if we\ncould suppose that the riff-raff of Alexandria were familiar with the\nJewish practice of setting up a sham king on certain occasions, and that\nthey meant by implication to ridicule the real King Agrippa by comparing\nhim to his holiday counterfeit. ",
"May we go a step further and conjecture\nthat one at least of the titles of the mock king of the Jews was regularly\nBarabbas? ",
"The poor imbecile who masqueraded in a paper crown at Alexandria\nwas probably a Jew, otherwise the jest would have lost much of its point;\nand his name, according to the Greek manuscripts of Philo, was Carabas.",
"\nBut Carabas is meaningless in Hebrew, whereas Barabbas is a regularly\nformed Hebrew word meaning \"Son of the Father.\" ",
"The palaeographic\ndifference between the two forms is slight, and perhaps we shall hardly be\ndeemed very rash if we conjecture that in the passage in question Philo\nhimself wrote Barabbas, which a Greek copyist, ignorant of Hebrew,\nafterwards corrupted into Carabas. ",
"If this were granted, we should still\nhave to assume that both Philo and the authors of the Gospels fell into\nthe mistake of treating as the name of an individual what in fact was a\ntitle of office.",
"\n\n(M324) Thus the hypothesis which, with great diffidence, I would put\nforward for consideration is this. ",
"It was customary, we may suppose, with\nthe Jews at Purim, or perhaps occasionally at Passover, to employ two\nprisoners to act the parts respectively of Haman and Mordecai in the\npassion-play which formed a central feature of the festival. ",
"Both men\nparaded for a short time in the insignia of royalty, but their fates were\ndifferent; for while at the end of the performance the one who played\nHaman was hanged or crucified, the one who personated Mordecai and bore in\npopular parlance the title of Barabbas was allowed to go free. ",
"Pilate,\nperceiving the trumpery nature of the charges brought against Jesus, tried\nto persuade the Jews to let him play the part of Barabbas, which would\nhave saved his life; but the merciful attempt failed and Jesus perished on\nthe cross in the character of Haman. ",
"The description of his last triumphal\nride into Jerusalem reads almost like an echo of that brilliant progress\nthrough the streets of Susa which Haman aspired to and Mordecai\naccomplished; and the account of the raid which he immediately afterwards\nmade upon the stalls of the hucksters and money-changers in the temple,\nmay raise a question whether we have not here a trace of those arbitrary\nrights over property which it has been customary on such occasions to\naccord to the temporary king.(933)\n\n(M325) If it be asked why one of these temporary kings should bear the\nremarkable title of Barabbas or \"Son of the Father,\" I can only surmise\nthat the title may perhaps be a relic of the time when the real king, the\ndeified man, used to redeem his own life by deputing his son to reign for\na short time and to die in his stead. ",
"We have seen that the custom of\nsacrificing the son for the father was common, if not universal, among\nSemitic peoples; and if we are right in our interpretation of the\nPassover, that festival--the traditional date of the crucifixion--was the\nvery season when the dreadful sacrifice of the first-born was\nconsummated.(934) Hence Barabbas or the \"Son of the Father\" would be a\nnatural enough title for the man or child who reigned and died as a\nsubstitute for his royal sire. ",
"Even in later times, when the father\nprovided a less precious substitute than his own offspring, it would be\nquite in accordance with the formal conservatism of religion that the old\ntitle should be retained after it had ceased to be appropriate; indeed the\nefficacy of the sacrifice might be thought to require and justify the\npious fiction that the substitute was the very son of that divine father\nwho should have died, but who preferred to live, for the good of his\npeople. ",
"If in the time of Christ, as I have conjectured, the title of\nBarabbas or Son of the Father was bestowed on the Mordecai, the mock king\nwho lived, rather than on the Haman, the mock king who died at the\nfestival, this distinction can hardly have been original; for at first, we\nmay suppose, the same man served in both capacities at different times, as\nthe Mordecai of one year and the Haman of the next. ",
"The two characters, as\nI have attempted to shew, are probably nothing but two different aspects\nof the same deity considered at one time as dead and at another as risen;\nhence the human being who personated the risen god would in due time,\nafter he had enjoyed his divine honours for a season, act the dead god by\ndying in good earnest in his own person; for it would be unreasonable to\nexpect of the ordinary man-god that he should play the two parts in the\nreverse order by dying first and coming to life afterwards. ",
"In both parts\nthe substitute would still be, whether in sober fact or in pious fiction,\nthe Barabbas or Son of that divine Father who generously gave his own son\nto die for the world.(935)\n\n(M326) To conclude this speculation, into which I have perhaps been led by\nthe interest and importance of the subject somewhat deeper than the\nevidence warrants, I venture to urge in its favour that it seems to shed\nfresh light on some of the causes which contributed to the remarkably\nrapid diffusion of Christianity in Asia Minor. ",
"We know from a famous\nletter of the younger Pliny addressed to the Emperor Trajan in the year\n112 A.D. that by the beginning of our era, less than a hundred years after\nthe Founder's death, Christianity had made such strides in Bithynia and\nPontus that not only cities but villages and rural districts were affected\nby it, and that multitudes of both sexes and of every age and every rank\nprofessed its tenets; indeed things had gone so far that the temples were\nalmost deserted, the sacred rites of the public religion discontinued, and\nhardly a purchaser could be found for the sacrificial victims.(936) It is\nobvious, therefore, that the new faith had elements in it which appealed\npowerfully to the Asiatic mind. ",
"What these elements were, the present\ninvestigation has perhaps to some extent disclosed. ",
"We have seen that the\nconception of the dying and risen god was no new one in these regions. ",
"All\nover Western Asia from time immemorial the mournful death and happy\nresurrection of a divine being appear to have been annually celebrated\nwith alternate rites of bitter lamentation and exultant joy; and through\nthe veil which mythic fancy has woven round this tragic figure we can\nstill detect the features of those great yearly changes in earth and sky\nwhich, under all distinctions of race and religion, must always touch the\nnatural human heart with alternate emotions of gladness and regret,\nbecause they exhibit on the vastest scale open to our observation the\nmysterious struggle between life and death. ",
"But man has not always been\nwilling to watch passively this momentous conflict; he has felt that he\nhas too great a stake in its issue to stand by with folded hands while it\nis being fought out; he has taken sides against the forces of death and\ndecay--has flung into the trembling scale all the weight of his puny\nperson, and has exulted in his fancied strength when the great balance has\nslowly inclined towards the side of life, little knowing that for all his\nstrenuous efforts he can as little stir that balance by a hair's-breadth\nas can the primrose on a mossy bank in spring or the dead leaf blown by\nthe chilly breath of autumn. ",
"Nowhere do these efforts, vain and pitiful,\nyet pathetic, appear to have been made more persistently and\nsystematically than in Western Asia. ",
"In name they varied from place to\nplace, but in substance they were all alike. ",
"A man, whom the fond\nimagination of his worshippers invested with the attributes of a god, gave\nhis life for the life of the world; after infusing from his own body a\nfresh current of vital energy into the stagnant veins of nature, he was\ncut off from among the living before his failing strength should initiate\na universal decay, and his place was taken by another who played, like all\nhis predecessors, the ever-recurring drama of the divine resurrection and\ndeath. ",
"Such a drama, if our interpretation of it is right, was the\noriginal story of Esther and Mordecai or, to give them their older names,\nof Ishtar and Marduk. ",
"It was played in Babylonia, and from Babylonia the\nreturning captives brought it to Judaea, where it was acted, rather as an\nhistorical than a mythical piece, by players who, having to die in grim\nearnest on a cross or gallows, were naturally drawn rather from the gaol\nthan the green-room. ",
"A chain of causes which, because we cannot follow\nthem, might in the loose language of daily life be called an accident,\ndetermined that the part of the dying god in this annual play should be\nthrust upon Jesus of Nazareth, whom the enemies he had made in high places\nby his outspoken strictures were resolved to put out of the way. ",
"They\nsucceeded in ridding themselves of the popular and troublesome preacher;\nbut the very step by which they fancied they had simultaneously stamped\nout his revolutionary doctrines contributed more than anything else they\ncould have done to scatter them broadcast not only over Judaea but over\nAsia; for it impressed upon what had been hitherto mainly an ethical\nmission the character of a divine revelation culminating in the passion\nand death of the incarnate Son of a heavenly Father. ",
"In this form the\nstory of the life and death of Jesus exerted an influence which it could\nnever have had if the great teacher had died, as is commonly supposed, the\ndeath of a vulgar malefactor. ",
"It shed round the cross on Calvary a halo of\ndivinity which multitudes saw and worshipped afar off; the blow struck on\nGolgotha set a thousand expectant strings vibrating in unison wherever men\nhad heard the old, old story of the dying and risen god. ",
"Every year, as\nanother spring bloomed and another autumn faded across the earth, the\nfield had been ploughed and sown and borne fruit of a kind till it\nreceived that seed which was destined to spring up and overshadow the\nworld. ",
"In the great army of martyrs who in many ages and in many lands,\nnot in Asia only, have died a cruel death in the character of gods, the\ndevout Christian will doubtless discern types and forerunners of the\ncoming Saviour--stars that heralded in the morning sky the advent of the\nSun of Righteousness--earthen vessels wherein it pleased the divine wisdom\nto set before hungering souls the bread of heaven. ",
"The sceptic, on the\nother hand, with equal confidence, will reduce Jesus of Nazareth to the\nlevel of a multitude of other victims of a barbarous superstition, and\nwill see in him no more than a moral teacher, whom the fortunate accident\nof his execution invested with the crown, not merely of a martyr, but of a\ngod. ",
"The divergence between these views is wide and deep. ",
"Which of them is\nthe truer and will in the end prevail? ",
"Time will decide the question of\nprevalence, if not of truth. ",
"Yet we would fain believe that in this and in\nall things the old maxim will hold good--_Magna est veritas et\npraevalebit._",

"It then disappears until the following year,\n except in some rare instances, when it is found for the same limited\n period in the following month after its first appearance. ",
"I kept\n records of the time, and of the state of the moon, for some years,\n with the following result: that it always appeared on two out of the\n following three days, viz. ",

"The shoals\n always made their appearance in the months of Anthesterion and\n Elaphebolion, and as the people of Apollonia (a city on the bank of\n the lake) celebrated their festival of the dead at that season,\n formerly in the month of Elaphebolion, but afterwards in the month\n of Anthesterion, they imagined that the fish came at that time on\n purpose.

