Buried Under the Floor.

An Abyssinian funeral is very
singular affair. When a newborn in

buried under the floor. After the de-
mise of an adult. the body is washed
in water SWeetened with honey
wrapped in shrOud, sewed up in a
mat of braided straw, and laid upon
a litter made of boughs cut from
trees.
The lamentations of the relatives re
sound among the cliffs, and the news
is rapidly communicated to all the peo-
pie of the neighborhood, who at once
set out to condole with the mourners.
AS soon as they catch sight of the
funeral procession they begin to weep
and cry aloud. When they join it,
the men range themselves on one side
of the bier, the women on the other,
and chant. When the religious cere-
mony is over, the corpse is buried in
the churchyard.
