MOlIammedan Crceds.

Mohammedans divide themselves in
to 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 di3er are the condition of the
soul after death and the succession of
Caliphs, says Blackwood's Magazine.
"rhe Sunni belief is that there is
one immortal God, whose works are
without beginning or end, and that
he will be visible to the souls of the
blessed; while the Shiahs deny the
immortality of the soul, and maintain
that the co.existent principles of 20
roaster will ever contend for the mas
terry" With regard to the Prophets
successors, the Sunni claim that the
lawful successor of Mohammed was
Abu Bekr, and after him Omar, Osman
and Ali nephew and son-in.law of Mo-
hammed) the Shah, however, reject
the first three and hold that ALI was
the only legitimate successor.
Shiahs pray but three times n day,
and enioin pilgrimages to Nejef, Ker-
bella, Kazimaip. Meshed (Persia), Sa.
mara and Kun, as well AZ TO Mecca
and Medina. Sunnis make pilgrimages
only to the two latter cities, and pray
five times day. From this it can be
readily understood that the circum-
stances of the Turks being IN posses
sion of the shrines OF Nejef (Meshed
Alil. Kazimain, and Kerbela is most
displeasing to devout Shiahs.

The records of the public schools oi
New York City show that the attend
ance of the Hebrew children is more
regular than the attendance OF the
children of any other class, and that
their standard of scholarship is higher.
No sacrifice is considered too great by
the Hebrew father and mother 20 keep
their children ct school as long as
possible. A Hebrew who cannot read
and write his own snguage at least is
the exception. An educational restric-
tion on education would have no ap-
preciable effect IN excluding Russian
Hebrews. The Hebrews are temper
ate people, and the saloon is not likely
to become an element in their social
and political life. Instead Of beer and
strong alcoholic liquors. they drink
enormous quantities of tea and coffee.
Hebrew immigration is free from the
objection SO commonly urged against
immigration in general, that it in
creases crime and pauperism. The
Hebrew quarter in New York, although
more densely populated than any
other tenement house district, is
rarely the scene of serious brawls OF
distur Dances.
