went To Smyrna. where his sister had
married missionary, the Rev. Josiah
Brewer, who had undertaken an edu-
catipnal mission to the Greeks and here
acquired a knowledge Of oriental Ian
guages. Returning to this country

of what afterward grew to be thriv-
ing town.

Justice Field was elected alcalde of the
place. This office carried with it the
dignity Of mayor and at the same time
imposed all the duties Of the bench
Here the future jurist dispensed justice
and made his name widely known

happiest days of his life were when he
dealt out justice in Marysville behind

his office of alcalde:
ALCALDE OF A MINING CAMP.

Washington, April 19-JuStice Stephen
J. Field of the United States supreme
court. retired, died at his home on Cap
itol hill in this city at 6:3 O'Clock this
evening, of kidney complications. About
his bedside were his wife and her sister,
Mrs. j. C. Smith: Mr.. Justice David j..
Brewer, his nephew; Mrs. Edgerton OF
California; Mr. Lawton. his private sec
retary; Rev. Edward NJ. Mott, rector of
the Church of the Advent, and the fam
lily servants. He had been unconscious
since Saturday morning, and death
came painlessly-
Ever since Justice Fields retirement
from the supreme bench in December,
1897 he had enjoyed comparatively good
health, and. being relieved from the
responsibilities which he had borne for
so many years, he became more cheer
ful than formerly and seemed TO enjoy
the society of his friends and acquainJ
ances more than ever before. During
the winter, when the weather was fair,
it was his custom to take daily drives
about the city or through the grounds
of the Soldiers home and he always re-
turned refreshed About two weeks ago,
however, he took d longer ride than
usual in an open carriage and contract
ed a severe cold, which RAPIDLY deVel-
oped the kidney troubles from which he
had suffered, though but slightly, for
some time.
THE END CAME QUICKLY.
The disease readily yielded to treat
ment, and on Thursday last he sat up
for a time and seemed quite himself
again, but on Saturday morning a
change for the worse took place and
about noon he lost consciousness. From
that time he sank rapidly and expired
at $3.50 O'Clock this evening.
No arrangements have yet been made
FOR the funeral, nor is il now known
where he viii be buried. 1t is probable
that his remains VIII be taken To
Stockbridge, Mass, where are buried
his father ara mother and his broth
ers. Cyrus. Dudley and Jonathan. two
sisters and other members of the Field
family. 1t is possible, however. that
Mrs. Field may decide TO take his re-
mains to California, where a consider
able part of his active life was nassed
before President Lincoln appointed him
member of the supreme bench
Justice and Mrs. Field never had any
children and the only surviving mem
Der of his fathers family is the Justices
youngest brother. DIR. Henry Field, the
editor of the Evangelist. During sew
era! years prior to his retirement from
the bench the Justices health at times
seemed on the point Of breaking, bur he
usually recovered promptly and in a
few days would again resume his Judi
cial duties. For the past year and more
these most intimate with him knew his
mental powers We're becoming some
what impaired. The results of his long
career of great mental activity were
beginning TO show themselves in a fail
ing memory after his retirement from
the bench, though his physical health
seemed to improve little.

A Lunatic's Retort.

There is said to be an inmate Of
the Hopkinsville asylum whose
idiocy takes the form of hallucina-
ton that he has swallowed Demo-
crat. He goes about splitting and
rubbing his stomach and complain
ing of the bad taste that comes up
into his mouth as a result of having
eaten the unruly politician. Not
long ago there were a number of
visitors to the asylum, all Re-
publicans, who took much delight
in hearing the poor fellow CON-
plain OF his unhappy experience.
He was questioned closely as to how
the Democrat tasted as he went
down and as to whether the Jeffer-
sonian caused much distur-
bance in the gastric regions.
The lunatic took it all good natured-
ly and patiently, and finally hesaid:
I'm awful glad it WASH t Repub-
lean l swallowed. Then one of
his tormentors asked why. "Be-
cause it would have killed me on the
spot, replied the sufferer, solemnly.
Then the visitors Travelled on and
the insane one passed his hand over
on his stomach with an expression
of relief. -Hartford Herald.

Feed For the Sitters.

Most breeders have settled down
to shelled corn alone as feed for the
sitting hens. AS usual thing
this is all that will be required. A
mixed ration is more liable to pro-
duce bowel troubles and lead to be-
foulment of the nest. But hen
will occasionally find her way into
the Matching room which will lose
in health by being confined to an
exclusive corn ration, and if she is
not given a change will not be able
to complete the task assigned to her.
When the hens are taken from the
nest, if one is seen which does moi
show a relish for thefood and mopes
around in the pen while the others
are greedily devouring the corn
she should be given access to some
other Kind of food, or else removed
from the pen and her unfinished
task given to another hen. Ever
though she should survive until tn,
hatch is completed, she will be re
duced to such a weakened condition
that she will be in no shape to tax,
charge of her brood. Wallace

A Word For Dietrich.

