Pictures on Railway Cars.

The Western Railway Of France
runs an express train in the morning
between Paris and st. Malo, the car
riages Of which have pictures upon
them. One has an elephant, another a
harp, another a snake. and so forth.
There are anchors, balloons, flags,
punches Of grapes, birds, a pair of
scales, a star and an angler with his
fishing rod. The explanation given is
that passengers can remember pictures
better than numbers, and If they leave
the carriage temporarily they can re-
gain it more readily. 1t is certainly a
very Frenchy idea.

THE DAY OF MEMORIES.
The Program For the Observance OF
Memorial Days, May 80 and 81.

"FOLd up the banners. Snleu me guns.
LOve rules. Her ge1atIer purpose rams.
4 mighty mother turns IN tears
The pages of her battle gears,
Lamenting all her fallen sons :"
Next Sunday and Monday we will
again unite in honoring our soldier
deadly religious services, exercises
and by the strewing of garlands of
flowers and by recalling their deeds
of valor in the days of the country's
need.
Each year finds the lives of the old
boys of 81 to IS growing thinner and
in few more years the last of these
old gallant lads will have responded
to "taps" But Memorial day with
its flood of patriotic memories should
be no less dedicated to our younger
heroes-the boys through plague and
in battle sacrificed their lives in the
war with Spain. All did their duty
to our country, and it is hitting that
we should eulOgize their lives and
SOW i'm the minds of our younger gen.
Grafton a broad spirit of patriotism
and homage. Many are all too prone
to look upon Memorial day as day
of recreation and enjoyment-of base
ball, races, dancing and other amuse-
ments. 1t would seem, however, that
this is a gross dissertation of the day.
For few hours each year we can at
least unite in revering the memories
of our soldier dead.
The following is the complete pro-
gram for the observance of the COM
ing Memorial days. At the PreSby-
terrain church at three o'clock Sun
day afternoon exercises will be held,
the address to be given by Rev. Silas
Evans of RipOn, president of RipOn

1O7 FORMOSANS
 EXECUTED BY LAPS
Revolted Against Govern ment-Natives Dissatisfied
 With the Administration

Taiwan. Formosa. September 2i.
 Correspondence of the Associated
 Press. lone hundred and seven For mosans were sentenced to death yes- terday for revolt against the Japanese administration. The judge who pro- nounced the doom of the revolution aries warned the authorities that the natives were dissatisfied with the gov
 ernment regulations under which they
 lived and that the revolutionary move
 ment started by the accused had a far
 reaching effect among the islanders.
 Two of the ring leaders were coun-
 cfllors of the Taiwan prefectural office
 In their statement in reply to the query
 of the public procurator they said that
 since the occupation of Formosa by
 Japan the islanders had constantly
 suffered from Administration; that
 they had been deprived of their in-
 dustries and trade, and were grooming
 under heavy taxation. They declared
 that in the long run the islanders
 would be reduced to wretched and de-
 plorable conditions. Their aim was to
 drive out the Japanese from the island r According to the prosecutor the revo- lutionaries made efforts to raise war
 funds by inducing the ignorant island CTS to Join and support their scheme. To carry out this purpose they fabri- cated and circulated wild rumors to ap- peal to the superstitous minds of the islanders. They declared among other things that Buddhist prophet had foreseen Japans occupation would ex- pire next year and that in case the Japanese did not leave the population would be annihilated by divine power
 Those who contributed were given a tablet which, whom carried on tho body in case of warfare was to be eff fective in protecting from the danger of death. Furthermore. during the Tsing-ta attack and the Japan China negotiations they circulated rumor that many German aeroplanes and a big force of Chinese revolutionists would come over to the island to re- cover the soil from Japan. Todays sentences were in addition to those imposed earlier in the month when eight ring leaders were ordered shot

Horses Scarce In Panama

Panama, october 20- - Special ) Much difficulty is being experienced by the United States troops in obtaining good horses for the various branches of the service in the canal zone. Very few of the animals raised in Panama are either high or heavy enough for the re- quirements of the army. Recently Lieu tenant Joseph A. Marmon aide de camp to Brfgadier General Clarence R. Ed wards, commanding the Panama canal troops, made trip to the province of Chiriqui to obtain horses. Out of more than 200 examined only II came any where near the army specifications All of them were under 14 hands high General Edwards made trip to Costa Rica where he purchased a, few animals but they also are not quite up to the army specfications. Army officers be- 1ieve 1t will be necessary to obtain re- mounts from either Chile or Jamaica. but the latter market. because of the war. is now temporarily closed.

