Juvenile Literature.

A mother. recently Investigating the cause of her I3-ycar-Old sons poor re- ports from school. discovered that he was reading himself stupid. She had rather prided herself on his evident fondneSS for books, and as all he read were from good libraries and publishers she confidently thought there could not be too many of them. Yet children may read too much. just as they may eat too much This particular mother found that her son was taking books to bed with him, reading them late at night and waking at dawn to pore over them {; that his desk at school was full of them {; that. ill fact. he was suffering from mental dyspepsia, the result of overfeed- ing with story books It will take pa ticut supervision and long continued care and effort to restore the boys mind to it's normal condition.
 All this, as has been said, with what arc called today good story books. A publishers ideas of good do not, how ever, always coincide with those of the child lover and child student. While ju- vcnilc fiction is very attractive and is quite different from dime novel sensa- tionalisln, it has nevertheless q strong element of excitement. This fact is quickly discovered in attempting to write for any of tho leading editors of children s reading. Strong incident and spicy adventure, is their cry, and pictures of situations thrilling enough almost to satisfy the readers of a pen ny dreadful" are not wanting between the covers of high ranking juvenile lit craturc.

The Order of St. Monica.

How many people of the workaday world realize that there is in this prosalc country anything which smacks of mediRvalism as an order of "consecrat- ed widowhood?" Sisterhoods where vir- gins become tho brides of the church are numerous in the Roman Catholic church and are not unknown among the Episco- palians, but the order of St. Monica is an order of widows. It is an Episcopal organization, and its head is Sister Car olinc, the widow of the Rev Ferdinand EweP of New York. It was formed in 1881. but its members were somewhat scattered and engaged in different pur- suits until recently, when they have been invited to reunite at Springfield, Ills. and to take charge of an orphan age there e-Philadelphia Press.

Be Cooks First.

Kate Field. the clever writer, address ed some remarks not long ago to girl graduate, which are especially timely at this season. To be sure, they are to be taken with a grain of salt, but they are none the less valuable and suggestive:
 Dear graduates, cooking is the alpha bet of your happiness. I do not hesitate to affirm that this republic, great as her necessities are in many directions, needs cooks more than all else. The salvation of the national stomach depends upon them. We are a nation of dyspeptics, and Americans are dyspeptics because they eat the wrong foods badly cooked, which they drown ill ice water. They are dyspeptics because our women don t know the rudiments of their business and resign their kitchens into the hands of incompetent servants, of whom they are afraid, and whose impudence they frequently endure through sheer help lessness Be cooks first and anything you please afterward. On you posterity waits.

1ndia,s Intelliccnt Women.

Mrs Annie BcSant's observations of women i'll India. during a recent visit to that country, led her to think them vcry intelligent, and while their stand ards and methods of education differ materially from those in other coun- tries. ;t,y>rding to their own estimate If learning, many of tho women are highly educated. Reading and writing Ire not . part of their education, how ever, as all their knowledge is acquired from "punditS, who go from house to house every week to give oral instruc- tion in philosophy and literature to the entire household, so the memory is won derfully strengthened by this process of training the mind quickly to grasp and retain all the information entirely inde- pendent of books for reference.
 Indian women arc peculiarly simple and childish in character, yet very diff fcrent from Europeans of the same class. Northern and southern India, says Mrs. Besant are two distinct coun- tries in all the laws and customs which affect women. In the north the ''Pur- dah" is ir full power, and the women look upon any publicity as an outrage. while ill the south their position is quite different. yet men and women do not meet freely ill society, Mothers and grandmothers have great influence and authority in the family and home life, and in outside affairs as well, for an Indian will not act in public matter against the advice of either one In southern India very young children are married, and if the infant husband dies his youthful widow can never marry again.

SEVENTEENTH SENATORIAL

The contest for the republican nomi-
nation to the senatorship of this
district is growing in interest. From
the last issue Of the Stuart Locomotive
we take the following announcement
of p. L. Sewers candidacy for the place:
T.. l.. Sever, of Stuart, has decided
to allow his friends to present his
name to the republicans of the Seven
teenth Senatorial district rs a candi-
date for the nomination. During the
discussion of candidates for senator
ial honorS, the Locomotive has had but
little to say. Knowing that in certain
contingencies Mr.. Sever would be a
candidate, and that his candidacy, if it
ever materialized, would depend on
republicans outside Stuart and Guthrie
county, we were not in position to
speak positively until to day. The die
is now cast. Mr.. Sever will be candi.

In presenting Mr. Sever as candi,
date for senator, the Locomotive wishes

of Guthrie county for ten years, a
graduate of the state university. He
is actively engaged in the practice of
his profession, and largely interested
in agricultural pursuits, being owner
or manager of several hundred acres
OF land in the immediate vicinity OF
Stuart lie has always been an active

For three years, SS990-9l, he was g
member of the state central committee
from the Ninth district. Besides his
services in the management Of party
affairs, he has each year since his resi-
dence here been one of the most active
and efficient stumpers.
We are not permitted to say any
thing eulogistic of Mr.. Sever, therefore
with these few plain words the Loco

date, submits his candidacy to the con
