TWO CLASSES OF OAKS,

One Notable For It's Wood, the Other
For Its Brilliancy OF Colofing.
The great oak family might be divid-
ed into two claSses-those that ripen
their acorns in one season. such as the
white. post and messy cup oaks, and
those which require two full years,
such as the red, scarlet and black oaks.
To the first class belong the chestnut
oak and the live oak Of the south. This
latter tree for generations played an
important part in shipbuilding, but has
now been superseded BY iron and steel.
The leaf, which is an evergreen, is en-
tirely without fluctuations and is thick
and leathery. The wood is very heavy
and strong. has a beautiful grain and
is susceptible of taking a high polish.
At one time this wood was SO valuable
that our government paid 500. 600 for
large tracts Of land in the south, that
our navy might be sure Of a supply of
live oak timber
To the second class of oaks we are
largely indebted for the gorgeous col
ors Of our autumn leaves. The red.
scarlet and pin oaks. with their bril-
liant reds. scarlets and browns, are
close competitors with the maple in
giving our American landscapes the
most wonderful autumn colorings to be
found anywhere in the world. These
three trees have leaves which at first
glance are quite similar. but by care
full examination may always be dis
tinguished.-St. Nicholas.

ulators sold them short. At one time
more tulips were sold than existed. At
Lille a brewer sold his trade and good
will in exchange for a bulb, which was
thereafter known as the brewery tulip.
In Amsterdam father gave one by
way Of dover with his child. There
after the variety was known as the
marriage of my-daughter. At Rotter-
dam a hungry sailor, happening on a
few, mistook them for onions and
ate them. The repast became as ia

ably exceeded it in cost. At The Hague
poor fellow managed to raise a black
tulip. The rumor Of that vegetable
marvel spread. Presently he was visit

For that eve lamb of his the deputa-

Still he refused. Cascades of gold

Finally, tormented and tempted, he
