MOJAVE FUNERAL RITES.
Grief and Appetite Go Ham] In Hand at
These Ceremonies.
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.
