From the Telegraph Age

IeIeRrapH
The telegraph plant of India has method
all its own for catching the sunshine. Each
of it's leaves is composed of three leaflets.
The larger terminal one erects itself dur
ing the day and turns sharply down at
night, while the other two smaller leaflets
move constantly, day and night. describing
complete circles with peculiar jerking
motion like the second hand of watch.
Occasionally they rest for a period and then
go on again, thus bringing every part or
every leaf to the full action of the sunlight

Be sure to have all promises of God con-

recited. Speak of the commands of God
as being the indication OF His will. the
rules He laid down for our best wav OF
living, and as such to be kept lovingly Inv
us. even though we may consider the old
dispensatfon as past and that We are
now under the law of love. just as the
father and mother teach certain princInles
to their children by means of set com
mands, that when they grow older are no
longer binding because the child has
learned the principle. The law of the Sab
bath has a reason for its existence Even
science has admitted that at last. God
gives no command without its wise reason.

NEW ZEALAND TEAM
HAS NO OPPONENTS

NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.-There is no
chance OF the famous New Zealand foot
ball team being seen in action here,
mainly due TO the lack OF opponents.
The cor dition of the ground, while free
from STOW and in grand shape for
''socker,'' is by no means favorable to
the playing Of rugby. FOR the simple
reason that a fall as a result OF a
lusty tackle is likely 10 be attended by
extreme danger.
But for the fact that the visitors num-
Der only twenty-four, whereas thirty are
required for two teams. they could fur

Central was only too willing 10 run
the Props. as IL had been put into a

10 go against these teams on the ground
that he had stipulated on the entry
blanks that he would run only Prep or
High schools.
Another reason for his not running
in the race which had been scheduled
for his team vas that High school
teams are not allowed TO compete with
athletic clubs. Therefore while 1t was
undoubtedly unfair 10 ask the George
