named Eagle. who had lost his wife
by death. Eagle saw that in the
spring the trees became green again
and full of leaves, after the deafness
vived, and he begged Coyote In the
same way to restore his dead wife.
After he had entreated Coyote a
long time for this boon, Coyote con-
scented to go to the Land Of the Bless
ed and bring back the souls Of
the dead to earth. so he and
Eagle set out together. They
found the spirits of the dead
very happy in the island of the
Blessed Nevertheless. Coyote caught
them and put them in a box to bring
them back to earth and put them in
bodies of flesh again. AS he and
Eagle neared earth and the spirits
began to take on flesh again. the box
became very heavy and the inmates
begged that 1t might be opened to

Many Natives Have Be-
 COme Christians.

Rev. o. r. Anderson. of the Swedish Evangelical Mission, Golovin bay, who was in town ths week, states that there has been "a great revival of religion the past winter, and, that as a result, l3l natives have been baptized and re- ceived into the church. The result of this spread of religion among the na- tives is seen in their mode of living all along the coast. and they are leading sober, industrious lives.
 "In the Orphan home at Golovin the children are doing well. There has been little sickness among the natives, except skin afflictions with which many of them are troubled during the winter season. The school has between 50 and 60 pupils.
 "FOOd has not been very pie ntful among the natives, owing to the severe winter but there has been no suffering. Flour especially, has been scarce at the Golovin bay stores. The reindeer got through the winter very well de- spite the unprecedentedly heavy snow fall. The fawning season is now on, and there promises to be quite an in- crease this year. Mr. Anderson thinks that the reindeer will give a good account of themselves yet for var ious purposes. but it takes time to ac- complish the desired end.
