Painting Skulls.

A strange custom, dating back to the

painting of skulls. The small size of
most cemeteries in these regions makes
it necessary to regularly remove thu
skeletons OF the buried who have lain
there eight or ten years, to make room
for newcomers. The relatives OF the dead
thus to be exhumed are generally not-
fed before the removal, so tnat they eau
attend TO the cleaning of the skeleton and
be present at its deposit in the so-called
"bonehouse'' or "charnel-house." ON
such occasions the skull is often orna-
