by which mountains and men receive
their names. I love to think of this
scene. with its sweet enthusiasm, its
love for nature. its enjoyment to the
full of life. rather than of the sad con-
fusion of the night which followed, or
of the great loss which has come to US
all. She was the mother of the univer-
sity. the kindest of helpers, the truest
of friends, the wisest, sanest and most
generous of all who have given their
abundance to the cause of learning.
Her life has given the university
richness of personality, wealth of
sweet remembrance that shall not die
away in all the long centuries.

HAWAIIAN POI
SUPPLY THREATENED

| Poi, the famous Hawaiian national
| DISH said George P. Cooke of Homo
lulu, a Yale student, who was born
in the island paradise, as also were
his parents and grandparents, sis be-
coming less and less eaten and will
soon be a thing only of tradition. The
quality of the article we are now able
to get is far below that of former
years.
The chief cause for the falling off
in the use of poi is small insect
which has lately made its appearance
! in the islands. These insects have at
tackled the roots of the Iaro plant,
from which poi is made, with almost
as disastrous effects as those left up
on cotton in the South by the boil
weevil and as is the case with the
CO. pes. it is equally difficult to
handle.
In the past poi has been the prin
cipal vegetable food not only of the
natives but of the American and Eu-
ropean families as we'll. In fact, so
general has been its use that it has
largely taken the place of bread. No
meal has been considered complete
without poi and it makes its appear
ance on the table three times a day,
like rice in China or grits in the
South.
THE American families prepare it
by first pounding it into a pulp and
then baking it in an oven or frying
it in small cakes. The usual native
style of preparation is by boiling.
They first pound it into pulp and
then set it out to dry, when it be-
comes a fine flour. This flour will
keep for several weeks. and when the
native wishes to dine be brings forth
a calabash. holding perhaps a half
gallon and to the poi -four adds water
until it reaches the desired consisten-
cy. The natives eat little else besides
poi
They always eat it with their fin
gers, and would speedily lose caste if
they used fork or spoon. The Hawai-
ian Classics poi in three grades-one-
finger, two-fnger, and three-finger.
The three-fingered variety is quite thin
and requires extreme deXterity. be-
ing attempted only by experts in this
style of eating
The veriest novice could successful
~ negotiate the One-nng ger grade, II
having the consistency of paste. The
two-finger poi can be eaten by any
body after little practice. and is the
vogue.
Americans there eat poi with their
fingers. too. just like the natives. that
is, if they are camping out. But of
course at home it is served in the
ordinary way.
The taro plant grows with compar-
atively little care. which just suits the
native Hawaiian. who is proverbial for
being the LATEST man on earth. It
has been cheap and within the reach
Of all. but the inroads of the insects
have been so great that it is getting
quite scarce. and the native eles out
his supply by mixing flour with it.

WESTERN POLITICIAN WON.

When Richard Olncy was secretary Of

opinion that appointees to the consular
service should speak the languages Of the
countries to which they were respectively
accredited, relates the Philadelphia Rec.
ord.
1t is said that when a certain breezy and
entciprising western politician who was

Arriving at q Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July lO.-(Special)-In
chs section Of Pennsylvania there 10 q
growing belief that for such Kidney Dis.
eases as Rheumatism and Lame Back
there is only one sure cure and that is
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This belief grows
from such cases as that of Mrs. M. l..
Dawson of this place. She tells the story
herself as follows:-
Il have suffered from Rheumatism for
thirty years and find that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done me more good than any
medicine | have ever taken. l was also
bothered with Lame Back and / can only
say that my back hasn't bothered me
sinoc ! took Dodd's Kidney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
TOOK two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonderful
if it were not that others are reporting
similar results daily. Kushequa is fast
s~rriving at a verdict that "Dodd's Kid
ncy Pills are the one sure cure for Rheu-
matism."

The average man at the present time has an entirely erroneous conception of it's real intent, for he regards it as 8 money-making institution, and that 1t is the prerogative or duty of it's chief officials, especially its president, to make money for the policy holders by hook or by crook. even if they have to enter Wall street and gamble in stocks to do so, whereas the real spirit and purpose of genuine life insurance is always self-denial. Analysed to its lowest terms, 1t is nothing more nor less than mutual sharing of losses among brethren. Surely an institution so divine in it's spirit and purpose should be kept as free as possible from the spirit of greed and dishonesty, and should be managed as wisely and as economically as possible. that the bur dens of the sympathizing burdenlbear- CTS may be as light as possible.
