MANAGING HUSBANDS.
Some Eighteenth Century Ideas on
This Interesting Subject.

Most quaint is some Of the advice to
women contained in an old hook pub
lished in1737. The volume describes
itself as "an infallible Guide to the
Fair Sex. containing Rules, Directions,
and observations for their conduct and
Behaviour through all ages and cir
cumstances of life; as Virgins, Wives,
or Widows, with Directions how to OBJ
tain all Useful and Fashionable Ac-
comDlishments suitable to the Sex. y
Ii the lady's husband was cholelIc she
was told how to secure her own way
by dexterously ''yielding everything
till he begins to coll. and then by slow
degrees she may rise and gain upon
the Man, or "when other Remedies
are too weak. a little Flattery may be
admitted. which by being necessary:
will cease to be criminal With a
covetous husband. pride, ambition,
vanity, anger, kindness or even dose
of wine may be expected Ito open or
enlarge his narrow mind.' 1.-The
wife's business must be to watch for
critical moments, and not let one OF
them slip without making her advan-
tage of it, And wife may be said
;'to want skill if by these means she
is not able to secure herself in good
measure against the Inconvenience
this scurvy Quality in her husband
might bring upon her.; All the frail-
ties of poor. erring husbands are here
set forth, singly, in plain, unmistak-
able language, neatly docketed: each
with the receipt for cure appended
thereto.
There are other interesting passages
in the same book. Of spinsters the au-
thor says: "An old maid is now
thought such a curse as no poetic
fury can exceed, looked on as the most
calamitous creature in nature. Modes
ty and obedience, though necessary to
all. are vet in more eminent degree
required here. Their Look. their
Speech. their whole Behaviour should
own humble distrust of themselves" :"
Concerning amusements this: 1.-THE
reading of RomanceS seems now to be
thought the peculiar and only becom-
ing Study Of young Ladies. 1t must be
confessed their Youth may little
adapt it to them when they were child
rcn, and We wish they were always IN
that event as harmless. -
Of another vanity: "There is also
another great devourer Of Time-we
mean Deessing. Sure It's allowable
Upon = soberer account that those who
design Marriage should give them
selves the advantage Of decent Orna-
ments and not by the negligent Rude
ness of their Dress belly Nature and
render themselves less anna bic than
she has made them. But. all this be-
ing granted. twill by no means justify
that excessive Curiosity and Solici-
tude, that Expense Of Time and money
too. which is more used.'

A few things accomplished by the
Association during this period are:
The building gremodeled and painted.
Electric and gas substituted for
kerosene. A large choice selection
of modern equipments and models
for the r. r. Mems room for study
secured and placed. Number OF
volumns of books added to the
library-gifts of friends.
Bathroom-75 new lockers, new
showers added. Cement floor re-
placed the old floor. The room en-
larged.
Gymasium-remodeled and paint
ed. New apparatus added. Rowing
machine, chest weights, punching

accidently or Intentionally, causing
dispair. AS the days passed by they
formed friendships that would tell
in future days in the home life.
The fairer sex, how were they to
know which was the particular
friend, the favored one?
There were times of anger and
unhappiness because of the unre-
sponsive meeting on the street
it was "the other one" and they
knew it not.
In business life, there we're many
pcrplexities over letters and bills
which found their way to the wrong
homes. Friends of Willis once had
an aid in determining the identity
of the latter by the presence of a
small bov at his side when on the
streets but small boys grow so they
have had to resort to other devices
for ascertaining differences between
the two. Wilbur has farm which
commands a beautiful view of much
of the country southwest of Bara-
boo. One is well repaid for his
drive when refreshed by the cold
drink from the well and view of
the hills, field and homes that sur
round them.
Willis lives northeast of Baraboo
on a farm that shows that thought
and labor are not neglected by it's
care takers. Both homes are often
opened to their many friends from
the city and their immediate
vicinities. Sleig h-rides in the winter
and picnics in the summer are vel
coined to each home.

