BURIED LIVING PERSONS.
Horrible Custom of Japanese Prior
in Ncnr GIG 4. L.

Prior tO the year GIG \. -. the .Japa-
nesc had one OF the most horrible
burial customs that can be imagined
that of burying all the immediate
friends and retainorS Of n prince or
other person of note i'm II standing po-
sitiOn around The pOtentatc'S grave and
leaving them in the earth up 10 their
neckS 10 perish OF thirst and hunger.
The custom canuot be- said 10 have
been general rs late as the date given,
for the Japanese records prove that i'm
the time of the Emperor Suinn D7-3O
T. c. the burial rites Of royal person
ages were 50 modified aS 10 partially
abolish former cruclticS. Speaking OF
a young brother Of Suinin. who died
and had his rctinue buried standing
around his grave the old record
says: For many days they died not,
but wcpt and cried aloud. At last they
died. Dogs ana crows assembled and
ate off their heads The cmperor's
compassion was aroused. and he de-
sired TO chang" the manner Of burial.
When the empress died. soon after. the
mikado inquired OF his officers if some
thing in the way Of II change could not
be suggested, and one proposed TO
make clay figures OF men and bury
them as substitutes"
That this did not entirely do away
with the former custom is proved 10y
an cdict issued in the year GAG \. d..
the date given first above. which forbid
the burial Of living persons and pro
vidcd penalty for further adherence
to the awful ritc.-St Louis Republic.
