Dietz DRY HOUSE Almo t di appeared from the Pennsylvania rural scene are the not uncommon nineteenth century Dry Houses, used before the days of cans and jars to dry large quantities of fruits and vegetable for winter use. (maller quantities were dried in outdoor bake ovens or on trays set on roofs for sun­ drying.) The dry houses were heated by old-time wood stoves. The trays were periodically shifted from one side to the other to as ure uniform drying. The one pictured here, built in 1853 accord­ ing to family tradition, is in an excellent state of pre ervation. Last used in the day 0 f the de­ pres ion, it is located on the 'oah Getz farm, three to Jow' mile west of Lanca ter City, on the old Harrisburg Pike. A similar stmcture, though weatherboarded, is preserved on a Mennonite farm in the Kitchener-Waterloo ection of Ontario, Canada. We conclude with an account on dry houses in Holmes County, Ohio, from Harry C. Logsdon' "The ilent treams" (Millersburg, Ohio, 1950, page 65): "Another ver)1 common event wa the apple' chnitzing Party.' everal adjoining fam­ ilies would come together in the evenings to pare and schnitz apples for the large out door dry houses in use at that time. Canned fruit wa almost entirely unknown at that time. 'early all the berrie, chen'ie , apple, peaches and pears, except those u ed during the ripening season, were dried for future use. The out door dry hou e was a one story frame building about six or eight feet square with a wood stove in the center and latted shelve or drawers on each side. The fruit was placed in the slatted drawers and a fire wa kept burning continually until the fruit wa completely dried."- .1.

The;.,r ew England fe tival, which has be­ come the National Tbank CTiving on the la t Thursday of November, celebrated the Pilgrim Father' gratitude for deliverance in t he new homeland. Because 1\ew Englander, HARVEST following the Puritan tradition, refused to celebrate Christ­ ma , Thank CTiving became fo r them a ocial festival, with fam il y reunions and turkey dinner, which took the place of the fo rbidden Chri tma fe tival. Harvest Home, on the HOME other hand, wa a summer or earl y autumn fe tival, held by Pennsylvania's "Gay Dutch"-the Lutheran and R eformed -in celebration of God' goodne s to them in harve t time. By DON YODER \Vhile the New England Thanksgiving was a harve t fe - t ival too, it hi tori ca l frame\y ork ha made it appropriate as a national festival, using New England history, a we have done in so many case, a symbolic of the history of t he entire nation.' Penn ylvania's Harvest Home was once--in the farming Courtesy: Paul R. lVieand \"alleys west of the Delaware-more important to P el1l1syl­ Yania farmers of Dutch tongue than the K ovember Thanks­ giving Day, which \l'a looked upon as a dubious and W1- nece sary, almost re en ted, Yankee gift. Lutherans and Reformed celebrated Ch ristmas and gave their private and publi c thanks to God for thei r ummer' harve t at the sum­ mer IIa rve t I-l ome. Hence fo r many years they felt no need of celebrating the Yankee Thanksgiving. Let u look at the hi Lo ry of this Pennsylvania fe tival \\'hi ch was long t he rival of ThanR giving Day, and even after the ab orption of Tha nk giving into Pennsylvania's calend ar, i still celebrated in Lu t h er a n and R efo rmed churches, even in the cities, and ha been borrowed by Men­ nonites, l\Iethocii t , and other church groups in Penn ylva­ ni a and areas whe re Penn ylva ni an settled .in North, outh, nnd We t. The co mparati \'e tudy of fo lklore and primitive religion has hown the universa li ty of harve t festiyal throughout the world. To show hi gratitude to th gods the farmer celebrated har\'e t yariou ly with a harTe t upper, a blessing of the fields and the produce of the fields, harvest dance and merry-making, harve t so ng, han "e t fertility ri te, harvest ~e rvi ces in temple and me tinghouse. The Pale tinian har­ yest fest ival described in the Old T estament are only one example of primiti\'e ha rye t festival with a religiou moti­ \'ution.' Roman Catholi ci m wit11 it multitude of holy day, had no special han 'e t thank giving festival, but in Germany the Autumn Ember Day (QuatemberJasten) and the beat­ ing of the bound (Flw'prozessionen or Bittgiinge) erved the purpose.

    Edited by d Ülo Valk and Daniel Sävborg Daniel and Valk d Ülo by Edited This collection of articles addresses the narrative construction of places, landscapes and their supernatural dimensions, the relationship between tradition communities and their environments, and the spatial conditions for encounters with the supernatural as they are manifested in European folklore and in early literary sources, such as Places Supernatural the Old Norse sagas. Storied and Supernatural Storied and and Storied Articles in the book discuss places cursed and sacred, churches, graveyards, haunted houses, cemeteries, grave mounds, hill forts, and other tradition dominants in the micro-geography of the Nordic, Places Baltic and Baltic-Finnic peoples.

Onder het bewerken van de eerste helft mijner grammatische studie betreffende de oud-Nederfrankische psalmen had ik tot mijn leedwezen geen gelegenheid om de handschriften zelve te vergelijken en moest ik mij dus tevreden stellen met de bekende uitgave van Heyne. Toen bij de bewerking der laatste helft de vormen zelve door mij waren overgenomen, zooals ik ze in die editie had aangetroffen, stelde ik de collatie der op de Leidsche bibliotheek berustende glossen tot later uit, dewijl toch de weinige afwijkingen van Haupt's tekst, die ik zou kunnen constateeren, op de slotsom van mijn onderzoek weinig of geen invloed zouden kunnen hebben. Door de heuschheid van den Heer bibliothecaris alhier in staat gesteld de glossen zelve met Haupt's uitgave te vergelijken, bie ik thans den belangstellenden lezer het resultaat mijner collatie aan. Gelijk nader zal blijken, heeft Haupt niet overal met de vereischte nauwkeurigheid gelezen: de veranderingen, die hij zich in de spelling van 't Latijn heeft veroorloofd, billijk ik in allen deele; maar onverklaarbaar is het mij, waarom hij op eenige plaatsen de volgorde der glossen eigendunkelijk heeft veranderd en op andere, in plaats van de lezing van den codex trouw weer te geven, onzin heeft geleverd, die niet altijd door eene conjectuur is te verbeteren. Ook op Heyne's editie heb ik eene aanmerking, die wel niet zeer gewichtig is De taal- en letterbode.

  • Romanian Sky's Constellations
    0 “Zodiac” - A collection of European legends, stories and myths related to astronomy- “Reach The Sky” 2015-2017 1 “Zodiac” - A collection of European legends, stories and myths related to astronomy- “Reach The Sky” 2015-2017 ROMANIA The rich mythology and folklore of Romania is poorly-known beyond the borders of that country, largely because of cultural isolation for much of this century and before. The mythology is in general a mixture of Christian and earlier Pagan themes, and in parts seems to preserve very ancient aspects from earlier cultures that other European mythologies have either forgotten, or perhaps never had. For instance, the Romanian constellations are similar to those found in the West, but are a mixture of adapted Christian and agricultural symbols, with a few retaining historical links to the Roman conquest of Romania (then called Dacia). 2 “Zodiac” - A collection of European legends, stories and myths related to astronomy- “Reach The Sky” 2015-2017 The Making of the World By Marcel Olinescu Marcel Olinescu (September 17, 1896–February 15, 1992) was a Romanian engraver.
