An old writer, Bertram, alluding TO
the customs of the Florida Indians of
his day, thus described a soFtof oFea1a-
ton practioed among them: The
dead are placed Oh an elevated stage
till dried up, when q set Of olitosly
gentlemen, with very long 0ails on the
thumb, fore and middle fingers, who
travel through the nation, take the
skeleton down, scraPe thosbdnes, bdsn
the scrapings, ssnd, after painting the
head vermillion, deposit the bones IL q
chest, weep over the remains, anA th6n
lay them on the shelf for 8 yr..~.At
the end of that period the friends and
relatives gather around, take the chest
down, weep over it, refresh the color Of
the head, paint the box red, and then
deposit him to lasting oblivion. An
enemy and suicide are considered un-
worthy such ceremomes."
