ONE WAY OF RAISING MONEY
Governments, In NapoIeonic Wars,
Made Counterfeit Coins to Finance
Raids on Enemy.

Numerous methods have been
adopted from time to time for supple
menting the currency of the various
countries engaged in war, but 1t is
scarcely possible that the powers will
be forced again to the expedients that
were often essential in the old days.
Prior to NapoleOn's 1912 campaign,
for instance, the Paris gMdarmes
made raid one night on house in
the Plaine Montrouge, and discovered
a manufactory of false notes. Quite
a sensation was caused when, on the
following day, the police minister
made the announcement that the man
ufactory had been started "by order
Of the emperor" The false notes,
which were Austrian and Russian,
instead of French, were intended for
use against the enemy on the Russian
expedition, but the bulk of them came
to grief during the great retreat.
The duke Of Wellington was respon-
sible for similar stroke of business
during the Peninsular war. Badly in
need of gold when about to invade
France, he conceived the idea of hunt
ing out some counterfeit coiners from
the ranks. A number of these gentry
were forthcoming, and they were or
dered by the great general to exercise
their evil art by Transforming English
sOvereigns into louis dor and napo-
Icons.

Keep Windows Open All Time

Get into the habit of living in n
house with all the windows open,
rain or shine-night and day. You
can't possibly get too much fresh air.
The very fact that people say their
houses are damp and chilly shows that
the windows have not been open
enough, says prominent health au-
thorlty.
Damp houses come from not having
enough air to dry them out. Even on
the rainy days it We're better to open
wide the windows and let the fresh air
in and even little rain-than to shut
the windows down, stopping the en-
trance of fresh air.
The healthiest people in the world
are the savages, and they live out Of
doors in the rain as well as In the
sunshine. Don't be afraid of fresh air
ut any time.

Activity of Russian Women.

AS Russia was the first country
where women were given control over
their inherited property, and as Petro-
grad has had for some years the larg-
est medical college for women in Eu-
rope, 1t is not strange that women
have taken such an uctive part In the
military campaigns. In all the revolu-
tiOnary movements the women stu
dents have been made dangerous per-
haps, to the government, than the
men. 1t is believed that the majority
of the women amaZOns are evolution

was sought for the opportunity it gave

KING LEWANIKA's STATE BOAT

Monster Elephant Emblem, Court
Jester and Musicians.

while travelling in Rhodesia,"
writes a contributor in the Wide World

of King Lewanika's state barge. The
chief of the Barotse is fine fellow,
but was much amused one afternoon
to see him going out for row attired
In top hat and n gaudy dressing

''Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley Is flooded and natives
migrate to the sandy belt some miles
away for the season. The king al
ways makes the trip in the royal barge,

In the center are two compartments,

room and the other the sleeping quar-
ters. On the roof of one of these COM
partments Is erected monster ele-
phant, as sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands the court
Jester, who, on this occasion, amused
the populace by pretending to hunt
and shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
80 or GO paddlers and host of bailers,
for the barge was by no means water
tight To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song the huge craft
was propelled along on its journey, the
return voyage taking place four or fi%e

Gain In Coal Production Shown.

A report of the coal survey com.
mittee of the Colorado Council of De.
fense was submitted to Governor Gun.
ter by Chairman ]. f. Welborn. Among
other things the report stated that,
despite the winter car shortage,
which it is said has already set in,
coal mines in Colorado are expected
to produce in 1917 approximately g.
100000 tons in excess of the 1916 ton
mage, which was 10,340,000." That
there is no labor unrest at the mines
and the maximum yearly production
of 17,923,O00 tons is possible; that
with full quota of labor and cars
the production of 100000 tons can
be predicted was statement con.

on general conditions. An increase
for the first eight months of this year
over a corresponding period of 1916
of 2,053.715 tons, equal to 33h per
cent, is shown, and at this rate it is
estimated that the year will close with
an approximate production of 13,000,.

The consent which life extracts from

two thousand sabers, and they were
stormed at by a terrific artillery fusil-
lade, but their isolated attacks were
magnificent in courage and so effective
they proved to the experts that the
day of charging by cavalry in mass had
not yet ended.
When Gallifet's horse were exhaust
ed, however, the Germans advanced in
Il charge which extended over a front
of almost two miles. Wimpffen, in a
desperate counter stroke, cleared the
Germans out of Bazeilles and Balan,
and for the moment the road to escape
seemed open. What Wimpffen did not
know was that another Prussian corps
stood waiting behind the gap.
Galloping back to the town to find
the emperor and implore him to put
himself at the head of all available
re-enforcements, Wimpffen was aston
ished to see white flag displayed
from the church tower. The emperor,
who during the early hours of the fight
ing had exposed himself fearlessly to
death, had been overcome by physical
pain and exhaustion, had abandoned
hope and had offered his personal sur
render to the king of Prussia, at the
same time ordering the white flag to
be hoisted.
1t was torn down at the moment Of
its appearance by Colonel Fauve, but
| 1t went up again a short time later
when the Prussians were battering at
the western gate. 1t remained for
Wimpffen only to make terms for the
surrender of his army. Thus passed
into captivity 72,OOO French soldiers
with 55S guns. The cost to the vic
| tors for this victory was 5000 men.
The French killed and wounded num-
bered 1900. 1t is Indicative of the
Generalization among the French that
this figure is 1000 less than the cost
of victory to the Germans at Woerth,
although in that case the number of
French actually engaged was one-half
that at Sedan. The day of the French
mOuntebank emperor was done. There
followed dreadful days of the COM
mune. And from 1t emerged the mag
nif1cent France we now know.
