Japanese in U. S. Army.

1t may not be generally known that
the United States Army of the future
will include q command Of Japanese
soldiers, but this is 4 fact. They will
not come from the armies which arc
lighting in the Far East, but will be
enrolled from Il Japanese citizens in
the Sandwich Islands. It is needless
to say that q very large proportion of
the population of the islands, and es-
pecially Of Honolulu, is composed OF
this nation. They are found among
the bankers, merchants and profess
sional men, and are included among
the wealthiest residents Of the city.
One of the principal schools of Hon.
olulu is attended exclusively by Jap
anese children, and here has been ell
rolled 4 command Of cadets which is
to be mustered into the United States
militia as soon as its members are old
enough. 1t is drilled by 4 foreign jap
anese army officer, and although organ
lied but a few years ago. this battal-
ion has already attained a high stand
ard of efficiency. 1t is frequently seer
on parade in Honolulu and attracts

What a Dream Taught Him.

There is i legend told of a young --an
who was ever disconnected and ever COM
planning of his lot. but whose lille was en-
tirely transformed through the influence
of Il dream.
In this dream he was carried INTO a
beautiful country. After driving for
miles and miles, he stopped before a mag
n~iicent palace. 1t was built OF marble,
and the carving was of the finest work
manship.
The building was of enormous size, coy
ering with its wings, fully q square mile,
and everything was on a scale OF rare
splendor. Stepping to one side OF the pal
ace, his ewes rested on a dark brown
niche, small, but in such a striking con.
trast to the palace that he asked the GUIDE
what it meant.
Image the young mans surprise when
he said: "The fault is yours. This IS the
Palace Beautiful, and this is your meme.
You have been unhappy because OF your
lowly station in life, and since you could
not have a position Of prominence, you
have spent your time discontinued, while
others have been improving their time and
talents. 1t rests upon You alone to make
this place perfect" The young man
awoke, saw the lesson taught by the
dream, and set to work to marbleIze his
brown niche"

The Wake.ess Auto Eoat,

Il Is q deep-draught boat that leaves
a turbulent wake, but auto bouts are
all above the water, being made, as It
were, to skim over the smooth surface
from wave to wave, like q shell,
leaving hardly a ripple behind. And
for this reason they are capable of high
speed in even rougher water than that
of the Harlem. Not long since the
Standard left Sandy Hook in company
with the Monmouth, admittedly the
fastest steamer in New York Harbor,
and in spite of the chop in the bay and
the quartering seas from the propellers
of outgoing steamers. the automobile
boat reached the Battery, q distance OF
approximately twenty miles, fifteen
minutes ahead of the Monmouth

Gods Work Goes On.

In the most disastrous periods OF the
church there have always been some Ia
seven thousand, perhaps, who. have not
bowed the knee to Baal. Ministers may
have become corrupt; churches may have
been infected with unholy ~leaven; the
rich and the learned may have been unan-
imous in their rejection Of everything. ex'
cept the mere superfcialities of religion;
and vet it will be found that God, who
values the blood of His beloved Son too
highly to let it remain imperative, mas
raised His altar in individual hearts; IN
places, in the recesses Of valleys and noun
tains, he has written His name upon re-
generated minds; and the incense of their
alteration, remote from public NOTICE; has
gone silently up to heaven.-T. G. Upham.
