If the children of the present day do not become learned In science and history by \tho time they have reached manhood and j womanhood It will not bo the fault of the 'makers of books. There Is such a bowll- f' dorlng assortment ot children's histories sand scientific works at the present tlmo ( { that It is hard work to make a selection , Ibut the number Is constantly being Increased - | creased and still the end Is not In sight. iThe oldtlmo nursery talcs , fairy stories and | tmgbcar stories are almost crowded out by newer works o ( learning. The grading fpf thcso books so as to s'ult children of all nnd attainments has no doubt added [ greatly to their popularity and will tend to them In public favor. There are scv- Feral books of this class of recent publlca- lilon at hand and they are as Interesting Quid attractive as their predecessors. "Sto- i of Ohio , " by William Dean Howels , la Interesting und vivid Vccltat of the fovents In the history ot n state that occu- Jplcs nn Important position in the union , lit Is both Interesting and Instructive and ( thus well serves tbo purpose for which It written. It has often been observed [ that history told In an entertaining man- pier Is as easily retained by the memory [ as the plot of a popular novel. Another work on the same order and In binding Is entitled , "Stories of In- and Is from the pen of Maurice Thompson. The stories appear to furnish a very complete history ot the state named from the earliest explorations down to the present time. The author has chosen onlj Uio most characteristic episodes those thoroughly reprcsentatlvo of the times sc that the reader In passing ( rom story tc story feels the changes ot life , sees UK progress of civilization and realizes the spirit of the adventures , hardships , patriotic trugglcs and splendid triumphs of Imlinna'f eoplc through all the phases of thch progress No other book dealing with the history of Indiana gives anything like these stories. They are told In a way to Interest ? j > rcaclois ot all nges. They are good lltcra- J | Jure as well as good history and whll- sj /nnny of them read like romance , they art true to reality. "Outdoor Studies" Is a little book apt - t parcntly Intended to supply a connected se ries of lessons In nature study suitable foi pupils who have had Homo experience am previous training In observation.

"Applied Physiology" for the primary nnc Intermediate grades Is along the sami lines ns the above. The author , Franl Ovcrton , has published an advanced worl and these books , taken In connection wltl It , form a complete graded series. All th books follow a natural order of treatmcn nnd In each ( acts and principles are appllei to everyday life.

The Harpers have Issued a new volume of Will Carlton's "Farm Ballads" that will bo appreciated by the admirers ot the poet of the farm and humble fireside. All the old- time favorites are there , the same that won fame for their writer years n o. Among the novels at ) hand there are two that bear a strong resemblance In that both have their plots founded on Incidents of everyday business life. "Fortuna , " a story of Wall street , by J , B. Crews , a well known banker of the great metropolis , would at tract ! attention from the prominence of the author If for no other reason. Mr. Clews la a writer of considerable note on topics relating to business and financial matters , but In his latest work ho has Introduced the additional feature of love. "Fortuna" may be briefly described as a story em bracing finance , politics and love. His char acters ore first Introduced to the reader's notice on board ono of the ocean liners re turning from Liverpool. The prominent characters are a beautiful American girl o ( fabulous fortune , and an EngTlsh nobleman. The story ends bcflttlngly ; the heroine hav ing refused to become an English countess for the sake of marrying a good American. J. S. Ogllvle Publishing company. The other novel referred to ns having to do with matters of business and finance la "Four Months After Date , " by Randal Irv ing Tylor. The author calls It a "jumble of sentiment , slang and sense , " but whether this 1s a true description or not It deals practically with situations that every busi ness man can appreciate and every business man's wife ; while the Incidental romance should widen the fist of Mr. Tyler's friends to all lovers of Intelligent fiction.

P , Woods , * is a volume of 300 pages , following distinct pro-Catholic lines of argument and bearing the authoritative Indoisumcnt ol Cardinal Gibbons. The style Is Elmple and persuasive and well adapted to popufur com prehension. It briefly recites In their order the stories of the Old and New Testaments and follows the various movements of Chris tianity from the time of the apostles dowr to the present age. It traces the spread ol the gospel through the succeeding centuries and treats from the standpoint ) ot the au thor's religious faith of the great schlstr ot ArlanUm , which dented the divinity ol Christ and which was condemned by the council of Nice and subsequently by tin council of Sardlca , and also of the later de fection of the Greek church and the still later Protestant secession from the Romar church under the original readership ol Luther.

