A BABEL OF TONGUES.

Half q Hundred Language, Perhaps,
In the Philippines.
The natives of the Philippines are
known to have at least twenty five
languages. and some students Of the
ethnology Of the islands have express
ed the belief that they have more than
double that number of distinct tongues
For purposes Of study they are gener-
ally put in two groups:
First.-The languages Of the Negri-
tos. supposedly descendants Of the alb
original population Of the islands. who
are distributed in scattered tribes i'll
the interior Of the larger islands.
Second.-The languages Of the vari-
GUS Malay tribes which make up the
bulk of the population-Christian. Mo-
hammedan and pagan.
1t cannot be said that the Philippine
languages possess any very consider
able literary value. The old native
manuscripts inscribed on leaves OF
strips Of cane have practically all been
lost. American students Of the islands
have found the scanty native literature
in religious writings. Indifferent poetry
and primitive newspapers. The natives
themselves are profoundly ignorant TO,
the most part as to their own litera'
ture.-New York Times.

REPORT FOR QUARTER
Has Been Filed by County

County. Recorder VIII Robbins has
completed his quarterly report on the
number Of instruments recorded and
the amount Of fees collected in the re-
corder's office. The report covers the
months Of December, January and
February.
The total amount Of fees collected
was @S05.65, which Is about 3125 less
than the amount collected during the
corresponding quarter Of the previous
fiscal year. Recorder Robbins ac-
counts for this fact by the extreme
cold weather this winter. as during
that time very few deals were put
through In this city and consequently
few instruments were recorded. He
says that now his office IL filled with
business and that he and his deputies
are working overtime.
