Max MaIIer's Honesty.

Speaking once of languages to Max

scholar, asked how many he knew.
Il hope know my mother tongue"
he replied. Il am acquainted with a
few others
why this cautiony laughed the
lady.
Il will tell YOU" said the great San
skirt scholar. There came to me one
day as l sat here in my study, the
Buddha on my hearth, a man who
seemed my ideal Of the Sanskrit priest
hood. He spoke to me in an unknown
tongue. | asked him what language
he was speaking
'The man huddled himself together
on the floor and wept.
81 have honored you all my life
said he, as the greatest living Sanskrit
scholar in all the world. | speak to you
simple Sanskrit salutation, and you
do not understand me-
'Since them" said Professor Muller,
Il never say that / know any Ian
guage"
1t was merely the difference between
the spoken and the written dead
tongue that had puzzled him. But
that takes nothing from the humility
of the linguist, humility as refreshing
as 1t Is rare and scarcely the mark Of
the age to which Professor Muller be-
longed.
