THE GOLDEN CAT.
Leoend Of tho Founding Of Persian
COLLEGE at Mesnsd.

College at Mesnsd.
The following story from the Per-
sian manuscript of which a transla-
ton has been published under the title
'"The Glory of the Shia World" reads
like passage in the ARABIAN
NIGHTS" 1t tells Of Persian at
Meshed who had founded a college
with wealth gained in a remarkable
manner:
"One day q rich merchant asked him
whether he was willing to work at
place to which he would be conducted
blindfolded. Being a fearless kerma-
nj and very poor, he agreed, and was
led through many streets to court
yard, where the bandage was remov-
ed, and he was ordered to dig hole
and bury gold coins and jewelry. This
he did for several days, and. being
searched before he left, he saw no
chance of lettering his condition.
"However, one day he saw cat,
which he killed and ripped open. He
then sewed mp some money and jew
els inside it and threw it over the
wall. After this, when his work was
done, he wandered about until he
found the cat and not only secured the
money hidden III its body, but also
learned the position of the house.
Its owner shortly afterward died,
and the astute Kermani bought his
house with the gold sewed ur inside the
cat. As the merchant had never re-
vealed his secret to any one he became
his heir and. in turn, when dying, be-
queathed his money for the pious task
Of founding and maintaining a co..
lege."

CUSTOM HOUSE FLAGS.

Having No Legal Existence, They Are
Not Protected by Law.
Tradition is responsible for the fly
ing of the revenue flag over the Gus
tom houses of the country, according
to q high ranking member Of that de-
partment.
The flag which floats from the roof
Of the custom house has not only no
legal existence, but is not protected by
law from popular use on land and sea
nor from advertising. as is the na-
tional flag.
The revenue cutter service was es-
tablished under authority of an act Of
congress Of Aug. 4, 1870, as an armed
force. 1t soon became evident that
the vessels of the service should have
some distinguishing flag or mark to
indicate their employment and author
ity. and under an act of congress Of
March 81, 1900, the marker was pro-
vided for. This act set forth that 1.-THE
cutters and boats employed in the
service Of the revenue shall be distin-
guished from other vessels by an en-
sign and pendant, with such marks
thereon as shall be prescribed by the
president"
As is apparent from the act Of con-
gress mentioned and various revisions
Of later date. the revenue ensign was
intended especially for the cutters and
boats of the service, but 1t has long
been displayed over custom houses

PLAcATlNG THE DEVILS.
Paying Homage to Evil Spirits Of
Land and Sea In China.

Paying Homage to Evil Spirits OF
Land and Sea In China.
Once every year, during the first If
teen 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 various forms of prayer,
says the Wide World Magazine. and
making an unearthly noise by beating
gongs.
Any one wishing to show his respect
to the devils can do so by 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 remuner-
alton.
For an extra payment Of 1000 cash
a number Of small red paper boats
about six inches long, with lights in
side. 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.
Having finished this performance.
the person on whose behalf 1t has been
carried out goes away happy In the
conviction that he will not lose any Of
ais family throughout the year either
by sickness or 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 he seen floating
down the Yangtsekiang.
