religion we find among almost all
primitive people. They believe that
the soul lives after death in the same
form as the living man. but invisible.

bounded into the circle, with his battle

other lodged and struck right and left

THE May MOVEMENTS OF IGORROTES
IN THEIR ANTE-HEAD HUNTING DANCE
How the Naked Primitive Warriors Work Themselves Into
Proper Frenzy for the Task of Staying Their
Enemies and Friends

haps the happiest people in the world
today No matter what they may be
doing. you will always find them
laughing and singing. Their little
black eyes are continually bubbling
over with mirth For a tropical peo-
pie, they are very industrious, and
accompany their labor by chanting or
singing. The Igorrote says that if he
can only sing as he works. it makes
the work seem much easier to him.
Native songs are interspersed through
the program given at the exhibition
grounds. The village covers over an
acre of ground, and the different
houses with their grass-thatched roofs,
present an appearance of peaked
stacks of hay. All the different styles
of architecture are shown: the rich
mans house. the poor mans house;
the home of Aloe and Tafudin. young
couple undergoing trial marriage; a
quaint village tribunal building, the
clog girls dormitory, a primitive
smithy, the brass pipe makers. and
pocket hat makers. And all are to be
seen just as the tourist would see
them going through the Igorrote coun-
try. In the center of the village a
large arena has been provided, in
which all of their sports, pastimes. war
dances, tribal songs, religious cere-
monies. tree climbing, etc, are shown
from time to time throughout the day.
