An Old Jewish Custom Observed In Memory of a Relative
A London home showcased a tiny flame burning in a goblet filled with water and olive oil. A corked oil vat on a ring held a wax taper fed by the oil, lit to honor a deceased relative for a year, with some families extending to a longer period. The tale notes varied durations and a remark about Bible verse limits on thoughts. A closing line states 1,044 foreigners have been naturalized in Mexico since 1828.
