Tbs Grand Prise area awarded by
(he International Jury to Singer Sew-
Sig-Machlos* for superior excellence
In design, construction, efficiency and
lor remarkable development nnd adsp-
mob u> every stitching process used
to ,ither the family or the factory.
Only One Orand Prize for sewing
machines was awarded at Paris, and
this distinction of absolutely superior
merit confirms the previous action of
(he International Jury at the World's
Columbian Exposition, In Chicago,
where Singer machines received fit
distinct swards, being more than were
received by all other kind* of sewing
machines combined.
Should It be possible that any of
our readers are unfamiliar with the
celebrated Singer Machine, we would
respectfully advise that they call at
any of tha Singer salesrooms which
can be found In all cities and most
towns In the United States.”

In the first directory of the city of
Hew York, published over 100 years
ago, tha only Vanderbilts whose names
appeared were not members of th*
old Commodore’s family ancestors.
They were Dutch, to be sure, and
spelled their name "Van der Blit.” The
most prominent among them was a
truckman. At that time the ancestors
of the preeent millionaire family were
prosperous farmers on Staten Island,
and their names did not belong in a
Mew York directory.

gig. Constantino Maes, the Italian
archaeologist, says that 3,000 bronze
tables, constituting the records of
Moms from Its foundation to the time
of Vespasian, ara buried In the marsh
Ot Ostia, near Rome, having been car-
ried to Ostia after being rescued from
the fire which devoured the capital In
the year <9 of the Christian era. sis.
Maes suggests that the marsh should
he completely drained in order to re-
cover this historic treasure.

Not even the snow can claim Im-
munity from the tax-collector. The
Prince of Palermo, the capital of Sic-
ily, owee his wealth chiefly to tao
snow, of which he has a monopoly.
The snow l* brought in at night In
baskets from the mountains of Italy
and is ahtppod to the towns and sold
Cor refrigerating purposes. Thus the
prince partly keeps up bis establish-
ment with the snow from heaven.

A “Tommy" Invalided from South
Africa, was heard giving a party of
admirers in n third-class railway car-
riage this vivid description of th# rad-

Elk Tenth Sold.
Flour hundred elk teeth were sold In
Bpokane, Wash., the other day for
gl.000. The demands of the members
of tbs Order of Elks and the growing
scarcity have Increased the value of
the teeth. Fourteen years ago a Mon-
tana man paid only *80 for an Indian
headdress that contained 800 elk teeth.
Last year h similar head dress con-
taining only 280 teeth sold tor 1200.

Philadelphia papers are responsible
for the statement that Lewis E. Beit-
ler, deputy secretary of the common
wealth, recently swam eight miles In

ing that It was undertaken on the spur
at the moment, looks a good deal like
a record performance, Mr. Beltler is
declared to have "finished strong," as
sportsmen say.

Panama Hats
Are Costly
Poverty-stricken, war-ravaged Cuba
revels In the expansive Panama hat
Americana either can't afford to wear
them or else do not ears to do so. In
1S99 Cubs took directly Panama hats
to the value of $41,019, and nearly all
of the hats sent to the United States,
valued at $39,477, were transhipped to
Cuba. The total value ot laat year's
exportations of Panama hats from
Ecuador was $100,870. Costa Rica,
Colombia and Mexico together took
$8,667 In value, and all other coun-
tries, except those mentioned, the
hslsnce of $11,723.
Our consul general In Guayaquil.
Ecipdor, Perry M. de Leon, says that
the Msnavl (Panama) hat was made
first In the province of Manavt, Ecua-
dor, about 276 years ago, by a native,
Francisco Delgado. The present cen-
ters of the Industry are Monte Crl3tl
and Jlpljapa, In the province of Mana-
vl, and Santa Alena and Cuenca, In
the provinces of Guayas and Azuay,
respectively. They came to be known
as Panama hats years ago, when that
city was a distributing center. In
Ecuador, Colombia and Central Amer-
ica the hat Is known by the natives
as "Jlpljapa" (pronounced Hlpy-hapa),
but they are made anywhere In Ecua-
dor, principally In the province of
Manavl (Mahn-ah-vee).
The plant Is a native grass or spa-
des of cane. It Is cultivated In the
provinces of Manavl and Guayas, and
Is known as “paja toqullla.” In ap-
pearance, it resembles the American
saw paimetto; It Is fan-llke In shape.
Low-lying, wet land is selected and
the seed planted In rows during the
rainy season. When the grass attains
a height of 4V4 or 6 feet It Is cut Just
before ripening, boiled In hot water,
and, after being thoroughly sun-dried.
Is assorted and ready for use.
The straw first Is selected, dampened
to make It pliable, and then finely di-
vided Into requisite widths, the llttls
finger or thumb nail being used for
the purpose. The plaiting begins at
the apex of the crown and Is contin-
ued In circular form until the hat Is
finished. The work Is carried on while
the atmosphere Is htunld, from about
midnight to 7 a. m. It the strand
breaks, it can be replaced and so plait-
ed as not to affect the work or hs visi-
ble to the naked aye. It requires from
three to five months* daily labor of
three hours a day to make one of the
finest hats, which would be a month
or n month nnd n half of eight-hour
days. Tha business In Its highest de-
velopment la really an art, requiring
patience, fine sight and special aklll—
qualifications few of the natives pos-
sets. The plaiting completed, the hat
Is washed In clean, cold water, costed
with a thin solution of gum, and pol-
ished' with dry powdered sulphur.
They are so pliable that they can be
rolled up without Injury and put la
one’s pocket; they will last for years
and can be cleaned repeatedly.
Natives of both saxes and all ages
are engaged In this work at odd times,
the business being a side Issue. Chil-
dren make from raw, undressed straw
about two ot the common hats a day.
The Cuenca hat wholesales at from
$7.92 to $26.40 a dozen; finest, $6.28 to
$6.60 each; the Manavl hat brings
$1.32 to $22 a dozen; finer hats, $4.40
to $17.60 each; fancy hats, $23 to $14
and more each.
Tne finest hats ever mads were by
a native named Palma and were ex-
hibited at the Paris exposition when
Napoleon III. was emperor. The two
best were bought by a Frenchman for
$193 and presented to the emperor and
Marshal MacMahon. Palma Is dead,
hut there are'two or three others who
possess equal skill.
Monotony In shape has been perhaps
one of the chief causes why the hats
have not been more popular, bnt It
dealers would take up the matter tha
natives could easily make any style
desired. Ladles’ hats may he worn suc-
cessive seasons; cleaned and re-
trimmed they appear perfectly new.
