The Ideal Wife.

A California man who has studied
deeply on the subject has formulated
the following list of characteristics
that are desirable in the woman he
would marry:
The ideal woman for a wife should have
these qualifications: The voice of Melba,
the talent of Paderewski, the figure of
Venus, the grace of a sylph, the v~ivacity
Of a %coryphee, eyes like the soft glow Of
a moonlit eve, an alabaster-like complex
ion, the virtues of a nun, the charm Of
Cleopatra. the meekness of Moses, the pa
tience Of Job. the forbearance of Laz-
arus, the zeal Of a Trojan, the constancy
of Caesars wife, the capabilities Of a
charwoman, the purse Of Hetty Green and
hair OF her own.
One naturally wonders where the
masculine paragon will be found who
deserves such a wife as the ideal wo-
man should make. What sort of voice.
bank account. temper, nocturnal habits
and whiskers should he have? And il
he We're such an ideal himself would it
be right that he should marry such an
ideal wife? Would it not be wasting
too much virtue on one family?
Where is the ideal woman? you ask.
She is everywhere. She is the woman
every man marries. At least he thinks
she is. His mind may suffer a change
later. but when he leads her to the al
tar he is convinced that she possesses
all the desirable traits listed by the
hopeful Californian and a few others
detected by the fond lover and unseen
by others.

The next day of public observance
will be Memorial Day, the Both of May,
which this year occurs onEFriday. 1t is
a day that for some years past has not
been given the fitting observance to
which 1t is entitled in Langdon and
there seemssto be a generally expressed
desire this spring to make amends for
this oversight. Let Memorial Day mean
something this year, let it show a love
of country, a feeling of patriotism and a
general observance as a holiday. The
townspeople, the school children, the
civic league and our commercial club by
a proper cooperation can very easily
make the Memorial Day of this year one

its credit with the world. for which the
United States stands sponsor by the
terms Of the treaty and indeed by a
provision of the Cuban constitution.
The Cuban congress will probably. aft
err a little delay. decide to repeal the
amnesty act. inasmuch as there is
some doubt whether the veto of Presi-
dent Gomez is sufficient under the con-
stitution, as he had signed the bill.
But the worst is over. The rest will
all be talk.
A good majority OF the Cuban cleo

administer the affairs of their country
in the e four years. 1t is certainly
not their wish that he should enter

not resent the exercise by the WASH

mand the laws repeal.

Municipal Employment Bureau to. Be

Ihe French government passed Il law
in 1904 authorizing the establishment
of free municipal employment bureaus.
Nothing was done about the matter
until last year. when the minister of
labor aroused new interest in the es-
adjustment Of these bureaus. which
had been worked out so successfully in
Germany, Belgium. Switzerland, etc.
He invited the projects to consider the
matter. and the project Of the Seine
has been Instructed to present definite
plans to the municipal council for the
establishment of such Il bureau in one
Of the districts Of Paris.
The plan is to conduct the bureau on
