The Ideal Wife.

A Chicago clergyman preached
practical sermon on the ideal wife
The necessary attributes he dwelt on
especially were truth, gentleness and
pleasing appearance.
To attain the realms of the ideal a
wife must be absolutely truthful to
her husband; she should never criti-
else her husband, nor be scold she
must look her best at all times, and
it is sin for her to be careless about
her personal attire in the presence of
her husband.
These are the quite sensible points
made during the course of the sermon,
but there was one essential virtue
omitted. The reticence that will pre-
vent woman from ever confiding to
people outside her home what trou-
bles she may meet with there.
But when are the clergymen going
to tell the world what the ideal hus-
band should be?

Temper Powders.

Sir Lauder Brunton, famous Eng
lish physician and surgeon, is quoted
by a special London cable to the New
York Herald as recommending a
temper powder" consisting of bro
mide of potash and other drugs,
which should be taken whenever one
is subjected to "some irritating occur
renee" or some depressing news"
ito take away the sting Of either so
that in the place of being much wor-
ried and unable to turn attention to
other things, a person feels as if he
and is able to obtain relief by turn
ing his attention to something else"
According to this dispatch, Sir Lau-
der Brunton recommends the TEN
per powders" as means of prevent
ing chose constant explosions Of tenn
per on the part of member of the
family" which may affect the health
of the other members, who have their
appetites spoiled, their digestion i'm
paired their nerves shattered, and
their pleasures in life destroyed by
the mental suffering induced by the
irritable temper of another. For
these patients the best treatment is to
administer temper powders to the
offending person. when the distress
ing symptoms of the other members
Of the family will be relieved"
This is, indeed, an easy way out Of
trouble; but it is a dangerous expe-
dent, and in the end will only make
| worse trouble, for the effects of bro
| mide of potash and other Supplying
drugs are to leave the subject in a
state Of increased irritation when the
effects have worn off In order to
cure bad temper, then, by this plan,
| the only effective method would be to
keep the patient under the constant
| influence Of the bromide of potash, or
| opium, or some other nerve-depress-
| ing drug.
Bad temper, in great proportion
of cases, has for it's foundation, in
digestion nervous exhaustion, or
some other physical i'll, which may be
relieved by the removal of causes and
| the adoption of suitable physiologic
meacures. In certain cases, moral
remedies are necessary, as well as
| physical.

that, for you have been here for a

Viewed from Business Standpoint.

Walker and Goodrich are undertake

northern New England cities. At a
children's dancing party last February

one animated group of children who

they had overheard concerning the

Are you sure?" asked Margaret;