" OMAHA , Sept. 13. To the Editor of Th Bee : An article appeared In The Bee of yea terdny signed Ethel Evans and severcl sco ng the painting "Trilby , " by Coopei now being exhibited at the exposition. S caustic were the comments and so unusun that I think they call ( or a reply. Sh begins at the ( eel and continues to th head and attcr she has finished pee "Trilby" has apparently not a ( oot to stan upon. She says the figure Is not corrcctl drawn , the left hip too high , the neck to thick and course , nnd that a surgeon \\oul say that she ought to be sent to the boa pltal as one of the limbs Is longer than th other. And all this after "Trilby" has bee : exhibited for three years In all ot the prln clpal cities of the country , Boston , Ne\ York , Cincinnati , Milwaukee , Chicago and great many other art centers , nnd has bee pronounced by some of the best critics an artists to be a grand picture ! In the firs ( place , It Ethel Evans will secure a mode nnd pose her In the same position that th model ( or "Trilby" was posed In she wll find that she Is entirely mistaken , and K sh will come again and carefully study th picture I am sure that she will apologlz to "Trilby. " The feet being foreshortene would make them appear small for the flgur unless this fact were taken Into consldcra tlon , then the arms being uplifted woul have the effect of making the neck lee much shorter and thicker than K the arm were down. Then again , the figure Is muc larger than life , being six feet ami ono Inc high , and when standing close and selectln any ono part ( or criticism such things a the eyes and mouth , or other parts o ( th figure might seem too large unless this fa < was taken Into consideration. The ptctur should bo viewed at a. distance of at leai thirty feet away to get the proper propoi tlon. She asks , "Who Is Cooper ? " AD because she does not happen to know hli personally she says much as the prli fighter who Is challenged , "Go and get a repi tatlon before I will recognize you. " I mlgl ask , "Where , did this art critic get her wor derful knowledge of art ? " Has she palnte any picture that has attracted universal a tentlon ? Cooper Is well known In art clrcli from San Francisco to Boston. Ills pain Ings are to be ( ound In the Crocker galler Sacramento , also In the galleries ot & Louis , Chicago and other cities , and h works can be ( ound in private collectloi throughout the country , but if he had nev painted anything but "Trilby" that shou bo sufficient to give him a reputation. Mr. Relnhart ot Milwaukee , probably 01 of the best critics in America , pronounc "Trilby" a great thing. Prof. Sill ! of tl Cincinnati Medical college , who delivers tl anatomical lectures ( or the college , broug bis entire class to view "Trilby" when was in Cincinnati , EO did the professor anatomy of the Tulane Medical college New Orleans , and each of these gentlem gave me permission to say for them th "Trilby" was the grandest picture from i anatomical standpoint that they had ov seen. Scores of others could bo quot K space would permit. Mr. William H. Hu Is quoted in the article as saying "Th In America everything resolves itself lc getting money and selling a poor plctu Instead of a good one. " What an unji statement ! Look at tbo grand works art by Munkacsy , Bougereau , Makart , D prey and scores of other modern palnti whoso works have been sold at fabulc prices , to say nothing ot the old masti purchased in this country. In New Yc recently a olcture Ijy Fortuny sold : $12,000 , so Mr. Hunt was wrong , Ami leans appreciate art and will pay for They also appreciate good exhibition p lures and will visit them. "Trilby" 1 been visited by more than 2,000,000 peoj who enjoy art and will continue to dr the multitudes despite such criticism this article refers to. Ninety-nine < of cverr 100 visitor * * ay that It IB grand. The eastern press and artist * have been lavish In their prtlic of It , yet Kthel Evans saya "They have eyes and sec not. " She forgets the fact that some people "Look through a glass darkly" when attempting criticism , She nlso forgets that thora are several kinds of art , just as there are sev eral kinds ot horses , and that all pictures should not bo criticised alike any more than a race horse should be criticised for not being able to draw a heavy load. Again I will Invite Miss Evans to come and take an unprejudiced view of "Trilby" and I also feel like saying to her , "Come , let us reason together. " Respectfully , L. LINCOLN , Owner of "Trilby. " DIFFICULT TO LOAN MONEY South Dakota Cnimot Find n 1'lncc to I'tit It * Permanent School I'lUlll. PIERRE , S. D. , Sept. 13. ( Special. ) Th state laud department Is finding trouble to get the permanent school fund out Into nn nterest fund. Under the statutes govern- ng the distribution of this fund It Is divided mong the various counties of the stcte , hlch counties are expected to keep their pportlonment loaned. It Is made optional bother the counties accept It or not , but hen they do they are charged up with 10 Interest on the amount taken at 6 per ent. But few of the counties will receive 10 fund on the ground that there ta no de- iand for the money , and they do not dcslro o hold it and pay Interest on It. The ountles are allowed to loan it on safe morgages on real estate , or Invest It In chool bonds. Tbero la no demand for loans n either such securities. Besides these cans , when the state makes a sale , only artlal payments arc accepted and It was upposcd the purchasers would carry the rest t the low rate of 6 per cent , as It Is re- ulred of them that they pay a year's In- crcst In advance to make final payment , and t was supposed that most ot the purchasers ould carry their deferred payments at this ate and continue to keep the school fund eplcnlshed , as the Interest goes ( Mrectly to ho schools. But Instead ot carrying their eferred payments , numbers of them are aytug the extra Interest and making full ottlement for the lands. This Is causing tie permanent fund to accumulate In the reasury , and will cause a shortage in the und for the benefit of the schools It be ing to look as If the legislature would bo ompollcd to make other provisions for ettlng the school fund Into Interest-bearing ccurltlcs to secure the benefit from It which s expected. MONTANA'S SCHOOL OF MINES InllilliiK * Arc JVovr Practically Com pleted After Three Years' AVorli. BUTTE , Mont. , Sept. 13. ( Special. ) The Montana State School of Mines , which has been In course of con traction for the last three years , s now practically completed. In fact ho building as It now stands Is completed with the exception of Installing the heating lant , and this could bo done and the mag- nltlcent structure turned over by the con- ractors complete within a week , If the work was pushed. The only reason this Is not icing done Is the fact that the commissioners tave no funds to equip and open the school , nd If turned over to them they would bo put to the expense of employing watch men and would have to pay all the In- urance. This Is why they have riot In- Istcd upon the contractors pushing the work and completing the building. The last legislature appropriated the sum of $7,500 for the equipment and support of he school. This amount will go but a small way toward the equipment , allowing nothing for running the , school. "Tho board Is now going to expend that money , " said Secretary Gillie , "as far as It sill go , In preparing to ope'n the school , and wo will then have to await the action of he legislature. In a number of states they lave a direct tax for the support of the state school of mines , but we have to have a special appropriation. " All the revenue from rentals Is used to ward paying the Interest on the outatand- ng warrants , which aggregate $95,000. Of the total grant of 100,000 acres , the board has selected , to date , 75,777.03 acres. The otal Income for the fiscal year was $1,827.43. and there will be due In rentals this year ; 280 , making a total income of $2,107.43. You invite disappolntmeut when you ex periment.

