A short stretch of road near the
county farm, which has evidently
been overlooked by the officers, is re-
ported to be in bad condition.
From the Central avenue road east

ruts, which make it hard on vehicles,
are numerous.

cluster. Strangely enough, these ear
rings are little different from those
which only recently were the most
popular article of adornment worn.
While of less value, two other sets
are equally as interesting. One is of
coral and represents one of the best
examples of workmanship of its time.
From a tiny gold chain is suspended d
fligree ball of gold. minutely studded
with bits of coral. Not only the shade
of coral but the delicacy of the cary
ing makes of this set one of the most
beautiful in the collection. The other
set is of long drops of milk white car
nelian, surrounded by a delicate frame
of wrou hit gold.
Two sets of buckles belonging to
Gen Washington are another feature
of Miss Heth's collection One set. al
most square in shape, is of large crys-
tails set in silver. The smaller set is
similar. being the ones Gen. Washing
ton used on his knee breeches.
But of all this intimate collection,
perhaps none more clearly brings to
mind George and Martha Washington
than set of moss-agate mounted in
gold. A single button, a single large
piece of the agate set in gold. is one of
set worn by George Washington on
his dress coat. And to match this are
earrings. necklace and bracelet
which Mrs. Washington wore. The ear
rings are the long pendant, SO popular
in that period, in a wrought gold
frame. The necklace is a series of
round stones hung on cold chain.
while the bracelet has three sets, two
round, the center one square. This set
is not only beautiful. but is another
excellent example of the goldsmiths s
art during the revolutionary period.
These form but small portion of the
jewelry belonging to the collection, lit

Unidentified Trophy Cannon.

A PLEASANT fiction. generally cred
GN tied in Washington and enforced on
many strangers in the capital, is that
the four bronze cannon at the corners
of the pedestal of the Jackson statue
in Lafayette Square are English guns
captured at the battle of New Orleans
1t may be so, but the presumption is
overwhelmingly against it. 1t would
seem curious thing in this age, when
the War Department eXpends so much
energy and clerical pen-power in tag
ging, recording and keeping track of
government property under its charge,
that there exists no record as to how
these guns, or at least how three of
them, came into possession of the gov
ernment.
No trace of the origin of those guns
has been found in the records of the
War Department or In the archives of
the office of public buildings and
grounds, though about ten years ago
Col Spencer Cosby, then, and until
quite recently, the officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, caused to
be made search of those records. A
result of the investigation was that an
inscription was prepared for the gun
at the southwest angle of the pedestal
which sets forth that it was surren-

young George had refused to give one
of his cousins an apple. or bite out
of an apple, and the father reprovcd

he would be generous in the matter of
apples, he would ask God to provide
an abundance of the fruit. Some time
after that the father took the boy into

Going over this collection one would
say that green was a favorite color
with Mrs. Washington if the frequency
with which it appears is any criterion.
There is a green kerchief. delicate of
