The Garden.

Since the days when the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon formed. one of the
wonders of the world, people have
realized, in a vague, abstract way, that
the garden deserves an important
place in the world, and that it's care
should have a big place in the worlds
work.
Perhaps, if we are more p%retentious,
we order a tennis court laid out, and
decide that we will have a h%erbaceous
border, a flower-bed and something-or-
other called a "pergola."
Now there is a great diversity of
opinion as to this same pergola. Some
think it vas originally a balcony, 9TH
ers a terrace, still others an arbor.
The latter seems the popular concep-
ton of it, and so we have pergolas
stretching unbroken lengths from no.
where to the other place. Everything
is stiff and crowded.
But a ~welldesigned garden! What a
Joy forever it is! No far away there
is a charming and effective arrange
ment of what was, to begin with, but
a narrow, oblong piece. But a per-
COLA with an arch in the middle was
thrown across like the screen across
the chancel of a church. From a path
down the middle Of the garden, steps
led up to the pergola's arch, and then
the path was continued to the end be-
tween herbaceous borders. The end
was raised, and 10 gave the effect of
vista-of a beyond into which only the
Imagination could peer. In old Dutch
painting. there was almost always an
effect somewhere of gates ajar'-an
effect alluring, suggestive, and stimu.
lating. And this is the effect to be
striven for in our gardens.

Potatoes-An Appreciation.


If Sir Walter Raleigh had lone
nothing else, his discovery of the po-
tato plant should have protected him
from his untimely fate.
1t is interesting to note that pota-
toes, like corn, have adapted them
selves to hostile environment, for both
are sub-trOpical, and were originally
found in Mexico and Central America.
By means of cultivation they now
flourish a~bundantly as far north as
Maine, where, indeed, some of the
best varieties come from. For more
than 200 years it has been a necessary
article of food-so essential in Ire
land, for instance, that a. failure of
the potato crop means a famine and
fearful suffering.
The potato was, so little as a quar-
ter of a century ago, rather a slight
ed part of the farm products-given
to the women to dig, and the children
to hoe or weed or not, as they saw
fit. Now the crop is as ~aristocratic
and important as any raised, and this
year there were grown about 100000
900 bushels of potatoes, with a value
of nearly $12O, 600, 900.
Chemists tell us that the potato
contains less water than any other
vegetable, and that it is especially
rich in carbohydrate energy" Chill
dren Especially if they are thin,
should eat freely of potatoes, and the
ways in which they may be prepared
are many and varied, from the plain
boiled in the Jackets, to the elaborate
"au gratin" or escalloped.

peculiar to these islands.
"The influence of the foreign element had
long been felt in the islands, and it increased

advisers and these were usually men of abil-
ity, but in the end their own selfish ambitions
overtopped their idea of duty and gratitude
to the king and they gave over his interests
for their own.
THE missionary party grew into a powerful
organization that kept forcing itself onward
until in the end it had practical control of the
government. 1t finally forced upon the king
and the Hawaiian people a constitution that
was favorable to it's own interests and under
this constitution the king had virtually no
power, but was forced to sign whatever meas
ures the cabinet brought to him. It was known
as the .bayonet constitution because of the
absolute forcing of it upon the king.
ut was this nominal rulership that / succeed
ed to at the death of my brother, which event
occurred in 1891 and which was the result of a
broken heart. Although ! succeeded in Kidding
myself Of the old cabinet and getting a new
one after my accession / was newer able to gain
absolute control of the government because of
the limiting constitution and the activity of the
missionary party. Then finally came my be-
travail at the hands Of Minister stephens Of the
United States and my final overthrow. I can
never come to see any excuse for the un-
kin treatment to which ! was subjected by
Minister Stephens, the accredited representa-
tive Of 4 friendly power.

Kamehameha w, often accompanied us on
these excursions, and it was on one such that
in a fit of passion he shot and killed his Sec
rotary, a Mr.. Nelson. The power of the kings
in those days is shown by the fact that his act
was never questioned. Not much happened in
my youth to mar the beautiful conception l
had of life and this event made a profound and
sad impression on my mind
1T was in these days also that my lover,
Mr.. Dominis, pressed his suit and after many
difficulties our marriage was at last celebrated.
"It was after one of these trips when the
sorrow Of parting with the friends who had
been with us in our pleasures weighed heavily
upon me, that / wrote the words and music OF
the song Aloha oe,' which is the native Ha-
waiian for Love to YOU The song was in
tended as a farewell and after I sang it once
to some of my intimates and they obtained
the score it gained popularity, and to-day is
played at the departing of every ship from
the harbor and accompanied by the Hawaiian
custom of the decking of the departing friends
with ~garlands of lowers.
I'm 1874 the throne became vacant with the
death of Kamehameha ", that direct line hav-
ing no heir. In such emergencies it was the
custom that the legislative branch of the gov
eminent choose a successor by a direct vote Of
its members. Only the ~eligibles of the royal
family, who had equal or nearly equal claim
upon the throne, were considered possibilities
in these emergencies.
I'm this case my brother, Kalakaua, was
chosen to be king. He had long been an active
man in the government and had a wide person
al popularity. He was very fond Of society

school was kept by an American and his wife
whose names were Cooke, and the education
they gave us was not largely different from
that which might have been obtained in Amer
lea, and all the school sessions were conducted
entirely i'll English, so that at that time as
well as the rest of the royal children learned
to speak the tongue We now have adopted.
From this it will be seen that people from
the outside world were already getting some
thing of a hold upon the far Pacific islands.
Missionaries had introduced the Christian re-
l1glon long before, and it had been quite gen.
orally adopted. The warm-hearted people of
the islands had welcomed the foreigner with
open arms, had extended to him b%ountifuI hos
pitality. and had offered to him the plenty of
the islands, for there was always an easy
abundance for all. These outsiders had dropped
in from all the maritime nations of Europe,
from America, and from the far east. They
had tarried awhile and had come to so love
the sun-bathed islands that they had never
cared to leave them.
Zone event in the long years at the boarding
school was coupled with my after life and
stands out above everything else. A high
board fence divided the royal school from a
school for boys, right next door, and while we
were all playing our Hawaiian games one
day in our shaded yard, a lusty LAD some years
older than l and not of native blood limbed
upon the fence and looked over and smiled
direct down into my eyes, and l was greatly
embarrassed-and impressed. This same boy
/ came to know afterward as John o. Dominis.
when l had grown into wOmanhood I went
to live with my sister, Bernice, then Mrs.
Bishop, and at once there commenced days of
Joy and pleasure that were without end. The
young people of the royal family were informal
and accessible at that time and their enter
tainments were based upon nothing other than

walls, excursions, dances, musicals and all man

ropeans, as strangers within the gates, were
often included in these and became the init
mates of the royal family. Even in my girfhood
the outside influence was strongly felt on the
manner of entertainment.
But not SO in the homes Of the native
chiefs, to whose hospitable plantations In the

One of the troubles with wet shoes
is the pain attendant upon putting
them on again after a good soaking.
They are stif and .u~nyielding. To
avoid this, fill the shoes while wet
with scraps of old newspapers. Stun
them in tightly, holding the leather
stretched in place. They viii slip on
easily when dry.

interior excursions were
frequently made. To these
we went on horseback or
by boat. There was always
the welcome to- remain
weeks or months and the
throwing open of all his
possessions by the chief.
His retainers would drag
us about the country in
the old carts of the plan
tations and often we were
mired in a stream and
