A RELIGIOUS CUSTOM.
Sacred Feathers Among the Indians of
the Southwest.

Sacred Feathers Among the Indians of
the Southwest.
Feathers figure very prominently in
the religious customs of most abor-
igines and remarkably so in the
South west Among Navajos and Pu-
eblos alike these plume symbols are of
the utmost efficacy for> good or bad.
They are part of almost every cere-
monial of the infinite superstitions of
these tribes. Any white or bright
hued plume is of good omen-'good
medicine. " as the Indian would put it
The gay feathers Of the parrot are par
ticularly valuable, and some dances
cannot be held without them. though
the Indians have to travel hundreds
of miles into Mexico to get them. "A
peacock is harder to keep in the vi
cinity of Indians than the finest horse
those brilliant plumes are too
tempting. . tsa.
Eagle feathers are of sovereign
value, says St. Nicholas; and in most
of the pueblos great. dark, captive
eagles are kept to furnish the coveted
articles for most important occasions.
If the bird of freedom were suddenly
exterminated now the whole Indian
economy would come to standstill.
No witches could be exercised, nor
sickness cured, nor much of anything
else accomplished.
Dark feathers and those in particu-
lar of the owl. buzzard. woodpecker
and raven, are unspeakably accursed.
No one will touch them except. those
who ''have the evil road that is,
are witches, and any Indian found
with them, in his or her possession
would be officially tried and officially
put to death! Such feathers are used
only in secret by those who wish to
kill or harm an enemy, in whose path
they arc laid with wicked wishes that
ill-fortune may follow.

used to groan with delight whenever
we were rather successful in playing
some beautiful passage Now that
both he and George Eliot are no
more. the scene is to ne strange,
sad and quite unique memory.
Some ten years afterward they were
kind enough to ask me and my wife to

THE. .sWEETEsr THING.

What are the sweetest things of earth?
Lips that can praise rivals worth;
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn
Riches of gold untouched by scorn.
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile though they may weep
A brothers cheer, a fathers praise;
The minstrelsy of summer days.
A heart where anger never burns;
A gift that looks for no returns.
Wrongs overthrown; pains swift release:
Dark footsteps guided into peace.
The light of love in lovers eyes;
Age that is young as well as wise,
A mothers kiss, a baby's mirth-
These are the sweetest things of earth.
Mankind.

EvADING THE QUARANTINE.

Attorney A. NJ. 1mbrfe Tells Of His Ex-
perience Arriving in New York
Passengers Dou't Obj cot to Being Held,
But Easily Regarding Their Move
ments.
A. M. Imbrie, one of the most pre- missing
lawyers at the Pittsburg bar, arrived home
from brief vacation in Europe on the
steamer City of Rome. Mr.. Imbrle passed
through the examinations of the quarantine
officers and tells of his experience in an
amusing way. "We arrived in New York
"and were greeted with what we thought
a rare sight. Seven or eight of the largest
ocean greyhounds were lying at anchor and
the spectacle was grand one. We con-
graduated ourselves upon being permitted
to view it, not knowing why the vessels were
held there. The next morning we noticed
small black boat steaming around from one
vessel to another in a busy way, but the
thought of cholera never once entered our
minds. After breakfast s9Rll tender ap-
preached near our vessel and threw bundle
of daily papers on board. It was then we
learned the true cause of our detention.
You can imagine the shock to us. OF the
463 frst-class passengers who were aboard
not one of them uttered a complaint about
being detained.
"About II o'clock Health Officer DR.. Jen-
kins boarded the vessel, and after separat-
ing and lining up the steerage passengers
from the rest he inspected each one
minutely. He did the same with the sec
ond cabin passengers and then left the boat.
Later in the afternoon DR.. Jenkins again
boarded our boat, followed bv two porters
carrying bucket of lump sulphur in each
Of their hands. This procession cast dis
may among the passengers, who now
thought they were to be fumigated. Dr.
Jenkins assistants took their positions
and commenced the inspection of
the first cabin passengers. Each
one was questioned as to where
he had been Anyone who had been on the
Continent within ten days previous to sail
ing their baggage was to be held for thor
ough fumigation. 1t was surprising when
this got noised about how many persons had
spent their entire vacation in England.
We were taken off by couple of tenders
later in the evening. One man who claimed
he had been in England was detected by
the company's officials as having come
direct from Paris to sail, so his baggage
was returned for fumigation. I knew this
man had falslfed to the health officers, and
I had suspicious about great many others
He said he had had no sleep the night be-
fore. Strange as it may seem he told me
that out of the thousands he has inspected
he has only met one man who questioned
his authority or right for OBTAINING him."
