OAK AND PINE.
The Value and Usefulness of These
Classes of Woods.

The Value and Usefulness of These
Classes of Woods.
Though generally assumed that oak
Is the wood capable of being put to the
greatest variety of uses, it is known, as
a matter of fact, that the pine is really
the most used, ON account of its great
abundance. Nevertheless, the timber OF
the oak combines in itself the essential
elements of strength and durability
hardness and elasticity in a degree
which no other tree can boast, unrival-
ed as u material of shipbuilding also
superior in architecture, cablnetmak-
ing carving. mill work, cooperage and
innumerable other purposes, while the
bark is of great value rs furnishing
tan and yielding bitter extract in con
t.nual demand for medicinal purposes.
1t of Uses for the pine details would
be well nigh endless. The timber is in
valuable in houses and ship carpentry; !;
common turpentine is extracted from ii
In vast quantities and immense sup
plies of tar, pitch. resin and lampblaek
In the manufacture of matches, and,
above all. paper pulp. thousands and
tens of thousands of acres of pine for
ests are cut down every year, and,
briefly, the timber of this tree, consti-
tuting as 1t does the chief material Of
English and American builders, may be
said TO be more used than all other
kinds of wood put together.

THE BLUEBEARD STORY.
1t Has Mythical Rather Than a
Psychological Origin.


The fascinating story of Bluebeard
has a my thieal rather than mytho-
logical origin No one has found his
prototype in the Nedas or in the old
Greek or Roman authors The story
is supposed to be of French origin,
and it has even been suggested that
Bluebeard was no other than the much
married Henry VIII. There is, how
aver, better reason for believing that
the original was Giles de Laval, lord
Of Riaz, who was marshal of France
early In the fifteenth century. He was
O brave soldier whose exploits in the
wars between England and France are
recorded in history. According to
Mizeray, he murdered his wives as
soon as he tired of them, and was him
self eventually strangled in 1440.
The story of Laval has, however, not
many points of resemblance, for there
Is no mention Of key, and Giles de
Laval, moreover. used to entice per.
SONS Of both sexes to his castle for the
sake OF their blood, which he wanted
for certain incantations he indulged in.
Nor, indeed, does the story fit in with
our own Henry VIII, and we are left
to believe that, whatever the origin,
the key and Sister Ann We're added for
the sake of effect. A variant of the
story OF Giles de Laval is told by Hol-
inshed, In whose version the name is
Giles de Retz, Marquis de Laval, who
lived i'll Brittany, and was strangled
and burned for the murder of his seven
wives. DIR. c. Taylor, it may be added,
regarded the story simply us fiction,
satire ON or type of the castle lords Of
the days of knight errantry. London

FIRST SOCIETY NEWSPAPER
Scandal Distributor Was a French
Woman in High Ranks-Wrote
Woe of Others and Sold It.

In these days of many French
society papers it is interesting to
recall the genesis of the first one
OF the race which was produced in
France in the beginning of the
eighteenth century,
1t was called NouveHes a la Main
or Hand to Hand News in those
days and the inventor was a lady
named Nine. Doublet. Nine.
DOublet received all the best SO.
ciety Of Paris and both she and
her guests loved scandal. To ca
ter to their taste a book was kept
into which every visitor wrote
what he or she had picked up in the
way Of news and gossip since his
or her last visit and these news
items were afterward copied on
sheets Of white paper and taken
round to the houses of those Of
Nine. Doublet's friends who had
notcalled that day. Eventually the
thing developed into a commercial
enterprise and the Hand to Hand
News was sold to all who wanted
It for six francs monthly or a
pound a year. But a pound in
those days was, it must be remem-
bered, worth a good deal more
than 1t is now.
In 1858, when Nine. Doublet
was quite an old lady, an attempt
was made to stop the circulation
of her Nouyelles a la Main. But
they had gained so great a hold
upon the public taste that the DO.
lice were powerless to do SO.
