BRASS CANNON SHOULD
COME TO MARIETTA.
Mrs. r. L. Nesbitt Makes
Suggestion Which Should
Be Acted Upon.

The following note which has been
received from Mrs. R. L. Nesbitt will
be read with much interest:
FARM HILL" NEAR MARIETTA.
Editor journal and Courier:-You
have doubtless noticed that an effort is
being made to have returned to Georgia
the little brass cannon once belonging
to the Georgia Military Institute 10.
Gated here, but which was captured and
is now held in Washington City.
1t seems that few patriotic citizens
are endeavoring to secure the return of
that cannon to Georgia, and some
money has been subscribed with view
to placing it on the capitol grounds in
Atlanta.
The logical place for that cannon is
the Marietta Confederate cemetery,
owned and now being besutified by the
State, and in plain view of Institute
hill, where once the Georgia cadets
drilled at afternoon parade before the
youth and beauty of Marietta.
have written to Governor Brown,
who is one of the subscribers, and also
the Atlanta papers, asking their intiu-
ence to aid in getting it here. Please
make a forceful plea through the COL
umns of your paper. that those who
have already subscribed will be gener-
Gus enough to transfer their subscrip-
tions to Marietta and think we will
be able to secure the rest of the money
needed. $3.50 90 is the entire sum.
don't know the exact amount already
subscribed
Yours truly,
MRS Il. l.. NEsBITT,
| Pres. Ladies Memorial Association.
The suggestion made by Mrs Nesbitt
is a good one and should be acted upon.
To put the cannon in the Confederate
cemetery here would be so appropriate
that the subscribers to the fund will nc
doubt readily consent to the change
The Journal and Courier will be glad
to assist in every way possible to thai
end

DIR. Ct. C.. Williamson, the authority
on miniature and other art subjects. has
made a Wedgwood discovery which will
not fail to arouse the keenest interest Of
all interested Ill English ceramics.
In searching for views Of Old Hamp-
stead it was brought to his notice that
twenty-seven such views were mentioned
i'll the catalogue enumerating the sub
jects painted on a dinner service made
by Josiah Wedgwood for Catherine H..
of Russia. This service consisted of no
fewer than 1900 pieces, each decorated
with views of Eighteenth century Eng
land, about 2OOO pictures of castles, man
sions, parks, bridges, landscapes and
monuments of every description The
whole service was completed in 17T4 and
exhibited for two months in London prior
to its dispatch to Russia.
DIR. Williamson's inquiries at the
Wedgwood works and other quarters
were met with the reply that every trace
of this highly interesting ceramic picture
book had been lost, and that the service
had been destroyed long since. The same
answer came from the Russian officials
who were questioned on the matter. Or.
Williamson thereupOn approached the
Gar himself, who had n thorough search
made for the service, with the result that
500 pieces were discovered stored away

The plant food in ton of manure
varies somewhat with the kind of live
stock. Thus young. growing animuls
and animals giving milk will retain
larger proportion of the nitrogen and
phosphorus than fnttcning stock, work
horses or other mature animals On the
other hand. it is we'll to understand that
the difference in value frequently consi-
dcred, as, for example between sheep
manure and cattle manure, is due al
most entirely to differences in water con

SEVENTY YEARS OF EATING.
In That Time Man Consumes Ninety
five Tons of Food and Drink.

1t man of 20 years was starving. il
would probably be little comfort to him
to think that he had consumed in the
course of his life fifty-three and three
quarter tons of solid food and forty-two
and three-quarter tons of LIQUID ar
about 12SO times his own weight in both
solids and liquids, but it would be true.
Being man of average appetite and
purse he would have eaten fifteen tons
of Tread, which would have made a sin
gle loaf containing 1900 cubic feet and
appearing about as large as the average
suburban home, and on this bread he
would have spread one ton of butter
If his bacon had been cut in single
slice. says Harper's Weekly, the strip
would have been four miles long, and
his chops placed end to end would have
extended two miles.
Twenty ordinary sized bullocks have
supplied him with beef, eighteen tons of
which he has eaten, along with five tons
of fish and 10000 eggs and $50 pounds
of cheese. If he had elected to have all
his vegetables served at once they would
have come to him in train of cars. the
pod containing all his peas being over
three miles long.
He has had 5000 pounds of sugar.
1900 pounds of salt. pounds of pepper
and 100 cans of mustard Three pints
of liquid a day would have amounted
to 10000 pints, or forty-two and three
quarter tons. If he had chen a smoker.
he would have burned about half a ton
of tobacco in q pipe or if he preferred
cigarettes would have smoked about a
quarter of a million.

