WILD TINGIANS OF APAYAO 



This tribe is noted for the affection existing between husband and wife and for the high moral tone of its women. Their 

 mourning customs are peculiar. A widow discards her upper garments, fasts, and does not bathe for a period of six months, 

 but the period may be terminated by offering the head of an enemy to the spirit of the dead man, a ceremony which is 

 supposed to insure peaceful rest in the hereafter.
