EARLY ARITHMETICS.
The Largest Collection Owned by A.
Plimpton, of CHM & Co.

In the history of printed aritnmetics
| the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
| were the formative period, and of all
| arithmetics know to have been printed
| in the sixteenth century and to have
been important enough to have two or
more editions the arithmetical library
| of George A. Plimpton, of CHM & Co.,
| lacks less than twenty-five. Among
the collections of arithmetics printed
| before the opening of the seventeenth
| century his is the largest.
Libri, the collector, brought together
two large libraries of rare arithmetics
only to let them soon be dispersed.
Prince BOncompagni was not able to
make his magnificent library perma-
nent and at his death it was scattered
as were the lesser collections of Kloss
and De Morgan. De Morgan was able
to examine. in the British museum
and elsewhere, less than a hundred
arithmetics written before 1901, includ- :
ing all editions; but Mr.. Plimpton has
| more than three hundred-mOre than
Boncompagni had.
This collection of Mr. Plmpton's has
been made the basis by Professor
David "Rara Arithmetica." a cata-
logue of arithmetics written before the
yeae 1901. He mentions over $50 differ
ent works and nearly 1.2O0 books in all.
including the carious editions. OF these
about $50 are, strictly speaking. arith-
metics.
The authors of the early books were
by no means obscure men. There was
Boethius, called by Gibbon 1.-The last
of the Romans whom Cato or Tully
could have acknowledged for his coun-
tryman." There We're Cassiodorous
and Capella. representatives of the
CULTURE of their day, and Isidorus, the
learned bishop of Seville. There was
Archimedes, improver of the number
system of the Greeks; Euclid. who
contributed to arithmetic as well as
geometry; Nicomachus and Iambichus
representatives of the declining HELEN
ic civilization, and Psellus, witness of
its final decay.
There were the venerable Bede, Sac
robosco and Brawardin, representa-
tives of the culture of medieval Eng
land. and Paciuolo, the great Renais-
sance compiler: and Tartaglia and
Cardan, makers of modern algebra
There were such scholars as Ramus,
Melanchthon and Bishop Tonstall :,
such arithmeticians as Widman, Koe-
bel, Borghi, Riese and Comma Frisius,
who powerfully Influenced education in
their own times for generations after
passing away.
1t is estimated that many arithme-
ties Of the sixteenth century persisted
utterly, leaving no record: their very

England primers of the Franklin-Hall

coMRADsH1P AND MARRIAGE.
An English View or American Woman
and Her Husband.

The freedom of eompanionship per-
mitted to Young persons Of opposite
sex before marriage In this country,
as contrasted with the extreme aloof-
ness enforced by custom in Europe,
has otter called forth comment from
visiting foreigners. A corollary fact
has, however, escaped general observa-
ton. This is the husbands and wives
in this country. American married
couples often lead separate and dis
tinct lives. AS rule they cultivate
less intimacy of daily relationship
than is customary in English house
holds. One is temptd to offer the flip
pant observation that they exhaust
the pleasures Of comradship before
marriage, and naturally drift apart
later.
But the real reason lies deeper. 1t Is
twofold. On the other hand. the absorb
ton of the American man in business
leaves him little time for the pleasures
of simple domesticity. And on the other
hand the addiction OF the American
woman to ultra mural pursuits-char-
tiles, socia, culture, and what-nOt-
takes her out of the house and ex-
hausts her energies in multiplicity
of vanities. Whatever may be the ex-
PLANTATION, the fact itself is patent. 1t
is forcefully stated by an anonymous
writer in the London Times. in a dis
QUESTION on American and English
girls:
women are considered by the Amer
lean man as a race apart, who must
he placed upon pedestal and propiti-
ated by much attention and many Of
ferings In a sense the ehivalric in
stinct is almost too deeply implanted
| in the American man, and in many of
his ideas concerning women he Is, a.
though he would be Mortified to be
| told so, curiously medieval. And here
again we come upon one of those deep
lines of cleavage which divide the
American ideals for womanhOOd from
| the English. In England, before mar
riage, the man and the girl see COM
paratively little Of each other, but
after marriage the common life Is
necessity, and the woman must be pre-
| pared to study his interests and to
make them more or less her own. In
America, before marriage. the man and
| the girl are excellent friends and COM
rades, enjoying much freedom in their
| intercourse; after marriage the two
seem to lead separate lives The man
| is wholly wrapped up. in his business.
and the woman, when her work in the
house is over, devotes most of her en-
ergies to the pursuit Of social pleas
ures. In fact, they cannot really be
said to lead a common life. The
idea of marriage settlements or def
mite allowance is abhorrent to the
American mind; and yet when all is
said and done, the American woman,
with all her independence, is the most
dependent of women; for is not he
| Who holds the purse-strings after all
the real MASTER $ 1t is more than
probable that the large number of di-
vorces in America are due to the I'M
conscious desire on the part OF the
woman to find real partner and COM
rade in life instead of the mere finan-
cial agent that the average American
man is contented to be."-kansas City
