Indian Inventors.

| first Indian Bible. Indians had no printe
| language with letters before the white man
| came. rude carvings and picture writing
being sufficient.
Sequoyah Georgia Indian half-breed. in
vented a perfect alphabet of over eighty let
tiers for the native Cherokee language. By
his own zeal he inspired his nation with a
love of written words.
Sequoyah hated the white people The
reason was because his white father mad
basely deserted his mother when Sequoyah
was baby. His mothers father was a
proud chief. and there is no doubt that his
grandson inherited his proud spirit.
Sequoyah never learned to read or write n
letter of English. His anger was greatly
aroused when he saw any one of his tribe
reading book made by the whites. Sc
quoyah declared he would make a book for
his own people.
He listened for sounds while his people
talked He became a silent student and
lost all his old warlike spirit. He sat by
his doorway and made marks on birch bark
with ink made from the juices of berries
The people looked on him with wonder.
and a great pity, because he would no long
er fight or hunt, nor engage In any kind of
sports.
At last Sequoyah called council He
wrote on the bark and gave the writing to
secretly to read by the new alphabet
She read 1t and did as the writing COM
manded. The test was tried many times
and caused great excitement. The young
men forgot hunting and war for letter writ
ing. while the missionaries adopted the let
tiers and made Bible for their students.
The Cherokees became civilized in a short
time. The first printing press sent to an
Indian tribe was sent in 1920 by the United
States government to the Cherokees. The
type was cast in Cherokee characters, the
same that SequOyah had invented.
A marble bust of this remarkable Indian
adOrns the council house in Tahlequah cap
ital of Indian territory, where the Chero-
KEGS were sent after gold was found on
their reservation in Georgia. The Indians
knew the value of these mines but the
white mans power was stronger than theirs
The Cherokees had to leave their homes
and wealth for strange new lands.
SequOia. the botanical name of the big
trees of California, is the only memorial
the white man has given to Sequoyah, This
truly American genius.

A Trick to Amuse the Little Ones.

Your little friends can BE astonished by a
simple trick that will seem anything but
simple to them and at the same time per-
form a most Interesting experiment. Offer
to turn a glass 6f water into milk by
breathing into it, OF course they will not
believe you can do it, and will make all
kinds of fun at your boast When you have
their curiosity aroused leave the room and
get your magic apparatus together.
You will need some lime water, piece of
glass and an ordinary glass tumbler.
Enough lime water may be purchased at the
drug store for few pennies. half a pint
being more than enough for your Trick. The
niece of glass may be gotten from an old
broken pane-it should be three inches long
and narrow enough to enter the tumbler at
its widest part.
Fill the lumber with the lime water and
bring it into the room where the children
are assembled. Place it on the table where
ali may see, but none must taste. Tell them
the magic properties Of your breath will
change the water into milk; then breathe
frequently into the tumbler, stirring con-
stantly with piece of glass. The perfect
Nv transparent lime water will assume a
chalky line finally growing white until it
resembles skim milk amid the applause of
the audience. 49,
Next explain that your magic breath will
in a few minutes produce chalk; let the
tumbler remain perfectly quiet for time
while some diversion is played; upon look
ing at the water you will fined that layer
of chalk has been deposited in the bottom
of the glass.

Princess Elsa should have wonderful toy

A pleasant little way to distribute the

Another pretty and ever-pleasing DIVER
sion is to have in an adjoining room as

rush in and try to catch the strings In
large cities white balloons with the chill

School Customs. in China.

In China children have no Saturdays as
holidays, no Sundays as rest days. Their
school session is from 6 to 10 in the morn
ing, at which time all go home to break
fast-from II to 1, when recess of an
hour is granted for luncheon, then from 2
until in the afternoon. when school
closes.

are writing materials, brushes. India ink.

In conspicuous view are the articles used
for inficting punishment; wooden ruler
to be applied to the head of an offender,
