"Several times when'statiOnedat
ilongleong I went° on leave .to important
places in China and particulerly noted
things military," writes a correspondent;
The first time 1 - went was four and a
half sear? -ago, and the armies, of the
•different provinces were in 4 transition
sate. I saw soldiers who had no Other
weapons save their spears and gingalls,
end in little better elethes than rags,
and on ethe other hand -1 saw some with
Mouser rifles and even with waterproof
ccat,s, which, when a sprinkle of rain
fell," they put on over smart uniforms.
"But of course it was the war between
Japan and Russian that noteonly awoke
Oliva but made her sit up and look
about her. Since the beginning of that
War therehas been Chinese military
renaissance. Just after it began 1 went
for a tour in China. and noticed how
husk the military hive was. At Canton
h I saw the guard of the viceroy with
bugle. band and all complete, and car --
Sanely the band did not appear to be or-
ganized in order to follow tho. injunc-
tion of an old. military writer: `Spread
in the camp of the enemy voluptuous
musical airs so a.e to soften hie heart.'
When the guards of honor who receiv-
the the viceroy at Hankow during • a
visit I paikVifo that place presented aims
• to his excellency they did not do so
ltneeling as used to be the case, but in
• the most approved Epropean style.
}laving good introductions to the author-
• ities at Ichang, I Was shown over the
barracks, beginning with, the school, for
all these up to date soldiers must learn
to read and write. On the •walls of the
school there were - maps, and also por-
traits of some of the world's great men.
There were else cards upon which were
shown every decoration and uniform of,
the Japanese army. Pains seem to have
been taken to teach tfie soldiers that Ja-
pan is • the only important, country-• eln
the world. The barrack. roornsswere
small, but not crewded, and the Men's
arms and accouterments were in good
• order. The men looked well fed and
seemed to take great interest in physical
drill. The officers have given up the

and amber necklacesand are dressed in
raore western. fashion."
Cluna has recently started an army
. council .for organizing an imperial army.'
Its president is Yuan Shill Kai, the most
tonest and theeeleverest.man in China,
and nearly all its members have visited
Europe or. Japan. It is said thattthete
aro at present ten divisions, or 120,000
in, in the new army properly equip-
-ped and trained by fefeigners. It is
hoped that within the next ten -years the
numbers will mount up to half .a mil-
lion. Enlistment is voluntary, and for
.-three years with the colors, after which
the soldier passes into the first and
econd reserve. Reoruits are carefully
thosen after a•pc,riod of probation. They
must be between 20 and 25 years of age,
'fine feet five inches tall, and able to bit

of the paste; if it is lomptd and not of
the proper consistency, the paper will
crack and curl off... To make a good
paste proceed exactly as it preparing

"apostle" means, literally, one sent with
orders. Of the many disciples who be-

been chosen to be his especial represen-

Jesus had for desiring to be alone with
his disciples at this time. This reason
,was the profound grief which he felt at
the death of John the Baptist, the news
of which had just been,- brought to him.
32. Desert place --By this expression
we are to understand not a barren waste
