Curious ola Custom.

In one OF the suburbs Of Paris q
wealthy merchant died the other day.
and on the evening OF the funeral his
neighbors witnessed curious cere-
mony.
An hour before the body was to be
taken to the cemetery the relatives Of
the dead man, five or six in number,
went out into the garden adjoining the
house and walked solemnly and silent
ly around it. Each carried lantern
and kept his eyes fixed on the ground,
as though he were looking for some
thing. Finally they all halted in front
of large pile of stones and, laying
aside their lanterns. proceeded TO throw
down the pile. After every stone had
been removed they examined mlnutely
the spot Oh which the pile had rested
and then slowly and with bowed heads
returned to the house.
This is an old Norman custom, and it
Is observed in this instance because the
dead man was native of Gison. There
is Il tradition In Normandy that before
burying Il body aII the ground around
his dwelling should be searched in or
der TO make sure that the soul has not
hidden itself somewhere At one time
every family in Normandy faithfully
observed this tradition, but now uuly
few pay heed to it.
