CORPUS CHRISTI DAY
 OBSERVED IN BERLIN
This Religious Festival Observed for First Time in About 400
 Years.

Berlin, July 31 Pl-For the first time in 400 years, Corpus Christi 6ay was celebrated recently at the German capital by a public pro- ccssion. This is taken as evidence Of the much more tolerant attitude of the republican regime as con- pared with the old monarchical. Ur1- der the monarchy, the official state religion of Prussia was Protestant. and the king was at the same time titular head of the church. Cath olic processions such as are cus- tomary In Bavaria, for instance, on Corpus Christi day were forbidden.
 St. Hedwig's Roman Catholic church early on Corpus Christi day opened It's doors to the accompani- ment of trombones to let ut pro- cession of men, women and children followed by monks and priests in ec- clesiastical robes, and nuns ana finally by the archbishop under canopy. At four altars he Invoked Gods blessing on the crops, and con cluded with a prayer for tho world salvation from disease and misery war and hunger.

ALASKA LETTER

The weather for the past two
weeks has been varying between
SO to 20 below, here and in the
vicinity. Even some of the old
timers admit that it reminds
them of old times. When the
weather gets real cold here there
is a haze hanging close to the
ground resembling a fog; when
ever you see this haze you can
make up your mind it is real
winter.
The wood piles are fast disap-
pearing, it is so cold that very
few can be persuaded to haul
any. except a dissolute character
known as the Vanilla Kid" so
called on account of his ability
to drink vanilla extract. having
at one time drank seventy-fve
dollars worth, before the store
keeper who he was working for
detected the loss. Others around
here have drank an equal amount,
but it is not looked on with much
favor as everybody knew about
it, at the time. The Vanilla Kid
makes a. living at performing
such work as nobody else at the
time wants. such as swimming
horses across the rivers. making
long trips into the interior, shoe
ing horses. taking care of wild
cats and eagles in captivity, work
ing in the laundry nights and
many other jobs, that come up.
At the present time he is per-
mitted to haul wood in fifty be-
low.
Trains are still running al
though they are having some
time getting through the snow
belt. At several times this win
ter the trains have been snow
bound out in the wilderness and
had to remain all night, waitin
for the rotary snow plows to dig
them out. But the Transports
ton of copper must go; nothing
that can be overcome is allowed
to interfere. The boats have
been running regularly so far
this winter in spite Of the severe
weather,
