AN INDIAN BABY
How the Aborigines Care for the Young Of
Their Kinds

III the watchful American mother who
carefully guards her baby against the
cold and gives it daily bath in perfumed
water, could follow Mojave Indian child
through its infancy she would more than
once be horror stricken at what she saw.
Occasionally in hot weather the mother S
battle their children. The manner in
which they do it is most amusing. They
go to body OF water, strip the child,
and placing strip OF cloth under It's
arms, hold the ends in hand and swing
the child over the water, sousing it Wig
orously for two or three minutes. Of
course the CHI Id strangles, coughs, kicks
and struggles to get it's breath, but it
never cries. When the mother is satisfied
that the condition of the child is suf-
ficently improved, she drops it on the
ground and allows it to roll around in
the sun until its skin is dry. This treat
ment is given the child more with the
view OF keeping it comfortably cool and
respectfully clean. The babies before
they can walk a'e carried around in theii
mothers arms lying on boards. These
boards are about three feet long and
eighteen inches wide at the broad end.
They taper to narrow width at the other
end. Over the boards are loops of leather
that are there for the purpose of holding
the child on the board rigidly. 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. 1t is
never allowed to lie fiat on the floor or
ground when out of the mothers arms.
The cradles are left standing at sharp
angle against the side OF house or a
rock or tree.

THE FIRST MRS. ADAM
She Was Lilith and Was Expelled After
Being lao Years Married

Whether Lilith was one of the female
creations of Chap. /, or demon, OF
something between the two, she was con-
sidered matrimonially, complete failure.
She was expelled after living with
Adam 10 years, and subsequently became
the wife Of Satan, by whom she was the
mother of the Jinns, SO familiar in Per-
sian fairy lore.
The emphatic remark of Adam when he
first saw Eve, This is now bone of my
bone and flesh of my flesh, makes, it is
suggested comparison between Eve and
the beautiful but fiendlike Lilith not com
plimentary to the latter, while the refer
ence on the birth of Seth to him as
Adams son, In his own likeness, after
his image, conveys painful hint of the
uncanny offspring born to Adam and
Lilth. Perhaps in revenge for this Lilith
