On the banks of the lower Colorado, among the gravel mesas and mesquite covered valleys, live the Mohave Indians, having their commercial headquarters at The Needles, Cal., famed as the hottest place in the United States excepting Death valley, and their seat of learning, supported by the government at Fort Mohave, A. T. In western Arizona, where snow and ice are unknown, clothing is useless except for ornament, and the mesquite tree bears all the food needed to sustain life, we find the Mohave Indians to resemble in appearance and habits the negroes of central Africa except in the particulars of curly hair and thick lips, having the same scorn for the re straints of clothing, and the same pas sionate fondness for brilliant plumage and gaudy cosmetics. Peculiar are the customs of these benighted people, but there is none more unique than the cere mony connected with their disposal of their dead. An Indian woman died at noon, and we attended the funeral, four of us. The Mohaves practice cremation, and the cremating commences as soon as the breath is out of the body, as wit ness the fact that the woman died at noon and was on the funeral pile at 15 minutes past. Indeed it is said that the mourners are sometimes startled at see ing the dead come to life again when the fire begins to grow fervent. Not many hicos, as the white people are called, are accorded the privilege of attending these ceremonies, but as we stand well with one of the wise men of the tribe we were invited to be present. As soon as we could swallow our dinners we started for the place and were guided there by the wailings of the friends of the de parted, consisting of every man, woman and child present at the festivities. You can see the reasonableness of my calling it by such a name when you are told that the affair concludes by the killing and eating of all the horses of the departed, and every one goes to his own hut feel ing that he has enjoyed himself greatly. The Mohaves believe in demonstrating their feelings through the agency of the mouth and limbs, and this woman being much beloved the mourners were many, and their grief could bo heard a mile away. If ever you have heard a pack of coyotes howling forth their misery in the middle of the night, when they howl most artistically, you have this noise to u. uuu Arriving at that place we found a hole dug in the ground about 10 feet in di ameter and 2 feet deep, heaped full of wood and surmounted by the body of the deceased. This was burning, and around it in picturesque attitudes were all the friends trying to outdo each other in exclamations of grief. The head doctor, for the Mohaves have physicians, stood by the side of the genius who stirred the fire, giving directions for the most rapid destruction of the body, which he had, no doubt, with great skill assisted in becoming a corpse. He thus carried his functions a step further than the physicians in civilized life. One old fellow, who seemed to be the minister, was standing within the circle haranguing the assembly doubtless on the many virtues of the departed, and when he seemed to make an unusually good point the mourners manifested their appreciation by an increase in the force of their groans. Finally the relatives and friends ate the horses that were the property of the deceased and went home firmly believ ing that the dead woman’s spirit is roam ing untroubled in “Ghost mountain,” just across the river.—San Francisco Chronicle. The Women Du Maurler Draws. We should feel as if Du Maurier had been fickle and faithless if he were sud denly to cease to offer us the tall, tran quil persons he understands so well. They have an inestimable look of repose, a kind of Greek serenity. There is a fig ure in a cut of which we have forgotten the “point” and the date (we mention it at hazard—it was one in a hundred), which only needed to be modeled in clay to be a truly “important” creation. A couple of children address themselves to a youthful aunt, who leans her hand upon a toilet table, presenting her back, clothed in a loose gown, not gathered in at the waist, to the spectator. Her charm ing pose, the way her head slowly turns, the beautiful folds of her robe, make her look more like a statuette in a museum than like a figure in Punch. We have forgotten what the children are saying, but we remember her charming attitude, which is a capital example of the love of beauty for heauty’s sake. It is the same bias as the characteristic of the poet.— Henry James. Are Spats Fashionable? There is one point on which consider able doubt exists in various quarters. Are spats fashionable? is the query in which this doubt is sometimes expressed. The fact that some well dressed men persevere in wearing them does not ex actly answer the question in the affirma tive, for there are old army men and others who will continue all their lives to wear the same sort of things they wore some 10 or 15 years since. That spats since then have descended in the social scale may be otherwise conceded.—Lon don News. A 3Iodel Husband. “I defy you to find a man who loves his wife as dearly as I love mine. To render her happy I would undertake to go and live alone at the top of a moun tain.” “But you would never come up to Puntolini’s uncle, who, when he ascer tained that his wife looked best in mourn ing, went and committed suicide.”—Cor riere della Sera. Lore as a Disease. May—Why is it that people really know so little about love? Frank—Because it is a disease that leaves its victims in such a pitiful con dition of imbecility that they are wholly incapable of rationally describing their symptoms.—NewYork Herald. Wide apart.
