OF all ducks for ranch purposes none
stand higher in popular esteem than
the White Pekin. 1t is valuable for
raising on a large scale and is the most
easily grown of any. 1t is n very timid
bird and must be handled carefully.
1t was imported from China in the
early seventies and has steadily grown
in popularity since its introduction into
the country. The Pekin duck has a
distinct type of Its own diid differs
from all others in shape and carria ge
of its body. BY some it is credited
with having shape much like an
indian canoe, owing to the full length
of feathers under the rump and the

BEECHER AND FIELD.
Famous Generation ina Two American
Families of High RenOwn.

Families of High RenOWn.
Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker. who died
at Hartford on January .. in her eighty
fifth year. was the last survivor of the
eleven children Of the Rev. Lyman
Beeeher The Rev. Henry Martyr Field,
who died on January % at Stockbridge.
Mass. also in his eighty-fifth year was
/ the last Of seven sons OF the Rev. David
Dudley Field. of Stockbridge. So ends a
famous generation in two American fam
lilies OF very high renown, and ii Is inter-
esting that the end should come TO both
of them within a day. so declares a
writer in Harper's Weekly The progeni-
tors of both these distinguished families
were eminent clergymen Of old New
England stock. The Fields came from
Stockbridge. The Beechers were early
and long associated with Litchfeld. Conn,
though Lyman Beecher came from New
Haven and lived in various places where
his ministry called him. We see no.
where nowadays families Of that stock
approaching these in size and distinction.
Large families Of the old American stock
are rare now. They seem to De no longer
born to ministers Neither is distinction
achieved i'm our day in the same way that
the Beechers achieved it. The most nota-
Die contemporary family that We can
think OF at this moment Is that repre-
scented by the seven auriferous sons Of
the late Meyer Guggenheim. We hear
more just now Of the Guggenheims as a
family than Of any other. not even ex-
cepting that Of Abraham Lands, of In
diana, three Of whose sons are Repre-
sentativcs Ia Congress, besides other sons
and daughters worthy of a preferment
and likely 10 win H. The energy of the
Guggenheims has been spent in the ac-
QUESTION of material treasure. They are
wonderful as a family because all seven
Of them have long been in business to-
sether. apparently harmonious, and pro
digiOusly successful one from the fold
has just been spared to go 10 the Senate
to the family's further exaltation
The energy Of the Beechers was spent
in the diffusion Of moral and theological
ideas. Nearly all the sons were clergy
men of note. and one was the most noted
preacher and one Of the most eminent
public men Of mis- day. The daughters.
especially Mrs. stowe contributed their
nun snare as writers. teachers. and lead
ors 20 the family renown. None of them
were notable mOncy-makers. though as
an incident OF their work some Of them
did earn considerable amounts OF money
or the four more notable Field brothers.
Henry was clergyman and editor. David
a great lawyer, Stephen an eminent Judge
and Cyrus, merchant and financier, was
a man Of genius. These men were Ia
nous IN their generation. Whether they
would bc famous in our generation-as
famous. say, as the Guggenheims-is de-
batable. so u0ticeably in our day has
shrunk in relative consequence the men
who diffuse ideas as compared with the
men who accumulate dollars.

The call Of the Philippines is for capt.

Think Of what can be done in the great
staples. tobacco. sugar. and hemp. On
October OF last year there had been
shipped into San Francisco from Iloilo
some $500 tons OF sugar, on which was
paid a duty of S2I32l9. Sugar can be
brought from Manila 10 San Francisco
for $3.50 a ton II can be brought from
Manila 10 New York in steam vessels for
from y 10 % cents per 100 pounds. or
about the same rate as between Omaha
and Chicago. Sugar can be produced In
the Philippines for less than a cent a
pound. The fact that 5000 tons Of sugar
was produced by the primitive methods

the Pacific. paid a high tariff, and sold

In tobacco. in the wonderful Cagayan

most fertile valleys TN all the tropic
Orient, the land produced under the to

tobacco an acre. which brought 70 cents
