A collection of dolls lias been ro-
coivod by Mrs. I ietchor s. Bassett of
Chicago, which has an interest not
to b'> measured by its attraction for
children. These strange dolls aro
from the Mo.jui Indians of Arizona,
and represent tlie lesser gods of
tiio Mo [ul Olympus, resplendent in
bright paint and eagle feathers.
Tho tirst detailed description of one
of these Moqui dolls was published
in tho l'olklorist. tho journal of
the Chicago Folklore society, bv tho
late A M. Stephens of Arizona Mr.
Stephens lived for many years union;;
tho Mo (ui. and his writings aro the
only authority on tho subject of
these Mo.jui dolls and their coro-
monial significance. In describing
tho dolls ami the ceremony at their
distribution. Mr. stephens said:
"Tho ceremonial and making a
distribution of tho ti-hu (native
name of the dolls, is an interesting
subject and eommoft to all tho vil-
lage peopio, but with tlio llopi many
of these obsoi vanccs are lost or dulled
in significance through Innovations
and changed environments.
"Ostensibly they are made as gifts
to tho younger femalo children and
presented to them under circum-
stances leading them to believe that
they were prepared especially for
them by tho Katcina, and in this ro-
spoct are quite analogous to our
child gifts from Santa Clans. But
tho llopi doll bus a widor signiti-
canco, as through it tho children re-
ceive thoir first instructions con-
cerning the attributes and functions
of the great host of beneficent in-
termediaries called Katcina
••These ti-hu, ellU'ios or dolls, dis-
play all degrees of excellence or Im-
perfections, according to the skill
of tho porson making them, some
with merely tho crudest, suggestion
of features, while in others every
detail of the Katcina is reproduced
with elaborate nicety. But in each
the prescribed colors ami emblems
of the Katcina which it is intended
to represent are strictly conformed
to either in imitation or convention-
ally, and tho simpler folklore tales
conserning it aro told to tho chil-
dren by thelr'narents.
"At tbo protracted religious ob-
servance, beginning with tho ad-
vent of the February moon, beuns
are densely planted in largo basins
* nnd other vessels in each Klva, and

emony tho girls may be -eon tod-

"On the culminating duy of

A MUSICAL MOUNTAIN.
Sweet sound*, I IKo tin* Tinkling of Hull*.
Made There.
In the old Truckeo mining district,
down tho Truckoo river, near Pyra-
mid lake, is situated Nevada's mus-
ical mountain. This* mountain was
11 rat discovered by tho whito settlers
in IS08, at which time there was
some excitement in regard to#the
mines found in that neighborhood.
Tho discoverers were a party of pro9-
poetors from Comstock.
They had pitched their tent at the
foot of tho mountain, and for a few
evenings thought themselves be-
witched, says tho Virginia City
Kuterprise. Ka. h - v ning i littlo
after dark, when the air was calm
and all was quiet, a mysterious con-
cert began. Out from iho faoo of
,the big mountain wero wafted soft
strains that soemod to cause tho
whole atmosphere to quiver as they
floated over tho caiup. Tho music
then appeared to pass over until it
was far, far away, and almost lost
in tho distance, when, beginning
; with a tinkliug as of many littlo
silver hells, thore would he a fresh
^ust of sweet notes from the moun-
I tain.
During tho daylight hours little
of tho mysterious music v/as hoard
and it was settled that it was not
caused by the wind. A spring near
which the explorers had pitehod
thoir tent afforded tho only good
! camping ground in the neighbor-
hood, and as each now party of pros-
pectors arrived at tho spot tho won-
der grew.
Somo Piute Indians who camo
along and camped at the springs
wore found to bo acquainted with
the peculiar musical character of
tho mountain. They called it tho
••singing mountain."
I Somo of tbo men collected in tho
cairtp because more interested in the
mountain than in prospecting and
gave most of their time to an inves-
tigation of tho mystery of tho musi-
cal sounds heard to proceed from it.
They found that the whole faco of
the mounta in was covered with tbIo
Hakes of a hard crystalline rock.
Thoro were great bod.-, of these Hakes.