DIARY DESCRIBES
 NAPOLEON'S DEATH.
Tells of Putting Emperor's Heart in Tureen and
 Preserving 1t

London, october e-tCorrespondenc or the Associated Press.l-A Napoleonie document in the form of diary kept on St. Helena by one Andrew Darling a carpenter, has Just been brought to light here. which gives new information on doubtful points regarding Napoleon s death. The diary was kept during May. 1921. A description of the dead Em- peror's body. under the date of May D. is of especial interest. as Darling acted as undertaken. built the coffin and ground up some plaster of paris statuettes to make the plaster for the death mask. He wrote:
 About 8 I went with General Montho- lon to the room where he was and saw him and was much astonished to see him so much wasted in the body, but at the same time look so well, so young. and with such pleasing countenance.
 The size of the coffin I made was as follows: Length, feet, Il inches: depth, 12 inches: width, at the head, 10 inches shoulders. 21 inches foot. eight inches At that time I understood that he was to lie in state and to be opeifed about o'clock. but was not aware that he was to be put into the coffin with his hat on.'
 On the 7th there Is this entry:
 1T believe they wished his heart to be taken home with them but did not get permission; therefore, they wished to preserve it. which wa accordingly done In the following manner.
 His heart and stomach, as I have al- ready mentioned. was in n silver vase or tureen. having been part of his plate with aA cover to 1t, on which was his coat of arms with an eagle on the top, which unscrewed with a nut; this having been soldered on fast and then the heart hav- ing been put Into the tureen by Dr Rut- ledge In the presence of Count Montho- lon. etc, etc, the top having been sol dered on and hole having been made fin the bottom of the vessel. the spirits was then poured in by Dr. Rutledge and an old shilling soldered on the hole; a considerable delay having taken place, owing to the construction of the vessel il was past o'clock before the two men finished"

RUSSIA SEETHING WITH REVOLUTION

demonstration. The participants vowed to pay no taxes, and to prevent their kinsmen serving In the army, until the Duma was reeonvoked. They prepared a manifesto begging all good Russians to refuse to pay taxes and to refuse 10 serve in the army. Having passed the resolu- ton. thecadets went home, paid their taxes, sent their sons into the army. and did nothing to carry out their threat. That discredited revolutionary radicalism. as thing of talk and not of will and 1t discredited the able MiliulSoff. It showed up the weak side of Russian poll ties
 A better revolutionist than Miliukoff is the Cadtet Advocate Maxlakoff Maklakoff aspires to play a big role in the new revolution. He is brother of the re- actionary Minister of the Interior Makla- koff, whom Czar Nicholas has just dis missed Maklakoff is eloquent, fervent patriotic, and he has more character than his brother reformers. Today he is said to favor acts, not talk.
 Russias trouble is that neither of the two prominent parties. the reactionary bureaucrats and the rhetorical reformers. have as much character and will as the Black People-the "Tchern." In spite of Czar Nicholas bold stroke against the presumptuous Duma, the Duma will probably come into power. It will have a idual programmes: internal reform and war with the invader to the knife. Cynics doubt whether the Duma has the brain and will to succeed. In internal re-. form it must fight the tough, immov- able permanent officials who stick hard to their old ways of corruption. inertia. and reactionary obscurantism. To put mild, spectacled professors like MlliuKofr to run Russias department of the in terior invites disaster From imme- moral time the department has dabbled

If the reformers defeat the corrupt bureaucrats. they have next to drive out the Germans and Austrians. That is harder. job. They must start from the beginning. They must create a new war office create new army, create new arms If they fail, they will be as discredited zas is the old regime. And they will be as much hated. Then comes the time of the "Tchern."

respected. although he had married outside the parish.
 If NJ Jean Jacques Barbille of the Man or Cartier, in the parish of St. Saviour, province of Quebec. had not decided to make the Grand Tour,' while he was a young man, his story would certainly have been very different. For it was on the quay of Quebec just before he sailed, that he picked up the little book of "Meditations in Philosophy" which be- came his inseparable companion, and 1t was on his homeward voyage that he met Carmen Dolores and her old rascal of father who was perforce doing his native Spain the favor of leaving it to take up his abode in Canada Now NJ. Jean Jacques had not only spent a year at Laval university in Quebec, but he had almost gift of thinking and vanity in abundance, so he studied and restuded the little book, soon convincing himself that his was a wonderfully clear and logical mind: and he had warm heart, and was impressionable and chiv- alrous, so he quickly fell in love with the fascinating Carmen. From that live sprang all his misfortunes. There was something big in the woman, only it did not come out right declared Judge Car casson-that wise little old judge who so rarely made @ mistake-after NJ. File had told him the true story of the shipwreck.
 Doesn't it all sound ''Parkeresque' "n the parish of St. Saviour, province of Que bec,' the very name of the hero, Jean Jacques Bahrbille. and that of the heroine Carmen Dolores?
 Sir Gilbert Parker has never drawn a more beautiful or more loveable charac- ter than Jean Jacques, and those who are fortunate enough to make his &C., quaintance through the persual of "The Money Master" will never forget him never cease loving him-never think of him as anything but a friend.

