the parish of its difficulties In the
first place, he was a great preacher;
not popular preacher in the common
acceptation of that phrase. but one who
appealed to strong and trained minds.
The men of his own and other learned
professions loved to listen to him. They
admired his ripe scholarship and his
remarkable powers of analysis and
synthesls. AS a friend remarked Of
him, He tore apart and put together
with skill that have never known
equaled. His preaching power had
apparently not reached it's full develop
ment when he died, for during the last
year it was more effective and apparent
than it had ever been before.
AS the head Of parish, Doctor
Brooks displayed great administrative
ability and wonderful care and talent
! for detail. Scholarly tastes, oratorical
power and business capacity have
seldom been combined as they were in
Doctor Brooks. and the condition in
which he left his own and his church,
affairs bears testimony to a painstak
/ ing skill that would do credit to n
/ trained man of business.
He was an old-fashioned churchman.
More perhaps than at any other church
in New York, the Episcopal service was
read and sung at the Church of the In
carnation after fashion that was dis
tinct from modern ecclesiasticism. Il
was conducted as Doctor Brooks him
self saw and heard it in his boyhood
in old ST. Paul's in Boston. and as many
of the elders of his congregation re-
member its ministration in the days
when st. Georges was in Beekmar
street and when noble simplicity
reigned.

she yet longed for the girlish joys shs
had missed in youth. and prepared to
gaily. carelessly enjoy herself. But at
this time the Bordin prize was offered
by the French Academy Of Science for
the most excellent exposition Of this
subject, ITO Perfect in One Essential
Point the Theory of the Movement of
Solid Body Round an immovable
Point" For this prize she determined
to compete, fully aware that she was en-
tering the lists against the savants OF
Europe. While engaged In the ardu-
Gus work she had undertaken, Mad
anne Kovalevsky met the man who In
spired in her passionate and exclusive
love. This was no season Of repose in
happy and cOntented affection. Her
paper was written while she was in a
state OF intellectual and emotional fey
ment. Her lover, Russian gentleman.
asked her to be his wife, but she was
! too suspicious, too exacting to grasp the
/ happiness offered. Her penetrating in
! sight had proved itself again and again
{ in every demonstration of mathematics.

tuition now. when they told her tnat
the man to whom she gave the devo-
ton of passionate heart desired to
/ possess not the woman he loved, but the
! genius who would lend new luster to
his name? In 1883 the Bordin prize
was given to No. 2, for the names were
inclosed in sealed envelopes, and were
unknown to the judges. On account OF
the great scientific value Of the work
the prize was raised from 5000 to 1O,-
600 francs. No. was Sophie Kovalev-

In one bound she had won her place
among the foremost scientists OF Eu-

very time that she has never In her life

mathematics there, Weirstrasse, re-
oeived her frigidly. and. as a means of
cooling her ardor, sent her a paper
which was sufficiently full of difficult
ties to daunt trained mathematician.
In few days Sophie returned with
the correct answer to every question.
In short time Monsieur Kovalevssy

row and remorse. lay for long time

Sweden and began those wonderful

Doctor Brooks was born in Rowe

the son of William G. and Mary Ann

was graduated in the class OF 1861.
After this he studied for year at An
dover Theological Seminary. Then he
went to the Episcopal Theological
Seminary in Philadelphia, being grad

ordained deacon at old Trinity, Sum-

brother, Phillips Brooks, was then the

quently fished 1t out with his fingers
and graciously offered 1t to the father.
The discourse at meals especially be-
loved by the Mahdi was the praise Of
simplicity.

carpets. cushions and delicate viands.
We need none Of these: we sit upon the
earth, eat little simple food, and are

Surely. surely" answered tho
guests. I'VE do we'll"
All this, according to Father Bonomi,
was mere pretencc. The Mahdi In secret
abandoned himself to every Imaginable
excess, and his death was due to this.
When asked whether the Mahdi had
nothing extraordinary in body or mind
to account for his mastery of men. the
father replied that he was great
knave and had. the good luck to seize
the right moment. Graver revolts than
that of the Mahdists have been put
down with little force. but when
Mahdism arose Egypt was troubled

England, and besides the Egyptian gov
errors in the Soudan had incurred the
enmity of the people.

us and her temperament were at war.
To give some idea of the environment
and events which Influenced her career,
it may be well to state something OF
her history. Sophie Kovalevsky was
born in 1850. Her parents were Rus
SLAMS Of high birth, but her own ac-
counts of her utterly neglected child
hood cause one, in this age OF PAM
pered children, to pause aghast. Her
delight was in studying the papers
hung upon the walls of one OF the rooms
set apart for the children. These pa
pers were printed lectures on the IN
tegral and differential calculus. and
these she pored over until some degree
of their meaning dawned upon the
brain of the child. A few years later,
her father allowed her to have some IN
struction, and her mathematical ability
was Immediately recognized. 1t was
just at this time that the intellectual
restlessness, the passion for change, the
desire for knowledge, spread through
the Russian women of the upper classes.
Sophie was dominated by an older SIS
ter (Anna), of an erratic and some
what sensational nature, who imbued
her with the belief that the only way
for them to secure the freedom their IA
Their had denied them to study In
foreign university, was for Anna to
| marry. Her idea was to contract one
of those curious marriages, by no means
uncommon in Russia at that time,
in which it was understood that SO soon
as the legal ceremony was performed
| both parties would be at once free to
continue their studies apart.
Sophie, Influenced by Anna. accom-
| panied her to the study of professor
of whom they had heard, but never met.
There Anna showed no signs of maiden
timidity. asked his hand in marriage
stating her reasons for so doing. He
politely but firmly refused. Nothing
! daunted, Anna sought young student
! Vladimir Kovalevsky, and repeated her
Offer. Again she met with no encour-
agement. but he tempered his refusal
saying that he would gladly marry the
reserved and studious little Sophie

Why We Dance.

Here lies the origin of dancing as found by Mir. Spencer: Muscular move. ments in general are originated by feel ings in general The violent mus oular motions of the limbs which cause bounds and gesticulations as we'll as those strong contractions of the pectoral and vocal muscles which produce shout ing and laughter become the natural language of great pleasure. Conse- quently children shout and jump when they are pleased. So when primitive kings are honored by their subjects they are honored by irregular jumping and gesticulations, with unrhythmical shouts and cries, at first rising without con- cert, but which gradually by repetition become regularized into the measured movements we know as dances and the organized utterances constituting songs.
 It is probable that the bored gentle. men who so far overcome their disin- clination to violent exertion in public as occasionally to oblige their hostesses by dancing will receive such a shock from this horrid early affinity with fir regular jumping and gesticulations" as to forego it incontinently. Nevertheless there is much to be said for Mir. Spcn- cer's view. It was certainly that of early England A male dancer was "hop- per-" and lady dancer a ''hoppster, " and as regards the emotional uses to which dancing was put we have still preserved the historic lines depicting the rude joy of the too prosperous and encroaching Flemings in the eastern counties:
