AT CHINESE FUNERAL in San Francisco the
other day the body was placed in a coffin which
was set upon chairs on the sidewalk. At the foot
OF the coffin was table, upon which was piled
quantity of uncooke ed vegetables fowls, and meat.
Beside this table stood the priest, dressed in
black robe, with hat upon his head shaped like
that Of cardinals. He was repeating the
burial service in kind of chant, varying the
music by alternately clanking cymbals together
and ringing a small dinner bell. On the side
walk knelt three women, with white sacks over
their heads, who were the hired mourners of the
occasion. None OF the others seemed to mourn
It all and the men and women present were
angling anC talking and the children playing on
II sides.