"MU is the sign for 'year.' ",
"When put together ZAG-MU\n means 'beginning of year.' ",
"But ZAG-MU-KU means ZAG MU-d, _i.e._ ZAG\n with MU suffixed. ",
"Therefore it is the name of the ideogram, and\n there is as yet no _proof_ that it was ever read Zakmuk. ",
"Hence any\n similarity of sound with either Sacaea or Zoganes is precarious. ",
"I\n cannot prove that the signs were _never_ read Zakmuku, but that is\n not a Semitic word nor a Sumerian word.\"",

"\n\n M277 A difficulty in identifying the Sacaea with Zakmuk is that the two\n festivals seem to have been celebrated at different times of the\n year, Zakmuk falling in March and the Sacaea in July. ",

"Q:\n\nExpression Engine conditional statements not behaving as expected\n\nI'm really very new with expression engine, so bear with me:\nI have an exp:playa:parents call, and I need to set the category conditionally.",
"\nI have the following:\n {exp:playa:parents\n {if segment_4 == \"new_arrivals\"}\n {if segment_3 == \"furniture\"}\n category=\"57\"\n {/if}\n {if segment_3 == \"lighting\"}\n category=\"59\"\n {/if}\n {if segment_3 == \"accents\"}\n category=\"58\"\n {/if}\n {if:else}\n category=\"{segment_4_category_id}\"\n {/if}\n channel=\"products\"\n disable=\"categories|member_data\"\n dynamic=\"no\"\n limit=\"24\"\n paginate=\"bottom\"\n {if rev_segment_1 == \"all\"}limit=\"500\"{/if}\n }\n\nAs a programmer, the if/else logic seems... logical, but that doesn't seem to help the fact that the category doesn't seem to get set properly at all.",
"\nIs there a subtlety to conditional statements in EE that I am clearly not understanding? ",
" Am I approaching this the wrong way?",
"\nAny help would be so appreciated.",
"\nEdit:\nthe url that's failing: http://localhost/arcade/by/accents/new_arrivals\nthis page gets called in two places, and either that page output doesn't work (like it does with that else block in there) or the category doesn't get set properly here: http://localhost/damien_langlois_meurinne_for_pouenat/by/furniture/seating and it displays all the category types (not just seating) [this happens after removing the else block].",
"\nI've checked with the html comment method you mentioned, and all the data seems to be fine.",

"Strains are constructed in which the insertion of a single P transposable element has caused a new mutation, greatly simplifying the genetic and molecular analysis of the affected gene. ",
"Mutagenesis is initiated by crossing two strains, each of which contains a specially designed P element. ",
"One element (jumpstarter), encoding P element transposase, efficiently mobilizes the second nonautonomous transposon (mutator), whose structure facilitates selection and cloning of new insertion mutations. ",
"Random mutator transpositions are captured in individual stocks that no longer contain jumpstarter, where they remain stable. ",
"This method was used to construct 1300 single P element insertion stocks which were then screened for recessive mutations. ",
"A library of single-element insertion strains will allow the structure and function of Drosophila genes to be readily correlated, and should have many other applications in Drosophila molecular genetics."

"Targeted prophylaxis reduced the incidence of symptomatic CMV infection from 9.5% (in the earlier cohort that did not receive prophylaxis) to 5.8% (P = NS). ",
"Symptomatic infection was not observed in CMV-seropositive recipients of CMV-seropositive donor livers (P = 0.06 for comparison of the 2 cohorts), but the incidence of symptomatic infection in the CMV-seronegative recipients of CMV-seropositive organs did not change. ",
"However, symptomatic infection appeared to be less severe and was delayed by ganciclovir prophylaxis (median time from transplantation to symptom onset 96 vs. 39 days without prophylaxis). ",
"Death attributable to CMV infection was not observed in the cohort that received prophylaxis. ",
"The additional cost associated with implementation of the prophylaxis strategy was 108,068 pounds sterlings. ",

"Short-term observations in 14 consecutive patients with breast cancer.",
"\nThe effects of radiotherapy on lung function, ventilation/perfusion scans, and chest radiography were studied prospectively in 15 patients who underwent either modified radical mastectomy or tumorectomy, followed by radiotherapy for breast cancer. ",
"In all patients, pulmonary function studies, chest x-ray films, and lung scintigraphic studies were performed prior to and at the end of radiotherapy as well as three months later. ",
"No consistent or significant alteration in either parameter was detected. ",
"No patient developed clinical symptoms suggestive of radiation-induced lung changes, although in one of them, major radiologic features were found that were consistent with radiation pneumonitis; those changes disappeared completely in the course of the subsequent months. ",
"It is concluded that the tangential beam technique for postoperative irradiation as used in these patients is largely safe as regards pulmonary function, perfusion, and ventilation."

"Q:\n\nHow many certificates used when sign-encrypt-signing emails?",
"\n\nWould it be acceptable in a sign-encrypt-sign (email) setup to use the same certificate for both sign operations or should one opt for two separate certificates?",
"\nThe encrypt operation is performed using the intended recipients public certificate.",
"\nBest regards,\nBrian\n\nA:\n\nFirst, before directly answering your question, I need to talk about Sign-then-encrypt versus Encrypt-then-sign, that is a very common question with cryptography, and that is not so often correctly answered. ",
"I mean there is not a simple answer, the correct answer depends on the situation you encounter.",
"\nFirst, note that Encrypt-then-sign protects against attacks based on correlations between private key and encryption time, when there is a live exchange between two parties. ",
"This is because when decrypting before having checked a signature, a Man-in-the-Middle attacker can make you decrypt whatever he wants you to. ",
"Then, he can measure the delay for you to decrypt, because your response will come just after you have decrypted the content he had modified (the response will often be \"error\" since after having decrypted the cipher text, you will see that the content is not correctly signed). ",
"So, a major rule is never decrypt something before checking the signature, for protocols between two parties that have a live exchange. ",
"To prevent such timing-side channel attacks, P. Gutmann from University of Auckland proposed a drafted RFC, in late 2013. ",
"This RFC starts saying that: This document describes a means of negotiating the use of the encrypt-then-MAC security mechanism in place of TLS'/DTLS' existing MAC-then-encrypt one, which has been the subject of a number of security vulnerabilities over a period of many years.",
"\nNow, when you do asynchronous exchanges, like with PGP or S/MIME on top of SMTP, such a timing attack can not be done. ",
"So, you should prefer Sign-then-encrypt, for the other reasons explained by D.W. in the thread you talked about in a comment: https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/5458/should-we-sign-then-encrypt-or-encrypt-then-sign (this is mainly to avoid the cipher text to be signed by somebody else than the emitter).",
"\nSo, let's answer your question:\n\nWould it be acceptable in a sign-encrypt-sign (email) setup to use the same certificate for both sign operations or should one opt for two separate certificates? ",
"The encrypt operation is performed using the intended recipients public certificate.",
"\n\nYou say this is an email context. ",
"So no timing-side channel attacks should be possible. ",
"Therefore, you should only Sign-then-encrypt.",
"\nBut since you to want Sign-then-encrypt-then-sign, I think you want to avoid side channel attack for any other reason.",
"\nSo, using the same certificate (and private key) for both of the sign operations has no impact on the security level of your exchange: as you can understand, the last sign operation is used to be sure nobody will decrypt a modified content and measure a delay, and the first sign before crypt is here to check that the cipher text can not be signed by somebody not able to decrypt. ",
"Therefore, both of these operations are not linked, so using or not the same certificate for both operations does not change anything.",
"\n\n"

"\n\nPassing a single filename to a context menu shell command is simple:\n[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\*\\shell\\MyProgram\\Command]\n@=\"program.exe %1\"\n\nBut if I select multiple files, program.exe is invoked for each such selected file.",
"\nWhat I would like to do instead is invokeprogram.exe only once, passing to it all the filenames currently selected.",
"\nHow to do this?",
"\n\nA:\n\nYou can use Send To for this. ",
"It supports multiple files.",
"\nIn case this website goes offline:\nOpen shell:sendto with Windows + R or paste it into your explorer address bar. ",
"It should redirect you to:\nC:\\Users\\<yourusername>\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\SendTo\nCreate a shortcut to your program in this folder and you should see it in your explorer right-click menu under Send to\n\nA:\n\nYou may want to look at this post, as it says that this isn't really possible to pass multiple files to a single instance and you must rely on some form of IPC(Inter process Communication).",

