With a little executive ability, and, in
case the object be man, just tinge
of judicious fiattery, this can be accom-

our heads against d stone wall; then
something must GO, and it is generally
not the wall. This is as fatiguing Il
process in the mental faculties as
standing on tiptoe is to the muscles
of the foot; but the mental exercise,
like the athletic, has its advantages.
The rider of one hobby has generally
another in training, if not in actual

himself interesting on either of the

RENOUNCE CHRISTMAS.
Mohammedans, Brah minis and Buddhis1s
Deny the Holiness of Christ

DENY the Holiness OF christ
There are millions upon millions OF
people in the world who will not cele-
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 so 900 of them, and they believe
in trausmigraton of the soul. I'hey
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 them
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud
xIhists. Japanese. Chinese, Brahmlns
and Mohammedans. There is no God
but Allah" says the Mohammedans,
land Mohammed is His prophet Mo-
bammed's followers also have curious
notions i'm regard to the fate of the un-
believers children. Some believe that
these children act as the servants OF
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham'
med is recorded as saying on one oc'
casion to his wife:
IF thou desirest L cam make thee
hear their cries in hades."
Other Mohammedan authorities
however, dissent from this view, and
one of them boldly says: Il know thai
Allah will not torment those who have
not committed any sin"

AINHUM, or the dropping off or self
amputation of little toe, originating
in Brazil and so far confined to negroes
only, is a disease SO rare that the third
case known in the United States is now
bang treated at the Southern Medical
college at Atlanta, Georgia. The vic
tim in this instance is a negro woman,
the disease is of thirty years standing,
and one of the toes on the right foot
had almost amputated itself The
theory of the disease is that the negroes
having fiat feet, the ball of the foot is
thereby pressed against the ground,
receiving severe shock with each mo-
ton, which gradually destroys and
cuts of the member.
