Millions of graves are scattered over the lields, their loca-1 Hon directed by the complicated rules : of feng shui. In some sections of the i country more than one-sixth of tlie tillable urea is covered with graves of j estimable but now useless ancestors, j and sometimes when a young man falls heir to a farm he linds that it is j a farm full of graves, and his biggest J crop is a crop of duty to dead and I half-forgotten ancestors. Chinese women didn't wait for the outbreak of war to put on trousers and volunteer for work in the fields. They have been wearing trousers for many centuries and for many more they have been helping the beans aud potatoes to do their bit for their country. The Chiueso sages have had a great deal to say about tin inferiority of woman, but when it comes to digging in the fields the Chinese worn-j an is equal to any man.
