About MARRYING.

A woman who has made study of
the modern marriage says that she
thinks one dominant reason girls are
less inclined to become wives than
formerly is that they are taught to be
self-reliant to the purpose of self-sup-
port and certain independence they
are slow to surrender. She said:
THE marriage proposition is largely
a matter of education. Some fathers
and mothers always take 1t for granted
that their girls will marry. They edu-
cate them to that end, and talk 1t to
them from their youth. When they are
hardly out of their teens they begin to
invite young men to the house and en-
courage the girls to go out in society.
The result is that their daughters,
without exception. become brides.
Exactly the other attitude is taken
by other parents. They educate their
daughters to be able to. earn their own
living, and seem to think they are as
likely To remain old maids as anything
else. And very often the girls do not
marry.

Summer Fiction.

AS the crop of summer literature IN
creases the sensitive reader suffers
acutely from sentimental Indigestion
There is such samenesS about the
heroines and such a monotonous uni
formity of doubt and self -distrust dis
tinguishes-or diSfigures-the heroes.
They seldom know their own minds,
and they never by any chance read
Alright the mind of the heroine. OBJ
tuseness is their speciality, and playing
at cross purposes their favorite game.
Before the hero of novels became so
rampantly warlike and so tiresomely
Historic" a nimble wit was one of the
chief qualifications for his part. But
nowadays the lady may treat him with
disdain or may go as far to make him
understand the true state of affairs as
any self-respecting young woman can
afford to go. It is never until the last
few pages that it occurs to the hero to
propose marriage to the object Of his
affections in an Ineligible and busi-
nesslike form. Before this inspiration
overtakes him he endures every en-
nobling emotion Of despair, jealousy
and self-renunciation that may lie
within the compass of his teinpera--
ment. This is puzzling. In modern
life, and even as portrayed in the mod
ern novel, the hero finds his mistress,
and takes his answer, and the neces-
saFy complications ensue from her ae
ceptance or rejection Of his suit.
The convention (that is about what
it seems to have come to) ends by ex-
asperating ones nervous system. One
is seized with a great desire to catch
a writer of historical romances young
The Saint Paul globe., 1903-08-06

and to reason.with hAs ssemewhat after
this wise: Look heI Here is the
material for a really Stirring and pic
tureseue historical novel. Here are the
characters, guaranteedE immune from
anachronisms Of every kind. You can
take all this and naks what you like
of it But-p1ease make a note of it
the hero is in love with the heroine;
she is in love with hIzfss and both are
from the outset final sand beyond all
shadow of doubt agreed upon this
point. They have. like sensible people,
talked the matter over, and are in
their own minds in perfect accord as
to their affections for one another.
What may happen 1fterward is your
business, but kindly Remember, they
do start fair and not ain fog. They
really do know their own minds"
One wonders what the novelist
caught young would make of it. He
probably would not live to grow old.
But, at any rate. his method would be
revolutionary enough to break through
a literary fashion that threatens to be-
come a convention.

An interesting and once famous doc

of Lucy Stone. Lucy Stone married
Henry B. Blackwell in 1855, but she
never took his name, and the couple
signed a protest, which was published
far and wide, against "such of the
present laws of marriage as refuse to
recognize the wife as an independent
rational being, while they confer upon
the husband an Injurious and unnat-
ufal superiority, investing him with le-
gal powers which no honorable man
would exercise, and which no man
should possess" In particular the
Of the wife's legal existence during
marriage, so that she could neither
make q will nor sue or be sued; the
ow wnership of her personal property and
use Of her real estate by her husband,
together with his absolute right to the
products Of her industry, and the ex-
elusive control and guardianship of the
children by the husband. In most
states Of the Union the greater part of
this protest would now be superfiuous,
but New York is still numbered among
the states which give. the father supe-
rior, rights in the guardianship of chill

TRAINING OF A PRINCE
Present King of Italy Was Sternly
Brouuht Up.

Everybody who remembers the king
of Italy as a lad should remember the
name of Col Oslo, for many years his
governor. The prince of Naples, as
the king was then called, was a very
delicate boy and he was treated by
Col. Oslo with almost Spartan sever
ity, which was much criticised at the
time. Nevertheless, the king cher,
ished a kindly feeling for him, as was
proved on the occasion of the birt1
of little Princess Yolande, by his con
ferring on his ex-governor the hereli
tary title of count, with the privilege
Of adding the pale blue of the house
of Savoy to his coat OF arms. ne
following anecdote illustrates Col.
OsiOs methods with his royal pupil:
One day he received request from a
well-known parsonage for the auto
graph of the young prince, to be
added to a collection containing that
of his father and grandfather The
prince was about to comply when the
colonel sharply farbade him, adding:
what value has the signature Of an
insignificant boy, who does not even
know how to write properly"

Students Use Their Hands.

A boy graduate of the Stout manual
training school at MenOmonie tells me
that the institution is important be-
cause it teaches a student to use his
hands intelligently as well as his head.
A wrong thought or idea will find
wrong expression in the piece turned
out. A boy in the fifth grade has his
first chance at the bench work. The
first tool he is permitted to use is the
jack-knife, and he is not allowed to
touch hammer and plane until he can
turn out fair piece of whitfield work.
After three years at the bench in the
carpenter shop, the student is promot-
ed to the wood lathe turning depart
ment. Here all sorts of cups, caucers
and ornaments are cut out from a plain
block of wood. After two years at the
lathe a boy is reasonably expert with
his hands. But his course is at this
point far from done. He is next trans
ferred to the blacksmith shop, where
he learns to make everything from
hook to a horseshoe he young arti-
san is kept at this work year, and
when it is completed the student is an
embryonic blacksmith and knows
whether or not he would ever desire
to follow that trade.
