PANAMA'S COSTLY STRAW.
You May Pay $3.50 for Fashionable
Hat This Season.

FROM the New ork sun
An expert cannot make Panama hat
of the very best quality i'm less than
seven or eight months and even the
hats that are not so fine are matter
of months. Women do the weaving,
the men never having been able To
master the art in its perfection. The
industry is common in almost all tile
South American countries, but the
lions share of the best Panama straw
comes from Nenezuea.
The straw is woven from a marsh
grass, and the quality of the finished
product depends as much upon the
quality of the grass as upon the work
For the best straw, the grass is care
fully sorted and selected only the
finest stalks being chosen. Then the
woman who is to weave II sQuats her
self down beside big earthenware jar
of water, takes a handful of grass and
begins her work, under the surface of
the water Every inch of the hat is
woven under water, this care being
necessary in order to keep the grass
moist and prevent its splitting and
breaking during the plating.
Day after day, and month after
month, the woman sits by the water
jar, working with infinite care; and,
in seven, eight, or more probably nine
months, a hat is ready for the Ameri-
can or Englishman who has money to
burn. Few Panama hats of fine quality
are worn in South America. To be
sure. little of anything is worn by
large part of the population, but even
the hat wearing element cannot afford
the luxury of fine Panama.
In fact, few of the best hats ever
find their way into the general market.
They are picked up by individuals.
English and American travellers, Of
ficers on trading ships or men-of- war,
foreign Consuls or traders at home, and
Of course. the output is comparatively
small. 1t has been smaller than ever
within recent years, for the demand
has not been great enough to encour-
age the industry, and 1t has been with
the South American straw weavers as
with our Indian basket weavers. The
younger generation has not taken 10
the art so kindly as its forbears did,
and there are few of the young women
who can compete with their grand
mothers in weaving skill.
Ever on its native heath a good
| Panama Is expensive, one of good
| quality bringing about $40 In American
money and often more, though loosely
| woven, inferior straw hats may be had

Contractor Matthias H. Stipp was
yesterday awarded the contract for
building new freight depot for the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad COM
pany on the site now occupied by the
vacated Weston mill, which was sold

greatly facilitate and improve the
freight service on the road in this city.

GOLD DIADEMS FOR NUNS.

The Archbishop is to Crown Them Pub
 licly After Fifty Years of Good | Works.
 l For fifty years the life of Mother Genevieve, superior of the Sisters of the Mercy in Chicago, has been wholly de- voted to religious, charitable and educa- tional works. At Thanksgiving this year she and her two principal cowork- CTS, Mother Scholastica and Sister An gela, reach their golden jubilee in the | order, and in honor of the event such a celebration as the nuns in Chicago never held before has been arranged. The ceebratio will last four days. To the principal service in Xavier S academy 1000 priests and nuns have been invited A bishop will celebrate pontificial high mass, and a great choir will sing the mass music to the &C., compartment of a large orchestra, con- prised wholly of nuns.
 Archbishop Feehan finally will crown with gold diadems the three jubilarians who have fought and worked for half a century in the interest of faith, edu- cation and souls"
 The jubilee gifts to the order already received from friends and admirers of the three sisters reach many thousand dollars in value. A large marble altar has been erected by the nuns them- selves in their chapel to commemorate the event and "as meorial of gratitude for the blessings conferred dumring the fifty years of their religious life upon their beloved superior" The alumnae of the school have given a costly onyx, marble and brass altar rail.
 To the character of Mother Genevieve Catholics attributed the remarkabl ble progress and development of her order in Chicago. Besides caring for nearly 10000 children in parish schools in the city the Sisters manage a great hospi- tai in Calumet avenue and remark ably successful home for working wo- men of moderate means.-New York Sun.

ABOUT MOTHERs-IN-LAw.

| Their Very Faillngs Have Their Origin | in the Mother Love the World Re- veres.
 | All the sweetest sentiments of human | understanding have been twlned into garlands to deck the brow of mother- | hood. Poetry and song alike have eX- tolled the magnitude of mother love ] through many years, adding to praise of its real dignity an extravaganza of reverence which lifts entirely natural service to a position of almost divine
 supremacy among human actions. In inverse ratio to the exaltation of
 the real mother has come about the
 anomalous position of the mother-in-
 law. Ridlcule has invested this difficult
 rela tionship with added burdens, and the love of the world for al over not infrequently distorts the noblest con- captions held by her who is n mother by marrying only.
 Yet the very failings of the mother in-law have their origin in that mother love so revered by the world in general.
 The woman who gives her son-rthe son to whose infant needs she sacrificed rest and ease; whose development has been the dearest object of her life; whose maturity Is her grea test pride into the keeping of another woman,
 must be superhuman, indeed. if she suf- fers not a pang or two at the change. And the mother who sees her cher ished daughter trip forth joyously from
 her girlhood into the uncretain road of
 matrimony--is it not natural that Der eyes, looking by the light of experience
 beyond the glamour of bridal joy should be tear-dimmed instead of sparkling; should even pass over the virtues of her own son to note the de- fects from which may spring future woe for her child?
 Marrying and giving in marriage is one of the necessary chapters of our lives, and the tender sentiment of love has invested it for all eyes with a more fascinating grace and beauty than any other function of living, But if it is not exempt from the pain which Is the inevitable accompaniment of human happiness only in this case The pain is not always mingled with the pleas ure or IIlb CIlcI dGlbIS, " lS Ie~clNtu VI iOi the parents hearts-most undiluted for the mothers, beating a note of loss and desolation. through the rhythm of the wedding march, wherein the bride and groom hear only love and joy, and the world distinguishes only pleasure.
 The adaptability of woman's heart, rendering it's elastic enough to take in added members, sharing it's light and warmth impartially decreases with age and when the mother becomes a moth erin law time is required ere the place of the newcomer may be indisputably established For love and harmony among old and young in a family, for the making and keeping of that bond of real union between mothers and lov- CTS, mutual forbearance is the first step.
 A sympathetic understanding on the mothers part, an affectionate respect on the newcomers, will go far towards establishing relationship which the years will not only cement, but glorify. until the mothers and mothers law shall have no visible separation, but shall be loved and honored together by all their children-by blood and by law in beautiful quality.-Pittsburg Chron- Telegraph.
