Keep a Firm Hand on the Tiller

The sails of boats are our emotions,
the rudders are our characters. Our
sails ARE breathed upon by gentle
zephyrs of affection and inclination, of
hope and love and of hate. They are
torn by sudden gusts of passion. We
are blown hither and yon by conflict
of quarreling winds, driven from our
course by angry squalls. The only
force by means of which we can coun-
teract the effect of the winds and hold
our course is the rudder of character.
We know that we shall he blown
upon all our lives by various influences,
good and bad; that our emotions
those white sails that respond to every
breeze-will be played upon by every
human appeal and desire. What will
become of the craft that has not firm
hand on the tiller'-Youth' s Compan-

HATS MADE AT NIGHT
Sunshine Makes the Straw for Panamas
Too Brittle to Work


Genuine Panama hats are made in
Ecuador to larger extent than in any
other country, and the process of manu-
facture is still not generally known.
The chief centers of the hat industry
IN the order of their Importance are
Monticristi and Jipijapa, in the prov
ince of Manavi; Santa Rosa and to a
limited extent in Guayaquil and Cuen-
ca. Thousands of natives of both
sexes are employed at weaving these
hats. The work is carried on from a
little after midnight to Z o'clock in
the morning, while the atmosphere is
humid, for the straw becomes brittle
during the day and cannot then be
handled.
After much preliminary preparation
the straw is very finely divided into
the required widths by the nail of the
little finger or thumb. A bunch of
straw is bound in the middle and placed
IN the center of a wooden mold, the
straws arranged radially and equally
distant from each other in pairs. The
plating begins at the apex of the
crown and continues round and round
until the hat is finished, care being ta-
ken that no straws are added while tine
crown is being made. Other straws,
however, are added while the brim and
border are being formed. On, the de-
gree of nicety with which the straws
are heightened depends the beauty and
durability of the hat. Should strand
be broken it can be replaced and so
plated as not to be noticed.
The finishing touches are put on by
trimming the brim, edging the border
and neatly fastening all projecting
ends of the straws so as to be invisible.
The hat is washed in clean, cold water,
coated with thin solution of gum and
polished with dry sulphur.-Argonaut.

Heat, Humidity and Working Power

What constitutes a vitiated atmo-
sphere, and wherein are the depressing
effects of "bad" aid to be found7 OF
late, temperature and humidity rather
than abnormal quantities of the re-
spired gases, carbon dioxid and oxygen,
or the presence Of harmful expired or
ganic products of respiration, have
been held responsible for the untoward
consequences of living under conditions
of poor ventilation. Drs. Lee and
Scott, of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons at Columbia University, have
recently reported definite objective
signs of physical inefficiency in individ.
uals subjected to an atmosphere of
high humidity and high temperature.
Measurements were made on the work
ing capacity, that is, the total amount
of work which excised muscles of ami
mails are capable of doing before ex-
haustion sets in. The subjects were
kept, to cite specific illustration, at
Fl G. (69.S FL, with an approximate
humidity of 81 per cent, in one case,
and at 33 G. OLA F), with humidity
of SO per cent, in the other. The con
trasts here quoted represent the dis.
tinctions between comfortable atmo-
spheric' conditions and the air of hot,
humid summer day. AS an outcome
there was marked diminution in both
the amount of work performed and the
period of working power under the in
huence of high temperature and humi1<
ity. Under these conditions, further,
more, the body temperature also rose
somewhat. The facts thus cited in the
opinion of HThe Journal of the Ame,i
can Medical Association confirm by
the unbiased testimony of direct ex-
pertinent what the sensations and
psychic responses of man have long
since intimated.

PLAYS PIANO In A COMA
Young woman's Condition q Mystery
to Her Physicians

Merchantville, N. j., Feb. 16.-Medi-
cal men are greatly interested in the
case of Miss Inez Lewis, Is years old,
who recently was taken in at school
near West Chester and for 10 days was
unconscious. She was brought to her
home in that condition and the attend
ing physician did not expect her to
survive. Some one tapped the keys of
piano and the notes seemed to cause
the girl to show for the first time some
knowledge of her surroundings. The
physician was told of this and had a
musician called in to play some of the
music that the patient liked best. The
effect was such that the girl spoke a
few words.
She was placed at the piano. and her
hands made to strike few notes and
when in this semi-conscious condition
she played a number of pieces of music.
The physicians of the town have been
watching her improvement and say that
they are unable to fathom how the
girl in her condition can play the piano.
