NEW USE FOR CORN STALKS.
Their Pith May BE Utilized in Making
Smokeless Powder.

PENNS GROVE, n. J.,Feb. 13.-At the big
powder works of the Duponts at Carneys
Point, interesting experiments in smokeless
powder are being made by experts in the
employ of the government. One of the diff
culties that has attended the manufacture
SO far is that the powder is not wholly
smokeless and that it apparently loses
strength through storage. The experiments,
it is said, led to the discovery that cotton
could not be ground fine enough to bring
about the best results and that the pow
dered pith of cornstalks gave somewhat
better results. The fact is only partly
authenticated. If it should prove Of last
ing value a new source of revenue is opened
up for farmers since thousands of acres of
although much is being used in the manu-
faCture of CellulOse.

Harry Graft over his old rival. Fremont
Hunt, and as on former occasions, it was
the result of an accident to Hunt Both
men got away beautifully at the signal from
the referee and alternated in leading dur

the lead and held it undisputed for three
laps, at the end OF which Hunt attempted TO
pass him by fine burst of speed. In some
manner his skate slipped and he fell to the

Superior Court yesterday against the United
States Casualty Company of New York to
recover on life insurance policy held by
her husband at the time of his death. Mr..
Hovey died on June II last. There was some
mystery about his death and the coroner
investigated the case The suicide theory
was advanced and DR.. Brayton had an eX-
animation made of the dead mans stomach.
This examination revealed no trace of
poison. In the complaint filed yesterday
Mrs. Hovey ayers that her husband on April
% 1898 took out a policy for s., 800 for three
months. The policy was in force at the time
of his death. Mrs. Hovey says she furnished
proof Of her husbands death, but the con-

DRINKERS OF YERBA.
A Beverage That Is Popular In
South America.
Peculiar Method of Making and
Drinking the Commonly Used
DecOotion-rOreign Soon
Like Ii.

An effort was successfully made in
Russia a few years ago to introduce as
| a fashionable drink the yerba mate, a
South American product of the nature
of tea. Russians. being inveterate tea
| drinkers, were not averse to trying a
new decoction, and mate became ia
vorite beverage, although il 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 a narcotic as cof-
fee, it is equally stimulating and pos
sesses a 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 cult
waited the herb. The Spaniards at 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 a 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
pint of liquid. \ little cold water
sets the yerha. 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-
tremeIy unpleasant TO foreigners, and
sometimes debars them from learning
to take mate, for he who is a mate
drinker and refuses the "bombilla"-
the tube-because others have used il,
Will give mortal otfense.
This drink and a dry biscuit consti-
tute the entire breakfast OF the Spanish
speaking world of Chilli, 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.-

Publicly Expressed.

Fred Parker-Jack Cambell has bond
ed six of his claims in the Gold Hill
camp for $50, 900. One in the group be-
longing to me was also bonded to Expert
Aldrich for $4,000. Mr.. Aldrich, Brit.
ish Columbia mining capitalist, person
ally examined the mines recently.
DE. Lesh-Our intention in the Or
ganization of a cattlegrowers' protective
union is not to antagonize the sheepmen.
We want to work with them IN securing
proper recognition on the forest reserves.
If they are not closed finally to stock
men, we want onr share Of the grazing
district.
doc" Current-Atter ten years OF con-
slant struggle to develop the mines OF
Gold Hill in this county, got tired and
have settled down to farming. Now that
] am out of it, my word should be taken
as unbiased when [ say Gold Hill will
yet prove a wonder, II a road is not
made from this side the trade of the
camp when developed by capital will

half the way In from Buckley yet. Via
Yakima is the best way to reach the
mines. l have many times sunk my
horse to the TANKS in the soft mud OF the
other side. From the Yakima side, how
ever, the snow leaves earlier, and there
is no danger of begging. l once offered
to chip in $50 for mining exchange in
this city, but could never get the BUSH
ness men to move ia the matter. A good
road is a necessity, or We will lose the
trade.
w. II. Marble-I am bringing in about
so bales from our Parker yards which l
previously contracted to Poole for lie.
What is badly needed is a hopgrowers'
association in this county so that the
small growers may have financial assist
ance to wait for a rise in prices. The
small growers are at the mercy OF the
buyers and are compelled to let 90 too
soon, thus demoralzing the market.
Harry Tibbs-The road to Gold Hill is
pretty fair until you get to Scott Stevens 4,
% miles from this town. The road from
there to Mahafiey's, about q miles, is all
shale, and from there on there is no road,
only trail There should be good
