The break caused him considerable
pain, but it is not now thought that it
will confine him to his home for any
great length of time.

A Chinese Funeral

Yesterday there was witnessed the
funeral of Nah Wing, one of the Chi
nese proprietors Of the Union Kitchen D.
The ceremony was very noisy one ard
attracted a great deal of attention
Oce of the hacks,contained a Chine e
brass band composed of q tom-tom and
other instruments of noise. Also &C.
comparing the funeral was a Mon
golian distributing slips of paper print
ed with Chinese characters which he
distributed freely. These the devil
was expec ed to pick up and read as he
chased the soul of Nah Wing to the
cemetery, but if Nah was put under
ground before the devil reached the
grave then the soul WAS safe. The
roast pig. chicken and rice we're also
carried along to the grave with which
to feed the spirit on its journey to the
other world. The funeral procession
had more the appearance of wedding
feast than a ceremony over a departed
spirit.
