The newly completed Mont Merici
Academy of the Ursuline Sisters was
formally opened, Sunday. and the pub
lie was invited to inspect the splendid
ly appointed buildings during the aft
ernoon. The music students furnished
an excellent program While the visitors
were guided through the various Diet
partmonts of the institution by other
students. There are now over 40 at
tendanta in all. and the nuns in charge
number about q score.
The property, formerly owned by
Frank Chase and we'll known as Or
ohard farm. comprised a large house
and stable. conservatory, icehouse and
several acres of land lined with fruit
trees. The directors OF the new enter
Prise have joined house and stable
with four story wooden structure of
imposing appearance, and shaped in
two wings at right angles, remodeling
the original buildings to suit the gen.
eral scheme.
On the first floor of the long wing is
the chapel with its beautiful altar
and holy figures adjoining the walls.
An opening is let through the ceiling
above the altar in such a way as to
let the light fall in upon it, enhancing
the beauty of it's furnishings of white
and gold with radiance that com
manas attention. and appeals to the
spiritual nature.
ON the second floor are large. we'll
lighted study rooms. and in a position
directly overlooking the little court in
the angle of the building, and the
splendid view beyond up the little val
ley of the Messalonskee, is the infirm-
airy. The third floor is occupied with
class rooms, Furnished with slate
blackboards. and the modern appli-
ances of the best schools. The fourth
fiocr is occupied with large, airy dor
nitories, and about % private rooms
for those desiring them. In the large
Easements are the Kitchens. dining
rooms and the steam heating plant.
Tie keynote OF the whole is cleanli-
ness and usefulness. There are no or
namontaI decorations, for the unsur-
passed scenery commanded by the po-
sition OF the school will be a never
falling source of beauty to contem-
plate for all who wish that diversion.
The grounds are high, we'll drained,
and the fenced orchard will serve as
an ideal pleasurance in the warm sea-
sons of the year The school is looked
upon as most valuable addition and
investment of the local parishes.

Darkness was coming on, and the

Orchestra of Birds.

To lie in the blind at the breaking
of a late May morning and listen to
the glad voices from the bird world
upon the prairie is an experience a
thousand times worth while. And
here as I lay alone now, waiting for
the return Of the startled jewellers,
l had entertainment of another sort
the wonderful bird orchestra of the
plain land in spring It was an or
chestra of twenty or more parts, and
innumerable performers; a compost
ton without end, melody that rose
from every quarter of the plain and
filed earth and air with a gentle,
fairy-like humming and sweet muir
muring. 1t was the love lyric of all
the birds within the circle of the
horizon. more deeply magical and full
of the inner meaning of things than
that of the wood birds whose songs
are so much better known.-H. NJ.
