The Tombs of the Mings.
There is no doubt but mat this
dynasty will do all it can to surpass
the tombs of the Mings, the dynasty
which preceded it. These lie in two
great cemeteries, one at Marking on
the Yangtse Kiang, and the other far
out in the country between here and
the great wall. I have visited both,
and they are among the wonders OF
the world.
The Ming tombs of North China
consist of a number Of great Chinese
palaces, lying in a beautiful valley,
and connected by wide marble roads
the roads, upon pedestals, stand gil
gantic figures Of tigers, lions, uni
corns, horses, camelS and elephants

marble. The elephants are 'jumbos,"
beautifully cut, and the lions and
camels are not at all bad. considering
that their sculptors were Tartars.
There are thirteen emperors buried in
that cemetery, and the largest temple
is that Of the great Lung Yoh. This
has a hall two hundred feet long, and
it covers more than an acre. 1t is

marble, and in it are immense stone
turtles, each as big as a h~ogshead, out
Of whose backs rise pink marble slabs
inscribed with the virtues Of the great
emperor. The turtle is one Of the
Chinese emblems Of longevity.
The Tombs of Marking.
It is near Marking tina the founder
of the Ming dynasty is buried, and the
tombs there are somewhat similar to
these tombs of North China They
lie under the shadow of the purple
mountains, and are reached by an
avenue a mile long, which is lined with
gigantic elephants, camels, lions and
tigers in marble. There are also
many stone warriors, ZACH twelve feet
in height. At the end of this avenue
is a great tower with FOUR arched gate
ways, and this tower covers a circle

parlor, and it is made from one single

some Of them are beautifully carved.
One of the stone horses has been
thrown over. and some Of the lions
and camels are broken, but the most
OF them are as perfect today as when
they were originally made, about I'VE
hundred years ago..
I ate my lunch sitting on the turtle

wrote of her years ago as having "a
charmin~ humOr which she laviShedly
displays throughout her stories, to
carry US over the fearful spots which
otherwise would leave the reader de-

character, and her men and women
are drawn with distinctneSs and natu-
