Richmond, Va, May 30.-The Con-
federate Memorial Institute, known as
the Battle Abbey. has been opened for
inspection in connection with the
United Confederate Veterans reunion,
which is to be held here June / to 8.
The Institute forms an interesting part
of the collection Of permanent memoir
ials Of the Civil War, its promoters
having had in mind the memorializing
of the part played by the South in the
great war events of so years ago.
The building, completion of which
awaits the return Of the artist, Charles
Roffbauer. from the European war,
stands in the western part Of Rich
mond, in the center of a five-acre park,
a gift from the state of Virginia.
Ground for the structure was broken
January 1, 1912 and the cornerstone
was laid the following May. The build
ing is located on q raised terrace a
broad fight Of stone steps flanked on
either side by a balu3trade, leading
from the entrance to the lower levels
Of the terrace.
The structure, which is faced
throughout with Indiana limestone,
consists Of a central pavilion, with a
wing on each side, the total length
being $50 feet and the height from
the terrace level to the top Of the par
apet being "A feet. At the main en-
trance is a portico of four stone col
unms Of Roman-Ionic design, 25 feet
in height. The two wings on the out
side are divided into panels by means
Of pilasters Of q slight projection and
below the cornice are large stones,
which, it is planned, will be trans
memorials Of some Of the great events
which the building is designed to COM
memorate.
The hall in the south wing will be
known as the Memorial Room, for
the decoration of which Thomas F.
Ryan of New York and Virginia, con-
tributed a large sum. Mr.. Hoffbauer
has been engaged to decorate the walls
of this room with paintings illustrative
OF the Civil War; but has not COM
pleted his work. The north wing Of
the institute will be used as library.
On one side will hang a large painting
Of Thomas Jefferson and his cabinet,
as we'll as the portraits Of all the war
governors. The association intends to
make the collection Of pictures and
books in the library of great historic
value.
Treatment Of the park surrounding
the institute to make the grounds as
essentially a part of the memorial as
the building itself, is planned by those
in charge of the work. The design of
the court of honor includes a central

To Charles Broadway Rouss is at
tributed the credit for having con-
ceived the idea of the Confederate
Memorial Institute. At the veterans
reunion in Houston, Tex, in 1895, Mr..
Rouss offered to give 100000 for the
erection Of a memorial hall If the
Southern people would contribute an
equal amount. The offer was accepted,
a committee appointed and the COM
mittee made it's report at the reunion
in Richmond in 1896. The following
veterans. many Of whom since have
died, were appointed charter members
and trustees of the memorial asso-

The charter obtained from the state

that the institute should be under the
auspices Of the United Confederate
Veterans. Richmond was selected as
the location for the memorial in 1897.

the selection of books l read. First OF
all l endeavor to read book thought
fully and carefully. choose only those
books which are well known as worth

get their opinion of the book and its
author, for they will tell me the value of

Often the books which these people
consider great seem to me dull and the
meaning is hard for me to comprehend
but try not to be discourage, for know
that cannot gain good taste and judg-
ment of books in short time. The best
thing for me to do, under these circum-
stances, is to read them until my mind

know l will appreciate them.
Cooper was a great writer but some of
his writings seem to me dull. must

Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter" and
Twice Told Tales" are esteemed higher
than ever before by the best judges but
the public as whole does not care to
read them. Time should be valued too
highly in this age to read cheap, trashy,
novels. Many novels which are appear
ing now such as THE End of the Trail
by +. Alexander Powell, and The Forest
of Arden" by George Wharton Edwards
are considered e, pecially good books.
Serious books or deep books are read
much less today than they were years
ago. The reason is probably due to the
fact that when we young people are at
leisure, we have other ways in which to
amuse ourselves. These serious books
are now only read by the young people |
in schools where they are compelled to
be read. l know that if study these
books carefully and fully resolve that
will learn to like them while l am in

ing better literary taste, and becoming |

THE EXTINCTION OF BIRDS.

When we say that bird or animal has
become extinct we mean that the last
one of its kind is dead. Extinction may
be1caused by two things. Natural con-
ditions may be unfavorable to the life OF
a species or it may be caused by man or
both. But the extinction of our birds is
mostly caused by man.
The most famous of our extinct birds
is the great aux, which was a waterfowl
about the size of a goose, inhabiting the
Atlantic Coast as far south as Massachu-
setts besides some islands not far off
This bird was caught by some for its oil,
and by others for food Skins and eggs
exist, one egg being worth $500.
The Labrador duck was found on the
Atlantic Cost as far south as the Chesa-
peake Bay. 1t suddenly became extinct
in 1875, from an unknown cause. Not
even an egg is known.
Last year the last known passenger
pigeon died, which was a captive bird in
the Cincinnati Geological gardens.
The wild pigeon used to Be very
abundant, flocking in such great num-
hers that it took days to pass a certain
point.
The Eskimo curleu, large snipe like
bird which was sought much by gunners
is considered also extinct
One of the most interesting of our birds,
the handsome Carolina parrakeet is now
extinct This bird had a yellow neck and
head the bend of the upper part of the
legs and the wings were orange, and the
rest of the body was green Its range
was the southeast and central States.
The only way in which its extinction can
be accounted for is that they were de
stroyed by plummage hunters, and some
were captured for cage birds.
There are yet other birds that will
soon be extinct; such as the heath-hen,
swan, scarlet ibis, trumpeter, whooping
,rane and American egret
In this way we see that out of the many
birds which are killed the largest number
s killed by man, and for just these rea-
ions are the game laws made and they
should be encouraged and regarded Birds
hould be cared for and protected during
he winter, unless we wish to see all birds
become extinct.