mingled with the varying green OF
leaf and fern, golden rod, shumac,
spikenard and many other native
flowers were in evidence, and a
very creditable display of wild as
tiers and other small towering ma
tive plants were shown. Near the
speakers desk were two immense
leaves of the Victoria Regia, meas
urirg nearly seven feet across.
these and some specimens of the
pond lily were sent from the Shaw
Botanical Gardens of st. Louis.
The J. G. Vaughn seed store of
Chicago, sent some extra fine speci-
mems of the Mrs. Frances King
gladioIa and Sylvia dahlia. An ex-
tensive collection Of gladiolas were
also sent by John Lewis Childs of
Floral Park, N. Y.
Besides these were a number of
exhibits from local flower lovers,
some twenty-t b r e varieties of
ferns collected by VIM. Toole and a
number of apples, plums, and
peaches from the farm of A. D.

Mrs. J. E. English attracted much
attention on account of it's variety.
The meeting was called to order by
the president, 7. E. Loope of Eur

pronounced the invocation. Mayor
Marriott welcomed the members in
a few well chosen words, assuring
them of the city's pleasure in en-
tertaining the society and compli-
menting them upon the work they
are doing. He spoke of the fact

Willis Byron and Wilbur Miron
Cowles, whose pictures are given,
are twins and have passed the
larger portion of their forty-nine
years among the people of Baraboo.
They were born in Columbia county
but came to Baraboo with their
parents in 1863. They have recol-
lections of the experiences of those
who have gone into new settlements
to make home in the forest.
From infancy they had striking
resemblances, causing much merri-
nent and CONSERVATION among
friends, school Inmates and, at times,
bewildering the members of their
families. Only twins can realize
what amusement may be caused by
being ''the other fellow" and the
question, "Am I, or, am not" came
to them many times.

or beads might be exchanged and

differences by which she might dis

Who can understand the state of
mind of those teachers who had the
care of their school life during those
years; what process of mind to de-
termine which wore boots and which
shoes on that certain day, so that
Justice might be administered fairly
to all concerned. The color of hats
often assisted school mates and
teachers to know for a certainty
but then they often were exchanged,

President Loope in a brief ad-
dress remarked upon the present
year as being unusually bountitul
in returns for the horticnlturist.
The first paper of the day was
contributed by VIM. Toole upon
"Natiye Ferns. He spoke at some
length upon the best locations and
mode Of culture of ferns, and the
varieties best suited for growing
for decoration. A Northeast ex-
posure he considers the best for
ferns usually, and of the twenty
eight varieties found in Sauk coun-
the Lady Fern and Maiden Hair
the easiest to transplant and culti-
vate.
DR.. e. Everett of Madison, fol-
lowed Mr.. Toole in a paper upon
Some Native Flowers worthy OF
Cultivation. He spoke of the num-
Der and beauty of our native wild
flowers and said that the main con-
dition to keep in mind in attempt
ing to grow them is to give the
plant the conditions as to soil, sun
and moisture as near it's natural
habitat as possible. Try only
those plants that the conditions of
your grounds will grow well. There
are plants like some people, that
you cannot provide with an agree
able environment. You have to
leave them alone to waste their
sweetness on the desert air." The

The speaker said that any of the

cussion which followedlWilliam Toole
said that more shrubs should be
planted around the library and
hoped that good use would be made
of the grounds about the court
house for the growing of our ma
tive shrubs. He also spoke of the
need of a public park with the work
of a landscape gardiner manifest.
Mr.. A. B. Stout of Baraboo, under
the topic, Practical Botany, dis
cussed that teaching of the subject
in high schools which pertain to in
terests of horticulture. Mainly this
consists of three lines of study; 1st.
Structure and physiology of the
vegetative Towering plants. End.
Methods of reproduction with in
volved problems, 3rd. Pathological
conditions resulting from parasitic
fungi. While the entire course of
study pertains to types that have
economic significance yet a general
view of the entire field of botany
should be treated covering algae,
fungi, liverworts, mosses and flower
ing plants, but paying most atten-
ton to the fungi and towering
plants. Considerable emphasis was
made on use of plant specimen and
