Is 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat
ent Medicines?

Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, n. CT
1t may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend a proprietary
medicine. We have known Cham
berlains Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea
Remedy, We have used this medi.
cine in our family for 20 years and
have always found it reliable. We
do nat believe in depending implicit
ly on any medicine for cure, but we
do believe that if a bottle of Cham
berlains Diarrhea Remedy we're kept
on hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack, much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of physician
would not be required. j For sale by

DRINKERS OF YERBA.
A Beverage That Is Popular in
South America.
Peculiar Method of Making and
Drinking the Commonly Used
Observation-Disclosures Soon
Like II.

An effort was successfully made in
Russia few years ago to introduce as
fashionable drink the yerba mate, a
South American product of the nature
OF tea. Russians, being inveterate tea
drinkers, were not averse to trying n
new decoction, and mate became ia
vorite beverage, although it was even
tually served in the same way that
tea was, the samovar being found equal
ly useful for it, The fancy for this
drink is said to be spreading, owing to
ats decidedly soothing properties
While not so much of narcotic as cof-
Zee, it is equally stimulating and pos
sesses nutritive quality that is not
found in either tea or coffee. TO the
Jesuits who established in Paraguay
the first South American missions is
owing the preservation and spread of
the custom of taking mate. Before the
arrival of the Jesuits the Indians had
been mate drinkers, but had not culti-
waited the herb. The Spaniards ct first
believed the drinking of it to be per-
nicious habit, and forbade it, but when
analysis showed its medicinal proper
ties its use was sanctioned. Since then
it is seldom that a foreigner lives six
months in the country without becom-
ing mate lover.
Mate is properly the name of the
bowl or cup in which the herb is taken,
yerba being the name of the herb. The
ordinary bowls used are dried gourds,
polished. with an opening made in one
end. One of them is bound around the
mouth with silver; the tube used is
OF silver with perforated bulb at one
end. This end is inserted in the cup
after the yerba has been put in. Three
teaspoonfuls would be the allowance
for these cups, which are the size of a
good big orange. and hold perhaps half
q pint of liquid. A little cold water
"sets" the yerba, and then boiling water
is added, just as tea is made. The first
few draws at the tube cannot be swal-
lowed, as the yerba comes up; after
that only the liquid will rise.
In serving mate the servant or who
ever prepares it must take the first few
draws. The cup is then presented to
the guest, and in party OF people each
person is expected to partake from the
same cup and tube. This practice is ex-
tremely unpleasant to foreigners, and
sometimes debars them from learning
to take mate, for he who is mate
drinker and refuses the "bombilla"-
the tube-because others have used it,
will give mortal offense.
This drink and a dry biscuit consti-
tute the entire breakfast of the Spanish
speaking world of Chill, Paraguay, Uru-
quay, the Argentine Republic and a
great part of Brazil. Taken by the
poems, or laborers, at early dawn when
they start out, it is the only food they
get or care for until the midday meal
Some idea of its nutritive and sustain
ing qualities can thus be obtained

The Dumontelle Mine.

A correspondent at Montelle City,
on the western slope Of Mt. Grant,
writes as follows:
Hearing that friends in Hawthorne
and Vicinity are Interested in the
welfare of this camp, send few
lines to explain what we are doing.
We have new mill (two ], 900 pound
stamps, with which We expect to do
considerable work. Last week we
received 30-horse power engine and
are only waiting to have it set up to
start running. We hope to run all
Winter, as we have Considerable ore
on hand ready to mill. At present
We are preparing to put up new
houses for the men, a boarding house
and private residence, as well as a
stable, which will be 80 fact long, as
we expect to keep eight horses. We
will soon have lively camp, as we
will have IL men at work when the
mill is running, and if the mine con-
tinues as good as at present we will
put up 10-stamp mill and another
concentration, a. the one now in use
would be hardly large enough.
must tell you about the road 1
have built, as it has made quite a
talk, especially since so large an en-
gine had to be hauled over it. 1t is
a good thing l am of persevering
nature, otherwise would have been
discouraged, as everybody said the
road was in no condition to haul such
heavy machine-five tons. But,
alas for the disappointment Of the
knowing ones, it was brought up
from the foot of the grade to the
mine with eight horses in three hours
and three quarters. That was not
bad for. an impossible road. Messrs.
Welsh and Purcell OF Yerington were
the drivers, and 1 cannot give them
too much praise for the way they did
their work.

.JeweIed Portieres,

For those who have ugly views from
their back windows or corridors lead
ing to back stairs. etc, 1t is quite a
serious matter as to how best to hide
them. Draperies are expensive when
the material is good, and inexpensive
material gets easily tossed. Bead
blinds, which may be made with very
little trouble at home. are clean and
tidy. besides being pretty, and have the
further advantage of admitting the
light while preventing people from
looking into the room. Measure the
width of the window or doorway you
wish to hide and get a carpenter to
make a narrow lath to fit 1t. with small
grooves all the way along at equal dis
tances and rather close together. The
only thing you will then require is
ball or two of macreme cord and plenty
of large glass beads in pretty colors,
to mix too many colors is mistake.
Thread the string with bead and knot
to prevent its slipping: do this at inter
walls all the way down the string until
1t is the length required. 1t is advisa-
BILE to tie each string securely on the
groove in the wooden lath as you go
along. as they are apt to tangle If
loose. Try to have the strings as close
together as possible; the effect is quite
spoiled If they are straggly or far apart.
BY the exercise of little patience and
ingenuity pretty pattern of flowers or
birds may be introduced. Beads suita-
BILE for this purpose may be purchased
at very low price.

Feeding Bottles.

Most people are of opinion that feed

This gentleman, who was lecturing re-
Gently before an antiquarian society
stated that II was the custom among
the Greeks for the nurses to carry
sponge full of honey in small pot to
stop the children from crying. The
professor went on to say that there are
two Greek vases in the British Mu-
scum, dating from 700 b. c.. which
closely resemble the feeding bottles
used subsequently by the Romans. In
the old Roman cemetery OF st. Sepul-
chre. Canterbury. England. a feeding
bottle OF bright red polished ware was
dug up In 1861. and Prof. Mosby came
to the conclusion that this bottle must
have been buried with the little Roman
child to whose wants II had ministered
during lifetime.
