How the Fiiiplnos Bury Their Dead.

A Manila correspondent of an Amer ican newspaper says that the Filipinos do not bury their dead under ground but in tiers of masonry. In Manila. Paco cemetery is the most important place of burial. The high walls of masonry in which are the long vaults. each the size for one body, are built in circles. one within the other, with a walk between. As the coffin is thrust in the vault the mourners rend the air with their walls. but they stand by quietly while it is sealed with bricks and mortar. when the final crevfce had been filled they quietly disperse. These vaults are hired, not bought. of the church. and when the rent is not forthcoming the body is torn out, nc matter in what state of preservation. and the vault rented to some one else who can afford to pay. The bones thus desecrated are thrown in a heap in 9 place prepared for the purpose, where there is a large and gruesome colIee- ton.