"“OK, let’s do this,” said Poonam Basu to Clayton Farris. ",
"It’s the opening lines in “Our First Honest Conversation,” a one-act play in which an estranged couple attempts to reignite a sexual spark using only words.",
"\n\nBut this staging of the dramedy was different. ",
"Playwright Christine Hamilton-Schmidt had tweaked a few lines of the script — originally set within a single room — to take place on a video call. ",
"Because of the novel coronavirus, the man and woman in the story were sheltering in place separately and therefore even more desperate to reconnect.",
"\n\n“It’s still the same two characters with the same relationship problems,” director Victoria Pearlman told The Times. “",
"But the piece was slightly adjusted to speak to the immense change that’s happened in the last month, and the situation we’re all in.”",
"\n\nSkylight Theatre, a Los Angeles theater company that prioritizes social issues, unveiled the newly revised version online last week with the maximum 100 socially distanced viewers streaming the show live on Zoom. ",
"It kicked off weekly plays from its writers lab set amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and the series will continue until Skylight can open its doors again.",
"\n\n\nThe company has since switched to YouTube and Facebook to accommodate an unlimited number of viewers. ",
"Each piece is available live and on demand free of charge, and all cast and crew are volunteering.",
"\n\n“This is a really tough time, and we don’t know when it’s going to end,” said Gary Grossman, producing artistic director of Skylight Theatre. “",
"But actors need to act, writers need to write, directors need to direct, and theaters need to keep doing what we do. ",
"This is about staying in touch with our community and saying, ‘We’re gonna be together again soon.’",
"\n\nThese quarantine-set scripts aren’t as depressing as the real-life situations that have inspired them. “",
"Benton Way,” streaming Thursday at 3 p.m., follows two businessmen (played by Adam Ballard and Adam Lebowitz-Lockard) who catch each other’s eye during a company conference call. ",
"Since they can’t get to know each other in person, they try to do so in isolation.",
"\n\n\n“It’s almost like falling in love with someone over written letters, the way people did in the 19th century,” said Tony Abatemarco, Skylight’s co-artistic director, who wrote the romantic comedy with Michael Kearns. ",
"He found it therapeutic to develop characters who are as concerned about the pandemic and practicing social distancing as he is.",
"\n\n“All of the factual developments, day by day, are already present in every conversation I have,” said Abatemarco. “",
"But there’s a desire to keep normalcy in place, to share a joke or a funny observation of being trapped in the house for weeks.”",
"\n\nLikewise, playwrights participating in 24 Hour Plays’ “Viral Monologues” series — which uploaded its latest batch of soliloquies to Instagram on Tuesday — are setting their texts amid the spread of the coronavirus, explicitly or otherwise, even though no one was asked to do so. (",
"Methuen Drama will publish these writings as a book, edited by Howard Sherman, who inspired the solo series.)",
"\n\n“The playwrights are never given any kind of specific prompt, but since our work is being seen the same day it’s being created, it usually can’t help but be about whatever is happening in the world because it’s already on everybody’s mind,” said artistic director Mark Armstrong, referring to previous 24 Hour Plays events with pieces about the Sept. 11 attacks, Hurricane Sandy and the 2016 presidential election.",
"\n\n\nPandemic-set plays were bound to happen sooner or later, and it’s so close to home. ",
"Numerous members of the theater community have tested positive for the coronavirus , including Tom Hanks, Aaron Tveit, Daniel Dae Kim, Laura Bell Bundy and Brian Stokes Mitchell. ",
"The disease took the lives of Terrence McNally and Adam Schlesinger.",
"\n\n“In the few weeks we’ve been doing this, it has moved from an abstraction of numbers to actual people who have it, who are struggling and who have passed away,” he explained. “",
"Some plays are about it directly, or in an oblique way. ",
"Others don’t even mention it — the moment we’re in is just an element in the room, and the fact that they’re performed in isolation creates that sense of aloneness that many of us have right now.”",
"\n\nA few playwrights have turned to humor. ",
"Mario Correa had Derrick Baskin attempt to bluntly woo back an ex, and Harrison David Rivers, who had Russell G. Jones demonstrate how best to steal toilet paper rolls.",
"\n\nBut the global situation has become a personal one for Will Arbery. ",
"The “Heroes of the Fourth Turning” playwright, who has had asthma all his life and inherited the condition from his father, wrote a piece about a parent trying to console a child struggling to breathe in the middle of the night.",
"\n\n“I had been hunkering down for a week in panic and anxiety and despair, about breath and how frail our human bodies actually are,” Arbery told The Times from Brooklyn.",
"\n\n\n“I’ve since pulled myself out of that dark place and am trying to find opportunities for hope. ",
"This felt like a way to tap into some of what I was feeling, and hopefully reach people who were feeling the same things and help them feel less alone.”",
"\n\nMichael Shannon performed the intimate seven-minute monologue to his character’s off-screen kin, the camera positioned to shoot upward as if the viewer were sitting with them both.",
"\n\nThough the coronavirus has halted nearly the entire theater industry, it’s also inspiring some of its artists. “",
"Theater is so up in the air right now, we don’t know what next season will look like, or what will happen to all the shows that were postponed because of it,” Arbery said.",
"\n\n“I guess it’s just a compulsion — I can’t help but try to make something beautiful out of what’s going on.”"

"Which of these countries has the most prisoners per head of population? ",
"Sudan, Syria, China, Burma, Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwe, or England and Wales? ",
"We win, or rather lose: I have ranked these countries in reverse order. ",
"On this measure, England and Wales have a more punitive judicial system than most of the world's dictatorships.",
"\n\nOn Friday, the government released new figures for the prison population. ",
"It broke all records, yet again. ",
"It has risen by 38% since Labour came to power, and now stands at 83,181. ",
"What does the government intend to do about it? ",
"Lock more people up. ",
"It is building enough new cells to jail 96,000 people by 2014. ",
"At the beginning of this month it laid out its plans for titan prisons: vast broiler units, which will each house 2,500 people. ",
"But they'll be only just big enough: the government expects the number of cons to rise to 95,600 in six years.",
"\n\nAs ever, Britain appears to be chasing the United States. ",
"In both absolute and relative terms, the US's prison population is the highest on earth: 1% of its adult population is behind bars. ",
"This is five times our preposterous rate and six times Turkey's. ",
"It is over twice the rate of the nearest contender, South Africa. ",
"If you count the people under community supervision or on probation, the total rises to more than 7 million, or 3.1% of the adult population (all references are on my website). ",
"Black men who failed to complete high school in the US have a 60% chance of ending up in jail. ",
"I feel I need to say that again: 60% of unqualified African-American men go to prison. ",
"It's beginning to look as if the state has stopped imprisoning individuals and started locking up a social class. ",
"Is this what we aspire to?",
"\n\nTo judge by the remonstrations of the tabloids, the answer is yes. ",
"But why? ",
"And why, in the United Kingdom, is imprisonment still rising? ",
"It's not because of rising crime. ",
"Last year crimes recorded by the police fell by 2%, while the most serious violent offences fell by 9%. ",
"Nor does it reflect the conviction rate. ",
"That fell by 4% in 2006 (we don't yet have last year's figures). ",
"Stranger still, it is not connected to the rate of imprisonment either, which fell by 9% between 2004 and 2006.",
"\n\nThe prison population is rising for one reason: people are being put away for longer. ",
"Between 1997 and 2004, the average sentence rose from 15.7 months to 16.1. ",
"That tells only half the story: the actual time served rose as well, as a result of new laws the government introduced in 1998 and 2003. ",
"In 2004 the courts started handing down indeterminate sentences - prison terms without fixed limits. ",
"These will be partly responsible for the projected growth in imprisonment over the next six years.",
"\n\nThis exposes a remarkable contradiction in government policy. ",
"At the beginning of last year, the criminal justice ministers sent a begging letter to the courts asking them not to bang so many people up, as the prisons were bursting. ",
"But they are bursting because of the mandatory life terms, indeterminate sentences and other stern measures policy has forced the judges to pass. ",
"In 2002, England and Wales had more lifers (5,268) than the rest of the European Union put together (5,046). ",
"I can't find a more recent comparison, and since the accession of the former communist states this is bound to have changed. ",
"But it gives you a rough idea of how weird this country is.",
"\n\nSo why, when the number of crimes - especially serious violent crimes - is falling, are both the government and the courts imposing longer sentences? ",
"Why does the UK consistently rank in the top two places for imprisonment in western Europe? ",
"Why, as this country becomes more peaceable, does it become more punitive? ",
"I don't know. ",
"Nor, it seems, does anyone else. ",
"But one thing I've noticed is that many of the states with the highest number of convicts are also those with the greatest differential between rich and poor. ",
"Within the OECD nations, the US has the second highest rate of inequality. ",
"Mexico, which is the most unequal, has the third-highest rate of imprisonment. ",
"In the EU, four of the five most unequal nations also rank among the top five jailers. ",
"The correlation, though by no means exact, seems to apply across many of the rich countries.",
"\n\nThis doesn't demonstrate a causal relationship. ",
"But there are three likely connections. ",
"The first is that inequality causes crime. ",
"This is what Anatole France referred to when he claimed to admire \"the majestic egalitarianism of the law, which forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread\". ",
"But, while this has proved true at most times and in most places, crime is falling in England and Wales while inequality is rising.",
"\n\nThe second possible link is that prison causes inequality. ",
"The sociologist Bruce Western has shown that jail in the United States is a huge and hidden cause of deprivation. ",
"When people are locked up, they can't acquire the skills and social contacts they need to get on outside. ",
"Employers are reluctant to take them on when they've been released, and they tend to be hired by the day or to get stuck in the casual economy, which is one of the reasons why so many return to crime. ",
"Among whites and Hispanics, wages for ex-cons are severely depressed. ",
"Among black people the effect is less marked: the \"stigma of imprisonment\", Western suggests, appears to have stuck to the entire black underclass.",
"\n\nHis groundbreaking research shows that US labour figures, which appeared to prove that the rising tide of the 1990s lifted all boats, were hopelessly skewed. ",
"The government's claim that the boom had enhanced everyone's job prospects - even those at the bottom of the heap - turns out to be an artefact of rising imprisonment: convicts aren't counted in household surveys. ",
"Western found that while general unemployment fell sharply in the 1990s, when prisoners were included, the rate among unqualified young black men rose to its highest level ever: a gobsmacking 65%.",
"\n\nThe third possible reason for a link between the two factors is that inequality causes imprisonment. ",
"I can't prove this, and it is hard to see how anyone could do so. ",
"But my untested hypothesis runs as follows: the greater the wealth accrued by the top echelons, the more ferociously they demand protection from the rest of society. ",
"They have more to lose from crime and less to lose from punishment, which is less likely to strike the richer you become.",
"\n\nThe people who help to generate the public demand for long prison terms (newspaper proprietors and editors) and the people who mete it out (judges and magistrates) are drawn overwhelmingly from the property-owning classes. \"",
"Those who have built large fortunes,\" Max Hastings, who was once the editor of the Daily Telegraph, wrote of his former employer Conrad Black, \"seldom lose their nervousness that some ill-wisher will find means to take their money away from them.\"",
"\n\nMoney breeds paranoia, and paranoia keeps people in prison.",

"\n\nHOW THE SECURITY BREACH UNFOLDED\n\nThe male suspect scaled the White House’s South Grounds fence at 11:38pm on Friday, and uniformed officers arrested him, the Secret Service said in a statement.",

"Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 11, 2017\n\nMr Trump was not in any danger during the incident, CNN reported, citing an unnamed source.",
"\n\nA 2014 intrusion at the White House prompted the resignation of Secret Service director Julia Pierson and a series of recommendations to tighten security. ",
"In 2015, a row of sharp spikes was bolted to the top of the black iron fence surrounding the property.",
"\n\nIn the latest incident, the suspect was apprehended near the south portico entrance, where presidents often address the public, CNN said. ",
"The entrance is near the part of the White House where the president resides.",
"\n\nPolice did not immediately identify the suspect but Martin Mulholland, a spokesman for the Secret Service, said he had no arrest record or history with the agency, which is charged with protecting the president, his family and other elected officials.",
"\n\nThe backpack carried by the intruder was screened and searched as a precaution, and no hazardous material was found, according the statement. ",
"The Secret Service searched the north and south grounds but nothing of concern turned up. ",
"Neither the Secret Service nor the White House responded immediately to a request for further details.",
"\n\nThe most serious of the recent security incidents at the White House occurred in September 2014, when an Army veteran carrying a knife climbed the fence and pushed his way inside the building before he was stopped.",
"\n\nAnother man wearing an American flag jumped the fence in November 2015. ",
"In April 2016, an intruder threw a backpack over the outer fence and then scaled it before getting arrested.",
"\n\nThe Secret Service and National Park Service have been working on a new fence design and other upgrades.",
"\n\nThe security breach comes as the Trump administration finally opened the White House up to the public last week, almost two months after Mr Trump became president.",
"\n\nAs for the President himself, he was seemingly unbothered by the security breaching, tweeting early on Saturday morning commending his party on making “great progress” on health care reforms.",
"\n\n“We are making great progress with healthcare. ",
"ObamaCare is imploding and will only get worse. ",
"Republicans coming together to get job done!” ",

"\n\nBHARARA ‘FIRED’\n\nDefiant Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara was fired in a stunning reversal of a Trump administration promise to keep the corruption-busting prosecutor on board, nypost.com reports.",

"Moments ago I was fired. ",
"Being the US Attorney in SDNY will forever be the greatest honor of my professional life. — ",
"Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) March 11, 2017\n\nThat’s because President Trump, shortly after his election, had asked Bharara — the crusading US Attorney for the Southern District of New York who has been a stalwart against public corruption — to stay on board.",
"\n\nBharara refused to resign, forcing the Trump administration to go back on the president’s pledge to keep him in his job.",
"\n\nEven Republicans were dumbfounded by the announcement that Sessions had included Bharara on the list of US Attorneys ordered to hand in their resignations.",
"\n\nHEALTH CARE BILL\n\nAs Mr Trump stayed in Washington, he dispatched his top lieutenant, Vice President Mike Pence, to the southern state of Kentucky to make a pitch for the Republican party’s new health care bill.",
"\n\n“Here are the heartbreaking facts: today, Americans are paying US$3000 (A$4000) more a year on average for health insurance than the day Obamacare was signed into law,” Mr Pence told a crowd in the city of Louisville.",
"\n\nJust landed in Louisville where we will bring this message with @GovMattBevin to the Bluegrass State. ",
"https://t.co/8QI3f3zj60 — Vice President Pence (@VP) March 11, 2017\n\nHosting a listening session with KY's small businesses & job creators at @HarshawTrane to discuss the challenges they face due to Obamacare. ",
"pic.twitter.com/3Za90pm7sy — Vice President Pence (@VP) March 11, 2017\n\nSince the day we were elected, our top priority has been to repeal Obamacare and replace it with something that actually works. — ",
"Vice President Pence (@VP) March 11, 2017\n\nObamacare has failed the people of Kentucky and America—and Obamacare must go. — ",
"Vice President Pence (@VP) March 11, 2017\n\n“Last year alone, premiums spiked by 25 per cent and millions of Americans have lost their health insurance plans and lost their doctors,” Mr Pence said, touting the Republican reform plan, unveiled last Monday, as the solution.",
"\n\n“We’re going to give Americans more choices. ",
"We’ll expand health savings accounts,” Mr Pence declared.",
"\n\n“Under President Trump’s leadership, we’re actually also going to finally allow Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines — the way you buy life insurance, the way you buy car insurance.”",
"\n\nBarack Obama’s signature health insurance reform bill was the crowning domestic achievement of his presidency.",
"\n\nBut like much of the rest of his legacy, it has come under attack from Mr Trump, who has made dismantling it one of his top goals.",
"\n\nRepublicans’ market-driven plan to replace it, however, has been roundly criticised by some members of their own party — especially in the US Senate — and also has been met with consternation from conservative pundits.",
"\n\n“The Republican health plan would make America’s economic chasm worse. ",
"It would cut health subsidies that go to the poor while eliminating the net investment income tax, which benefits only the top one per cent,” right-of-centre political columnist David Brooks wrote in the New York Times this week.",
"\n\nDemocrats were no less harsh in their assessment of the Republican health care reform plan.",
"\n\n“They’re calling it the American Health Care Act: the AHCA. ",
"But they should call it the BBBA: the Big Breaks for Billionaires Act,” said Congresswoman Cheri Bustos on Saturday.",
"\n\nIn their plan, which “takes coverage away from the people who need it the most, Washington Republicans found a way to give massive tax breaks to the CEOs of health insurance companies, as well as to America’s billionaires,” Bustos said.",
"\n\nMr Pence has been the chief salesman for Mr Trump’s push to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. ",
"The House is expected to vote on the bill in less than two weeks but faces fierce resistance from critics, including Senator Rand Paul who has called the initial draft “Obamacare Lite.”",
"\n\nSeveral influential conservative groups such as Heritage Action, FreedomWorks and the Club for Growth have also come out against the plan.",
"\n\nThanks to @HarshawTrane, KY small business owners, & @GovMattBevin for coming out to hear our message of repealing and replacing Obamacare. ",
"https://t.co/I49i59tNtG — Vice President Pence (@VP) March 11, 2017\n\nMr Pence suggested this week that the Trump administration was open to negotiating changes to the bill, telling Fox News’ Bret Baier that the House legislation, which was introduced this week and was cleared by two committees, was simply the start of the process.",
"\n\nConservatives have urged the White House to halt the extra money Mr Obama’s law gives states to expand the federal-state Medicaid program for 70 million low-income people. ",
"The Republican bill would end that additional funding in 2020 except for those already in the program, but conservatives want to accelerate that to 2018 to save money.",
"\n\nIn Kentucky, Democrats have praised former Governor Steve Beshear’s use of the health care law to drive down the state’s uninsured rate and his smooth rollout of kynect, the state-run exchange, even while Obama struggled with the national release of healthcare.gov.",
"\n\nBut Mr Bevin, Mr Beshear’s successor, has warned that the state cannot afford to pay for its growing Medicaid program, which has cost the state millions more than initially expected and now covers more than 25 per cent of the state’s population. ",
"He has dismantled Kentucky’s state-based exchange but indicated he would not favour eliminating the federal health insurance exchange.",
"\n\nMr Bevin said late last week he would tell Mr Paul that “we support their effort to fix this problem,” but that he was not a fan of the initial proposal. ",
"The governor told reporters that Mr Paul “is not impressed with what has currently been offered. ",
"Truth be told, I’m not either. ",
"So I’m with him.”",
"\n\nMr Paul has been among the Senate’s foremost critics of the bill. ",
"Even before the legislation was released, he brought a copy machine outside of the room where House Republicans were drafting the bill and asked for a copy, all to draw attention to the secrecy of the plan.",
"\n\nMr Trump, who faced Mr Paul in the Republican presidential primaries last year, made a pitch for persuasion on Twitter, writing that he was sure Mr Paul would “come along with the new and great health care program.”",
"\n\nThe event at the Harshaw Trane facility is in the hometown of Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, who was not attending due to a scheduling conflict."

