THE POPULAR CANNED YAM.

Six years ago canned vans or south
ern type sweet potatoes were prac-
tically unknown in Texas, according
to J. W. Stone, who recently ad-
dressed the Southern Sweet Potato
Gamers, not more than $500 cases be-
ing sold in that State. Texas now
takes fully 100000 cases and some
grocery houses have increased their
sales 1000 per cent. This increase is
due to better packing methods, and
and delicious prepared food article,
and is taken as an indication of what
may be accomplished by extending
distribution of canned yams to North
ern States. This development of can
ned vans is going hand in hand with
improvements in methods for keeping
the raw potatoes by means of artifi-
cial drying in northern sweet potato
storage houses throughout the South.
The Gamers see no danger of compe-
tition between the canned article and
the well-cured raw potato. because
canned foods are a necessity to con-
sumers in industrial centers. and the
two different forms of yam really ap-
peal to two separate and distinct
classes of consumers.

PIRATES OF NAGASAKI.
Eseapade of the Japanese Soldiers Who Pined for Some Action in These World War Days,

An amateur pirate story, that reads as if it might have been written by Mark Twain, comes from Nagasaki by way of the Kobe Japan Chronicle. It possesses elements of real romance. Yoshinaga Shinsaku. young sub- lieutenant in the army on the reserve list, dissatisfied because he was not having active part in the great worlds S war, gathered. about him ten compan- ions, most of them former soldiers and lovers of adventure like himself Armed with rifles and Japanese swords they left Misumi, in Higo province. kyushu, for China, in a small moter boat on Oct 14, for the avowed pur- pose of getting into some sort of a war by joining the revolutionists of South ern China. These soldiers of fortune were evidently as ignorant of geogra- phy as of the causes of dispute be- tween North and South China. They wanted trouble, and they got it.
 They started to cross the Yellow sea in boat hardly safe in a large lake. Before they got clear of the islands surrounding Nippon, their craft ran upon rock and was wrecked. Moth ing daunted, they secured a sailboat of somewhat larger size and at the end of very rough voyage, came in sight ! of Shantung province, China-whether

they know that fact or not is withheld when they were overtaken by violent storm.
 After drifting about for "A days, and nearly dying of starvation, they land ed at Nomo, in Nagasaki prefecture, in a terribly emaciated condition. The men were desperate, suffering from cold, hunger and want of money. The heroes became burglars, and broke into the postoff1ce at the village of Nomo, secured $315, which was equally divid- ed, according to pirate ethics, the commander declining to accept lions share. They repaired to rendezvous on Amakusa Island, not far from their original place of departure, where they disbanded, after solemn agreement to reassemble at Shanghai Before they got away, the minions of the law were upon them and all were arrested They frankly owned up to their revo- lutionary aspirations, their piracy and

tected by the great fortress of Svea- borg, which is called the Gibraltar of the Baltic" and of which one occa- sionally reads in the news despatches. The highest point Tn Helsingfors is crowned by great and imposing Lu theran church., and the majority of the Films are adherents of this faith.
 Through the center of Helsingfors runs great boulevard known as the -Gatan and this is the cen ter of life in summer. The schools close for these months and everybody enjoys one long holiday as far as pos sible. One day seems almost to melt in another. The young women one sees in Helsingfors are of the blue-eyed, flaxen- haired type, for the Swedish type seems to prevail here. Young girls, almost to the end of their teens, wear their hair in two faxen braids that hang down the back. They have the same sociaI-freedom as their sis ters on this side of the Atlantic.
 The market of Helsingfors is an ex- cellent place to study the Films and their characteristics From all over the surrounding country the peasants drive into the towns with their pro- duce and sell it direct to the town folk A small farmer may have killed a sheep or pig, and may be observed driving a keen bargain for the best cuts. Another has a few tiny kegs of butter covered with a layer of grass to keep it cool. Under old cotton um- brellas sit the market women with highly colored waists and black or white handkerchiefs tied over their
 heads. In small basin are the boats
 of the fishermen just in from their
 catch. The housewives or maids pass
 from one stall or boat to another in
 specting their wares. A little after noon the fishermen and market mer-
 chants who have come by sea set sail
 the cotton umbrellas come down, the
 wagons roll away, and the entire mar
 ket disappears as if by magic.-Nevir
 o. Winter. in the Christian Herald.

manufacture on a large scale. Rice flour is not a complete substitute for wheat flour because it lacks gluten. It can be mixed with wheat flour in conservation bread. There is a real opportunity, however, to broaden the market for what is known as rice polish.' This is the product of the brushes used in polishing rice when it's, brown coating is removed to pro- duct he familiar white rice of com merce. Rice polish has been sold chiefly for stock feed, but it is high ly concentrated food, more nutritious than rice itself, because it contains valuable chemical ingredients from the surface of the grain.-Syracuse Post-Standard.
