HIS LIFE WORK DONE
HERBERT SPENCER COMPLETES HIS
SYNTHETIC PHILOSOPHY.

He Began the Series More Than ThIrty.six
Years Ago and Has Finished IL In Spite Of
Discouragements and shattered Health.
Literary Task Of HercuIean Proportions.
Herbert Spencer, the great English
scientist, has at last finished his life
work. The last stroke Of the pen has
been made. The great monument of lit.
erary endeavor stands completed, to last
through how many ages no man can
foretell With the third volume of his
Principles Of Sociology, recently pub
lished, his great work, comprising many
volumes, has been rounded out This
book is the last of the series entitled "a
System Of Synthetic Philosophy.
1t has been herculean task. When it
was begun, more than 86 years ago,
scientists who read Spencer's prospectus
either marveled at his daring or scoffed
at what they considered his folly. The
outline which he gave Of that wonderful
and comprehensive scheme, the vastest
probably which the mind Of any author
has ever conceived, surely the greatest
which has ever been executed, astound-
ed his readers.
AS originally planned, the work was
to consist Of ten volumes and was to
cover the entire field Of knowledge, not
along the movable, but the unBnow-
able. He wGs to take the principle Of
evolution, which Darwin afterward ap-
piled to a more limited field, and, be-
ginning with organic nature, carry it
through to the very end He announced
that he would start with the creation of
the world and pursue his line Of phil
osophic explanation and reasoning
through the development and variation
Of plants and animals, the origin and
growth of the mind, and finish with a
consideration Of the then unconstituted
science Of sociology, dealing with the
evolution of those products of the men
tality, such as language, science and the
arts, whose development had never been
studied in any complete or systematic
manner.
And now this vast task is finished.
| Spencer has fulfilled to the utmost every
promise. He has redeemed every pledge
made in his prospectus. That the great
philosopher himself now fully realizes
his own daring is clearly expressed in
the preface TO his last volume.
"On looking back over the six and
thirty years which have passed since
the Synthetic Philosophy was COM
menced," he says, ''I am surprised al

HIS PROPER PRIDE.
How Good st, Valentine Opened q

"what character In all literature comes
the nearest TO your ideal of loverp" she
asked him as they both sat looking at the
big log fire in her fatheris kitchen.
It was the kitchen Of New England
farmhouse, and therefore the family sit
ting room. The custom OF the community
was for the girls TO entertain their callers
by the flreslde after the old folks had gone
to bed, and Dorothy Somers had been talk
ing for an hour with the young fellow who
had been lucky enough to escort her home
from meeting on Sunday night.
"My idoal Of lover" repeated young
Willis, a little doubtfully. "I don't know
that ever formed mn ideal Of what q lover
ought to be. 1 suppose you have, though. T"
Certainly" she said There was no
affectation about Dorothy, whatever other
faults she might have. "You don't sup
pose am different from other girls, do
your And you don't suppose girl gets
TO be 10 years old without thinking good
deal about the kind of man she is likely
to marry aud the kind of man she would
like tor"
"No, but It sort Of takes my breath
away to But, never mind, who Is your
ideaP"
"Jaoob," said the girl promptly,
Doesn't the Bible say that he served seven
years for Rachel, and they seemed unto
him but few days for tho love he had to
herr Now, that was what l call con-
stancy."
Ned Willis sat thinking awhile before
he answered. He was not hasty about
nything. Then he said: "I don't think
admire Jacob very much. And constancy
is about tho ono virtue should be least
likely to credit him with In spite Of that
very pretty verse you quote. might
serve seven years for the love OF O woman,
but don't think would marry her sister
afterward. -
"Ah, but that was trick" said Dor.
othy hastily, and then, as she remembered

thought, ito torture man who loves me
like that II must have hart his pride
dreadfully, but, oh, how no loves mel I'll
just show him that ! can be as good as he
can"
Accordingly her small brother appeared
at the corner store that forenoon with n
note. 1t was brief one, but long enough
for Ned, for she had written:
Dear Ned, don't think really want
TO wait seven years. Dorothy"
Ned Willis laughed till the tears came
that night when the matter was all ex-
planned and he had seen little Jacobs let
/ ter. "I'll have to have the little rascal's
wages raised for this" he declared as soon
as he could speak.
"But what did you think of me for writ
ing firstp asked Dorothy, almost crying ,