"Field of the Invention\nThis invention relates to a locker type merchandise delivering system for reliably delivering merchandise ordered by a customer to the customer by utilizing a non-store retailing site such as electronic shopping.",
"\nAs personal computers and hand-held terminals have become wide spread, demands have been increasing drastically for non-store retailing services by directly exchanging information between customers and sellers through the Internet, or the like.",
"\nThe non-store retailing services require a delivering method that replaces a method that directly hands the merchandise to the customer in the shop in addition to a settling method that replaces a conventional settling method by which the seller receives the charge from the customer in the shop.",
"\n2. ",
"Description of the Related Art\nIn the conventional non-store retailing service, the customer connects a personal computer to the Internet, gains access to the home page of a seller, exchanges necessary information and orders merchandise.",
"\nReceiving the order of the merchandise, the seller requests a delivering company to package and to deliver the merchandise to the customer\"\"s house. ",
"Also, the delivering company can deliver the merchandise to a convenience store designated by the customer, and the customer can come to the convenience store and pick up the merchandise. ",
"Convenience of the customer is thus insured as the merchandise is delivered to the customer\"\"s house or to the convenience store nearby.",
"\nTo settle the charge of the merchandise delivered to the customer, the delivering company or the convenience store collects the charge on the cash-on-delivery basis, by making a withdrawal through a credit card, transferring to postal or bank account.",
"\nFor example, when the merchandise is delivered to the customer\"\"s house, the customer needs to be at home in order to have the merchandise delivered. ",
"And when postal transfer is used to settle the charge, the customer has to go to the post office or to the bank to transfer the money. ",
"Great limitation of time is imposed on the customer by using conventional ways. ",
"Also, in order to deliver the merchandise to the customer\"\"s house, the delivering company has to know personal information of the customer such as the address and the telephone number. ",
"Since such personal information is handed over from the seller to the delivering company, personal information cannot always be protected sufficiently.",
"\nWhen delivery of the merchandise and settlement of the charge are made in the convenience store, the limitation of the time can be eliminated on the contrary to the case described above. ",
"However, there is the possibility that privacy of the customer cannot be protected sufficiently.",
"\nOn the other hand, when the settling method utilizing the credit card is employed, the limitation of time imposed on the customer becomes small because the customer need not go to the bank. ",
"However, since the credit card number is transmitted through the network, a great problem exists in the aspect of security. ",
"In addition, the problem of delivery of the merchandise yet remains unsolved in the same way as in the two methods described above.",
"\nA service that uses a door-to-door delivery box comprising a plurality of home delivery lockers and installed as receive-only boxes in an apartment house has been materialized as a technology for solving a part of the problem of delivery of the merchandise (Japanese Patent Publication No. ",
"2,834,754 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. ",
"64-49505 and 9-282531).",
"\nThis technology gives importance to reliable stipulation of the person who receives the merchandise. ",
"The party to which the merchandise is delivered is limited to only the person who is in advance registered to a sales management center, such as a resident in an apartment house having the home delivery lockers.",
"\nSimilarly, Japanese Patent Publication No. ",
"7-11806 discloses a technology for delivering the merchandise by utilizing delivery lockers. ",
"According to this technology, when a proper customer utilizing the non-store retailing service through the network conducts a suitable operation for an article delivering equipment installed in a place where people gather and verifies his identification for receiving the merchandise, the customer can receive the merchandise.",
"\nThis technology can mitigate much more greatly the limitation imposed on the customer than the home delivery lockers installed in the apartment houses because the article delivering equipment is installed at the place where the customers gather. ",
"However, verification of identification for receiving the merchandise is based on the premise that the customer can clearly verify identity of himself. ",
"Therefore, to receive the non-store retailing service applying this technology, the customer must register in advance the personal identification number, etc, in the same way as in the above service using the home delivery lockers.",
"\nIt is an object of the invention to provide a locker type merchandise delivering system capable of safely settling the charge of merchandise and delivering merchandise for indefinite customers while protecting privacy of the customers.",
"\nIt is another object of the invention to make it possible to receive orders of merchandise to meet with demands from indefinite customers and set a delivery site, and to settle the charge and deliver the merchandise, without relying at all on manual work, to improve convenience of the customers and to firmly protect privacy of the customers.",
"\nIt is a further object of the invention to accomplish a service that relieves customers from limitation of time and place imposed on the customer to deliver the merchandise and to settle the charge of the merchandise.",
"\nThe objects described above can be accomplished by a locker type merchandise delivering system including a plurality of merchandise delivering equipment each being constituted by integrating together a plurality of lockers capable of being locked, a settling unit for settling charge of a merchandise, and a door controlling unit for controlling opening and closing of a door provided to each of the lockers, and said plurality of merchandise delivery equipment installed at public sites such as a train station where unspecified persons can freely enter and leave, the system comprising: an order receiving unit for receiving designation of a place and time at an which a customer desires to receive the merchandise, when ordering the merchandise; an order entry controlling unit for generating an ordering code for specifying the order of the merchandise, and for managing the ordering information relating to the designated place and time on the basis of the ordering code; an sending unit for sending the ordering code to the customer, wherein the settling unit includes: an ordering code inputting unit for accepting the entry of the ordering code; an ordering information inputting unit for receiving, from the order entry controlling unit, ordering information corresponding to the ordering code inputted; an accepting unit for accepting the charge of the merchandise on the basis of the ordering information; and a code notifying unit for notifying to the door controlling unit a release code for unlocking the door of an appropriate locker in response to the acceptance of the charge, and wherein the door controlling unit includes: a code receiving unit for generating a release instruction in response to the reception of the release code, by designating a corresponding locker; and a release unit for releasing the lock built into the door of the corresponding locker in accordance with the release instruction.",
"\nSuch a locker type merchandise delivering system can accept the order of merchandise in accordance with the request from an unspecified customer, can set the delivery place, and can settle the charge of the merchandise and deliver the merchandise without relying at all on the manual work.",
"\nThe objects described above can be accomplished also by a locker type merchandise delivering system including a plurality of merchandise delivering equipment each being constituted by integrating together and arranging adjacent to one another a plurality of lockers capable of being locked, a settling unit for settling charge of a merchandise, and a door controlling unit for controlling opening and closing of a door provided to each of the lockers, and installed at public sites such as a train station where unspecified persons can freely enter and leave, the system comprising order receiving unit for receiving designation of a place and time at which a customer desires to receive the merchandise, when ordering the merchandise; an order entry controlling unit for managing ordering information relating to the merchandise and its delivering place on the basis of an ordering code generated in accordance with ordering of the merchandise, and a sending unit for sending the ordering code to the customer; wherein the settling unit includes the ordering code inputting unit for accepting the entry of the ordering code; an ordering information inputting unit for receiving ordering information corresponding to the inputted ordering code from the order entry controlling unit; an accepting unit for accepting the charge of the merchandise on the basis of the ordering information; a code outputting unit for outputting a predetermined recording medium recording settling information inclusive of the combination of a release code for unlocking the door of an appropriate locker with the ordering code in response to the acceptance of the charge; and a code notifying unit for notifying the release code corresponding to the ordering code to the door controlling unit; and wherein the door controlling unit includes a reading unit for reading the settling information recorded to the recording medium; a code receiving unit for receiving the release code corresponding to the ordering code; a comparing unit for comparing the release code received by the code receiving unit with the release code contained in the settling information, and generating a release instruction when they coincide with each other, by designating a corresponding locker; and a release unit for releasing the lock built in to the door of the corresponding locker in accordance with the release instruction.",
"\nSuch a locker type merchandise delivering system can accept the order of the merchandise in accordance with the request from an unspecified customer, and can settle the charge of the merchandise and deliver the merchandise without relying at all on one\"\"s hand. ",
"Furthermore, this locker type merchandise delivering system can reliably deliver the merchandise accommodated in the locker to the customer who appropriately settles the charge irrespective of the distance between the settling unit and the locker. ",
"It is therefore possible, for example, to space apart the settling unit and the lockers or to manage a large number of lockers by one settling unit.",
"\nThe objects described above can be accomplished also by the locker type merchandise delivering system described above wherein the sending unit includes an uplinking unit for notifying the ordering code to the destination represented by identification information for specifying a customer ordering the merchandise, and an acquiring unit for acquiring a response to the notification and notifying the response to an order entry controlling unit.",
"\nThis locker type merchandise delivering system confirms the identification information the customer inputs at the time of ordering, and can use this information when the order entry controlling unit controls the ordering information. ",
"Therefore, this system can suppress the loss resulting from an invalid order not supported by the identification information.",
"\nThe objects described above can be further accomplished by the locker type merchandise delivering system described above wherein the door controlling unit includes a merchandise information storing unit for storing merchandise information for specifying a merchandise to be accommodated in the locker and the ordering code so that they correspond to each locker; a merchandise information inputting unit for receiving the ordering code and the merchandise information prior to the accommodation of the merchandise into the locker; and a retrieving unit for retrieving ordering code and merchandise information coincident with the inputted ordering code and with the merchandise information, from the merchandise information storing unit, and for inputting a release instruction instructing the release unit to release the lock, by designating the corresponding locker.",
"\nThe locker type merchandise delivering system described above can accommodate merchandise that is coincident with the merchandise information designated by the ordering code when the distributing party accommodates the merchandise into the locker, and can therefore prevent delivery mistakes.",
"\nThe objects described above can be further accomplished by the locker type merchandise delivering system described above wherein the door controlling unit comprises: a code acquiring unit for acquiring the ordering code corresponding to the merchandise when the merchandise is accommodated in the locker; a distribution detecting unit for detecting completion of distribution of the merchandise into the locker; and a distribution notifying unit for notifying a message representing completion of distribution of the merchandise corresponding to the ordering code to the order entry controlling unit when the distribution detecting unit detects completion of distribution of the merchandise.",
"\nSince the locker type merchandise delivering system can notify the distribution completion message for the corresponding ordering code to the order entry controlling unit, this system can accomplish services utilizing the information on the distribution of merchandise, such as a service that notifies completion of the distribution of the merchandise to the customer.",
"\nThe objects described above can be further accomplished by the locker type merchandise delivering system described above wherein the door controlling unit 120 comprises: a delivery detecting unit for detecting completion of delivery of the merchandise; and a delivery notifying unit for sending a message representing completion of delivery of the merchandise corresponding to the ordering code to the order entry controlling unit when the delivery detecting unit detects completion of delivery of the merchandise.",
"\nThe locker type merchandise delivering system described above detects completion of the delivery of the merchandise and notifies completion to the order entry controlling unit. ",
"Therefore, this system can accomplish services utilizing the information relating to the delivery of the merchandise.",
"\nThe objects described above can be accomplished by the locker type merchandise delivering system described above wherein the code outputting unit comprises: a code generating unit for generating a release code in response to completion of acceptance of the charge by the accepting unit and putting the release code under a notifying process by the code notifying unit; and a recording unit for recording the release code on a predetermined recording medium.",
"\nThe locker type merchandise delivering system can greatly lower the danger of the leakage of the release code before the customer picks up the merchandise, and can therefore improve reliability of the system.",
"\nThe objects described above can be further accomplished by the locker type merchandise delivering system described above wherein the ordering code inputting unit comprises: a data inputting unit provided to automatic ticket-vending machine, for inputting a predetermined instruction code and the ordering code together with data necessary for purchasing a ticket; and a data entering unit for receiving the predetermined instruction code and the ordering code inputted by the data inputting unit; wherein the accepting unit includes a money accepting unit provided to automatic ticket-vending machine, for accepting and recovering the money put in by the customer; and a money receiving unit for receiving the money received by the money accepting unit as the charge of the merchandise corresponding to the ordering code, in response to acceptance of the ordering code by the data entering unit, and wherein the code outputting unit includes a ticket-issuing unit provided to automatic ticket-vending machine, for recording the inputted information to a recording medium as a material of a ticket and then discharging the recording medium; and a record controlling unit for inputting settling information inclusive of a release code as information to be recorded to the recording medium to the ticket-issuing unit in response to receipt of the charge by the money receiving unit.",
"\nThe locker type merchandise delivering system described above can accomplish several functions of the settling unit by utilizing the corresponding functions of the automatic ticket-vending machine. ",
"Therefore, this locker type merchandise delivering system can suppress the increase of the cost due to expansion of services by the system, and can promote the wide-spreading of the locker type merchandise delivering system."

