WISDOM OF THE wOoDPECKER
How He Makes Sure of a Steady Supply
of Fresh Meat.

Let us pause moment, as we DR.

of the high cost of living, the total de-
pravity of trusts and the all-round cuS,-

The wOodpecker, for real, practice

is able to see far beyond the end of hi,

while they wait. When autumn leaves
begin to fall and hints of frost are in the
atmosphere, the woodpecker puts in his

A kinq's Hobby,

The late king of Siam had an extraor- dinary hobby-that of collecting empty matchboxes of all nations. In this connection an interesting story is re- lated. During one of his visits to Eng land the king while passing down Bond street one afternoon, accompanied by two members of his suit. espied an empty matchbox which had been dis carded by its owner and thrown away into the middle of the thoroughfare. Without a moments thought the mon- arch dashed into the middle of the crowded traffic, grasped the much cov- eted treasure and was nearly run over by passing cab. The fact. however, that he was able to add new speci- men to his collection gathered under such circumstances more than com pensated him for the risk which he had run.-London News

MOSCOW CATHEDRAL.
Fantastic Looking Edifice Erected by
 Ivan the Terrible.

Ivan the Terrible.
 One of the most extraordinary and fantastic Christian places of worship ia the world is the Cathedral of Mos- COW, known as Vasili Blajenni, strange not only in outline and conception, but even stranger in its history. No one knows the architects name, but the story goes that the czar ordered his eyes to be put out directly the church was completed, so that he should nev- CT be able to surpass his work. The idea of the building was inspired by the wickedest and maddest monarch who ever sat on throne-Ivan the Terrible. czar of Muscovy.
 The architecture is in every respect extravagant and barbaric. and the col bring is garish in the extreme. It has nine chapels, roofed by nine cupolas, each different and each stranger than the other. One resembles a pineapple, another melon, third is said to ape a hedgehog in it's appearance, and the rest are more or less grotesque. Some are gilt; others are painted in brilliant hues. Indeed. the only description is that it is a nightmare of a church, the fitting legacy of a ruler who grilled his counselors in frying pans and clothed his subjects in bearskins in order that trained dogs might worry and tear them to pieces.-Strand Maga- gina
