Over the two chapels in the forepart of
the church are galleries for the choir and
the students and monks. The main altar
Is raised about twenty feet. beneath which
is the shrine Of the Holy Sepulcher. The
altar and galleries are reached by two mar
bic stairCases. The shrine of Calvary is to
be back of the altar

Underground shrines.
The most interesting portion of the
church is the underground shrines and
passages. Here also are the sacrIstaries
and chapel for the services of the dead
OF the monastery. On the north side is
the shrine OF Bethlehem, which consists

representation of the stable where the
Savior was born. To the left of the
shrine is a bench of masonry. where sits.

HUNORS OF DIVORCE.
Some Reasons for tntyinG the Mar

From T1t-Bits.

desirable wife or husband.
In Greece a wife, to maintain her posi-
ton. must be the very pink Of propriety;"
and if she gees to theater or race meeting
or even dimes with a friend without her
husbands sanction he may send her back
to her mother and bid her stay there.

they need do was to adjourn to some pubs;
lie place, and in the presence of onlookers
tear strip of muslin in two.
In Morocco 1t is not fashionable to be att
tached too long TO any particular wife, and
a mans social position may be gauSed by
the number OF wives he has divorced. 1t is
quite common for a man to have married
and parted from a score of wives before no
has reached the age at which the average
Dnglishnan thinks il prudent TO marry.
In France during the time of terror"
the daring experiment was tried of allow
ing divorces at will and without any as
signed cause. The results were disastrous
for within year 1900 couples agreed TO
part in Paris alone and within a short
time thsre we're actually more divorces
than marriages every year.
1t is interesting to speculate how many
so-called happy unions would be dissolved
In England II such a sweeping change were
introduced into our laws The advantage
of the sysuer. was that a man might re-

many couples were married and divorced

In Australia man can divorce a wife

RICHES OF THE SOUDAN.
Question f. How Soon the Country
Can BE Made to Pay.

S"h DG Maoc 10 f0y.
From the Fortnightly Review.
How soon can the Soudan be made to
meet its own share Of expense and relieve
the Egyptian exchequer? 1t must prove. at
first. a costly acquisition. For the reasons
already given a numerous local force must
be maintained. and although the Egyptian
army estimates may be relieved by GER
tain reduction of the native Egyptian
troops, the military establishment in the
Soudan will still constitute a severe tax
to which the province can contribute little.
Even in more fourishing days, before 1t
was wasted and depopulated by the pitiless
larly productive; its export trade did not
exceed Fl, 600, 600, and Its chief product was
gum arabic. There is some accumulation
Of this, it is said, awaiting more peaceful
dustry will no doubt revive and develop
Agricultural enterprise will probably ex-
tend, especially in the lands longest re-
covered; the fertile province Of Dongola,
counts. has made rapid progress under the
active steps taken to recolonize. Nine
tenths of the old population has returned
many from the lower province, and grants
of land have been freely given to all. The
same good results may be seen higher I'd
the river, at Abu Hamed and Berber, and
all trade will be stimulated by the facilities
offered by several roues-the new railway
back to Wady Halfa, and the now reopensd
desert road to Suakin.

toum, and beyond, 1t Is not yet in the
Egyptian possession. and 1t is still an I'M
known quantity, it's resources hardly ex-
piored Many think that it is rich In min
eral wealth, and the existence of a great
goid-bearing field in this southeastern ex-
tremity has long been known, the country
of the Benz Shengol on the confines of
Abyssinia, and believed to be really the
site of the biblical King Solomon's mines.
The sad fact is also known that this valu-
able auriferous territory has already passed
into other hands. The man in possession Is

ness that its equal can not be found any
where. The architect is Aristides Leonori
an Italian well known for his construction
of monasteries abroad. Mr. Leonori has
spent much time and travel in the Holy
Land If order to obtain material for the
exact reproduction of the many places rep

Is Ike those in Europe. Neither time
labor or expense has been spared in this
work. Mr.. Pho Leonori, brother of the
architect is the superintendent of the
building. and Mr.. G. S. Larcombe is the
contractor. Work is progressing rapidly,
and 1t is expected that the building proper
will be finished early in the new year. All
of the material is at hand; it only remains
for the workmen to do their part. The in

