FACTS ABOUT YERBA.
One of the Most Important and Useful
Products of Paraguay.

ITOOucCS OF
OF all the productions of Paraguay, the
most important and peculiar is the
yerba, which is derived from the twigs
and leaves of a bushy evergreen tree
which is scattered through the wild for
estS of the central Cordillera. The dis
tricts where it is most abundant are
called yerbales. At present it is not
the Jesuits, recognizing the advantages
of having the yerba close at hand, made
large plantations in the south, grove of
theirs near Santiago at the end of the
last century containing not less than 20,-
900 trees. The trees of the northern
yerbales yield finer tea than those of
the south; but the best of these, on ac-
count of their remoteness, are not
worked. For a time the yerbales were
a government monopoly, and yielded
large part of the public revenues. In
1880 the southern yerbales were granted
to a private firm for ten years on favor
able terms, and in 1886 nearly the whole
of the government yerbales were sold at
public auction.
Yerba itself is the name applied to
the dry and powdered leaf of the lick
Paraguayensis, tree which in size and
character bears close resemblance to
the orange tree. The shrub, which be-
longs to the holly family, grows to a
height of fifteen to twenty feet, and is
indigenous. 1t grows wild, not only in
Paraguay, but in parts of Brazil and the
Argentine Republic. The white flowers
grow in umbellated clusters, with
berry the size of pepper grain, and
containing four seeds. 1t contains an
aromatic oil, gluten and a portion Of
theme. 1t has not the delicacy of flavor,
and has more bitterness and astrin-
gency than China tea. The Paraguayan
yerba is considered superior to that
grown elsewhere; it is cheaper than cof-
fee or tea, selling in Asuncion at about
81 for twenty-five pounds. In the mar
ket at Buenos Ayres it sells at double
and nearly treble this price. 1t can be
prepared from the leaf in thirty-six
hours. Efforts to introduce it into Eu-
rope have failed; but it is used by eight
cen millions in Brazil, the River Plate,
Peru and Bolivia. The export from
Paraguay is worth about half a million
dollars per annum.-N. Y. Ledger.

Steam-Carriage for Roads.

In the French technical journal, La
Nature, there is described steam-car-
riage for common roads, which will car
ry three passengers. 1t has small
boiler of the vertical type, which works
at a pressure of one hundred and seventy
pounds on the square inch, and eyapo-
rates about thirteen gallons of water per
hour. The speed attained on a good
road is fifteen miles per hour, and
enough water can be carried tn last for
a run of twenty-five miles. The fuel
(coke) costs one-third of penny per
mile. The entire weight of rap. fuel,
watee AL passengers is twenty tNO hun.

PULLERS-IN AND PRICERS.
Men and Women Who Make Living in
Peculiar Way.


| Peculiar Way.
The ''puller-in" is one of the species
of New Yorker whom age does not
! withcr nor custom stale. Just as ore OF
coal is found to exist in beds that often
I follow narrow and well-defined lines, SC
4 the New York puller-in is observed to
+ exist in reasonably straight, very mar
4 row and not over-lengthy seam or streak
beginning at the Five Points, following
along .Xter street, turning at Park
row, and losing itself or terminating at
! the end of the first block in Division
street. The superficial signs that denote
the existence of this peculiar product
are secondhand clothing and brand new
millinery at popular prices. The pullers-
in of Baxter street and Park row are the
male prOprietorS and clerks of the sec
ond-hand clothing stores, and their
neighbors, the dealers in the very
cheapest first-hand clothing. The pull
ers-in of the millinery stores are all
women or girls. A puller-in is, of
course, person WHO brings customers
to store by strength of arms,
a commercial wrestler, physical SPELL
binder. There are those who assert that
although the pullers-in are never miss
ing from the sidewalks of the sickle
shaped route along Division, old Chat
ham and Baxter streets, it is none the
less true that they now use no other
force than that of seductive tone and
argument to engender trade. Others
assert that pulling-in is only more cir
cumSpectly carried on than in those days
of yore when it was all poor mans
clothes were worth to attempt to free
himself from these octopus-Hke sales
men. There is good reason for all fair
efforts to lull the public back to feel
ing of security in this respect, for not
long ago the popular complaints were so
loud, and the fights between dealers for
the capture of citizens were so energetic,
that the lively calling fell into disre-
pute in it's own seat and stronghold.
Whatever the state of the profession
may be to-day, the athletic clerks still
stand or walk before their stores, and
the people still call them pullers-in.
Quite as peculiar, in totally different
way, are the clever men and women who
are known as ''pricers, ''and who are en-
ployed by the proprietors of the great
shopping stores to learn the prices at
which their competitors are offering
goods. These 'pricers" must be very
talented, experienced and judicious
specialists. They must be able to Judge
of the quality and brand of an article,
as well as to discover its selling price.
They must hide their business from
those they spy upon as carefully and as
ingeniously as a detective works among
criminals. They must pretend to be
shoppers, messengers from invalids
wanting samples, eccentric ladies
who scarcely know what they want,
and so ask about many things. They
must in some cases work in one great
store and draw salaries from two, the
second salary being their pay for ac-
quainting rival with their employers

THE COLONIAL MAILS.
Renewal OF the Contract by New south
Wales.

Renewal OF the Contract by New South
Wales.
The telegraphic dispatches an
nouncing the award to the Oceanic
Steamship Company OF the contract
for carrying the colonial mails for
another year, commencing next Oct
ober, were confirmed by Spreckels
Bros, agents for the line,
For some time British and Cana
dian capitalists have been consid
ering the advisability of starting an
opposition line and obtaining the
contract for carrying the mails.
These projects have, however, been
laid at rest, for another year at
least, by the action of the New
South Wales Parliament, which has
decided to shoulder the entire
amount of the subsidy, S1S5,0OO.
Formerly this was divided, New
Zealand paying two-thirds and New
South Wales one-third of the
amount. 1t Is possible that New
Zealand may decide to come in
again when Parliament meets in
July. In case she does not, the
steamers Will go directly from Homo
lulu to Sydney without touching at
Auckland. This will shorten the
voyage seven days.
Another change in the present
route of the steamer is proposed, if
the United States can be induced to
grant a subsidy from the Samoan
fund of about $4,000, that is to run
the vessel directly to Apia, instead
of lutuila, which Is eighty miles
distant. At present, communication
from the islands with passing ships
is by means OF a little schooner man
ned by natives and is very uncer
tain.
Once in about every three trips no
mails are landed because the
schooner fails to show up If Apia
is made the stopping place communi-
cation will be easier and certain.
The company Will be put to an addi-
tional expense, but Will not derive a
corresponding benefit, hence the de
mand for the subsidy.
The apathy of the American Gov
eminent is severely commented upon
in the Colonies, which believe that
as the balance of trade is in favor of
this country, it should assist to at
least half the amount in maintaining
the line,-IS. T. Call.
