CHINESE SUICIDES.

SOME SUPERSTITIONS OF WOMEN.

Coroners ought to be Sinologues, if the number of Chinese suicides is to go on increasing. It seems that superstition accounts for some of them. European belief in spooks may spoil lives. Chinese similar beliefs cost lives. It is now related of a suicide recently reported in the China Mail that the lady was haunted by the ghost of a previous suicide. She told her husband that she saw a well-dressed young woman hanging by the neck by a red-cloth. He grinned and said it was ali fancy. He had forgotten that the Chinese women know all about these things, that they are well aware that the spirit of a suicide cannot rest until it has persuaded some cne else to follow its evil example, aridi that his wife had the dreadful altern" ative of ending her own life or. of!! being tormented for three years by this unhappy ghost. If he had re- membered he might have saved her, by calling in an exorciser or "some- : thing.

As for Chinese women who die in chid birth, their subsequent activities are simply frightful The Malaya have a kindred belief. The 'spirit goes through a period of training in Hades; it then takes a bath in a pool of blood; and after that it has its regular evenings out to roam the earth in search of other maternity cases. As soon as it has found one. afd induced a fatal result, it may go to the place where heteinpsychosis and re-birth is arranged.
