HER LOVE OF THE BEAUTIFUL
Woman Wanted Handsome Cats Fur
for Muff, and Man Fled to
Save His Soul.

A man and a woman once went
into a room where a handsome black
cat lay sleeping before the fire.
The woman was fair of face and
richly dressed, and her large hat,
which was in the height of the fash
ion. was covered with the distorted
bodies and tail feathers of birds
which had once been beautiful.
The man admired the woman and
thought she was the gentlest and
fairest thing he had ever met.
AS soon as the woman saw the
handsome cat she went up to it, call
ing it "Poor pussyl" and fondled it.
"How kind she is to everything, /"
the man thought, "and how fond Of
animalsp
Dear pussy" said the woman,
stroking the cat not overgently, 81
would like your skin for a muff."
The cat swore at her after its kind,
for she had rubbed it up the wrong
way and disturbed its sleep. And
after a struggle it ran away.
"What more does she want?" the
man said TO himself. "She has her
hat full of birds, and the skins Of
beasts round her shoulders, now she
wants the cats skin to cover her
hands; next she viii want my soul. /"
And he, too, fed before it was too
late.-F. G. Brunton, in the World.

PAY HOMAGE TO THE DEVILS
Curious Ceremony IN China Which 10
Looked Upon as Insurance
Against Evil Spirits.

Once every year. during the first
fifteen days of the seventh Chinese
month the curious ceremony of Yu-
Nan-Whei is celebrated, being, In
fact, the paying of homage to the land
and sea devils. Seven priests carry
out the ceremony by offering up vari-
GUS forms of prayer and making an
unearthly noise by beating gongs.
ANY one wishing to show his respect
to the devils can do so by a payment
OF 600 cash--about % cents-to each
Of the priests. for which amount they
will continue their performance for
twelve hours-a truly modest remun-
Grafton for gentlemen engaged in the
arduous occupation of propitiating
evil spirits. For an extra payment of
1000 cash a number of small red pa
per boats, about six inches long, with
lights inside, will be sent floating
down the river with the current.
These lights are for the benefit Of the
sea devils, in order that they may be
able to see their way about on dark
nights-a little attention which Il is
to be hoped these maritime demons
appreciate Having finished this per-
Torrance, the person on whose behalf
II has been carried out goes away
happy in the conviction that he will
not lose any of his family throughout
the year either by sickness or by
drowning. so that the whole ceremony
may be looked upon as an insurance
policy. At this time of year many
thousands of the small lighted boats
may be seen floating down the
