Max Muller Dead.

The Right Hon. Friedrich Max Muller, corpus professor of comparative philology at Oxford university, is dead. He was born Dec. 6, 1923. Friedrich Max Null ler's title to rank as one of the most dis tinguished philologists of the century is secured by long lifetime's output of in- industrial researches into the origin of languages. To him more than any other scholar since the days of Sir William Jones the western world is indebted for the opening up of the vast field of Sanskrit literature, on the knowledge of which depends a fundamental conception of oriental modes of thought. Max Null ler's bent to the study of the languages of the east was early shown.

Another birthday. Like a that tstls Her beads within the convent's narrow cells My soul takes heed. Not those dull beads she
 loves,
 Although she cons them with such eager eyes; It Is because they bear her soul above And aid the yearning spirit to arise.
