A New Kind OF savsses.

The peoalarities Of the Cocopas, queer
tribe of savages living in the valley of the
Colorado river in Lower California and
Mexico, have been brought to light by
Professor McGee Of Washington, who has
returned from a visit to that part of the
country. He describes them to the Wash
ington Star
/ supposed they were fishing people,
living SO near the gulf. / found them es-
sentially agricultural, cultivating corn,
beans, peas and squashes and locating their
farms according to the caprice of the floods
They professed to be inimical to the Mex
lean government and to be anxious to move
to the United States
The Cocopas are of fine physique, and
the men are tall and robust measured
one and found him to stand 6 feet in
ches. Their skins are dark. They have
very large feet, notable for the fact that the
middle toes are invariably the longest. /
saw the big fellow | measured run bare
footed over patch of sharp stubble left
by stalks of the cattail flag which had been
burned. His feet were not hurt in the
least.
1t was common to see the men come to
our campfire and poke the Goals with their
naked toes. One fellow had thus burned
all his toe nails black, although his feet
were otherwise uninjured.
The toes of these people are remarkable
for their nimbleness. [ saw one man pick
up a redhot coal with his foot to light his
cigarette. Another, walking along the
road, thus clutched stick which he wished
to use for cane gave child a lump
of sugar. He dropped it, but the nimble
toes caught it and brought it to his hands
Upon the death of one of the tribe his
kinsmen all cnt their hair to shortness
proportionate to the relationship Of each
to the deceased. The property of the
dead man is given to different members Of
the tribe, never to the relatives. This is
to prevent disputes as to ownership. The
house having been deprived of the valua-
bles, the corpse is permitted to remain
within while fuel is collected and fire
kindled underneath Thus each man 5
house becomes his funeral pyre.
All the Cocopas paint their faces aud
are more or less tattooed. The foreheadS
of the men are tattooed with circles or zig.
gag marks. Upon marrying, the woman
must be tattoed with various designs.
When cocopa girl is ready to take a
husband, hole is dug in the ground, anc
in it is built fire, kept burning until the
surrounding earth is thoroughly warmed
The fire is then extinguished and the bride
elect placed in the pit. She is buried t.
her neck, and in this condition is lief
standing until morning. After being dus
out the next morning she is supposed to be
ready for the duties and trials of matri
mony. This would seem to be a reason
able supposition.

The Reason for Some Failures
From Success for May.


How many public men have fallen be-
cause they have been discourteous to sub
ordinates, to newsgatherers, to voters after
election How many, on the other hand,
have climbed to great heights of power
and reputation because they paid attention
to the civilities of life People have long
memories. They never forgive the slight
est affront to their sovereignty. The mo-
ment public man so far forgets the source
of his power as to treat the humblest indi-
vidual with scant courtesy, he places in ac-
ton an engine for his own destruction.
Per contra, let an official be thoroughly
agreeable in manner, and genuinely inter-
ested in the welfare of persons whom he
may never have occasion to "use, and
he places in unknown hands cymbals to
proclaim his merits. Popular favor is
swayed as often by the personal manner of
candidate as by the principles he rep
resents. True courtesy, however, springs
from the heart, rather than from the head
1t takes little account of rank, or circum-
stance, or benefits to be derived.
