Virginia Dialect.

1t is a remarkable fact that Irishmen

INFECTION DUE TO SHAVING.
What q Leading British Medical Journa
Says on the Subject.

Notwithstanding that the subject has
recently given rise TO some discussion
in the daily press. there can be no
reasonable doubt as TO the causation
of parasite sycosis. and the frequent
responsibility of BARRIERS for its pro-
pagation. says the London Lancet. We
will not deny that the disease may oc-
casionally arise from accidental con-
tact other than that of infected soap
and brush. Its close connection with
these, however, is affirmed by the
evidence of common and persistent
sequence of events. We need not
dwell upon the tenacity with which it
clings to the hair of the face. nor will
we examine the methods used by the
dermatologist for its destruction.
Sanitary cleanliness is here better than
any remedy, and the assertion of this
important fact is the result of the
somewhat lengthy newspaper cor
respondence already mentioned. 1t
has been impressed by different writer's
in various wavs. Thus we are advised
10 shave ourselves. to avoid the cheap
barber, to use precautions with brushes
and the like. Perhaps the advice first
given would prove the best. but the
professional operator is to many per-
sons indispensable. The truest wisdom
for oneself in such case is clearly 10
use due care in selecting barber.
Whatever he is not. he must be clean
and careful. 1t should not be forgot
ten that there are possible safeguards

PANAMA HATS.
They Are Manufactured Every Year &c
the Extent of coo, 900 Dozen.

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 tibers of these leaves are finely
plated, and each hat consists of a SIM
gle piece of work. The plating of the
hats is a slow and tiresOme process.
Coarse hats may be finished In two
or three days. but the fine ones
take as many months. The work is
begun ut the crown and finished at the
brnl The hat is made on block,
which is placed on the knees. and has
TO be constantly pressed with the
breast.
About 200. 900 dozens of these hats
are made every year. The price varies
according to the tirmness of the ma
terial and the quality of the work.
They are valued at from S. to 800.
Panama hats are much priced for
wear in the tropics because of their
lightness and fexibility. They may
be rolled up and put into the pocket
without injury. In the rainy season
they are apt to get black, but by wash
ing them with soap and water, treating
them with lime juice or any similal
acid, and exposing them to the sun
their whilcncss 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 immersed in
boiling water and then dried. The
fiber obtained by this treatment is
plated as in South America.
Under the name of "Chattahs" a
kind Of umbrella hat or sunshade is
made in India of the leaves of palm

ers, and coolies of Bengal and Assam.
