ODD BURIAL CUSTOMS.
Some Strange Observance< Among
Australian Tribes.

There are some queer customs OBJ
served by the native Australians. their
modes Of disposing of the dead being
noticeable and varied. When a mother
loses a favorite child she carries the
dead body about with her in box or
casing of bark until decomposition
forces her to dispose Of it either oy
burial or fire.
In the case of some prominent person
OF the tribe dying his nearest relatives
cut off lis hands and keep them as
sacred remembrances. only parting WIN
them after the odor FROM the dead
members has become unendurable.
Then they are thrown into q stream
hidden in hollow tree or burned.
Women are held in such contempt
among the Australian tribes that often
they receive no burial at all, and II
rare thing to see one incurred for .!
family and friends. But at the funeral
Of man or boy the lamentations are

Marie Corelli's first story. IA Ro

her name, was sent to the London
publishing house Of Bentley. Hall
Game was the principal reader OF that
house, and his report condemned the
book so strenuously that it was re.
jected. Miss Corelli was deeply dis
coura ged. but after some time SIZE was
persuaded to send the manuscript to
another publisher. He accepted it
eagerly and made big fortune out
Of it and out Of her later novels.

JACOB RIIS' DEDUCTIONS
Gets Figures From Health Office to
Show Washington Is One of the
Healthiest of Cities.

George w King. Of 1925 Thirty-seeond
Street northwest has received from the
Health Officer of the District a record
OF the mortality in the District for the
week ending December &c 1903. Mr.
King, after careful study Of the rec
ORD. has found that over 50 per cent OF
the deaths in this period ranged in age
from hfty to ninetythree. showing won
derful longevity in the District
Mr.. King contends that Washington
Is one OF the healthiest localities in the
United States. in contradiction of the
statements made by JACOB Riis. of New
York, and says the record received from
the Health Office proves his assertions.
me records show that the average age
oI the deceased persons in the week end
ing December 26. was for the whites.
40 years. and for the colored. 325 years.
The total number of deaths in the Dis
trlct for the week was, white, %. and
cOlored, 43, of which number there were
white infants and colored. ali of
whom were one year or less in age.
In communication from the Board
OF Charities, received by Mr. King. Il
IS said there were admitted to the hos
pitfalls with which they are connected
though this does not include all of the
hospitals in the District-174. of which
number Il were white and 100 colored.
Sixteen Of this number were non-resi-
dents, or about 10 per cent of the entire
number
This corroborates Mr.. Kings state
ment that many from the adjacent
States come TO the District hospitals for
treatment. many of whom die, thus in
creasing the death rate in the District.
