PANAMA HATS


Panama hats are so named from the
circumstance of their being shipped
from the port of Panama. says the
Galveston Globe. They are manufact-
ured in Ecuador and the neighboring
states. The material used is the fiber
of the leaf of the screw pine, which is
related to the palms. 1t grows only
on the slopes of the Andes. The tree
is described as having no trunk. The
leaves are on slender stems that spring
from the ground. They are about two
feet long, fan-shaped. and four parted.
Each of the segments is ten-cleft. so
that when the leaf is folded, as in the
bud. there are eighty layers
The fibers of these leaves are finely
plated, and each hat consists of a sin
gle piece of work. The plating of the
hats is slow and tiresome process.
Coarse hats may be finished ia two
or three days, but the fine ones
take as many months. The work is
begun at the crown and finished at the
brim. The hat is made on block,
which is placed on the knees, and has
to be constantly pressed with the
breast.
About 200. 600 dozens of these hats
are made every year. The price varies
according to the tirmness of the ma
terial aud the quality of the work.
They are valued at from S. to 500.
Panama hats are much priced for
wear in the tropics, because Of their
lightness and hexibility. They may
be rolled up aud put into the pocket
without injury In the rainy season
they are apt to get black, but by wash
ing them with soap aud water treating
them with lime juice or any similar
acid, and exposing them to the sun
their Wilderness is easily restored.
In Australia there is manufactured
hat which is said to resemble the
Panama hat very closely. 1t is made
from the unexpanded leaves of a ma
tive plant. which are immt rsed in
boiling water and then dried. The
fiber obtained by this treatment is
plated as in South America.
Under the name of "Chattahs'
kind of umbrella hat or sunshade is
made in India of the leaves of a palm
or of the plantation leaf. Chattahs
are worn by the plowmen, cow-keep-
ers, and coolies of Bengal and Assam.

Virtue in Lemons.

A good deal has been said lately
about the beneficial use of lemons and
lemonade. The latest advice, given by
a Dublin medical contemporary, is how
to use the fruit and the beverage SO
that they will do the most good. Most
people know the value of bottle Of
lemonade before breakfast, but few
know that the benefit is more than
doubled by taking another at night
also. The way to get the better of a
bilious attack without i~wders or quiz
niue is to take the juice of one, two or
three lemons in as much water as will
make it pleasant to drink without sugar
before going to bed. In the morning on
rising, at least bali an hour before
breakfast, take the juice Of one lemon
in a tumblerful of ordinary or soda wa
ter. This will clear the system of all bile
withoutthe aid of calomel orspa waters.

Todd strange stories were told Of the

of "6ranther Willard saw one evening.
just after sunset and before twilight an
old man, with broad brimmed hat. blue
coat with brass buttons and old-faSh-
Toned knee breaches and polished shoe
buckles, coming out Of the old house.
His style Of apparel was thirty or forty
years behind the age. and ''Granther''
determined 20 speak 10 him.
The man came toward him. 10 that he
could see him very plainly. All at once
the visitor raised his right hand and he
vanished with lightning-like rapidity.
. A neighbor Of ''Granther's" once saw
an old woman leadinga little child She
walked quite rapidly, but the man tried
20 overtake her. When he got within
ten feet Of her she was gone into thin
air.
A man named Webb had, a short time
before the house was abandoned as a
tavern, undertaken to stay all night.
lie had heard that there was n door In
the room where he was 20 sleep that
would never stay shut lie took from
his wagon a piece Of halter strap, with
which he firmly secured the door.
Shortly after he had rome 10 bed he
heard footsteps outside the door, and a
noise as Of some one dragging chains
along the floor. All at once the room
became almost as light as day, and yet
it did not differ materially from day
light The door that he had so carefully
secured opened noiselessly OF It's wi
accord. apparently, and, while he could
see nothing, he could hear and feel that
footsteps were approaching his bed. lie
jumped out ON the floor, and again the
room was dark.
Then he could hear noises in the eel
lar, as II some one were digging and lay
ing up a stone wall. He got up, dressed
himself and awakened the landlord. and
told him that he could not stay there
any longer.
"Pshaw!' said the B~oniface, ''are you
foolish enough to DO frightened nj of
your sleep by a few rats?"
"Rats or not" said Webh 81 am
going" and he did go.
Several years after "Granther" Mill.
ard saw the sights there was an alarm
of fire one night, and the ''old Todd
tavern" was IN flames. But little effort
was made TO prevent the fire from de-
stroying it.
The next day some men went up to
look at the ruins. In the cellar there
appeared TO be a portion of the wall
that had been taken down and rclaid.
Several men pried at the wall with
sticks and it fell down, and behind the
wall was found n mans skeleton, bits
of blue cloth, some grey hair. and two or
three horseshoes. Old men then remem-
bered that forty years before they had
heard that a traveller and Spectator in
horses between the United States and
Canada had been seen in and about the
old tavern as lately as he had been
heard of anywhere. But as more than
n dozen different men had tried to keep
the tavern there was no means of fas-
tening the crime upon them.-Chicago
