The Brazilian minister to the United
States has been endeavoring to encour-
age the importation into this country
of Yerba mate or Paraguay tea, to take
the place to some extent of Chinese
tea. Yerba Mate is a stimulant used
generally throughout South American
countries. Most Americans who visit
Southern countries become fond of the
drink, though 1t seems doubtful IL IL
will ever take the place of tea in this
country. Our consul-general at Rio
Janeiro in report to the state de-
partment recommends its use, how
ever, as an excellent stimulant and
nerve tonic. TT is pre-eminently a
temperance drink" he says. land the
temperance societies in the United
States could do very useful work by
helping to popularize 1t. Yerba mate.
has all the stimulating and sustaining
qualities of Chinese tea or of coffee,
without the detrimental effect caused
by their constant and excessive use
affection of liver and kidneys, irrita-
tion of the nervous system, etc.-and
it Is very cheap. The great masses in
Uruguay and Argentine, including the
famous gauchos (cowboys) of the
pampas, who drink it constantly in
stead of water, tea or coffee, hardly
ever use alcoholic stimulants. Intoxi-
cation is rare occurrence there.

ton
1t is realized here that the Chinese
government in dealing with the Boxers
VIII encounter much difficulty, as the
society claims to be patriotic in pur-
pose. Its contention is that the teach
lngs OF the Christians are in their re-
suits absolutely destructive of the Chi
nese system of government.
The Boxers now are not attacking
foreign missionaries, but are killing
the Chinese who allow themselves to
be converted 10 Christianity. This
phase OF the matter is difficult to deal
with. as II heretofore has been a, well
recognized right OF nation to deal
with its own subjects at its pleasure.
Mr.. Conger's latest advice to the
State Department indicates that this
Troublesome society is waxing strong
In the very heart Of Pekln. the Chinese
capital, and II was evident from the
tone OF his dispatch that crisis was
approaching which would either cause
drastic action by the Chinese govern
ment. or a hostile demonstration by the
