F CX E RALSIXEN GIAN D. SIGNS OF WOE ACCORDING TO THE PREVAILING CUSTOMS. Differing Observances in City and Country— Mutes and Their Methods —Hired Weepers on the Doorsteps— Extravagant Floral Displays-Points of Etiquotte-An Undertaker’s Quaint Experiences— Funeral of the Queen of the Costermongers. London Letter in Philadelphia Record. Directly the breath leaves the 'body the window blinds, usually inside Venetian shutters, are pulled down, the windows of the room where the death occurred being left slightly open, however, from the top to permit the spirit to take its celestial flight. This latter is an old superstition, a very poetic one. In the country the house door is left ajar on the day of the fu neral until after the mourners’ return. “Because,” they say, “to shut the door would be to shut out the corpse. To leave it open is to show a welcome to the spirit’s return.” In the country, notably in Hampshire and Somersetshire, the usual shroud of the simpler village folk is com posed of white cotton wadding, shaped about the body dressed in ordinary under garments. The coffin is borne ”on the Moulders of friends to the cemetery, the other mourners following on foot to the grave. Naturally such customs are impracticable in a city like London. Only intimate friends, but not the more immediate family, accom pany the body to its burial place, the leave taking of the family is private. Other friends assemble in the drawing-rooms. There is no service until reaching the chapel in the cemeteiy,where one takes place, if at all, as supplementary to a final one at the grave itself. Only when the deceased has l,een a great public man is there a service in the church he attended in life, or in St. Paul’s, the Abbey or other noted sacred edi fice. This service is called a “mourning function.” Memorial services, on the other hand, for a noted man or woman may occur simultaneously in many churches. There are no crape streamers on the door knocker or bell-handle, as in Philadelphia or other cities in America The blinds are down, the knocker muffled and frequently straw is placed in the street for half a block to deaden the sound of vehicles. It is also an unwritten courtesy of the neighbors to draw their blinds on the day’ of the death and on that of the funeral. Thus we know that the “King of Terrors” holds his grim, dumb court within the house with drawn blinds and muffled knocker. Even during the last four years changes in funeral customs have taken place. Some people still rigidly keep to the old ways. Therefore if we should not at first be sure of death, the presence on the doorsteps of two lugubrious persons would prove it. These, relieved with other two at intervals, stand one on each side of the door to weep until the period shall be ended between the death at the removal to the cemetery. These paid mourners are “mutes.” Their business is to weep, and they perform it faithfully. In solemn black garments, hands in black gloves, broad streamers of Crape called “weepers” about their hats, they ply hand kerchiefs to their eyes black-bordered and gloomy. When there are no passers-by they discuss the local politics or their own affairs. Directly someone heaves in sight up go the handkerchiefs. The ends of their noses are suspiciously red. One feels that gin is the cause of such a perpetual flow of salt water from their weak, reddish eyes. It is, despite the solemn cause of their employment, ex ceedingly droll. They look like pen and ink sketches, and thsir marionet woe is ghastly in its grotesqueness. Strange that this cus tom or the early Romans should have sur vived until the nineteenth century. Many the Roman rites have lingered on these isles of Great Britain, once so extensively . used as Roman encampments. “The funeral baked meats" of sacred as well as of profane ,history—these are still prepared. Poor, in deed, the London family which fails to have a banquet provided ou tbe funeral day for the assembled friends. So widespread is the horror concerning be ing buried alive that bodies are kept nere longer than in America. It is reparded as barbarous to keep the body less than a week, and ten days is more frequently the time. Of course in cases of contagious disease the authorities enforce speedy and private burial. Perhaps the humid atmosphere is not conducive to mortification. Certain it is that less ice is used here, if used at all, than in America on these melancholy occa sions. The funeral flowers are even more extrav agantly used than in America, and not alone white flowers, but all the delicate hued blos soms pertaining to the season. Besides nat ural now ci s quantities of a species of ever lasting white pinks are used. These flowers come from Africa and are called “Cape flowers,” aim “wraith flowers.” They re feinble in shape a double carnation pink, and are graceful, ghost-like blossoms. They are regarded as lucky emblems, messages from the spirits, and are rattier a joyous garniture than otherwise, since they are symbolic of hope. Another floral extravagance is in the form of composition—China flowers made up into wreaths, crosses, anchors, etc.,which are preserved under raised glass cases, and placed on the mound in the cemetery. This mound is raised up squarely like a low bed, with the headstone or monument at the head of the same. The funeral hearse is either open at the sides and ends, or it is closed in quite dark. During the last year or two, a few hearses liavo made their appearance with glass si It'-. These are called “American funeral carriages,” but they are not popular. Ihe nearse is ornamented with huge waving plumes of coal black. The horses me jet black and have tails sweop hiff nearly to the ground. They also have long, full manes, which the passing breeze, during their slow, measured stepping blows lightly about. The largest and handsomest horses are devoted to luneral travel, both for hearses and mourn ers carnages, and livery men there are who seep nothing else in readiness. These horses to be broken and trained as laboriously as though for ring riding in a circus. Their drivers sit very high up with a bluck velvet pall across their throne-like perches. Their crape weepers flow down their backs from one to two yards from their hats. The horses heads are decorated with nodding Plumes. The “mutes” walk behind the hearse. To see an English funeral crawl solemnly °°' v “the street is quite an imposing spocta < The Continental custom of the passcr uncovering his head prevails here some -1 ‘IT j ere is, however, a perceptible in n and reverence apparent.

As* to how much they spend, why that depejagE During the last few years funeral reforms have done away with a deal of folly, but na o*i r v l y t lls * lurt - s the undertaker's profit*. About four years ago a woman dies who was known as the ‘Queen of the CoS termongers.’ She had been a miser, and what she did leave to a grandson—a love ehUd by the way—she arranged to have ex pended on her funeral, to which some 800 of her former companions were bidden. The men all had tobacco, the women and men alike a glass of grog. It was a reguar Fair flay that funeral. Donkeys with their bar rows were in the majority. The 'Queen.’ who was a rum old character, was dresser! in white satin. No one knew her save as ‘Queen Kate,’ or ‘Old Kate. 1 Her head stone bears only the inscription: “Kate, the Queen the of Costermongers. ’ I did not have charge of the obsequies mvself; it was oul of my parish; but a friend of mice did. For ten years he held the money and diree tions in trust, which directions ’were faith fully carried out. Her own words were: ‘v\ hen I croak I want my pals to have n rum old time at my buryinV ‘Horrible!’ I exclaimed, while a faint feeling oppressed me.” As I spoke a lad passed, wearing on his left ami a band of black crape. It was an emblem of mourning. He held a little sist* r by the hand, a child of 5 or 6 years of age. The poor little pale midget was fairly swad dled in black. She seemed, poor child, overweighted. The whole spectacle was farcical. In one funeral observance the sombre rigor is relaxed. When a child is buried the tiny hearse is of white wood, the horses are white ponies, the small coffin is of white. It is an occasional habit among old country folks to say softly when such a funeral cor tege goes along, “An angel passes.” Cremation in England finds few converts. It is the opposite extreme to the pomp and vanity of the traditional London funeral. 1 cannot resist thinking that we lay too great stress on these grewsome ceremonials. Let us hl ”T °ur dead “decently and in order,” avoiding needless feasting of houors. If we believe that majestic utterance, “I am the Resurrection ana the Life,” we will regard the poor body as merely the earthly casket irom which ths immortal spirit-gem has winged its happy flight. Then we will, though tearfully withal, unostentatiously consign it to mother earth, nor make a re ligion in the manner of our funerals. ■ __ MEDICAL. The Great Regulator.
