Chinee fellow beings live up to it ever 30 much
nork consistently thnu wo live up to our supersti-

rerans Of A1ongo1ians who had Hhuf1lod OF thoir
coils iu Oregon. This queer cargo is to be re-.
shipped from this port TO China. Tue fnct that
no thrifty people IA tho Chinese should incur
tile great expense they do for snch q purpose,
proves tho strong hold which tho custom has
upon them. Tho nero preparation of tho bodies
to be shipped costs 1926 oach; and when the ex-
nenses of packing, freight, rcshipmont, atc.. ia
added, it must amount to about al much as MI