GERMANS TRYING ID
 REBUILD LOUVA|N
Inhabitants Do Not Respond to M0vement-Want the
 Ruins to Remain

London, october 10--Plans and de- scriptions of rebuilt Louvain. pre- pared by German artists and architects have been distributed in Louvain in or der to get the Belgians interested In this work but so far only few new houses have been erected among tho ruins. The descriptions are in the Flem- ish language.
 An English goyerness. who has just been released by the German author tiles and who has come to London. de- clares that the Germans are using ev- cry means to ingratfate themselves with tho people of Louvain. As the ruins serve to remind the Belgians of their woes, the Germans are doing all they can to enforce rebuilding. But the people are antagonistic, and want the ruins to stand until they can be seen by all the world.
 Brussels and the towns generally are quite Germanized now, she says. Even the roadside sign posts bear the names of places in German. The cities ana country are full of spies. male and fe- male, who pretend to be Belgian pa triots, so that the people are extreme ly cautious fin what they say to strangers.
 While Belgium appears calm enough. there Is a strong undercurrent Of an- tagonism, and the Germans have to submit to constant pinpricks. Humor- ous remarks under official posters is . common form of annoyance although heavy penalties, amounting to fines of S25000 or five years imprisonment. are imposed for interfering with Ger mans or German official proolnmat'ons.

Banana Figs and Chips
From Commerce Reports


 The methods of inspecting and loading bananas hitherto used at the ports where they are shipped have been exceedingly wasteful. Great quantities of the fruit are thrown overheard, one bunch because it is a little bruised. another because it has grown too loosely another because it has less than eight hands" Stock will eat green bananas. but the amount thrown in the bay at Port Limon alone, for ex- ample, is enough to feed five times the head of stock in the place and all the people as well. When the problem of utilizing this waste was first taken up. many statements had obtained currency to the effect that bananas were a rem edy for tuberculosis; and 1t was in the belief that a fortune could be made by preparing the waste fruit to be used as a. medicine that experiments began. AL though it was soon determined that this was delusion. the work was continued with a view to putting on the market a. nutritious and strengthening food and a. process was finally arrived at and pat ented In Costa Rica. In the meanwhile, however interests in Jamaica had been working along the same lines and, as they had more capital and better means of putting the product on the market, had managed to make bansna flour a well recognized food in Europe, and espe- cially in Germany. In that the difficulty was not to sell the flour, the chips, and the figs but to obtain a suffi- cient supply for the demands of the trade.
 The banana figs as they are called form a very paltable and unusual con- lection. They are simply ripe bananas dried by artificial heat. The evapora- tion of the water reduces them in size until they are scarcely larger than mans finger, while the natural sugar in the fruit gives 8 flavor-not that of a fresh banana, but one hard to describe. not too sweet and very agreeable. They are quite digestible. The banana chips are quite like the potato chips with which everyone is familiar. Like the flour. they are made of the bananas when not quite ripe. The vegetarians of England and Germany have prepared a number of recipes for the preparation of all three of these products, and it is evident that in the utilization of waste bananas food product of considerable value has been set before the public. The equipment of the plants is very simple and compara- lively inexpensive, and labor is cheap in Costa Rica. Doubtless the large banana exporting companies would be very glad indeed to quote such prices on the re- jected fruit as would enable a factory to make profit; and the same is prob ably true of the owners of the indepen- dent plantations, for there Is an absolute loss on the punches that do not reach the standard size, and they are only cut to be destroyed, fed to the stock. or given to the hands.

Paper Money Popular

fioii tuc oidI.
 The issue of the f1 and 10 shilling notes in England is admitted to be a bold ex- pertinent, but it has proved so succoss- full that every effort is being made to in- crease their circulation The improve ments made on the second series of notes lessen the danger of forgery and still other improvements may be made.
 The notes are convertible into gold or demand. for which the treasury of Great Britain has hoarded up gold reserve for the notes so that in time the paper is- sue, instead of raising prices by lnflat- Ing the volume of money in circulation. will represent one kind of money instead of another.
 Practical financiers want the note to remain in circulation to displace gold. so as to build up the central reserve of metal and prevent the usual waste by handling In circulation.
