CLEARING Themselves.

Among the many means adopted for
expressing grief upon the death of a
relative perhaps as interesting one
as any is that met with in the neigh
borhood of the Tully river, in Queens
land. Here two. three or four of the
deceased friends or relatives will squat
close together. with hands on each 9th
er's shoulders. bewailing for hours at
a time the loss of the dear departed
1t is not the virtues of the latter that
are in any way extolled. however
What these mourners are really taking
care to do is to show that they and the
deceased were always good friends.
Their object in all this is to prove to
the outside public that they have had
nothing to do with the encompassing
of the death.-Wide World Magazine.

Vast Forests of Alaska.

We hear much concerning the rapid
disappearance of our forests. The vast
timbered area of the eastern and cen
trail portions of the United States is
fast being transformed into wOOdless
country. becoming very. tricky popu
lated. and doubtless will never grow
much timber again. In Alaska. which
is one of our territories, the timber
area is estimated to be somewhere near
30 per cent of the entire land. and
there is considerably more than 100.-
100000 acres of good woodland, with
timber that is of such a value its real
worth cannot be estimated. 1t will
require years to even make any marked
Impression on such a vast forest-Phil-
adelphia North American.

effect that Attorney Clom Quinn Is be-
