THE MORNING ASTORIAN. ASTORIA, OREGON. IMOlfDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1903. SPEEDY INTERMENT. ; THE WAY FUNERALS ARE CONDUCT ED IN ARGENTINA. I frtMitUn That Maa Take aceaaat t tke (1lH-EkkiH v Fan of Deatk Sf at ! rlaia la . Mactaary Chapvla. Buenos Ayres being a setnltropteal City, the law requires tbit burial snail take place within twenty-four Lour after death, and If the body ia to be burled In one of the cemeteries within the city limits or placed In a vault It must be put not only iu the regular coffin, but, In addition. In a hermetic ally sealed lead coffin, which fits close ly Inside the other, a glass Insert per- mlttlne- the face only to be seen. As soon as a person dies the room In which the body Is to be laid out la transformed by the undertaker into a capllla ardiente," or lighted chapel that la, the room is darkened, the walu are aU hong In black, an altar is erect ed at on end, In front of which the body to laid, and the whole la lighted p by from six to a doaen large can dle In beery silver candlesticks three feet high. Al the time between the actual death and the burial Is so abort, thert Sb usually not time to send Individual notices. to friends, so the invitation to take part in the funeral services, as It la called, la printed In the papers In the following form: GUIIXERMO PIZARRO. i J. E. P. D. I (Data of death.) His wife. Mariana V his children Man wal Benedict and Amanda, his mother, rraaclaca O. Lavalle, his father-in-law, Antonio P. Valdes, his brothers Luis and Carlos, his aiatar Maria, his brother-in-law Jose, his grandchildren, uncles, aephewa, cousin and other relatives. In rite you to accompany the remains of the deceased to the Recoleta cemetery. day, the 17 in. at S.M p. ra. In the Church of the Holy Cross a mass tor the eternal repose of his soul will be auns from 7 to IS a. m., the body beinc present The family will take part In the one at 10 a. ra. The lea re tahlna of the deceased will be by card. Only Invitation. Q. E. P. D. mean "Que en pax descanse" (May he rest In peace). If the death has been long expected, to as to give time to have cards print ed, one about 3 by 6 inches, with a mourning border three-quarters of an Inch wide, with the same wording. Is sent to the nearest friends, in which case the words "Only Invitation" are omitted from the death notice In the paper. It will be noted that the funeral serv ices and the burial are distinct cert monies. It not being the custom for women to accompany the body to the cemetery. The expression, "Leave taking will be by card," means that friends attend ing are not expected to come up per sonally and condole with the family at the funeral, but there Is usually a errant In black livery, furnished by the undertaker, either at the house or at the church, with a silver salver on .which visiting cards caa be placed. " In default of this, on arrival at the cemetery, on one side of the entrance gate la a high wooden desk painted black, and on It a pencil and paper, and fastened to one side a regular kind of tetter box, also black, with a silt In the top. Into this the card is dropped or the name written on a piece of paper, and these are collected by an attendant and sent to the bouse after the funeral In a few daya, to all those whose cards have been received as well as to those friends who have written notes of condolence, the visiting card of that member of the family to whom you may have addressed yourself Is sent or the card of the member of the family who may know you best with the single word "Agradecldo," meaning 'TbaiikB for kind sympathy." The funeral procession of the well to do Is preceded by a large, covered landau, with glass sides, In which are piled the floral offerings, oud Just be hind this comes the hearse, drawn by four or nix black horses, with two men en the box In black and silver liveries and wearing cocked hats. The hoarse Is a huge affair, open at all shies, the top or canopy being sup ported by four life sized figures of Ethiopian, carved out of ebony, unS It Is surmounted by nix l.ure plumes two feet in diameter, made of black ostrich feathers. The coffin lies on a black cloth, with the Initials of the dead lu full view at the sides, worked In silver. The cemetery itself is a veritable city of the dead, for, Instead of hav ing a mound with a headstone or mon ument, regular little mortuary chap els, called "panteones," are built by every, lot owner, completely covering the plot of ground he holds. These are of stone or marble, about twelve feet high and from five to twelve feet square, and they are built In rows like city houses and laid out In squares like city streets, with broad sidewalks and a roadway between. Bach of these "panteones" contains an altar of marble, on which are can dles, flowers, sacred pictures and other religious emblems and symbols of the (Catholic church. In front of this altar la a large slab which when lifted discloses a ladder or (Stairway leading down to a vault which Is a whitewashed chamber with ppaces one above the other in the walls tf sufficient size to receive a coffin. '.After each space Is filled It Is sealed Dp with a marble slab, giving the name, age and date of death. Private vaults will usually bold from a dozen to fifteen bodies, but as these are expensive the various beneficial so cieties have erected mortuary chapela n which their members can be burled, file expense for the individual thus Deffig mu?JSaa. Boms of those chapels art as a church, with a vault two big as stories deep and room for 1,300 bodies, the raults under these large edifices be ing finished in marble and entered from the Interior of the chapel by a wkle light of marble steps, the whole being well ventilated and lighted. For the poorer classes, who can neither afford to civet a "panteone of their owu nor belong to one of these societies, there Is a long peristyle each side of the cutrance gatew and here niches can l rented or bought, these uiches beiug about two feet square at their outer end, with sufficient depth to take the coffin, and arranged in groups of 500, the niche when tilled belug walled up with the usual slab, lu the frout of this slab there Is ofteu a photograph of the dead, covered with glass, aud under each one Is a small shelf on which flowers, votive offerings or little oil lamps, kept constantly burning, are placed. When a near relative dies, like a parent or child, the men wear crape bands about six Inches wide on the left arm, halfway to the elbow, and the women a crape veil, falling over the face and reaching to the ground, and usually a large black shawl hiding the figure.

It Varies Seaewfcat rraaa That of lta While the Swedish people are next door neighbors to the Norwegians, the life In the two countries Is very differ ent This Is no doubt the result of the physical conditions In the two coun triesthe rocky fiords and snow capped hills and tempestuous torrents of the Norwegian coast making a constant struggle necessary on the part of the dwellers thereon, whereas Sweden has more facilities for agricultural success. And yet the Norweglun maid Is, like most young girls, gay aud happy, and the roving blood of her Norse ancestors leads her to emigrate to America or the British isles, although she general ly returns to her native land. Con firmation Is the official "growing up" of Norwegian young people. When a boy has passed the strict examination prepared for him by the priest be Is considered of an age to be appren ticed out and Is given presents by his admiring family and friends. The Norwegian baby when born In winter Is kept within doors like a con servatory product until warm weather, bat thereafter he la taught to be hardy and Independent and la generally turn ed over to the mercies of his older brothers and sisters. The Norwegian women excel In em broideries, tapestry work and lace, and their handiwork Is becoming popular In other countries than their own. the charming Hardanger work, so fashion able last winter, being from the neigh borhood of tbe fiord of that name In Norway. The national costume of the peasant classes among tbe women Is comprised of a white cuemlsette, an embroidered cloth bolero and a gay colored cloth skin, although tbe poorer classes dress more sooerly. Some wear shawls over their Leads and others black bonnets decorated with bugles. The Norwegian dinner Is not pref aced by an appetizer, as Is that of the Swedes, but special dishes are scat tered over the table and the guests par take of them when they please. Nor wegian cookery has an Individuality quite apart from the Swedish. The .forwegians are a hardy race, and their women are kuown for their capable finalities. Morning --toi wn, "" eenN a month.
