he had made certain arrangements
about his passage into England.

WHAT is "THE HOME. =

Archbishop Glennon, in speech be-
for the Catholic Education Conven-
ton in Detroit gives the following
answer:
"A home is first of all builded of
those who dwell there, and its orna-
ments are their love and devotion. The
home should be the father and mother
and children. These are after all its
constituent elements-the father pro-
lection and power, the mother to rep
resent sacrifice and devotion. and the
children to represent obedience and
duty. And in the rounding out of this
family circle that which binds them
all together and makes for the unity,
stability and blessedness of the home
is their mutual affection and devotion
one for the other. Where there is in
the husband and father the prudence,
justice and conservation that st. Jo-
seph of old represented, where there
is in the mother the goodness, sacri-
flee, immaculate purity that Mary rep
resented long ago, and where the chill
dren grow in wisdom, age and grace
before God and men there you find the
Christian home
Taking this as the definition of
home, there are few homes in Amer
lea
Father O'Kourlle gives some start
ling statistics. He says: Statistics of
the last census show that in Maine
for every six marriages there is one
divorce: Indiana for every seven mar
riages one divorce; Massachusetts, one
divorce in every sixteen marriages,
showing the predominance of Catholic
teaching in this state: in Ohio, for.
every eight marriages there is one di-
vorce: in Vermont, one divorce in
every ten marriages. one marriage in
every twelve in the United States ends
in a divorce. and the present average
is eight divorces every hour in the
United States Catholic Journal.

first Of these is. that it stands for the
three words: In hoe signo''--in this
sign-tallen from the luminous cross
miraculously displayed i'm the heavens

other incorrect Interpretation is, that
it means: Jesus HOminum Salvador
Jesus, Savious of Men. These two
views. held by the many are indeed
laudable. but not authentic; laudable,
because the first reminds US of the
eternal victory that is won by those
who march beneath the standard of
Christ: and the second teaches Us that
Jesus Christ died upon the cross to
redeem and to save mankind Though
praiswOrthy and pjous. these interpre-
tations are not authentic, for they diff
fer from the teaching of the first

voLTAIRE IN HIS TRUE LIGHT.

A recent writer in the Bellman de-
clares that despite the generally held
belief that Voltaire had tremendous
influence on French life. his writings
being looked upon as one of the
causes of the French revolution, the
contrary can easily be historically
proved. Instead of being a great man
welding a wide influence, this writer
says that by nature Voltaire was the
acme of self-conceit and through this
unfortunate characteristic he became
later an inveterate critic. He merci-
lessly criticized Shakespeare, from
whom he borrowed, however. "Othel-
10" to transform it into his "Zaire;" he
wantonly attacked Joan of Act, even
in her spotless character of a woman:
after having most highly exalted the
crown prince Of Prussia. he shame
lessly ridiculed his former friend, who
had become Frederick the Great. In
brief, at least in his own opinion, there
was not in creation any perfection but

BILE number of deaths in the provinces
of Bari and Foggia, in Italy, and this
being the case. the local government
board is to be commended for hav-
ing warned the sanitary authorities of
British ports to be on their guard
against the Introduction of the cpl
demic. Happily the disease does not
create such havoc now as it did for
merly. thanks to improved sanitation
and preventive measures, but ii is still
an affliction to be dreaded, and pre-
cautions to ward it off cannot be too
carefully taken. About this date lasr
year it made its appearance in Rotter-
dam. Some deaths occurred but the
author, tiles entered on a stern strug-
gle against its progress. The people
were cautioned by proclamation
against the use of unfiltered water. the
eating of green fruit and excessive
indulgen. ce in alcoholic liquors. The
epidemic was stamped out, proving
that by the adoption of energetic
measures it is possible to put an end
to ii before there is a serious loss of
life. But on that occasion as on
others it became evident that the dan
ger of the communication of the dis
ease to foreign countries by the bacilli
carrier cannot be easily combated.
