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 tc
her husband; she should never critl.
else her husband nor be scold; she
must look her best at all times, and
it is a 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 a woman from ever confiding to
people outside her home what trou
bles she may meet with there.
But when are the clergymen goins
to tell the world what the ideal hus
band should be?

Compromise in Rice Tariff Case.
Baton Rouge: There is rumor here
to the effect that tentative agree
ment. looking to a compromise of the
case which has been pending in the
district courts for the past year be-
tween the railroad commission OF Lou
isiana and the Morgans Louisiana and
Texas Railroad and Steamship Co. ct
ais. in regard to the tariff on rice and
rice products to New Orleans. This
case originally came before the COM
mission at the December meeting in
1904. In the following May the COM
mission compiled and ordered put into
effect a tariff which was considerable
reduction on former rates. Before this
tariff became effective. however, the
railroads took the matter to the courts.
where it has since remained.
From the best information ObtainabIe
the compromise which IS proposed Will
come within about two cents per 100
pounds of being as low rate as that
ordered by the commissions tariff. and
will provide for refund of the differ
ence between the rates charged and the
COMPROMISED rate on all shipments OF
rice and rice products made since the
tariff ordered was to have become eff
fective. 1t is said there are few
minor details to be arranged before
the case will be formally dismissed
from the courts.

To Preserve Cut Flowers.

To keep a spray of flowers, as
boutOnniere, breast knot or cor
sage bouquet, fold towel four double
and wet it through with cold water.
On this place the flowers and cover
with a washbowl or something SIM
liar. Or, put waxed paper under the
towel to save the drip from spelling
things with another piece or two over
the flowers and tucked in under the
bottom piece to make alright. over
all place a newspaper.
A japanned tin box, such as botan'
lists use for collecting, is the best sort
of container for keeping such flowers
fresh. Lined with waXed paper and
the flowers made moist by water from
an atomizer, and waxed paper as an
inside cover, the flowers will come
out as good as new.
Never put newspaper or other ap
sOrbent material next to flowers un
less it is first made dripping wet, as
if dry, it will absorb the moisture Of
the flowers.
The purpose in all this way OF keep
inc flowers is to cause the stems tt
take up food and drink, to remove
whatever may cause spread of decay
to give fresh absorbing surface ant
to prevent or, at least, lessen evapo

Streets Unattractive.

True to the traditions OF north
italian towns, the streets of Padua
are flanked by low arcades; others
are narrow, sunless passages, pic

an avenue of tombs.
There is much to please the eye, as
one saunters through the main thor
oughfares, trending towards the great
church, which has been the loadstone
Of our visit. The street scenes are
delightful, as they are in all Italian
cities. The people take to their
homes only as last resort, and al

sunshine. We find the poor congre
