LIFE OF BABY SAVAGE.
THE REATMENT WHICH INDIAN
PROPOSES RECEIVE FROM
SQUAW MOTHERS.

Indian Redskin Very Seldom Cries-Is
Strapped to a Plank, Washed in the
Greek and Hung on a Tree to Dry
Out.
In the Indian papoose child nature
is essentially the same as in the eau
casion babe, though there is strik-
ing contrast in their manners, due to
maternal treatment, or as student OF
child nature might say to environ
ment. The chief differences, really,
between the little Indian and the little
white is that the former is less cry
baby than the latter. The reason for
this is that the white baby usually gets
what he cries for if it be within moth
ers' power to procure it. Learning this
from experience, for every mother
knows how wise and shrewd the baby
is, whenever he feels that certain ar
ticle would conduce to his content
ment, he forthwith bowls. Now, the
papoose, so far from being encouraged
in this vocal exercise, is repressed. His
mother is unresponsive and the baby
not achieving what he weeps for, soon
learns that tears and walls profit not
Perhaps if the white mother dwelt
in the deserts or the mountains so that
babv's crying would not disturb the
neighbors even she might let him cry
till WEAKNESS brought sleep, and per
haps if the redskin mother lived
among sensitive neighbors she might
seek to pacify the crying babe with

brioes that the neighbors might not
charge her with neglect of maternal
DUTY, or her baby with an evil DISPOSE
ton. Yet another reason for the calm
and placid habit and orderliness of the
papoose as compared with his fair
brother is that the darker little saw
age has no cradle, crib or go-cart to
sport and gambol in, but is either
packed tightly in basket or strapped
to a board. In this position he finds
kicking and squirming uncomfortable
exercise and his enforced repose de-
velops into habit.
So, the stoicism and the taciturnity
of the Indian are nurtured in early
youth. though of course one reason for
the Indians lack of fluency in speech
is that in his life and thought he has
not the need of many words. The
primitive white man was not voluble.
Bath Day of Papoose.
The papoose has no nursery luxu-
ries as little pale-face babes under
stand that phrase. He has no soft and
tepid water prepared for him by a
faithful maid or a fond mamma. He
is never lathered DER with perfumed
soap nor busted with sweet-scented
powders. At intervals, usually two OF
three times a week. the mothers OF
the tribe or band take their babies to
the nearest creek, pool or spring. I'M

Death for WeakIing 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. 1t is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
vive, for il is a custom in most of
the tribes to wilfully expose, suffocate
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
child is regarded as evidence of dis
pleasure of the Great Spirit.
The redskin 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 ar
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.
