COFFIN DUMPING IN CHINA.

Kankow Joamal's Protest.

At the back of the Hanków Concou sions, and on the outskirts of the native lown, writes the "Central China Post," amanted coffins in sil atages of decay may be com in large numbers. They -åste boen laid at the loot of walls, placed on mounds or dropped into Babes and are of all grades of unsubstantiality. Occasionally one coustroued of stout planks, guaranteed to remain intact for par, may be met with, but the majority ate miserable shells of thin boards, held together with a few saila- tiod with string. Their contents as generally in.

is a feature which cannot be described.

Of all nations the Chinese profess the

highest respect for the dead. The body which they derived from their parents 11 on no account be cut or mutilated Rules as a punishment for 'crime. Only ~~·low yours ago the mérő rumour that a

a post-mortem was held it was by mess

with a bands swan to secrecy lest the mok should get to hear of it and resent the proceeding with aproar and house- burning. Yet the same body might be rolled in a mat and thrown out to rot at asy roadside without anyone being in the loast offended. This is one of those purious inconsistencies of which our Chinese neighbours cultivate so many.

The coffins are thus dumped for a variety of reasons. Some contain t bodies of beggars found dead tie street. In such case, the miserable dil would be gifted by a Benevolent Hall, while the local authority would, has given a few cash to some other beggars to remove it, no questions being Mked as to where. Many contain the runaina ct person who have died in Hankow without friends or relativos to assume responsibilities, so the partios who, much to their discomfort, found- themselves saddled with a corpso dis posed of it in the relicst way.

Be the reasons what they may, this particular practice should bo sternly sup prossed as revolting to every sense of humanity, and a serious menaco to the public health.
