Berlin, Germany The Old huWe OF

and around SonHoburg, writes Consul
General Frank Dillingham; at Coburg,
are engaged in this industry, which
is the chief source Of venue Of the
population, giving employment for the
whole year The work demands a
Sreat deal OF practice and skin, as

still others the arms, hands, etc BY
this division the work is done much
quicker and better.
The heads are first nodded, and
when sufficiently dry the eyes are cut
out by a skilled worker with a very
thin, sharp knife. This is extremely
delicate work, because all Of the sock
cts have to be of uniform size or the
eyes do not NJ. After being burned
the heads are painted, waNed or
glazed, depending on the material
from which the heads are made, The
arms, legs and hands are produced in
a similar but simpler manner. as the
painting consists only In giving the
necessary flesh color, while the heads
must have rosy checks, red lips and
dark or light eyebrows, depending on
the color Of the eyes. The setting OF

self accordingly to the following
quaint custom: In the dawn of the
early morning she rises, puts on a
white robe and white clogs. Round
her neck she hangs a small mirror
which falls on her breast, and on her
head she puts a metal crown with
three points, each point bearing a
lighted candle.
In her left hand she carries a small
figure Of straw or ra~gs--supposed to
represent her u|nfaithful lover-and
this she nails to one Of the sacred
trees surrounding the family shrine.
She then prays for the death Of the
man, vowing that, If this comes TO
pass, she will put out the nails which
are hurting the sacred tree and make
offerings to comfort her family god.
Every night she comes to the shrine,
strikes In two more nails, and makes
the same prayer, her idea being that
the god, to saw his tree from further
injury, will kill her lover.
