Doctors and Death.

The old traditions which represent the doctor and death ns always hunting in couples still survive in Spain. In ah well-to-do families the house of death is always deserted immediately after the funeral, and the bereaved ones retire and pass eight days in inviolable seclusion. Children are buried in coffins of gray, pink, or blue color, which are carried open to the grave. A luxury of grief consists In shutting up the house where a death has taken place and never suffering It to be opened again.
