It was upon this evidence that the new- ly discovered Caribs were declared to be or man-eaters, thropophagi,” unworthy to be treated like eivilized beings. But this declaration se- gured them immunity from Spanish at- tacks for many years, as owing to the un- vory reputation, and to their great valor, descendants are still living in the ‘est Indies, while all the other Indians ve long since disappeared. ‘There is not ‘the slightest doubt as to their bravery, for all the Spaniards testified to it before m their return to Spain. discovery a ducke's flesh “incurable an- Queen Isabella oi And 160 years “Frenchman describes a figh: place between a party of his countrymen and a bunch of Caribs, off the Island of Dominica. “While were occupied in saving the wounded,” he says, “the old savage Carib captain, terribly wounded as he was, came toward us like a sea-wolf, and, raising his body half out of the water, like a Triton, holding two arrows on the string of his bow, fired them into the boat and then dived into the water. He again rose and returned bravely to the charge, but his strength failed him before his cour- age, and we saw him fall backward and sink to the bottom.” It was their custom to go stark naked, until the middle of the last century, the tropical climate of their country not ne- cessitating any garments for warmth, and their conventionalities permitting an en- tirely nude condition. Yet, though this will hardly be credited, they were, and their descendants are today, modest and well behaved. Sulll, while not caring much about garments of wool or cotton, the Carib werriors were very particular as to their coats of war paint. They covered their bodies with a coating of “rouccou,” or native anatto, which grows wild in their country, and with which they painted . THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1898-24 PAGES. even without the last named, the Carib laborer is quite content. Famous Dishes. The Carib, by the way, was the Inventor of the casareep, which forms the basis of the famous West Indian pepper pot, that concoction sought by all gourmets in the tropics. The juice is evaporated until all the poisonous quality is driven out, when it becomes an antiseptic capable of pre- serving meats of every kind for a long period. This is placed in a big jar or earth- en pot, and into it are thrown odds and ends of meat from time to time, which the juice of the manioc preserves and to which it imparts a peculiar and agreeable flavor. Another contribution to the civilized cul- sine made by the Carib might be mentioned were there space enough, but it will be only necessary to examine the history ot the West Indies to ascertain this to be true. The term “buccaneer” was derived from the Carib “boucan,” to roast an ox or sheep or pig on a spit over an open fire. The early freebooters were partial to roast- ing other people's cattle in this manner, having learned it from the Caribs, and after awhile the term was applied to them and stuck. In St. Vincent the chief cultivation of the Caribs is the arrow-root, which reaches perfection there on the sloping hillsides overlooking the Atlantic and Caribbean Waters. They grate the tubers on a big wheel, driven by water or hand power, and their little root mills may be found in every ravine and water course on tho windward side of the island. The small animals of the forest, like the aguti, the large lizards, the iguana, birds and sea turtles, furnish the Caribs with the little animal food they consume, to which they add at infrequent intervals a kid, pig or chicken; but these last they generally sell to the white people. They are very abste- mious, both in eating and drinking, get- ting drunk only on great occasions, at | which times they are not always agreeable to meet. As, however, the interval be- tween the bellicose condition and the maudlin and helpless stage is very brief, ic is only necessary to hold off the first at: tack of a drunken Indian a Uttle while, when he will sink into a stupor. Racial Characteristics. In general, the Caribs are peaceable and gentle, respecting the white man to the verge of abjectness, and make excellent servants and laborers. They Lave, though, a truly African disregard of the future, and when in possession of a little money do not care to work again until it is tpent. It is a matter of great regret that they themselves from top to toe. It is related of one of the early settlers of Guadeloupe that one day, coming home from a trip to the mountains, ‘he found his wife in tears, and when he asked her the cause |ghe pointed to a new white cotton ham- mock, which he was surprised to see all streaked with red. She said that a Carib warrior had called, with