Quently his wings sank helpless when

broken and he himself wounded, but he

itance and rarely softens her hands by anything like immersion in warm water, 1t at once becomes apparent that she can "spank, when warmed up by savage sense of duty, with an emphasis entirelyi unknown to the civilized or cducatede mother. The object of this punishmentis is never in any degree protected from it byd the intervention of cotton or woolen fab | rics. He Is obliged to stand and take it with the full vim ofits resounding force
 Painful as this punishment must be, it rarely brings tears to the child's eyes, but there is always a cessation of the kicking and prancing that manifested his light ness of heart before the punishment, and he seeks period of solitude Harsh words and the scolding of children are unknown among the Mojaves. Their rebukes arc quick and to the point and, as rule, their children are extremely obedient and af- fectionate.- .--Thomas Holmes in Kate Fields Washington.

MOJAVE CHILDREN.
INDIAN TOTS THAT ARE NOT BROUGHT
 UP LIKE OTHER BABIES.

They Are Taught to Run, but That Is About
 All-No Soap Is Wasted Them, but
 They Are Healthy and Are Generally
 Bright and Pretty.
 If the watchful American mother who carefully guards her baby against tho cold and gives it daily bath in perfumed wa ter could follow a Mojave Indian child through its infancy, she would more than once be horror stricken at what she saw.
 The Mojaves arc an indolent tribe who live in the southern part of California and the western part of Arizona. The men and women arc alike stoutly averse to any thing like manual labor, and they gather about the towns and live in 0 miserable way off the proceeds from the sale of curi- ous bits of pottery which they fashion from red clay and beads The Mojave women ago rapidly. Their faces wrinkle and wizen before they are 30 years old.
 The Mojave baby is a precocious crea- ture It comprehends great deal at very early age. It is usually on its feet at the age of months, and if male is capable of running a smart foot race at 3 years. Almost without exception Mojaye babies are attractive. Their dusky faces are al ways plump Their coal black eyes shine like beads and stare fearlessly at the o,stranger, brimful of frank inquiry and -gondernent. The Indian baby never smiles, but as soon as it is strong enough 70 raise it's dimpled fists 1t will clutch vigorously at the finger of person if pre- sented and try to get it into its mouth.
 Notwithstanding the apparent careless ness of the Mojave mother regarding the dict of her offspring, her children arc al ways healthy in appearance and an infant death rarely occurs. The only nourish- 7nent offered the children is what they are able to draw from the maternal breast, and upon this natural sustenance they ahrive The children are nursed until they stlave cut all their teeth, and many of them are not weaned until they are upward of 4 years old.
 But little attention is paid to the clean illness of the chilren. There are no regu- Gar ablutions and it is very doubtful whether such thing as soap was ever ap- piled to the body of Mojave infant. A few years ago q woman who was travel ing west by rail saw crowd of Mojaves at one of the Arizona stations, and, possi- .1ly with the idea of sowing a seed that would develop into great good, presented one of the Indian women with a cake of Derfumed soap. The article addressed it. self to the nostrils of the woman favora 7oly, and, thinking that it was a choice iedible, she sunk her teeth into it. The effect was instantaneous and pronounced kThe squaw spat out the mouthful that she Ebad taken and threw the remainder of the cake at the woman who gave it to her. h Occasionally in hot weather the mothers lbathe their children. Tho mannerin which
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-09-26

they do it is most amusing. They go to body of water, strip the child, and plac- ing a strip of cloth under it's arms hold the ends in hand and swing the child over the water, sousing it vigorously for two or three minutes. Of course the child strangles, coughs, kicks and struggles to get its breath, but it never orics. When the mother is satisfied that the condition of the child is sufficiently improved, she drops it on the ground and allows 1t to roll around in the sun until its skin is dry This treatment Is given the child more with the view of keeping 1t comfort ably cool than respectfully clean.
 Tho babies before they are able to walk are carried around in their mothers arms lying on boards. These boards are about feet long and IS inches wide at the broad end. They taper to narrow width at the opposite end. Over these boards are loops of leather that are there for the pur- pose of holding the child on the board rig idly. Wrapped in thin cloth, the child is laid on its back and thrust under these loops. Another loop or strap is fastened across it's chest. Thus strapped down, it sleeps and lies for the most of the time when awake. It is never allowed to lie flat on the floor or ground when out of the mothers arms. The cradles arc left stand ing at sharp angle against the side of the house or a rock or tree.
 Over the head of this peculiar cradle is q covering Several pieces of pliable wood are arched over the board, and over these bows piece of bright colored calico is thrown, with curtain in front that is al- ways lowered when the child is sleeping
 The Mojave women are very affectionate mothers. They carry their infants in their arms almost constantly, and when seated they are always swaying to and fro and crooning weirdly and softly their peculiar lullaby, whether the child is asleep or awake When the mother has an infant in arms, the father performs all the duties of the household. He provides food for the family and cooks it until the child is in a degree capable of taking care of itself.
 It is the height of ambition with the Mojave youngster to be a swift runner, and as soon as he gets beyond the toddling gait his parents turn their attention to tho development of his proclivities as sprinter. He is engaged in the business of foot racing from the age of 8 years until his limbs are stiffened with rheumatism or by old age.
 The Mojave parents arc capable of giv- ing their educated neighbors valuable les sons in the matter of child punishment. This is thing with which the father has nothing to do. It is left entirely with the mother, who, in the performance of that duty, resorts to no weapon moro formidable than her hand.
 The only method of punishment of chill dren among these Indians is what the edu- cated mother terms spanking, and when there is demand for this sort of correc- tion it is applied with force that cannot but leave deep impression upon the mind of the child When it is taken into con sideration that the Mojave mother works a good deal in the mixing and molding of clay, lives almost continually in the open air has muscles firm and strong by inher-
