Every little phratry and Bub-phratry
in the Wolf and Raven clam, into
which the Thllnglts are divided, feels
in honor bound to hold a grand Jambo
ree to celebrate the death of the least
of its members. When a chief pnpaos
in his cheeks the occasion is made
memorable by a potlatch, or feast, on
so enormous a scale as frequently to
bankrupt his heir, the giver thereof,
for life. It Is a gorgeous opportunity
for wholesale gormandizing which
every Thiinglt would rather die himself
than miss.
A Recent Cremation.
Volotskol, a noted chief of the Wolf
clan, was gathered to his fathers re
cently in a little village near Prince
Frederick Sound. The festivity "to
glorify the dead" held in his honor
broke all funeral records throughout
Alaska. Up to date more than a dozen
deaths have been the results of the por
cine stuffing indulged In by the mourn
ers, who consisted of the greater part
of the Haven clan. A singular fact in
connection with Thlinglt burials is that
the guests must always be chosen from
the opposite clan. Bo as Volotskoi was
Wolf, the guests were Ravens.
As VoIolFkoi was only a chief an'J
not a shaman or sorcerer, he was cre
mated. Had he been a shaman his
remains would have been deposited in
t box swung high between two posts.
If there had been any such useful In
itiation as a board of health In the
neighborhood of Prince Frederick
Sound, Brother Volotskol would have
been buried several days earlier. Aa
It was, It was not necessary to Inquire
the way to the house of woe. For
tunately, your correspondent had been
through a preparatory course of Bleep
ing in Eskimo huts, and close contact
with the natives, and was by that time
jolfactorily invulnerable.
No time wtis set for the cremation.
he guests Just drifted into the village
,t thi'ir own good leisure, and when a
ajnrlty of them felt it was time for
the circus to begin the ceremony was
lommenced. .
Barbaric Ultra.
A funeral pyre had been erected Just
utslile the village soon after Chief
nlotsknl passed In his checks, and
hen the guests were good and ready
elr noble friend was carried to the
He of fagots. Old Pop Volotskol, an he
as enlled by the prospectors who hud
Joyed the distinguished, if somewhat
pensive, honor of his acquaintance,
4 attended many a potlatch himself
A weighed nearly 300 pounds. It took
stout Thlinglto to tote him to the
ce.
e funeral procession was strlklnrr-
lnformr.1. Everybody Just sauntered
'iR any old way, the mourners howl-
In a dozen different keys. A bihrI!

nce of Dawson dance halls,

Self-Tortured Mourner.
He the relatives and guests gath
troimd In a Eolemn circle, the
' lvnlted. The relatives wept
fowled and crooned and keened,
,ne Kuests started systematically
rk themeclven Into an advanced
f seeming epilepsy. The Prince
k Sound I'hllnglts boast of tor-
tlie;r,selve3 in a most horrible
r while the body of a friend Is
cess of cremation. On this oc-
special deputation from Prince
Inland graced the scenu and
little best to make thinks llve-
1 looked for a l-ng time as If
wulil be a hnlf dozen impromp-
wnientary funerals on the spot.

Ckaattaa; tha Dlrae.
After the body had been thoroughly
cremated all the guests followed the
widow to her broken home, where they
seated themselves around her. Then
the relatives, their hair cropped and
burned, and their faces blackened and
otherwise disfigured, entered the hut
and walked to the centre of the circle,
where they leaned upon sticks, bowed,
their heads and hegan to chant the
funeral dirge.
It may not be believed, but this same
dirge was sung by the relatives for six
mortal hours, and when they broke
down the guests took up the weird re
frain. They howled in relays, stopping
alternately for refreshments, so that
the death song lasted contlnuourly four
days and as many nights.
Snr rlllce of Slavea.
As Volotskol had been a rich man
and full of wisdom, u ay nothing ot
seal blubber, his relatives, to honor his
memory, went out every two or three
houra and killed one of his slaves.
There is a popular Action among de
partmental circles In Washington that
slavery no longer exists in Alaska,
which shows how much a few wise
acres, several thousand miles away,
who are trying to govern at long range
j r. territory two and one-half times as
large as the Lone Star State, know
j about that same territory. When Kus-
sla owned Alanka slavery was practised
openly; now It's practiced secretly
j that's the only difference. The Alas
I kan slaves haven't read the Fifteenth
Amendment and don't know they're
free.
Not Top SttU to IOnt.
All this time everybody was eating
as much as he prxslbly could, the men
taking the choice morsels and the wom
en contenting themselves with the
scraps. Among the delicacies on the
bill of fare were ulikan, or candle fish,
herring, herring spawn, cakes made of
herring spawn and herbs and berries
boiled together and pressed Into solid
blocks, strawberries, huckleberries,
salmon berries, raspberries, thlmble
berrle3, salal, seaweed cakes, Beal blub
ber, whale steaks, moose steaks and
Alaskan moss. There were also piles
of potatoes fried In porpoise oil.
Dlatrlbotloa of Gifts.
On the fourth day following the cre
mation, which marked the end of the
period of mourning, the relatives of the
dear departed washed the black off
their faces, striped those same visages
like barber poles and distributed pres
ents to the guests. These gifts 'Con
sisted of everything under the sun,
from a brand-new Winchester rifle, for
the richest guest, to a worn out horse
blanket for the poorest. Volotskol's
heir, who was his sister's son, was ut
terly ruined by the extravagance of
the occasion. Before the old man died
the youngster was tolerably well-to-do;
his inheritance made him a pauper. A
close count showed that he gave away
more than twelve hundred presents. Tt
pays to be a professional mourner In
Alaska.
When the hullabaloo was over, VoI t
skot's ashes were placed In a tin
box which had formerly contnlr '
soda crackers, and were burled three
feet under the floor of his hut. Thin
was done in order that his ghost mlf.ht
not only feel at homo, but might make
the life of his widow a burden If she
should ever dnre to Install a Mr. Volot
skol No. 2 In the establishment. Old
Pop Volotskol was very fond of his
wife.

