Mohammedans divide themselves into
two principal sects-Shiah and Sunni
the Persians representing the bulk Of
the former. the Turks Of the latter
The chief points ON which they differ
are the condition of the soul after deata
and the succession of caliphs. The
Sunni belief is that there is one i'm
mortal God, whose works are without
beginning or end, and that nc will be-
visible to the souls Of the blessed, while
the Shiahs deny the Immortality Of the
soul and maintain that the cuexisfent
principles of Zoroaster viii forever con-
tend for the mastery" With regard to
the prophets Successors, the Sunnis
claim that the lawful successor Of Mo-
hammed was Abu Bekr, and after him

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands OF them
endure the dragging torture OF the ills
peculiar to womankiud IN the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-veeks,
months, year ;. The story of weakness
and torture IS written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin. in the list
less eyes, in the lines Of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain TO humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope Of
relief lies in the exposure of examine
tion and local treatment.
Take ten cases of "fcmale weakness"
and in nine of them "locai treatment"
is unnecessary. There is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub
init to il. R1eE-TREE-S

In one of the medical journals sur
geon recorded some years ago strange
instance of the wanderings of needle
in a lady. The patient called upon him,
stating that the greater portion Of AN
ordinary sewing needle had broken in
the first JOINT of her left thumb. The
surgeon could plainly feel the needle
point, but after Intellectual attempts nc
the extraction OF the foreign body he
recommend d that nothing further
should be done lest the attempts 10 re.
move il might result in greater injury
to the joint.
About year afterward, however, the
patient called upon him 20 inform him
that day or two previously she had
felt a pricking sensation of the right
forchngCr, and having broken the skin
she without difficulty extracted the
portion of the lost needle from the point
of the finger. If all these facts be cor
rect, as reported, the needle travelled
from the left thumb along the arm,
across the chest to the right arm, and
down the latter to tine finger where it
was extracted. d.-Chambers Journal

RAILROAD OFFICE ROBBED
Rock Island Agent Loses Cash by Mys-
terious Affair.
THIEF CONCEALED IN THE TICKET CAGE
Number of Tickets Missing md the
Value of the Property Cannot
lie Determined for Some
Time.

The discovery was made on Wednesday
morning that the ticket office at the Rock
Island depot had been burglarized, the till
broken open and cash and tickets taken.
The amount of money taken was very small
but the number and value of tickets missing
Is more difficult to ascertain. The manner in
which the burglary was committed lends
some interest and a good deal OF mystery to
the affair. When the agent left for the
night he locked up everything in the usual
manner. When he returned In the morning
he found everything open. The door had
been forced open from the inside, indicating
that the thief had managed 20 conceal him
self somewhere in the Office prior to the
time Of closing
Agen. Denton and the other officers of
the company have been quietly working on
the case, but IL any developments have been
made they have said nothing.
Burglars attempted to operate IN small
grocery store at 1917 Broadway about 2
o'clock yesterday murning. The proprietor,
Conrad Raser, sleeps In the store, and was
awakened by the fellows working on the
front door. They cut out a panel OF the
storm door and were working the inner
door when he arose and raped on the door.
The burglars fed without waiting for any
thing else to haDDeD.
