“There Is more equality in America

“So?”
“Yes. sir. Everybody can have his
own automobile.”
Peculiar Belief.
Two centuries have passed since
the Scottish Judge Lord Monboddo
was born. In his “Origin and Prog-
ress of Language” he argued that hu-
man beings should be studied
other animals; but this doctrine seem-
ed to the contemporaries of Dr. John-
son so ridiculous that the wags based
many a jest upon it. His belief that
men got rid of their tails by sitting
upon them would now scarcely raise
a smile among anthropologists. Among
his more startling propositions was the
earnestly maintained one that the ou-
I rang-outang “was a class of the hu-
man species, and that its want
speech was merely accidental.”
For red, rough, chapped and bleed-
ing hands, dry, fissured, itching, burn-
J Ing palms, and painful finger-ends,
with shapeless nails, a one night Cuti-
I cura treatment works wonders. Di-
rections: Soak the hands, on retir-
ing, in hot water and Cuticura Soap.
Dry, anoint with Cuticura Ointment,
and wear soft bandages or old, loose
gloves during the night. These pure,
sweet and gentle emollients preserve
the handtv prevent redness, roughness
and chapplug, and Impart in a single
night that velvety softness and white-
ness so much desired by women. For
those whose occupations tend to In-
jure the hands, Cuticura Soap and Cu-
ticura Ointment are wonderful.

arrived for the course which was left out she
brought In all the plates and then carefully re-
moved them empty.
Because of the lack of literature there Is no
way to get any permanent Impression of the
charm of Hawaii except by a visit. Its history
one can read and can appreciate If one Is able to
adopt In the reading a sympathetic point of view.
The fact that thoroughly American Ideals per-
vade all phases of Island Industry, of modes of
living and of social intercourse may be accepted
and theoretically believed. But the Hawaiian
flavor, with which these Ideals are subtly Im
pregnated and that insensibly affects all who
have lived there, is something Indescribable,
something which seems to emanate from ths
misty hills, the whispering water*, the exquisite
vegetation, the low voices of the people. All this
may be grasped only throngh the senses. Ths
eyes must see from the shores at Waikiki ths
bright rarpet of water beyond which Diamond
Head so proudly stands at the gateway of ths
world beyond. The ears must catch the melody
of Hawaiian song and the swish of ths wind In
lbs palms. The scent of stephanoiis and plu-
maria and ginger must strike one as It staali
through tbs hibiscus hedges around saeluded gar
dens The whole body must respond to the ten
der caress of trade a lads that have blown acroe
a thousand miles of warm ocean. Only this I

here about a hundred of them live on and on
Some are blind; some deaf; all are decrepit.
They sit in the suu under the palm trees and
talk of times 70 years ago, quarrel happily and
vociferously, and sometimes marry—these octo- ’
geuariaus and nouogenarians. They have plenty
to eat. comfortable quarters, a weekly excursion
to church in an omnibus, and, life having become
something nearly approximate to heaven, they
see no valid reason for changing their state.
Not seldom do they pass the century mark and
many remember, or claim to remember, the death
of the first Kamehaineha.
Private gardens line all the streets, their luxu-
riant trees and shrubbery happily* masking the
houses themselves, most of which make no pre-
tense to anything but comfort. People live out
of doors, and the result is that broad vine cov-
ered verandas or "lanais”—the Hawaiian term
is used universally—are the most noticeable and
characteristic features of many of the houses.
The glory of the gardens is their palms—royal
palms and dates principally, but also wine palms
and fan palms—and their flowing trees. In the
spring the Poinciana regia makes huge flaming
umbrellas of orange or scarlet or crimson: the
Golden Shower, sometimes a stately tree, is hung
with its thousands of loose clusters of yellow
bells; the Cacia nodessa spreads its great sheavea
of shell pink and white blossoms like a glorified
apple tree; the Pride of India is a mist of laven-
der. But at all times of the year these trees
look well, and in addition to them there are gi-
gantic banyans throwing cool purple masses of
shade; algarobas with their feathery leaves,
through which the sunlight is pleasantly diluted
and the insignificant flowers of which supply the
tons of honey exported annually to England.
People work In Hawaii. For those whose
lots are cast permanently in the islands life is
not what ft appears superficially to the tourist,
one long, happy holiday. Nor is there here, as
in so many tropical countries, a three-hour hiatus
in the middle of the day, when men and women
take their siesta. Hours of business are what
they are in New York or Chicago, and life Is
■ planned—too completely perhaps—along northern
lines. In Honolulu men go usually to their clubs
to luncheon—the Pacific, the University or the
City club—talk business and hurry back to a
long afternoon in their offices. These clubs. It Is
fair to say, are delightfully arranged buildings
with windows on all sides to catch any breeze.
Of them the oldest Is the Pacific, formerly the
British club, on Alaska street. The house has
broad verandas on both floors and large, cool
rooms. The University club, more especially a
resort of younger men, has a pretty cottage near
the Hawaiian hotel Its membership Includes a
large number of army and navy officers, grad-
uates of West Point and Annapolis, as well as
men from American, English and Gertnsn univer-
sities. The City club, much more Inclusive In
membership, Is in a business block In the center
of the town. There are also of course, as In all
American cities, lodges of various orders, Masons,
Odd Fellows, Elks and Red Men.
While men are lunching at their* chibs their
wives give luncheon parties or go out to lunch-
sons—a form of social entertainment which
would seem more suited to a cold climate than
to troptsal midday. In ths late afternoon the
Country club tn Nuuanu valley or ths Fertile
Teaale court near the Executive building or the

ties occasionally and much more amusing moon-
light surfing and swimming parties. There is no
particular social season in Honolulu More peo-
ple are out of town in summer, but on the other
hand that is thfe time when boys are at home
with their friends from American colleges, and
they must be entertained day and night This,
therefore, is the time to see more of the distinc-
tively Hawaiian forms of amusement.
The ancient dances, or "hulas." are not often
seen, both because the art of dancing Is being
lost and because many of the dances, in the
motions, which make them up and in the words
which accompany them. are. from <a .civilized
point of view, Indecent Some of them are occa-
sionally given in an expurgated form at the
vaudeville theaters or certain selected dances. aS
entertainment after private “luaus." and no op-
portunity to see them should be neglected. They
are often marvelously graceful—more so than
are the Arab dances—Jand with the monotonous
beat of their musical accompaniment are very
poetical and quite in a class by themselves
Of good theaters the islands are destitute

