Why Satan never disturbs q Woman,

Why Catan never 0lSturDS q woman,
Mohammedans relate the follow
ing story as an authentic and yeri-
table piece of '.tradition," illustrative
of the fact that the devil himself
has duties to perform in the world,
and that all things would 60 wrong
if be were to be idle, and neglect
them, viz:
an the days of Mohammed there
was an Arab who had avery pretty
wife Tle devil transformed himself
into so exact and accurate a, likeness
Of her husband that she could not for
the life Of her tell which Of the
two was her husband. Both,claimed
her-i. e., the real husband and the
devil in bis likeness.
1.-The case excited much interest
in the neighborhood, but no solution
of the difficulty conld be obtained.
At length the case was brought be-
fore his majesty, the Prophet, for a
solution. Mohammed after a little
reflection, held up certain earth
pot in his hand with a spout like o
teapot, and said to them both,
"tNow whichever is the real hus.
band, will enter this vessel by the
spout, and thus establish bis claim to
the woman
1The devil, as having more capac-
ity in that way than the sturdy
Arabof real flesh and bones, entered
at once into the pot, as suggested.
The moment he entered, Mohammed
closed the top Of the spout, and kept
him shut In. ..s
.'But by the time Mohammed bad
kept his excellency shut up for few
days in that earthen pot, it was as
certained that the world was getting
wrong in its machinery. Mahom.
med was therefore constrained to
let the devil out from his confne.
ment,. to take his necessary place in
the management Of the affairs of the
world. But before restoring him to
his liberty again, Mohammed extor.
ted q solemn promise from him that
he would never trouble the fair sex
any more, but confins himself to
what he could,do amongst the male
SEX"
