The hat is woven on a block which
Is held between the knees of the oper-
ator although some of the very coarse
hats are woven on the knee of the ma
tive too poor to own a hat block. Men,
women and children among the native
Indians are engaged in the weaving Of
the hats. To the children is entrusted
only the making of the cUarser grades,
and the youngsters become more skill
ful from year to year. and in time
some of them become experts, capable
of making the exceedingly fine hats.
Those who have long been engaged in
the handling of Panama hats know
from a glance at the button from what
locality the hat comes. The button is
the little central portion of the crown
of the hat at which point the weaving
begins and extends outward toward
the edge.
While d great deal has been written
about 500 and $3.50 hats, it must be
remembered that these are few in
number. When one takes INTO con-
sideration that a broken straw or a
straw not matching in color the rest of
the hat, or a knot showing makes the
hat defective, it will he realized that
there cannot be many of these eX-
tremely fine hats produced. The finish
ing of the hat is an operation requiring
much skill, because each of the over
tapping fbers has to be nicely turned
back into the edges of the crown and
trimmed off.
OF course most people in the trade
are by this time aware that the Pam
anna hats are not made i'm Panama at
all The great majority of the hats
made in Peru and Ecuador find their
way to Guayaquil, whence they are
shipped to Panama, and, after crossing
the isthmus, are shipped from Colon.
This is not true of the hats made in
Colombia, many of which are shipped
from Cartagena or Savanilla.
The great market and distributing
point for Panama hats is Havana, and
it is an interesting and curious fact
that most of the Panama hats sold in
New York go from South America to
Havana, via the United States in
transit This is because of the fact
that the steamers do not deviate from
their regular routes. Recently, how
ever, some shipments Of hats have
been landed in the United States with
out going to Havana and then back
again.

A NEW POISON.

The young shoots of the bamboo are
covered with a number of very fine
hairs that are seen, under the micro
scope, to be hollow and spiked like
bayOnets. The Detroit Free Press, in
an article about the strange use they
are put to, says: These hairs are COM
monty called bamboo poison by the
white men resident in Java, for the
reason that murder is frequently COM
mitted through their agency. When
JaVanese woman takes a fancy to a
European, according to an official
Dutch report, she will either have him
or poison him if she gets the chance.
She seeks any and every opportunity
of mixing these infinitesimal hairs
among his food, and they serve the
purpose of irritating the whole length
of the alimentary canal and setting up
malignant dysentery. 1t may take a
long time and many doses of this So
called poison to effect the purpose, but
the native woman does not tire and
death will surely result. The male ma
tive will also try this method of re-
venge for an affrOnt.

were killed or fatally injured by
lightning. OF these 291 were killed

under trees.
Most OF those who perished while
under trees would have been alive
to-day had they not sought such
shelter. Not ouly are trees danger

most equally dangerous to huddle
under machinery or grand stands,
especially in the vicinity of flag

The average number of lives lost
by lightning in this country So far
as recorded, is 800 a year.
The most remarkable fatality re-
corded was that of the death of II
persons from one discharge while
sheltering in a zinc lined shanty
beneath a river pier, in Chicago.
According to the statistics the
greatest mortality by lightning oc-

Was It Sinners ?

"This is faithful saying, and
worthy OF all acceptation that Christ
Jesus came into the world to save
sinners" Tim. 1:15. Just read
this verse over and over again and
see what lovely gospel verse it is.
1t has brought peace to many an
anxious heart and troubled consci-
ence. Let us briefly consider it.
First, the, saying. 1t is afaithful
saying, one on which we may rely
without fear. We hear startling
piece OF news one day, and perhaps
the next day it is contradicted. A
mistake had been made, false re-
port circulated. But not so with
this. it is faithful saying that the
Savior, Christ Jesus, came into the
world, Wondrous fact. l believe
that the readers will agree with
this truth as most every ones does.
But have you ever thought of His
purpose in coming, even to bring
salvation to a lost and ruined world.
He came not to judge the world
but to save it. Came where we
where that we might be where He
is. He came to save poor sinners.
All, that includes you, dear reader,
lnasmuch as all have sinned. But
perhaps you have never taken your
true place as sinner before God.
