The Modern Wife and the Honey
Question.

Usually It is the shadow of money that
brings the first partial eclipse to the
honeymoon. and unless the problem is
rightly handled the eclipse may become
total. The modern wife cannot be al.
ways asking for money and retain either
her happiness or her self respect. The
husband could not keep his business 60
ing if he did not have a payday for his
employees or If he was careless about
settling his Bills. He cannot expect to
keep his house going without a financial
arrangement that will give it regularity
and security. 1t is passing strange that
this matter should be a constant difficulty
in millions Of homes. but is a hardship
which wives are supposed to bear un.
complainingly. She is a wise woman
who rebels early and secures her rights.
for she will never he a successful wife
until she has her part Of the income
without day Of grace or discounts. This
is important; i: is vital, Unless it is
made a plain and duty fixed. all her
other purposes and aspirations will be
forever handicapped, From the April
DsNaeator.

The Important Position of Kentucky and Tennessee.
By JOHN McELROY. !,

his Corps Commander, McCook, to as
sign him to a position as far as possible
from Rousseau, and McCook was weak
enough to comply. Gen. Sheridan, who
only managed to get command Of a di-
vision by an appeal to Buell., gave little
hint at that time of his future great
ness. He had been Commissary on Hal
leck's staff in Missouri, and as Colonel
of the I'd Mich. Cav. had distinguished
himself by a brilliant dash at Boone
Vile. which, with Halleck's favor, had
brought him the star to replace the
eagle which had only newly lighted on
his shoulders.
The Commanders Mistake Each Others
Plans.
From the first both commanders had
mistaken each others positions and in
tentions. Gen. Buell. had put two di-
visions under the command Of Gen. Sill,
who was detached from McCook's
Corps and moved in the direction of
Lexington to cover Cincinnati and pro-
tect the left Of the army. Bragg was
so poorly Informed as to imagine that
Buell. had extended his whole army
along a front of about 60 miles, so as

to cover with 1t both Louisville and
Cincinnati. Therefore. Bragg formed
the customary plan of attacking this
disjointed line in force at different
points and overwhelming ii.
From the very first the policy Of the
rebels had been the sound military one
Of opposing masses to fractions" that
is, OF making their units much heavier
and stronger than the Union units.
Their brigades were always heavier
than the Union brigades. and conse-
quently also their divisions and corps.
We find this illustrated as early as the
first battle of Bull Run, where their
brigades were from four TO six regi-
ments, while three was the customary
number for the Union brigades. Bragg
followed this sound policy in the re-
organization of his army, which took
place while he was waiting for Buell.
to move out from Louisville. He di-
yided his army into two corps-a right,
under Gen. e. Kirby Smith, and a left,
under Gen. Leonidas Polk. Each of
these corps had only three divisions,
but each Of those divisions had at least
5000 muskets, possibly more, while
the Union troops averaged much less
than 5000 muskets to division. Bragg
ordered Polk to advance from Bards-
town, strike Buelps left flank and roll
it up, while Smith should attack in front
from Frankfort.
On the other hand, Buell. believed
that Bragg was in his immediate front
II force, and would offer battle with
mis- whole army. Therefore, Buell.
moved forward slowly and cautiously,
keeping all three Of his corps fairly
abreast and within easy supporting dis
lance. Polk was better informed as
% these dispositions of the Union COM
mander, and therefore disobeyed
Bragg's order to attack, thereby saw
ing himself from defeat and destruc-
ton. Instead, he swung around the
Union army, heading for Perryville and

About this time Gen. Wright, who
had been in command during Sheridan s

l believe the stolidity of the English
character and It's implicit acceptance
of authority are due in large measure
to the fact that long before it leaves
the spelling class it is ready to believe
anything. And this unquestioning at
titude of mind is only rendered the
more hopeless when it comes to learn
that In one case twelve ounces make q
pound, in another case it requires six
teen. Indeed, If we had set ourselves
deliberately to stamp out rational In
stIncts and the habit of logical and
thoughtful inquiry In the child mind
we probably could not have devised
two more fiendish instruments than
our scheme of spelling on the one hand
and of weights and measures on the
other.-London Mail.

THE "HOLY HOUSE,"
Legend of the Home of Mary and the
Saviour.

Legend of the Home OF Mary and the
Saviour.
Let me give the main outlines of the
legend. At Nazareth was preserved
with pious care the house of Our
Lady. The dwelling place in which
she received the gracious message of
the incarnation, the lowly home which
sheltered the holy family for so many
years. was a very precious sanctuary.
On May 10, 1901, a month after the
taking of Tripoli and Ptolemals, this
holy house was carried by the hands
of angels from Nazareth to place in
Dalmatia between Fiume and Tersatz
on the Adriatic shore.
It was a one roomed edifice, built of
red square stones, fastened with ce-
ment, and bore proof of age and orr
entail design. 1t stood without any
foundations and had wooden deco
rated ceiling. The walls were covered
with frescoes; there were a door and
n narrow window; inside were an
altar of stone, an ancient crucifx, q
small cupboard, containing a few YES
sells of common use; chimney and
hearth, above which was cedar
statue of Our Lady with the Holy
Child In her arms. The pastor Of the
place learned In vision that the build
ing was the house Of Our Lady, the
stone altar that at which st. Peter
celebrated mass and the statue the
work of st. Luke the Evangelist In
proof of the vision he was cured Of q
serious Illness. A deputation Of four
responsible persons forthwith were
sent to Nazareth to investigate the
mystery, and they found that the
house was no longer to be found
Measurement and other means taken
proved that the house that had sud-
denly appeared in Dalmatia was In
deed none other than that which had
as suddenly left Palestine. Three years
after, on Dec. 10, 1894, the holy
house again DISAPPEARED and under
the pontificate of Celestine V. came to
Recanati, q little town In the march
Of Ancona, when 1t fixed itself In q
laurel grove belonging to a pious lady
called Loreto. 1t was discovered by
some shepherds and soon. became rec
ognzed and was henceforth a much
frequented place of pilgrimage. Eight
months afterward the house removed
to a small hill, three miles from Re.
canatl to land belonging to two broth.
ers, who, however fell out shortly aft
erward over the division of wealth
which began to flow to the new shrine
To save strife between the brothers
the house was suddenly lifted once
more and this time settled down final
ly in the midst of the public way
which had to be diverted in conse
Quence. Here, too, in the course OF
time a chapel was built which gave
way in time to the present basilica
The famous pilgrimage of LoretO goes
on today. Popes kings and princes
have visited this shrine and left great
gifts. Later on a festival with litur
gical rites was instituted and in time
the feast of the translation of the holy
house was extended to many countries
