Crematiug the Dead.

When all is over, the widow must collect the
larger bones, roll them up in, an envelope of
birch bark, and carry them constantly on her
back for years. She is now q slave to the
whole village, and her least refusal to obey any
order is cruelty punished. The ashes of her
late husband are collected and buried in a
grave; and should any weeds appear upon this
grave she is obliged to root them out with her
bare fingers, while her husbands relatives
stand over and beat her. 1t is little wonder
how frequently the wretched creatures commit
suicide to escape from this complicated system
of brutality.
Among his contributions to North American
ethnology Stephen Powers gives a graphic
word picture of another funeral ceremony.
Among the se-nel Of California, he says, the
dead are mostly burned. At the frenzied scene
described. the corpse was that of a wealthy
chief. As he lay in state on the pyre, two
pieces Of gold teach worth f4) were placed in
his mouth. and smaller CONS in his ears and
hands, and on his breast All his finery-his
feather mantles, plumes, clothing. shell-money,
fancy bows, painted arrows. ETC., were disposed
about him.

When the torch was applied to the pile the
indians around set up mournful ululation,
They chanted. they danced, and gradually
worked themselves into delirium which
might well represent demoniacal possession.
They lost all self-control-Ieaping, bowling and
decorating their fesh. The young English
speaking Indians tried to restrain themselves
before the American spectators; but they, too,
felt the eonta gious fuTyof old racial instincts.
One Of these str ipped of new and handsome
broadcloth coat and cast 1t upon the blazing
pile with frantic yells- Another rushed up,
and was about to throw into the fire pile of
California blankets when a white man
present, desiring to test the sincerity of his
passion, offered him f3 for them. But, though
he jingIed the money in his open palm, the
avaricious trader had once more become the
tameless savage of the bribeless woods. He
hurled the money away with an execration,
and flung his offering to the flames Squaws
were even more frenzied- They flung upon the
fire all they had to give-their most treasured
ornaments, their gayest dresses, their rarest
shells. Screaming and moaning tearing their
hair out by handfuls beating their breasts
madly, some OF them would have cast them
selves bodily into the flames, and perished with
their chief, had they not been forcibly pre-
vented

INDIAN BURIAL CUSTOMS.


Legend Of the Moon and the Coyote-Ths
Widows Penanes-WeIrd Ceremonies nt
Funeral Pyres-The MourneFn' Dance
The Burial Of Chief.
Among the Indians Of North America there
have been and yet are, burial customs. and
legends concerning these, which. says the Lon
don Globe. are both interesting and Unfamiliar
to many. A great number Of the tribes have
long practiced cremation; and the Nishinams,
Of California, account for the introduction Of
the custom among them by the following
things that exist .sThe moon was good. but
the coyote was bad" This, by way Of paren-
thesis would seem to be survival of the dual
principle which runs through all the beliefs Of
India proper. When human beings were
created the moon wished to pattern them
after herself; so that, like her, they
should only vanish from the earth
for short time. and return again in few days
after death. But the coyote would not agree
to this He said that when men died their
bodies should be burned. and the friends who
renamed should make great mourning for
them once a year. And the thing was done as
the evil coyote decreed. But the moon was
wroth, and created the rattlesnake and caused
it to bite the coyotes son, so thar he died. The
coyote, however. fatty refused to burn his own
offspring until the moon insisted. 'SThis is
your own rule" said the latter, "you would
have it SO; and now your son shall be burned
like the Others" So he was burned; and after
year the coyote made great mourning tor
him. Thus the law which the coyote had de-
creed was established over all.

The FunernI Of a Chief.

Many of the tribes place their dead on
scaffolds lashed to the branches Of lofty trees;
others lay them in canoes and launch them by
night upon some quiet stream. But space per-
mits reference to but one more. Let this, for
its characteristic mingling of pomp and cruelty,
be that of the burial of Blackbird. the great
chief of the Omahas, as recorded by Catlin.
This chieftain was, in strict obedience to his
own commands, taken down the river to his
favorite haunt, which was the pinnacle of
towering bluff, From here, he said. he should
still be able ITO see the Frenchmen pass
ing up and down the river III their
boats" Blackbird owned, among many
others. a noble white horse. This designated
fayorite was led to the top of the grassy hill.
There, in the presence of the whole nation,
several fur traders. and the Indian agent. the
dead chief was solemnly, and for the last time.
placed astride his horse. His bow was in his
hand, his shield and culver slung, his medicine
bag and supply Of dried meat, his pipe and
tobacco pouch were all replenished to last him
through his long journey to the happy hunting
grounds where the shades of his fathers follow
The chase; his flint and steel, and the tinder
to light his pipe BY the way. were none of them
forgotten; the scalps he mad taken were proud
ly hung to the bride of his horse.

Hor.e and Master BurIed TOretIner.

He was fully equipped. and on his head
waved his beautiful headdress of eagle plumes.
When the medicine men had performed the
last rites every warrior painted the palm and
fingers of his right hand with bright vermillon.
with which he imprinted the red facsimile of
his hand onthe milk-white body Of the horse.
This done. turfs we're laid around the feet and
legs of the devoted and unsuspecting creature.
Gradually they rose above its sides; atlast over
its back and bead. Finally they shut in for
ever the nodding eagle plumss of the rider;
and there the dead and the living were left to
moulder undisturbed unto this day. There
they now mingle in one common dust-the
faithful victim and the callous lord.

The Widow's Terrible Ordeal.

According to the account quoted by DR.. Far
row in his valuable work on the 'Mortuary
Customs Of the North American Indians, the
Tokotins of Oregon compelled widows to pass
through an ordeal to which the suttee would
almost be preferable. The body OF the de-
ceased husband was kept for nine days laid out
in his lodge. During these nine days the widow
is obliged to lie beside 1t from sunset to SUM-
rise, no matter what the season or the tempera-
ture. On the tenth day the body is buried,
together with whatever of property
once aDpertained to it in the way
of clothing, arms, etc. The widow
must also lie beside the corpse on the funeral
pile. On no account may she move until the
doctor so orders. This merciful command is
never given, however. until the living body of
the poor woman is completely covered with
blisters. II, at any time during the life Of her
husband, she has been known to commit any
act of infdelity or to neglect to minister to his
comfort in any way, She is now severely pun
ished The relatives Of the dead warrior will
again and again fling her back upon the burn
ing pile, from which her own friends must as
many times drag her forth, more dead than
alive.
