About 600 years ago Japan was
threatened with an invasion from con-
tinental Asia, much as England was
threatened with invasion by the Span
iards. The beaten Spanish armada
was dispersed by storm and Japan was
delivered in much the same way, but
without an engagement. A Japanese
writer, Okakura Yoshisabura, says:
"The mighty Kublai, grandson of the
great Genghiz khan, naughty with his
resistless army, whose devastating in

both in words and on canvas, was
quite unlike that of any other man,
had a singularly happy life. 1t was
full of encouragement and greatly
cramped by poverty, but of this he
seemed to take no account. His mind
was always filled with lofty and beau
tiful thoughts, and this world seemed
to him but the entrance to a nobler
state of existence.
One day, when he was an old man, a
little girl was brought to him. He
looked at her tenderly, stroked her
long curls. and said:
My child, may God make this world
as beautiful to you as it has been to
me-"
He had not been well for long
time before his death. When his old
friend, the artist Flaxman, died, Blake
said:
Il thought should go first. can.
not think of death as more than going
out of one room into another"
A little mre than year after that
he died. On the day of his death he
composed and uttered songs in praise
of God, so sweet that his wife, as she
stood by, was enraptured by them.
MY beloved" he said to her, "they
are not mine. No, they are not
mine!"

volunteered to rush the works the
same night. Men came to their Off

up the trenches with their corpses, so
that others following them might
walk over their bodies into the de-

deputation of officers and men was
sent to the divisional commander, who
gave them the requested permission,
not without some hesitation. All the
unwounded of our company offered
themselves to man, and formed UP
in fact, they all offered themselves;
but we were compelled to take only

with tumbler full of water, to drink

which they might never meet again.
Gen. Tachimi uncorked some wine and
