plays on two instruments. He exhibits
the theater reduced to it's simplest form,
the work of the company, the band, the
manager, treasurer, scene-shifter and
property man all being done by one per-
son.
In the very nature of the Chinese,
whether men or women, there is large
element OF the histrionic, even those
pompous and noisy funerals of theirs
being little more than an exhibition of
private theatricals. The whole company
gossip, drink tea, jest, laugh, smoke and
have all the air Of pleasant, social
party, until the nearest relation Of the
deceased informs them that the time to
mourn has come. Instantly the conver-
sation ceases and lamentation begins.
The company gather round the coffin;
affecting speeches are addressed to the
dead; groans, sobs and doleful cries are
heard on every side; tears, real tears,
roll down many cheeks--all is woe and
desolation. But when the signal is
given to cease mourning, the perform
ers, says N, Hue, do not even stop to
hnish a sob or a groan, but they take
their pipes, and, lo they are again those
incompatible Chinese, laughing, gossip

man for a march or two (but this last oc-
cupation is of such rare occurrence that
it has all the charms Of novelty for them
so that when the good men return home
from their travels they have nothing to
do but to smoke their pipes, and
hibernate through the months of ice and
snow in the enjoyment of the good things
their helpmates have provided for them.

a rusty black, is plated into number
of tails, which reach to their waist, and
of which the extremities are collected
and tied under small bit of mother-of-
pearl she'll, from which again hang rows
of beads and small bells of metal. These
jingled as they moved like bells Of a
carriers team. A band of red cloth or
leather, about two or three inches broad,
reaches from the forehead back over the
crown Of the head and falls as far as the
waist. This is studded with rough tur.
quoises, large but ill-shaped and full Of
flaws. Their color, too, is green, not
blue, and they are Of little value. This
is the fashionable head-dress. Some

black sheepskin over the ears-oreil-
lettes, in fact; and they all of them
added as many beads of amber, of
mother ofpearl and coral as they came
by. Necklaces Of amber, carnelian,
coral and glass generally the latter
hung around their tawny throats, from
which depended rude amulets of silver;
nor were armlets and earrings forgotten.
A coarse, warm jacket of wooden cloth,
a petticoat Of divers colors principally
blue, red, yellow and green), and glass
shoes or sandals completed the costume.
A few of them too wore undressed sheep
skins hanging down over their shoulders
and fastened in front across the breast
by skewers-the most primitive of man
ties. They all carried small baskets
slung at their backs ready for a load,
and most Of them had baby in arms,
which, when the able bodied matron who
owned it had decided what baggage she
should carry, was handed over to the
care Of one of the bigger children.
Their sunken features, broad, fat,
square visages were well worthy of their
ignoble setting; the eyes, narrow, small
and twinkling, seemed eternally endeav.
oring but in vain to squint over the prom
inent cheekbone and peep at the fat
broad nose below. The mouth, wide ana
thick.lipped though it was, was the re-
deeming feature, for it was generally on
the broad grin ard gave an expression
of good nature to the otherwise dull, va
cant face. Their figures, squat short and
broad, were the reverse of graceful, but
they walk away under the burdens which
the men Of Sinia would have grumbled
at the weight of. 1t was quite jour de
fete for them and they had brought their
whole family with them to share its de-
lights. They were by far the best coolies
we had had, were these sturdy, good
humored ladies Of Lahoul."
