Fol IN HAWAII.
This Peculiar Food Is to the Native a.
Bread Is 70 Us.


What bread is 10 the American or
European poi is to the native Tia
waiian. No meal is complete with
out it, and for the great majority
of the natives it forms the -princi-
pal article of diet. While they prob
ably could at the present time live
without this accustomed dish, the |
time once was, before the advent OF |
the whites 10 the islands and the IN
PRODUCTION of new foods, that life
without it wotld at least have been
precarious.
Poi is made from the tuberous
root of the taro plant, a species OF
the caladium family, Of which the
well known elephant ear plant Is
also a member The tuber, which
averages in size that of a large
sweet potato, is baked and after
ward pounded up with water until a
smooth white paste Is obtained,
much resembling wheat flour
paste, except that the color Is a
pale pink or purple, dependent
upon the variety of taro used. Ihls
paste is allowed to slightly ferment,
or sour. when it is ready for use:
In olden times each family prepared
its own poi, the work being done by
the men. as in fact were most other
cooking operations. At the present
time poi factories In which machin-
erv rrinds the taro and mikes 1t on
a large scale have largely supplant-
ed the old hand method. The CHI
nese of the territory have come to
be the leading manufacturers OF the
product.
Many Of the white residents OF
the islands eat poi to almost the ex-
tent as the natives, but the taste IS
largely acquired, and strangers sell
dom care for it. Poi has a high
!, food value, and, since it formed the
= principal article Of diet of the ole
Hawaiians, some persons have cred.
tied it with the splendid physical
: development of the race.

his dinner on market days at a small

him into a private room the table OF

feed. on passing the bar he rendered 2

The widow declined to take any pay

tore of the covering and shouted;

Scarcity Of United States Bonds.

(From Philadelphia Inuuirer.)
The attorney general of New York
has just made decision which is not
only Of Importance In itself, but
throws q good deal OF light, on pres
ent banking conditions. Formerly
the government required that United
states bonds only be deposited as Sc
curity for national bank Calculations.
Last year a change. was made where
by "other securities'' might be de-
posted, but under somewhat onerous
terms. Since then all the new cur
rency has borne the legend that it
was secured by national bonds or
other securities. AS fact, almost
all has been secured by matte
bonds and the holder Of the note has
no means Of determining which is
underlying his bank, promise to nay.
The decision referred to shows
omc1ally, what has long been suspect
ed, that national banks have been In
the habit Of borrowing government
bonds rather than purchasing them
IN the open market where the price
Is so high that to secure any large
amount means paying a large prem
1um. In New York the custom has

~ Sot :, peAny' leWythS Cns money ON ueS
posit at interest with an agreement
that the bonds may be repurchased
at any tine at the original price.
Thus the transfer Is nominal rather
than real; it is loan and not a pur-
chase. The attorney general, of New
York holds that this Is illegal and
the banks will be largely affected 10y
OF course, some sort Of adjustment
will be arranged, but the point to be
made at this time is that the Aldrich
bill OF last year has proven ineffec-
tive In practice. Few Of it's provis-
ions are ever availed Of and the most
important not at all. This means
j that next session We must have q bill
which will be fundamental and
thorough.

DIR. HALE'S RECOIIECTIONS or
THE WHITE HOUSE IN 1871.

-AI--Efhe- approach -nf-.his 80th
birthday shortly after his retirement
from his pastorate in Boston, and
a year before he was made chaplain
OF the senate, DR.. Hale visited
Washington and was invited to
luncheon at the White House. He
had not been in that historic build
ing for perhaps year or two; and
while waiting for the President to
appear he entertained the present
writer with some of those delight
full recollections which made his
conversation always charming and
noteworthy. He spoke of Washing.
ton as it was in 1870. He had been
interested In the political campaign
OF that year, which resulted In the
election or Harrison and Tyler.
Happening to lift his eyes, in the
room where he was waiting, to the
portraits of Tyler and Mrs. Tyler, he
recalled the time when it was his
custom to drop in very often In the
afternoon to have a cup of tea with
the lady of the White House. This
was in 1841, Harrison having died
few weeks after his inauguration
in March Of that year. DR.. HaIe's
picture Of the pleasant simplicity of
life at the White House when he
was a Washington correspondent.
90 years ago, was q detailed and WV
Id as IL he were portraying some
thing that happened the day before.
But this was not the end Of DR..
Hale's "reminiscences Of Mrs. Tyler,
aproDos Of the portrait hanging on
the wall before him. Twenty years
later, in 1851, he was attached to
the personal staff Of General Benja-
min F. Butler, Of Massachusetts. in
the capacity Of secretary, and had
charge. of General Buffers CORE
sDondence. General Butler was on
the James river In Virginia. One
day he received q letter from an
irate lady complaining that the Fed
eral troops were milking the COWS
on her plantation The lady prov
ed to be Mrs. Tyler, widow Of the
former President, who had been
kind to the youthful Hale at Wash
ington in the early 4O's. or course,
DR.. Hale was glad to follow General
Buffers instructions, and not only
to express regret, but to give Mrs.
Tyler every assurance that her
plantation should be unmolested. -
