For sale by Coo sa 4 Broefe , RENOUNCE CHRISTMAS. Mohammedans, Brahmins and Buddhists Deny tba .Holiness of Christ There ere million upon millions of people in the world who will not ccle brabe Christmas, and there are other millions to whom Christmas is objec tionable, says the. New York Herald. Take the followers of Moiiammed, for instance. They aire divided into 40 or 50 different sects, among which are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There arc about 50,000 of them, and they believt in transmigration of the soul. They believe that men's 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 tihe world 234 times, but thej do not believe in Christ. For them Christmas has no significance. It is equally disregarded by Bud dhists, Japanese, Chinese, Brahmins and Mohammedans. "There is no God but Allah," says the Mohammedans, "and Mohammed is His prophet." Mo hammed's fololweirs also have curious notions in regard to the fate of tilie 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 I can make thee hear tiheir cries in hades." Other Mohammedan authorities, however, dissent from this view, and one of them boldly says: "I know that Allah will not torment thosewho have not committed any sin." DRAW HIM OUT. The Finest Art of Flirtation Is Adapta b llty. The finest art of flirtation is adapta bility, says Lippincott's. I do not mean altogether to mold one's self after the mind or mood of the object of one's solicitude, but. as rapidly as possible to discover the broad lines of his or her cluwaieter and disposition, then, with the courage of a military leader, turn the force of our friend, the enemy, in that channel which may best please one's own intelligence and purpose. With a little executive ability, and, in case the object be a man, just a tinge of judicious flattery, this can be accom plished. Sometimes, of course, we run our heatls against a stone wall; then something must go, and it is generally not the wall. This is as fat truing u process in the mental faculties as stalling 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 gent-rally another in training, if not in actual use; and the man who cannot make himself interesting on either of the subjects that most absorb his own in terests is not worth one's solicitude, ond therefore proves nothing. "Sup pressed stupidities avail themselves of extraordinary opportunities to come to light," says Heine. But there are few people in the world, except those who ly undue garrulousne&s give an un necessarily emphasized illustration of imbecility, and will not, if taken in the right spirit and treated with a certain Indulgence, prove entertaining from one standpoint or another. HE FOOLED THE "BARKER. Supposed easterner Only Wanted to Light Bis Pipe. "Overcoats, halts, suits, boots and shoes at half price best in town lit you or treat you more goods for less money -wnole atock must be . Step right in, air. Overcoat, tiir? Step right in." The barker in front of a State street clothing house was earning his money, and he knew it, soys the I "liiongo l'ost. The customer he had caught wos tall and thin and only tolerably well clad. A new overcoat was especally needed. He looked along the line displayed, took note of price, and at last aeemed overpTMuaded by the barker and turned in at the entering of the door. The barker watched him, tossing aft er him scraps of guaranty ond frag ment of recommendation. The shabby, thin man had been "worked off the street," and was at last clearly witihin tho door. There he took a filled pipe from Si is left-hand pocket, arnatch from hm right-hand pocket, and stand ing where the receaa and the dressed duniniie protected him from the wind, lighted bis pipe, buttoned bis frayed overcoat and passed on. "Overcoats, hats, suits, boots dad- bing him, he fooled me and ahoea at half price beat in town," resumed the barker, and looked for fresh victims. A Legend of Lombard. An old Lombard legend tells the atorv of a chieftain who asked the hand of a neighbor's daughter. Upon its being refused him he dec In red war, killed the chief who had declined the honor of be ing hia father-in-law, and married the girl after all. Not aatiafled with this much, he hod the skull of hia wife's fa ther mounted in gold aa a drinkln;rcup, and one day, wbile under the influence of wine, ordered his spouse to appear before the assembled gueata at hia house and drink to bis health out of the nornoie oowi. &ne aid so, but ever after woa her husband's secret but nicest ucauiy enemy, noe loinea in a con- .1 .ii n. . . . . r.piracy w hich eventually resulted in tho king her husband a asaaaainstion.
