CHINESE SURERSTIT1oNs


One very extraordinary way in which Chi
nse superstition showA itself Is In connections
they attach extreme importance. They seems
to believe that the unseen world is in q certain
way . counterpart of things visible, and that
the spirits Of the departed stand in need flood,
clothes and houses however, to Q
state suitable for the invisible which they seem
to imagine Is to be attained by the process of
burning. They have curious way of carry.
ing their superstition into effect. Having to-
provide for, not on the day of the funeral
alone, but in perpetuity, for the comforts of
the departed, they take care that clothing, fur
niture and money shall cost them as little as.
possible. They therefore manufacture imita--
tons of these necessaries IN paper, the paper
money being covered With tin or gilt foil; and
on some occasions q paper house, ready fur
nished, is burned AMI passed entire into tho
unseen world. The food of the spirits is man.
aged more simply still. The feast is spread.
hot and steaming, and the steam and fumes
arising from the repast appear to form tho

but all his ancestors will be reduced to tato
of beggary.
