One thing that missionaries have to con-
tend with among the Alaskan Indians is
witchcraft. Many Of the tribes are still
in barbarism and their old doctors ana
medicine men" still have a fearful grip
on the people. 1t is said that WITHIN the

been carrying on some of their fiendish
work in several Of the villages. Witch
craft Is by no means a thing OF the past
in Alaska The civil officers have done
good work in lessening the number OF
open cases. but 1t IS the missionary who
must fight and extsrminate the spirit OF
witchcraft. In one village where there
was a prosperous congregation only two
people are found today standing for

while their parents are out OF their senses.

work and the classes have gone on with

ton to DR.. Gilbert. 1903 r street. this
city, and receive answer in The Star.
3S7. What became of the serpent which
Moses elevated on a pole when the Is
raelites were bitten by serpents?
Answer. See II Kings. Xviii:4.
3SS Is the prohibition laid upon women
in / Cor. xiv:34 still in force?
Answer. Some think so. claiming that
in public religious services woman must
be subordinated to man. for her good and
for the good of the social life OF the peo-
pie generally. Others say, without any
attempt at proof, that this was a tenn
porary provision made necessary by the
conditions then prevailing in the church
and in the state. but that owing to
changed conditions women may be al
lowed to speak in miscellaneous oongre-
cations.

met by heavy selling the part OF several re-
eeivers, and although an advance was prevented
all of the stock offered was quickly taken up at
23c pound, price the selling interests con-
sidered too high for storing According to posted
handlers prices being kept up by dealers
who are arranging to bring in large lines of
eastern butter, their idea being to prevent the
storing of California butter at low prices so tina I
they undersell the home product with their
imported eastern goods later in the season.
The quota tions for eggs unchanged, ex-
tras being steady to firm rather light sup
plies, while the under grades were still in over

day and prices for several descriptions which had
previously been quite firm were inclined to sag,
though there were no sharp declines. Green peas
were notable exception. supplies of that article
being barely sufficient for current needs. Light

string beans were lower increased arrivals
and cucumbers dragged badly. Egg plant from

and quotations for summer squash from the same

fore quoted but clearances could not be effected
with the usual dispatch. In the onion market

the Bermuda variety was very weak, with deal
