The Chinese Flee from Rain.
From Lesiie's Weekly.

From Iesis's weekly.
IL II one OF the pecullarities Of the
Chinese TO carefully avoid being caught
in the rain. The chief reason for thls
is that they have a superstition that
drops Of rain falling on the hair breed
vermin, which, with their very long hair.
IL is very difficult for them 10 get rid OF.
They are, however. equally careful not
to wet their feet Their care Of their
feet Is not altogether due 10 the fact
that the soles OF their shoes are made
OF pasteboard and liable TO be injured By
soaking. but also because they be-
lieve that sore feet are brought
about by getting them damp
This fear Of the Chinese OF rain-storms
has had a peculiar effect on their mObs
and armies. Al the time Of the massacre

burned the French consulate. the caths-