"Alerts In Effect\n\nContact Us\n\nExplore This Park\n\nMammals\n\nYellowstone is home to the largest concentration of mammals in the lower 48 states. ",
"In addition to having a diversity of small animals, Yellowstone is notable for its predator–prey complex of large mammals, including eight ungulate species (bighorn sheep, bison, elk, moose, mountain goats, mule deer, pronghorn, and white-tailed deer) and seven large predators (black bears, Canada lynx, coyotes, grizzly bears, mountain lions, wolverines, and wolves).",
"\n\nThe National Park Service’s goal is to maintain the ecological processes that sustain these mammals and their habitats while monitoring the changes taking place in their populations. ",
"Seasonal or migratory movements take many species across the park boundary where they are subject to different management policies and uses of land by humans.",
"\n\nUnderstanding the links between climate change and these drivers will be critical to informing the ecology and management of Yellowstone’s wildlife in the years to come.",
"\n\nQuick Facts\n\n67 different mammals live here, including many small mammals.",
"\n\nAs of 2016, an estimated 690 grizzly bears live in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.",
"\n\nBlack bears are common.",
"\n\nGray wolves were restored in 1995. ",
"As of January 2016, 99 live primarily in the park.",
"\n\nWolverine and lynx, which require large expanses of undisturbed habitat, live here.",
"\n\nUngulates (Order Artiodactyla)\n\nUngulates are hooved herbivores (plant-eaters), and there are two types: even-toed and odd-toed. ",
"All of the native ungulates found in Yellowstone are even-toed, while there is one odd-toed ungulate you may see in the park: horses.",
"\n\nA common deer on the East Coast, they are scarcely seen in Yellowstone.",
"\n\nRodents (Order Rodentia)\n\nRodents are a vital part of the ecosystems in Yellowstone, serving as a major food source for many of the park's predators. ",
"All rodents have a pair of incisors in their upper and lower jaws with a large gap between the incisors and the molars. ",
"The incisors continue to grow throughout their lives, so they continually wear them down through chewing."

"The restaurant operator also is planning to open a second location at the Yard in Fishers District.",
"\n\nPier 48 Fish House & Oyster Bar has signed a lease for 6,577-square-foot space connected to the 316-room Hyatt Place/Hyatt House hotel under construction along South Pennsylvania Street. ",
"The restaurant is scheduled to open in spring 2019.",
"\n\nThe seafood restaurant will occupy a ground-floor space at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania and Georgia streets and will have an exterior entrance at the corner and an interior entrance into the hotel lobby.",
"\n\nGary Perel, principal of Indianapolis-based ALO Property Group, which is handling leasing for the project, said Pier 48 is among four businesses that agreed to lease retail space in the hotel and the adjoining parking garage.",
"\n\nOther tenants will be a yet-to-named restaurant, a casual apparel shop and calzone restaurant Sauce on the Side.",
"\n\nPier 48 is a restaurant concept by Fred Knipscheer, CEO of Carmel-based FK Restaurant Group LLC. ",
"Knipscheer, a former National Hockey League player, was previously managing partner of Salt on Mass in Indianapolis and Prime 47 Steakhouse in Carmel.",

"The alley emerges across from Circle Centre mall on Meridian and across from Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Pennsylvania.",
"\n\nThe unnamed third restaurant is slated to lease a 1,500-square-foot space in the 382-space parking garage being built directly north of the hotel. ",

"After so many questions about the dress, the tiara, the cake, the flowers, walking down the aisle - and with whom – the now Duchess of Sussex faces the biggest one yet: What's next?",
"\n\n\"How do I use my position now – as a global figure – as a new princess – what can I do with that?\" ",
"said royal correspondent Roya Nikkhah.",
"\n\nShe points out that it was Meghan and Harry's mutual interest in giving back that first drew them to each other, so we should expect to see them blending their charitable interests following in the spirit of Princess Diana.",
"\n\n\"I think we're going to see her keep a lot of her own style – she's not going to give up all of her characteristics just because she married a prince,\" Nikkhah said.",
"\n\nWhen CBS News met Harry in Brazil back in 2012 he was still looking for love, and appreciated how hard it would be to find.",
"\n\nHe said that \"not at all\" does it live up the fairytale. \"",
"As any girl would ever tell you -- it's, it's sort of 'oh my god, he's a prince,\" Harry said in 2012.",
"\n\nSix years later, he's found and married the woman he thinks is up to the task -- able to endure the often-glaring spotlight.",

"Her daugther, Melissa MacKenzie, called them a \"true power couple.\"",
"\n\nWhile this newest royal will face countless pressures and protocols, there is one far-more important perk. \"",
"I suppose the biggest perk is that she married the love of her life,\" Nikkhah said.",

"Predictors of Help-Seeking Intentions in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom Veterans and Service Members.",
"\nDespite significant numbers of Afghanistan and Iraqi veterans and service members who report symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, the majority do not seek help for these problems. ",
"A better understanding of the help-seeking process might aid providers and administrators in outreach and provision of services for those who need them. ",
"Past research has shown several variables that influence an individual's help-seeking behavior: demographic variables, the nature and severity of a mental health problem, and psychological variables. ",
"The three goals of the study were to determine which variables predicted help-seeking intentions from various sources for a psychological problem, identify barriers to help seeking, and identify sources of help sought in the past year. ",
"All Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and service members registered with a Midwestern VA Healthcare System between 2001 and 2007 received a letter requesting participation in an Internet-based survey. ",
"Participants completed nine questionnaires regarding their current physical and psychological health, social support, self-efficacy, public and self-stigma, and barriers to seeking help for a psychological problem. ",
"In addition, patterns of help seeking from informal (i.e., partner/spouse, family, friends) and formal (i.e., physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, either from Veterans Affairs [VA] or the private sector) sources of help were examined. ",
"Results from the linear regression model including all formal and informal sources of help indicated a significant model fit with attitudes toward psychotherapy, social support, and current mental health status as significant coefficients. ",
"Of note, attitudes toward psychotherapy were a significant coefficient in all help-seeking models; stigma was a significant coefficient with formal and VA sources, and social support was found to be a significant predictor with informal sources. ",
"Documentation of a mental health problem on one's record was found to be a significant barrier to help seeking and participants indicated they would most likely seek help in the next year from their partner/spouse, family, or friends versus formal VA or non-VA sources. ",
"This is one of the first studies to examine attitudes toward psychotherapy as contributing to help-seeking intentions of veterans and service members and results provide strong support for inclusion of this variable in future studies in addition to social support and stigma. ",
"Limitations of the study are discussed as well as suggestions for future research. ",
"It is our hope that findings from this study may inform administrators and providers regarding assessment, outreach, and program development for our country's veterans and service members."

"\n\nAs the Bosnian Serb army commander during the 1992 to 1995 Bosnian war, Mladic is accused of orchestrating atrocities including the killing of 8,000 men and boys in Srebrenica - the worst massacre in Europe since the second world war.",

"\n\nAfter going in to private session to discuss Mladic's concerns about his health, the judge insisted that he abide by the court rules and ordered him to return to the war crimes tribunal to enter pleas on July 4.",
"\n\n\n\n\n\nMladic was arrested last week in a Serbian village and extradited by Serbia to The Netherlands on Tuesday to become the tribunal's biggest case.",
"\n\nHe is being held in the same prison as his old political master Radovan Karadzic, who is 18 months into his trial for much the same crimes.",

