This time is the ninth day of the ninth month, according to the Chinese calendar. On this day a g festival is held Then every Chinaman who has any regard for 'hts spiritual and physical welfare and can afford a kite and there are few. Indeed, who cannot afford such an inexpensive trifle goes to a hill and files his kite the whole day long. This custom prevails more generally, of course, In the rural districts, for were the Inhabitants of a great city like Canton or Pekin each to send up a kite the strings would become entangled and the very heavens would be darkened with such a collection of paper and string as never waa seen. This custom was originated by a man who bad a strangely realistic dream, In which It was revealed to him that some calamity would befall hla house on a certain day. Wishing to avoid this unknown but Inevitable disaster, he took bis family to a neighboring hill top and amused the children by flying a kite. When he returned home that night he found that hla house had literally fallen to the ground, thus killing all the dogs and pigs that had been left at home to keep house. That set the fashion, and since then whenever the anniversary of that day comes ronnd other families, remembering ths providential escape of thdr countrymen, fly their kites from the hills In the belief that as the paper toys ascend they will carry ofT the evil spirits that might otherwise demolish their own houses and bury them In the ruins should they stay at home. .health has been revealed to me, and It la this: 1 must have the liver of a young monkey to eat "But, my dear, salt! the King, "there la not a monkey ou this side of the world, and how are we to send away across the water to the other side and bring One here? 1 am sure I dont know.
