Poison ivy (Rhus toxleodendron) Is also known as three-leaved ivy. and in some locations as poison oak. In growth it much resembles the harm less Virginia creeper, or American ivy (Ampelopsis quinquefolia). To avoid mistaking one fpr.the other. remembcr that the poison ivy has but three leaf lets on a stem, wh'de the Virginia creeper has five. Children distnglisa them as "three-leaved ivy" and "five leaved ivy." The poison ivy bears clusters of small smooth berries, that are greenish white when ripe. Reward for Inventive Mind.

Dr.lHumpst<ne said: i: w- the second decisive day in the li of Simon Peter-a d(Ia o atiny. Monthrs ago in Judea he had foi0ow(d iis brother into the nresence of .1esv: for the ilrst time he then saw and heard the M' sidh. With Peter, to see and hoar was in stantly to decide. He became a di cip:e, forthwith. In the interval.

No largard, half-hearted disei ile would Peter be, we are sure. His zeal an. =4+husiasn would lead him rather to overwork the role of advocate: to nree men with heat and energy to accept the Messiahship . of .Jesus. even before they were ready. There is at unwritten chanter of Peter's life as only a disciple. which would be well worth the reading. if we had it. After its perusal we should be less disposed than now we are to think that usefulness in Christ's service is necess:rily connected with ordination thereto as an exclusive calling. There could hard;y be a more effective showing of what a mere disciple can do for his Master and his fel low men than this lost leaf of Peter's bio graphy would furnish. If this were not the case you may be sure Jesus never would have called Peter th;s day to the continuous opportunities of the ininistry; nor. later, to the weightier responsibilities of the apostoiate. For an incipient erisis had been precini tated in the career of Jesus as Messiah. His rejection at Nazareth was the c'ond. no higger than a man's hand. thai. neverthe less. portended the final distant storm burst of hate unto death. irv:- which there would be no escape for Him. Re jetted h' "His own" after the flesh. its was tine He was gathering "His own" after the spirit and preparing them to he His nerpetuators and internreters. So He left Nazareth to take up His residence at Ca pernaun. that He misht be near the most nrominent and promisin'; of the groan of His early disciples. What though these were only a quartet of fishermen! ' The Lord saw not as rien-saw. but with the in sight of one who "knew what was in man. and needed not that any should testify of man." He knew the time had row come to senarate unto Himself and the service of His kingdom the founders of His church. His eye saw every nrecious possibility in their nature. He discriminated them one from another. appreciating the individual it of each, and yet diseerning their corn nlimental temperaments and ouanlifi cations. With Him to feel was to act: when His "hour" had come He never deferred. In the early mornine. therefore. 'Pe be took Himself to the lake's shore. !ret He found the multitudes already iuti-. The peonle were abroad, as the manner is in the East. with the break of day: taking the air, basting on their errands. following each his beat. But soon Jesus became the centre of their interest and attention. The fame of Him was already everywhere. To see Him was to wish to hear Him. with an eagerness that would not he refused. Ac companied by a continually enlarging rowd He reached the p'i.ee where the men He sought were washing and mending their nets after a night of'unrewarded toil on the lake. The boats were drawn up on the beach, in the midst. Entering the one that belonged to Simon Peter, Hie asked him to "thrust out a little from the land" that He might use the boat for a nualpit, from wh' h to address the crowd. It was to Peter He turned His first thought when He set about the business of seleatin:t His future ministers. Whatev'er pre-emiinene afterward belonged to Peter was deter mined by the Lord Himself from the he einning. He knew the ouralific:tons for leadership that were in ~him. He- knew also everv\abatement of his fitness to be first. But the elements that indicated his gift of precedence outntumbered the weak nesses which continually threatened his primacy. So it was Peter's beat He electeid ro enter. It was around Peter'z nersonal ity. chiefly. that He chose to nucleate the incidents of His calling of the four v-horn HeT would now detach from their haires. that the' might l-er.ceforth give a'i hi time and thought to Hi:n and t'o 11 mis SOn.

A traveling man relates that while riding on the new Orient line between Harper and Anthcny a few days ago. one of th,e side rods of the engine broke, and the other side stopped on a "dead enter," so that when the re pair was madc it 'was impossible td start the train again. He says: "The engineer, the conductor, and all the passengers took turns going over the thing and trying to devise a way to make it run. Finally a boy came cut of the field where he had been plowing to see what was going on. He crawled through the wire fence and sat down on the bank and fanned himself with his straw hat. "'If you'd back that last car up the grade an' let 'er come down kerchunk, that 'ud start her,' he finally suggest ed, deliberately. "The railroad men snIffed contemnpL ously, hut the passengers aided with the boy. Finally the conductor gave orders that~the rear car be uncoupled. No less than fifty passengers caught hold and pushed the car up the grade. Once at. the top the car was let go.
