Ancestor worship In China.

Every Chinaman is supposed to pos
sess three souls. One goes into the
ground at burial, one into the IAN
cestral tablet and one into the realm
of spirits. 1t is partly in order to pro-
vide the last with those things which
are requisite to it's well being that
ancestor worship is kept up, departed
ancestors often taking revenge on the
living for any negligence on their part
in the performance of the customary
rites for the dead by bringing some
calamity upon the household. These
rites of the dead" are performed for
all over ten years Of age, with the hope
of delivering them from hades or of
improving their condition there. They
last for periods that vary according to
the age and wealth of the deceased
for children and young people from
seven days to a month, for middle
aged man of ordinary means from a
month to forty-nine days.

Antiquity of the Acrostic.

The acrostic certainly dates back to
about $50 b. c., when the names of
the plays in the arguments of the
Comedies" of Plautus were indicated
by this ingenious device.
Cicero, about a hundred years later,
in his treatise "De Divinatione," says:
"The verses of the sibyls are distin-
guished by an arrangement which the
Greeks call acrostic. From the first
letters of each verse in order are form
ed words which express some particu-
lar meaning, as in the case of some
lines of Ennius, the initial letters of
which make this Ennius wrotep"
A similar device was employed in
some of the Hebrew psalms, notably in
the One Hundred and Nineteenth,
where each verse begins with the let
ter which stands at the title of it's
separate part throughout the twenty
two divisions of the psalm.
