As a usual thing the toun?'. who wjuld go ashore at Neah Pay mus; be an intrepid and dauntless sightseer. He must not care for the weeping skies and raging winds and surging seas. He must b undismayed if the -ma I row boar. which is the only craft in which hi can approach tlie shore, is borne triumph antly aloft on a mammoth breaker and perhaps dashed sidelong upon the beach, while his tarpaulin suit (tor such a su.' he needs) is drenched from head to foot with .a shower of the briny.

"Lower the dingey!" was the order promptly obeyed by the stalwart sailors and very s >on their long, strong stroke? wore driving the boat rapidly towards the shore. There were on that trip two indomitable women, who had firmly r- - solved to losno opportunity for explor ing and investigating these wilus. and to !>« put down by no stormy wind that blows, and so when the dingey was wafted on the smooth, sandy beach as gently a a ror lea'" drifts down a smoothly flowing liver, they may nave felt some slight qualms of disappointment, after being so thoroughly nerved up to face nature in her wildest moods. It was like being pre pared for a blow and receiving a care--. Rut caiessej are pleasant, after all. and so these female Oapt. Kidds w re oblig 1 to admit that their visit was mu h more pt editable of results than if half their er.ergy had been spent in battling with the elements.

The iittie Indian village lay half a mile away in all the enchantment that distance lends, and two or three sparkling streams ran gaily down over pebbly bottoms, the:: banks overhung with wild rose, salmon berry and eider bushes.

This ■ •: tor k of r'aithfu. work, for no n -sionaries ever labored more arduously .ban do the agents and teachers among hese people. «howmjf the greatest inter sr in. and affection for, their -charges, irdeed. it would be hard not to be inter --;ed in the sixty bc>ys and girls who .rra the agency school, for their faces *ro brigater, more mobile and animated, than in any similar gathering I ha\e seen, and they enter inro their work with a spirit that is unusual aming most Indian hi! lr"n, who arc usually tne most undis guisedly blase looking spet imrns of hu manity it is possible to imagine. As we passed along the village we were beset i>y scores of dogs of all breeds and haif ■r is, -logs large and small, good nat ure..! and otherwise, and Chester, the tine ooking Indian youth who acted as our Kii.de, was earnestly entreated to keep them away. Tne Indians consider their good luck to be proportionate to the num ber of dogs they own, and there is no measure for the wue that would befall ;he man who killed one, so Neah bay is . paradise for every mongrel who can get hlms' if transported thither, ami he will not be molested, but allowed to die a nat :al deal i, ev n though he may be sulTer ii'g from distemper, mange, or broken imbs.- as were some of the poor sreatures wi - saw. to the village. In a wood, lies the graveyard, and It was actually .a relief to turn our steps towards it. auer con i with the unwholesomeness of live ndians. The entrance is marked by a irge "tam-an-a-was" board, decorated n gay colors and symbolic designs. Totem poles are mounted at intervals around :h • enclosure, and strips of gayly colored ' unting tioat in the air, suggesting a "ourth of July celebration. It is hard to imagine anything more fantastically weird than this resting place of departed si washes. The manner of preparing the dead for burial is to double the body at the waist, tying the knees and neck to- with a strong rope, so tightly as to extinguish life, if life remains. This is done instantly upon the cessation of respiration, and woe to the unfortunate »avage w ho indulges in swoons or trances! His sorrowing kindred will have him out of the way before agent or priest can Interfere, and if he is not dead he soon will be. Judge Swan, one of the best authorities on the customs of the Xorth w -t Indians, relate- several Instances of Indians being buried alive, and of one ease where great consternation was brought upon a family by the reappear* ance of a man who had not been properly bound and was able to throw off his grave clothe?. Tt was thought to be a fearful omen, and ever since the utmost care has bt > n taken to prevent a repetition-of the offense. It is considered most unlucky to keep a dead body in the house, and so these usually slow, impassive people con du. the business of burial with the nio-t amazing dispatch. After the body is bound it Is placed in a small box and tie posited In a shallow grave, which i- usu ally marked by a small structure, some times quite elaborate little houses, in which the body rests on a shelf or frame above the ground. Then the tomb is cov eted with ail the perso lal property of the deceased. Here was a tiny mound on which were heaped little shoes, tattered elf thing, and above all, a nursing bottle! Anoth'Tr w s loaded v ith guns, tlshing U'.'kle, blarkets, baskets and the wear- In?: apparel of a mighty brave. A wo man's grave was covered with broken dishes, the wre k of a sewing machine, tin pans and pails nailel to the tomb, wriie the debris -.if a wn k« ! household lav altered about. Kverv article is ' iv'ken or otherw:-. rendered iirvlrss, so th t the evil minded may haw no temp tation to rob the dead. Tt was with strangely mingled feelings t' it we wended our way back past the stream where wum.-n and girls were squatted on the ground, rubbing nut their teaching, post groups of withered old hags roasting large mussels on hot treks, .ind gulping them down greedily: past round fat pa ppoftsen, some of whom laughed and crowed like anybody's 1m,?.:--*. and past the ol i. old people, sittinsr in boxes in the sand, gazing out with that impenetrable g-<*e which is characteristic of the r.e e, upon the l ine r>-.i -h» s of water.
