REV. JOHN FIELD-CHARACTER SKETCH.
His Visit TO EastOu. Md and His Sermon that
Lead 10 John R. Sweeuey's Conversion.

His Visit TO EastOn. Md and His Sermon that
Lead 10 John r. Sweeuey's Conversion.
What shock thrilled the wide cir.
Gle of friends aud acquaintances of the
Rev. Johu Field of Philadelphia, Pa
on receipt of news of his death by his
own hand as the climax of dementia
brought on by diabetis melitus Of a
very grave type. 1t was an insane
act, and is no reflection on his ortho-
dOx faith in the Christian religion.
Reason was dethroned and hence the
fatal termination of noble and useful
life.
The writer's first acquaintance with
him was when in the prime of life he
came by invitation of the Local
Preachers Association of Easton or
the centre district of the NJ. E. Con
ference on the Peninsula, to attend a
session of the Association at Dover,
where the venerable and beloved DIR.
Cook was pastor of Wesley Church.
The DIR. and his church officials
among whom was VIM. NJ. Bell, Eli
jah Crouch. DIR. Bates and the Ste
vensons and others of precious mem
ory; concluded to commence their an
nual revival service and asked the To-
cal brethren to inaugurate at the Sun
day evening service.
They prevailed on Mr.. Field to
preach and he took for his text "FOl
We Have not an High Priest who car
not be Touched" which sets fortE
Jesus of Nazareth as fitted by his suf
ferings to be our High Priest. HI
was in full vigor of manhood anG
spiritual life, and with great eloquenc'
and spiritual power he swayed hi
large audience and appealed to then
to be saved by the blood and inter
cession of the great High Priest, VIII,
is the right hand of God appearing TO
us.
The late John r. Sweeney. nephew
of the late venerable DIR. HodgsOn, wa
leader of the choir and when Mr.
Field closed his appeal, he asked fo
an invitation hymn, ana to the sui
prise of all Mr.. Sweeney with tremb
ing voice struck up the gingling chol
us "There are Angels HOverin
Round" and before it was repeated,
saw Mr.. Sweeney rise and wend h
way from the choir gallery and dow
the south side aisle and drop on b
knees first penltent.
Being very earnest it was not over
half hour before he was free from cor
! demnation, aud the lowering angel

d, tch "a shadow on sheet" DR.. A.
II. Phelps describes this new breed as
follows:
AS their name suggests, these birds
are of Dutch origin. In Holland and
Belgium, where this breed has been
favorite for more than half a century,
it was formerly known as the Jerusa-
lem or the Everlasting Layer. 1t pass
ed unnOticed by English and Ameri-
can fanciers until about four years
ago, when it was taken up by several
English breeders and Immediately
caused a sensation, which has cOntin-
ued to spread and now has n firm foot
hold upon both sides of the Atlantic.
Wherever the Lakenvelder appears
sensation is sure to follow.
''Imagine for one moment a White
LeghOrn cock with a tail of mammoth
proportions, having the most ample
hackle feathering upon both neck and
rump. Now imagine that these hac-
kles and tail are of the most intense
jet black, and you have a mental pic
ture of the Lakenvelder. 1t is living
picture in black and white startling
yet beautiful. The Lakenvelders equal
the Hamburg and Leghorn as layers"
Our Illustration of this variety is TAX

While the Indian Runner is a new
variety of duck so far as the exhibition
room in this country is considered, it is
not in fact a new breed to the world.
In writing of these ducks Mr.. J. Don
aid says they originally came from
India to England something over fifty
years ago. Soon after this they made
their appearance in the show rooms of
England and attracted considerable
public attention. Some little time aft
er this they were brought to the atten-
ton of the American fanciers, who
have done much to improve them in
this country.
The brakes of this variety weigh
from four and half to five pounds
the ducks about a pound less They
begin to lay when quite young. 1t i:
reported that some have been known
to produce eggs when less than five
months old, and, in addition to this
they are credited with having produced
as many as 12O eggs in year. Th'
eggs of the true variety have whit
shell and are not quite so large as thOs
Of other varieties.
One of their advantages is the fac
that they are great fOragers and will
90 all over the farm in search of ami
NAL food, such as bugs and worms o
all kinds, of which they are very fond
Frequently they will start out as 500

only return home in the evening to b
fed. This is a disadvantage, as the

must be confined in the house every
night and kept there in the morning
until they have dropped their eggs.
These ducks are becoming quite pop
ular on the farm, as they do not care
80 much for the water as do some 9TH
er kinds and lay large number OF
eggs for waterfowl. Where one male
is provided for every five females the
eggs are usually fertile and the duck
lings very easy to grow. If well cared
for, they will dress at from three ana
a half to four and a half pounds dur
ing the winter, and the young make
splendid brOilers.-COuntry Gentleman.

SHE SOAKED" THE nILKhAN
Wanted to Complete His Misery by
Having Him Arrested.

a day or two ago a woman went TO
Justice Burnett and wanted to know
what il would cost her TO obtain a war
rant for a milkman, who. she said. had
called her a vile name. The justice told
her that warrants of arrest were not
for sale but that if she was deserving
of one she could have il for nothing.
When she told the court what the milk
man had called her. the court advised
her that while it was not a euphonious
epithet it would perhaps be better to
let it go. she was. however. insistent,
ard said that she had proof of the ex-
IRENE language of the milkman. There
seemed to be nothing for the court to
90 but let the warrant be issued.
He reached for a blank form and
when he had spread it upon his desk

the form and thinking of the terror the
milkman would feel when that warrant
was read TO him. could not repress an

she further explained that after the
mlIkmar had applied that particularly

milkman could get up motion for his
escape 10 the alley.

elation he did not think that she had

he had changed his mind lie said that

not to insist, for the millzrnan would