his war paint on, had sat down in the hammock, and when he left had also left a goodly portion of his costume. A Cleanly People. They are among the most cleanly people lin the world, these descendants of canni- | bal Caribs, bathing twice dally, et sun- rise and sunset, in the running streams beneath palm and tree fern, as their an- estors used to do before them. % Only a few families of the 300 or so now living in St. Vincent and Dominica retain a knowledge of the aboriginal speech, which is chiefly preserved by the old men and women. In the former island they speak English and are good Episcopalians, and in the latter they speak a French pa- tois and are mainiy Roman Catholics. It is a hundred years since the French gave up the island of Dominica to the English, but today the dialect of the natives is a patois having as its basis the French of former inhabitants. Their reservations, se- cured to them by the crown, are far dis- tant from the populous white districts, mainly on the Atlantic siopes of the islands, facing the east, where the waves of the ocean are more tumultuous than on the western side, facing the Caribbean sea. ‘They live there quite happily, in the prim- itive condition of their ancestors, but not only have they abstained from human flesh as food for many years, but in the main are at present vegetarians, owing to the scarcity of animal food and not from choice. Cultivating the Cassava. They labor on the sugar plantations for the white proprietors, go fishing in their dugouts along the coast, being expert fish- ermen and sailors, and greatly in request in the “sugar season,” when the lighters and droghers have to be loaded in the tre- mendous surf. In their hillside gardens grow coffee, cassava, arrow root, maize, Sweet potatoes, yams, plantains, bananas, the various fruits of the tropics, pineap- ples, oranges, sweet and sour sops, sapa- dillas, ete., but their chief cultivation is the cassava and arrow root. The cassava may have been brought by their ancestors Carib Girl. from South America, but it is apparently indigenous to the West Indies, having been found in use by the natives by their first discoverers. It has almost as many uses as the cocoa palm, which waves above ali the huts along the coast, and the Caribs make it available in a variety of forms. The poisonous principle of the raw tuber is volatile and driven out by heat, so the Caribs grate the root to shreds, which they strain in a peculiar sleve-like basket, shap- ed like an oriole’s nest, long and narrow, and which is hung from the horizontal limb of a tree with weights attached at the bottom. The eontents of the basket are thus gradually compressed, the juice runs out and when the cassava is dry it is ground into “farine,” or fine flour, rolled into cakes and baked over a brisk tire on flat stones or fron plates. These cakes are something like the Mexican tortillas, but much larger, and are as palatable and nutritious. They are stored away care- fully, end when they become have become intermixed with the black and colored people of both islands to such an extent that the aboriginal type is threatened with obliteration. The Carib type is that of a strong, well-shaped indi- vidual, with robust body, smali hands end feet, pleasant countenance, somewhat flat nose, high cheek bones, coarse black hair, and a complexion rather yellow than red or copper-colored. It is prob- ably the lightest in tint of any of our aborigines, being a clear yellow bronze almost, and in certain individuals ap- proaching “old gold.” The men are said to pluck out whatever vestige they may have of a beard or mustache, but the hair of the girls and women is long, glossy black and abundant. They take great pride in their coiffures, and almost any time some maiden may be seen seated on a rock in midstream, with sunlit water sparkling around her and tree ferns inter- laced overhead, clad solely in Eve's cos- tume, and jntent upon arranging ker shin- ing tresses. A Curious Custom. Tt was anciently the custom among the Caribs to compress the foreheads of their infants, thus producing those “fat heads” found in some other tribes of the west. “Their foreheads and noses are flat,” says an old historian; “not naturally, but by artifice: for their mothers crush them down at their birth, as also during the time they suckle them, imagiring it a kind of beauty and perfection.” By this means their crania were made almost conical in cutline, as viewed laterally, and the parie- tal bone so dense as to be sapable of turn- ing the blade of a good Toledo. In fact, the first Spaniards in these islands used to lay wagers on the denstty of an Indian's skull, frequently putting it to the test by