Rests in Lies MELODY.

Ruskin has said: There is no mu-
sic in rest, but there is the making OF
music in it In our whole life melody,
the music is broken off here and there
by rests and We foolishly think we
have come to the end of the time.
God sends a time of forced leisure,
sickness, disappointed plans, frus.
trated efforts and sudden pauses in
the choral hymn of our lives. and we
lament that our voices must be silent
and our part missing in the music
which goes up to the ear OF the crea.
tor. See Him beat the time with un-
varying count, and catch up the next
note as If no breaking place had come
between. Not without design does
God write the music of our lives. Be
1t ours to learn the tune and not be
dismayed by the rests" They are not
to be omitted If We look up God
will beat the time for us.

Immigration Companies Object

Tokio, Feb. l9-The Japanese news papers today printed the facts regard ing the provision of the hll in the American congress regulating the ad- mission of Japanese students into the public schools of the United States and forbidding the admission of Japan csc coolies. The immigration compan- ies are said to be preparing to attack the measure if the Japanese gov ernment accepts it.
 NJ. Nichi, who is regarded as an au- thority on diplomacy, says the total exclusion of Japanese labor from the United States is too high price to pay for a settlement of the school question, but that if the United States will allow Japanese to become natural ized citizens of the republic the con- troversy will thereby be settled.
