sEss,E's GREAT SACRIFICE.
She Isat sofry for . Baby Who Had No
Doll

She Felt Sorry for . BABY Who Had No
Doll
The stockings had been hung up and
the little ones gathered around the
hearth to hear mamma tell the story
of the Babe of Bethlehem, says the
New York World. Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when
they heard bow the Son of God was
born in stable, how He lay on bed
Of straw. how He shivered in the cool
December night and how His life was
in danger from the wicked Herod. Lit
tie Bessie seemed TO be particularly i'm
pressed. She said nothing, but one
could see that she was thinking hard
When, half an hour later, mamma
cuue 70 Bessie's bed to kiss her good
night, She found the child pressing her
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. AS she stopped
over the bed Bessie looked up and
asked, earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods
baby got any dolly?"
"No." replied the mother, smiling.
Bessie looked at her doll again and
hugged it. Then conflicting emotions
showed Themselves on the little face.
After . long silence tho child raised
her eyes, which had such an expression
as those OF the martyrs must have worn
At the stake. and aaid. firmly: Take
1t to Him. mamms."
Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the
doll in her mothers hands and buried
her face in the pillow to try to forget
the grest sacrifice she had made.

RENOuNCE CHRISTMAS.
Mohanmedans, Brah Enius and Buddhists
Deny tho Holiness of Christ.

Theirs are millions upon millions OF
people in the world who will not eele-
brate Christmas, and there are other
millions to whom Christmas is objec-
tionable, says the New York Herald.
Take the followers of Mohammed;
for instance. They are divided into
40 or so different sects, among which
are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There are
about $4,000 of them. and they believe
in transmigrution of the soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
them the story Of the birth and life
of Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
fess to have knowledge that God has
visited the world 234 times. but they
do not believe in Christ. For thent
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud
Lhists, Japanese, Chinese, Brlhmins
and MohaunmeGans There is no God
but Allah" says the Mohammedans.
"and Mohnmmed is His prophet Mo-
hammed's followers also have curious
notions in regard to the fate of the un-
believers children. Some believe that

the faithful in Paradise, and Mohan-
mod 80 recorded eeying ON ono oc-
casion to his wife:
"If thou desirest I can make thee
hear their cries in hades."
Other Mohammedan authorities,
however. dissent from this view, and
one OF them boldly says: II know that
Allah will not torment those who have
not committed any sin"

HER TREASURE.
A Georgia Woman who Has = Sock
Fall of Gold,

Mary Odom, a sexagenarian, residing
somewhere in the neighborhood of Au-
raria, is the happy owner of a sockful
of gold, says a southern exchange.
Wien a girl Of 16 she adopted profess
sion, gold-panning about in the branch
es during her leisure hours, and she BE-
came so well acquainted and infatuated
with the king metal that she finally
adopted the panning business altogeth-
er, and has kept it up ever since, always
being as assiduous to business as .
Judge OF the supreme court. When she
made gold panning profession she
found the lovely metal wherever she
scooped her shovel under the gravel OF
the branches At times innumerable
this woman has made four and five pen
nyweights per week, making it rule in
every instance to hoard away one-half
the amount of gold made. For instance
when she panned out so cents worth OF
gold and needed 81 in goods from the
store, she would pay the merchant rs
ceLts and have the balance entered upon
his books against her until she struck .
richer streak. By this method of doing
business the woman has kept out OF
debt. made q good support, and now has
sockful of shining gold to dream over
at nIgnU. ana now, after the age Of 90,
she stills pans about in the branches,
and saves half the gold she makes for
her heirs to scramble over after she has
crossed in her batteau the wide river on
the other side. There has been great
deal of mining in this country and arti-
clts not herein numbered written on the
subject, but Mary Odom's historical ca
reer in the gold mining business sur
passes anything we have ever become
aware Of in this line.

The Ubiquitous Shirt-Waist.

Of the making Of shirt waists there is
still no end, and though the changes in
style are very slight there are variations
which give the seasons distinctive
touch. The passing of the large. baggy-
its incoming did last year, and, in con-
sequence, two year-Old waist looks
more up to date than one of last season.
All shirt-waists are finished at the neck
SO they can be worn with or without
linen collars. Moire velours in every
bright color, as well as black and white,
is made up in these negligee styles, but
it is 80 handsome fabric that it is ex-
tremely unsuitable: satins, also, in all
bright colors are used, and some very
conspicuous plaids. The best taste
selects the pretty fancy-patterned or
changeable taffetas in colors harmonic
ing with the skirt, and black or brown
satins for the incest OF these waists; and
for lighter weight, the neat Habutai
stripes, which launder as well as cam
brcs, and the new silk-striped batistes
and mOhairs. The latter fabric is as
transparent as grenadine, and requires
lining of lawn or plain India silk
