Favorite Dish of Hawaii.
From Leslie's Weekly.


Native life is fast becoming a thing of
the past with the Hawaiians, and they are
adopting American manners and customs,
but it is doubtful whether they will ever
give up their favorite food. made from the
taro plant and known as poi In years
gone by each native took a particular
pride in producing his own poi. but now
adays it is made in factories, the work
being done almost wholly by the native
born Cinnamon, who receive 81 per day
for their la bors.
The writer was fortunate enough at
Iahaina 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 d turnip and the root is long
and f1eshy. This. after steaming, mus
be pounded into Il sort OF flour before
making. \ stone peStle is used. and often
it required hours to beat the root to the
proper consistency. When a certain stage
is reached water is added, and 1T is work
ed into thin paste. put into barrel
and allowed to ferment. The taste for
poi has to be acquired, and few. II any,
foreigners ever care for Il as food to me
it suggested sour starch. 1t is served on
the native table in Il huge wooden bowl
known as i calabash. from which 1t is
eaten with the fingers. each member of
the family dipping into the same dish.
The number of fingers used is measured
by the thickness of the poi--three fingers
being required for the thinnest and one
for that mixed to the consistency of mush.
The taro plant is easily cultivated (this
is also done by Chnamen). and am told
that one square mile of taro will feed
Il. 900 natives. Factory made poi. which
is pnkish- purple in color, costs 81 a bag.
about the size of flour sack, containing
an eighth of a barrel. 1t is nutritious.
cheap and fattening. Poi is the princi-
pal food of the lauas tnative feasts).
Roast pig is usually the peat on these
festive occasions.

sticking. They are then given a coat OF
thin plaster and this is covered with
coarse burlap to form a binder. The Sec
tionS are fitted together and, while they
are being slowly turned. more plaster is
poured in. The statue is cast in five
sections. namely the base or plinth, the
legs up to the waist, the bust and head
and the two arms. and these are joined
together by keys" of wood. The keys"
are so arranged that when the sections
are joined they will fit perfectly. SO that
they can be transferred to the foundry
knocked down."
The plaster having been poured in the
molds until it has reached a thickness Of
several inches, 1t is allowed to set,
and then the dainty task of removing the
mold begins. The clay was destroyed in
making the mold, now the mold must be
destroyed to get at the cast within. The
caster chips away at the mold with ham
mer and chisel. apparently regardless or
the fact that a valuable casting is under
meath. But he has d danger signal The
first coat put on the clay was colored
coat, possibly red. and this coat formed
the inside layer of the mold. therefore. 1t
lies between the cast and the outside layer
of the mold. When he strikes this layer
of colored plaster he knows he Is close
to the cast and proceeds with caution.
When the mold has been removed the
cast is ready to go to the foundry. AT
the foundry another mold Is made, this
one of sand. and consisting of large
number of sections. SO that. in fact. it
is a series of molds. These mol1s are
made of sand and baked. and finally put
together to form a larger mold. The
bronze casting is also made in five sec
gether The making of tho bronze cast
ing. however. has been described many
times and the process Is quite familiar
to d majority OF readers.

The Newspaper Man.
From the Louisville Courier Journal.


The successful newspaper man often re-
mains a newspaper man. despite chances
for greater prominence and greater COM
pensation in business or I'm another pro-
fession. finding contentment in congenial
work. Newspaper failures may be divided.
roughly. into two classes. They are the
men who cannot develop sufficient ability
TO make places for themselves either In
newspaper work or out of it. and men
who. thinking not of yesterday or tomor-
row, but only of today. do Indifferent
work and In the end reap they have
sown. To the latter class belong many
bright young men who become derelictS
and are pointed to as examples of the
.'demoralizing effect of journalistic work"
The good reporter must be student OF
mel, women and events. The cub
who has "a nose for news scents the
good as we'll as the bad in human ma
ture and in human institutions. To him
'ail the world is a stage" As he gets
his growth he becomes acquainted with
the players. not only as they strut In
the limelight. but also as they appear
behind the scenes. with robes and grease
paint and tinsel crown removed.
1t has been said that the world knows
nothing of its great men. The reporter
OF wide experience knows a great deal OF
some of them. and something of most
of them. He learns, of course. that some
of the greatest are the smallest, and the
SUM total of his knowledge makes him
sometimes an optimistic cynic: he is rare
ly a pessimist He gets a sense of pro-
portion and faculty for diagnosing"
men and discerning motives. In business
well as in politics diplomacy is use
full. and there is no better school OF
diplomacy than the newspaper office.

r ONDON hospital managers are con

which in more or less acute form
is vexing the managers of all the hospitals
In the United Kingdom, and few days
ago conference of representatives of al
the hospitals in the kingdom was held il

TO deal with 1t.
This problem is the abuse of the hos

nected with 1t. of course, is the whole
problem of hospital finance. A collatera
issue is the English system of medca

Ruse to Avoid Payment.
Dr. Heron said that he knew of cases
of persons who drove to the neighborhood
of the hospitals in cabs and motor cars

of the entrance. and approaching the hos
pital on foot.
There is not a city in the world where
the poor are better cared for in the way
of medical and surgical relief than In
London. The hospitals are palatial. and
they have the services of the greatest
specialists in the kingdom. and the finest
and most up-to-date equipment In the
world The rich. of course, can have all
that they require in their own homes
but for the people of moderate means who
require prolonged nursing, or serious
nothing In London. They cannot enter
the hospitals without the faint of pauper-
ism. because there Is no such thing as a
pay ward connected with the London
hospitals. with one exception. and the
accommodation there Is SO limited that
homes. : which are usually conducted by
doctors or nurses, are too expensive. the
average charge for board and nursing
being about $50 a week. and the sur

the whole. it is more expensive thing
to be i'll in England tnan in America.
There is no system of fixed fees The
doctor charges what he thirk ks his patient
can afford to pay. and he usually judges
of the patients ability to pay by the
size of the house in which he lVes. Ihus

man who has much more money but d
smaller family and who. therefore. oc-

undoubtedly which drives many persons
TO the out-patient departments of the free
hospitals.
So far no effort has been made to solve
the problem of the impatient who can al
ford to pay something, and who is usu-
ally willing to pay, by providing wards
in which he can pay. but the London
Hospital. which. by the way. is the larg-
est hospital In the world. has tried to
grapple with the problem of the out
patient. About a year and half ago 1t
instituted the system of demanding from
all out-patients. who could pay. the cost

to them, and already tue income from
this has amounted to $4,000 a year. al
