What is more important
than the roof of your home?
Since man first built hcwses to shelter
him and his loved ones, the *'ro<tf tree".
has symbolized home comfort, home
beauty and home strength.
Remember the word "roof-
tree.*' It shows how dosdy our
ancestors connected their protection
from wind and weather to the.stQtm-
d^ying qualities at the trees dE the
forest.

Coriett In the Loa Angeles TimeSr -
‘ At sunset mie may see the regular
fCHrmatlons of flamingoes, like a rosy
dond, heading for tlie mainland of
Venezuela. Along the shore the peli
cans are numerous—dumsy and of
dull plumage, that sail all day up and
down the margin of the shore watch
ing for fish. They drop down with tre
mendous velocity, and <n>ening wide
their great bills sweep the fish into
the pouch whicli acts as a sein. Then
they raise their heads from the sea
so that the water may drain, frmn the
pouch and leave the fish in the prefer
position for swallowing. The little
gulls perch on their heads awaiting for .
any chance bits tliat may fall from
an , over-full pouch. * "
In the dark mangrove swamps one
sees the gray heron, white egrets, bit
tern and coot. Tlie gorgeous macaw
in his blue and yellow w: red and-tfreen
livery is only a rare visitor from the
mainland, but tliere are flocks of greea
parrots and noisy parrakeets in ev
ery forest glatle.. Toucans, glossy
black, with long-curved bills and yel
low crests, clatter from the tree tops,'
and woodpeckers, red and green, wake-
the forest silences with their ceaseless
work. In the dark bamboo glades may
be seen tlie shy “king <rf the forest,”
with his cap of peacock sb^n, russet-
red breast and l<mg racquet tall. With
him will be the iridescent bronzed bee-
eater, floating in the sun as he darts
after the insect prey, and the golden
orioles build their long hanging nests
of woven grass from the moss-hung
branches of the zamman trees.
There are not many songsters, save
a mocking bird, the black and yellow
'*touch-yah” and some of the tiny sugar
and grass birds. And lastly tiiere is
wliat is perhaps the most attractive
of all—the bluebird—the bird of happi
ness. Cobalt Is his head and back,
soft gray-blue his-breast, and ho feasts
on the ripest fruits or hops unafraid
and into the house after stray iieetles.
Tobago should adopt the bluebird as
its crest, for In the faces of the peo
ple shine tlie gift of happiness, wheth
er It be in the bronzed features of the
white nlanters who have elected to lead
the simple life on this Uttio i<;]r.nd,
or whether it be on tho sliluM-t, bl.nc k
faces of the negroes. As Tobaso was
a British possession when Trinidad
was still Spanisli, there are hardly
any French or Spanish creoles, and
most of the estates belong to the de
scendants of (^d Scotch families.
Appeals to Adventurous.
Though some of those who know
the polar regions develop a kiud of
love for them, the experience of two
British explorers who spent a year on
an Antarctic island with no shelter
but an overturned boat must have been
a severe f&st of wliatever affection
they may have had for those latitudes.
W.‘Bagshawe, peolojiist, and Lieu
tenant C. Lester, navigating officer,
had provisions, dogs nnd scientific in
struments to keep them company when
their companions Failed north, leaving
the two to make observations. The re
turn expedition fell into financial' dif
ficulties and sont a rescue ship bade
only in the nick of time. Besides a
scientific Interest, ventures Into the
far north and the far south probably
are actuated by wiiat one may call a
sportln^r impulse. With them it is a
game. They return a^^ain .and again,
and with success comcs a genuine lik
ing for the icy seifs and archipelagoes,
such as led Stefansson to call the
northern polar region “the friendly
arctic.”—New York Sun.
Irish **0” Not an Abbrevlatlonk
That the apostrophe, like the hy
phen, Is a recent intrusion is the state
ment of Francis o Sullivan tlghe (sic),
author of the Irish romance, “The
Portion of a Champion.” “The *o,’ ” he
saj's, “Is not a contraction of ‘of.* as
popularly supposed. It is a ccmtraction
of the Irish ‘ua’ meaning ‘the de
scendant of.’ Also the *o' should not
be capitalized except when the Chris
tian name is omitted.”
The word “tighe,” following the au
thor’s name, signifies “of the house,”
and it is the traditional designation of
his family as distinguished from others
of the O Sullivan clan. In private life
the author is just plain Sullivan, but
he thinks that to print It so on .iie
title page of his Fifth century ro
mance Would be anachronism.
