A BOWL OF KAVA.
4 POlynesian Drink Which i
Peculiar in its Preparation.

7
Kava is the native drink, and by
its use and the manner and ceremony
of its preparation being among the
most ancient customs of Polynesia,
it merits l think, short description.
Kava is an indigenous tree, more or
less plentiful throughout the South
Sea islands, the root of which is en-
ployed in the manufacture of the
drink. When visitors are present
much ceremony is observed in its
preparation. A beautiful round bowl
of dark colored wood is produced, its
interior shining with blue enamel
like coating, caused by the deposit of
the root. Generally speaking the
best bowl is the property of the vii
lage and much care is taken and
time spent in polishing and preserv-
ing the enamel in the interior.
Three young girls with shining
white teeth, chosen usually from
the "belles" of the village, seat them
selves around the bowl, each having
a piece of the kava root. This they
proceed to break up into small pieces
and putting them into their mouths,
chew the dry root until it is reduced
to a pulp, which is placed from time
to time in bowl. A sufficiency hav-
ing been thus prepared, water is
poured in and the whole mixture is
stirred up; punches of fine fiber are
then drawn through the liquid to
strain out any small pieces of the
root which may remain. The drink
is now complete, and is passed
around in cups of cocoanut shell to
the chiefs and principal people of the
assembly, in order of rank.
On my first attempt at drinking
kava, was strongly reminded of
soapsuds, but this unpleasant idea
wore off after a time. A refusal to
drink, or even not to drain the cup,
is considered a grave impoliteness.
The solution of the kava root pro-
duces a loss OF power in the lower
limbs. Many OF the European resi-.
dents drink it regularly, but OF
course it is then prepared in differ
ent Observation-Disclosures Review.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station l? One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways ant
Hosts also furnish light and power for
a radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine TO
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, ID
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
The HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY lie
now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at
short notice, and also has on hand q
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers, and all
Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Light
ing and Power Plants; also attention is
given to House and Marine Wiring.

Ihe Reaner Death.

News reached this city on Monday
about 9 o'clock of the death of Miss
Louisa Bell, the beloved daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert w. McKown.
The sad occurrence took place at the
family home in the town of Gerards-
town on Monday morning at an early
hour. The ending of the life of one
soyoung with future so bright and
full of happiness is sad indeed Had
she lived until the day following her
funeral she would have attained her
nineteenth birthday. During the last
school year she attended Miss Billings
school in Winchester and graduated
with the highest honors at the end of
the term. Soon after she returned
home she was taken with maIarial
troubles which resulted in typhoid
fever finally going to her brain and
ending her life after very serious i'll
ness of about three weeks. She was
loved by all who knew her and was
the idol of the hearts of her fond par
ents. The funeral, conducted by Rev
DR.. H. NJ White, of Winchester, took
place from the residence on Tuesday
at ? p. m. and was attended by very
large number of friends including
many from Martinsburg and Fred
erick County, Va. Theinterment was
in the Presbyterian cemetery at Ger
ardstown,-
