MONEY IN DoUGHNUTs.
How a Woman Made Neat Sum m
 Alaska.

From the New York Commercial.
 How did I get my start?" asked suc- cessful business woman here in New York as a customer of hers fingered to chat with the breezy proprietress. She has two extensive establishments for the clean ing and dying of women's fine wearing ap- pareI. Well" she continued, T don mind telling you. Doughnuts did it.
 1T had the gold fever on me bad about ten years ago, and I went to Alaska to make a million dollars as l believed l could. Of course I took my little savings along with me. But my gold prospecting served no purpose but to eat up my little capital. A few weeks after arrival on the ground found me stranded and on the lookout for some practical means of live lihood. I had learned from an aunt to make good doughnuts. She was thor ough New England housewife and set great store by cooking. I knew that the materials for doughnuts cost less than the materials for any other sort of cake. I heard that the people in Nome were cry ing out for something good to eat, and a friend lent me the money to go there and get the necessary tent, stove and other furnishings for starting business.
 At that time Nome consisted of miles of tents strung along the beach and ex- tending back in rows as the houses in a

city block are arranged. I planted my tent poles in a central place and from the first had all the custom I could attend to- Soon I had to get assistants to help serve and keep the cash, but the frying or doughnuts I trusted to no hands but my own. If the frying isn't done in lard ac- tually at boiling heat a doughnut, how ever well made or of whatever good ma- terial, will be seggy and tough. And l wanted my standard kept up. At the end of the season I came away with my gains before I had time to be tempted in spec ulations. l expect to go back to Alaska? No, but only because I am tired of ad- venture and enjoy having permanent home.'
 She brought more than $10,000 in gold back to New Yorl-all from dougnnuts. They sold at 25 cents a piece, and most of that money was made during one summer season at Nome. She is now on Easy street-goes. from one shop to the other in her own carriage and has expert man. agers and foremen from whom she re- ceives reports twice a day at each estab- lishment. She puts in about five hours a day in the business, but insists that 1t Is not such get-rich-quick scheme as fry ing doughnuts.

HOW LAUNDRIES KEEP
 THE PARCELS STRAIGHT

the mark on the list The bundles are then divided into general and special lots. the special lots consisting of all hetel work and hurry ordols. Three special and large number of general lots are run each day When the clothes are taken from the bundles they go to make up any one lot Tie lists bel n7ing to those bund,es each bear Il e number of the lot. These lists are sent 10 the aniee and all of the clothss In he loi go through the various manipulations of the laundry together, and when finished meet the lists in the sorting r, om, where he clothes are put up in packages, each with its proper list. Simple, but there is one chance for a mistake The marker has many bundles to inspect and mark Sometimes a bundle of unmarked linen runs and by chance in the same lot there Is another bundle belonging to a person of the same name and the marker gets the same mark or initial on the new arti- cles. Then there is trouble, and the man with the eighteen neck is liable to set the fourteen collar.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-06-21

The question as to how big laundries manage, with the multitude of pieces of linen that they handle, to return the prop CT articles to the proper parties has long puzzled an Age-He;ald reporter, as 1t doubtless has many other persons. With a view to having 1t solved, If the intriea- cles of the system were not too great for his comprehension, the reporter dropped in at the Empire laundry and asked George l.. Griffin, president of the com pany, to explain the system. provided it would not take up too much Of hls time and was not too complicated. MP. Griffin laughed and said.
 Tt is almost as complicated as sorting letters in the post office" and then added as salve to the reporters amour propre, but many people have asked me the same question"
 The process in detail, as explained by MT. Griffin. Is as follows: All bundles of clothes coming to the laundry are first listed and then marked. the marks on the articles corresponding to

on chairs, as Americans and Europeans do. The Japanese method of sitting. he says. interferes with the free circulation of the blood and naturally prevents the limbs from becoming thoroughly de- veloped.
 An proof that he is right he draws at tention to the fact that the boys In Japan at the present day are taller by five or six centimeters than their ancestors were at a similar age, and he maintains that the reason is because the former. when they attend school. are obliged to sit on benches. whereas the latter squatted while Nhey learned their lessons. That the Japanese ought to be taller than they are is the editors opinion. and he has appealed to the government to prohibit the use of mats.

would add greatly to every interest to
have the country filled up with small
American farmers.
II visited the Wahiawa country twice.
1t is certainly very pretty country.
L think there Is no doubt but what the
pineapple industry up there Is going
to be a success and there Is good land
enough to make quite settlement o.
small farmers. Yes, think that ba-
nanas can be grown there at profit
and that would be a beautiful indus
try for small farming.
THE reservoir site is very good, the
building Of a canal is altogether prac-
ticable and / have no doubt 1t will be
built in the very near future and will
be a financial success both for the
Wahiawa Water Co., and for the Wa
ialua Agricultural Co. in their great
sugar plantation. The saving of the
stored water, which will go by gravi-
ty into the cane lands needing irriga-
ton, over the cost of pumped water
will be enough to make pretty good
dividend for very large capital We

ern California, pumped and gravity
Mdlti anu We are wei WITH
the advantage and cheapness of gravl-
ty water over the pumped.
Every inch of water that runs down
the streams from the mountains to the
sea should be conserved and put to pro-
fitable use, and l have no doubt but
what this will be done more and more,
year by year. Yes, / think these ISL

cially this one.
II have not taken time to visit the
other islands but / have done this one
pretty thoroughly. I have visited about
all of its interesting points and have
been clear around the island. / shall
always have very pleasant memories
of this visit and win always be and
