„„SOME INDIAN TREES.
THEIR MANY ECONOMIC USES AND THE SACRED CHARACTER OF SOME.
A newcomer to India was once advised by an old resident to "get up the trees. This advice did not apply, as the recipient of it at first not unnaturally supposed, to an innocent and inexpensive form of athletic exercise, nor to the adoption of the habits of the savago. tribes known as tree dwellers, but simply to. the advimbility of learning the names of the common trees of the country and of ac- quiring the power of recognizing them, whos
soen.
For one thing, it is bý`tress that traval- lers off the beaten track ate expected to find their way. As fudlan villager, be he ever u ignorant in other respects, is as familiar with, the trees in his neighbourhood an' London policeman is with the streets on bis beat. Instead of being told to take "three to the. right, and two to the left," you are directed to make straight for a, big banyan whose crest is to be discemed on the horizon. Pass to the east of it and you will come to. three palm trees; keep them on your right hand and pass between.a tamarind and a mango, and you will hit upon a path that will take you straight to the village you are searching for. So famillar are the people with the tree that the writer has met a villager who, after he became blind, could identify any tres by fidgeting it" leaves.
Then the economic importance of trees can only be realized by those who have lived among the villagers. The food supplied are not by any means limited to the fruits of com. merce, and flowers, leaves, twigs and roots are largely used as well. The leaves of certain trees, pinned together by twigs, sorve as plates, or are fashioned into drinking cups. A great many domestic remedies. for man and beast, are also derived from the forest, and there is no doubt that some of them are efficacious. It is not very long since some of the hill and jungle tribes of India, like our first parents, clothed themselves with leaves, and it is said that it required a military expedition to induce some of the women in Orissa to discard this primitive dress in favour of cotton varies. A man will often make his house entirely from trees, plastered with a little mud, the roof being. constructed of Palmyra palm leaves or others of a large size and firm texture. Dyes, tans, ink, books, stines, waterproof capes, gum, seal,
Special attention given to effectively displaying wax, rupes-these are but a very few of the miscellaneour articles that are got from trees. ing a Ivertisements.
No wonder the planting of a grove of trees ranks with digging a tank or sinking a well as in work of religious merit. If we were to include the bamboo and similar plants the Hut of manu. factured articles would be endless; but the bamboo is a grass and not free. Even to mention the common trees of India would be a lengthy task, so we confine ourselves to the most familiar, Nearly all that are about 'to be mentioned are found either within the writer's compound or in its immediate neigbourhood,
First come the fig tribe; the banyan and his brothers. The ban an, the big brother of the family, in our very own-Ficus bengalensis, That true tree lover Over Wendell Holmes wrote that his tree wives were more' numerous Iban Brigham Young's human ones. The ring with which he wedded them was a thirty foot measuring tape; with which he encircled ther nt the height of five feet above the ground. His first class trees were those whose branches at their widest circumference were more than a hundred feet. His favourites were elms; and he made some remarks about cherishing the hope of still having pleasure at the 'elm, even when youth was no longer on the prow. If merit goes by bulk no doubt the banyan come fire, and a circumference of twenty feet round the trunk could hardly be regarded as a mark of distinction in it. But it is often a parasite, a vampire, sucking the life blood of ita victim and crushing it to death, its fruit in unten by the very poor, elephants greatly relish its tra
