MATE.
De scriptfon of the National Beverage OF
the Paraguayans.

Description of the National Beverage OF
the Paraguayans.
The word mate" though commonly
used by Europeans. and even occa-
sionally by South Americans. to desig-
nate the drink itself, is misnomer, its
proper Specification being the small,
dry, oblong gourd. generally dyed
black, and sometimes compelled by
bandaging while yet green to assume
a fantastical shape. out of which the
infusion of the '.yerba' itself or Par
aguayan tea" is taken. The leaves of
this tea plant, if an lex may be so de-
nominated, are gathered amid the
wide plantations of its growth on the
borders of, or within the tropics of,
Northern Paraguay, and having been
dried by careful and elaborate process,
of which, not having myself witnessed
it, omit the description, are reduced
to coarse, light green powder. With
this the gourd or mate is more than
half filled, and hot or boiling water
poured in upon it. Almost Immediately
afterward, with as little time LETT for
standing as NAV be. it is presented to
the drinker, who imbibes it through
silver tube. plain or ornamented, from
eight to nineteen inches in length; one
extremity is somewhat ffattened for
convenience of suction, the other ex-
pands into bulb, or 6onnbSild, pierced
with small holes, which acts as a
strainer to the liquid in which it is inn
mersed. The servant who has brought
it stands by waiting till the infusion
has been drawn out when he goes to
refill it. and returns to present the ap-
paratus to the next of the company in
turn, and so on, till after two or three
rounds sBastd," ''enough," or

The surface is leveled by the roller
best when it is slightly moist, but for
this use the roller is most serviceable
on grass lands and fall-sown fields
upon which stones may have been
headed by the frost. and so made to
otter distractions to the mower or
reaper. The roller is the worst possible
Implement to smooth and level uneven
hard soil, because it merely passes over
the surface with all its undulations, and
1t can only level the surface when the
ground Is full OF empty spaces under it,
as when sod land has been plowed and
the burrows have not been laid in COM
pact position. a heavy plank drawn
over the ground. either with or with
out number of short teeth in its under
surface and acting as a sort of scraper,
is the best thing we have used for level
ing the surface of field An Acme
narrow does this work perfectly, and
either this or the plank smoother should
always be used for this WORK in prefer
ence to the roller where the surface is
loose.
The compacting of the soil over the
seed IS the most important work that
can be done by the roller. And this is
necessary in all soils. But while it is
necessary 1T must be done with care
and Judgment, or mischief may result.
Freshly plowed so is so loose that the
surface of ground which has been
PloWed no more than five inches deep
is raised at least three inches above its
former level. This loose soil requires
time and moisture to settle it back in
Its former place. When seed issown in
such so it falls into the vacant spaces
and may not sprout at all; or if it does.
the spire and the rootlets become dry
from exposure to the air and perish.
1t is from this cause that the great loss
OF seed occurs. This fault may be
remedied, no doubt. by Thoroughly good
and sufficient narrowing; but this is
one of the labors of the farm which is
rarely done well or thoroughly, and so
the roller is used to cover its defects.
The roller presses the sol over the seed
and gives the seed a good bed in which
1T may terminate without failure. But
care must be exercised to avo d during
this work when the soil is wet or in
such condition that the rollers would
incrust the surface and prevent the
spire of the young grain from passing
through it.-Henry SteWart, in n. Y.

Stopped His Paper.

Once upon time certain man got
mad with the editor and stopped his
paper. The next week he sold his corn
at four cents below the market price
Then his property was sold for taxes,
because he didn't read the Sheriff s
sale. He was arrested and fined 50 for
going hunting on Sunday, and he paid
$50 tor a lot of forged notes that had
been advertised two weeks and the
public had been cautioned not to nego-
tiate for them. He then paid big
Irishman. with a foot like forge ham
mer, to kick him all the way to the
newspaper office, where he paid four
years subscription in advance. and
had the editor sign an agreement to
knock him down and rob him if he ever
ordered his paper stopped again.
Such is life without a newspaper.-N

THE ROLLER.