To be Americans, not foreigners, as has
been mistakenly asserted. The situation
is in the midst of other Catholic orders.
Only quarter of a mile away is the
Catholic University of America, near which
is the Paulist College, while closer at hand
are the Marist and Holy Cross orders. But
a few reds from the grounds of the Catho-
lie University the Sisters of Notra Dame
will soon begin the erection of convent,
whose work will be closely allied with that
of the Visitation Convent of Georgetown.
With the magnitude and originality of the

cite more interest than its older associates.
The Franciscan Order.
The Franciscan order of monks, which
was founded by ST. Francis of Assist, dates
back to 1909. In 1910 the number of fol-
lowers had only risen to ten, but within
the next seventy-five years there were 2O0,-
900 of these monks, with 5000 monasteries
scattered in different provinces. Poverty
is the chief principle of the order. The
simplicity of the rule gave rise TO much diff
ference in opinion wherever new general
was elected, but it was not until 1865 that
any separation came. In that year the
order divided into the ObservantS, who
were very strict in their rule, and the Con-
ventuals, who had a milder rule. The
FrancisCans We're the frs missionaries in
America, having come over with Columbus
on his second voyage. The habit of these
friars consists of the usual loose gown
with cowl, cord as a girdle, and SAN
dals.

the monastery and the church, connected

The Monastery.
The monastery is 30 feet square. with a
central open court 1Iu feet square, two
stories high. with a basement. Spacious
open corridors overlook the court which

such trades a. carpentry. masonry and the
like. The west end of this floor connects
with the underground passages to the grot-
toes.
On the south side of the first floor are the
offices of the commissariat and the Ameri-
can College for Missionaries in the Holy
Land. The east end is taken up, for the
most part, by two large dining rooms one
for the lay students and the other for
those admitted to the order. The remainder
of this floor comprises study and class
rooms and sleeping apartments for the
professors and monks.
The next floor is devoted almost exclu-
sively to the lay students. On the north
side is the dOrmitory, a series of small
rooms connected by narrow alCoves Here
are TO be the library and several study and
class rooms
The floors of the entire building are of
cement, and everything is of the pIainest.

Strong Forces off Troops to Remain

Strong Forces off Troops to Remain
at Manila nnd Porto Rico
WASHINGTON, Aug. bit is prob
a BILE that the conquered stations, like
Porto Rico and Manila, Will remain I'M
der military government until congress
can act. 1t Is believed that the mill
tary. commissions which are to be ap-
pointed within ten days will make such
recommendation to the president
In fact, 1t is pointed out that little else
can be done for Porto Rico and Manila
which logically should be governed at
present by the war department and a
military commander. In Cuba, it is
quite likely that, SO far as the United
States Is concerned, 1t will be through
the secretary Of war and the officers
in Cuba under his direction.
Consideration is being given to the
appointment of the military commits
sioners and many of the prominent
commanders in the army have been
mentioned.
The energies of the war department
are now being directed toward making
the soldiers in the field and in the diff
ferent camps as comfortable as posi-
bic, relieving the sick, taking care of
the wounded and placing the soldiers
in healthy and more pleasant camps
and quarters.
Arrangements have been made to
send larger reinforcements to Gen.
Merritt. With the troops already at
Manila and those which will arrive
within a very few days, Gen. Merritt
will have $4,000 men. The 1000 troops
at San Francisco are to be sent as
rapidly as transports can be obtained.
These transports are now on their way
from Nagasaki to San Francisco
The war department is cancelling the
charters to the various vessels used for
the transportation Of troops. The gov
eminent purchased thirteen vessels and
chartered about fifty. Already the
charters of the Lampasas and Louis
lana have been cancelled and orders
have been issued cancelling those of
the Concho and Lenora as soon as lney
arrive from Santiago. Ships will he
retained as long as necessary to trans
port troops, but, as the necessity for
rapid transportation has been remov-
ed, fewer transports will accommodate
the troops that are to be moved at sea.
