HERBERT SPENCER.
HOW TIE GREAT PHILOSOPHER IS
SPENDING HIS LAST DAYS.

Mentally sound, but Physically
Weak, lie Is Practically "A HecIuse.
His Early Struggles as an Author.
Incidents of His Career.
Herbert Spencer, the great English
philosopher, who was eighty-three last
April and who has been in feeble
health for many years, is still sound in
mind despite recent reports to the con-
trary, but he has finished his life work
and will probably never write another
word intended for the public eye.
The aged philosopher is now practi-
cally alone in the world, having not
II near relative living. Huxley and
Tyndall are gone, nearly all his other
old friends except John Morley have
passed away, and be is said to feel his
isolation keenly. He lives a very lone
ly life in his retreat at Brighton, Eng
land, where from his window he can
look upon the sea. The man who acts
as his secretary is almost his only COM
panion in the house, and he is spending
his old age in hermit-like solitude.
He was once an adept billiard player
and was rather proud of his skill, but
he 10 longer handles the cue. On one
occasion at the AthenRum club the
philosopher found his master at bill
lizards in a young man who beat him
thoroughly. When his defeat was no
longer to be disguised Spencer leaned
on his cue and delivered the following
speech to his antagonist: "A certain
proficiency in this game is possibly a
desirable accomplishment. but the ex-
traordinary ability, sir, you have just
displayed can only be the fruit of a
misspent youth"
Another story is related of Spencer
in which he came out second best, his
antagonist being a boy, although bill
lizards was not on this occasion the
game. Spencer happened to be stay
ing at a country house at which the
gentleman who related the incident
was also Il guest. One morning a
youngster, looking out of the window,
saw a large flock of crows alighting on
the lawn and cried out, What an aw-
full lot of crows!' upon which the phi
losopher. in a tone intended to convey
a mild reproof, inquiringly said. "Well.
my young friend. are crows really so
very awful?'
The boy answered quickly, Il did not
say What IA lot of awful crows but
What an awful lot of crows"
The philosopher remained silent, and
IL -. l. IL Il -.---4
Had him that time, | think. sir"
For the first twelve years of his lit
erary life every one of Mr.. Spencer's
, 1903-11-25

books failed to pay for the paper,
printing and advertising. and for long
after that they failed to pay his living
expenses, which were very small.
Social Statics,' the earliest of his
great books. was sold on commission.
and it took fourteen years to dispose
of an edition of $50 copies. But the
popularity of his writings grew with
the passage of his years, and in later
life the philosopher remarked:
Years ago my Principles of Psy
chology' was by no means popular, and
instead of calling it 'Cavaire to the
General | used to call it Cod Liver Oil
to the General for | am sure that if
n~inety-nine people out of every hun
bred were asked whether they would
take a spoonful of cod liver oil or read
a chapter of that book they would have
preferred the cod liver oil
Herbert Spencer's life work. Syn
thetic Philosophy was begun in 1860
and only completed in 1896. In the
days of his adversely, when he found
that his literary work was making him
DOOItIs liz CdllCd Il h1l L ~
that after fifteen years of labor he was
behind $4,000. 1t was impossible to &C
on at that rate, and the author, who
had Mt that time begun his great Syn
thetic Philosophy" which was appear
ing in quarterly numbers. issued to
subscribers a notice of cessation. But
Just then. when it seemed that the
great work of his life must stop. there
came to him for the third time in his
life a bequest. and the work went on.
Then the scientific method of study
ing human life began to find willing
pupils not only among scientific men,
but also among young students at the
universities and workingmen, who
gave up their evenings to the study of
technical or social sciences. Few books
of philosophy have enjoyed so wide Il
popularity as the Data of Ethics"
Herbert Spencer was the son of Il
schoolmaster ard was educated Mt
home by his father. He never attend
ed college and has always declined de
grees from institutions of learning.
When they were conferred upon him
he ignored them. At the age of seven
teen he became Il civil engineer and
for nine years followed that profession.
Then for five years more he acted as
subeditor of the Economist before he
turned to the work with which his
name will always be identified. Mr..
Spencer never married.
