HAWAIAN CALABASHES.
EXTRAORDINARY VALUATION OF
THOSE OF GREAT ANTIQUITY.
Wooden Bow!s, Especially if Old and
Patched, Are Very Highly Prized—
Prices Shock Tourists — Natives
Hunt for Calabashes in Caves.
The Honolulu (Hawaii) correspon
dent of the New York Herald writes:
“They are the gold and diamonds of
the Hawaiian people,” an old Ha
waiian told the Fire Commissioners
who are fixing the value of property
destroyed in the great fire of 1900. The
woman was referring only to the cala
bashes which she had lost in the fire,
and not to any precious jewelry or
metals, for there are no minerals to
be found in the islands.
Calabashes are placed before any
thing else in the eyes of the people
of Hawaii, not only by the natives, but
more particularly by the Kamiaines,
the old timers in the islands. Visit
ors who come to the island do not ap
preciate the value of the calabashes,
nor can they fathom the cause of the
high prices. The ‘ourist who comes
and tries to buy at a curio store a
wooden bowl highly polished, it is
true and finds that the prices range
from $5 to $2OO, is a trifle surprised,
and complains to his nearest friend
that the people here have been try
ing to rob the unsuspecting visitor.
And when he goes to a second store,
with his heart set on one of the wood
en bowls, and picks out a calabash
that looks worn and patched, in the
hope that it will come within the
limit of his pocketbook, he is amazed
and angry when an even higher price
is placed upon it. For the people here
much prefer a calabash with patches
as proof of its antiquity to the new
ones which the whites are turning
out in large numbers and foisting
upon the public as the genuine article.
The calabash is not peculiar to Ha
waii. They are found in many South
Sea islands, but it is only here that
they are appreciated as the “dia
monds and gold of Hawaii.”” There
are some collections here which are
not for sale at any price.
The calabashes which are valued
most are those of the greatest anti
quity. The aboriginal Hawaiian ac
complished wonders with wood in
the use of nothing more than a stone.
It is these stone fashioned calabashes
which are now most highly prized.
Blocks of wood, usually taken from
the largest trees, were used in the
manufacture of the calabash, the work
on which required weeks, and some
times months.
A stone adze was used by the dusky
native in hollowing out the interior
of the block of tree into a circle
shape. The handiwork was wonder
ful in some of those old calabashes,
the finish being much finer and pret
tier than on the handsomest piece
of furniture of modern make.
Generally the calabashes were made
in a circular shape, of various sizes,
varying from one inch to three feet
in diameter and of proportionate
depth. Such containers were used
for serving poi, the larger ones con
taining enough of the Hawaiian staff
of life for a dozen or more people, all
eating from the same bowl. Some of
these ancient calabashes are patched
and worn, the patch, which is made
with remarkable neatness, being hard
ly noticeable after the polish is put
on. The smaller wooden varieties of
circular shape were made to hold Ha
waiian desserts, and the smallest ones
for sal¢.
The old calabashes are greatly
prized, particularly since Hawaii be
came the home of so many white per
sons, who prize the beautiful carved
and polished pieces of wood more than
the natives. The demand for the
wooden utensils has increased so rap
idly that there are now natives who
spend their entire time in searching
for old caves in which catabashes
might be hidden. It was formerly the
custom to bury Hawaiians in caves,
generally inaccessible and guarded
over either by warriors or spirits,
and the personal property of the chief
was buried with him. ‘'There are
many of these caves in the islands,
all of voleanic origin and many still
undiscovered, so well did the old na
tives conceal the entrances to the
caves.
At Napoopoo, where Captain Cook
landed upon discovering the islands,
is a series of caves, the entrance
to which is below the sea level and
along the side of an abrupt cliff. Re
cently adventurous white men gained
an entrance to the old burial caves
here by means of a rope, and found
many calabashes of great rarity with
in. : !
One of the finest collection of cala
bashes in the city is owned by Prince
Cupid and Prince David, having for
merly been the property of King Kala
kaua. This is valued at $20,000. The
queen has a fine collection, as has also
some of the wealthier and older resi
dents of the city and territory. Many
of these collections of calabasheg
have a historical value, having been
handed down from generation to gen
eration since the time of the first
Kamahameha. There is one calabash
in the city now which is valued at
$5OO, having been once the property
of an early Kaual king centuries ago.
WHEN BOYS FIGHT.
Incident That Carries Every Man
Back to Barefoot Days.
Although victory, actual or pros:
spective, of course ngver was doubtfui
(either you were Wwinning, or the
other fellow was winning, according
as to which did the telling) at some
times it appeared to a spectator more
decisive than at others.
You were feeling very spunky that
noon when amid your preserves you
descried a stranger boy; but civilly
you challenged him. One may wit
ness two bluff but wary fox-terriers
thus approach each other, accost and
investigate.
“Hello!” you wagged; that is, said.
“Hello, yourself!” wagged he.
- “Say—what’s your name?” you in
quired, as you had every right to do.
“Puddin’ tame; ask me again an’ I'll
tell you the same,” he replied inso
lently. ’
At the unmerited bluff you stiffen.

“Better not give me any of your

“Pooh! What'll you do!” he growl.
ed back.
“I’ll show you what I'll do.”
“You couldn’t hurt a flea.”
“1 couldn't, couwldn’t 12"
“Naw, you couldn’t, ‘couldn’t 1.””
Walking circles around each other,
after this fashion, you and he sowed
crimination and recrimination, while
larger and larger waxed an audience
hopeful of seeing them spring up as
blows.
Only when the flurry came did you
discover too late how mucna taller and
stronger and older than you he was.
Your bleeding nose showed this to you
and cowed and weeping you reireated
in bad order.
“I’lll tell my big brother, and he'll
fix you!” you yowled threateningly.
“Aw, he ain’t got any big brother,”
jeered the heartless crowd, who saw
no pathos in your abused crgan.
This was true; yoa had none.
“I’ll tell my father, then,” you wail
ed angrily—another empty boast; and
still sniffling, and fearsomely gory,
with the handkerchiefs of yocureslf
and your one faithful companion
quite exhausted, you reached the
haven of a friendly pump.
Yet you had not been whipped—not
exactly.
“Got licked, didn’'t you?” unkindly
commented various friends and ece
mies.
“I didn’t either!” you asserted, in
dignantly. “I had to quit ’cause my
nose was bleedin’. It takes more’n
him to lick me.”
~ You would not admit as much as
| that.

'ed my nose. It bleeds awful easy. It
bleeds sometimes when you just look
at it—don’t it Hen?”—From Edwin L.
Sabin’s “In the Arena,” in the Cen-
