Water seems to surround it on every side. It dates back to 1350, when it was founded by the Swedish king, Gustavus Vasa, and the liberties of a town were immediately conferred upon the little hamlet as. a special favor.

The highest point mn Helsingfors is crowned by a great and imposing Lu- theran church, and the majority of the Finns are adherents of this faith. Through the center of Helsingfors runs a great boulevard known as the Esplanade-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 almo to melt in another. Fhe young women one sees in Helsingfors are of the blue-eyed, flaxen-haired type, for the Swedfsh type seems to prevail here. Young girls, almost to the end of their 'teens, wear their hair in two flaxen braids that hang down the back. They have the same social-freedom as their s ters on this side of the Atlanti The market of Helsingfors is an ex- cellent place to study the Finns 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.

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 its. 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 a high- ly concentrated food, more nutritious than rice itself, because it contains valuable chemical ingredients from the surface of the grain.—Syracuse Post-Standard. PIRATES OF NAGASAKI. Escapade of the Japaness 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, a young -su lieutenant in the army on the reserve list, dissatisfied because he Wwas not war, gathered about him ten compan- ions, most of them former soldiers and lovers of adventure like himself. Armed with rifes and Japanese swords they left Misumi, in Higo province, Kyushu, for .China, in a small moter pose of getting into some sort of a war by joining the revolutionists of South- ern China. These soldiers of fortung 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 a boat hardly safe in a large lake. Before they -got clear of the islands surrounding Nippon, their craft ran upon a rock and was wrecked. Noth- ing daunted, they secured a sailboat having active part in the great world's | boat on.

After driftiny about for 74 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 héroes became burglars, and broke into the postoffice at the village of Nomo, secured $375, which was equally divid- ed, according to pirate ethics, ° commander declining to accept 2 lion's share. They repaired to a rendezvous on Amakusa Island, not far from their original place of departure, where taey disbanded, after a solemn agreement to reassemble at Shanghai. Before they got away, the minions of the law were upon'them and all were arrested.