A TRADITION SMASHED.
George Washington Didn't Visit Trinity
Church, in Newport

All Rhode Island, and more especially
Newport is stirred up over the discovery
which Mrs. Chadwick, wife of Rear Adj
miral French Il. Chadwick, L. s. N.
made last week, to the effect that George
Washington did not attend Trinity
church during his two visits to New
port. For many years it has been a
chapter of important history that Wash
ington sat in the pew in Trinity church
which is now used 10y the George Cor
don King family. and this tradition has
been handed down from one alton
of that family to the other Mrs Chad
wick has not alone investigat ted the re-
port here and about the state, but in
France, and the discovery is Il real blow
to the people of Newport, and espe-
cially 10 the aristocratic pewhoders Of
Trinity. Mrs, Chadwick states that she
has learned definitely that George Wash
ington was in Newport from March 6
to March -, and was in Newport over
Sunday; but there is no mention in the
history of Rhode Island to show he at
tended services at Trinity. j. Thompson
Spencer, member of the Cottage Set
Element at Newport, has gone to phila-
delphia to search for what is believed TO
be Il record in fun of Gen. Washington's
visit to Newport, If these records are
found, and they give an account OF
Washington's visit to Trinity church,
there will be rejoicing here again.

Seal Hunting in the Shadow of the Pole

Harry Whitney, the New Haven

giOns To shoot game and returned to find
himself a principal figure in the polar
controversy, describes his years hunt. in

the wary seal; Many seals were seen
OH the fresh-made ice, and Eiseeyou,
my head man, expressed desire that |
take charge of his dog team while he
stalkcd some of them. Seals are eN-
tremely shy, and great caution must be
practiced in approaching them. The
Eskmos use n blind in the form on a
miniature sledge, about eighteen inches
in length by six inches in width. with
bearskin tackled on the runners. Fore
and aft are two upright crotched sticks,
upon which the rifle rests and 10 which
it is dashed. On the front of the sledge
Crosshar sustains two long pcrpeudicu-
lar sticks, over which "a piece of white
cloth is stretched, or when that IS not
attainable hare skin is substituted.
Through a hole in this cloth screen the
muzZle of the rifle protrudeS. 'Holding
his blind before him, Eiseeyou was en-
abled to walk within tire. or four hun.
dred yards Of seal without startling it.
then he dropped on hands and knees and
pushed the little slcdge nefore him Thus
hidden behind the cloth screen, which so
blended with the ice ms to arouse in the
seal no suspicion of danger he approach

Seals always lie close To their holes, and
It is necessary 10 hit them in the head
or under the shoulder and have the bul-
let penetrate the heart and kill them III

Mary Tudor and Love.

But at all events Elizabeth was a great
Queen, and. as the time went humane,
says Gertrude Atherton in her brilliant
paper on Love" iE Harpers Bazaar.
Love, although it belittled her, did not
splash her memory with blood. Perhaps
the most terrible example of the demon
alizing influence of the tender passion
is Mary Tudor. Queen of England. In her
youth and even maturity, one of the most
humane and kind-hearted of women,
who never signed a death warrant when
she first assembled the throne except at
the insistence of her ministers, became,
under the influence of her ill-starred pas
sion for her husband, Philip IL of Spain,
the most UNANIMOUSLY cruel woman IN
history. She had loved no man until the
reluctant Philip was induced to en-
bark for the bleak northern land and
lmarry the plain elderly woman that ruled

- 1t was just twenty years ago that New

1t was such a joke that even the miser-

We're obliged to smile. An obscure group
OF women. calling themselves the Work

announcement that they proposed to
form the women clerks of the city into

These women said that the girls in the
department stores were receiving wages
lower than the sweatshop standard.
They said that q foreign woman in a
down town garment shop could earn 81

They also charged that the city ordi-

kinds of useful and fancy articles
on sale under the charge of Mrs.

enterprising ladies meet once each
month and make such articles as
experience has taught them will
sell readily. They hold an annual
bazar to dispose of them and the
ladies of the community have
learned that they always get valu e
received. Among other pretty and
useful articles, we noted a large
crazy quilt, to dispose of which
they sold chances at twenty-five

were taken and Mrs. Chris Nelson
proved to be the lucky lady. The
quilt alone added about $50 to their
