testifying to the high ability of Mr.. Evans as

comparatively small cost, from a single
room for two divisions, to two distinct

OF instruction have been successfully put in
operation and followed through the higher
grades, greatly to the benefit Of the schools
During his SUPPLEMENTARY the whole
grade of our school work has been better
systematized, the course of study improved
and at the same time shortened We regard

A TREE THAT STINGS.

There has lately been added to the
| collection of plants at the Botanic
Gardens at Madras, India, a speci-
men of q strange tree. 1t is in size
scarcely more than a bush, but other
individuals of its species are known
to have attained, in their habitat in
the Himalayas, Burmah, and the
Malacca Peninsula, the dimensions of
a large tree, from fifty to seventy-five
feet in height. The Madras speci-
men is surrounded by strong railing,
which bears the sign. Dangerous
all persons are forbidden to touch the
leaves or branches of this tree
1t is therefore forbidden tree in
the midst of the garden, but no one is
tempted to touch it, for it is knownto
be burning tree" This name is a
misnomer, for the tree stings rather
than burns. Beneath the leaves there
are stings comparable to those of net
ties, which, when touched, pierce the
skin and secrete fluid which certain
ly has burning effect.
The sting leaves no outward sign,
but the sensation of pain persists
sometimes for months, and is especial
ly keen on damp days, or when the
place which has been wounded is
plunged into water. The natives in
the part of Burmah where this tree
grows are in such terror of it that
they fly in haste when they perceive
the peculiar odor which 1t exhales. If
they happen to touch it they fall on
the ground and roll over and over on
the earth with shrieks, Dogs touch
ed by it yelp and run, biting and
tearing the part of their bodies which
has been touched.
A horse which had come in con-
tact with burning tree ran like a
mad thing, biting everything and
everybody that it could reach. A
missionary at Mandalay, who investi-
gated a leaf of the plant with his fore
finger, suffered agony for several
weeks, and for ten months felt oc-
casional darting pains in his finger.

THE WOOD or THE CROSS

The people of the different countries
have their various traditions concer-
ing the wood of which the cross was
made. In England, the peasants say
that it was of elderwood, and that
lightning never strikes that tree.
Dean French, i'll a note to his Sacred
Latin Poetry declares that it was
made of the wood of the aspen, and
that since the day of the crucifiXion
the leaves of that tree have never
ceased to shudder.

should an agreement between Great
