Influence Of Temperature on Health.

In the fall the difference between the tempera-

A Singular Custom.

The moment the breath leaves the body,
1t is hastily arrayed in the finest robe
which the purse of the relative will per
NIT, and hustled away by some official of
government to building in the cemetery
prepared for its reception. Here the body
is elevated on sort of inclined plane,
which is covered with flowers the quality
of the flowers, too, depends on the purse
OF the friends, whether they are natural,
fragrant blossoms, or those manufactured
oftin, paper or rags. The body is envelop-
ed in these often tawdry limitations, and
upon the thumbs are placed two small
rings, which are attached to slender wires
suspended from the center of the build
ing, and which, of course, enter the room
above. Here, at the end of the wires, bells
are arranged, and the slightest movement
OF the body will cause vibration in the
wire and sound from the bell Here sits a
person ever in waiting for summons from
some one Of the corpses below.
The osteDsible reason given for this
inhuInan custom of tearing the dead from
their homes, and having them thus expcs
ed in building open to every one who
May choose to enter, is the possibility that
life may not have become extinct, and yet,
after faithful inquiries, we have not been
able to learn of one instance where the
watcher was rous ed by the ringing of the
bell
Rich and poor are alike laid here, though
the same cxclusivencss which separated
them in life is maintained here by their
friends. The building is divided into two
COMPARTMENTS; the largest and most at
tractive room, with its subdued light, is, of
course, occupied by the rich, while the
simpler one is used by the poor The
decorations of the finest room are often on
grand scale. We noticed here one little
infant not over month old, dressed in
robe of white silk, covered with a tulle,
! and bordercd with r CHI blonde lace; this
child occupied space long enough for an
adult, and the arrangement of the robe
gave it the appearance of trail two yards
long. On it's head was little cap, border
ed with wreath of flowers. A sad con-
! trsst was the innocent baby face, in the
quiet sleep Of death, to this disgusting, os-
tentations display about it.
1t was not curiosity which led us to look
upon such scene, bat a desire to satisfy
our. selves of its existence, and by q
moments stay we were assured not only
of that but of its wickcdness also; for
while we glanced at two sweet little chill
dr.; n lying side by side, a mother dressed
IN deep mourning came to take her last
look at her little one. AS she stood among
crowd of indifferent lockers on, hearing
-cmarks as to which one was dressed beau
ifully and which Was not, the great tears
:olled slowly down her cheeks, and the
sobs came deep and strong. Unable to
restrain them, and unwilling thus to ex-
pose her sacred grief, she turned hurricdly
away, and thus parted from her dead for.
