CnIans BURYING GRoUsDs

In those places where hills are accessi-
| bic, the sterile sides which refuse to yield
anything to human support are used for
burial places. On the plain, however, it
IS inevitably necessary to occupy portion
| OF the ground which is so much needed for
the sustenance Of the living. Burying-
grounds, IN one sense, are quite unknown;
every family selecting it's own spot upon
its own property. The only places set a.
part for the burial of the dead in the way
Of general cemeteries, are benevolent
grounds, for the burial of the poor, or To-
calitles used by natives Of other places,
who, IN the way of a stock company, pro-
vide place of temporary burial for their
members, until their friends can make ar
rangements for their removal to their an
ces al home and burying place; or, in
case this should not be done, they rest in
quiet until their name and memorial have
perlshed-that is, as long as they would in
any probability rest in any place.
The amount of the soil which is occupied
by graves on the plain, and especially in
the neighborhood of cities and large towns,
is very great; and even within the walls,
large spaces are covered with graves and
uncovered Cofffns. The wetnesS of the soil.
and frequently the low level, forbids the
digging of graves below the surface. The
cotfins are therefore laid upon the surface
OF the ground; some are left uncovered,
some are covered with straw wrapped and
tied around them some are enclosed in a
brick vault, often built in the fashion of a
house, with tiled roof and plastered sides,
or simply arched over; while the greater
portion are covered by conical mound of
earth, to which additions are made every
year, until some of them are fifteen or
twenty feet high, and large in proportion.
Connected with a collection of such
graves sheltering the remains of several
generations of ancestors, the filial regard
OF some who have the means to do it, leads
them to build small temple, and to endow
it with permanent income, devoted to the
preservation and maintenance of the fami-
ly cemetery, the application of the funds in
such cases being an object of care to the
officers of government who are charged
with the duty of seeing the wishes of the
devisor carried out. The cultivation of the
lands thus devised, and the care of the
temple and graves, furnishes occupation
and support to the needy connections Of
the family.
A Chinese coffin, unless of very poor
and inferior character, is made of very
thick and heavy planks, the joints careful
ly closed, and large amount of quick-lime
put IN the coffin with the body, SO that the
coffin may be kept in the house, in fact,
generally is, for many months, before a
place or time in all respects favorable for
burial can be fixed upon.