two-handed blows that would have split ® pos:, but usually without Killing the In- dian. But as scientific investigators the Spantards never were a great success, for they eventually exterminaied the Indians of the Greater Antillcs, so that not one re- mains in the larger islands of the West Indies, while those who still live in the southern islands owe their existence to their ancestors having giver th> cruel ine vaders as good—or as pad—as they Lrought. These, then, are the iast remains of a once powerful people, whose origin is en- Wrapped in mystery,’ and whose end was hastened by the coming cf the Spaniards to America. F. A. OBER. eee HAD SOME NARROW ESCAPES. Corporal Laurie Struck by Seven Bul- lets, but Not Injured. From the Philadelphia Times. It is comforting to the wives and rela- tives of soldiers who are now in Cuba to know that it takes very many bullets to kill a man. Tons of lead are wasted on every battlefield. To have the bayonet on the rifle a sol- dier is carrying bent by a bullet, the butt of the same rifie splintered by another bul- let, the toe of the shoe shot off b: a ball and the man’s clothing almost oentnae by others is a chapter of lucky incidents that reads like a dime novel. Here is the ae. bs aomraes Laurie: “Before I entered the Zareba I w: struck, but shortly afterward a bullet took off the toe of my left shoe without hitting my foot, the shoe being a size too big, for easy marching and sleeping at night. Then my bayonet was struck and bent over at a right angle. Then a shot went through my sleeve, near my left wrist, tearing two holes, but not hurting myself. Then my rifle was struck while I was loading, the bullet splintering the butt and being stop- ped by an iron bolt which it met. This bullet would certainly have gone right into my body but for my rifle being there. Then a nigger in a trench let drive at me with a spear, missed my ribs by an inch = ae oe te ilgehedast ya! A bullet then grazed the back of my hand just to make it bleed. J 7 od “When I reached the river bank, which was nearly perpendicular, a shot came from the bottom, about twenty feet below and a Uttle to the left, which caused the wound I am supposed to have got, and was so curious that I was paraded before the gen- eral. It entered through the Hd of my right ammunition box pouch, which was open, went into my right coat pocket, smashing a penknife and two pencils, tore four holes in my shirt, made a sg) irface wound two or three inches long on my left breast and came out near my left shoulder through my coat and ammunition pouch braces.”” ee Damages. “ Frem Life.

GATHERINGS AT MONTELLO O NE OF THE FEW of the colored camp Meetings of the orig- inal pattern left is now in progress at Montello, a hillside rove of stately Pines near Langdon, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and 7 during the meetings @ large number of penitents have pro- ‘ fessed conversion and turned into the straight and narrow path. When a representative of The Star reached the camp ground Sunday night he found the grove in a blaze of light, fur- nished by a hundred or more torches, while on and near the grounds were a number of tents and lunch stands, around which thronged the colored population from the immediate neighborhood, Wash- ington and Maryland. From the arbor floated songs and more touching music than these pecple make was never heard— weird and simple, but sung as though every word came from the very depths of their Hearts. Hundreds of colored people were gathered under and near the arbor. They came from miles around in wagons and on foot to attend the services. The pulpit was a rude structure built of rough beards, and resembles an improvised eat- ing stand more than anything else. But away from the noise of the city, these peo- ple gather every summer in this grove to worship, according to their own peculiar way. ‘The meetings at Montello usually last from three to five weeks. They are not run for revenue only, and small collections do not lessen their zeal one whit. Their mode of taking up a collection is rather novel. First the basket is passed through the vast congregation, and then, while a brother “lines’? a hymn, which is sung with enthusiasm, the sisters and brothers walk up and placq their offerings on a table or the altar, and some of them step forward with as auch pomp as though taking part in a cake walk. They glory in this manner of contributing, and if the amount of the collevtion does not come up to the expectation of the minister, all he has to do is to simply say so, and the necessary sum 1s soon forthcoming. As a class the colored people are extremely Hb- eral in their support:of their churches and societies. 