termined to compete, fully aware that she
was entering the lists against the savants
of Europe
While engaged in the arduous work sfv
had undertaken, Madame KovalevsEy met
the man who inspired in her a passionate
and exclusive love. This was no season
OF repose i'm happy and contented affec-
tion. Her paper was written while she
was In the stare Of intellectual and emo
tional ferment. Her lover, a Russian gen
tleman, asked her 10 be his wife, but she
was too suspicious, too exacting to grasp
the heppiness offered Her penetrating
insight had proved itself again and again
in every demonstration of mathematics.
Should she doubt her marvellous intuition
now, when they told her that the man to
whom she gave the devotion of passion
ate heart desired TO possess not the woman
he loved but the genius who would lend
new lustre 10 his name?
In 1888 the Bordin prize was given TO
No. 2, for the names were fncloeed In

the Judges. On account of the great SCI

raised from 5000 to 10000 francs. No. 2
was Sophie kovalevsky.
In one bound she had won her place
among the foremost scientists of Europe
She was the heroine of the hour in Paris,
and yet she writes at that very time that
she has never in her life been SO unhappy
She has published, in addition TO her

and usually two portieres. The art linens

piazza is putting on white, soft
finished sateen u lovely design OF large
grape leaves. The leaves are done in shaded
greens in flax, which has the double merit
Of working effectively and of wearing in
definitely. A few straying tendrils connect
the leaves. The design was copied from a
pair Of old English curtains worked over q
hundred years ago. Another pretty design
is loosely strewn punches OF clover. The
all-over designs OF these bed room sets are
not to be commended as at a little distance
they too much resemble the printed cloth,
an effect much to be regretted by the in
dustrious needle woman who has spent days
Of labor in their execution.

HER EARLY SUCCESS.
Monsieur and Madame KOvalevsky nov

Of the most celebrated peI,ple OF the day.
Aftera brief sta there they went to Hcidel.
berg, where they were enrolled as students.
Here Madame Kovalevsky's remarkable
mathematical ability soon attracted tu her
much notice: After time, she went to
Berlin to study, but the great professor Of
mathematics there, WeIrstrasse, received
her frigidly, and, as o means OF cooling her
ardor, sent her paper which was
sufficiently full OF difficulties 10 daunt a
trained mathematician. In q few days
Sophie returned with the correct answer to
every question.
Now ensusd q period OF severe study, dur
ing which she sent three papers to the
6ottingen UniveBity, OF such remarkable
power that the university conferred the de-
groe Of doctor upon her without an examina-
ton. Monsieur and Madame Kovalevsky
now abandoned that ideal relation " hich 90

and Madame. stricken with sorrow, and re-
morse, lay for a long time very i'll.
After recovering. she went to sw eden and
began those wonderful lectures in Stock

knowledge in a very fascinating way. Her
reputation was now established as one OF
the finest mathematicians in Europe. Per

M. de Vhman, Us Cosmos. has produced
q new rose, distinguished for marvellous
rapidity Of growth. The blossom measures
not more than forty to nifty centimeters
in diameter, and is a cross between a Japa
nese variety and hybrid perpetual rose.
The bush bears roses all summer; single,
double and senli-double, and they have the
form OF pompons and tend to grow in clus-
ters The most striking thing about the
new rose is the astounding rapIdity of
growth. Plants from seeds sown in the

of this year. One OF these began to blossom
