Most people have a notion that IL

do not have any too much vitality
shrink from that. Now a quick warm
bath followed by a cold dash on the

berries are responsible, says Mr.. Rost.
He explains that he has a number of
mulberry trees on his farm and they
are loaded with fruit. The winds of
the last few days nave been causing
the mulberries to fall at a rapid rate,
and he says he believes fully twenty
ave bushels are on the ground.
Rost's chickens have been after these
~mulberries early and late. They refuse
to eat anything else, and the hens are
gorged on the berries. The tenant on
the farm found a purple egg and then
he found another. The longer he
searched the more purple eggs he
found. He was mystihed until he saw
the hens ~gobbling up mulberries. and
then he knew the reason. Mr.. Rost ha
brought some of the eggs here to
prove the story. He is a jeweler and
vice-president of the Peoples Savings
and Trust The owner of the
hens is a brother of Carl l.. Rost, OF
Indianapolis.

"THIS is MY esTH BIRTHDAY
Lewis h.. CARL.

Prof. Lewis B. CARL, who has gained
wide distinction as a mathematician
and as the author of textbooks for the
blind, was born blind in Whitestone, L.
l., June Is, 1S43. When he was about
ten years of age he was entered as a
pupil in the New York Institution for
the Blind. where he remained until he
was graduated in the studies there
taught. The high order of mentality
possessed by tn blind boy. and his pro-
nounced inclination TO study, convinced
his parents that he was. in educational
requirements, destined to outstrip
many of those possessed OF sight. He
was accordingly entered In Columbia
University and in 1870 he graduated,
second in his class. The university
later granted Prof. CARL a fellowship
which is. In reality. a life pension. up
on the sole condition that he should
from time to time file in the unfvers>-
ty library a copy OF any researches
which he might make in mathematics
or other subjects.

the corner of Sixth avenue and Adams street. For years services ave been
held in the little oil rambling chapel ner Fifth n The congregation
