On the four corners are steeples towel-
ing fa., above the rude roof The build
ing is hree stories high, the two upper
floors being reached by means of ladders.
At no time of the year is there stove in
the building and when the thermometer
begins to hover around the zero point
the old hermit seeks the friendly shell

before he constructed his rude house. 1t
Is said that when the old man first land

HATS MADE OF RICE STRAW.
A New Industry About to lie Estnb-
Ilshed by Japanese In the
Southern states.

According to Col. S. +. b. Morse, gen
eral traffic manager Of the Southern
Pacific railroad, the japanese colony
At Port Lavaca will establish plant
FOR the manufacture of mating and
hats from rice straw, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrnt. The Japan
csc are the pioneer rice growers of the
world, and cultivate the staple on u
more scientific basis than the Ameri-
can farmer. In Japan every product
of the rice crop is utilized to some pur-
pose, while in the United States the
planter relies entirely upon the rice
proper for his home.
"The japanese of Port Lavaca," said
Col Morse, will soon begin the manu-
facture of japanese mating and the
finest of hats from rice straw, and it is
only question of time till our own
rice planters in Texas and Louisiana
will take up this industry, thus making
the south the center Of supply for mat
ting and straw hats Of the finest tex
ture and manufacture. The best mat
tings in the world are made in Japan,
while the high grades OF the rice straw
hats are known the world over. There
are several kinds of grass growing
along the gulf, so the japanese tell me
that can be utilized for making mat
ting of good grade. They tell me 1t
is identical with that used in Japar
for this purpose, and there is no reason
why this should not become a paying
industry in Louisiana and Texas"
