Long strings of corn on the cob, braided 
together by the outer husks, were also so 
stored. 
When Lewis and Clark, on their way to 
the western coast, wintered with the Man- 
dans, near the mouth of Knife River, corn 
was a constant article of trade between the 
Indians and the explorers. The Indians 
needed iron knives, hatchets and other im¬ 
plements, and were glad to pay for these 
things with the corn which the explorers 
were so anxious to obtain. 
As the corn and the buffalo furnished 
their subsistence to these Indians, both 
were naturally regarded as sacred, and a 
vast number of sacred ceremonies grew up 
in connection with them. Messrs. Will 
and Hyde give interesting accounts of 
these, which, in a general way, are like cer¬ 
tain food ceremonies that are common to 
many Indian tribes of the temperate zone. 
The volume is an excellent example of 
good and useful work, and possesses a very 
unusual interest, not only for people who 
wish to know about Indians but for all 
interested in agriculture. We cannot doubt 
that it will be carefully read by many 
people and can recommend it to all. 
The volume is singularly free from mis¬ 
takes, but the typographical error in the 
title of the frontispiece is regrettable. 
IN CASSIAR 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 273) 
T HE big game hunter who is not a 
reader of the best literature on big 
game hunting misses more than half 
the pleasure of the sport. To obtain such 
books requires considerable search as many 
of the best are out of print and may only 
be secured from second-hand dealers, and 
in most cases from England. My experi¬ 
ence is that the great majority of hunters 
want such literature, but they do not know 
what to buy nor where to buy it. But that 
is another story. 
The paucity of good books giving infor¬ 
mation as to the wonderful Cassiar coun¬ 
try will be apparent to any one seeking 
them. Though I have made a diligent 
search through dealers and publishers for 
several months, I have been unable to get 
those books that I want nor am I satisfied 
that I know which are the best. 
“Travels in Alaska,” by John Muir, is of 
unusual interest throughout, but the hunter 
in Cassiar will be intensely interested in 
that portion of the book describing the 
author’s journey on the Stikine in 1879 
from Wrangell to Telegraph Creek. Here 
the reader will get the best description of 
the processes of nature in the Cassiar re¬ 
gion that is obtainable and as every true 
uinter is at least something of a naturalist, 
Muir’s work will prove most enjoyable. 
The first volume on “Big Game Shoot- 
ng” of the Badminton Library contains a 
erv short sketch by Clive Phillipps-Wolley 
>n grizzly bear hunting on the Stikine, but 
lothing of the hunting in the mountains 
ieyond the river. 
“Through the Sub-arctic Forest,” by 
Varburton Pike, is very interesting, but 
he greater part of it deals with the region 
eyond Cassiar. All of these books 
'hich are now in print can be obtained 
irough Forest and Stream.
