Curious Funeral Custom.

Some curious funeral customs still
prevail In the south Of Scotland. At
AMMAN. In many cases. the funeral Of a
departed relative is intImsted and
friends invited by the bellman going
round from door to door telling the
people Of the event. OF course. he does
not ring his bell when on his meian-
choly journey. At Lsngholm at the
funeral the relatives Of the deceased
are grouped together In front of the
house where the cortegc departs, and
the other mourncrs go up to them. and
one By one they give . sympathetic

months or years In Paris and know

heart Of the capital. These canals run
into rivers connecting those Of the

Through many Of these small streams

You will see little towboats putting,
