Panama Hats.

Most of the so-called Panama hats
are made in Ecuador. The material
is called paja toquilla and comes from
palm two or three meters high. The
leaves are cut just as they are about
to unfold, the veins taken out and the
fiber remaining is dipped for few
minutes in boiling water to which a
little lemon juice Is added for bleach
ing purposes. Each leaf has approxi-
mately 80 strands about 55 centime-
ters in length, although the best grade
reaches so centimeters. The hats can
be woven only during the part of the
day when the humidity is greatest.
since the straw of the best quality Is
not dampened. A man working six
hours day completes an ordinary hat
in six or seven days, but on very
fine one he spends a month and half;
1t is the labor therefore, which makes
the hats expensive. The most famous
are those of Monte Cristi; they sur
pass all others in fineness, lightness
and perfection.

SAY NEW RELIGION SPREADS
Chinese Reported to Take to Mixture
Of Christianity, Taolsm, Con-
fucIanIsm, and Buddhism.

1t is reported that new religion
termed the "Tai-i-chiao" has been es-
tablished among the Chinese people
Of the upper and middle classes and Is
rapidly gaining ground. Teachers of
the new creed state that 1t Is re-
ligion comprised of Buddhism. Con-
fucianism, Taoism and Roman Cathol-
icism and other Christian beliefs.
The god, which is the object of wor-
ship. is Taii-jen, a figure Of imagi-
nation. st. Mary and the monk, San
Tsang, who Is said to have brought
Buddhist scriptures to China from In
dia in the Tang dynasty, are also wor-
SHIPPED. The scriptures, which take
the place Of the Bible In Christianity,
are the Book of Lao-tze.
This new religion is now prevalent
throughout all provinces In China. It
was propagated in Shantung by, 1t is
said, a former premier, Chen Neng-
hsun, and he now has the following Of
many high and influential people. The
believers hold three regular meetings
q week, and 20 through ceremonies
which require more than four hours
for completion. In Peking. the relig-
ion Is said to be gaining ground among
the officials connected with the gov
ernment. Apart from new religions,
reports have been coming from differ
ent places for some time of revival
Of Buddhism, and not little money
Is being spent in re-decorating tenn

QUEEN CHOSE PEASANT MATE
One Of the Favorite Stories Of the
Many Found in Folklore Of
Bohemia.

Bohemian folklore contains many
interesting and inspiring stories,
but all of them express the national
feeling and the aspirations of sub
'ject people for independence. Now
that the World war established
Czecloslovakia as free state, the
national consciousness has redoubled
the interest in Bohemian history and
fiction.
favOrite story is of the Princess
Libussa youngest and wisest Of Prince
krok's three daughters. She was in
telligent, with perfect morals and ac-
tive in deeds for the welfare of her
people. Endowed as seeress, the
people chose her to be their ruler.
Libussa in return asked the people to
choose their king. They waived this
privilege, and the queen sent them far
away to find young peasant, who
would be blowing in u field with two
oxen, whose spots the queen described
The messengers brought back this man
and he became king
Together LibusSa and her husband
founded Prague (Praha), the queen
prophesying the city would become
world famous. The peasant king de-
fined its limits by throwing up fur
row with his plow. His shoes were
worn by kings for generations as a
pledge that they would protect the
interests of the peasants.

DEVOTED TO BRITISH CROWN
People Of the island Of Jersey Have
for Centuries Been Proud Of
Their Loyalty.

There Is no part of the kings do
minions which has shown more ac-
tive devotion than the island of Jer-

the king as the successor Of the dukes
of Normandy. Jersey elected to re-
main under the English crown in the
reign of John, when the rest Of Nor
mandy reverted to France
1t supported the Royalist cause dur
ing the Civil war and harbored Charles
ii when he was in exile; 1t banished
Victor Hugo because Of some sighting
remarks of his about Queen Victoria,
and during the late war 1t passed Its
own military service act, for which
there was very little need.
Moreover, not once nor twice In this
rough island story has armed in
