PANAMA HATS.
IEronn Mems Wear.l

lFrOm men s w odT.J
With Panama hats in such unprece-
dented demand as they are this season,
it is not surprising that much has been
written concerning them.
The plant from which is obtained the
material of which the hats are made is
commonly called the Panama Hat
Palm, although botanists do not group
it under the head of palms, classifying
it under the name cyclanthaceoe. The
botanical name of the particular species
with which we are concerned is Corfu
dovica plamata. The South American
natives call it Palma de Pima 1t is
Indigenous to parts Of Ecuador, Colon
bia, Peru, Brazil and Central Amer
ica-
Right here it may be well to define
writers in connection with this subject,
and which have appeared in advertise
ments in the daily papers. without their
meaning being clear.
The word Jipijaba is really the name
of an interior town in Ecuador, and
the natives in that part of the country
commonly speak of the Panama hat as
the Jipijaba hat. Another word that has
been frequently used is Manabi. This
is the name of a province in Ecuador,
and Manabf kat is also synonymous
with Panama hat. In sManabi Province
is the city Of Monte Cristi, where some
exceedingly fine hats come from.
The expression paja toQuilla has been
being the name Of the plant, but it is
the name Of the straw obtained from
the plant, as any one who knows Span
ish might readily have understood,
since the word paja means straw.
Many of our readers will be surprised
to know that this straw is made from
the fiat leaf, and not from the stalk
of the plant, for casual glance at the
exterior surface of a Panama hat would
give the impression that the hat was
a form
However, close scrutiny of the inner
surface of the hat will disclose the fact
that the fiber is not a cylinder.
The method of preparing the straw Is
as follows: Young plants, not over four
or five feet in height, are used for this
purpose. Only the leaves that are young
stiff and in prime condition can be used
These are split into narrow strips by
the native, who for this purpose uses
his finger nails. But the strips are not
separated at the stalk end. These
punches are then bleached in the sun

CHURCH FEUD DYING OUT.
Methodist and Methodist Church South
Working Toward Reunion.

The New York Tribune of today says:
AT special meeting of the Methodist
board of missions. held recently at the
Methodist Book Concern, No. I5U 5th ave-
nue., proposition was adopted whereby a
publishing house $ to be built in Shanghai
China, by the Methodist Episcopal Church
and the Methodist Episcopal Church South
Jointly. The action was made unanimous
The meeting, which was attended by many
bishops, clergymen and lay officers, was
encouraged TO look for greater fraternity
of interests in the two branches of the
church in the future on account of this
step.
No such harmony of interests" said a
prominent Methodist clergyman, between
these TWO great denominations of Method
ism has been seen since the crisis i'm lS44
split the church" 1t was pointed ont. as
further illustrating the growth of this bet
ter understanding, that a similar con-
tract has been effected in Mexico, where
the EVangelista Mexicana," a weekly
paper owned by the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, and the "'Abagado Cristia-
no, weekly owned by the Methodist
Episcopal Church, are TO be consolidated
into one weekly representing both branches.
1t is to be called "El Apologista Cristiano."
These two incidents are looked upon by
many as pointing to the time not far
distant, when the old breach brought on
in the forties by the slavery question shall
have disappeared.
