memorials in marble and bronze is the custom
which has grown up with the development OF the
battlefield park plan Of suitably marking every
historic spot at the scene Of great struggle be-

explains the dozens and even hundreds Of statues,

progress for some years past, and already

years, however, the importance has been EN-.

fame is, appropriately enough, the ma
tional capitalize city of Washing
ton, which Is coming year by year to
take on more and more the character
of beautiful creation in architecture
and sculpture and landscape garden
ing that is the property of the whole
people. The statues to the victors in
the struggle between the north and
south occupy conspicuous positions in
the most advantageously located of
the parks and circles with which the
seat OF government abounds-verdure-
clad breathing spaces which seem as
though they might have been special
1y provided as sites for just such he
Toic or life-size figures. Some of the
statues are under the shadow Of the
capitol, others cluster about the White
House, and yet others are placed
where they will kindle inspiration in
the patriotic pilgrim to the capital.
Much of the impressiveness of the
statues TO the military heroes Of the
Federal armies is doubtless due to the
fact that almost all of them are eques-
TRAN. 1t is customary in all countries
to portray as men on horseback"
only the socalled royal personages, or
men who were actual commanders Of
troops, or enjoyed the title of com

England, which stood in Bowling
Green at the foot of Broadway. New
York city, and which during the war
for independence was melted up and
cast into bullets by patriotic daugh-
ters of Miss Columbia.
The oldest equestrian monument
now standing in the New World Is
colossal statue of Charles " of Spain,
IN the City Of Mexico. The initial
equestrian statue in the United States
is the renowned one OF Gen. Andrew
Jackson, which stands in the park di.
rectly In front Of the White House at
Washington. 1t Is estimated that there
are 400 equestrian statues In the
world, Of which number the city on
: the Potomac will have, with the com.
! sletion of the Grant memorial, a total
Of -, most of them representations OF
Civil war heroes.
The first statue arranged TO. ia
honor of a warrior identified with
the Civil war was that in which Gen.
Winfield Scott is depicted mounted on
charger at rest. This monument
was ordered in 1867, and was erected
seven years later. General Scott is
IN the uniform OF lieutenant general.
The material for the figures Of horse
and rider was derived from cannon
captured during the Mexican wa;' In
which General Scott won his greatest
fame The pedestal for this statue is

THAT SPRING FREEZE,

The harvesting Of the apple crop in
the Iowa orchard i'm which the writer
has had an interest for several years
was a simple matter this season. From
the same but older trees from which
we gathered more than 900 barrels of
fine fruit two years ago there were
picked this fall. 4 few days ago, a
couple Of quarts Of runty fruit. We
have the consolation " knowing that
the harvest expense was not burden
some and that hundreds Of orchard
lists in the area visited by the freeze
last spring when the trees were abloom
Jared no better. Smudge pots would
have been Of no avail, for i'm the lati-
tude the cold spell was not a spring
frost, but February blizzard, with all

these something for the boys and girls,
for tile soberer parent and for grand
