1t is difficult for even the best educated
people to conceive how vast is the body of
learning which has been devoted to matters
not at all in public view. A good instance of
this is given in the photography of the lro-
quoian languages by Mr.. J. c. Pilling, of the
national bureau of ethnoiogy. Mr.. Pilling's
work gives the titles of $40 works, of which
E95 concern printed books and magazine ar
ticles and l54 manuscripts. Although in the
main designed for the use of scholars pursu.
ing studies concerning this interesting group
Of Indian languages, the volume has good
deal of interest TO the public, for n the de-
scriptiOn Of various treatises on III. subject it
gives many bits Of information. The general
reader will find tAere'an account of the Cher
okee Indian Sequoyah well worth attention,
for to this ignorant half breed we owe the
most original intellectual feat accomplished
ON this continent Sequoyah was the son of
a Cherokee mother, his father a Dutch ped
der named George Gist. He was born in
40 and brought up as an Indian.
He neither read nor spoke the English Ian
gUage, and all his knowledge of written and
printed speech only served to make him &C

PAY JOHN WILLIAMS"

At a experimenting down East a man
noted for his failures to meet business ot,li-
cations, arose to speak. The subject was:
What shall do to be saved,' He com
menced slowly to quote the words: What
shall | do to be saved2' He paused, looked
around, and said again: "What Shall | do
to be -aved?" Again with more solemn one
h. repeated the question of: questions, when
Il Voice from the assembly, in clear and dis
tlnct tones, replied: 'Go and pay John vii
lIams for that yoke of oxen"
The incident stlrs up solemn thought. A
great many people before they can b. saved,
OF guide others to the Saviour, will have to
ego and pay John Williams" the money
they honestly owe him. Shrewd trirk-ters
in the marts Of the world are not shrewd
