Peculiar Funeral Customs.

Swiss funeral customs are most pc
culiar. At the death Of a person the
family inserts a black-edged announce
ment in the papers asking for sympa-
thy, and stating that 1.-The mourning
urn will be exhibited within certain
hours on a special day. In front of the
house where the person died there is
placed a little black table, covered
with a black cloth, on which stands
a black jar. Into this the friends and
acquaintance of the family drop small
black-margined visiting cards, some
times with a few words of sympathy
on them. The urn is put on the table
on the day Of the funeral. Only men
go over to the churchyard, and they
generally follow the hearse on foot.
