Will Play THANKSGIVING.

The Washburn High school
and city teams have come to an
agreement to play a game on the
local grounds on Thanksgiving
day to determine which team can
play the better bali. Both teams
are confident of winning, the
high school depending entirely
on their speed and new plays
while the city boys believe that
with their beef they will be able
to play all around the little fell
lows from the high school.
Washburn fans are anxious to
see the two teams come together
to determine just which is the
better and the game will un-
doubtedly bring out a large
crowd. The High school have a
couple of games booked and after
these are played it will end their
playing for the season. The
city team still have a number OF
games to play.

journalistic Revenqes.

The curious boycott Of the press In
tha Berlin parliament had a precedent
r. the mother Of parliaments, the Brit.
ish house Of commons. A writer In
Harper's Weekly recalls that the per
son involved was no less a celebrity
than the late Daniel O'Connell. He
condemned the inaccuracy Of the par
fiamentary reports, but he forgot to
make allowance for acoustic difficulties
and the buzz Of Intervening converse
ton. He charged the reporters with
the malicious suppression Of his speech
es, and the gallery then refused to re-
port him at all. Dan stormed and
Numbered in vain. even moving that
the ringleaders be brought to the bar
Of the house. Finally he a~pologized.
and all was well. Lord Lyttleton in
1871 fell foul of the press in the same
way, and the late Lord Monteagle had
his name omitted from London news
paper reports for two years because he
said something the reporters did NOT
Nka.

The First "coin Sweater"

"Coin sweating" which SO often ff.
ures In the Old Bailey calendar, is a
very, very old crime. More than six
centuries before Christ there was a
coin sweater, one Alexander Of Byzan-
tium. He was chief officer Of the pub
lie treasury, and he amassed an Inn
mense and sudden fortune by clip
ping' the money in so skillful a man
ner that his frauds could only be dis
covered by weighing. The Byzantines
gave him the nickname of The File"
from his making such dextrous use OF
that tool, whence probably comes the
modern term of "fle' applied to
thieves. pickpockets and cunning hard

The Eavorite Food Ct the Natives and
ki0w 1t Is Made.

The Favorite Food Ct the Natives and
fi0w 1t Is Made.
In years gone by each native Hawai-
tan took q particular pride In producing
his own poi IA 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.
I 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 a turnip. and the root
Is long and feshy. This, after steam
ing, must he pounded into a sort of
-four before gmixing. A stone pestle IL
used, and often 1t requires hours to
beat the root to the proper cOnsisten-
cy. When a certain stage is reached
water is added, and 1t 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 1t as food. To
one it suggested sour starch. II is
served on the native table In a huge
wooden bowl known as a calabash,
from which 1t 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 cult
waited (this Ia also done by Chinamen),
and l am told that one square mile of
taro will feed $4,000 natives. Factory
made poi, which is pinkish purple in
color, costs 81 a bag, about the size OF
d -four sack containing an eighth of q
barrel. 1t is nutritious, cheap and fat
tening. Poi Is the principal food of
the lauas native f~easts). Roast pig
IS usually the meat on these festive
occasions.-Leslie's Weekly.
