MARRIAGE OF THE PUEBL0S.
The Ceremony Consists of Blowing Corn
Meal into the Air.

Mrs. H. r. Voth, of the Columbian
Museum, who has been dwelling among
the Hopi Indians of Arizona for some
time, gives an interesting account OF
their marriage customs. Hopis are al
most unique among savage ana semi
civilized peoples in that no considera-
tion is Given for the woman to be wedd-
ed. either as presents to her relatives
or as a direct purchase. The ceremo-
nv in itselfis very' simple, consisting
only of the scrubbing of the heads of
the Young couple by their respective
mothers-in-law, assisted by their
friends. They then proceed to the
edge of the Mesa, where they dow a
roonthful of corn meal into the air and
breath a prayer. After this they are
man and wife, and at the conclusion of
feasting and jollifcation, which last
some weeks, settle down to every day
life.
