ONE OF the many interesting sights
at Yellowstone Park is the eagle moth
er teaching the young TO start on the
journey of life. With her own wing
she pushes the young bird off the rock
of the high ledge, which had been the
only home it had ever known. With a
mothers eye she watches 1t fall but be-
fore it strikes the rocks below, with the
speed of the wind she darts beneath ii
and the young eagle finds a soft land
irg upon the feathers of its mothers
back. 1t is then carried TO the highest
cliff and the experiment repeated until
the young eagle gets strength In It's
wings and can safely go on life's jour
ney alone. With the same watGhful
care does the good mother see her flock,
one by one, leave the old home. One
by one she lets them go. One to be a
missionary, one doctor, one pub.
Usher. With the eye of an eagle she
watches them as they successfully
travel in their chosen paths, and they

their ever faithful mother still watch

Verify to that mother whose christian
teaching started their little feet Alright
and whose saintlike face acted as a
beacon light TO them when tossed upon
the strong sea OF temptation.

The measure which now seems to have
reconciled any conflicting interests was
first proposed by Gen. c. Irvine Walker,
Briefly his plan is to let the committee
invite the artists of the world to COM
pete and submit magnificent and artis-
tic designs for a statue or group of statues
in bronze, emblematlc of the herosm of
our women and from these select the
most appropriate and purchase the model.
The amount raised by the combined ef-
fort of the south would, according to
General Walker, enable the committee
to offer enough. say $4,000, to secure a
truly great design. No local or state
movement is apt to be able to do this.
The cost of such work Is the value of the
artistic conception not the mere bronze
casting from the model, which is me-
chancal. Having secured this great mod
ell, from 1t could be made. at a compare
lively trlfing cost, sufficient casts in
bronze to enable the committee to fur
nish at least one to each of the Con-
federate states. In making such castings,
any size may be made from the model.
Life size, If to be placed upon low pc
destal and heroic size to be placed upon
a lofty one, Then in each of the Con-
federate states the committee could place
one of these highly artistic statues upon
pedestal in the state capital or such
other city within Its borders, as may,
be determined. There would be no single
original cast and copies therefrom, but
all would be from the same model and
all be equal in artistic value and orig

OPENING OF SEMINARY.

An event of great interest as we'll as
one attended with brilliant social sue
cess was the tenth annual opening at
the Birmingham Seminary which filled
the beautiful chapel yesterday morning
to its very doors. The bright decorations,
the inspiring talks made to the several
hundred young women, and the very en-
joyable programme, interspersed with
music and recitations, made the jubilee
opening significant. 1t may be the habit to
say that schools have successful open
ings, but the Seminary has every rea-
son for congratuation at the prospects
for the most brilliant year in its his
tory.
The matriculation for the coming year
is the largest yet announced by the
Seminary, the boarding department is
taxed to its fullest capacity, and the past
records of the Seminary while brilliant
and gratifying, have been broken. The
faculty, many of the former teachers
being retained year after year, has, how
ever, been strengthened. and Is better
than ever before. Miss Compton and Miss
Morton, the principals, two of the best
known and best-beloved women among
the group at the head of girls schools
in the soutn, felt that the jubilee open
ing was an event in the history of the
Seminary, and when their countless
friends and many patrons crowded about
them yesterday to express their delight
at the continued success of the school
their hearts were full 10 overlooking.
The Seminary, dignifed and stately,
looking in It's setting of old trees, made
an interesting picture on perfect In
dian summer day, and with the groups
of young women gathered within the
walls of The old chapel the day and
exercises attending the opening were full
of interesting and picturesque features.
The devotional exercises were partici-
pated in by the Rev. DR.. l., S. Handley,
the Rev DIR. A. j. Duncan and the Rev.
DIR. |. d. Steele, and were followed by
short and helpful talks by each of the
clergyman present. Their words were
chosen with special reference to college
girls and to the sentiment attached to
their lives, while most appropriate were
their references to the more serious side
of school life.
The musical numbers and the readings
were given by the members of the music
and elocution faculties. Miss Elizabeth
Leib, one of the new instructors in piano,
gave a SOLO "LaFieuse, by Raft, her
artistic touch and phrasing receiving en-
thusiastlc and appreciative comment. She
is a graduate of the New England Con-
servatory of Music
A delightful reading was given by Miss
Harriet Trappe, an Italian and English
dialet story, difficult of presentation. but
rendered in a strong manner. She is
graduate of the Emerson School of Ora
tory. AS an encore Miss Trappe recited
'.Sonny's Cristening."
Miss Sally W. Carr. who Is graduate
of the Royal Conservatory of Dresden,
gave double number, nocturne by
I.istz, and Mazurka by Chopin. She
was also enthusiastically received.
A ;s-illlant feature of the exercises were
the numbers by Mrs. Van Merkestyn-
SEVERN, who was in superb voice.
