Two or three women made a home In the little cottage near the schoolhouse, and with the help of woman in the cove made the first beginnings of reviving the native in- dustries among the mountain women.
 In speaking of this revival, and Of the native woman Miss Goodrich said;
 ",The art of making these coverlets mas never been wholly lost in the southern mountains, though in many places like the cove in question it had been apan- doned, and very few of the younger wom- en in any locality understand this more intricate kind of weaving. But though the looms had been burned as rubbish the spinning wheel still held it's place on the porch of the homes, and we deter mined to make beginning by having the yarn prepared for few coverlets. Wool was purchased of farmers in the next valley and given out to spinners to be carded ard spun by hand. The col bring was the next business. Diamond dyes had been adopted for the linsey and for the stocking yarn made at home, and 1t was q matter of time to learn from the older women the secrets of the indigo pot and of the coloring with barks and

Collar Supporters

''Is it from the sublime to the ridicu- lous," asks an authority on fashion, "or from the ridiculous to the sublime, to sug- gest that women may make use of the cleaners purchased by mere man to clean his pipe. for the support of her very high collar?" At any rate, the fashionable au- thority suggests that these cleaners may be cut long enough to bend over at the ends and set under the wrong side of the collar, slipping the ends through the holes at the top and bottom, as is done with the supports bought at the jewelry store. After threading through. turn the end through again underneath and bend down the wire underneath. Four or half . dozen of these will mako your collar firm, thev are soft to the neck and they can be put in fresh and clean every day.

Believed That All His Enterprises Are

Paris, March ga sensation has
been caused by the, arrest Of q man
named Henri Rochelle here this eve
ing on the charge Of conducting suc
cessful swindles on an enormous
scale. Rochelle was at one time q
walter in an obscure French town. He
came to Paris to seek his fortune. in
which he was eminently successful 80
long as he could keep out Of the
clutches Of the law,
He founded the Franco-Spanish
bank and foated not less than q
dozen mining enterprises In which he
was q director and whose stock was
eagerly purchased BY French inves-
tors. It now develops that his methods
we're fraudulent and complaint against
him alleges that he has stolen over
81, 100000 through the medium OF
his various companies and societies.
He Is compared to the celebrated
Nine. Humbert, but with the Differ
sence that while Nine. Humbert Dor.
srowed money in order to pay interest
on previous loans, Rochette was con
}tinually organizing new companies
and issuing new stock. It is charged
that he manipulated the assets or his
companies by means Of false balance
sheets.
The mines promoted by Rochelle
were mostly coal and copper, located
in Spain. His capitalization aggregat-
ed more than $4,000, 900. Sixty
branches of his so-called enterprises
were strung through France.

state department here. where he at
tracted the attention Of Japanese ON
cials. Through Count Okuma he was
given the post OF confidential advisor
and counsel for the Japanese legation
ut Washington. For many years he
served the Japanese ministry here and
later was appointed to the independ-
ent post OF confidential advisor Of the
Japanese government at Seoul.
The latter appointment occurred at
the time OF the Russo-Japanese con
fict over Korea and extended
throughout the independent period
when Korean sovereignty disappeared
and Japan began a virtual protectirate
over the little kingdom. Throughout
this transaction and during the grave
crisis when Japanese troops put down
the rebellion Of the Koreans, Stevens
took a leading part in directing the
course Of Japanese procedure. His
wide experience, his familiarity with
international procedure and his tact
full. methods materially helped in
bringing calm to the %disordered re-
gions. The Koreans we're naturally
resentful at the official part Mr.. Stew
n had taken during this crisis. The
japanese government showed Its ap-
probation OF his services by bestow-
ing upon him a life pension. Now
that the Korean crisis is over, Mr..
Stevens wan transferred back to his
old position here, where he was about
to resume his duties as counsel and
advisor to the Japanese embassy.
