The Safest Part of a Train.

A party of travellers in train
were talking over their travelling
experience and the danger of ac-
cidents, and finally the question
arose as to the safest part of the
train. Failing to settle the ques-
ton among themselves, they call
ed ON the guard, and one of them
said to him;
"Guard, we have been discuss
lug the matter of the safest part
of the train and want to know
your opinion. "
"Want to know the safest part,
eh?" replied the guard.
"Yes' that's it. "
"Well," continued the guard,

EIGHT THOUSAND A YEAR.

A millionaire in San Francisco,
being a helpless invalid, hired a
woman, who was professional
nurse, to take care of him. She,
of course, had her living and
whatever she needed for perso-
nal expenses from time to time,
but no fixed salary. The man
fingered for three years, and
when he died she brought claim
against his estate for S24, 600
She alleged that, over and above
all that she had received, her SER
vices were worth $4,000 a year,
or more than 500 a day. Would
she have ever dreamed of making
such claim if the invalid had not
been millionaire? The incident
reminds me of an old story. A
king stopped for luncheon at a
rural tavern in his kingdom. He
ordered merely three boiled eggs
with bread and coffee. When the
landlord presented the bill for
$500 the king said; "Why," eggs
must be very scarce out here, if
they are worth 500 apiece. "
And the reply was; "No, Your
Majesty, eggs are plentiful, but
kings are scarce.

THE CHINESE NEw.YEAR.

''The New-year's festival of the
Chinese, said to be the most
complete holiday season kept by
any nation of the earth, is cele-
brated wherever single China
man is found, whether in Pekin
or New York" writes Belle M.
Brain in January "Woman' s
Home Companion" discussing
"New Years Customs in the Or
lent" "It is a movable festi-
val, falling on any date between
January 21st and February 10Th.
Preparations for the great holi-
day begin weeks beforehand
The accumulated dirt of many
months disappears as if by ma
gic. Even the Chinaman. him
self, passes through the cleaning
process, washing his clothes and
bathing his person--the latter
being a great event in the lives of
few, since it occurs but once u
year!
Buildings of every descrip-
ton are elaborately decorated.
Flowers are in great demand, the
favorite being the Chinese mar
cissus. The prospect of happiness
for the year is believed to be in
proportion to the number of flow
erstalks produced from single
bulb.
During the closing days of
the old year Chinese streets pre-
sent busy and animated scene.
Shops are thronged with custo-
mers eagerly laying in large
quantities of food, clothing and
New Years gifts Debtors end
creditors are seen hurrying to
and fro, endeavoring to settle
their accounts, for according to a
most commendable cnstom all
debts must be paid or settled in
some satisfactory manner before
the New Year dawns. To meet
these liabilities shopkeepers Of
fer their goods at un-heard- of
prices, and families frequently
part with odd bits of bric-a- brac,
curious relics and valuable orna-
ments for sum pitifully small.
No disgrace is equal to being
found on New Years morning
with an unpaid debt. On the 9th
er hand, the creditor who fails tc
collect his debts at this time may
not press them again for many
months. He therefore pursues
his debtor far into the night, con
tinuing his search into the New
Years day if necessary. This
he may do if he carries lighted
lantern to indicate that he is still
engaged in last nights business
and has not discovered that the
day has dawned.

THE DEATH OF MIR. MOODY.

The whole Christian world has
been made to sorrow ON account
of the death of Mr.. Dwight J..
Moody, the great evangelist,
which occurred on Friday, De
cember 90. He had been lying
i'll at his home I'm Northfeld,
Mass, for some weeks, and
Christian people had been pray
ing that, if it were Gods will, he
might recover But it was not
to be so, and he has been called
to higher service. He is blessed.
He rests from his labors. His
works do and will follow him.
Mr.. Moody has held the place
for many years as perhaps the
most prominent and widely eff
fective evangelist in the world.
For something like thirty years
he has filed large place in the
work of the church During
these years he has been wonder
fully led by Gods Spirit. He has
been wise and sagacious in his
plans; powerful and persuasive
in his preaching of the Gospel;
influential as a leader and safe as
a teacher. He has commended
himself to minister's and to peo-
pie, and has been a tower of
strength in the evangelist
Church.
During the first half of his life
he was in business, but he was
gaining mental and spiritual fit
ness for the great life work into
which God directed him. We
have known him and have heard
him almost every year since the
time when he was beginning his
.cligious work in connection with
the 4onng Mems Christian Asso-
citation of Chicago. While al
ways impressed by his spiritual
fervor and by his true evangelical
faith, we have greatly admired
him for his possession and eXer-
else of sound common sense All
his natural abilities were quick
ened and sanctitied by God S
Spirit, and the result was a most
uncommon man, such as this gen
GRAFTON may not look upon again.
Mr.. Moody was only sixty-two
years of age at the time of his
death. 1t was not long life, and
yet he did a great life-work. Few
men have done as much. We
may we'll thank God that he per-
mitted him to live so long.
His last public appearance was
on Thursday, November 16, in
Kansas City, when he addressed
great congregation of fifteen
thousand people, making a won,
derful impression. Many re-
garded it as one of the most ten
der and powerful sermons of his
life. He has gone from earth,
but his works will follow him.
Being dead, he yet speaketh.
His memory and his words and
influence will continue to be d
power for God, and for the saliva
tion of souls.