"Continued from Part 3\n\nOther than the BMT 4th Avenue Broadway Line (N, R, Q and now W trains) perhaps the majority of my subway rides for six decades have been on the Flushing Line, the #7 train, one of the few subways’ general east-west routes. ",
"I rode 4th Ave/Broadway when living in Bay Ridge (1957-1993) and the 7 when living in Flushing and then Little Neck since. ",
"Most of the 7 train (stops between Queensboro Plaza and 103rd/Corona Plaza) celebrates its centennial on Friday, April 21st, 2017, weeks after the Hell Gate Bridge, which transports freights, Amtrak and Metro-North trains between Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx, celebrated its first 100 years.",
"\n\nFrom its beginnings in June 1915 running one stop from Grand Central to Vernon/Jackson what has become known since then as the Flushing Line has been extended eight times: east to Hunters Point Avenue and Court Square (11/5/1916); Queensboro Plaza to 103rd Street (4/21/1917); 111th Street (10/13/1925); Willets Point Boulevard (5/7/1927); Main Street (1/2/1928) and west to 5th Avenue (3/22/1926); Times Square (3/14/1927) and Hudson Yards (9/13/2015). (",
"A tiled sign at the Hunters Point Avenue station says the line goes “to Astoria and Corona,” referring to the split at Queensboro Plaza that sends the BMT to Ditmars and the IRT to 103rd/Corona Plaza.)",
"\n\nIn November 2016, I walked the full length of Roosevelt Avenue under the Flushing Line to Main Street. ",
"I’ve also amassed several photos of the stations along Queens Boulevard over the years, and thus I can create a multipart FNY series on the #7 train, and what’s under it.",
"\n\nAs always, current and vintage photos of the Flushing Line are available at NYC Subways.",
"\n\nWe’re up to …\n\n103rd Street/Corona Plaza\n\nThis was the original terminal station of the Corona Line when it opened on April 21, 1917. ",
"It only became the Flushing Line when it was extended to Main Street on January 2nd, 1928. ",
"In between, it reached 111th Street in October 1925 and Willets Point Boulevard in May 1927.",
"\n\nThe original name of the 103rd/Corona Plaza station was Alburtis Avenue. ",
"My dependable table of Queens street name changes, assembled by the great Steve Morse (who I would like to meet one day) lists Alburtis Avenue as 104th Street, while maps I have of the area from 1908 and 1909 show 104th Street as Sycamore Avenue. ",
"So, 104th must have been known as Alburtis Avenue for only a short time.",
"\n\nThe name “Alburtis” is also a mystery. ",
"It’s a place name in Pennyslvania, a borough near the Allentown-Bethlehem area; apparently the name came from “Edward K. Alburtis, a civil engineer involved in the construction of the East Pennsylvania Branch of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway.” ",
"I doubt Queens’ Alburtis Avenue was named for him, but perhaps a local person with the same name. ",
"It’s academic now, as the renumbering to 104th Street took place in the 1920s, a few years after the station opened; still, the station kept the name for a few decades more.",
"\n\n104th Street, formerly Alburtis Avenue, looking north and south from the east and westbound station platforms. ",
"The two church spires in the distance in the northbound shot are Our Lady of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church (37th Avenue, 1900) and Emanuel German Lutheran Church (37th Drive; 1902). ",
"In the southbound shot, the large building on the left is PS 16.",
"\n\nA view of Corona Plaza from the eastbound platform. ",
"Auto traffic had the full run of the plaza, which was created when the elevated was built between 1915 and 1917, until just a few years ago, but it’s now a pedestrian-only plaza with tables and chairs during the warm months. ",
"The Walgreens drugstore used to be the Loew’s Plaza Theatre and operated until 2005. ",
"As of 2016, the Walgreens space was for rent.",
"\n\nFor many years now, Pollo Campero has been a Corona Plaza mainstay. ",
"The chicken chain, founded in El Salvador in 1971, has become South America’s largest fast food franchise, with 350 locations worldwide including 63 in the United States. ",
"This was the chain’s first foray into New York City.",
"\n\nFor a few years now the largest advertising sign at Corona Plaza has belonged to an oral surgeon. ",
"A fun way to spend an afternoon in Corona!",
"\n\nBefore the land between Elmhurst and Flushing was developed in the 1850′s, there were only a dozen families living in the area. ",
"From the highest point on a hill 108 feet above sea level, they could take in fantastic views of Long Island Sound and the isle of Manhattan and could even see clear to the Palisades of New Jersey. ",
"At the lowest point at Flushing Creek, they would bring their corn and wheat to be ground into flour at a grist mill. ",
"Farms here also grew cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, pumpkins, pears, peaches, apples and grapes, and raised pigs and cows.",
"\n\nGround was broken for the Flushing Railroad in 1853. ",
"This event would spark the transformation of the sleepy settlement into a bustling commercial, industrial and residential center. ",
"A real estate company was organized in Manhattan to create “West Flushing,” a name which wouldn’t last long. ",
"The West Flushing Land Company engineered the first of two major phases of development by selling houses on small plots carved out of former farmland.",
"\n\nWest Flushing’s second phase of development was the responsibility of Benjamin Hitchcock, who also developed Woodside at the same time. ",
"He bought 1,200 West Flushing lots in 1867 and sold them in 1870. ",
"He offered installment payments to his less wealthy customers, which was a novel idea at the time, and one which they found very attractive.",
"\n\nResident Thomas Waite Howard discovered that his town’s name was confusing to outsiders and even to the post office. ",
"In 1868, he petitioned the post office to change West Flushing’s name to ‘Corona’ as he felt that his neighborhood was the “crown jewel” of Long Island. ",
"The post office granted his request in 1872.",
"\n\nFor a closer look at Corona, check out its FNY page.",
"\n\nOn Sundays at least, Corona Plaza at National Street has become home to vendors of all types adjacent to the pedestrian mall. ",
"I like an ear of sweet roast corn, but alas, I had just recently had lunch.",
"\n\nCorona Plaza is also home to one of New York City’s newer public rest rooms; there’s another one at Herald Square, 6th Avenue and West 35th Street. ",
"It comes in handy when I have had tours meet at Corona Plaza.",
"\n\nA look north on 103rd Street to the original branch building of Queens County Savings Bank, with its large illuminated billboard sign easily visible from passing #7 trains.",
"\n\nJust west of Corona Plaza, there’s a short street between 100th and 102nd Street (one block) just south of Roosevelt Avenue that’s interesting. ",
"It features tract housing and a bit of street art, but the interesting part is that it has a name, Spruce Street, instead of a number. ",
"This makes it a key that unlocks some of Corona’s past!",
"\n\nHere’s an excerpt from a 1908 map of Corona, before the streets were numbered. ",
"I’ve helpfully added the current course of Roosevelt Avenue and the Flushing Elevated, which came along beginning in 1915. ",
"There’s a large parallellogram of undeveloped ground in the middle. ",
"Then, as now, National Street diagonals through the middle. ",
"The small bit of Spruce Street I circled in red is still there today, complete with its old name.",
"\n\nAt Corona Plaza, Roosevelt Avenue took over the route of Grand Avenue and heads east. ",
"Grand Avenue was also the name of today’s National Street. ",
"After Queens streets were numbered, duplicate street names were also eliminated; there’s a Grand Avenue in Elmhurst and Maspeth, and there was one in Astoria (30th Avenue). ",
"Why National Street? ",
"That was a racetrack!",
"\n\nIn 1854 the National Racing Association, a group of Southern horse owners, built the National Racetrack in Corona. ",
"On June 26, 1854, the first race was run, coinciding with the official opening of the main line of the Flushing Railroad, which created a stop for the track. ",
"In 1856, the track opened for the season as the “Fashion Pleasure Ground,” named after the champion horse, Fashion. ",
"In 1858, the track hosted the first baseball game for which an admission fee was charged. ",
"In 1861, the owners transported their horses back down South to help the Confederacy during the Civil War, so northern horses took their place. ",
"In 1867, the racehorse Dexter broke the world’s trotting record for the 1-mile course at the Corona track. ",
"Ulysses S. Grant attended a race there shortly after becoming President-elect in 1868. ",
"The last race was in 1871 and the track was torn down soon after that, remembered only by National Streetafter the name was changed from Grand Avenue.",
"\n\nAlso of interest on the map is Linden Park. ",
"In the colonial era, there was a pond left over from a glacial retreat in which local farmers watered their cattle. ",
"As the village of Corona grew up around Linden Lake, a park was built around it and it was used for ice skating in winter and as the backdrop for band concerts in the summer. ",
"After it became mud and silt choked and contaminated the Parks Department filled it in in 1947. ",
"The familiar PS 16 is seen in the older picture. ",
"It’s now a public park called the Park of the Americas.",
"\n\nSome looks at the elevated east from Corona Plaza. ",
"You can see where the el does a slight eastern jog, covering what was then Grand Avenue but was renamed Roosevelt Avenue beginning in 1915.",
"\n\nIn 2004, I got a shot of a remaining small station ID sign on the eastbound platform. ",
"The sign was quickly removed by the MTA, which prefers to whitewash its signage history (much like the Department of Transportation), soon after I posted it on Forgotten NY.",
"\n\nBetween 108th and 111th Streets on the north side of Roosevelt there is a handsome row of attached brick buildings with polygonal bay windows. ",
"The porches appear as if they may have been added later. ",
"These buildings may well date to before the el was constructed in these parts in 1925 and Roosevelt Ave was still called Grand Avenue. ",
"The sign in the window is pretty old since George Pataki and Jim McGreevey, NY and NJ governors, have been out of office for years.",
"\n\n111th Street\n\nThe 111th Street platforms look different at this station than they do at the others, since the center express track is on a flyover elevated track, and another track branches off from the local eastbound to enter Corona Yards. ",
"When riding on the express on the flyover, look out the window for a long-range view of Queens.",
"\n\nAs I did in 2004, I photographed a leftover enamel station ID sign on one of the light stanchions. ",
"When I posted it on Forgotten NY, the MTA was made aware of its presence and removed it. ",
"Call me the Grim Reaper.",
"\n\nRoosevelt Avenue at 112th Street in the 1930s, showing bocce (Italian lawn bowling) courts in the foreground and houses on 39th Avenue in the back.",
"\n\nFood truck near the 111th Street station. ",
"Chimichurris is ground pork or beef which is sliced, grilled and served on a pan de agua (literally “water bread”) and garnished with chopped cabbage.",
"\n\nShuttered woodframe house near 111th Street.",
"\n\nFrancisco Munoz, who was 29 years old, was one of 358 employees of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. that were killed during the terrorist destruction the World Trade Center. ",
"The corner of Roosevelt and 11th was named for him by the NYC City Council in 2011.",
"\n\nEast of 114th Street, Roosevelt Avenue passes over the Grand Central Parkway, opened here in 1936; the parkway broke ground in 1931 and reached the Triboro Bridge 5 years later. ",
"What could be original railings on the Roosevelt Avenue overpass are still in place.",
"\n\nRoosevelt Avenue skirts the north end of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and runs between two stadiums (stadii?): ",
"on the south side, Arthur Ashe Stadium, opened in 1997, is home to the annual US Open tennis tournament held on the weeks surrounding Labor Day. ",
"It is accompanied by the new Louis Armstrong Stadium, opening in 2018 to replace the old Armstrong, formerly the Singer Bowl, home of the Open from 1978-1996.",
"\n\nOn the north side is the New York Mets’ home stadium, Citifield, opened in April 2009, replacing the Mets’ second home stadium, Shea Stadium (1964), which closed at the end of the 2008 season. ",
"The Mets have also played home games at the old Polo Grounds in upper Manhattan during the 1962 and 1963 seasons.",
"\n\nFew remnants of the old Shea Stadium remain, but the stadium’s Home Run Apple has been installed near the front entrance. ",
"It was first seen at Shea outside the center field fence in 1980, when the Mets had a “The Magic Is Back!” ",
"campaign, the top hat the traditional magician’s garb along with an apple for NYC, The Big Apple, a hopeful hark back to the 1969-1973 era when the team went to two improbable World Series, winning one. ",
"The real magic would not return until 1984, when Daryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden were called up and the team made the first of a number of acquisitions, bringing in Keith Hernandez from the Cardinals.",
"\n\nThe apple in the top hat would rise, like magic (actually someone in the press box hit a button) when a Met hit a home run. ",
"The tradition continues today with a new home run apple.",
"\n\nI’ve always paid attention to street lighting. ",
"Running past the stadiums, there’s a variety on Roosevelt Avenue: lighting is mounted inconspicuously on elevated train pillars crossing the Parkway and on short cylindrical posts painted brown once past it. ",
"One element I noticed way back in 1969 when I first started going to Shea Stadium is amazingly still in place: the only instance of a fire alarm bracket lamp mounted on an elevated train pillar, above the alarm itself. ",
"It hasn’t been serviced in a long time and is about to fall off.",
"\n\nThis wood sign under the Willets Point Boulevard station may be original from 1927, when the el arrived here. ",
"In any case it’s quite old indeed.",
"\n\nWillets Point Boulevard\n\nThis is one of the Flushing Line’s few express stations. ",
"During rush hours, a few trains terminate here instead of going one station east to the terminal at Main Street. ",
"This station opened in May 1927…\n\n… and when it opened, it was one of the only elements in what was still largely a wilderness, with just a gas station, car wash and scattered industries for company.",
"\n\nA look at 126th Street north from Roosevelt Avenue in the 1930s. ",
"Until 1939, the general area was home to ash heaps with just Roosevelt avenue and Northern Boulevard traversing them; they were made famous by F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby in which Gatsby and the Carraways drove on Northern Boulevard past the heaps, which were punctuated by gas stations and billboard ads. ",
"Robert Moses developed them into the 1939-40 World’s Fair, the subsequent 1964-65 Fair and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. ",
"photos: NY Public Library\n\nThe Go-Go Sixties, in which the world seemingly turned color, were distilled for the first time in 1964 during the World’s Fair, the new Shea Stadium, and new directions in entertainment and pop music such as the Beatles’ ascendance. ",
"New subway cars with a baby blue and white color scheme were introduced for the Fair, and Shea stadium originally featured differently-sized panels in the team colors of orange and blue on its exterior. (",
"When Fred Wilpon bought the team with partner Nelson Doubleday in 1980, off came the panels.)",
"\n\nWhen it opened in 1927, this station was called Willets Point Boulevard, for the road that runs diagonally northeast from Roosevelt Avenue at this point. ",
"Plans called for that road to be bridged over Flushing Creek and head northeast toward the actual Willets Point, which is in Fort Totten, where land was purchased by the US Government in 1857 from the Willets family. ",
"However the bridge was never built and Willets Point Boulevard now exists in two widely separated parts, one here and another in Whitestone.",
"\n\nOver time the area surrounding the station has come to be called Willets Point and the original, true Willets Point has been forgotten!",
"\n\nThe Iron Triangle\n\nDescribing the “Iron Triangle” other than “a place you would never go to otherwise than compelled to do so” would not be an overstatement. ",
"This small, smelly and noisy triangular neighborhood in Queens is home to warehouses, car repair and auto parts stores, and, they say, only one resident. ",
"In June 2008, I went this check out this fascinating neighborhood.",
"\n\nThe Iron Triangle might not mean anything to you unless you got your car fixed there. ",
"It is the nickname given to a neighborhood near Flushing and Corona, Queens, better known as Willets Point. ",
"It is bounded by Northern Boulevard to the north, 126th Street and Shea Stadium (in 2009, Citifield) to the west, Roosevelt Avenue to the south and the Flushing River to the east.",
"\n\nGOOGLE MAP: IRON TRIANGLE\n\nOver the past decades, this run-down 60-acre neighborhood has become home to car repair, auto parts stores and other larger businesses, including waste facilities and warehouses. ",
"An April 2006 Hunter College study called it “a unique regional destination for auto parts and repairs.” ",
"In all, an estimated 225 firms are established here and from 1,400 to 1,800 people work here, according to the study. –",
"Alexis Buisson, in Forgotten New York in 2008\n\nI walked the “Iron Triangle” again as part of my Roosevelt Avenue jaunt in November 2016. ",
"This is a region that the City has sought to get rid of for decades and render it available for redevelopment. “",
"And yet, it persisted.” ",
"It is still home to auto repair, tire repair, auto glass shops, and other businesses. ",
"The city has never installed sewers and has not resurfaced the roads or repaved them in decades. ",
"Many of the auto shops have moved out, but some are still hanging on. ",
"As I walked, my pants and shoes were swiftly caked in mud.",
"\n\nUntil his death in 2016, Joseph Ardizzone, a security instructor, lived in the two-story house where he was born at 126-96 Willets Point Boulevard; on the ground floor is the Master Express Deli, which serves lunch to the local laborers.",
"\n\nPlans for redevelopment are reported year after year, but I suspect the triangle will remain Iron for the near future.",
"\n\nRoosevelt Avenue rolls on, across its namesake double-deck, double-leaf bascule movable bridge across Flushing Creek. ",
"The bridge was built between 1923 and 1927 and carries both the Roosevelt avenue roadway and the Flushing Elevated. ",
"A complete renovation of the bridge, to be done while keeping it open to traffic, commenced in 2015 and is not expected to be finished until 2019.",
"\n\nThe Sloane Furniture Clock Tower, the longtime home of Serval Zipper and now a U Haul center on College Point Boulevard, was a familiar sight behind the Shea Stadium outfield fence.",
"\n\nEast of the Flushing River, the former town, now neighborhood of Flushing appears atop a slight rise. ",
"This gave the BMT/IRT the opportunity to plunge the Flushing Line into a tunnel to the Main Street terminal. ",
"For decades the territory on either side of Roosevelt Avenue was a no-man’s land of abandoned factories and warehouses, but these have been razed and massive shopping centers and new high-rise apartment towers have arisen in their place.",
"\n\nThe James A. Bland Houses in Queens is a 6.19-acre development with five, 10-story buildings featuring 400 apartments that are home to some 878 residents. ",
"The complex was completed on April 30, 1952. ",
"Bland was an African American composer & minstrel singer in the late 1800’s, who was a native of Flushing; he was known as the “World’s Greatest Minstrel Man.” ",
"Among his hits were “Carry Me Back to Ol’ Virginny” and “Oh! ",
"Dem Golden Slippers” (a favorite of the old man’s when playing his squeezebox).",
"\n\nThe east end of the Bland Houses leaves you at 40th Road and Prince Street, seen here facing north, in downtown Flushing, named for horticulturalist William Prince, who established a commercial plant farm, or nursery, in western Flushing in 1737 along Flushing Bay. ",
"He first limited his business to apple, plum, pear and other fruit and flowering trees, and later expanded to shade and ornamental trees.",
"\n\nOther plant nurseries appeared in Flushing during the 1800s; one of the more successful was Samuel Parsons’, whose family gave Parsons Boulevard its name. ",
"Parsons brought the popular pink-flowered dogwood from Europe, as well as planted a weeping beech tree in 1847 on what is now 37th Avenue that survived 150 years. ",
"Its descendants, grown from cuttings, are still there. ",
"Flushing’s streets are still named for plants in alphabetical order from Ash to Rose.",
"\n\nIf you thought the buildings along Roosevelt Avenue in Elmhurst and Jackson Heights were heavily padded with signage, get a load of 40th Road between Prince and Main. ",
"This is the heart of NYC’s second major Chinatown.",
"\n\nThe windows of 40th Road are chockablock with foodstuffs from live crabs to recently cooked hanging fowl to fresh fruit.",
"\n\nIt was time to kick it in the head after walking nearly the full length of Roosevelt Avenue. ",
"I ascended the elevated Long Island Rail road platform which affords a view of Flushing’s 15-year-old library building, which stands in the spot where two previous libraries served Flushingites at the V formed by Main Street and Kissena Boulevard, a very old road once called Jamaica Road as it took the course of today’s Kissena and Parsons Boulevards south to that neighborhood.",
"\n\nI’m not good at night photography so I’m going home at just the right time.",
"\n\nHappy 100th, Flushing Line!",
"\n\n“Comment…as you see fit.”",

