If you should consider the article worthy of a place "n THE S7an, you wouid confer a favor b publishing it, T. “ * * J never fully realize that feeling of reverence with which the Catholle people of Bavaria seem to hold * All Saints’” and the next following one * All Souls’ Day,” until this year, when it was almost by accident brought to my notice. As I was passing the “Cour Church of St. Michael,” T met a friend who was just coming out; he remarked upon the beauty of the music in the requiem, now nearly ended. 1 entered, and One of the first things that a’ tracted my attention was a cent cai faique in the center of the church, which was blazing with lights so that che black velvet pall and towers were quite lost in the glare and de a spectacle of deep interest. The solemn stone resounded through the church and the choir began the * Lachrymosa” i grandest hymn of all ages, the “ Dies * Lacbrymosa dies illa, Ia resuircet ex fasalla Juaicandus homo reus.” The strains of solemn music—crowds of de- yout worshippers—the faint odor of incense— org that intense feeling for the dead—even the old, dusty. tme-worn tombs, before which Lights ing, and hung with funeral wreaths, d me to an extraordinary degree. The services being brought to a close, a procession of priests, roved in black, left the altar and pro- ceeded to the royal vaults, immediately be- neath, by stairways on elther side. These stair- Ways are Closed by slabs of stone, and are never opened except once in each year, or to recelve the remains of those entitled by divine right or blood to rest here. I followed the crowd, and descended. The largest room, I should think about thirty feet square, with & low cell- Ing, had nothing at all remarkable in its ap- pearance. It was fluminated with numerous lights, and a number of the King’s body guard were present as a guard of honor. I can hardly imagine a more striking costume than thelrs—a White coat elaborately embroidered in light blue and silver, golden epaulets, a steel helmet, upon which ts the King’s arms in gold, and a superb white plume hanging down the bac: Hight bine pantaioons, and high riding boot ‘vhey stood in dazzling relief from the dust a mold of even this royal vault.

Tall wax caudles, taal, nothty ised a fe in golden candlesticks, shed a soft glow over the whole, At the same time the widowed queen was praying before it, with asad heart, no doubt, for he was an excellent father to his family as well as king to bis peopie. Towards evening I went to THE GREAT SOUTHERN CEMETERY, the **Gottesacker.” Here was a spectacle which astonished me more than anything I had seen, ‘The vast interior was one mass of floral and other decorations, tn many cases covering the monuments from the case to the top, and the entire lot besides—which are not as’ large as With usgenerally—a whole famtly will be buried in alot 6 by 6feet.

HOW BURIALS ARE MANAGED IN MUNICH. Not far from this grave 1s the Dead touse, a sort of morgue; but let me give you some {dea how they manage such things in Munich. When one dies, a person known as the “corpse frau” notitied, who at once takes possession of the body and arranges it for burial. Within three hours the body must be carried to the dead- house, a dismal-looking house. When the pall- bearers arrive, or the watchers, as they are called, the body ts placed on an inclined table, and les in state for three days. Around the coffin are flowers and lights according to the taste and wealth of the peo) During the Uiree days the body is carefully watched, and over each corpse, Within easy reach is a bell- pull, so that in case of a resuscitation the alarm can at once be given.

Tits unex- cted eee ofthe bridge is accounted for by the vast quantities of snow and ice which passed into the river from Lake Erie after the late heavy storm, Last Sunday morn- tng the accumulated mass of ice came to a stand-still beneath the new suspension bridge, ‘but in a few hours the lee-dam suddenly began to heave, grind and break into fragments with a loud and painful noise. It moved a short dis~ tance and then came toa second halt, which was followed by a third movement, more vic- Jent and noisy than the others. A vast quan- Uty of water had accumulated behind the ice and made a desperate effort to get free. As re- Jated by a re] enormous body of snow and ice was raised up by the water and tossed about in all directions. Large biocks weighing hundreds of tons were lifted Into the alr. Boulders were torn from the shore and swept into the stream, und a solitary fir tree which ordinarily stand three feet above high water wasecarried aw The ponderous strength of the enraged waters Was So apparent that it seemed as if they would rend the great gorge in twain and inthat way escape [rom their imprisonment. As they could not break the mile-wide dam in two, they lifted it bodily Into the air and rushed away beneath it, leaving a span of ice above and behind them. The formation of the ice in this bridge ts not tue same on both sides of the river. On the Ameri- can side it is chictly composed of snow formed into rounded bowider shapes, and looks like white coral, As one approaches te centre of the river the ice fragments become larger, and rear the Canadian shore huge cakes of water- ice are formed into a solid mass.
