Burial Customs.

The modes of burial differ widely among
various peoples, from the rudest ceremonies
and methods 70 the wandering tribes to the
ornete, impressive, reverent services of "the
heir of all ages, in the foremost files of time. :"
Among some, the dead are buried lying.
others sitting. a. is the case With several of
the Indian tribes; and instances are related
where warriors or leaders in the nations have
been buried seated upon their favorite war
horse, rs was done with the famous Black
bird, the Chief of the once powerful Omahas.
Bat there is q remarkable agreement Of Gus
tom for the practice of placing the body east
and west. Sometimes the body is placed
with the head to the east and sometimes to
the west. 1t is held by certain writer's that
this custom is due to solar symbolism, and
the head is placed to the east and to the west,
according as the dead are thought of in con-
nection with the sunrise, the reputed home
of the Deity. or the sunset. the reputed home
of the dead. There are, however, some tribes
that Law their dead north and south, and
others bury men with the face to the north
and women with the face to the south while
among some of the Africans, if one happens
to die away frow his home, he is buried fac
ing his native village.
