ton and mastication of the dear de-
parted. The Chinese believe implicitly
that the souls of the dead continue in
conscious existence and in such contact
with the scene of their former existence
that the location of their graves, the
coustancy of the worship they receive,
with the richness and variety of the
offerings made to them, are most i'm
pOrtant in determining their happiness
or misery.
The vulgar belief is that the needs OF
the dead are substantially the same as
the needs of the living. and that they
can only receive those necessities by
the ministrations of the living. Food.
clothing and money are, therefore. of

visible and transmitted to the world by
means of fire. The funeral of anyone is
the occasion for solemn bonfire. where

often includes paper houses and fur