Of Interest to tourists who
have never been in the Orient, however, there
are the Chinese and Japanese theaters with their
interminably long plays, often gorgeously cos-
tumed and probably well acted. Nor Is there
naturally much opportunity to hear good profea
sional musicians.
For the women of the place housekeeping Is
none of the easiest. Servants are _a.ll Orientals,
admirable as far as they go, but with inevitable
limitations. The Chinese are faithful, good
cooks, and immaculately clean in their work.
They are in general preferred to the Japanese,
even though during the Chinese New Year, for
three days in January or February, they ail de-
part on their annual holiday During these days
no bribe could make them work. They also at
that time have the habit of giving to the fam'
lies for whom tfiey work expensive and usually
hideous presents, which must be prominently dis-
played for months after An amusing part of the
Chinese New Year is the necessity for men of
calling on all the Chinese merchants of their
acquaintance—ceremonial calls where they are
regaled with queer, cloying sweetmeats and cham-
pagne. The Japanese are filling the ranks now
as house servants, since under the United States
immigration laws the Chinese population Is grad-
ually dwindling. They are far less reliable, but
are often excellent cooks, and Japanese maids
in their bright kimonos are picturesque about
the house. They can be taught almost anything,
and once taught never forget, but unfortunately
the knowledge acquired is often of the parrot
variety. For example, a lady gave a luncheon
and before the guests arrived showed her new
Japanese maid exactly how to serve each course
and what, plates to use. The following week
she gave another luncheon exactly like the first.

T THE time of (heir annexation to the
United States much was heard of tha
Hawaiian Islands as the key to the
Pacific, a name which, unlike most
tags, seems to be a fairly accurate de-
1 scription Situated between 19 and 23
degrees north latitude and between 154
degrees 40 minutes and 162 degrees
west longitude, they are at the Junc-
tion of the principal steamer routes
across the Pacific and indeed are the
only land of any extent within a radius
of 2,000 miles. This situation gives
j.' them, inevitably, great strategic and
I commercial importance. To the north
the nearest, land is Alaska with the chain of the
Aleutian islands.. 2,000 miles away; to the east,
the North American continent, 2,000 miles, and to
the west, the Philippine islands, 4.500 miles
Honoiulu Is dislant 3.100 miles from San Fran-
cisco, 2.460 miles from Victoria, B. 4,700 from
Manila, 3.400 from Yokohama 3,810 from Auck-
land and 4,110 from Sydney.
The American<our)st to the Hawaiian Islands
will probably take ship at San Francisco, al
fhtniMb the steamers from Vancouver are also
good He must remember that from a United
Rtates port it is possible to sail to Honolulu only
on a ship under American register, unless he has
a through ticket to the Orient and plans merely
to slop over The first day or two out of San
Francisco are usually cold, so that heavy wraps
arp essential, but as the rest of the trip is warm,
rooms on the starboard side, getting the trade
winds, are preferable
After the hills of the coast range have dropped
helow the horizon there Is almost nothing to see
—a whale perhaps, or porpoises, but no land anti
▼cry rarely a passing ship. But to the man who
iiss never been In the tropics the ocean, so ut-
terly different from the North Atlantic, is a reve-
lation There usually are do waves, as the At-
lantic traveler knows waves, but the whole sur-
face of the sea sways gently in great, silent,
Isr.y swells
The barber of Honolulu is not large. The en-
trance Is 35 feel deep and 400 feet wide; the
Inner harbor Is 35 feet deep and 900 feet wide,
width Is being extended to 1.200 feet.
Indeed, the name
“the sheltered” and is
priato. since there are few severe storms and
weather affects the safety of the harbor, which
in consequence is usually crowded with shipping,
bs (he steamer enters the channel people watch
the lapauesn and Hawaiian fishing boats, usually
dories painted some bright color, that contrast
with the gray tenders of the men-of-war. Near
the dock the water is alive with Hawaiian boys
swimming about, and shouting, ready to dive for
nickels and dimes, not one of which do they
miss They are marvelously dexterous swim-
mers and give Incoming passengers amusement
that, is fiieasanter and more unusual than look-
ing at the undoubtedly practical but also un-
doubtedly ugly warehouses and United State*
government storehouses which line the shore.
The streets. In so far as the uneven character
of the land permits, are laid out at right angles.
Fort street and Nuuanu avenue running from
the sea toward the mountains, and King, Hotel
noil Beretania streets, more or less parallel to
tiie coast, give, as being the principal thorough-
fares, sufficient Indication of the street plan. All
after leaving the business center pass between
luxuriant gardens which are never shut in by
wails, but are enclosed only by low hedges,
usually of red flowering hibiscus. In many parts
of the city the streets are bordered with tropical
flowering trees that are a glory In the late spring
mtuiths. Ao admit able electric car service covers
the entire district of Honoltriu, traversing or
creasing all the main streets
(W- puifltc buildings the first In importance Is
the Executive building, formerly the royal palace.
