would arrange great display of cost

Professional Mourners.

IN ancient times funerals we're fol-
lowed by professional mourners, who
simulated the appearance Of the wild.
est grief. The custom survives in
the valley of Sondrio IN the Alps.
There the women do not follow the
funeral. but they group themselves at
the entrance of the cemetery and
burn, in honor Of the dead, candles
which vary in size according to the
remuneration. They are as prodigal
as were the mourners Of ancient times
in their stimulation of excessive grief.
