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

Though generally assumed that oak
Is the wood capab bic 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 Il degree
which no other tree can boast, unrival-
ed as a material of shipbuilding, also
superior in architecture cabinetmak-
ing, carving, mill work, cOoperage and
tnnumerable other purposes, while the
bark is of great value as furnishing
tan and yielding bitter extract in con-
tinual demand for medicinal purposes.
But of uses for the pine details would
be well nigh endless. The timber is i'll
valuable in houses and ship carpentry;
common turpentine is extracted from it
In vast quantities and immense sup
plies of tar. pitch. resin and lampblack.
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-
tutlng as it does the chief material of
English and American builders, may be
said to be more used than all other
kinds of wood put together.

ARRSSTiNG OLD AGE.
Modern Life and the Lengthening
Period of Youth.

1t may seem strange 10 us. though
the fact nevertheless remains, that the
veterans of the grand army of Ma
poleon, weighed down by age and
glory, were men of whom few had
passed their thirty year. 1t was 4
time of rash and short living, with an
early age and no overtures of real
youth-a time when we md Thackeray
ridiculing Du Florac for holding claims
on being still young man at the age
of thirty five! The unmis ia kable tend
ency of our time TO rejuvenate life and
to prOlong or, rather, 10 vanquISh age
is placing its stamp on every event of
individual existence. The average man
today carries the spirit and power of
youth into an age which Il century ago
was regarded as bordering on the
shady side of existence. The buOyanCy
and vigor characteristic of our present
middle aged man make it in most
cases extremely difficult TO approach
any fair degree of accuracy in deter
mining the age of a person passing
along the ascension scale between for
ty and fifty -five. And what is said OF
man refers of course, in equal if not in
still more accentuated degree TO wom-
an. One Of the causes of this remark
able arrest of old age lies undoubtedly
In the increasing Indulgence of our
time in healthy outdoor sports, with
their care free and worry free aban-
don. The occasional freeing of the
mind from the strenuous life" the de-
termination for a longer or shorter
time to force business and routine in
terests to the wall and give up oneself
without scruple or narrow minded con
ventional restraint to the spirit of the
sport. undoubtedly tends to liberate
forces of original pristine strength

EIasticity of Spiders' Webs.

Did you ever watch Il spiders web
on windy day? If so, you will notice
how wonderfully it accommodates
itself to the swaying Of the twigs to
which it is attached. 1t is in fact elias
tic Of the very finest quality. Were il
not for its elasticity the poor spider
would not long survive. The first
breeze would rend the silken meshes
of the web to atoms and the owner $
stock Of new material would very soon
be exhausted in repairs and renewals
Besides its elasticity, the spiders web
is very sticky, property which &C
counts for the ease wherewith it holds
insects when once caught.

Greek Palate TfckIers.

AS delicacies the Greeks ate young
foxes caught in the autumn, robins and
sparrows and certain kinds of fish
shared by moonlight. There is scrap
of an old Greek comedy in which a
cook boasts of frying a fish so exqui-
sitely that it threw him grateful looks
from the pan. A famous Greek dish
was the Trojan pig, half of it boiled
and the other half roasted. 1t was
stuffed with eggs, ortolans and
thrushes. The Romans ate snails--
giant monsters - fattened until their
shells held an incredible amount of
snail. The kettle in a high class Ro-
man kitchen was often shaped like an
elephants head. The water was pour
ed through the trunk. The gridr'on
might be a huge silver spider or a
skeleton fish.

One of the quaintest of the numer-
Gus yearly fetes still in honor at Dun
kirk is the fete of lanterns, instituted
many hundreds of years ago in honor
of ST. Martin, bishop of Tours, who
died in 396, and who was one of the
prelates by whose efforts the early in
habitants of these parts were convert
ed to Christianity. AS soon as dusk
sets in the celebration commences, and
all the urchins of the town congregate
in the main thoroughfares. Each one
bears a paper lantern, some of which
are of considerable proportions, being
shaped in the form of a ship or a
flower. With lanterns in hand and
blowing Justify on horns and trum-
pets, the crowd of youngsters parades
the streets.-London News.
