General John \. Logan. then COM
mander Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, issued an order on May ). 1856,
fixing May 80 of that year for the
G.. \. RS service in decorating the
graves of its brethren. 1t Is probable
that this particular day was chosen
because it was the date Of the dis
charge Of the last Union volunteer OF
the war. And now. born Of love. Sor-
row and anguish. this service, begun in
the southland, is unified into a great
| national ceremonial.
Now that the wal Is almost five
decades in the past one witnesses on
Memorial day the silent tragedy OF
the celebration. In the beginning it
was the men who had gone through
the heat Of battle, who, with their tor
battlcflags and standards, proudly led
the procession.
These men stood for the greatness
of the nation. They all were heroes
who had offered their lives on the
altar. and the uniform was the SYM
Dol of their greatness. But year after
year their numbers have become loss
and less. And herein lies the tragedy
Of it. The professions today are mark

who swing smartly behind bands. But
these pass by and leave the spectator
untouched.

A School For Brides.

A school for brides is proposed in
Cincinnati, where each girl expect
ing to marry soon, will be given a
course of six months in learning to
cook and to do other domestic stunts.
This is not bad idea. The women
themselves have drawn the line that
men must be making good money
before they should become husbands.
At least it is required that a man
shall be in good condition to support
a wife before he marries and any
girl is regarded as foolish who will
marry man who is not earning
enough money to take care of her
comfortably. This is right enough.
Men who are not sufficiently provid-
ed with this worlds goods or earn
ing large enough wages to properly
care for wife ought not to take
one. 1t takes time and great effort
to prepare the man with this qualifi-
cation for husband. Why should
not the girl be prepared to make the
right kind of wife? 1t is just as
necessary that she should know how
to take care of house and cook, i'll
need be, as it is that the husband
should provide the home and food.
A sloven house and a poorly prepar-
ed meal is not giving the husband a
proper return for what he has labor
ed and bought, at ten times the
sacrifice. There are more unhappy
marriages because women are un-
prepared for wifehood than from
men who do not earn enough to sup
port their helpmates. Marriage is a
partnership and each partner should
keep up one end of the row. Eliza
