The Favorite Food of the Natives and
How 1t Is Made.


How 1t Is Made.
In years gone by each native Hawai-
ian took a particular pride In producing
his own poi "a food made from the
taro plant, but nowadays it is made
In factories the work being done al
most wholly by the native born China
men, who receive 81 per day for their
labOrS.
l was fortunate enough at Lahaina,
however, to see this staff of life made
In the old fashioned way. The taro
plant seems to be a cross between a
sweet potato and turnip, and the root
is long and fleshy. This, after steam
ing, must be pounded into a sort of
-four before mixing. A stone pestle is
used, and often it requires hours to
beat the root to the proper consisten-
cy. When certain stage is reached
water is added, and it is worked into
a thin paste, put into a barrel and al
lowed to ferment. The taste for poi
has to be acquired, and few if any
foreigners ever care for it as food. To
me it suggested sour starch. It Is
served on the native table In a huge
wooden bowl known as a calabash,
from which it is eaten with the fin
gers, each member of the family dip
ping into the same dish. The number
of fingers used is measured by the
thickness of the poi, three fingers be-
ing required for the thinnest and one
for that mixed to the consistency of
mush. The taro plant is easily Guilt
waited Ghis is also done by Chinamen),
and / am told that one square mile of
taro will feed $1,000 natives. Factory
made poi, which is pinkish purple in
color, costs 81 bag, about the size Of
a -four sack containing an eighth Of a
barrel. 1t is nutritious, cheap and fat
tening. Poi is the principal food Of
the lauas (native feasts). Roast pig
Is usually the meat on these festive
occasions.-Leslie's Weekly.

Of all the words cherished
in the recollection of man
Of all the names held sacred
in his memory, that of mother
falls upon his heart with the
mostsublime influence. How
sweet the recollection in after
years of a mothers tender
training, and who is there
that finds so relief in recur-
ring to the scenes of his in
fancy and youth gilded with
the recollections of a mothers
tenderness. And how many
have nobly owned, that to the
salutary influence then exert
ed, they must ascribe their
future success, their avoid
ance of evil, when no eyes
we're upon them, but which
rested on the heart, the Warn
ings, the prayers and tears of
a mother.
Others may love as fondly,
but never again while time is
ours, shall any ones love be
to us as fond, as tender, as
devoted, as was that of our
dear old trembling mother.
Through helpless infancy her
throbbing heart was our safe
protection and support, and
through the ills and maladies
Of childhood, her gentle hand
ministered and sOothed as
none other could. We feel
animated to struggle more
manfully in the great battle
of life, when we remember
our mothers holy council to
us in childhood's early dawn
and in the slippery paths of
youth. All! those words Of
tenderness those pious pre-
cepts softenod by a mother S
love-tOo much unheeded,
then disregarded-live now
frightened in memory, and
constitute our sweetest recol-
lectiOns. Her prayers for us
in children-her sparkling
crystal tears-made an i'm
preston on our young mind
as durable as time, and even
now they bid us walk in the
paths of rectitude.
But alas! how little do a
majority Of us appreciate a
mothers tenderness while
living! How needless are we
in youth of all her anxieties
and kindness! But when she
is dead and gone; when the
cares and GOODNESS of the
world come whitening to our
hearts; when we experience
how hard it is to find true
sympathy, how few love us
for ourselves, how few will
befriend us in our misfortune,
then we think of the mother
that loved us and to her our
hearts turn yearningly.
