Why Are Some People Always Late?

Why Are Some People Always Late?
They never look ahead nor think
People have been known to wait till
planting season, run to the grocery for
their seeds, and then repent over it for
~ months, rather than stop and think
what they will want for the garden.
Vick's seeds never disappoint, is the
verdict from the millions who have
planted them. If it is Flower or Vege-
table Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, or anything
in this line, make no mistake this year,
but send 10 cents for Vick's Floral
Guide, deduct the 10 cents from first
order, it costs nothing. This pioneer
catalogue contains three colored plates,
grandest novelties ever offered, 5000 in
cash premiums to those sending club
orders. $1,000 cash prizes at one of the

PANAMA HATS.
The Genuine Article and Some of the
limitations.

The Genuine Article and Some of the
limitations.
Panama hats are so named from the
circumstance OF their being shipped
from the port of Panama. They are
manufactured i'll Ecuador and the
neighboring states. The material used
is the fiber of the leaf of the screw
pine, which is related to the palms. It
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 seglnents
is ten-cleft, SO that when the leaf is
folded, as in the bud, there are eighty
layers.
The fiber of these leaves is finely
plated, and each hat consists of 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 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, which has to be constant
ly pressed with the breast
About two hundred thousand dozen
of these hats are made every year.
The price varies according to the firm
ness of the material and the quality of
the work. They are valued at from five
to one hundred dollars. -
Panama hats are much priced for
wear in the tropics, because of their
ightness 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 similar
acid, and exposing them to the sun,
their whiteness is easily restored.
In Australia there is manufactured
hat which is said to resem BILE the Pam
anna hat very closely. 1t is made from
the unexpanded leaves of a native
plant, which are immersed in boiling
water, and then dried. The fiber OBJ
tanned by this treatment is plated as in
South America.
Under the name of ''Chattahs, " a kind
of umbrella hat or sunshadc is made in
India of the leaves of palm or of tho
plantain leaf, Chattahs are worn by
the plowmen, ,cowkeepers and coolies of
Bengal and Assam. Youths Compan-

EXCESSIVE EXERCISE.
Disastrous Effects of Over Exc ting the
Muscular System.

Disastrous Effects of Over Exc ting the
Muscular System.
An English surgeon states that of five
thousand decrepit or aged soldiers that
have been brought under his notice,
fully eighty per cent. were suffering
from heart trouble in one form or am
other, due to forced exertion. He pre-
diets that as large percentage of the
athletes of to-day will be found twenty
five years hence to be the victims of
the same causes, engendered by muscu-
lar strains. With regard to the effect
of exercise on the prolongation of life,
it may be said that there are more peo-
pie living in France who have passed
the age of sixty than there arc in Eng
land, the home of athletic sports, and
there is probably no nation in Europe
more adverse to muscular cultivation
for its own sake than the French.
Great athletes die young, and mortal
ity list of Oxford Iuen who had rowed
in the varsity races shows that u COM
paratively small percentage of them
lived out the allotted time People
must recognize the difference between
athletic sports" as typifed by con-
tests, and rational exercise, as typifed
by walking, riding, skating and the like
in moderation. Moderation means
health; excess, disaster and disease.
Exercise carried to the point of great
eXertion is disastrous; exercise confined
within the limits of but sligh hit fatigue
is wholesome. Canada Health journal.

There is only one method by which a
young man can discover what position
in life he is best fitted to occupy. He
must try. He may be qualified to plan,
telead, to control, or his talent may be
simply executive, and of the kind that
assists in carrying out the ideas OF
other men. In either case his aid is
needed in the vast and diversified field
of labor presented by great and
growing country. The head and the
hand are equally requisite in every
branch of science and business, in all
the pursuits of actual life If the man
who ismerely expert of hand stands or
seems to stand on lower level than
he who plans largely and wisely, let
him not repine at that, for on the plane
where his capacities have placed him,
there is less responsibility and anxious
care than in the higher positions as
signed to more powerful and compre-
hensive intellects. Having found his

FINE FEATHERS.

they Are No Index to the Character of
the Bird.
Handsome is that handsome does"
is a very old saying, and we knew one
old lady who carried this idea so far as
to actually dislike her granddaughter's
superb cockatoo, because, though his
feathers were handsome, his voice was
disagreeable, and in her view a bird
that did not sing was not fulfilling
birds proper mission; in other words,
was not ''doing handsomely" No
amount of argument on this point was
of any avail. Handsome is that hand
some does" was the old ladys only re-
ply. But it may be questioned whether
the bird with fine feathers and no music
in his soul Tor voice. was not doing as
handsomely" in his way as the war
bling wren and sober nightingale in
theirs. At least we know that very
few birds possess both sweet voices and
beautiful feathers. The bright-winged
Baltimore oriole, the red breasted alder
man robin and the CHEEKY bobolink in
his black and white dress suit are the
only northern birds we can call to mind
which possess both attractions; and in
South America, where the forests are
brilliant with the flashing plumage Of
bright-hued birds, we Know of but. one
with any other voice than q hoarse or
piercing scream. This one, the CORFU.
piao, is a very sweet singer, though
shy, and only to be heard by early ris-
ing and patient listening, and his plum
age of red, gold, purple and black isre-
markably brilliant, even in that land of
gorgeous coloring.-H arper's Bazar.
