As soon as ho was seen to dying the
executioners began to scour the streets

They were strangled at the funeral. So
were six pages, who, similarly painted
and adorned, sat by tho dead man. They
had known their fate some days before,
but none ran away save three wives of
low birth, whose places were at once
supplied by girls. For nine days the
slaughter went on, people fasting,
with heads and bodies painted
red. but drinking all the more. And
this death wake was to be repeated forty
days after.
When a king dies the victims are slain
at tho rate of a week for three
months. But there have been
than these. A king's mother
died in 1810; her son slaughtered
people, being prisoners just cap-

tale, every big town had to
give up every smaller town ten

Then just before the earth is thrown in

hung with silk curtains.
Then on his birthday the king of
tee goes early to the house of the royal
dead. Every skeleton is taken from its
richly ornamented coffin, where it has
lain surrounded by the things which had
been most pleasing to it in life, and is
placed on a chair to welcome its visitor.
As tho king enters each cell with a meat
and drink offering to the departed, the
baud plays tho favorite melodies of that
particular king, and, unawares, the royal
visitor signs to executioners, who
have followed him, and an attendant is
pierced through checks and killed,

Of course this constant killing makes the

California's Redwood Forests.
The magnificent redwoods which ex-
tend along the coast ranges, from Mont-
bay to constitute of course
the chief timber resources of the state.
It is from forests that the major
part of the used in the state since
the American occupation has been ob-
The drain on these forests has
necessarily been enormous. In those red-
wood forests adjacent to San Francisco
bay, and lying in counties of San
Santa Cruz. Sonoma,
and Alameda, most of the mer-
timber in tho original growth
has been removed long ago. Fortunately
tho denudation of these forests has not
produced a scene if utter desolation, such
as is sometimes in the mind as
following in the wake of the lumber-
man's ax. In the greater portion of
these worked over forests, where the
stumps have not been removed to make
way for fruit tree or vine, the great
vitality of tho redwood has asserted
itself, and a dense growth of saplings has
sprung from the mutilated butts and are
rapidly approaching a merchantable con-
Tho same phenomenon of nature re-
storing tho redwood forests is witnessed
in such parts of Mendocino and Hum-
counties as the lumberman
already culled. An interesting
of the renewal of these magnificent
forest trees is presented in the canyons on
the east side of the Contra Costa and Ala-
comity range, within a few miles
of this city, and along the forest clad
slopes of Mount and the
ranges of Sonoma and Naps counties.
The redwood forests on range east of
St Helena, in tho latter county, supplied
all the ties used in construction of
the Valley railway, and the new
growth has been drawn upon for years
past for posts and stakes for tho vine-
yards orchards that are taking
