FILIPINO FUNERALS.


Picturesque For the Rich and Pa
thetic For the Poor.
One of the most striking things to be
seen OH the streets of Manila is Fill
Pine funeral. If the deceased was
wealthy and had hosts of friends, the
funeral will be headed by band play
Ing selections from comic operas. The
body of the deceased follows in a
hearse covered with black cloth ar
ranged in grewsome design and
drawn by six Slack ponies, each be-
decked with headgear Of long black
feathers The hearse will be followed
by men on foot wearing knickerbock-
ers and cooked hats, and after them
follow innumerable vehicles of every
description. If the body is to be in
TERED, the gravediggers will precede
shoulders.
Most Filipino funerals, however, are
more pathetic. The father Of few
weeks old baby will trot out to the
cemetery entirely alone, with the little
white coffin balanced well on his head,
and if man had not the price Of q
vehicle his remains will be carried out
on bamboo poles by four Cinnamon,
and the coffin will be one that has seen
service before.
The natives have different ways Of
burial. Some bodies are put into the
ground, while the larger majority are
placed in inches in the wall of the
cemetery. A slab cemented into the
opening of the niche contains brie1
biography of the deceased.

visiting Cards In Italy.

In Italy, says Luigi Villari in italian
Life In Town and Country" you are
the slave of the visiting card. If
gentleman is casually introduced to
married lady, even if he does not ex-
change two words with her, he must
leave his card for her and for her hus-
band, if she has one, within forty-eight
hours. Even casual introduction to
man, strictly speaking, necessitates an
exchange Of pasteboard, but it is not
SO rigidly enforced. If you fail to do
your duty in the card line, you are re-
garded as an i'll hammered bore, or the
omission is taken as equivalent to a de-
sire not to know the person you have
met Moreover, at New Years you are
obliged to leave cards for all your
friends and acquaintances. Another
rule which you must be careful to OBJ
serve is not to be seen too often in the
company Of a young girl. If you speak
to her or dance with her too often,
there will probably be rumors that
you are engaged to her, which may be
awkward. Also the subjects Of con
| versation are strictly limited, and, al
though you may talk to married
lady in a far freer manner than would
be considered seemly in England, you
cannot be too careful as to what you
say to an unmarried girl, and you may
shock her by saying things to which
no English girl would object.

Would Make Mummfes.

No reason exists, says foreign jour
nal, why persons should not keep their
beloved ones with them after death,
since their bodies can very easily be
mummified. The ancient Egyptians, 1t
continues, were experts at this art, and
a close study of some Of their num-
mics shows how they did the work.
The body is placed in a boiler which
contains chloride of calcium and which
is heated to 125 degrees and after re
naming there for certain time is tax
en- out and stepped for twenty-four
hours in a cold solution of sulphate Of
sodium. By that time it is transformed
into perfect mummy, and the mourn
ing relatives or friends can safely take
it home and install it in place of
honor.
