is A THRIVING INDUSTRY.
Manufacture of Panama Hats Furnishes
Employment For Thousands.

The manufacture of the so called pana-
ma straw hats from straw made OF palm
leaves is very Interesting, and, although
Central America is furnishing a great
many OF these expensive hats, the great
majority of them are made elsewhere, prin-
cipally at Malaga, Spain. Throughout
Andalusia palm grows almost wild and
furnishes a great deal Of wealth to this
country The fruit and the root serve for
nourishment; the kernel OF the fruit,
which Is extremely hard, furnishes but
tons, and the leaf IL also very valuable in
many respects. Roofs are matched with
these leaves; the fiber which is extracted
from them serves ms stuffing for furni-
ture and mattresses; the stems are peeled
and employed In basket making, and the
fiber is also used for brooms and ropes,
and finally for the imitation panama hats
mentioned above.
The last named industry Is of much i'm
portance, since not less than 8, 900 900 hats
are exported from the Malaga district,
most of the number going to New York
city Still, their manufacture IL entirely
carried ON by hand. For centuries past
these hats have been made In the same
way, the qualities varying from the ordi
nary hats worn by the Spanish peasants
and costing but few cents up to the fin
est qualities which come high even there
More than 10, 600 persons live exclusively
by braiding hats They are mainly WON
en- and children, the men helping only
when they have no other occupation. A
clever girl can make from five to six large
hats n day, and for the brsiding of ordi-
nary hats 25 to 80 cents is the wages usu-
ally paid. The finely woven panamas can
be made only by skilled hands, who at the
best can turn out two per week. They re-
ceive on an average 81 and 81 for each hat,
