Death for Heakling Babies.

Nearly all Indian children that one
sees are hardy and well formed. This
is because only those of robust consti-
tuition survive the trials and exposure
of their babyhood. II is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
vive, for ii is a custom in most of
the tribes to wilfully expose, suffoca' e
or drown born weaklings or deformed
babies. Death is the lot of the I'M
happy little baby whose health and
physique are below the tribal standard.
The Albino child, and these are more
common among the Indians than might
be supposed, is certain to perish soon
after birth, because the coming of such
a child Is. regarded as evidence of dis
pleasure OF the. Great Spirit. -. =.
The redskiff babe Is released from
his lacings and swaddlings as soon as
he is old enough to walk, and then
his real child life begins. He has
great freedom. When it is warm
enough to go without clothes, and the
Indian child Is Injured to cold, he tum-
bles and romps naked. His pets are
dogs and ponies and is as fond of
these as are his blond cousins. AS he
grows old enough to run he takes an
interest in the athletic sports of the
tribe and the usual young Indian games
are deer and hounds, hide and seek,
foot racing, pony racing, bow and arrow
shooting, spear throwing, wrestling,
and follow the leader.

When the bath is ended a cloth is

Developing the Brave.

The child is given every possible en-
couragement to play and is never
whipped by his parents, because it is
the Indians philosophy that whipping
breaks the spirit of the child and the
Indian ambition is to be brave and
self-reliant. 1t is fact that though
the Indian child is not subject to cor
poral punishment and the ruder forms
of discipline which white children are
often made to endure, they are rever-
ent, obedient, docile and extraordina-
rily respectful toward their parents
and seniors. 1t is the Spartan quality
which the mother and father strive to
develop in their boys.
School of the Indian.
The Indian lad of the wllds is not
oppressed with book studies. He is
taught his nature lessons in the for
est, among the rocks or on the plains.
He learns by hunting, and camping
with his elders, and every Indian lad
tiles to win the prize of commentator
by proficiency in those nature studies
which the Indian holds is the highest
form of knowledge. 1t is around the
camp fire, or the fire in the lodge, that
the youth learns the traditions of his
