IDOL GOES DEVIL HUNTING.
Curious Ceremony Practice to Heal a Sick
Woman IN China.

All of us believe more or less in the devil
and that he comes to torment mankind. and
we try our best to upset his plans or dispose
Of him i'll some way; but all our efforts are
not so sodemonstrative as those Of the Chinese.
To-day, says a Wuhu, China, correspondent
of the New York Sun the devil was sue
ceSSfully caught in fisherInan's net and
afterward burnt in pile of straw, and so
we here in Wuhu, according TO the Chinese
theory, are without a devil.
An old woman here has been i'll for some
time and the priests were called in to decide
what was the matter; their decision was
that she should be shu tup for three DAYS. as
the devil was around. They also decided
that the devil must be caughtand DESTROYED.
So they sent over the river and secured the
services of a noted idol, Ri-Lunguang, the
second dragon King. He reached here
safely in the regulation Chinese chair with
four bearers, and they began first of all to
find out where the medicine was to heal the
old woman. This was done by going round
and round until theywere too dizzy to stand.
and the way the idol fell showed the direc-
ton in which they were to hunt. They
searched half a day. At last, nearing a
dirty pool of water, the idol took a lurch and
away the whole lot went head first into the
pool. They came to the conclusion that

If the African. Iallowed the people to have
a dance that night, and j provided them
with plenty of meat, bananas, and native
beer. At il o'clock we had flreWork dis
play, which greatly astonished the Wan
dorobboS, who became very frightened at
the rockets, some even running away, as
they thought the fireballs in their descent
would annihilate them.
After dinner we brewed a nice bowl Of
punch, and sat far into the nigh spinning
yarns and listening to the frolics of our
natives; for that one night they could do as
they pleased; discipline was relaxed. and
beyond the guard of eight men, no one
was on duty.
There were n great number of roaring
fires about the camp, around which could be
seen the duSky forms of the natives, some
dancing 10 the monotonouS sound of the
African native drum, which is played with
the knuckles; some singing. SOME telling
tales 10 which the others listened i'll rapt
attention, and the whole forming most
picturesque scene, the full moon SHINING
on il and lending it additional charm.
In the distance we could see the snow
on the top of the Kilima-Ndjaro, so that
in the warm tropical night which was so
little in conformity with Christmas, we were
reminded of our Northern homes, where
at that time the ground was covered with
snow. The only drawback in the cele-
bratlOn was the NUMBER OF nillSketOeS,
which kept on singing us all night Next
day-Christmas day proper-we had some
athletic sports for the men, when we gave
them prizes for running and jumping.

CHRISTMAS IN INTERIOR AFRICA.
The trouble was to fix up our Christmas
trees. but we We're all of inventive minds,
and the difficulty was soon arranged.
We stuck the tree firmly in n barrel of
earth; as decorations we used large and
small glass beads. paper tassels, and
candles. which We had cut in halves and
pared down and fixed TO the boughs with
thin Wire.

the elixir of life was in here. for they walked
around that pool for an hour or more and
time after time fell in. Once they lost the
idol for Il time in the water. They then
put him in a tub. but oh, sad to relate, the
idol was too heavy and down went tub, idol
and all. After some time they rescued him
and brought him TO land.
After this they asked the idol for further
instructions, and he told them by mods that
they must search for the devil. The idol
added that ne was in the pond. So they
got big broom and swept him ont and he
ran for graveyard nearby. They soon
located him on top of a grave and then they
drove pitchforks into the ground and poured
a circle Of lime around. Then fisherman $

lie was lei off in triumph to n neiGhboring
field which the idol had pointed out and in
which there was a strawstack. This they
quickly ignitcd and thrcw the net, devil and
all IN, and with great ShOutingS and burst
ings of tirecrackers ne went up in smoke.
While they Were locating the devil three
foreigners went down to where they We're
and asked them why they went first this
way and then that way, and even plunged
into the water while carrying the idol. The
Cinnamon said the idol controlled them.
We foreigners laughed at them, and the
deyil-hunters said: You try and see" We
dld so, but one man wanted TO help. We
let him, but soon discovered that ne kept
swaying his body and thus compelled us to
move.
We called a Christian Chinaman TO take
his place and after that in spite of all the
beating of gongs and ringing of bells the
idol never moved. The bearers then began
to talk to the idol again and we told them
he had ears but could not hear, etc As we
did so one of them came to lis and said
Say, don't preach that way; this is the way
we make our living. We know it is false,
but these people don't, so let us alone, as we
want to make money" Thus every day "a
poor Chinaman is deluded by some one
sharper than himself
The next day another devil put in his
appearance in another village, and noted
idol was brought. While the people were
feasting and worShiping a child thou ght
it would be fun to fire off the firecrackers,
