OTTAWA, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Tate, who
has just returned from work amoag the
Indians of British Columbia, says that
among the heather Indians of the
province the women are slaves and are
always degraded. The heads Of the
babies of the Flat-head nation are com
pressed with boards, which destroys all
that is good and noble in them. In
another tribe the heads of the babies
are bound until they assume the shape
of a sugar loaf. This pressing of the
heads out Of shape is a terrible cruelty.
They have their heather feasts still. A
short time ago she came across feast
where there were 800 of these people
engaged.
A short time before this they went to
their northern station, where a cannibal
feast was held. in which the cannibals
bite "a dead body and also bite living
people. Some Of the children who cam
home had been cruelty bitten in this
way. The devils dance which is pro
hibited by legislation. goes OH about the
same. There are four religious biters'
or dog eaters. These men hide in caves,
wnere they feast for days and then come
out in frenzied state.
Sometimes they bite raw flesh oHt Of
human bodies and when they cannot
get human flesh they win seize living8
dog, tear it mp and deyour the flesh.
This is to appease angry devils. Disease
and sickness are spread Ivy the canni-
halls. There is still the whisky feast.

WHISKY from Victoria sufficient to fill a
canoe, ana men, women and children
dip into the canoe until they are all mad
drunk. Then they fight and stab each
othr and he friends of those who have
been murdered, when they become
sober, slash their own bodies with
She reStes shocking story of the
supe,% titiOns of the Indians. When an
infant s brought into the world they

are killed or allowed to die. Girls are
married at md years of age. In one
case a girl OF l3 years Of age was forci-
bly taken from the home to be married
to n man who had already two wives.
They heard the child screaming as she
kicked and scratched the man who was
carrying her off.
If child is pretty and the other
wives good natured she has not bad