snly of you to acknowledge yourself In the

DC IA soon, and I'm going to marry as
Ioon as I'm ELL
Tho odd coincidence made Ned smile in
Ipite of himself. lie looked at his little
tormentor very strangely for a moment,
and then said bitterly: "Well, Jacob, l
don't know but she may wait for you aft
Or all. But seven years Is n long time to
wait. She might change her mind before
that"
snow, l know you're mad, " said the
boy. Nobody ever calls me Jacob with
out they are mad Ho said no more, and
Ned Willis was too angry to talk. So they
ilosed the store, said good night and went
their separate ways home.
"By jiminyp' said little Jake to himself
as he plowed his way through the gath
ering snowdrifts. 81 don't know but what
Ned Willis Is right about hor changing
her mind. Seven years Is good while,
and don't know as I'd care much wheth-
or she married me or not only she's the
prettiest girl In the whole township, and
won't marry none but the prettiest
guess I'd better settle the matter as soon
as ! can"
Just how to settle it, though, was a
problem that was almost too much for his
queer little brain. He was quite in ear
nest, or thought he was, In his intention,
and 1t had not occurred to him that the
lady herself might object. He had always
admired her, and she had been kind to
him In careless way several times, so
that his boyish fancy had really led him
astray But even his conoeit was not
quite strong enough to lead him to suppose
that she would consent to be openly en-
gagged to him for some time to come.
81 know what I'll do, " he thought after
some days of perplexity. "I'll send her a
valentine and tell her TO wait for me,
Valentines day comes next week, and III
Just settle this matter now"
Accordingly he spent all his leisure time,
which was not much, for the next few days
In composing letter that should suit the
emergency and should be veil written and
free from mistakes. 1t was well written,
for, as was said Jakey was ambitious, and
he had practioed faithfully at his writing,
taking Ned Willis hand for a model, as
Ned was the best writer no knew.
At last 1t was written, sealed and adj
dressed, and the night before Valentine S
day he sneaked up to Farmer Somers'
kitchen door aud slipped IL underneath,
where Dorothy would be sure to sec it the
first thing in the morning
And perhaps her bright, beautiful eyes
did not sparkle whom she found vi There
was not the slightest question in her mind
as to who had sent it, nor did the wording
of it raise any doubt Yet 1t was singu-
lar sort Of valentine too,
Dear Dorothy, 1t rea1, tseven years
| Is a good while, but | shan't marry any
body else, All ask Is for you to walt for
mo. Yours faithfully, Jacob.
sid better not sign my full name, the
writer had decided when he had debated
the question. "lt would make 1t look too
much like business letter, and there ain I
no other Jacob In the village; SO she'll
know who it comes from"
But Dorothy didn't She laughed and
cried again and kissed the letter again and

my audacity in undertaking it and still
more surprised at its completion. In
1860 NY small resources had been nearly
all frittered away in writing and pub.
fishing books which did not repay their
expenses, and l was suffering under n
chronic disorder, caused by an overtax
of the brain in 1866, which, wholly dis
abling me for 1S months, thereafter
limited my work to three hours q day
and usually to less. How insane my
project must have seemed TO onlookers
may be judged from the fact that before
the first chapter Of the first volume was
finished one of my nervous breakdowns
caused me to desist. But imprudent
causes do not always fail. Sometimes a
forlorn hope is justified by the event.
Though, along with other deterrents,
many relapses, row lasting for weeks,
now for months and once for years,
often made me despair of reaching the
end, yet at length the end is reached" "
Mr.. Spencer is 76 years old, but he
bids fair to become an octogenarian in
spite Of his former feebleness. For
many years he has lived quietly among
his books in an old fashioned house in
Regents park, London. He is unmar-
ried, but he has by no means lived the
life Of hermit. A few intimate friends
visit him, and he seldom dimes alone,
preferring to go to some club or to be
entertained by some Of the many people
who are anxious to lionize him. OF
course he meets people whose lack Of
intelligence must bore him, but when
such individuals become too aggressive
he has habit of stopping his ears with
a couple of little plugs which he carries
for the purpose.
He carries his great weight of learn
ing with much modesty, however, and
is extremely simple and direct in his
talk with casual friends or acquaint-
ances. He still wears the broadcloth
frock coat, low cut waistcoat, overgai-
ters and black stock of years ago. He is
Of medium height, but his shoulders
are somewhat rounded. He does not
seem inirm, however, and his pinky
white cheeks, framed in snow white
whiskers, have the look of health.
Herbert Spencer gave little evidence
of his wonderful intellect until he was
80. He started out in life as a civil en-
gineer, with fondness for mathemat-
les, but when he once dipped into phil
osophy he soon went deeper than any
thinker before him had gone and before
he was 40 had mapped out the life work
which he has so recently completed.
Fer many years he worked away in
umlle and almost straitened circum-
truccs, md even now, although his
'Ils hive good sale, he is by no
aus rich man.

In Good Old Times.

The thousands Of ludicrous valentines
that fly nowadays like winged caricatures
were not thought Of until long after the
custom had obtained firm foothold
throughout the world, The good old times
saw valentines composed of intertwined
hearts, and hand and heart ingeniously
cut out Of paper. A motto was usually
written across the design, and the person
who received 1t was certain to treasure 1t
as one of the keepsakos of life, Sometimes
the ornament would be lock Of hair WOW
TN into letters, representing the daily
work of fair fingers at the flreside and the
window. Now and then the motto would
be badly spelled, or couched In the quaint
language of the elder poets.' Our ances-
tors had an photography of their own, as
simple and odd as their lives look to us
now, aud II some of the old valentines
which circulated 100 years ago could bo
dragged from their hiding places they
would be greeted with laughter by the
generations of today.

A Valentine.

T'other day as was twining
Roses for a crown to dine in
What, of all things, midst the heap
Should light on, fast asleep,
But the little desperate elt,
The tiny traitor, Love, himself
BY the wings pinched him up
Like bee, and in n cup
OF my WINE plunged and sank him.
And what d 'ye think didp
drank himl
Faith, thought, he's deadl Not hel
There he liv0s with tenfold glee,
And now, this moment, with his wings
feel him tickling my heartstrings. .
