It is cut into thin sheets by machinery which are used for surgeon's splints, hygienic insoles, tree protectors and calendars. As a splint it answers an admirable purpose, being both light and strong and capable of being molded into any shape desired after it has been immersed in hot water. Its pulp, also, makes an excellent paper. Another variety of yucca is the amole, or soap plant.

Paasch had taught him the trade thoroughly, from cutting out the insoles to running the bead-iron round the finished boot. As a forlorn hope, he resolved to call on Bob Watkins.
On the other side a man stood at a bench lasting the uppers to the insoles, and then pegging for dear life; near him sat a finisher, who shaved and blackened the rough edges, handing the finished article to a boy, who gave it a coat of gloss and placed it in the front of the window for inspection.

To sum up, if you wish to revel in colds, all that is necessary is to observe the following few and simple rules: Keep your windows shut. Avoid drafts as if they were a pestilence. Take no exercise between meals. Bathe seldom, and in warm water. Wear heavy flannels, chest-protectors, abdominal bandages, and electric insoles. Have no heat in your bedroom.