"Andrew Yang called for CNN to reschedule its upcoming back-to-back climate change town halls so the struggling cable network can focus on reporting on deadly Hurricane Dorian, even though the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful is scheduled to participate in the made-for-TV event.",
"\n\nYang is one of 10 Democratic candidates scheduled to partake in a marathon event on Wednesday, which kicks off at 5 p.m. ET and extends to roughly midnight. ",
"CNN billed the back-to-back town halls as focused on the “climate crisis,” but Yang thinks the liberal network would be better off reporting the news.",
"\n\n“It would probably be better for @cnn to report on Hurricane Dorian and the actual effects of climate change rather than having us talk about climate change. ",
"We can always reschedule while Mother Nature is on her own timeline,” Yang wrote.",
"\n\nCNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment.",
"\n\nONE-TIME 2020 DEMOCRATIC LONG-SHOT ANDREW YANG IS SOARING\n\nJulián Castro, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, ex- Rep. Beto O'Rourke and Sen. Cory Booker are currently scheduled to join Yang.",
"\n\nCNN’s Wolf Blitzer is expected to interview Yang during his portion of the marathon climate change event if the network doesn’t reschedule to focus on Hurricane Dorian. ",
"CNN’s chief climate correspondent Bill Weir is also scheduled to partake.",
"\n\nBut Hurricane Dorian has already pummeled parts of the Bahamas is showing signs it's growing before taking aim at the Southeast.",
"\n\nCLICK HERE FOR THE FOX NEWS APP\n\nThe National Hurricane Center said, as of 11 a.m. EDT, the storm is continuing to produce wind gusts of up to 110 mph and a storm surge of 10-to-15 feet \"with higher destructive waves.\" ",
"The storm’s current movement is northwest at 2 mph with \"dangerous winds and life-threatening\" storm surge continuing to impact Grand Bahama Island.",
"\n\nDorian was located about 45 miles north of Freeport on Grand Bahama Island and about 105 miles east of West Palm Beach, Fla. In the Bahamas, devastating images revealed the scope of the damage from Dorian's catastrophic daylong halt over the islands that flooded Abaco and Grand Bahama with walls of water that lapped into the second floors of buildings.",
"\n\nOfficials said that at least five people have died and 21 injured people were airlifted to the capital by the U.S. Coast Guard.",
"\n\nFox News’ Travis Fedschun contributed to this report."
