HUNTING.
Some Indiana Removed tha Skin of the
Entire Head. Including the Hair and
I Beard of Their Victim—Eara and
I
Hands Also Served For Trophies.
! Tbe art of scalping baa declined
.owing to tbe severe palus and |<enaltlev
[dealt out to Its practitioners In the vs-
1 rloua states of North America. I> was
In a certain sense a product of Euro
pean settlement, for It would never
have become so widespread bad it not
been for tbe white man.
I Scalping Is commonly considered a
leustom belonging exclusively to tha
'North American Indian. This Is a i
mistake. It Is found In South America,
[and Herodotus mentions It ns having
ibeen practiced among tbe Scythians
'But as tbe old (¡reek traveler's book
[ was not published until 1802 It Is
probable that scalping ap|>eured to
itbe early explorers of America as a
new thing. It was brut descrllied by
; Francisco de Garey, wbo In 1520 can "
ecroes it In bls III fated ex|>editlou to
Ipanuco. He found that tbe Indians
[removed tbe skin of tbe entire bead,
[including tbe balr and beard. In 1535
Jaques Cartier wrote an account of a
scalping party which Is more typical
of tbe custom as usually found. From
tills time on it Is described by many
Writers, notably Captain John Smitb
land Champlain.
> Tbe Indians themselves were uncer
tain as to tbe use of keeping an ene
ttny's scalp, except that they felt It
would burt him In some way. Some
said It put him In tbe power of tbe
¡¿owner of tbe scalp, ottiers that It bau
labed him from tbe happy bunting
/“round«. while still others believed
'that It annihilated him.
I In tbe opinion of George Frederick
whose monograph may be consulted In
if be Smithsonian Institution report of
IJIMXI. scalping Is a modification of
'head hunting, n practice indulged In
l>y many savages. There Is a primitive

¡.venient to carry no large a thing an a

Bo lie borne out by the following facts:
; Many Americau Indiana did not fol
low tbe practice of scalping, notably
[those of tbe north, adjoining the Es
kimo. tbe Fnizcr river indiaus and
the Algotiqiilris of New Jersey. Nearly
toll of these practiced bead hunting. A