WESTERN RANGES DEVASTATED Pioneer Cattle Man Alnken Some In- tcrentliie Observation * nt Uendvrood. DEADWOOD , Sept. 13. ( Special. ) H nry Keets ot Spearfish , the cattle man , passed through here recently on his way to Omaha , to visit the exposition ( or ten days. Mr. Keets has lust como In from his Wyoming cattle range , uhcre ho had been nearly all summer. Ho says the range near his old ranch on Inyan Kara creek Is very short this year , and there is no natcr at all ( or stock. This compcircd him to move bis cattle ( rom than range over Into Johnson county , near Buffalo , over 100 miles west. The ( ecd la splendid out that nay. In ( act It begins In western Crook county , although the water Is short until Clear creek and IDs tributaries are reached. Keets says the ranges on the upper Delle Fourcho and the Little Missouri , thirty miles apart , present strange contrasts. On the former there Is neither ( eed nor water , while on the latter there never was bettor grass , while there la enough water to keep , stock In good condi tion. This Is the Drlsklir Brothers' range , and they have everything they could ask. When snow ( alls their cattle will be abun dantly provided ( or In the matter of ( eed and water. The cattlemen of Wyoming are still suffer ing ( rom the ravages of wolves , and there Is apparently no relief , as the pests are increasing every year , and are becom ing moro destructive. The strange thing j about the wolves is the ( act that they have I only existed In the ranges in sufficient num bers to make trouble In recent years. Ten or twelve years ago they were hardty ever seen , and twenuy years ago , when the first cattle were turned looie on these ranges , loss by them was unheard o ( .