Replying to the Murray Ledger,
Prof. ]. ]. Glenn, OF the Guthrie
Graphic says;
While we have no disposition in
the world at present to defend the
American Book Co., nor do we know
that Prof. DIETRICH stands particu-
larly in need of our defense, yet we
feel that it would not be out of place
to say a good word for man whom
we know to be one of the very best
and trucst gentlemen with whom we
have ever been acquainted. Prof.
DIETRICH has perhaps done as much
to build up the public school system
of the State as almost any OF the
teachers of the Commonwealth. He
was the hrst superintendent of the
city schools of Hopkinsville, posi-
ton which he held for 10 years and a
place that he held as long as he de-
sired it. There has not been d

Buff Wyandottes.

see you are publishing articles
from breeders of Plymouth Rocks,
Leghorns, Blue Andalusians, ETC.,
on their particular breeds. Now ]
wonder why you would not as well
publish an article on the Buff
Wyandottes, If some one would only
urge you little. believe that you
will, and so ] will improve this OPP
portunity and write short article.
Although not fancy breeder for
20 or 80 years, yet have been try
ing to breed and raise poultry ac-
cording to the rule and law of our
fanciers for seven years. / have
raised the Brahmas, Leghorns,
Plymouth Rocks, and have now Sc
lected the Buff Wyandottes, which
come very near to my ideal of an
all-purpose fowl. Not so roamy
and active as the Mediterranean
class, and not so clumsy and awk-
ward as the Asiatics.
Many are booming the Plymouth
Rocks as the leading American
class, and others are booming the
Wyandottes. Both are good all
purpose fowls, but having raised
both for some time, l have come to
the conclusion that the Wysndottes
suit me the best. One great point
in their favor is the rose comb.
How were the long spikes of the
single combs effected during our
last winters cold spell. Many
were entirely disqualified for breed
ers, being too badly frosted for fur
Their use.
Knowing more of the Bluffs than
of any of the other Wyandottes, l
speak from the view l taken of the
Bluffs / consider them more come
ly than the Rocks, and not sOsaucy
and impudent as the Mediterra-
means. Gentle and yet active, but
not so nervous as to jump out of
their skin when you make sudden
move.
The more l work about my Bluffs,
the better like them. Good lay
ers, as mine have proven by lay
ing 30 eggs in "a days. Good moth
ers, as mine have proven, by hatch
ing out chicks from IL eggs, during
that cold weather in February,
and raising them all. This may
not conform to the cream from MIR.
Wlttnaan's scrap book,n to the
theories that have been advanced
that you can't raise chicks early
without an incubator; it Was an ex-
pertinent with me, and believe
that l can do the same again with
my Buff Wyandottes. Lhad no ar
tificial heat at any time, but only
the natural heat of the hen. And /
will venture the assertion that some
of the so or 100 egg insubators did
not bring forth mora fruit. Let
then the breeders of Buff Wyan-
dottes not stand back, bat blow
their horns, and all who have had
the Klondike fever, let them raise
Bluffs, and they can see the yellow
nuggets at any time, Let us hear
from others in the American Poul-
try Advocate, ard advertise that
journal as it deserves. ID. b.

SLANG NECESSARY.
Sam Jones Tells Why he Uses ii
in His Preaching.

In a sermon in Louisville the
other day Sam Jones, the preacher,
gave this explanation of his use of
slang:
"People go around saying they
don IT like Sam Jones because he
uses so much slang in his sermons.
Brethren if you take slang away
fom me | wouldn't be any more &C
count than the preachers you hear
Jevery Sunday. l use slang Just
like Pullman car uses wheels.
The car is nice but the wheels are
dirty. / wouldn't think about the
old dirty wheels if wanted to go
to heaven, but I'd just climb
aboard. Sisters, your old hus-
bands need curry combs. They
do EN- good, too. When nice
preaching won t do the work some
thing else must be given. If have
a patient and if seidlitz powder
or some little pellets won't cure
him, I'll drop ten grains of calomel
on his tongue, and see what that
will do tor him. l believe in giving
medicine according to the disease.
1t you give me congregation of
angels, I'll preach the most eloquent
and rhetorical sermon to them you
ever heard. But, my! wouldn' t
that be out of place in Louisville?
81 never preached sermon that
was any worse than my audience.
The bad ones pick out the worst
parts.
"Some of you amt got as much
sense as COW. The farmer gives
his COW hay. She picks out the
good hay and leaves the thistles.
| throw you as much good hay as l
can. You pick out few thistles
and say, That is the worst hay
ever saw. There are two kinds of
preaching IN every one OF my SER
mons. If a man lives right. breth-
rem, you can't hurt him with the
