THE NEW CATHEDRAL.
STEP IN IT'S PROGRESS TOWARD COM
PLETION.

SERVICES HELD IN THE CRYPT LAST SUNDAY
FOR THE FIRST TIME-THE TIFFANY CHAPEL
AND THE BARBERINI TAPESTRIES.
The Cathedral of st. John the Divine made
another step IN its progress toward completion
last Sunday. when services were held for the
first time in part Of the structure. Ever
since the cornerstone was laid, in December.
1892, the people who have taken an interest
in the great work have looked forward to the
occasion with pleasure. and still the arrange
ments for the initial service were made with so
little demonstration that the attendance was
comparatively small. The trustees OF the Ca
thedral believed that il it were generally known
that a certain day the place Of worship
would be removed from the Asylum Chapel.

eIRpS AND ANIMALS.

The ostrich is most voracious bird
and will consume great quantity OF
food, but it must be good. On rare oc-
casions a keeper has seen one swallow
lighted cigar, q gimlet, lady's purse,
society paper rolled up and ready for
mailing and an old shoe. BE had been
noticing this bird for some months and
the attendant had also been watching
him; no doubt several other objection
able things had been swallowed unknown
to any, but the keeper could not stand
the society paper, and on the trst op-
portunity sold him to circus company.
Curiously enough the birds name was
Beau Brummel.
One cannot avoid a feeling Of sym

and to the parishioners, until the wears
son found a means Of exterminating
them. Observing their habits with care
worthy Of better cause, he noticed that
they, after flying round and round the
church and then making dive, squeezed
themselves through cleft at the top Of
the west door, Thereupon the ingenious
youth made unto himself circular net,

and it IL the fact that they are trouble

entangled in lady's hair. But they
are harmless, and, since they are insec-
tivorous, useful.
"Miss Maja" is the name of most
popular monkey at the geological gardens

Of her popularity is that she is perfect
cyclist. She possesses beautiful little
bicycle and she has learned to ride it
simply by being made to watch people
cycling. She jumps into the saddle with
out touching the pedals, kisses her hand
to the spectators while awaiting the sig

mendous pace. From her machine she
jumps on to trapeze and back again
to it before It can fall, and when she
has shown off all her arts she claps her
hands to start the applause of the peo-
pie. Then she acknowledges their ex-
pressions Of approval by bowling prettily
with her hand to her heart. If money
is bestowed on her she runs to her attend

QUEER FOODS.

Greenlanders eat seals most of the
time. The ancient Germans subsisted
on wild apples, meat and cheese.
When the Indians of California were
very hungry they ate dog, grasshoppers
and acorns. The badger is favorite
Indian dish.
Two hundred years ago the Irish made
salads of sorrel and beet, mixed with
vinegar, beer and sugar, using no oil,
salt or mustard.
The human race has at times deyoured
remarkable things. The Tartars, it is
said, ate horses, calems, dogs. In China,
birds nests, rats and snails are CON
sidered good food.
Some Of the old Egyptians were fond
Of crocodile steak. They thought wheat
and barley poor stuff. The Egyptians.
moreover, never ate beans or the head
Of any animal. Honey and raisins thew
loved and also liked fish, quail and duck.
To the Jews are we indebted for. our
delicious salad dressing of ell, vinegar,
salt, pepper and mustard. At the pass
over they ate bitter herbs, such as wild
lettuce, tansy, camomile and dandelion,
and invented the dressing to make the
dish palatable.
