One OF the most curious burial Gus
toms still existing in Ireland and in
Somersetshire, England, is that of
placing salt upon the breast of n corpse
as soon as it has been properly laid
OUT on the cooling board. In Eng
land, where the custom still prevails
among a people who boot the imputa-
ton of being superstitious, it is claim
ed that til done in order 'to prevent
air from getting into the corpse, and
thus swelling and bloating it," Camp
bell and Moresin both refer to the prac-
tice as a survival of old-time supersti-
tious burial rites. They quote largely
from ancient writers to prove that
early Christians all regarded salt as ar
emblem of Immortality and eternity,
and that on such accounts it was an
GENTLY used in the manner above
mentioned. Hartman is authority for
the statement that the early Germans
not only put salt under the tongues of
their dead, but also put little cylinders
of rock salt in the right hand of the
sick as soon as it was learned that such
persons were near deaths door.
In most heather countries, where all
kinds of superstition prevails. salt is
used as a charm in frightening away
evil spirits. and it is alleged that the
Patagonians frequently strangle their
children to death by forcing salt down
their threats to drive out devils.
