SEVEN-SCORE OF YEARS.
The Extreme Ohl Age of Some
California Indian*.
The early inhabitants of Southern
California, according to the statement
of II. II. Bancroft and other reports,
were found to be living in Spartan con
ditions us to temperance and training,
and in u highly moral condition, in con
sequence of which they had uncommon
physical endurance and contempt for
luxury. This training in abstinence
and hardship, with temperance in diet,
combined with the climate to produce
the astonishing longevity to be found
here, says Charles Dudley Warner in
Harper’a Magazine. Contrary to the
customs of most other tribes of Indians,
their aged were the care of the com
munity. Dr. W. A Winder, of San
Diego, is quoted as saying that in a
visit to El Cajon valley some thirty
years ago he was taken to a house in
which the aged persons were cared for.
There were half a dozen who had
reached an extreme age. Some were
unable to move, their bony frames be
ing seemingly anchylosed. They were
old, wrinkled and blear-eyed; their
skin was hanging in leathery folds
about their withered limbs: some had
hair as white as snow, and had seen
some seven-score of years; others, still
able to crawl,
but so aged as
to lx? unable to stand, went slow
ly about
on
their hands
and
knees,
their limbs
being
atten
uated and withered. The organs of
special sense had in many nearly lost
all activity some generations back.
Some had lost the use of their limbs for
more than a decade or a generation; but
the organs of life and the “great sym
pathetic” still kept up their automatic
functions, not recognizing the fact, and
surprisingly indifferent to it, that the
rest of the body had ceased to be of any
use a generation or more in the past.
Dr. Palmer has a photograph (which I
have seen) of a squaw whom he esti
mates to be one hundred and twenty-
six years old. When he visited her he
saw her put six watermelons in a
blanket, tic it up, and carry it on her
back for two miles. He is familiar with
Indian customs and history, and a care
ful cross-examination convinced him
him that her information of old cus
toms was not obtained by tradition.
She was conversant with tribal habits
she had seen practiced, such as the cre
mation of the dead, which the mission
fathers had compelled the Indians to re
linquish. She had seen the Indians
punished by the fathers with floggings
for persisting in the practice of crema
tion.
At the mission of San Tomas, in Low
er California, is still living an Indian (a
photograph of whom Dr. Rcmondino
shows), bent and wrinkled, whose age
is computed at one hundred and forty
years. Although blind and naked he is
still active, and daily goes down the
beach and along the beds of the creeks
in ; »arch of driftwood, making it his
daily task to gather and carry to camp
a fag> t of wood.
