THE NEE PERCES.
Life Among the Indian Tribes Of the Pa.
cifc Coast.


ciic Coast.
The Indians of this coast have nearly
all discarded their peculiar costume,
and wear old and new civilized dress
in decidedly Indian fashion. Among
the Nez Perces is seldom seen an en-
tire Indian costume Sometimes, how
ever, one is forcibly reminded of the
parody:
Lo. the poor Indian. whose untutored mind
Wears all his clothes in front and none be.
hind.
These Indians live in tents made of
poles and covered with cloth or buffalo
robes. The tents are left open at the
top, and, as the fire is built in the CEN
ter, the smoke naturally goes out at
the top AT night each individual
wraps his blanket around him and lies
down on the bare ground, without any
other covering. The bucks are fond
of gambling and understand the value
of bcb-tailed flush. They know how
to play lone hand, too, and if there
is ever a scrapping match over the pot.
there is a good Indian for breakfast al
ready carved,
A bird s-eye view of their encamp-
ment reveals some curious phases. In
the largest tent every night witnesses a
high iinks which is made hideous by the
discordant notes of several tom-toms,
a peculiar flute with hoarse whistle,
accompanied by the women who crone
through their closed teeth. The dances
and athletic exercises are the same as
the pow-wows and sun-dances of the
Sioux. Not the least interesting and
picturesque are the children and dogs,
which abound in great numbers. The
little infant is firmly tied to board
with strap. which the mother puts
across her forehead when walking
about. A little buckskin string tackled
on one corner with knot for each
month tells how old the little fellow is.
and the presence of beads and a STRIP
of oilcloth for sanitary purposes reveal
the sex. 1t is amusing to watch the
older children play horse with rag dolls
and dogs substituted for horses. In
their childish way they mimic the life
of their elders, and they are as quain,
and ugly as they are mirthless. The
dogs contribute their share to the gen.
eral fun and patiently submit to being
ridden and made to carry all sorts Of
bundles. The children have no com
junction about raiding one another's
play-houses, and many laughable thing:
occur during the melee which follows

A CURIOUS CUSTOM.
How the Young Men of Purbeck "Take
I'm" Their Freedom.

How tho Young Men of Purbeck "Take
Up" Their Freedom.
A curious old custom among the
quarrrymen of the Isle of Purbeck was
observed lately at Corfe Castle. There
is among the quarrymen charter bear
ing the date of 1861, which is vigorously
obeyed, in order to keep the working of
the stone quarries in the hands of free
men, To be able to take up ones free
dom one must be the legitimate son of
a freeman. He must be twenty-one
years of age, up to which time his wages
belong to his parents. Once during the
year the quarrymen meet at Corfe
Castle town hall, and there read the
charter, and on that occasion-namely,
Shrove-Tuesday-"free boys claim and
take up their freedom. On this morning
a large number of quarrymen assem-
'bled in the town hall, Corfe Castle,
and proceeded to the election of
officers, after which about twelve
freemen were sworn in. Each man has
to sign the roll of freemen, pay fee of
is. Sd. (about $1.65), provide penny
loaf made on purpose by the baker
OF the place and to buy pot of beer.
The man thus sworn becomes his own
master. Should any of the freemen de-
sire to marry during the next year he
has to pay to the stewards marriage
shilling;' and should he neglect to do
this his wife loses all interest in the
quarry, and can not take an apprentice
to work for her. After the above bust
ness was transacted the ceremony of
kicking the BALI commenced. The
ball is provided by the man who was
last married among the freemen, and
is presented in lieu of the marriage
shilling" If it should so happen that
no freemen has married since the pre-
vious Shrove-Tuesday the old football
is used, The ball was taken from the
town hall to field at Corfe Castle and
there kicked about by any one who
wished. Those very novel proceedings
terminated by the ball and pound of
pepper being taking to the lord of the
manor as an acknowledgment to him in
respect Of the way to river Ower.-Ia-
