Burial CtwtOnw. The Turks perhaps were the first peo- ple to use ornamental burial grounds such as we call cemeteries, but 04 to when this custom was first adopted In the land of iha crescent no one seems to know, The earlier Jews buried their dead in the earth, that method being without doubt the most ancient burial mode known to man. The very earliest Egyptians seem to have understood the art of embalming and to have practiced it from time out of memory. The an- cient Greek* and Romans cremated the body, tho ashes only receiving sepul- ture, except; la case otilUwtrioua war- riors, statesmen, etc these latter being hurled uahurned as * special mnxk of favor. Somo ancient tribes preserved only parts of the body and burned or burled the remainder. The parts retained and preserved, dried or la toauld, varied ac- cording to tribal notions. With tome It was the heart that was thought to be too sacred for cremation or burial, with others the liver, ears, nose, tongue or unset*. The Tartar* of 2,000 year* ago preserved only the thumb and toe nails of their dead. Axuuaanenta of Grant ilea.
