A Good Word For Caviar,

flesh of fish by containing a much

fat contains the peculiar oily phosphor'

is a stimulant to metabolism. affecting
favorably the processes of nutrition

Sun and Fire Symbols.

There are to be found occasionally
upon the walls of old brick houses. at
about the line Of division between the
first and second stories, fat pieces of
iron five or six inches in length and
shaped somewhat like the letter IS.
The use OF these articles was clearly
brought from England. where it Is still
continued, and there are curious orr
gin and meaning attached to them. The
figure in question Is an early symbol
of the sun. 1t is still used in Here
Yorkshire and other parts of England.
There one is informed that the reason
for the particular form of these irons
is that they were made thus in order
to protect the house from fire as well
q from collapse.-Harper's.

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,

original population OF the islands, who
are distributed in scattered tribes in
the interior of the larger islands
Second.-The languages of the vari-
Gus Malay tribes which make up the
bulk OF the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, 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 or
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 for
the most part as to their own litera-
ture.-New York Times.
