CODE FOR A WIFE
ADY Burton has been forl

r ADY Burton has been formulate
ing code of rules to gov
A@ern Il wife. The husband
should find in his wife. in her
opinion-and she is woman of ex-
perience and observations compan-
ion, friend, con1idante and SO much of
everything pleasing that he will have
nothing to seek out of his home. The
wife must be a careful nurse when he
Is sick and at all times make the home
superlatively attractive to him, letting
him smoke everywhere and have at
home the society that suits him at all
times, and the wife should study to
keep au fat as to his pursuits and be
prepared to 60 with him at an hours
notice and rough it like man. The
wife. moreover, must let him see her
affection for him and never refuse him
anything he asks, and, withal, keep up
the honeymoon romance and dress to
please his taste always. The wife
should be always pushing his interests
wherever she Is. If the husband is
only interested in planting turnips the
must never tell female friend about
her domestic affairs and must shade
her husbands faults from everyone
She must never allow anyone to speak
disrespectfully of him before her and
never hurt his feelings even by jest.
She must never ask him not to visit
other women. and she must trust him
and must not bother him with religious
talk, but set him good religious en-
ample. The wife should. however
"try to say little prayer with him
every night before going to sleep
Perhaps Lady Burton has lived upon
the precepts she has laid down for 9th
ers. If she has, her husband is man
greatly to be despised. for no man Of
spirit-no man capable of winning and
retaining the respect or love of n wom-
an whose respect and love are worth
having-would exact such things from
the woman he calls wife. There is not
a suspicion Of irony in Lady Rurtons
words. She will have little success in
converting American women to her
way of thinking. and all manly men
will rejoice in the fact.

perfection at 4 temperature below
freezing.
The number of species of plants
which have become extinct is very
large. and yet generic groups rarely die
out. Comparative researches show that
much the greater proportion of plants
whose remains have been preserved in
fossil condition from earlier geologic
periods belong to the genera which are
represented by plants now living, al
though many Of these existing plants
differ specifically from the earlier ones.
From this it seems that new types are
outgrowing the old ones constantly and
take their place in the general scheme
Of life.
