Fortune In a Gnin

Somewhere in the world there is q
fortune In a coin. Among the coins
Napoleon had minted were some mil.
lions of five-franc pieces, and he de.
termined to popularize these in an ex.
traordinary way. In one of the coins,
folded to a tiny size, was enclosed q
note signed by Napoleon, and promis.
ing the sum Of 100000 francs-about
&200,000-to the finder Of that partic.
ular coin. 49,
Naturally, everybody who changed
n large piece demanded the new five.
franc coins in exchange, and as rule
probed and dug and sounded the metal
In eager search for the hidden note.
But the years went on and yet the
note did not appear. Napoleon's
plighted word Is a sacred trust to the
French nation, and today the govern.
ment stands ready to pay the debt,
which, with interest, is now worth
e 75,000-upon demand.

NEW WAY WITH DISHES
WILL BIZ FOUND TO LiehTEN
HOUSEHOLD DUTIES.
Once Day suffieIent, With Proper
Manaeement-After Breakfast tho
Sest Time to Perform the
Necessary Work.

1t Is astonishing to think that after
centuries Of housekeeping women
should continue to wash dishes in the
same old way. The mother of girl
who finished her college course last
spring sends In this excellent plan by
which she and her daughter contrived
to tighten their household duties very
greatly. In the first place. 1t Is a
small family of four, and they wash
dishes only once a day-in the morn
ing. Does that sound slovenly to you?
NO, 1t is merely good management.
After each meal the dishes are held
under spigot-the hot one II they
are very greasy-and that takes care
Of the "horrid" part. They are then
stacked carefully in large. wooden
box which stands on the table con-
Veniently near the sink. The lid is
closed, the rest Of tie kitchen put in
order, the pots put to coax in an in
conspicuous place and the "co-opera-
tive housekepers" are free to spend
the afternoon or evening pleasantly.
After breakfast, however, when
plenty of hot water is at hand, they
begin washing the glass and silver in
big dishpan of sudsy water. These
are rinsed and dried; the rest of the
dishes are washed. set in wire racks

thoroughly scalded with hot water
that comes directly from the spIgot
through a short length OF hose, one
end Of which is slipped over the 'spigot
and the other end of which carries n
bathroom spray nozzle. This hose, by
the way, is a homemade arrangement.
Most OF the water having now run
Oh, the dish rack is lifted on the news
papered top Of sort of buffers tray
on wheels. This tea wagon was also
made by the college girl, who had had
bit OF manual training. The wagon
was then pushed into the pantry and
by the time the second rack Of dishes
was ready the first was dry and ready
to be packed on the shelves
1t certainly is a pleasure to see and
eat from those beautiful shiny dishes.
OF course, there were left the pots
and pans, which had to be scrubbed
and dried. But that isn't bad job
il one is not already tired out with
drying and packing away numerous
small lots of dishes. To be sure, it
takes great many dishes, but then
10 one thinks of washing the clothes
every day because It takes a lot to
keep going all week. After all If with
proper organization one can get well
done, all at once, whatever work is
really necessary, why stick to an an

WHALING A LIVE INDUSTRY
Statistics Show That Il Has Not
Died, and Has Every Prospect Of
q Long Life.

Whaling today In the extreme south
ern waters Is conferred to a great ex-
tent in the Falkland islands, due to
the British authorities of those ISL
ands for the privilege OF operating in
the South sea current, with the South
Shetland islands and Grahamland as
bases. The Compania Bailenera de
Magellanes Chilean company, is the
only whaling concern in this terri
tory. Organized in 1905, 1t operates
administrative Offices in Punta Arenas,
a trying-out station on the island Of
San Isidro I'm the Strait of Magellan,
and base of operations in the South
sea current, licensed from the Falk-
land authorities. The company opens
its annual whaling season in the
Strait of Magellan in October, with
base at San Isidro, where it operates
until December, in which month its
floating station and three whaling
boats steam to the South sea current,
to remain until the season closes in
March or April. The catch for the
last year in the Southern seas was
valued at about S245,000. Only occa-
sional right and sperm whales are
caught in the extreme southern wa
tiers, the usual classes taken being
blue, humpback, fin, and sey whales.
The whales when killed are brought
alongside the floating station and
there cut up and the sections tried
out into oil. However, one of the
Norwegian companies (Solvesen's) is
erecting base on Deception Island
adequate for trying out the whole
whale.
