If a dead ]nan has nothing sent to him in this way, the Chinese say he is as badly off as those who die at sea or in war or in foreign lands, wdio cannot be fed and clothed by their friends, because no one knows wdiere they are buried, and therefore cannot get at their spirits. All these neglected ones have to depend on public charity for all 252 THINGS THAT ARE NOT CELESTIAL. They want, aud if their needs are uot supplied, they will torment living peo^^le by making them ill ; so in a Chinese c...ity, at the gates, by the bridges, at every corner, is to be seen a niche, where offerings are made to these spirits. The Chinese are much more ready to give to dead beggars than to living ones, because they do not give for the sake of doing good to others, but for the sake of sparing suffering for themselves. The beginning of the practice of feeding dead beggars was in the early years of the Ming emperors. One of them lost the bodies of his father and mother, and was so grieved not to be able to sacrifice at their tombs, that he ordered all his subjects to sacrifice three times every year to the spirits of those whose graves were not known.
