It is suggested, May the Teachlng. of Mohamtnaed Webb Prove-Somethiug About the, Itettgions of Other Loads. Buddhism and Bludodism. A very amiable and lovable man, Mr. Mohammed Webb, is in this country looking over the field to decide whether or not the United States is a promising field for the exploiting of the Moham medan faith. Ilb does not undertake to make proselytes to his religion without giving the faiths aire tdy in the field fair notice of hi ure? at.k int lens.

To uuplo the simile synthetically. we t , tandinc to hile tte Mohammedan ha 'eess up four or more in hand. Among the fen urts that ought to ciom mend Mohamnmn-lanisin to a large pro portion of our citizens is its stanch de votion to absent ion from strong drink. Belief in God is admitted and enjoined. As in Buddhism, kindness to all animals is commande I. Its conception of pur gatory is picturesque, for good and bad souls alike have to cross the bridge Al Sirat, that spans hell and is described as finer than a hair and sharper than the edge of a sword. Many a believing Christian will take considerable comfort in the thought that the Mohantnedan finds it quite as difficult to attain the kingdom of heaven as does he. Predes tination was a cardinal doctrine of the prophet, but we Christians have been wont to ascribe its promulgation to the' political motive of rendering his follow. I ers contemptuous of danger and suffer ing. The Mohammedan religion is simple enough and is divided into faith and practice-the latter including prayer, almsgiving, fasting and a pilgrimage to Mecca. Taken by and large, it is a thor oughly practical religion for the race who lead nohnadic lives, and one pre eminently calculated for propagation at the sword's point. It is the latest of all the great faiths of the world. only dating back to 622 A. D., while Buddhism is probably of 1,.200 years earlir origin and Hindooisnt f04) years -a urhr still.

But it offers nothing better than extinction: no God, no soul. no hope-gave annihila tion! It is a dream of p1ace-of eternal sleep, Nirvana coritng to the believer like the snuffing out of a tapet. Bud dhism never has been are ligion of fanati cism, but has always been charitable and tolerant. If the millions of negro s in the gulf states, who are today in the grossest in tellectual and nmral ignorance. could have formulated for their use a new creed uniting sonse of the beautiful teachings of Gautamaa and Mohammed, they might be guided in the direction of purer and nobler lives. Christianity could come later if they felt the need of it, but we do not believe that any man or woman who knows the facts regard ing the class to which we refer will deny that Mohammedanism or Buddhism, properly introduced and preached. would .dvance the condition of that part of the race. Great schools like the Vai derbilt and Lincoln universities and the institution at Raleigh do not reach the ticeields of Georgia, the cotton planta tiese of South Carolina or the swamps at Mmiusissppi and Louisiana. Bere are great missionary fields, and, without prejudice, they can be honestly secommended to the advance guard of Ihebeneficent missionary hosts that may be expected to Bock to this country if a I Mohammedan or Buddhist propaganda be decided upon.-Juliue Chambers in New York Recorder.

The Bella Cole si trditii ii is as follows: The creator of the universe, Mes-mes sa-la-nik. had gseat difficulty in the ar rangem-ent of the lind and water. The earth is rsisted in sinking out of sight. At last he hit upon a plan which worked very well. Taking a lnug line of twisted walrus hide he tied it iround the dry land and fast, ned the other end to the corner of the moon. Everything worked well for along time. but at last the spirit I became very ntnchoffendedat the action of mankind, tnd in a tit of anger oun it seized his gritt stone knife and with a mighty lack sw(vered the rope of twisted skin. iiinwliat¶.l the land began to sink into tie sea. The angry waves rushed in torrunts up the valleys. and in a short tinme nothing was visible except the peak of a very high mountain. All mankind lperished in the whelming waters with the exception of two, a man and his wife, who were out fishing in a big canoe. These two succeeded in reaching the top of the mountain and proceeded to make themselves at home. Here they remained for some time until the anger of Mes-nes-sa-la-nik cooled, which resulted in his fishing up the sev ered throng and again fastening it to the moon. From this pair thus saved the earth was again plipiulated.-Victoria(B. C.) Colonist. Mluch Ietter Than fegging.

Finally -he hired him to carry her um brella to her office. and on their way thither she gave him a dissertation on labor and its fruits in phrases she thought he would understand. She advised him to go into the newspaper business and loaned him 20 cents to invest in papers, after he had signed his name to a con tract she drew up, promising to pay her immediately he had cleared that amount. In an hour anti a half he came back to the office proudly and deposited the money loaned on her desk. She took 10 cents of it. and he kept the other to make further inveintmentts. The next day he cleared i1.:.l.. He was radiant. *TThis is tbtter than begging, isn't it?' she asked. "You bet." he said.

A B.elief That Proves Troublesome, A recently returned eastern missionary says that a small, but persistent, vexa tion in household affairs is the firm be lief in the transmigration of souls amoug one's Buddhist servants and its often ludicrous consequences. For instance, once on shipboard the sailors were di rected to kill the cockroachsswith which the vessel was infested. This they dared not do, fearing that some ancestor's spirit might be imprisoned in that most un likely form. They approached the ver min gently, lifted them up on sheets of paper and dropped them overboard in a manner almost tender and quite defer ential.

Sosse one has said that not one man iii a dosen knows how to wear a dress coat. and it is quite as true that a large num ber of individuals do not have any idea how to wear a hat. One man can wear his hat at the back of his head and look well dressed, while another having hip bat in that position would look as though he were recovering from a protracted round of dissipation. It is just the same with the other I:ositions. on the top of the head. on either side or drawn over the forehead. It is knowing how to wear a hat which makes it look well, and the knowlelg. often enables the poor man to look moore dressy in a cheap hat than his richer neighborin a much more cost ly one The time the knowledge is a saving one is when buying a ait. A good sales man will take care that a customer gets a hat that will fit him when worn in the position which is most becoming to that individual, but unss this is taken care of by either purchbaser or salesman there will be little satisfaction from the pur chase and the hat will probably blew off at the smallest provocation.
