Substitute for Coffee.

A new substitute for coffee may turn
up in berry known as .'gaertnera."
The British consul at Reunion says that
at one time he has received many let
ters from merchants in England asking
for information respecting a shrub then
called '.mussaenda," the discovery of
which, it has been said in some COM
mercial journals, would deal severe
blow TO the coffee and chicory trade.
About two years ago rumor was
spread that the berry of this shrub
could be advanageously employed as
a substitute for coffee and chicory. Il
grows to about ten feet high, has very
few leaves, and its branches are wide
apart. The berries do not grow all
along the branches. as is the case with
coffee. but in punches at their extreme
ties. At present it is only met with in
the mountains. where it grows wild. It
might be produced on an extensive
scale; but with its inferiority in fra
GRANGE and color it could hardly COM
pete with coffee.

The Men and Women OF Bra1il.

The Flumenenses. as the people of
Rio are called, are in some ways polite
and we'll bred. in others rude aud vul-
gar. The men have a coarse habit of
rudely staring at every lady who passes
by, aud crowd on street corner will
never give way to let ladies pass
through. II two or more Brazilians
meet on the sidewalk and stop to talk
they coolly obstruct the pavement and
expect passers-by to take to the road
way. The tram-cars are not fit for q
lady to ride in-the men all smoke. and
usually villainous tobacco.
The Brazilian women are not pretty,
and in the presence of gentlemen are
usually shy. At a reception or soiree
the gentlemen gather in knots and talk
politics at the top of their voices. and
the ladies sit about and talk-I know
not what. for if a gentleman comes
near they instantly stop short.
The men of native birth, as a rule,
are low of stature and slender. But
there are Brazilians of girth and COM
manding presence. The Brazilian wo-
men are dark and not comparable to
our Northern beauties. They make
good mothers, though rather indulsent
but social usages allow them no liberty
and their days are monotonous aud
without excitement. Their daughters
are taught French. Music is a natural
gift. They can embroider little, but
the world and what goes on it is a
sealed book to them. Until they are
married they are never alone in gen.
tleman's company. A young man cam
not call often and manifest any particu-
lar preference for Young lady with
out being asked if his intentions are
serious. The mother has scarcely
more liberty than the daughter. Her
place is at home, and, be it said TO the
Brazilians' credit the husbands, as a
rule, are domestic in their habits.
Their evenings are spent at home or al
1 places of amusement with their wives
and children.-Rio .Lallciro Letter.