After spending $19.1.(1110 during the

has just made auuther uppropriution of

than it takes to collect it of the tax
! payers and go marching on in couul-
U.-H millions more ready to meet the
I iievt uttnek.
I Mr. KcriinUI, the entomologist of the
Massachusetts state board of agricul
ture, estimates that It will require $'M0,.
I t'UO a yeur for the next live years, then
SltiO.OOU u yeur for five years more and
then another period of live yeursul $13.
Olio per year $1,575,000 in all to ex
tirpate this pent. This, of course, is say
ing nothing r,f the hundreds of thou
sands of tiollurs' damage that will lie
ilotie in the meantime to trees ntul
crops.
Ami, says the New York World, it
all came about because a Vrciirliman
"S years ago left a tray standing by an
.ipen window where the xviiul whisked
its contents out to. the ground below
and tlieu scattered them hither and
thither. The Frenchman was Mr.Trou
vdot and the contents of the tray were
eggs of the gypsy moth Mr. Trouvelot
hud brought with him to Massachusetts
from I'aris. The Frenchman knew the
mischief he hail inadvertently wrought,
for he knew the gypsy moth knew its
astounding breeding powers nnd knew
the damage, it had done in France. No
living creature, unless it be the Austra
lian rabbit, has such tremendous ca
pacity for reproduction us this Uevni;tat
ing moth or worm.
In a few years after 1hnt unlucky
puff of wind in the vicinity of Medford
had sown the seed fully 30 townships
in MaKHichuHctts were being ravaged
by the moth. It was like trying to bail
out the ocean with u spoon for Indi
vidual farmers or even committees to
make war upon the invaders. Where

thousands were killed hundreds of
thousands sprang up in a night to tnicc
their places and breed millions more.
It was evident that there must be
something: niore thoji spasmodic effort
j ut extermination or the state of Massa
chusetts would bo stripped bare of
i folinge. So Gov. Urackctt called the
attention of the legislature to the sub-
i jeet nud seven years ago tho war on
, tne eTyi,8V moth which has been raging
was formally declared. IIoxv little the
I Massachusetts statesmen knexv the for-
iniilable nature of the foe they xvere
lighting Is shoxvu by tho iusig-nilicancc
Uf tho sum they appropriated $25,000
to carry on the conflict. They might
us well have throxvn their money to
the winds. The next year the moths
xvere worse than they bad ever been
before, and they have been growing
steadily worse from year to year ever
since.
Hut Massachusetts has not thus far
followed the lead of Australia in calling
upon tho world for help in exterminat
ing her prolific rabbits and offering
enormous rewards for any recipe that
would destroy titcin. Massachusetts
has undertaken her oxvn fight and
seems nt last to realize the magnitude
of xvlint she hart on her linnds. It is
truo that at a former session of con
gress Massachusetts did oak for an ap
propriation of $ 10,000 to help her carry
on the war. lint congress declined.
It xvas decided to take no part in an
insect xvar that xvas entirely local. So
Massachusetts was li ft to work out her
oxvn enlvution, nnd Hhe has gone into
the task with ell her trnditiuuul energy
of purpose.
