Similar proceedings occurred at every
official yamen throughout the empire,

people has passed away. THE lowest
classes of the Chinese gave up their
mourning at the end of one hundred
days, and some even put Oh half-mourn-
ing at the end Of twentyseven days. All
members of the imperial family must
continue to mourn for three years. Dur
ing that time they can engage In no fes-
tivities. and they will not be allowed to
have children. 1t Is disgrace to a
family to bring forth child while the
mourning period lasts. Indeed. one Of
the reasons for the Boxer uprising is
against the last emperor, kwang Su, be-
cause he was born at such a time.
During the long funeral procession
which accompanied the remains OF the
late emperor to the western tombs,
funera. money was thrown into the air.
and I ain told that 125, 900 taels of such
money was burned every day to pay

the shape of discs Of white paper. each
about as big around as the bottom of a

center. 1t was gathered up by the coolies

an official. should retire to private life to

Chang when his mother died, but his
services were such that the empress dow

the sake of the state.
When a death occurs in a Chinese fam
lily its members put on sackcloth or white
clothes. braid white into their queues and
wear white buttons on their caps. They
send out mourning cards of white paper.
At the end of six months or SO they go
into half-mourning. They change their
white clothes for blue ones, have blue
threads into their queues. They send out
blue cards. and on them are printed the
characters which state Grief not SO bit

of the present dynasty, who is
said to have inaGgurated it when his
favorite wife died. His grieS was such
that he ordered his officials not to shave
their heads for 100 days; and thereafter
a similar order was sent forth upon the
death of an emperor.
The imperial deaths had a serious eff

laws provided that they must take off
their ieWelry within three days and to
lay aside their silks and satins for three
months. All wore dull coors, and some
clad themselves in white 1t was
against the laws to wear red, and any
woman found on the streets with red
gown was ordered back home. A young
Chinese lady of this city disregarded the
law and started out to call, wearing a
pair of red slippers. A policeman saw
her as she crossed a muddy place in the
street. He stopped her and pulled off
her shoes. She begged to be allowed to
wear them back home. saying that she
would put on white slippers thereafter.

clerks went about with sack-clOth gowns
over their ordinary dress, the same being
tied with white sashes. Indeed, for the
past year, the most common costume
worn by the officials has been white.
Many have left off their peacock feathers,
and those who wish to acquire merit
have covered up their embroidery. re-
moved every bit of red from their gowns
and have even donned sack-cloth.
The putting on of mourning has not
beer confined to the people. Many things
material, ordinarily red and gold, have
been covered with blue or white. At the
railroad stations the baggage carts had
blue paper pasted over them; the trolley
cars of Tientsin have used white flags
instead of red, and for a time they had
white cloths over the red signs on their
sides. For one hundred days after the
emperor died every policeman in China
wore wide white band around his left
arm, and for few days after that every
