OAK AND PINE.

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 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
innumerable 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-
tuting 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.

"A hat? Why, you're all tired out

II know it, and that is the very
reason. When you start out well
brushed and fresh almost any hat will

TOGO NEAR TO SUICIDE

Rather than obey Emperor Against
His Judgment, He Would Die.
It seems that there was decided dif-
ference Of opinion among the military
and naval authorities at Toxic as TO
the intentions Of Admiral Rojestvensky,
who came out from Cronstadt with
the great fleet Of Russian ships. MOST
Of them believed that he had 1nstruc-
lions to attack the southern coast OF
Japan and divert attention from the
struggle in Manchuria and the siege OF
Port Arthur They were convinced that
he would attack Kobe and Yokohama
and other ports and try to reach Toxic.
If he failed there they expected MIN
to sail up the eastern coast and at
tack Hakodate. At any rate, they were
absolutely certain that he would not
run the risk of almost certain destruc-
ton by entering the China sea or try
to pass through the straits between ia
pan and Korea, where Togo lay In con-
cealment waiting to pounce upon him.
This conviction was so positive that
the council Of war at Toxic, winch was
composed of cabinet ministers, veteran
generals and admirals, and that nOta-
BILE group known as 'the older states
men," ordered Togo to come out Of his
lair and patrol the southern coast, so as
to be near by when the attack came.
Togo demonstrated. He was convinced
that Rojestvensky had come from the
west to vindicate the Russian navy and
not to invade fortified coast. His ar
guments were earnest, but they had no
weight with the Toxic authorities, and
he was again ordered to come down to
defend the coast. To their amazement
he refused to obey, and they finally
appealed to the Emperor. who, at their
solicitation, repeated the order.
1t is a tradition in Japan that no
man ever disobeyed an order Of the
Emperor. who is descended from the
