'ln!r Holidays of Funeral©.
Death h*ia no terror* fur the Chinese,
and a funeral I* only a bit of a holiday.
After the grave Is flll"d tip mourners Jab
sticks of In.-enc in the fresh earth about
lb* genera! tombstone, guther up the f.s.l
and saunter away chatting pleasantly and
. smoking cigarette*. They leave an Insert,>-

character mean.
| As one Chinas* character may express
much, th* apparently Simple letters often
ted long wtorle*. jt Is hard to get a genu

something like this:
“Loy Sing, who lies below, was bom In

Another form Is that affected by Iboao
