people! It is deeply symbollcal of. the era of carpetbaggery-and of nothing else.
 A bald -headed eagle-recognized IS a bird of prey, ever since the days of the patient Job-a bald -headed eagle, with a cluster of sharp arrows clutched in one claw. trampling on me sstitcneon of State; The eagles wings are up- lifted, as if he were jus. honing to swee- down on the State Treasury! His neck is craned out 70 it's full length, as if he were getting rca dy to bury his beak in the vitals of the body polite! This bald-headed eagle fitly represents the swarm of foul birds who came from the four ends of the United States, and from Austria and Africa to loot to devour the little substance that the impoverished people had remaining to them as the result of the downfall of the southern Con- federaey. But what is most striking and characteristic of all. the so called bird of freedom pears in h.s beak a scroll op which is inscribei the car petbRgger's favorite motto: Here we rest!"

THE AMERICAN WOMAN.

Professor Munsterberg. In The Inter national Monthly, has the Following to say of American woman:
 In America, on the other hand, the women are the real supporters of the ideal endeavors; in not few fields their influence is the decisive one; in all fields this influence is felt, and the whole system tends ever more and more to push the men out and the wo- men in.
 Theatre managers claim that e5 per cent. of their patrons are women. No one can doubt that the same per cent age would hold for those who attend art exhibitions, and even for those who read magazines and literary works in general, and we might as well con- tinue with the same arbitrary figure. Can We deny that there are about S5 per cent. of women among those who attend public lectures or who go to concerts. among those who lookk after public charities and the work of the churches? I do not remember ever to have seen in German exhibition where at least half of those present were not men, but I do remember art exhibi- lions in Boston, New York and Chi cago where, according to my actual count, the men in the hall were less than per cent. of those present. As . matter of course the patron deter mines the direction which the develop ment will take. As the political read CT is more responsible for the yellow press than is the editor, so all the non- political functions of public life must slowly take, under these conditions, the stamp of the feminine taste and type, which must have again the further effect of repelling man from it more and more. The result is an effemina- tion of the higher culture. which is an- tagonistic to the development of a really representative national civiliza- ton, and which is not less unsound and one-sided than the opposite. ex- treme of certain Oriental nations, where the whole culture is mans work and the woman a slave in the harem.

DAUGHTERS OF THE
 REVOLUTION DAY.

June 17 will be Daughters of the Rev. olution day at the Pan-American Expo- sitiOn, says an exchange. A reception will be held in the New England Build- ing, which is one of the most success full buildings designed by the architect, Miss Josephine Wright Chapman of Boston. Miss Chapman is a daughter of Mrs. A. Chapman, who has the lite- Fary program in charge. Mrs. Chap man is the State Regent of the Daugh- ters of the Revolution of Massachu- setts.
 The musical program is under the able management of Mrs. Frank E.. Fitz, who is fast winning a leading position among the many society ladies now entering the field of composition. Her songs have been generously well comed by the lovers of refined and en- during music and she has reached the hearts of the people through the sin cerity of her writings. She is daugh- ter of David Slade. for more than fifty years a prominent business man of Boston, through him having inherited the same sterling qualities which made her early ancestry prominent In the social and political life of revolutionary Massachusetts, and is directly descend ed from that illustrious Nicholas Dan- forth. identified with the founding oi Harvard College. She Is an ardent patrietic worker.
 The Dramatic Review, in recent issue. said: While for four years Mrs. Fitz has given to the public occa- sional compositions of rare charm which have met with responsive appre- citation, she achieved the highest en- comium of her work when at the fare we'll concert of the Twentieth Century Exposition that eminent master lead CT. John Philip Sousa, played her lead ing composition, America Columbia. The applause which followed is a prom ise of the popular favor with which it is bound to meet" This song has been adopted by the Daughters of the Revo- lution as their song.
 Mrs. Fitz in the meantime has not neglected home or social duties. She is the wife of Frank F. Fitz. and three sturdy boys furnish inspiration to achieve success. She is a true, earn est and helpful friend, of quick sympa- thies. making and retaining many friends.
 With two such interesting women in charge of the literary and musical pro- grams, the Daughters of the Revolu' tion are looking forward to a rare treat, which will make June IT, 1901, a day long to be remembered in the history of the society.

THE GREAT SEAL.
The Present One is Diabolical and
 Should Be Changed.


 Should Be Changed. Editor The Advertisers:
 The Honorable John w. A. Sanford, Sr., offered a resolution in the Con- stitutional Convention a few days since. calling for the appointment of a committee to devise a new Seal for Alabama. This resolution was refer red to the Committee on Rules, who reported 1t to the Convention without recommendation. Thereupon Colonel Sanford moved that the resolution be adopted: but the motion was lost, Perhaps the members knew that the new article on the Executive Depart ment which had just been laid before the Convention, contained a clause empowering the General Assembly to adopt a new Seal. Perhaps some thought that the present seal was good enough. Nevertheless, Colonel San ford's effort to have a new seal adopt ed is highly to be commended. Colonel Sanford. in his remarks on l his motion. called attention to the fact | that the present seal embodied com | monplace device, since the same or a similar emblem is engraved on the seals of seven or eight other States | of the Union. But there is an histor- | ical reason of deep significance why | the present seal should be cast aside. | The first seal of Alabama, adopted, I | think in 1919. embraced an outline may of the State. suspended on tree. with the grand Tiver-system of Ala bama displayed on the map. This seal was without motto. It was used for | nearly fifty years.
 But during the reign of the carpet l baggers in Alabama, to wit, Tn the memorable year 1868. an act vas pass ei by the General Assembly of carpet baggers and others which provided for a change of seal. To this carpet-bag legislature we are indebted for the present Great Seal of .Aiab1ma. Look at 1t. contemplate 1t, study 4, good

LIFE IS HARD FOR MIR. NATION.
INSURANCE FOR OLD MAIDS.


 novel scheme tha+ has obtained a strong foothold in Denmark:
 Nearly all insurance companies dis criminate against women. They are not anxious to take risks upon wo- mems lives on any terms, and impose burdensome regulations besides charg- ing excessive premiums. As a conse- quence few women who have to earn their own living are able to carry poli- cies upon their lives. Yet all have felt the necessity of some provision being made for them when advancing years make their services as breadwinners less sought for.
 This is the more desirable insomuch as the salaries which they earn in the ordinary way are not sufficient to en- able them to save very much against the proverbial rainy day, which inev- stably comes to cloud the evening or their lives.
 Denmark Is the country which has set the world an example in this respect. an Old Maids Insurance Company hav- ing been started In Copenhagen. Ac- eording to this scheme, the policy hold CT by paying a certain premium yearly is entitled to a pension if on reaching the age of 40, she be still unmarried.
 Parents of a diffident turn of mind with regard to the possible attractions of their daughters, but who are never theiess of a practical disposition, may effect an insurance against their con- dition of spinsterhood when the girls are quite young, but all the premiums would, of course, be forfeited in the event of the damsel marrying before she had arrived at the age in question.

SIMPLE FORM OF EDUCATION.

 At a meeting of the Council of Wo- mans Clubs of Long Island, Mrs. Mar earef Hamilton Weich made a strong plea for simpler form of education. She is quoted as saying:
 'The bane of the modern educational system is the relentless system of per- fection upon which it insists. To sat- isfy the requirements of a too ambi- tious curriculum. too many non-essen- tials are introduced, leaving the gram mar school graudate dazed and help less. Our boys and girls should be taught to speak the English language as 1t is intended to be spoken, purely and simply, not to fill it with manner isms and defile it with slang"
