A poor old woman in China, who ■
had been converted, but who seemed
unwilling to be baptized, was asked
why site hesitated. “Why,” site ro- j
plied, with the tears running down ;
her cheeks, “you know Mmt .lestis said
to his disciples ‘Go ye into all the
world and preach (lie gospel to every
creature.’ Now 1 am an old woman
nearly seventy years of age and al
most blind. I can tell my husband
about Jesus Christ, and I can tell my
non, and Ills wife when he has one; I
am willing to speak to my neighbors,
and perhaps I enn go to one or two
villages, but lean never go to all the
world. Now, tin you think lie wilj let \
mo enll myself a disciple, if I can do
no belter than that?” When site
beam that the Lord asked only for
the best from oacll of Ills followers,
and docs not require from any ono
more then lie can do, she said gladly:
“O, then 1 tint ready to bo baptized
whenever you think best.” if all the
.baptized disciples of the Lord were as
-conscientious In their reading of IHh
words ns was this poor old woman,
certainly there would be no lack of
missionaries.
Tito Burmese write prayers on slips
of paper, and fasten them into slits
made in wands of bamboo. These
wands with the prayers at the end of
them are then held up before the idols
in the Buddhist temples and waved
to and Iro, In some parts of Africa
.itiey make marks signifying prayers,
with-ft burned stick on a board. The
marks nto then washed oft', and the |
water with which the board is washed |
Is given to the sick, who are Http - [
posi t! to get the good of the prayers.
In Thibet they have round boxes
which revolve by means or a string. |
Into these cylinders they put written !
prayers, and whunover they feel dis- j
posed, take them up and spin them, ;
imagining they arc praying, liven on I

H ere Is a striking prayer of one id
the Hunan Christians: “O Lord, thou
knowest that Huimn means south of
the lake, and Hupeh north of the
lake; the lake is Tung Ting. Thou
knowest, Lord, that there are more
people In these two provinces than
there art) tis.h in the lake; and Thou
hast sent us to be ilshers of men. In
many places the gospel net has not
boon lot down, and there is no means
of cutehiug tiie llsli, nor is there any
fishermen. We pray thee, Lord, to
grant that In every place there may
be a gospel net and skillful Usher-
men.”—[Missionary Review.

He is forever active. He lias pur

The sainted Baxter’s one regret at
the close of his life was couched in
those words: "1 remember no one sin
that my conscience doth so much ac
cuse and judge me for, as for doing so
little for the saving of men’s souls, 1
and dealing no more fervently and
earnestly with them for their con- j
version.”
The rose shows little beauty until it
unfolds its petals from over its heart
and lifts ita face upward toward the
•un. And no life finds gladness and
usefulness until it turns from self,
looking away front self, looking to
ward the Christ.—[Selected.

the room he told the justice of the

All Honest Man.
An honest mail will not buy what
lie knows he cannot pay for; ho will |
not borrow money when ho can see
no way to pay it back; if lie cannot
meet an obligation lie will come for
ward in a manly way and tell Ids
creditor the whole truth; he will not
hide out when pay day comes, but will
face tho world and say: “I cannot
now meet it, but give me time and I
will; 1 will not run away from my
debts.” Such a man as that can al
ways get credit, be he ever so poor.
Tlie business world iB beginning to
place more coutldence-in good moral
security than in t he best of real estate
and money collateral. This puts a
premium on honesty. A man’s mon
ey may slip through his lingers, but if
he be a mail of honor he will always
be willing to pay what lie owes, and
some day God’s bounteous hand will
be held out to him, and lie will not
only be willing, but ready. After all,
there Is much truth In the old saying
about honesty being the best policy,
and in Rope’s famous line: “Ail hon
est man’s tlie noblest work of God.”
Let’s be honest ; we can’t afford to
be otherwise. God intended tHat wo
be honest and true.
I have given Chamberlain’s Cough

Music in a Tomb.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mrs. Ireland, widow of Robert Ire
land, has decided to make Saratoga
her home, tlie better to carry out'Hie
instructions of her husband, whose
body rests in ft vault in Greenrldgo
cemetery annex, near Saratoga.
Mr' Ireland, who died four months
ago, was passionately fond of ‘music.
Long ago bo requested that, which
ever of tho two departed first, the
Burvlvor should honor the memory of
tho doceased by having a music
box or some similar instrument
placed in the sepulcher and played ut
frequent intervals.
Sexton Moulin agreed to allow Mrs.
Ireland to plnce a small oak table at
tho head of tlie casket, on which
were a handsome music box and a
vase of llowers. Widow Ireland, who
carries tho key of tlie music box,
visits tlie cemetery daily, rain or
shine, and pays musical reverence to
tho memory of tlie deceased. While
tlie favorite airs of sacred melody are
being,rendered she calmly sits on the
casket close to tlie vnrto and lovingly
communes with the spirit of tlie de
ceased. More than 200 bodies are
stored in the big vault, and as tlie
silence is so dense that a heartbeat
almost creates an eelio, the impres
sive but weird notes of the music
tloating over the caskets and emerg
ing through the iron-grated doors
fairly border on the supernatural.
Children and adults tortured by
burns, scalds, injuries, eczema or skin
diseases may secure instant relief by
using DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. It
is tlie great pile remedy. G. R. Bradley.
Germany’s Dog Law.
Rabies in dogs and hydrophobia in
men are almost unknown-in Germany,
the elimination of the maladies being
largely attributable to the strict su
pervision exercised by the authorities
over the eniiitio population. During
the llrst fortnight of the year every
dog in the empire must be taken to
tho nearest police station and careful
ly examined by a veterinary surgeon,
who destroys painlessly any animal
suffering from an incurable disease or
so old as to be a nuisance. If an ani
mal pnss muster, the owner pays a tax
and receives a disk to be suspended
from tlie dog’s neek, a different color
each year enabling the police at a
glance to discern whether the dog is
on the eligible list. In addition to
the disk the owner receives a paper
minutely describing the animal, and
containing information regarding tlie
symptom's of rabies in the early
stages. Delay in tax payment doubles
the tax; the owner is fined for allow
ing his dog to be on the street with
out a label; ownerless dogs are de
stroyed, and muzzling is compulsory
when rabies breaks out in a neighbor
hood, when very large dogs are taken
through the streets and where ani
mals are known to be vicious. In
consequence of which regulations the

“Ah, Mr. Cbauncey M. Depew!”
exclaimed Prof. Morris, head of the
mechanical department of Cornell
University, as an unexpected visitor
entered; “I’m very g.ad to see you,
for I claim you as an old acquaint
ance.”
“How’s that?” nsked Mr. Depew.
“I used to work for the New York
Central railroad,” was the professor’s
answer.
“Indeed! In what department?”
“Oh, juot in the ranks.”
“How did you get there?” asked
Depew.
“I was first a fireman on an engine.
That was a tough job, but it led up to
the position of engineer. I made up
my mind to get an education. I stud
ied ut night and fitted myself fer
Union College, running all tho time
with mv locomotive. I procured
books and attended, as far as possible,
the lectures and recitations. I kept
up with my class, and on the dgy of
graduation I left my engine, washed
up, put on the gown and cap, deliver
ed my thesis and received mv diplo
ma, put the gown and'cap in the
closet, put on my working shirt, got
on my engine, and made my usual
run that day.”
“Then,” said Depew “I knew how
he became Prof. Morris. It. was sim
ply by doing each duty faithfully ; s
ho came to if, and preparing lor the
next.”

“Yes, I know it,” she replied, “but
