about FIVE million pounds. As show
ing the rapid advance Of the country
in prosperity. the tax which produced
about seven hundred and ten thousand

Among the Indians Of Alhskn liV.
ing along the rock -bOuLd coast Of the
Berlng sea many old customs prevail,
and II is still believed that when a
man dies he must pass forward
through four successive stdges before
nc reaches heaven. Thus his mourn
ers and family must spend four days
and nights in chanting songs or. 81
ing of his virtues and must ent only
the foods OF which he was fond. At
the end OF that time the body of the
dead man Is wrapped into a bundle
and is hauled up through the roof
by strong ropes that the corpse may
not pass through any door used by
the living. Cremation follows and the
ashes are put into bag and stored In
the great wooden chests which fill
the family grave house"
In the old days these ceremonies or
those four days were very elaborate,
and the songs and chants used strik-
ing in their sOlemnity. Now, how
ever. much has been mOdernized, hut
tlVFy still dislike the thought Of en-
tering door through which a body
has been carried.

Washington, d. CA curious fact
