The preaching is in the Mohawk
tongue, and the church is always well
filed. The community is very rch-
gious, and even such as donot regularly
attend service do not fail to go to the
first communion; to marry only under
church sanction; to call for the priest
when dying, and to wish him to stand
over their grave.
Children, instead of receiving the
names Of their parents, are given some
new name and one which has a mean
ing, as, for example: "He has queer,
queer voice" "lIe carries flowers" "A
beautiful night" "His face is as long
as any others"
The homes are usually simply fur
nished. In some are quaint. well kept,
old fashioned articles of furniture. DIFF
fering from many other Indian com
munities, they do not care much for
flowers, nor do they have any striking
hatred for weeds.
The moral standard is higher than in
many other reservations which are more
in contact with the whites, and there
are not nearly so many cases Of disease
caused by contact with white depravity.
There are more deaths from lung dis
eases than from any other cause, ana
the average duration of life is good.
Many live to the age Of eighty or ninety
years. A pathetic reminder of ancient
beliefs is the restlessness of the sick and
their impatient desire TO be borne from
house to house, to remain for a time at
each, hoping thus to find the spot where
evil influence cannot reach them, and
no matter how i'll they are none will
take medicine when the wind blows
from the east
The oldest man in the village is over
ninety and very white-a descendant Of
white child captured by the Indians
near Albany long ago, when the French
ruled in Canada, and who grew to ma
turity among them.
Many a foray did the St. Regis Indians
in times past make into the Atlantic
states. Originally of the Iroquois con-
federation, and for the greater part No
hawks, they took part, through being
Catholics, with the French rather than,
as did most of the Iroquois, with the
English, and no longer considered as
part of the confederated tribes became
a new people and turned their rifles and
tomahawks against their former breth.

such is their grim designation for tie

on unforgetable memories Of past wals
past cruelties and past reprisals.
