tapaS and ancient native instruments,
greatly priced as curios nowadays, are
sometimes found on sale in the shops.
Once in a while good koa furniture, not
the modern article, but real brownish
stuff smoothed and polished by the
! sweat and wear of years of hard use in
a native home, comes in and in the
regular course of business goes out
again. One man recently found a
chest of drawers, a sort of chiffonier
in its way, of fine heavy koa and as
sound as when first put together, in one
of these stores. He paid $19 for the
article and it is doubtful if he could
be induced to sell it again for twenty
times that sum. He had it re-polished
and the interior of the drawers all
scraped out and vanished and says it
is the most unique article of furniture
he now possesses. One may also Sc
cure good pieces of Chinese furniture,
old style and serviceable and carved
in a thousand ways, which was brought
to Hawaii by some of the very first of
the Chinese merchants who came here.
THEY TELL THE TRUTH.
And the Chinese salesman does not
lie to you concerning the article he
sells. If some one has told him that
this calabash belonged to Maui, the
sun god,' he may tell you the same
thing but he does not expect to get a
larger sum for the article than he
would were he to have told you that
