Of II Sunday-sChoOl lad who was asked
why the lions didn't eat Daniel. His

Living a Century.

There is a certain fascination about
living century (a fascination that
easily leads to falsification). The glory
of the achievement sheds luster on the
remotest connections. so that there is
always someone to boast of the feat
and 1t is one of the few ways in which
any old person who can last out may
bring fame to posterity.
'1t amt s. much at she died, doc
sobbed one old man at his mothers
bedside. "She was old an didn't know
nothin' no more, an she had to go
sometime. But jes' to think, five weeks
more would ha' made her n hundred
Ciost as that, an then to have all
them years o. care go for nothin' -
Absurd, of course! As n matter of
fact, there is no special reason for
setting up the century post as n goal

out In his famous "Report on National

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 symbolic brutality and
vice. But the romance of the famous
screen in the throneroom of the sui.
tan's palace is worth repeating.
1t is made, so rumor hath 1t, of hu.
man skin, perfectly tanned and elabo.
rately fooled and embossed, and it has
been in the royal quarters for more
than two centuries. This remarkable
screen is not an evidence of cruelty
or barbarity on the part of Turkeys
ruler two hundred years ago, but is a
memorial to twelve faithful servants OF
Il former sultan.
At one time during a sultan's reign
two hundred years ago, a wing of the
palace caught fire. and during the con.
hagration much-loved member of the
sultan's family was rescued by twelve
servants. The twelve servants per.
ished, some of them dying later OF
their wounds and burns, so his mai
esty had their skins removed by an
expert and had them preserved in. this
touching though remarkable manner
The screen is now looked upon as q
part of the rulers. inheritance, and II
is said that every sultan cherishes II

RESPONSIBILITY is ON FATHER
Travelling Along Wrong Road When He
Finds Himself Too Busy to Talk
With His Boy.

The father and son movement Is one
of the best and most sensible things
we have heard of for a long time. That
is because 1t proposes to accomplish
results through using natural human
instincts naturally. 1t appeals to the
deepest of human feelings-lOve. 1t
goes about to remind fathers of some
thing they may have forgotten and to
tell boys something they may not have
known. You can get at this better If
you sit down and talk confidentially
with some other fathers boy. He will
tell you things your own boy cannot.
In his wistful earnestness, you will
discover that there are times when a
boy has n real matter of grave i'm
pOrtance to him that finds his father
you stop and think as you realize that
this little fellow couldn't come to any
other conclusion than that his dad was
Indifferent. Fathers know better ia
theirs remember pretty well when they
were boys, but they don't remember
just how sensitive boy is to the
worst Of rebuffs, that of being thought
silly. Now. the boys need to be told
this about their fathers, that they are
not Indifferent. But after all the big
gest thing is to tell fathers, for 1t is
their business to understand and theirs
is the responsibility.-Mil Jour

Felt Sorry for the Books.

My nephew. Clifford. aged five. was
calling on his aunt and was left to
amuse himself in the library while the
women of the family amused them
selves in another part of the house.
After an hour. in which no sound was
heard from the little boy. the women
realized he must be up to mischief.
They hurried to the library, and what
II sight met their gaze.
Clifford had painstakingly removed
every book from the cases and laid II
ON the floor. After one glance at the
confusion, his aunt said: "What did
you do 1t for?" ''Poor books, ESQ tired

HAS HAD VARYING MEANINGS
Term Casualty" Not Always En-
pIoyed In the Way In Which II
Is Used Today.

When did the word Casualty" first
assume the modern specialized mean
!ng with which we are unfortunately
so familiar? think it must have been
at the time of the Crimean war; for
In the latest volume of Dsraeli's S
Life / have come across the following
passage, dated September 2, 1855 !:
Lady Londonderry is in despair about
her son, who Is now in the trenches.
Casualties, she says, and truly.
what horrible word to describe the
loss of limb and life!" The under
lining and the comment seem to show
that Disraeli, one of the greatest mas
ters of words, found its use unusual.
Murray's dictionary does not give
much assistance on the point, for all
It's quotations-such as one from the
duke Of WellingtOn's dispatches In
1910. "the casualties of the service
do not necessarily imply anything ex-
cept loss by unavoidable accidents. My
suggestion, however, is borne out by
the following from Stockqueler's Mill
tary Encyclopedia" published In 1853.
which says: "Casuals or casualties, a
term signifying men that are dead
(since first enlisted) or have been dis
charged. or have deserted"-in other
words, total losses. No mention is
made, 1t should be noted of the appli
cation of the word to temporary losses
caused by wounds. 1t was Lady Lon
donderrys use of 1t in this sense, per-
haps, which Disraeli found strange

L,nv lnAi YIELDS BUTlEr..
Natives Of Island Of Trinidad Are Not
Forced to Rely on Either the
Cow or the Goat.

Cows are rarities in Trinidad, SO
when natives of this island want but
ter for their bread they are compelled
to seek a substitute. Fortunately for
them there is another possibility close
at hand; not in churned mares or
goats milk, as one might suppose. but
in the pure fat Of tIfe guacharO.
This strange bird, which makes its
habitat in the darkest recesses of
caves, is rarely seen abroad in day
light. Like our owl and whippoorwill,
it seeks its food only after sundown.
Th. fiedglings of the guacharo are
the sources of Trinidad's "butter." !"
They are plump little chicks, and are
almost pure fat-the natives call them
"oil-birds." They are taken from the
nests when they are three or four
weeks old, killed. and boiled"
No water is added in this odd boil
ing" because of the enormous amounts
of soft grease the fiedglings exude in
the slightest heat. AS the process
goes on and the fat is extracted, little
remains of the fledglings but feathers
and feet. The heavy grease so OBJ
tained is very satisfying to the native
appetite.
Considerable difficulty is encount
cred in getting to the nests, although
their positions 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.
monty carried in the search for nests
containing the young.
