Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-10-07

descriptive Of Maori life and customs, given at
the Y. M. G. A. Hall, on Sept. 10Th and 2sth,
by Mr.. Wherahiko Rawei, attracted audiences
which packed the building in every part, and
which throughout testified its appreciation by
hearty laughter and warm applause.
Standing before that large gathering, the rep.
resentative of fine but fast disappearing peo-
pie, the gifted New Zealander seemed to form
connecting link between the Maoris and our own
Hawaiian natives, for the two races undoubtedly
possess many similar characteristics, and the
welcome he received was at once spontaneous
and enthusiastic.

And while these rapidly changing scenes W
thrown by limelight upon the stage--the
views painting the description, the word
painting aiding the view-Rawei simply en-
tranced all present with Maori song and
quaint legend, enlivened now with ready wit
or humorous satire, shots that struck home,
but left no wounds; by little touches of
pathos, and sweet melody.
From seemingly inexhaustible stock of
valuable information, quaint witticsms and
Legendary lore he produced series of life like
picturesof one of the noblest, most war like
and Intellectually greatest Of the races of
Oceania. Illustrations of curious Maori GUS
toms, religious and social, were given and
artistic pictures of native men and maidens
displayed. Several reproductions appear in
this article, one of the most interesting being
that of Maori Tuhunga (native priest)
deliberately tattooed in accordance with
ancient custom. For to be plain.faced, that
is without tattoo marking, was in olden days
severe reproach to a Maori. Yet it is
painful and prolonged operation, and the
wounds or cuts made by the shell chise,
which was driven into the flesh with the
blow of a greensboro mallet take long to
heal.
The tatooing instrument "uhi," before
being applied to the skin is dipped in black
dye, and redipped for each stroke, blood
flowing freely. The dye in question is
solution Of burnt resin and wood, or the
awets, the latter caterpillar which, bur-
rowing in the vegetable soil, gets spore of
fungus between the folds of its neck, and,
unable to free ITSELF the insects body nour-
ishes the fungus, which vegetables and occa-
sions the death of the caterpillar by filling
the interior of the body with its roots, always
preserving its perfect form. When properly
charred this material yields very fine dark
dye, much priced by the Maori for the pur'
poses OF tattooing.
During the process of ornamentation

priests exercise jurisdiction over him.
Especially he must by no means

in liquid form through fnely-carved
trough or funnel.
The tattoo pattern (moko), varied as
it is, represents we'll nigh all the art the
people possess, for the Maori knows no
other form OF decoration, ana apparently
has no capacity for expressing himself
otherwise.
His wooden ef6gies, the tribal war
canoes, wharepunis, and various articles
of domestic use are all decorated with
somewhat similar work.

Maori artist are such that no two men
are ever tattooed alike, and the oper.

posses one or two features in common with that

One ofthe duties of Maori Tuhunga "priest"

The most useful food of the ice bear

down through the thick ice to the
water below. and into which they can
throw themselves by the least move

up as near as he deems safe and then
begins crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, II the weather be sunny

by shorter moments when it is scan

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Every love has infatuation in it. but
every infatuation hasn't love in it.
A woman is never quite so happy as
when she can be happy in sad way.
Lots wife probably looked back to
make sure she hadn't forgotten to lock
the back door.
There never was woman who look
ed anything but red-eyed and snufy
when she cried.
a woman never trusts man she
doesn't like but she often likes man
she doesn't trust.
You can generally tell about how a
girl felt when she got up that morn
ing by the way her hair looks.
Every girl thinks some man would
be surprised If he only knew how she
could love him il she only tried.
When man makes up his mind that
he has married the wrong woman, the
trouble generally is that he is the
wrong man.
A girls idea of politics is generally
shaped like something to beat eggs
with.
When girl is SO anxious for a man
that she will take up with anything.
