mountain top is wonderfully suggestive
Of another. feature OF this present age,
the conflict of the church with the
world, the flesh and the devil while the
Lord Jesus is at the right hand of the
Father on behalf Of his tried and
toiling people. We are certainty in Il
great conflict, not with flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against pow
ers, against the rulers Of the darkness
OF this world, against wicked spirits in
heavenly places (Ephesians vi, 12), and
we need the whole ar,nor of God to
stand against the wiles of the devil.
one great trouble Is that we are too
ignorant OF his devices and are apt to be
deceived by his religious activity and
think 1t to be OF God. EVERYTHING that
does not honor Jesus as God and rest
only on his great sacrifice for the for
Ciyeness Of sins. however religious 1t
may seem, cannot be Of God and must
therefore be OF the devil.

POULTRY RAisERs' LOSSES.

Estimates have placed the
losses due to bad handling Of
poultry and eggs at 10 per cent
OF the total value of the product;
estimates also place the total
value Of the poultry and eggs
produced in the United States
at approximately $75O.OG0,00O
year. According to our observa-
tons. the estimate Of 10 per
cent loss is too low. Studies
made in various localities and
at various times indicate that
about 8 per cent of the eggs
which come off the farms are a
total loss before the consumer is
reached. In addition to this are
the enormous losses occurring
through deterioration, though the
eggs may still be marketable

$1,000. 900 FOR A LABORER.
Romance Feature of Big Windfaii
From United states.


London.-A farm laborer, named
Pryce Goodwin Beavan, of Llanigoh,
near Hay, Breconshire. has returned
to his home from America after es-
tablshing his claim to a fortune of ST.
900.
This is the final act of a remark
able romance. Beavan has Inherited
the money from a relative named
Dick Goodwin, who left his farm in
Breconshire thirty-odd years ago un-
der strange circumstances, and after
ward went to Mexico to make the for
tune of which Beavan now becomes
the possessor.
While Goodwin was driving his
reaping machine in one of his fields
two gamekeepers came shooting over
the ground. He told them to go
away, but they continued to fire, and
the horses bolted. Goodwin took a
gun from one of the keepers and beat
them both with the stock of it.
Shortly afterward he received no
tice from his landlord and moved TO
another farm. He lost most of his
stock in the sheep rot of 1879 and
then decided to go to Mexico.
Goodwin died in the United States
some time ago.
