ART TREASURES
At AUCTION

Special to The Tribune
LONDON, July An auction sale
of the art collection of the late James
Edward Taylor was begun at Christ
les today and will continue for about
two weeks. The sale is regarded az
the most important dispersal of art
treasures so far in the present cen.
fury. The bulk Of the collection con.
sists Of miscellaneous works Of art,
covering practically all periods and
schools from the antique to the nine
teenth century. The collection Is
particularly rich in bronzes, early
Persian pottery, porcelains, worries,
champleve enamels, croziers and
masterpieces of the silversmiths'
craft Of all periods. The pictures are
comparatively few in number, but Of
exceptionally fine quality. MI. Tayl-
or, who was proprietor of the Man.
chester Guardian, died in 1906, leav-
ing his collection for life to his wife,
who recently died.

U B EVIL SPIRITS.
Some Curious Rites Performed At
Chinese Funerals.

Some Curious Rites Performed at
Chinese Funerals.
In most Chinese funerals PROBES.
sional mourners are employed. They
cover up their heads and faces and
yell and sob and scream at the top Of
their voices, not with the idea 60
much OF showing grief, as with the
intention Of driving away the evil
spirits from the soul Of the departed.
With this motion also the mourn
ers bang trays, beat gongs and play
weird musical instruments. Another
precaution taken is that the funeral
cortege passes over running water
before the dead is actually buried,
as this may be the means Of throw
ing the pursuing aends of the scent.
At the %graveside a %precaution 10
taken which ia typical Of the ingenu-
ity of the Chinese mind. "A large
packet Of thin rice paper containing
some hundreds Of leaves Is stamped
all through with seven peculiar Sits
Like those made with the nib Of q
pen. The whole mass of paper Ii
burned and the ashes scattered
around. When, therefore, the fiends
arrive, presumably very exhausted
with their efforts to catch up with the
Chinaman's soul, they find to their
dismay that they have first Of all to
piece together all the scattered ashes
Of paper, and then to 90 in and out Of
the seven holes in each individual
sheet Of paper.
AS you can readily understand, ev-
en- q very slick fiend finds this rather
a tedious task, and by the time he has
accomplished 1t the soul Of the de-
parted has arrived In the land Of the
blest.
There 10 little or no ceremony actu.
ally at the grave, but food 10 cooked

ing, go and seek out every maid over
Twenty-Five, and when you have led
them all through the graceful minuet

And I would do as bid and dance
some old time waltz with some lonely
maid and then return to Miss Ellen's
side only to be sent away again to
some one who she noticed was not
dancing. Finally the supper hour was
announced, and I was made happy BY
Miss Ellen. who chose me a. her part

I did not know what was meant by

Miss Ellen yielded at length, and, still
holding my hand and bidding me give
tho other to the girl behind mi, and so
on down the line, we started out Of the
house through ono Of the deep, low
cut windows We circled the porch,
crossed the gardens and passed down
the terrace. The moonlight altering
through the trees glimmered brightly
on the colored frocks as We sped down
tho cedar lane.
At length We emerged on an open
knoll in the center Of which was an
old stone sundial covered With ivy. We
formed a circle round It, and Miss 81.
len, letting 60 my hand, stood on 4 step
BY ito side and. calling n after an.
other by name, babe each lay bis or her

that broke the stiffness was that of
