habitat In the darkest receeees of
caves, la rarely seen abroad In day-

It seeks its food only after sundown.
Th * fledgling* of the guaebaro are
the HourceH of Trinidad’s "butter."
They are plump little chicks, and are
almost pure fat—the natives call theta
"olMjIrfli.” They are taken from the
neats when they are three ,or four
weeks old, killed, and "imiled."

of soft grease the fledglings exude In

goes on and the fat is extracted, little
remains of the fledglings but feathers
and feet. The heavy grease mo ob-
tained la very satisfying to the native
appetite.
Considerable difficulty is encount-
ered In getting to the nests, although
their iKisJtlong are well known to the
natives. Oftentimes stagnant, or even
flowing water, Is In the bottom of the
cavern, and the footing is treacherous
and faulty. Wooden torches are com-
monly carried In the search for nests
containing the young.

FASHIONED OF HUMAN SKIN
Most Remarkable Screen in the World
Is That Owned by the Sultan
; of Turkey.
There are many priceless relics In
the menage of the sultan of Turkey,
most of which symbolise brutality and
vice. But the romance of the fAroous
screen In the throneroom of the sul-
tan's pulace ls worth repeating.
It Is made, so rumor hath It, of hu-
iqan skin, perfectly tanned and elabo-
rately tooled and embossed, and it baa
been In the royal quarters for mol*'
than two centuries. This remarkable
screen is not an evidence of cruelty
or barbarity on the part of Turkey's
ruler two hundred years ago. but Is a
memorial to twelve faithful servants of
a former sultan.
At one time during a sultan's reign
two hundred years ago, a wing of the
palace caught Are, and durlhg the con-
flagration a much-loved member of tbs
sultan's family was rescued by twelve
servants. The twelve servants per-
ished, some of tbeap uying later of
their wounds and burns, so his maj-
esty had their aklus removed by an
expert and had them preserved in this
touching though remarkable manner.
The screen is now looked uppll as a
part of the ruler’s Inheritance, find it
Is said that every saltan cherishes it
as a mascot.

Living • Century.
There Is a certain fascination about,
living a century (a fascination that
easily lends to falsification). The glory
of the achievement shednriuster on the
remotest connections, so that there IS
always someone to boast of the feat,
and It Is one of the few ways In which
any old person w'bo can last out may
bring fame to posterity.
“ft ain’t s’ much ’at sh« died, doc,”
sobbed one old man at his mother’s
bedside. “She wss old an’ dldq’t know
nothin’ no more, an’ she had to go
sometime. But Jes’ to think, five weeks
more would ha* made her a hundred!
Clos’t ns that, on' then to hnve nil
them years o’ care go for nothin'!”
Absurd, of course! As a matter of
fact, there Is no special reason for
setting up the century post as u goal.
Ah I’rof. Irving Fisher has pointed
nut In his famous “Report on Nutinnnl
Vitality," the most Important dimen-
sion of life is not length, hut breadth.
There is little gain in the burdenmmie
dragging of a life that Ik already spent.
—Charles Henry Lerrlgo, M. IX, iu

YOUR DUTY
It is the duty of every Christian man, woman,
or child to spread the teachings of the Bible. The .
Sunday School does that work. There is no man-
ner in which the Holy Bible or the teachings of
Jesus can be better placed before people that the
Sabbath School.
-* The Sabbath School is what you, as an individ-
ual, make it. Your duty demands that you make
it better with your presence and with th* pres-
ence of some one for whose religious welfare you
are responsible. It is your duty to yourbelf, your
church and to God to enroll every man, woman
and child in Sunday School.
