TAKE N TRIP IN YOUR OWN
WORLD


One of the hardest things to under
stand il why men VINO have made a
generous success do not deliberately
paeE up their duds ana travel, travel,
travel.
There II Edison. He has made ill
kinds of money and a undying rep
ut1tIon. I1e has vivid imagination
Why isn't he lured to the ends Of the
earth wv see the wonderful things that
God and man have made? He is bis
own master. He need but say the
word and he could have years of the
most glorious travel into every nook
ahl corner vi the earth.
The reason he doesn't go, and per
haps never thinks about lit, is simple
enough. He has world of his own
right within his laboratory, full OF in
finite variety, ever yielding the most
through with unfathomable mysteries,
manifesting marvellous complexity,
full Of hidden danger, and ineXhausti-
BILE in every direction. Why should he
70 gallivanting around the world when
he can stay right at home and give
himself all the thrills and sensations
that come to the most enthusiastic
globa-trotter?
OF course H. observes an entirely
different range Of facts, but precisely
The same faculties are brought into
play with the same degree Of tension;
and then, besides all the fun of it, he
has something to show for his time
and energy, something that benefits
himself and the world still more, for
he can be more than an observer In
his world-he can take a master hand
ia manipulating its affairs.
Now, in a measure, that il true of
every man who is intensely occupied
with some all-absorbing task. IA man
with his business, minister with his
church, an editor with his paper, a
social worker with his slum district,
ally OnG WHO lldS d LdSh MUEIu uOlnS
and is putting bis whole life into it
understands, in some degree at least,
why busy men are not drawn away
from their work by that wanderlust
which il ineradicable in all aggressive
and enterprising spirits.
There's the Law Or compensation do

A Kings 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 GOV eted treasure and was nearly run over by a 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.
 One of the most extraordinary and fantastic Christian places of worship in 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 a throne-Iyan the Terrible, czar of Muscovy.
 The architecture is in every respect extravagant and barbaric. and the col bring Is garish in the estrQ,ne. It has nine chapels, roofed by nine cupolas, each different and each stranger than the other. One resembles pineapple, another a 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 1t is a nightmare of church, the fitting legacy of ruler who grilleG his counselors in frying pans and clothed his subjects in bearskins iE order that trained dogs might worr. and tear them to pieces.-Strand Maga- zine

 The speaker stated that when you advertise you want to reach the peo- pile, all the people, the oldest inhabi- tart, the man who moved to town yesterday, the young couple just married, the young man or woman who just earneh the first dollar and is itching to spend it; you want them all, the rich, the poor, from the ere dle to the grave, and the only ad vertising medium that reaches them all, all the time is the daily news paper.

Making a Major.

John Esten Cooke. who went 1nto tue war as an enlisted man in Rich mond battery, was soon afterWard eQ pointed an officer on the staff of Gen. eral J. E. B. Stuart. On Stuart's staff, MT. George Cary Eggleston says in "Recollections of Varied Life," he distinguished himself by a certain laughing honchalance under fire and by his eager readiness to undertake Stuart's most periluus missions.
 1t was in recognition of some spe- cially daring service of that kind that Stuart gave him his promotion. The delightful way in which the great boy tsh southerner did it is best told in Mir. Eggleston's own words.
 You're about my size. Cooke" Stu art said, but you're not so broad in the chest"
 ''Ycs, am." answered Cooke.
 Let's see if you are," said Stuart. taking off his coat as if for boxing match '.Try that on"
 Cooke donned the coat with its three stars on the collar and found it fit.
 Cut off two of the stars" Stuart commanded, and wear the coat to Richmond. Tell the people in the war department 10 make you major and send you back to me in a hurry. ru ..eed you tomorrow"
