flourish here guavas, mangoes, figs, ba-

Then there is the taro plant, which

of all the native laziness of the
race, because it furnishes him
food with the least amount
Of labor. They are wrong. The Eskimo
Indian. inside the arctic circle, is quite
as indolent as the Kanaka, though he
has hard work getting food. The north

thinking about, or if they thought at

You see in the picture the taro plant,
from which is made the staple food of
the native Hawaiian, ''poi." It is not a

the part eaten. It is cooked, scraped
and pounded. It is then a pasty SUBJ

made into bread. To have the true fla

has a taste like a dish of cooked rolled

the dish and smacks his lips over it as

breadfruit, called so perhaps because it

will get an idea of the breadfruit. It
forms among the branches of trees like
a hickory nut, but its outer covering is
not hard. It is about as large as ones
double fists. The leaf of the breadfruit
tree is very beautiful. It is perhaps a
foot long, green and glossy, cut into

Honolulu looks like an old Florida
town, except that handsome buildings
are more numerous and there are not so
many flowers. After reading the seduc-
tive and beautifully printed advertising
pamphlets of some of the transportation
companies, pretty books showing maid
ems clad in flowers-more flowers than
anything else-the effect is distinctly
disappointing to a traveller who has
been in Florida and California. Per.
haps the people do not plant flowers so
generally as in nj own southern states.
The beautiful pictures you see in the
magazines of palm avenues and lawns
shaded with luxuriant tropical foliage
are, however, not at all overdrawn.
The palm avenues. the parks and the
grounds about private residences are
lovely as fairyland. The only things
the pictures do not show are the dust.
the heat and the mosquitoes.
White people here, like C%alifornians,
never weary Of extolling their climate,
whose temperature ranges between so
and 80 degrees the year round. To me,
even in December, it was at first dis
tinctly relaxing. Perhaps, though. that
was because between Oct. 8 and Thanks

from above the arctic circle to within