Circumstances Under Which the Imple-
ment Can BE Probably Used
Much has been said and written about
frming the soil over the seed. Awell-
known horticultural. Mr.. Peter Hend-
srson, first set people to thinking about
this. although a good many farmers
and gardeners had been practicfng it
Tor many years without taking any
pains to know why they did it. 1t was
q custom to firm the ground with roll
ers after seeding. and the trampling
with the feet over the rows in the
market gardens was merely the SUBJ
stitute for the roller. Farmers may
very usefully study the roller and its
effects in farm practice, because, like
all other things, the roller-good in its
place-may be seriously misplaced and
become exceed ngiy injurious. The
roller serves three purposes, viz, to
surface, and to compact the soil over
the seed. But there are certain condi-
lions under which the roller effects its
purposes usefully and others under
which it wholly fails and even does
serious harm. What these conditions
are we will attempt to discuss at the
present time.
Sods of certain kinds become cloddy
when turned by the pillow. Clay land
is especially apt to turn up in this way,
and the more so when the soil is too
wet or dry. But this sort of soil. being
very plastic in its nature. is apt to be-
come still more adhesive and to pack
into a sol d mass If it is rolled when it
contains too much moisture. We have
seen clay field SO misused by blowing
and rolling when it was too moist as
to become seriously injured, and the
damage was still unrepaired at the end
of ten years. This k nd of land is the
hardest of all to work and the farmer
whose farm is of this character of soil
needs to study with the utmost careful
ness. There is very narrow line in
deed which bounds the limit of safety
in regard to rolling such land as this,
and that is reached only when the soil
is so nearly dry that when it is crushed
it will fall apart and can not be made
adherent again. At any other time
than this rolling clay soil is worse than
useless. Sandy soils are also injured
at times by rolling. This is when the
land is at all wet. and the drier such
SOILS are the better the roller will serve
tire purpose for which it is required.
Indeed. excepting for the stiffest clay
soil, which IS the very hardest and
most exacting of all to work with the
roller, the drier the ground is the bet
ter it is broken and pulyerized.

Yale Notes.

There is slight scarlet fever scare at Trin- ity college, Hartford. The disease originat- ed in the family of the janitor, one member of which has died, and others have it. So far, however, only one of the students has been attacked.
 The candidates for the lacrosse team of Princeton have been practising regularly for nearly month. The team has finally been chosen as follows: Goal, H. Hodge 'S6; point, Nicholson 88; cover point, McKecknie S6; defense field, Ranney '86, Bell '85, S. Hodge 'SS; center, R. Hodge '86; attack, Riggs 's7, Gamble 's5 (captain), Spence 1855, Blakemore 'S6 and Eghert '86. Though the team as 8 whole and individually has it's faults, there are grounds for special encour agement. Already the twelve are not far behind the champion team of last year. They will leave for Baltimore Friday to play the Druids of that city on Saturday, the 9th. The base ball nine also, who play Yale here to-day, go directly from here to Providence to play Brown on the 11th. A large number of men will accompany the nine to New Haven.
 Yale will meet Harvard on the 18th in this city and an interesting game of base ball will no doubt be played.
 This is the season of the greatest interest and enjoyment in the student world and the weeks between now and the end of the col lege year are crowded with events, viz:
 Saturday, May g, Yale vs Princeton Wednesday. May 13 Yale vs Brown; Saturday, May Is, Yale vs. Harvard; Tuesday, May 19, junior society elections Thursday, May q, senior society elections; Satur- day, May 23 Yale 'S8 vs Harvard '88 and the same day the intercollegiate games are held in New York; Saturday, May 30 Yale ys.

Police Notes.

As the ten o'clock train was leaving Bridgeport for this city yesterday morning 8 lady informed Officer George Arnold that some one had stolen her pocketbook on the train from bag she carried on her arm. On the train were Daniel Murray and George W. Winslow, two young men employed by the New Haven Electric Light company, that the officer concluded were the guilty parties. On reaching this city the young men were taken into custody by Officer K ennedy at the request of Officer Arnold. At the police station they were searched and an old pocket book found on Murray contained just $25, which was ths exact amount claimed to have been stolen. Officer Arnold was not yet just satisfied of the guilt of the parties, and after further investigation by telephoning to Bridgeport and in other ways he satisfied himself that he had made & mistake, and at his request the young men were discharged from custody.
 Policeman Tighe, who testified in the City court that he saw Julius Hermann behind the bar at Turn Hall on the Sunday night that the Turner's were celebrating the Lin coin anniversary, says he does not fear the proposed perjury prosecution. He says he did not see MT. Hermann selling, but saw him standing behind the bar:
 Charles Doolittle was arrested on @ charge of neglecting his family. He gave bonds for his appearance before the City court.
 Marion Fox, who was drunk when arrest ed, is also charged with lascivious carriage. She is an old offender.
