Then placing his hind feet on this pile he raised the fore part of his body and reached out his trunk, but still he could not touch us, as we were too far above Ihim.

Jacobsen, Rives the following description of the marriage ceremonies or the Hilmila In dians of British Columbia. An Indian who intends to utarrv calls uixin his in tended wife's parents ami arranges with them how much he is to pay for permis sion to marry the girl Among people oi nign descent this is done by messen gers, sometimes as many as twenty being sent to call on the cirl's father." Thrv are sent by the nmu'a parents lefore the young man is of age. In many instances ootn man and girl ure not more than 8 or 9 years old. The messengers go in tneir boats to the girl s house, and curry on ineir negotiations without going ashore, where the relatives of the girl are standing. The messengers of the young man's parents praise his excellence and noble uescem: me great exploits or his father, grandfather and ancestors: their wars victories and hunting expeditions their liberality at festivals, etc Thou tin? girl's relatives praise the girl and het ancestors, nud thus tho negotiations are carried on. Finally, a number of blan kets are thrown ashore by the messen gers: and the girl's relatives protest, and maintain that the number is not suffi cient to jiy for the permission to marry the girl. In order to obtain their con sent, new blankets are thrown ashore one by one, the messengers continually maintaining that tho price paid is too great. Generally from twenty to fifty blankets, each of the value of about fift v cents, are paid. After this the boy and the girl are con sidered engaged. When they come to be grown up the young man has to serve a year to His tattier-in-law. He must fell trees, fetch water, fish and hunt for the latter. During this time he is called tos, wnicn means "one who woos. After a year has elapsed the marriace is celebrated. At this time great festivals are celebrated. Seven or eight nie.i per form a dance. They wear dancing aprons and leggings trimmed with puflin beaks, hoofs of deers, copper plates and bells. If the groom should be a wealthy man, who has presented to his wife niativ I small copper plates, such as are u.R'd as presents io a urme, these arc carried by the dancers. The singing master, who beats tho drum, starts a song, in which the dancers join. The song used at the marriage- festival is sung in unison, while in all other dances each dancer has his own tune and song. The first dancer wears a ring niadeof cedar bark. His hair is strewn with eagle down, which flies about when he moves and forms a cloud around his head. The groom pre?iits the first dancer with a piece of caliw, which the latter tears to pieces, which he throws down in front of each house of the village, crying "IIolp!" in order to drive away evil spirits These pieces of calico which he throws 'down in front of the houses have a lucky meanins. and at the .inu time express the idea that tho when he comes to be a wealthy man, will not forget the inhabitants of any house when giving a festival. The dancers swing their bodies and arms, stamp their feet and show the copper plates to the lookers on. Then the bride's father brings a great number of blankets, generally double the number of those he had received from the groom, and gives them to his daugh ter. The bride orders a few blankets to bespread before the groom. She sits down, and he puts his hand upon her head. Then the groom ia triven for each of tho parts of his body one or more blankets. Finally he is given a new blanket After the bride's father has given a blanket to each dancer and to tho drummer the villagers are invited to a great feast. At this time groom and bride eat for the first time together. Science. I 'rtueeestor to C. II. Harmon.) BARBER & HAIRDRESSER OH4Vt'(J UilK W'TTIVJJ 1VI1 CII!. O pftolim iii tho lat.'t iil bt-nl tle.
