The customs of the Chinese in the matter of death and burial are certain ly peculiar. Infants are buried sum marily without coffins, and the young are interred with few rites, but the fu nerals of the aged of both sexes are elaborate in proportion to the number of the descendants and to their wealth. When a childless married man dies, his widow may perform all the duties of a son' toward him, may remain in his house, and may t'dopt children to rear as his heirs, and as worshippers of the family manes. If his widow purposes marrying again, a young male relative may, with the consent of senior mem bers of the clan, undertake the services expected from a son, and may inherit the estate of the deceased. When one is about to die. he is removed from his couch to a bench, or to a mat on the floor, because of a belief that he who dies in bed will carry the bedstead as a burden into the other world. He is washed in n rteiv vessel, in warm water, in which a bu::c!!e of incense sticks is merited. After the washing the vessel and the water are thrown away togeth er. ITe is then arrayed in a full suit of new clothing, that he may appear at his best. He -breathes his last in the main room before the largest door in the house, that the departing soul may easily find its way out into the air. A sheet of spirit money (brown paper having a patch of gilding on one surface) is laid over the upturned face, because it is said that if the eyes are left uncovered the corpse may count the row of tiles in the roof, and that in such case the family should never build a more spacious domicile. TOLD HIS CLAM STORY. How Funny Detroit Man Won Hia Case With the Jury. Marshall P. Wilder, the funny little man, is charged with - having with malice aforethought and evil intent sprung a few of his tales on a jury and thereby turned their verdict in his di rection, says the Detroit Journal. A few weeks ago Marshall came to town and in tbe circuit court sued Dr, Hercules Sanche on a promissory note for $1,000. He won the case, and now the counsel for the defense has applied for a new trial on the ground that the jury was improperly influenced. The lawyer says that during a recess Marshall went out into the hall and told the jurymen a lot of funny stories including that one about the New Jer sey clam digger who fed his family on clams so long that their stomachs rose and fell with the tide. That settled it, the Sanche lawyer says, and the t lan who laughs was solid as a boarding house biscuit with the jury. They went into court, he says, and chuckled out a verdict in his favor. Tbe counsel for the defense says Wilder's jokes would win a favorable verdict from a jury of pine stumps, hence the application for a new trial. Caah in our eneefc.