7 Characterintié! Negro Music. Unquestionably the feature of the meet- ing is the singing, whieh is led by the “singing bands” of Baltimore and Wash- ington. The singers Occujjy seats immedi- ately in front of the,pulpit and when sin- ners are invited to the .“tanxious bench, they sing portions of hytins, occasionally singing a made-for-the-#ccasion line or two, always winding up with a refrain. Refrains are alway} popular, and when the time comes the congtegation join in with a voice that makes’ the grove ring. Usually a number of'sisters line up facing the male singers and?as the singers warm up they duck their‘ heals, twist their bodies and clap their, hands in unison, while Joud ameris aré heard throughout the audience, and shouts and hallelujahs are frequent. If they are not happy .they deceive their looks and actions, although at times the acrobatic “singing bands’ look as wild aad weird as the witches which are said to have haupted Macbeth. Inexpres- sibly uncanny at times did the scene ap- pear as the fitful flicker of the torches threw their light up through the tall pines and over the swaying, surging mass of hu- manity. The Prayer Meetings. When the regular services are concluded, the season of prayer meeting begins, and then it is that the program seems to be of a catch-as-catch-can, go-as-you-please ar- rangement. If there is a leader, he or she is hard to single out, and frequently sev- eral are sending up supplications to the throne of grace at the same time, while others let out the fullness of their hearts by singing. When worked up to a very high pitch, they become almost frantic, and they have been known to go off in a trance and remain apparently unconscious for several hours. After “reviving,” they will tell wonderful stories of their visit to the mystic beyond, and no difference how entirely unreascnable their stories may appear, members will stand by and groan “amen’’ while they are being narrated. These trances are not of frequent occur- rence, but at every service there is long, loud and demonstrative shouting, often- times the shouter dropping to the ground from sheer exhaustion. They clap their hands and shout and sing until they can go no longer. In these evolutions they are encouraged by friends who gather around them, pat their backs.and sing. Closing for the Night. The sable singers ‘have shouted until they are hoarse; the lights are beginning to flick and flare; the large crowd has al- ready begun to thin out; the wagons of the country darkies are heard rumbling over the rough roads; the irreligious and impo- lite young white men, who stood around with heads unbared and smoked cigarettes, have departed; the dark forest is lighted by th? stars and fire-flies; the hour of mid- night {s near, and with still a iarge amount of zeal on hand the “singing band” closes the services with a made-to-order hymn running like this: We've left old Satan in the middle of the road, Nearer, my God, to Th2e! Ain't gwine to walk that road any more, Nearer, my God, to Th2e! Monday morning bright and fair, Nearer, my God, to The! Hope to meet in numbers there, Nearer, my God, to Thee! Lets’ shake a hand before we part, Nearer, my God, to Thee! And on to glory m: ‘aostart, Nearer, my God, to Th2e! Looking “Indian.” From the Philadelphia Leder, Somebody dropped # sti¢kpin in the hall the other day and had hard work to find it. She hunted high and Jéw,’and on her hands and knees, and with a candle, but it was no use. The pin was very tiny, its value be- ing due to association rdther than to size or brilliancy. The sémebody, after a final shake of the rugs, was abput to give it up forever, when one ofthe children chanced to come along. , “Why don’t you logk ‘Indian’ for it?” he asked, Before the samebody realized what was meant down dr d;the youngster on the floor, his head and his,whole body lying sidewise and just as close: to the dead ievel as possible. In this position his eyes roved rapidly over the floor. “& have it!” he shouted, and sure enough, right in the mid- dle of the floor, in so plain a place that it =e escaped notice, was the missing stick- pin. The youngster then explained that “look- | ing Indian” meant putting the head to the ground in order to catch sight of the small- est object between one's self and the hori- zon. “They do it on the plains all the time,” he said. “That's why they can al- Ways tell who’s coming. But it works in houses just as well as on the plains. Why, we never lose anything in the nursery now- adays; we just ‘look Indian’ and find it Tight off.” “i should like to see a real princess.” “That's easy; move out to our suburb and get a cook who thrsatens to leave SUMMER RESORTS. 21 SUMMER RESORTS.
