TO BE CONTINUED.


When one is in the dying agony the
relatives give vent to their grief in
loud walls. The crying continues at
intervals until death takes place, and
also up to the time OF burial. The cry.
says writer in the Journal of Amcri-
can Folklore. has teen by some
white person mistaken for a song or
chant. but it in no way partakes of
that character; It is genuine express
sion of anguish and grief. The wall
or cry is interspersed with terms which
express the relationship between the
deceased ard the person grieving.
The writer has many times heard the
cry OF InC!an men and women. and has
seen the tears flow down their checks
There is something truly awful in the
sound when men and women together
lift up their voices in the wall OF grief
1t is far from being like song o..
chant.
When the breath has left the body
of the one dying. the nearest relatives.
such as parent or child, brothers or
sisters. husband or wife. begin with u
mad zeal to strip themselves OF every
ornament and cut their hair, scattering
shorn locks about the fireplace. The
children clip the hair short to the ear,
while the young women part with IN
inch or two. Young men do not sacrl-
flee their locks. but the older men
shear theirs short The older women
pull of their leggings and moccasins
and cash the flesh OF their legs below
the knee. lengthwise and crosswise.
till the blood flows freely. All the
while they wall and call upon tho dead.
The young men remove their leggins
and moccasins. and pierce their legs
with a sharp knife until the blood runs
last from the wounds. The old men
do not scarify themselves. rs
With every new arrival. whether
the person be OF near kin or not, the
wailing starts afresh. BY this long
continued crying, the excitement OF
grief, and the pain OF wounds, the
relatives become exhausted before the
time for burial arrives. and unable to
speak above 4 whisper Soon after
death the corpse is placed in a sitting
position facing the east, and dressed

Alcoholism in Australia.

There is no country in which so high
q condition OF general comfort, so
lofty a standard of proved intelligence.
and such large and varied means to
intellectual excellence exist side by
side with 80 much turbulence, so lax q
commercial morality, and such over
charged statistics of drunkenness and
crimes of violence. Why should q
people which is among the best edu-
Gated in the world be also among the
least commercially sound, the rowdi-
est, and the most drunken? Let there
be no mistake about tho question or
about the charges which are involved
in it. Australian insolvencies are to
British as four to one. Convictions
in Australia are to. convictions in the
United Kingdom as two to one. The
figures given by Mr. HI. II. Hayter, G.
M. g., Government Statist of Victor
ia, though apparently clouded with a
purpose, prove the last charge beyond
the chance of refutation. The highest
percentage OF deaths from the abuse
OF alcohol is recorded in Australia. 1t
is 113 as against 80 even in Switzer-
land, and as against 40 In England
and Wales. In the figures given the
issue is confused by the introduction
of the statistics of "towns" and "prin-
cipal towns" of some few countries,
though even there Paris reaches no
higher than 95 and London falls to
"a. In Ireland the deaths from alco-
holism are only little over aquarter
of those registered for the Australias.
The towns of Denmark rise to the aw-
full average Of 274, but it is evident
that o full statement of the facts
would reduce it greatly The Con-

European climatic Changes.

From statistics which M. Flammar-
ion has gathered he shows that in
every part of France and the Conti-
nent during the past six years the
thermometer has been getting lower
and lower, the fall being more notice
able in the Spring than in the other
seasons of the year. Great Britain
shows similar excess Of cold weather,
while, strange to say, Denmark, Nor
way, Sweden, and Russia, which we
have been accustomed to regard as
cold countries, have during the past
four years had higher temperature
than that to which they are accus-
toned. M. ILLUMINATION goes further
back than this, and quotes history to
show that in past years many trees
which once fourished in Northern
Fl ance are now found only in the
south, while others have disappeared
altogether. Among these are named
the lemon, which no longer grows at
Languedoc; the orange, which has de-
serted Rousillon; and the Lombardy
poplar, which has disappeared from
the country altogether. He also
points out that many noted vintaqes
have ceased to be, owing to the I'M
possibility Of growing the grapes under
the altered climatic conditions.
