A moving, mountain, travelling at the rate of one inch per hour, is onrrying der vastation before and striking terror into the hearts of the inhabitants of the colliery, town of Now Tredegar, in Monmouthshire.
A landslide which piles up debris on the main roads to a height of 30 feet, doubles upa railway, smashes up telegraplis and telephones, stops railway traffic, converte meadows into lakes, and otherwise changes the face of the earth, is a pretty serious amir - and when it comes to wracking stracts of houses, overwholining collieries, and throwing thousands of men but of work, there is substantial cause for alarm, These are the kind of things that are going. on at New Tredegar. No particular cause: for the slice bo assigned.
Forty years ago a similar incident over- whelmed a dozen houses in the district, and from time to time
have been recurrences of the trouble, more especially in the wet weather. At the Powell Duffryn Company's No. 3 pit the tremen- d us machinery and ironwork engine-house, which had been e solid ground and concrete foundations, was on Monday driven against the retaining walls es if it had been a toy.

THE COTTON MILLS OF CHINA,
Mr J. W. Jamieson, British Commercial Attache in China, has prepared an interest- ing report on the condition of the cotton mills there.
Cotton spinning has been carried on all over Chins for over 1,000 years, especially
in the districts round the mouth of the Yang-tee and the level
of Hu-poh, where cotton is mainly grown. In 1891 » semi-official company, with Li Hung Chang at its head, began spinning on modern lince, and claimed to keep out oreigners who did not pay a royalty. In 1895 the Japanese treaty provided for free manufacturing in all the open ports of Chius, aud almost im- mediately after 1 mills were taken in

remarkable that the country imports large quantities of yarn much of it spun from her own fibre-while Chinese cotton is excellent, and the people have a natural aptitude for spinning. By comméti con. sent, says Mr Jamieson, the main cause of the ill-fortune of the Chinese mil's has: been their failure to obtain supplies of raw cotton at reasomble prices and in good condition. Rings and combinations of the Chinese middlemen have gradually forced up prices, so that aw cotton has to be bought at 90 per cent. above the price on which the calculations were origin- Ally based when foreign capital was about to embark on the milling enterprise. When the local mille cannot obtain enough native cotton they are obliged to import from India, and the anomaly is presented of a vast cotton growing country belag an importer of cotton from abroad, diverting her own mills from the purposes for which 896 they were started, and lowering the quality of the yarns produced. The limit of the amount of Chinese raw cotton available for export is put at 1,250,000 cwt, and this is now reached. Japan takes about 900,000 cwt. Another drawback to the local mille. is the adult oration of the raw cotton with water, a dishonest practice which it is there are difficult to abolish. In addition, the lack of experience, the competition of India and Japan, and financial difficulties. -Overland Mail,

From small things spring important ovonts. Nowhere is this worn adage-bet- ter exemplified than in hundries (ays the writer of an article entitled, Secrets Held by the Laundry, in Cassell's Saturday Journal for April)., Tho wash-tub is not suggestive of romance, yet many romances centre in it- those in which criminals are hunted down, those based on the eternal theme of love and passion, and even emedy is not absent. In the laundry is aeen the detective hot on the trail of: notorious villain; the despairing wife, seeking a clue to the whereabouts of her missing husband; the distracted genius, demanding his shirts because on" the cuff of one of them he has pencilled a imemorandum that is worth a fortune to hiin. Yot day after day, hour after hour, notwithstanding that in the tubs there may be pieces of linen which would serve to unravel & great mystery, or lay bare a pre- cious sceret, the soap-mcared women, betraying neither excitemen: nor curiosity, go ou rubbing and rubbing and rubbing.

The capitulation of a fortress is justifi- able on four grounds. The purpose for which it is maintained may cesse to exist: its defonces may be so weak as to lay it open to immediate opture by assault; ita AM- munition and food may be exhausted; and the condition of the garrison from wounds and sickness may turn the balance of hum. anity against that of military expediency.

It was to this end, according to Admiral Wiren, that the remnant of the Pacific squadron sought to preserve its existence

A FAIR START FOR BOYS.
K those times boys need ovory prepara
tion for business life, and those who have not attended school regularly aro handicapped at the start. My boy put in full attendances at school for years, said one proud father to a Bristol Echo reporter, and he was thus ready for business life afterwards. He was doing well until last Faster, when he met ruisfortune. But the sequel will show you what Dr Williams pink pills can do to put an invalid on his fest again,
At firsh he seemed restless. Then his right side became affected, and he lost the use of his right arm and leg. The trouble extended to his face, and his mouth was so drawn that I could scarcely toll what he was saying.
'He grew so bad that the chair shook n› ho sat on it, and he dropped anything that he was holding in his right hand. Flis
A rat-tat-tut on the floor,' right leg was never still. When seated his leg twitched all the time, and his foot kept up a rat-tat-fat on the floor."

Was bo able to walk?' asked the re- porter. Well, in a sort of way.' Mr Wall replied, but he could only pull or throw his right leg forward in a helpless fashion. It was terrible to see a boy of thirteen years apparently paralysed.'
Tes, interrupted the boy himself, a bright, intelligent youth, full of vigour, my leg kept twitching, and when it gave way under me I fell. My hand used to shake, too, and it got stiff.

My son had excellent medical atten ion,' continued Mr Wall, but he seemed to get nu botter. Then I remembered many cores by Dr Williams' pink pulls and I thought I would try then. I bought a bottle, and sure enough Henry began to improve. The twitching of leg and atm. lessened, and his hand became steady. Gradually the signs of paralysis vanished, and he became a robust boy.'
Mr Wall, who resides at 28 Four-street, Bedminster, Bristol, England, was en- thusiastic over the success achieved by Dr Willams pink pills in his boy's case, as well he might be. From St. Vitus' dance to paralysis and locomotor ataxy, these pills hare effected wonders in nervous dis orders. They enrich ard purify the blood, and feed the starved nerves through the blood,
eczcina,
Sciatics, rheumatism, tickets, anemia, decline and consumption have been cured repeatedly, as well as the ailmonts of ladies. The proprietors, Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Holborn-viaduct, London, will forward, post free, ono bottle for two shillings and ninepence, or six for thirteen and fine, but there is no difficulty in purchasing of any dealer, if card be taken to avoid substitutes-a care properly exercised by Mr Wall for his son's sake.
