the fists after the manner of the pu'

hats which sell in London, Paris, New
York or Chicago for $50, 800, or even
$500. One hears the story that the best
hats are woven under water that Is
heated almost to the boiling point, and
that it requires months to produce the
finished article, and hence the high
price. Such stories are good enough to
laugh at, but are not worthy of credit,
for no hat is ever thus produced. Mois-
ture and a high temperature are quite
essential conditions for the production
of the best hats, some Of the finest be-
ing woven at night either by candle or
moonlight when the moisture and heat
are at the most favorable state.
Until few years ago practically all
the Panama hats were made at Jipijapa,
in Ecuador, but now there is extensive
hat weaving at Monte Christi, at higher
altitude Men, women and children sit
about the yard or in the doorways OF
their bamboo houses, weaving the hats
over WOODEN blocks placed between their
knees In early morning and evening
the best climatic conditions are found.
and 1t is then that most of the work is
done During the heat OF the day the
straw becomes too brittle for safe and
successful manipulation. but water is
never used upon the straw, the weavers,
however, occasionally dipping their
fingers in a convenient jar of water sit
ting before them.

the seeds Of this palm and are usually a
month in doing it. In about three months
the leaves, pleated like fan, are borne
on three-cornered stalks to IA feet
high. These leaves are about three feet
I'm diameter, and cut into four or five d.
visions they are gathered while they are
young and stiff and the parallel veins are
removed.
The Indians call the straw ripe when
&C Is about the thickness of Sugar cane.
They remove the outer husk of green,
split the snow white leaf into shreds, but
do not separate them at the stalk ends
Then they cover 1t with boiling water for
about half an hour and bleach 1t in the
sun for "a hours. It requires about one
dollars worth of straw for a hat, and no
hat weaver ever buys more than enough
straw at time for one hat.
The straw-which grows at Jipijapa-
is now being shipped to Brussels and to
Epinal, France, where Jealous manu-
facturers have proved that quicker and
cheaper results from work can be OBJ
tanned from the peasants there than
through the doubtful channels of Ecu
adoriap labor.

sAvAGEs USED ELEVATORS.
Employed, too, Many Other oontriv-
ances Considered Modern,


The first knife was, of course, a
flint flake, and the earliest spoon a
shell, to which primitive man learned
in the course of ages to fasten handle
of wood.
Such articles as these, together with
hammers, axes and needles, are easily
recognized as having come down to us
direct from the savages. 1t is, how
ever, more startling to find that such
comparatively modern invention as the
lift has been used for ages by tribes
whom we designate as savage. The
application of the principle OF the
modern vertical lift may be seen to-
day among the bee-hunters of the isl
and of Timor.
To get a honeycomb seventy feet
overhead with nothing between 1t
and the ground but the smooth and
branches trunk seems at first sight
impossible without ladders or ropes. 1t
is a simple matter for the Polynesian.
He cuts a few yards from the tough
stem of a creeper and forms Of it a
bush rope With this he makes a loop
around the trunk and his body. jerk
ing the loop q little above his head he
leans back and begins walking up, his
bare feet pressing against the trunk.
Repeating the operation he gradually
gains the top The whole ascent is
made without exhaustfng use of mus
Gle by utilizing the principle Of fric-
ton.

No Desire to Catch Her.

James #. Sweeney, of the Suffolk
(Mass.) bar, is noted for the brightness
and aptness of his recods. Recently in a
case woman was very refractory un-
der examination, and, although
the lawyer used all politeness and mild
ness, sharp and unsatisfactory replies
were received. Her meek and humble
husband was presentfn court.
Mr.. Sweeney tried another innocent
question, when the lady responded with
vindicitive fire flashing from her eyes:
"Mr. Lawyer, you needn't think you
can catch me; no, sir; you can't catch
me-" With his most pleasing smile Mr..
Sweeney responded: Madam, 1 haven't
the slightest desire to catch you, and
your husband looks to me as If he was
sorry he had succeeded" A ripple OF
laughter went round the courtroom, the
judge stroked his mustache to hide a
smile, and the crier raped for order

much time to spare and the refractory
button at the top of the waist would
not go into the button hole.
Miss milestone struggled with the
button. Suddenly she fell to the floor
with cry of pain. Her mother heard
her cry, and at once recognized the
symptoms. Miss Littlestone's right
arm hung limp by her side, and the
bone of the forearm protruded through
the flesh in an ugly manner. A physi-
clan found that the arm had been dis
located and also that there was frac-
ture of the funny bone" which covers
the nerve at the elbow.
Mrs. milestone decided that her
daughter must hereafter make her
toilet with the aid Of a maid, especial
ly when there are any questionably
dangerous methods to pursue, as in
the case of buttoning waists up the
back.

The Panama hat does not come from
Panama, as the name might lead one to
suppose, but from Ecuador. The In
