There are dozens ot stores in Chinese cities where one will see great bundles ot slivered paper made up in the shape of little boots or shoes similar to the silver shoes that pass tor money all over the empire. This is spirit money. In the same stores if you inquire you will (ind paper clothing and paper trunks.

Whether the spirit pockets the smoke or what it does, the Chinese say that the act provides the money neces- sary in the spirit land and the clour Ing that will make the spirit pre- ‘sentable to his teilow spirits. Driv- _ ing along a river bank near Shanghai a distance of about two miles the Sun correspondent counted eighteen coffins that were Waiting tor the "auspicious time."

The presentation ht la no wise a hint that it is time the recipient should use the present, but is a mark of filial affection that is always appreciated. The presenta- tion is usually accompanied by a good deal of ceremony. possibly by a band and always by great rcloiciug.

It is Just as much the custom to provide your- self with a coffin before you die as it in in the United States to pro- vide a family lot in a cemetery to regal" your remains. The most conspicuous thing in the yamen ot the Viceroy ot the Prov- ince of Chili when the civil govern- ment of the allies took poaseulon in Tientsin was a handsome hardwood coffin that the Viceroy had pro- vided for himself or that had been provided tor him. It held the poet ot honor in the yamen. But in his case the forethought had been all tor naught, for the allies came to him so Iuddenly that he had to escape from his ynmen through a hole in the rear wail, and later he commit- ted suicide and his body went float- ing down the river along with those of thousands of other Chinamen who had been killed during the fight or by the £oldiere of the allies alter the city had been taken. His coffin was thrown out on a woodpi1ain the rear ot the yamen. . u. we 4...“...
