AN IDOL DEvrL-HUNriNG.

Curious Ceremony PrActiced in China -
Heal = Sick Woman.
A gentleman writes from Wuhu,
China, under a recent date: AN old
woman here had 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 shut up for
three days, as the devil was around.
They also decided that the devil must
be caught and destroyed. So they sent
over the river and secured the services
OF the 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 ind out where the medicine
was to heal the old woman. This was
done by going round and round until
they were too dizzy to stand, and the
way the idol fell showed the direction
in which they were to hunt. They
searched half q day. At last, nearing
! dirty pool of water, the idol took
lurch. and away the whole lot went
head nrst into the pool. They came to
the conclusion that the elixir OF life
was in here, for they waded around
that pool for half an hour or more
and time after time fell in. Once they
| lost the idol for a time in the, water.
| They put him In 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 he was in the pond. So
they got broom and swept him out,
| and he ran for a graveyard near BY.
| They soon located him on the top OF a
grave, and then they drove pitchforks
into the ground and poured circle O.
lime around. Then fisherman's net
was spread out over the grave and the
net was rolled up with the forks, and
Mr.. Devil was safely tied up inside. He
was led on in triumph to neighborine
field, which the idol had pointed out
and in which there was a strawstack
This they quickly ignited and threw
the net, devil and all in, and will

crackers he went up in smoke"

Boer would bob up from behind his

would jump up, reply, and then hur-
