MOUNTAIN COTTON MILL Industrial Experiment to Bo Triad In North Carolina's Hill Country. cotton will In the heart of th Blue Iildge mountains ami remote from a town will be an experiment In textile manufacturing with novel fea tures in the south, says the Charleston News ami Courier. Such a mill, it Is aid, is to lie built on Green river near Elrcon, X. C. The mill and Its village will be of Interest to dtudtwts of social affairs as well ns to manufacturers. Only those familiar with the North Carolina mountaineers, using the term in the strict sense and not including the dwellers in the fertile coves and alleys, cati comprehend the depths of their poverty. Perhaps the cottager on the steep declivity or rocky shelf of the mountain Itself, with his cab bage patch and stunted apple trees, has less of the comforts of American life than any other white man In America enjoys. For a number of years since the scarcity of mill labor has been felt the South Carolina man ufacturers of the Piedmont section have been In the habit of sending agents among these people, who would bring them to the mill towns, but their efforts have not been greatly success ful. The mountaineer loves bis home, rude and squalid though It be, and those who have come a little south ward or eastward have In many In stances soon returned to their poverty, their bracing air and the chill waters of the springs, which Is their chief boast. When the mill is built In the moun tains the mountain dwellers will have its ad Mintages and will still be at home. It will place schools and churches directly among them and will introduce a civilization which ag riculture, It seems, could hardly bring about. The manufacturer Is doubtless tempt ed to make the experiment beWovje of the prospect of an unfailing supply of efficient and satisfied labor. Addition ally unlimited water power will be available. While the raw cottou Is not grown in the mountains, it is produced at their feet, and when It Is remem bered that Piedmont, South Carolina and North Carolina now produce not more than a fourth of the cotton which is spun hi that section It will be seen that the Item of hauling the entire supply Instead of the larger portion some twenty live or thirty miles far ther by railroad Is of no Industrial Im portance. Writers who have made a practice of bewailing the horrors of child labor in the south will have the opportunity of learning Mime-thing from a mountain mill. Much as child labor Is to lie de plored, it Is possible that in spite of it Ihe conditions of life in some parts of the world may be Improved by the building of cotton mills, ami It may be that they will eventually be the instru ment for the lifting of a considerable population from u slough of despond, from a state which has in the past seemed hopeless. PROTECTING COAL MINERS. European Scheme of Chambers of Refuge Follows Shocking Accidents. The terrible accidents which have oc curred recently in the cual mines of Germany and France have drawn the attention of scientists, especially in the former country, to the introduction of methods of protecting the miners against tho recurrence of such calami ties or at least to diminishing ns far as possible tho ensuing loss of life, says the New York Tribune. One measure contemplated is tho construction of safety chambers, shut off from the rest of the mine and pro tected agniiit explosions. A conduit of compressed nir Is introduced Into these excavated rooms, and should the conduit le destroyed vessels or bottles filled with oxygon stored in the cfiam bers are intended to supply the neces sary air until a rescue can be effected. X logical extension of the plan Is tho equipment of these chambers with a sufficient supply of water and condens ed food to sustain life for a reasonable period of time in somewhat the same manner as lifeboats on vessels are equipped.

Most women in their desperation resort to powders, cosmetics and various other resources to hide their defects, without any attempt to cor rect them, and in time well you have seen many a woman who was deluded, thinking that she was fool ing the public. But, let me fay, she was the one that was deceived, not the public. One great cause for the unsightly pimples and blemishes is in many owes infrequeut bathing of the body. 1 the pares of the body are not kept open by bathing the poison which should escape through them must then pass through the pores of the face. The face should be washed at least twice a day to keep it cleau. Iu many cases the pores are over worked, the impuriti- s accumulate and manifest in skin disorder of the face. The body is protected bv clothing, the hands by gloves and the feet with shoes, leaving the face exposed to all kinds of weather coudit- SHOl l.D STUDY WKATHEK. It would well repay one to study the weather before starting out in order to preserve the complexion and use proper means to protect it. For instance, many will hurriedly wash the face in a careless in a u tier and start out of doors before it is thoroughly dry. This is ruinous to any complexion. After bathing tbe face some pure cold cream should be applied. Then rub with a soft towel, alter which apply face powder. This will protect the face from the wind. Many women bring about wrin kles by incorrect position in looking at their sewing or fancy work or in conducting the many duties w h i 3 li befall them, children are apt to form wrinkles at their studies in school. The bath will help to t;ike away certain facial blemishes and there are certain treatments to apply. To many, all that is required if this simple treatment: Just before retiring batne the face with pure, mild soap, some very hot water and a soft llcsh brush. Scrub your face and neck well. This cleanses tbe skin. Then, with the hands, dash clear water on the face and apply a sjoud skin fojd. HoV,' TO JVASH THE FACK.

Uepeat this several times. If this is continually practiced it will prevent the sagging of the muscles of the f ice. Next, give attention to the fore head, from the top down to the eye biows, not forgetting to give a liber al amount of attention to that part of the eyes underneath, which is so often disoolo el and has a baggy condition. Now for the nose: Begin by rub bing it and the surrounding surface vigorously, for the oil glands are very prominent there, and as they retain the dust it is very difficult to thoroughly cleanse them. Proceed to the neck. With the brush well lathered, start at the back of the neck with a forward movement, then a downward stroke. This will cleanse, help the circula tion, and assist iu reducing a fat neck or giving ilesh to a thin on. Finish with the hotter water rinse and the cold water dash.

I saw a number of other interesting things, but will not tire you to read them. I have been gone three weeks and seen enough to rest for awhile and while away the rest of my vacation in the hills of Montgomery with my cousins at the Troy gold mine.
