land of the dead. For thousands Of years
Chinamen have been assiduously employed
in birying each other. 1t is the. habit of

rites. The person who is dead is placed in
the most convenient and comfortable spot
which offers itself, and that may chance to
be in thc centre of field of rice or on the
roadside. Ifhis relatives be rich they at
once raise 4 huge mound of earth over him;
if they do no. happen to have great a.
mount of disposable funds they pu: the coz
