GOSHEN.

GOSHEN, Feb. 2S.-On the evening of
the end inst. the Death Angel invaded
the home of Rev. and Mrs. II. G. Jarratt
and claimed for his prize their noble
son, William. He was patient suffer
er for about seven weeks with that
dreaded disease, consumption, and died
triumphant death in the Saviour's
love. Solomon tells us, "a good name
Is rather to be chosen than great riches,
and loving favor rather than silver and
gold.' Will possessed a good name,
and 1T seems so hard that he was taken
just in the dawn of manhood, when life
was so promising and prospects 50 fair
Tor pleasure and happiness; but the
All-wise Father knew it was best t.
break the family circle, and called this
one up higher, to live with Him and the
angels. May the surviving ones so live
in this world that after death they will
hear the words of the Saviour, "Come,
ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
Kingdom prepared for you from the
foundations Of the world" Funeral
services were conducted at the home of
the deceased brother by the pastor n. b.
Owings; burial at Goshen graveyard
We enjoyed most excellent sermon
this morning, delivered by our pastor,
from the text: submit yourselves
therefore to God" Brother Owings
certainly makes it tough" on the
church members who are trying to hold
the world in one hand and Christ in the
other. That is one thing the matter
with our churches to-day there are so
many that are christians by name but
not by practice; they are, therefore,
stumbling blocks in the way of sinners.

FOOD IN THE ARCTIC.
Birds Have No Difficulty Finding 1t In the
Snow.

Birds Have No Difficulty Finding 1t In the
Snow.
The number of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. " They go not by thousands,
but by millions, to rear their young on
the tundra. The cause which attracts
them is because nowhere in the world
does nature provide at the same time
and in the same place "such a lavish
prodigality of food" That the barren
swamp of the tundra should yield food
supply so great as to tempt birds to
make journeys of thousands of miles to
rear their young in land of plenty,
only to be found beyond the arctic cir
Gle, seems incredible. The vegetation
consists of cranberry, cloudberry and
crowberry bushes. Forced by the per-
petual sunshine of the arctic summer
these bear enormous crops of fruit. But
the crop is not ripe until the middle and
end of the arctic summer, and if the
fruit eating birds had to wait until it
was ripe they would starve, for they
arrive on the very day of the melting Of
the snow. But each year the snow de-
sends on its immense crop of ripe fruit
before the birds have time to gather it.
1t is then preserved beneath the snow,
perfectly fresh and pure, and the melt
ing of the snow discloses the bushes
with the unconsumed last years crop
hanging on them or lying, ready to be
eaten, on the ground The frozen meal
stretches across the breadth of Asia. 1t
never decays and is accessible the mo-
ment the snow melts. Ages have taught
the birds that they have only to fly to
the arctic circle to find such a store of
"crystallized foods" as will last them
till the bushes are once more forced into
bearing by the perpetual sunlight. The
same heat which frees the fruit brings
into being the most prolific insect life
in the world. The mosquito swarms on
the tundra No European can live there
without veil after the snow melts. The
gun barrels are black with them, and
the cloud often obscures the sight. Thus
the insect eating birds have only to open
their mouths to fill them with mosqui-
toes, and the presence of swarms of ten
der warblers, of cliff chaffs, pipits and
wagtails in this arctic region is ac-
counted for. New York Evangelist
