Strange, indoed, as it may appear to foreigners, tho fact nevertheless oxists that the cause of the present troubles is attributable solely and simply to the Fengshui. The exact state of affairs—it is well known that lack of accuracy is one of the Chinese foibles-is not precisely known, but from various reports to hand it is gathored that one of the villages in the Slao An district, inhabited by Shen people, enjoyed for quite a considerable time an immunity from all mishaps. But by force of circumstancen the proverbial tide of luck, uncontrollable by mortais, turned in a very anfavourable direction, so that misfortunes of various natures have befallen the said village. The inhabitants laid the cause of all that happened at the door of the contiguons village, which they avenand of having, through certain misdeeds, bronglit the Fengshui over them. Whereupon these twe villages began fighting, a state of affairs which
