er and lives through a number of
years. The name is derived from the
fact that the edges of its radical leaves
always point north and south, and the
faces are therefore turned east and
west.
Hunters, travellers and horsemen on
the trackless prairies depend in great
part upon this plant to get their bear
ings. Even on dark nights it serves as
a guide. If the lost traveller can feel
the edges of the leaves, he can at once
locate the points of the compass.

Christmas Town Talk.

The Christmas number of Town Talk is
rich with features and stories appropriate
to the season. An odd and entertaining ad-
mixture of serious thought and expression
in the lighter vein is the editorial under
the head Christmas Reflections" It car
ries the reader from the hideous scene of
the looting Of Peking, when missiona ries
gathered rich souvenirs they will on
this Yuletide give their brethren in keep
ing with the Christian custom, to the rim
of the punch bowl, where the merry
gather with thoughts of peace and good
will toward men. 1.-The Saunterer'' has
some good stories to tell in the Christmas
Town Talk, poets have contributed cred
liable verse and well-known writer's have
added short stories Of unusual interest to
this altogether interesting issue.

T% HE American bark Roderich Dhu
arrived from the Hawaiian Islands
yesterday, making the best run OF
N the season-fourteen days. When
700 miles off port Coptain John
son thought he was going to break rec
ord, but contrary winds took possession
and he had to beat his way to 40 degrees
north. There he met the French bark
Genevive Molinos and the American bark
S. c. Allen. The captain of the Allen sig
nailed "all WE'LL" while the Molinos asked
what the prevailing winds, on the coast
were and what were the chances for fine
weather. Captain Johnson signaled back
that the prevailing winds at this time of
the year are southeast, but as to the
weather no man could make a guess.
The Roderick Dhu was at that time off
humboldt and the captain and crew had
all they wanted of wearing ship to meet
every change Of the wind. Captain john
son worked his way down the coast, while
the Molinos and Allen stood off shore and
are now probably working their way back
to San Francisco.
For five days after leaving Hilo,'' said
Captain Johnson yesterday, I'VE made
record breaking runs. The ship was in
good trim and every stitch of canvas
drew. For five days We averaged over
300 knots a day and I thought we would
make port in steamboat time and break
the record. Then came the change.

northwest breeze and then had to beat
back again. We're home for Christmas
anyhow, and that's more than any Of US

The Genevive Molinos, spoken by the
Roderick Dhu, is now out 123 days from
Havre in ballast. She will load wheat
here for Europe. The S. c.. Allen is 25
days out from Honolulu and has num-
ber of passengers. The remainder of the
sugar fleet which the Roderick Dhu beat
into port were the st. Katherine, now ouI
10 days from Hilo; Santiago and Mohican,
each 20 days out from Honolulu; Mauna
Ala, 10 days, and William H. Marston, Is
days from Honolulu, and Emily F. Whit
ney. % days from Kahului.
A number of passengers who had book
ed to come home on the Dhu changed
their minds when they found the ST.
Katherine was sailing five days earlier.
so they transferred their tickets in order
to be home before Christmas. The St.
the Dhu is at anchor in the bay and her
passengers ashore.

The conservatory, where the luncheon

center piece was a tall tree, quite desti-
tute Of foliage. with snow and ice effects
over il. At each plate was a favor in the
shape of a red poinsetCIa plant, the pot
Of which was draped in scarlet silk OF lhe
same shade. The other table was done
in red. and had a large Christmas t,ee
in the center. From the uppermOst
branches of the tree were streamers II
red satin ribbon reaching down to each
plate and holding a card. The faVors at
the red table were little pine trees Many
red carnations and Christmas berries
were used

Of the scene. Many of the most popular
