Where Money Buys Life.-The rich

Where Money Buys life.-The rich
Chinaman if condemned to death easily
procures a substitute. Some poor
wretch, without money to secure his
spirits from becoming wandering dew
lis, with the price of his miserable life
can purchase proper care for his spirit.
Anything, in fact, can be done If you
have the money. 1t is this belief that
causes the Chinaman to commit sui
eide by taking his life on the premises
of his enemy to take vengeance on him.
His spirit, he believes, will forever
haunt him. There is another reason
also. He knows that as sure as fate
the officials will under such circum-
stances come down upon his enemy
and strip him of everything. Poor
Chinese have been known to sell ev-
erything they possessed, tear down
their houses to sell the timber sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves to procure money
for the proper rites for the peace and
comfort of the ancestral spirits. One
thing alone a Chinese will not do
namely, sacrifice his son.-Kenneth F.
Junior NJ. D., in National Geographic
Magazine.
