At the end of thirty moons
the grave is opened, the royal bones fas-
together with gold wire and the
skeleton placed in a long building divided
into cells, the doorways to which are
hung with silk curtains.
Then on his birthday the king of
tee goes early to the house of the royal
dead. Every skeleton is taken from its
richly ornamented coffin, where it hag
lain surrounded by the things which had
been most pleasing to it in life, and is
placed on a chair to welcome its visitor.
As the king enters each cell with a meat
and drink offering to the departed, the
band plays the favorite melodies of that
particular king, and, unawares, the royal
visitor signs to the executioners, who
have followed him, and an attendant is
pierced through the cheeks and killed,
tho king washing the skeleton in
warm blood. The same work goes on at
tho next cell, and so on, the fearful work-
going on far into tho night. Tho band

Of course this constant killing makes the

to death is not courage, but apathy. The
