BACKING, THE DEAD.

After they have disposed thus of the troubles of last year, the people seek mens for good fortune in the coming year. Each man leads big poùy to a starting point outside the. city. The ponies find their own way home without riders and those that make their way straight-home-bring- good fortune with them.

The most gruesome custom one can soe at Gyantae is the deposal of the dead. At daybreak the body is carried to the creat of a low hill a mile from the city.. After a Lama has said prayers and incantations over the naked corpae, the professional butchers alice the body as with knives, cutting off separately, the lege and arms, and lastly the head.

They hook and smash each member tato pulp on a rock, with hatchole, and throw it to the vultures, who staad waiting only Git. away. The. birds consume every particlo of the flesh and the crashed bone.
