HORRIBLE SNAKj DANCES.
.. CQU i Indians in Arizona Participate
* in the Ravoltinij Ceremony.
Frnm the Philadelphia Press.
f iRT McKeohh, July 15.—Scout George
Wallace has just returned from the Moqui |
country in the northeastern part of Ari- j
jona, where he ha3 been to see to what ex- !
w ,t the reports of trouble among the In
dians of that tribe are true. Wallaco 6ays
e e whole story is the result of two things—
indisposition of the Indians to have their
c iidren sent away from the reservation,
a id the annua] snake dance. He was a
witness of the rites of the dance, and gives
s ~,r graphio description of the orgies.
This annual festival of the Most Ancient
Order of Snakes dates back to a period in
remote antiquity, it is not a religious cer
eii ny, but is simply a public demonstra
tion of a mysterious secret society, similar
to the Masonic order in some respects.
Wallace says that the participants were
composed of two bodies of man, thirty-six
of whom danced with the snakes, and a
smaller number who formed a chorus of
singing men. These latter were the first to
c me upon the scene and were dressed in
bright colored embroidered Kilts, sashes,
anklets, and with beautifully tanned yellow
fox skins hanging down behind the body.
They bore smalt rattles in one hand while
in the other was held a stick to which were
fastened a couple of turkey feathers. This
stick they claim, carries the necessary pro
tection of one's life, and lets the snake’s
tutelary god know that none of his progeny
will be’injured or carried to remote lands.
These men made four or five circuits of
the small plaza and then took up a pusitiou
to the west 6ide of it. Iu the center of the
plaza was a cottonwood shed. After they
had arranged themselves properly, in a
state of extraordinary exultation, the
make men came marching with tremendous
energy, as though inspired to bound across
the mese with a single stride. This motiou
adds greatly to the impressiveness of the
gerious scene and thrills the spectators to an
excited state of mind for the ensuing act.
SONG AND DANCE MEN.
These dancing men, like their prede
cessors, made four circuits around a large
rock which stands in the center of the place.
They then faced the chorus and a song was
gone through with. After this ceremony
ihe snake men were divided into groups of
three, and one man from each three went
into the cottonwood shed and extracted a
snake from one of the logs, and, after put
ting it into his mouth and firmly fixing
it there with his teeth, he started
cn his round. His companion, with
his arms around his neck, kept the
tail of the snake in position with his left
hand while with his right, in which he car
ried a stick with two long feathers attached,
he kept tr.e serpent from becoming en
tangled in the hair of the dancer. The
snake, after being carried around the circle,
was thrown from the mouth, when the third
member of the group gathered it up and
carried it for the rest of the dance, occasion
ali\-, however, giving it to one of the spec
tator to hold, which they did in a very
modest maimer.
At times the serpents would try to make
their escape and would make a dash for lib
s'ty through the crowds which surrounded
th ? dancers, and the spectators would scat
ter in ail directions until the snakes were
recaptured by the dancers and carriei back
into the circle, and more securely held. The
visit to the shed wore oontinued until at
leist 15u snakes had been brought from the
iuclosure and all appeared to be in excellent
condition, judging from the manner in
ivaicn they resisted oapture, after they had
been dropped from the mouth. Two or
three instances were noticed of large bull
snakes being held by the neck, and twining
their bodies around the legs of the dancers.
In one instance the snake had so entwined
himself around the Indian that he was una
ble to move for fear of falling. This pre
dicament caused a great outburst of laugh
ter, but it looked anything but funny to the
dancer.
SNAKES IN THE MOUTH.
Those who danced with the snakes not
U; frequently had three or four in the
mouth at the same time, which, of all the
performance, was the most repulsive. To
see tt.e6e naked human beings going around
with the face completely hidden behind a
m-.sk i T twisting und squirming snakes was
en ugh to make the stoutest-hearted man
aim idcr W'ith disgust, yet the other mem
ber of the tribe greeted these manifesta
tions with applause.
The applause of the spectators urged the
dancers to greater feats, and as the dance
pr c eded the performance became most
horrible to behold. Some of the dancers
would take two large rattlers in the mouth
at the same time and as they slowiy swung
around the circle would chew on the living
snakes until iu man}' instances the serpents
w uld fall to the ground completely bit
ten in two. One dancer, who ap
peared to be a leader, bad six snakes in
hh mouth at one time, and the swinging
ends of the reptiles made a gorgon appear
at?oe of his head us he whirled
around the outer edge of the circle.
This ceremony lasted two hours, and when
the dance was over the participants were
thoroughly exhausted. While during the
danee they had been upheld by the ecstatic
condition, the reaction was terrible, and,
while there was no permanent injury to the
dancers, it took several days for them to re
e .perate. Thiß time was spent in sleeping
’Jd drinking a weak sort of broth made
trom the dead snakes which bad perished in
the ceremony. It was supposed by some
that the rattlesnakes bad been rendered
harmless by the extraction of their fangs,
hut to show that such was not the case a
and g was brought into the circle aud was
bitten by a snake. In a very short time the
unfortunate animal was dead from the
effects of the bite.

IHE DEBUTANTE.
An Admirable Little • ketch of the
You Gir.'s First Ea’l-
Heileman VTilssn in Short stories.
In her room sits the young debutante,
fresh from her bath, clad in the heavy folds
of her bath robe, above which her face
shows as a pictured smile. She has not
been unmindful of the fitness of things, and
her room by the delicate touch of her own
hands has been made to bloom with flowers:
she would have them look m perfumed ap
proval upon her as she dresses for the debut
party-
Smilingly she glances to a chair whereon
are laid the embroidered petticoats of China
silk, then her eyes turn to where aoross the
bed is placed that gown of white immaterial
gauze.
They are all so beautiful, these clothes,
and they are all for her. Thereat she
smiles. As she does so she spies the tiny
white slippers of undressed kid with the
sillten stockings reside them. It seems to
the young girl that she is living in fairy
land, and her joy breaks into supremacy
over the subjective condition ill which for
days she has Kept herself.
bne forgets that the hour of youDg lady
hood is approaching; she is a girl again;
ferveritlv sue clasps her hands, the bath
robe tails aside, and clad in her mirth she
merrily dances aoout the floor, while
through the window the man in the moon
smiles upon her. From beyond comes a
voice warning her to begin the eventful
toilet.
As she draws on the silken bore the dream
of a smile hovers about her mouth encar
mined with the blood of bliss; never before
has it appeared that stockings were so
pretty, she thinks, as she looks down upon
them.
Half hesitantly she reaches for the slippers
of white undressed kid, but she touches
them not; they seem too dainty to be put
on now, so she slips into a worn pair and
begins to draw over her one garment after
another.
Over each as Bhe unfolds it her smile deep
ens, and when she stands in a gown os white
as her own soul, her eyes glitter with joy;
never have her neck and arms seemed so real;
arching her throat she presses her lips upan
them, then leans forward to kiss her mir
rored face.
The slippers on, she stands in contempla
tion of her reflected image.
The days of her girlhood have fore di
vined.
Her whole being is wrapped by the arms
of consciousness. The long waited for time
has arrived. A great change has been
wrought.
Tnat act of dressing has murdered the
girl to create the woman.
