Tell TOuF Wife

If you are in trouble or q quandary,
tell yOuI wife-that is il you have one
all about it at once. Ten to one her
invention will solve your difficulty
sooner than your logic. The wit of q
woman has been praised, but her in
stincts are quicker than her reason.
Counsel with your wife, or your moth
er or sister, and be assured light will
flash upon your darkness. Women
are too commonly adjudged as ver-
dant in all but purely womanish
affairs. No philosophical student OF
the sex thus judges them. Their in
tuitiOns, or insights, are subtle, and il
they cannot see a cat in the meal
there is no cat there. In cOunseling a
man to tell his trouble to his wife,
we would 90 rarther, and advise him
TO keep none Of his affairs secrets from
her. Many a home has been happily
saved, and many a fortune retrieved
by mans full confidence in his "bet-
ter half.D Woman is far more a seer
and prophet than man, il she have a
fair chance. As a general rule, wives
eOnfide the minutest Of their plans
and thoughts to their husband, hav-
ing no invOlvements to screen from
them. Why not reeiprOcate, if but for
the pleasure Of meeting confidence
with confidence? Weare certain that
no man succeeds so well in the world
as ne who, taking partner for life,
makes her a partner for all purposes and
hopes. What is wrong OF his impuls
es or judgement, she will check and set
right with her almost universally
right instincts. "Heipmeet' was no
Insignificant title, as applied to mans
companion. She is a meet help to
him in every darkness, difficulty and
sorrow Of life. And what she most
Graves, and most deserves, Is conf
dence-withOut which love is never
free from shadow.

The Exact Date Of the CrueIaetlOn

Herr Kaib, the German savant, il
work recently published, shows that
there was total eclipse OF the moon
cOneOmitantly with the earthquake
that occurred when Julius Cesar was
assassinated, on the 18th of March, b.
G.. A. He has also calculated the
Jewish calendar to A. d. 81, and the
result Of his researches fully confirms
the facts recorded by the evangelists
of the wonderful physical events that
accompanied the crucifiXiOn. As
Economical calculations prove, with
out shadow of doubt, that on the 14th,
day of the Jewish month Nissan April
81, there was y total eclipse of the sun,
which was accompanied in all prOba-
bility by the earthquake, "when the
veil of the temple was rent from the
top to the bottom, and the earth did
quake and the rocks rent. ~ Matthew
xxxii., 5I). While St. Luke de-
seribes the eclipse in these words
"And it was the sixth hour (2 noon
and there was a darkness over all the
land till the ninth hour, q O'Clock p.
m. J, and the sun was darkened." {
Luke xii, Al
perfectly with the result of another
calculation our author made, by reck-
Oning backward from the great tOtaI
eclipse of April, 1918, allowing for the
difference between the old and new
styles, which also give April 6, as the
date of the new moon in the year A.
d. 81. As the vernal equinox of the
year fell on March 35, and the Jews
ate their Easter lamb and celebrated
their FTib P1ssOh, or Feast of the
Passover,On the following new moon,
it is clear April was identified with
Nissan IA, of the Jewish calendar,
which moreover, was on Friday, the
p0rasEVUee, or day Of preparation for
the Sabbath, and this agrees with the
Hebrew Talmud. Thus, by the uni
ted testimony of astronomy, archeOl-
Ogy, traditional and Biblical history
there can be but little doubt that the
date OF the crucifixiOn was April @, A.
ID. 81.
