the tiny arrows sailed in showers past

qulvering in arms and shoulders. With
contemptuous smiles the young men

sought the surgeon, bearing with them

of waiter in one OF the Paris cafes, was,
twcnty-one years ago, one Of the his

Living at 66 Union street, Jersey City
Heights is a blind gentleman vino enjoys
the distinction of being one OF the fore
most mathematicians in America.
His aptitude for the higher branches
of mathematics amounts to positive
genius. for he has accomplished greater
results in this branch of science than
many of the most distinguished college
professors.
Besides being a mathematician of the
first rank, Lewis B. CARL is a superior
classical scholar, an excellent theoretical
chemist, and fair musician. Yet he
has never seen the light of the sun, for
he was born without sight
How it has been possible for man so
handicapped in the race of life to out
strip tile majority of his competitors is
a wonder. The story of his life fur
nishes a remarkable example of perse-
verance and patient industry applied to
the attainment of noble Is Mr..
CARL was born at Whitestone, L. L,
June Is. 1913 When he was IL years
old he was sent to the New York Insti-
tute for the Blind at 9th avenue and
34th street Here he remained seven
years, during which time he showed
such marked inclination for study that
it was resolved to give him a thorough
classical education, with the view Of
fitting him for the profession of tutor
He was sent, therefore, to the Fairfield
Academy at Flushing, L. l.. to prepare
himself for college. In 1865 he entered
Columbia. and was graduated from that
university in 1870 Seth Low, now the
president of the college, graduated first
in the class. The second honors were
awarded to Mr.. CARL.
While in college, the attention of the
blind student was called to the fact that
there was no work in English of recent
date treating on the calculus of varia-
tions Differential calculus was Taught
in the higher classes. but the more alb
struse branch of the science was neg
lected for lack of any text books on the
subject Mr.. CARL set himself to the
task of supplying the deficiency. For
six or seven years he studied every
thing that had been written on the
subject in the French and German
languages Thus equipped. he entered
upon the more laborious work of COM
position, and after three years Of close
application finished his book. 1t ap-
peared in 1881. under the title Of "A
Treatise on the Calculus of Variations,

among mathematicians, both in this
country and abroad. Few of the

corridor is used for this purp ,se. They
range themselves in two rows. the ladies
on one side and the gentlemen on the
other. and the persons of highest rank

o'clock the queen appears. and
when she has received the salutations of
her guests she passes down between the
two rows to the door of the state dining
room, aud goes straight in to dinner
The guests join in couples and follow
her. Daring dinner there is very little
talking. The guests converse among
themselves in whispers. for it is not ac-
cording TO etiquette TO speak loud.
From time to time the queen speaks to
some one of her guests. but. as it is not
proper to disagree with her. there is,
naturally, not very much done in the
way Of conversations between her mai
esty and her subjects. Dinner usually
lasts for an hour or so, after which the
whole party adjourn to the drawing
room. Here the queen makes few re-
marks to each guest in turn. which the
latter reply to suitably, and without the
smallest trace of originality.
This ended, the queen returns to her
private apartments, and the dinner
party is ended 1t must be added, how
ever. that, dull as these entertainments
are, there is not a single person who
would seriously wish never to be

1t is always better for man to be
several years the senior of his wife
And I'll tell you why. The average
girl who marries-God bless her-stays
at home and makes a home blissful
abiding place for her husband and
her children. The man goes out into
the world and has the responsibility Of
caring for those who are at home, and
yet time does not seem to set its seal on
him as IL does on woman. The little
cares of life ruffie her. and too often
make her look. as we say. ~old before
her time" Now, even when this does
not happen, she does proportionately
grow old in appearance sooner than a
man, and for that reason she wants to
take the benefit of the doubt. and let
him have the added years to start with.
Then, too, you should desire to keep
your heart and mind young; to be his
intellectual companion, and this is much
easier when your husband is old enough
to be -the guide, philosopher. and
friend" The love of a woman to her
husband always has little of the ma
ternaI in it--that is right and tender
but she does not wish to be mistaken
for his mother
Be wise. and marry a man older than
yourself; one who has seen life in It's
many phases, and who can guide you
over the rocky place; one who has
learned that it is not always wise TO
obey impulse, but that any important
dnty should be well thought over.
