CHINESE SUPERSTITION.
▲ Striking 11 lustration or the Credulity
nnd Ignorance of Mongolian..
Crowds Of people assembled as wo ar-
rived at the ftuj, just before sunset, and
among others I spotted the fine heud of
Hpii4)ld Buddhist priest After a long
confabulation and a few strings of cash,
which passed from my pockets into his
hands, I was able to induce him to sit
for his picture, and 1 dashed oft a sketch
in oils before ho had time to change his
mind. Unfortunately tho largo crowd
that had gathered round, especially the
women folks, seemed to scold him and
talk angrily at him for his silliness in
sitting, owing to tho strange notion
tlint prevails in China, and, in fact,
nearly all over tho east, that if an imago
is reproduced a soul has to be given to
it, and that the person portrayed has to
bo the supplier of it at his own oxpense.
The venerable old Buddhist priest, who
was nursing his “cash" on his lap while
being immortalized on n wooden panel,
and had a curious twinkle in bis eye,
as if he knew better, resisted bravely
for some time and sut like a statue, but
finally had to give in.
/‘•You will die,” cried an old woman
at him. “I saw your son) coming out of
you and go into the picture. I did real-
ly. I saw it. with my own eyes I”
“So did I,” cried a honored other
voices in a chorup.
By the time the priest had got up,
half convinced him that at
bis soul had really gone out
of hint, but had tho soul gone or not
he would go and take the cash for safo
keeping to his home first and complain
and ask for tho restitution T>f liis lost
property afterward. He was a sensible
man. So was I, and knowing what was
coming the moment, he had gone I
went into the room and packed the
sketch safely, then took another clean
panel and smeared it with tho sernpings
of my palette to show him instead, in
case he wonld come back and wish the
pioture destroyed. Twenty minutes had
not elapsed when he was back again, of
without the “cash,” holding his
inch and complaining of internal
‘10^m going to die,” he cried the
___tent he saw me. "Yon have taken
away half my soul!” .
‘.‘Certainly I have,’ said I sternly.
"Yon did not expoot me to give yon all
that ‘oash’ for less than half your soul,
"Oh, not but I wish it baok, as I feel
ao bad without it ”
"All right," said I. "I shall go in
the room and destroy the image I did
of yon. Will yon then be satisfied?
•*Ye®."
Here the other panel smeared with
palette scrapings was produced after
making pretense at destroying it with a
knife, and never in my life have I seen
an expression of relief to equal that of
the priest He had not felt half his soul
so much going out of him, but he cer-
tuinly bad felt it coming back again.
He could swear by it Ho was now per-
fectly well again I
This wonderful cure gave us au a
very busy evening. AH the villagers
who had complaints of any sort came to
ns to be restored to health. A leper who
had lost all his fingers wished me to
make them grow again, and a pitiful
case of a poor child only a few months
old was brought up, whose mother.

There is a groat display of flowered

Many ermine trimmed capes of vel-

satin brocade are exhibited by leading
city importers.
Jet garnitures arc usjd in profusion
both in dress aud millinery. They are
conspicuous this season on all sorts of

It is still observed that at full dress
entertainments the low slippers or

the gloves in oolor than the gown.
