Small groceries and bakeshops in
Honolulu are largely in the hands of
Cinnamon, and their little provision
stores are dotted all over the island.
They are also the purveyors of fruits
and vegetables for the Honolulu house
holders. The country about Honolulu
IS much taken up with their immacu-
lately kept gardens. A pocket hand
kerchief would more than cover any
neglected or unfruitful portion of these
gardens. They labor in them infinitely
and assiduously, crowned with broad,
pagoda-like hats, carrying huge cans
OF water on yoke stick across their
shoulders down the burrows and sprink-
ling the vegetables on either side. In
marketing his produce the Chinaman
seeks no middleman, but Jokes him

vegetables are cheap and always album
dant, and owing to the equable eli
mate one crop ripens after the other

by no means pressing, as the tempera-
ture is rarely oppressive and is tenn
pered during the larger part of the
year by the northeast trade winds.
The demands upon the time and ener-
gies of business men are not excessive.
Life flows easily and equally in the
little community, Many residents of
Honolulu own cottages on the sea
beach at Waikiki, only a few miles
from Honolulu. The surf comes in
over the coral reef and breaks on a
shelving, sandy beach. Anoble grove
of cocoa-nut palms fringes the beach
and shades the cottages. Here the

sig t to find fruit blossoms, ripe fruit
and the intermediate stages all to-
gether on one tree. The Chinese are
the household servants, almost with
out exception, and are highly priced,
and also highly priced.
Living, on the whole, is rather dear
IN Honolulu, and there is large de-
pendence on canned goods, both for
meats and for fruits and vegetables,
such as are not successfully produced
IN the islands. The Honolulu fish
market is one of the sights of the
town. The dealers are mostly native
fishermen, and one may see here

have thus far proved themselves as
quiet, contented and law-abiding as
had the Chinese, who comprised the
largest part of the male population
after the growth of the sugar industry
had invited the use of their labor.
But it is surprising how little effect
all of these alien elements have in
changing the prevailing Anglo-Saxon
character Of the little country's insti-
tutions. All matters, industrial, COM
mercial, social and political, centre in
Honolulu. And Honolulu is a New
England town transplanted into the
tropics and empowered in palms ia
stead of elms. The selection of the
site of Honolulu was not merely for
tuitous. The deep bay, with the en-
trance locked by coral reef, opening
away from the prevailing trade winds,
makes it the one secure harbor in the
group, as it did when the New England
whalers first made it their rendezvous
for their annual expeditions. Even
Pearl River Harbor itself, which is
counted so valuable as q naval coaling
station for the United States, offers its
promise to the skilled eye OF the en-
gineer rather than to the heart of a
mariner seeking refuge from imme-
date storm. Honolulu alone boasts
OF finished wharves, to which seagoing
craft can come and unload and load
their cargoes. The so-called "esplan-
ade" in Honolulu presents scene of
hustle and activity at any time, with
fair showing of sailing vessels tied up
to Its wharves. The shipping and
commission houses are the most power

From ut. Clemens, Mich.

! Feb. l, 1898.
Having arrived safely at Mt. Glenn
ems, Mich, our destination, after hav-
ing made brief visits in West Union,
Minn., Carver and Minneapolis, /
will, with few lines, relate how we
are getting along in this corner of the
world. Mt. Clemens is rather. too
far away from us in northern Mime
sofa to be known for its healing
spring water. According to the an
al lysis that has been Made such water
is not found everywhere. Many are
here whose homes are nearer Hot
Springs, yet they COME to this place.
1t is estimated that about LOCO
strangers are here at present taking
baths, mostly from New York, Ohio
and Indiana. In summer it is moth
ing uncommon for the different bath
houses to have together between five
and six thousand guests. The city
which has about Cor 7, 900 inhabit-
ants, consists mostly of hotels and
boarding houses, and exists, it does
seem, solely on its baths. have not
yet seen single grain elevator here,
and yet, it is being said, that the very
best farming land in Michigan is
found in this vicinity, but the farmers
take their products BY team to De-
troit, which is only twenty miles
south from here. Electric street cars
run between this point and Detroit
every thirty minutes, and it looks to
me as if these cars traversed all roads
in the country. The land here is just
as fiat as in the Red River Valley,
rot a: cut was found in the road bed
between Chicago and Mt. Clemens,
distance Of about 800 miles.
81 have never seen a place where
they pay as little attention to politics
as right here. If anything is men
toned in that line, in the newspapers
or in conversation, it is Gov. (Potato)
Pingree, and that's all. He appears
to stand high with the common peo-
pie, and always to work for their best.
At present he is said to be very hard
on certain corporations in the state.
I do not know fully the particulars.
The weather: has. been very nice
since we arrived. !, The snow, which
was about six. inches deep a week ago,
is now almost gone. One never sees
storm windows and storm doors on
the houses from which 7 judge that it
never becomes as cold as in northern
Minnesota, but the weather. is very
damp and Jaw, so that southern
Michigan is not very healthy place
in the. winter. .'."'
We have not understood otherwise
than that Ella is improving with each

cure is taken, 20 Or p baths, I believe
she has obtained the best blood puri-
fer that can be found. Persons have
come here walking On crptches on ac-

of those taking baths here are such
