William Curtis Farabee, who
has just got home after
30 three years spent in explor-
RI EI ing remote regions of the
49, Amazon river in South Amer
lea. Among the tribes he
visited were two, the Mundurucus and
the Jiveros, who still keep up the
practice. One of the trophies he
brought back for the University of
Pennsylvania was a collection of four
belts made of human teeth-the most
priced accoutrements that any Mum
durucu could possess, according to an
Interview with DR.. Farabee in the
New York Sun.
AS to the ethics of head hunting DR..
Farabee says no self-respecting Mum
durucu or Jivero would go forth with
bow and arrow and stone Ratchet after
the head Of national enemy because
Of the pangs of hunger or the desires
of trade expansion. Head hunters are
not cannibals nor are they ambitious
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. On the contrary
they regard themselves as lovers of
peace. But from time immemOrial
feuds have existed among them, and
the only worthy method of treating
their traditional enemies is to seek
and obtain their heads.
When a head is brought in by an
intrepid warrior the village prepares
to celebrate the exploit by assembling
around a fire over which a potion
rivaling that of the witches Of "Mac-
beth" is concocted. If it is Mundu-
rucu village the head Of the enemy,
after having been boiled to the re-
quired tenderness, Is smoked for it's
preservation and the teeth are ex-
tracted. A three days dance is held
In honor Of the victory.
The Jiveros, however, vary the
process by removing the bones from
the head of the enemy and shrinking
1t to the proportions Of a big mans
fist. This Is also preserved-an OBJ
ject lesson perhaps for the rising
generation.
The belts testifying to the existence
of the collection brought back after
what scientists regard as the most
hazardous trip ever made into the
forest Of the Amazon. Excavations OF
prehistoric pottery and burial vases,
some Of them more than three feet
tall: records of the music of Indians
never before visited by white men,
chronological work among more than
thirty tribes heretofore known by
name only are all included in DR..
Farabee's achievement.
Most of the explorers of the Amazon
Valley have confined their attention to
the river bank. To go 100 yards from
the margin of the stream, even today,
is In places to be swallowed up in the
wilderness. DR.. Farabee went far into
the interior.
DR.. Farabee arrived at Para in June,
1913 After a few preliminary expe-
ditions up the main stream. he met
on the edge of British Guiana two
white men-the only two in that Sec
ton of the country-H. p. c. Melville,
magistrate and protector Of the In
dams for the whole of southern
Guiana. and John OgiIvie. a Scotch
man In the employ of the British gov
eminent. II was In Mr.. Melville's
house at Dadanawa that they made

bers have noted from time to time that
the moment Garrett gets in the chair
he begins to beckon to other members
and hold little whispered conferences
with them.
AS Speaker Clark rarely calls men
up in front that way, there was good
deal of wondering what the important
thing could be that Garrett always has
on his mind when the honor OF pre-
siding falls to him. A quiet investiga-

their indignation when they discovered
that the purpose for which the fnsti-

such an inquiry.
One of the charter members Of the

OF the characteristics and customs
of the natives he met during the
course of the expedition DR.. Farabee
is enthusiastic. After their first tmid-
ity at the appearance of white men
had vanished they were courteous and
gracious and received the explorers
with a hospitality from which the
white man could well take lessons.
One of the most picturesque expert
ences encountered by DIR. Farrabee and
his party was when they came upon a
village assembled for the purpose of
curing one of It's inhabitants of a
poisonous snake bite. The victim was
stretched upon the ground. Around
him were dancers who after sucking
the wound alternately blew and spat
upon not only the bite but all of the
mans joints. In an outer circle sat
the musicians, who played such an
insidious, plaintive tune that even the
strangers had difficulty in resisting
the hypnosis ii was designed to in
duce. The bitten man was more or
less hypnotized and by this method, as
far as the visitors could observe, was
cured
Marriage takes place at very early
age among these aborigines.
Many of the villages have but two
houses, one a communal affair in
which there is big general court with
the apartments of the individual
families abutting on it, and the other
a house which the women seldom en-
ter but which is maintained as a sort
of mems club, in which they entertain
visitors from other tribes.
The women would delight the hearts
of the anti-suffragists. Moral suasion
is their big stick. There is n native
liquor which is very intoxicating. The
women, however, do not touch n al
though drunkenness is prevaIent
among the men. During the periods
of intoxication of the men the women
restrain them from bartering and the
men obey with lamblike obedience.
The men entertain deep affection
for their wives and will barter any
thing else In their possession with
neighboring tribes except the "cusb-
ma" or ceremonial shirt which the
wives make.
Cassava, root similar to the potato
is the staple article of food. Arri-
culture in It's broader sense is unknovr
to these newly discovered Indians.
The men hunt and fish and do tba
bartering. The women gather the
fruit and nuts and CRATE the ,cassava
