a memorial to the Chinese Govern-
ment expressing sympathy with the
attitude taken by China in regard to
Germany, and promising favorable
consideration of the questions of sus-
pension during the war of the Boxer
indemnity payments and revision of
the tariff in the event of China's ef-
fectively severing relations with Ger-
many and Austria. Delay in the ex-
pected development in German -Ameri-
can relations and the absence hitherto
of any collective intimation on the
part of the allies that China would be
welcome among then* have caused the
Chinese to hesitate regarding future
action, The Germans, it is needless
to say, have been doing their utmost
among the officers of the army to es-
tablish a party opposed to the rup-
ture. The timely action of the allied
hlinistel•s seems likely to have the de-
sired result.

GRUESOME GIFTS,
A Coffin Is a Very Acceptable Present
In China.
A Chinese custom that seems parte
cularly strange to Occidental readers
is described by Sir Alexander Hosie in
his account of a journey through the
interior of China, "Oil the Trail of
the Opium Poppy."
At the hamlet of Fen -chi -ling,
thirteen miles from Ch'i-chiang listen,
he says, we passed into Pa Mien dis-
trict in which the port of Chungking
is situated. No one ever saes t4 cof-
fin without impressed by the sight, and
here we saw them in the piece as •well
as made up. Every house had a cof.
fin or two lying under its eaves, seine
new, some old, and one's first surmise
was that mortality in these parts must
be groat.
The cause was, of course, the :then-
' dance of cypress, a wood that is much
prized for coffin making, and it must
be remembered that in China a coffin
is a very acceptable present, especial-
ly if made by your 01121 family. Hun-
dreds of pounds are often spent on a
single coffin, and it is highly treasured
by the person for whom it: has been
designed: To Western ideas, the
present of a eofiin by a son to a par -
Int would be somewhat sugge.tive,
and the daily sight of it at the house
door would he decidedly annoying. In
China it is otherwise; a coffin is one
of 111'• most valued of gifts.
