editorial service, that the sanction of your fast
growing influence may not be given to words with
out wisdom and criticism without discrimination
We know that even proverbs, though they are
"the wisdom of many and the wit of one may
be made to contradict each other, if the true sense
in which they are to be taken is disregarded. 1t
is necessary ''to understand proverb and the in
depreciation thereof" or else we make mess of
it. So please give us in your columns good COM
mon sense maxims, clear of confusion, on this
great work of teaching that the rising generation
may be better instructed than some of us were in
the days that are past. And always give promin-
ence to the distinction between true education,
which "draws OUT the mental faculties, and that
mere instruction which Grams the memory with
facts and dates, and rules and figures, but does SO
little in the way of development. And then stand
by the three Hs-the Head to learn the Hand to
work, and the Heart to love; nay, out of which
care the issues of life. AN OLD TEACHER.

the celebrated banyan tree, covering
from three to four acres of ground, and
30 large that there is said to be &C.

der it. The legend is that it grew out OF
the toothpick of Kabir, whose name it
bears. Most of the foreign travellers
through Guzerat pay visit to the tree,
which is in itself a prodigy of nature
owing to its gigantic proportions and its
antiquity. 1t is species of fig, and, as
writer says, was known to ancient
travellers, and which in the eighteenth
century had already $50 trunks and 5000
secondary branches. Numerous inunda.
tions of the river had worked havoc
with the island and with the renowned
tree. The same writer says that at the
foot of the principal trunk there is llt
tie cavity (the writer, however, could
not see it for himself during his late re-
cent visit to the sacred tree), in which
are arranged some stones of Phallic form
beside an architectural fragment ofrude1

ra-butter6ies and moths-should be
pinned through the thorax; coleoptera
the beetle tribe-should have the pin
inserted through the right wing cover.
Aet the pin project about one.fourth its
lenth above the insect. Many insects
will need to have the wings expanded
and kept in place till dried, in setting
box. TO do this, use a small, straight
awl set in handle to manipulate the
wings, autcnne and legs, and keep the
same in place by pins and pieces of card
board. The small! insects will dry
sufficiently to remove to the cabinet in
two or three days; the larger moths will
require week to dry. Place in the
boxes or drawers pieces of camphor
wrapped in paper to prevent the ravages
