Poi, the National Dish OF uaEaii


* great food of the natives or
Hawaii, is made from the taro plant, a
vegetable similar in size and shape to a
rutabaga turnip, which is grown in beds
kept constantly submerged in water, a
number of the beds being termed a taro
"patch." Owing to the genial character
of the climate the plant a be culti-
waited throughout the year. 1t is consid-
cred to be one of the most nutritious
foods known, and is specially adapted
for dyspeptics and persons troubled with
stomach disorders.
The process of making poi from the
plant is to first boil it and remoy the
skin, after which it is placed on large
wooden trays and thoroughly pounded
with pestles of stone, small quantities of
water being added from time to TINS
during the process Of maceration. An
hour or more of continual pounding is
required, when a substance like dough
results, known as paiai. In preparing
it for the table, the paiai is placed i'll a
wooden bowl, OF caIabash, and Is al
lowed to stand for a couple of days, un.
til fermentation sets in, when it becomes
poi, and tastes, to the unaccustomed
palate, like sour flour paste; but the
taro when boiled simply as a vegetable
is very palatable.
The natives eat poi sitting around a
large calabash and dipping into it with
their fingers. The dish is known as
either one, two or three finger poi, ac-
cording to its consistency. One finger
poi is the thickest form in which it is
served, and sufficient of 1t adheres to
one finger when dipped into it to admit
of its being conveyed to the mouth. A
thinner form of poi requires the use of
two fingers for the purpose-hence two
finger poi; ard yet another, still further
diluted, cannot be secured from the dish
without the use of three fingers, hence
its name. Dyspepsia is almost unknown
among the Kanakas, owing principally,
it is said, to the general use OF this sal.

A Remarkable Confederacy Of Savases

The ~Iroquois, as they were named by
| the French, or the Five Nations, as they
| called themselves, hung like a cloud over
the whole great continent. Their con-
federation was a natural one, for they
were of the same stock and spoke the
same language, and all attempts to sepa-
rate them had been in vain. Mohawks,
Cayugas, ~Onondagas, Oneidas, and Sene-
cas- were proud of their own totems aud
their own chiefs, but in war they were
Eroquis, and the enemy of one was the
enemy of all. Their numbers were small,
for they were never able to put two
thousand warriors in the field, and their
country was limited, for their villages
were scattered over the track which lies
between Lake Champlain and Lake On.
tario. But they were united, they were
cunning, they were desperately brave,
and they were fiercely aggressive and en-
ergetic. Holding a central position,
they struck out upon each side in turn,
never content with simply defeating an
adversary, but absolutely anuihilating
and destroying him, while holding all
the others in check by their diplomacy.
War was their business, and cruelty their
amusement. One by one they had turned
their arms against the various Nations
until for q space of YER d thousand
square miles none existed save by suffer-,
ance. They had swept away Hurons and
Huron missions in one fearful massacre.
They had destroyed the tribes of the
northwest, until even the distant Sacs
aud Foxes trembled at their NAME. They
had secured the whole country to west.
ward, until their scalping parties had
come into touch with their kinsmen the
Sioux, who were lords of the great plains,
even as they were of the great forests.
The New England Indians il the east,
and the Shawnees and Delawares further
south, paid tribute to them, and the ter
ror Of their arms had extended over the
borders of Maryland and Virginia. Never
perhaps in the worlds history has so
small a body of men dominated so large
ndistrict and for so long a time.
For half a century these tribes had
nursed a grudge towards the French,
since Champlain and some o. his follow.
ers had taken part with their enemies
against them. During all these years
they had brooded in their forest villages, |
flashing out now and again in some bor-
der outrage, but waiting for the most
part until their chance should come.
Aud now it seemed to them that it had
come. They had destroyed all the tribes
who might have allied themselves with
the white men. They had isolated them.
They had supplied themselves with good
guns and plenty of ammunition from the
Dutch aud English of New York. The
long thin line of French settlements lay
naked before them. They were gathered
in tie woods like hounds in leash, watt
ing for the orders of their chiefs which
should precipitate them with torch and
with tomahawk upon she belt of villages.

It is said that the strongest opposition

That settling up a country diminishes
the intensity of the winters cold is
proven, maintains the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, by the case of Canada. From
1928 to 1887 Hudson's Bay was closed
on the average 184 days in every year;
during the last ten years it has been
closed only 172 days in each year. OF
course, there are some years when the
closing is a little earlier and others when
it is delayed a few days, but a period of
ten years is long enough to give q fair
average, and the mitigation of the tenn
perature is thus shown to be quite per,
ceptible.

Among the hopeful features in New
Mexico is thu fact that the public school
system is growing in favor. While not
long gince there were no public school
buildings even in such cities as Albu.
qucrque and Las Vegas, there are now
four in Albuquerque, costing about
$40, 900, and a high school building is
soon to be put up at a cost of $4,000.
Las Vegas is not far behind. Each
county has a superintendent Of schools.

the progress has been confined to the

Row Rapidly We Think.

Helmholz showed that a wave of
thought would require about a minute to
travel a mile of nerve, and Hersch found
that a touch on thesface was recognized
by the brain aud responded to by q
manual signal in the seventh of a second.
He also found that toe speed of sense
differed for different organs, the sense of
hearing being responded to in the sixth
of a second, while that of sigat required
one-ffth of a second to be felt aud sig
nailed. In all these cases the distance
traversed was about the same, so the in
ference is that images travel more slowly
than sound OF touch. 1t still remained,
however, to show the portion of this
interval taken up by the action of the
brain.
