After short prelimin aries the big feed took place. The eight graves In the Chinese lot are not allon equality, and only a few of themthem were recipients of special favors. All were given some atten tion, however. " ' The roast hog, or parts of it, at least, baked chicken, rice pudding, apples and sweetmeats were some ol the necessities of life that were placed at the heads of the graves with sol emn gestures and supplication. For dessert, the dead were provided with Imperial claretts, Bourbon whisky. China gin, opium, apples and various other articles ol' palatable enjoyment. In the vault the customary amount of colored papers were burned. From these the spirits selected hte color of clothing stiltnble to them.
