FROM HOLLY LEAVES
STIMULATING INFUSION MADE IN
PARAGUAY.
Detection Is Said to Make Duty a
Pleasure and Leave No ~ Effeets---
Analysis Shows Nothing That Can
Account for II.

What tea is to the Englishman and
coffee To the American, yerba-mate is
TO the native of Paraguay. Yerba.
mate Is an infusion of the dried and
powdered leaves of the species OF
holly tree that grows in Paraguay,
and for centuries il has been the
national beverage of the countries OF
South America, while in Paraguay
and Argentina it forms the sole slim
ulant OF the working classes. 1t Is
usually drunk as a very hot infusion
through a metal tube, but it can be
taken as we take tea and coffee, with
milk and sugar.
Most people, however, acquire the
native habit and prefer to drink it
without admixture. So prepared it is
very bitter, but those who drink it
soon learn to consider ii an agreeable
and palatable beverage. Some ma
tives drink 1t as an infusion made
with cold water, and it is then known
by the name of "terere." The work
ing classes especially favor "terere,'
and the stimulating and sustaining
effects of the beverage are remark
able.
Workmen carry the drink with them
wherever they go, and from time to
time take sips of it, and seem as a
result to be infused with a degree Of
energy not usually credited to the
South American. Woodcutters will
start work at daybreak, and go on
seemingly without fatigue until the
midday meal, five or six hours later.
and this midday meal is the first
solid food eaten so long as they can
get mate.
Those who have investigated the
properties of mate say that the in
MIGRATING and sustaining powers are
different in character to those Of
either tea, coffee or cocoa. Taken as
a stimulant for night work or for pro-
longed brain work it is said to con-
lightness that make duty a real pleas
ure. The peculiar feature of such a
result is that analysis shows nothing
in the drink to account for II. The
percentage of caffeine and the amount
of volatile oil are very much less than
that contained in tea and coffee, and
none of the unpleasant effects that
follow the excessive use of either Of
the latter beverages seem TO attend
the immoderate use of mate. In rare
instances very nervous individuals
and those suffering from nervous pros
tration find their symptoms aggra-
waited by overindulgence in mate
drinking.

In BARRIERS shops many customers

Dear Sir: You will please par
don delay in answering your courte.
Gus letter OF inquiry. AS to my OBJ
seryations and information touch
ing local option in Montcalm coun-
ty, | regard it as success. There
are no open saloons to corrupt and
entrap our young men; no saloon
broils-not one reported in the
county. cannot learn that BUSH
ness has decreased anywhere, but
that in some cases it has increased.
Although the drug stores, under the
operations OF defective legislation
and the attitude OF county officials,
are selling large amounts OF liquor
as medicine; still the conditions are
a great Improvement over the past.
With loyal sentiment actuating
our people as q whole, there can be
no doubt OF the success of the law.
We have driven the fraudulent clubs
out of the county, and will soon
make an effort TO test the drug store
question. Drunken men are rarely
found in our village or city streets,
and our ladies can walk our streets
without being confronted by obnox-
ious scenes or listening to obscenity
and profanity. As to what our OPP
ponents are saying touching the
question OF our success, we are
neither surprised nor disappointed.
Yours truly, S. W. LADu.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence Of climatic conditions
in the cure OF consumption Is very
much overdrawn, The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too, can do much
betteI at home by proper attention To
food digestion, and a regular use OF
German Syrup, so Is good nights rest
and the absence of that weakening
cough and facilitating night sweat.
Restless nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger and
dread OF the consumptive, can be pre-
vented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able TO get TO a warmer cline,
you will find that OF the thousands OF
consumptives there, the few who are
benefited and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles

Good After century,s Use.

A house in Isleboro, Me-, more than
a century old. has just been torn
down and not only was the frame of
clear ,.n pine, but the boards on
the rocf, walls and floors were OF
clear pine from sixteen TO twenty
inches wide. These boards were
found to be perfectly sound. The
two doors were laid double. The
shelves in the closets and pantries
were also very wide and thick and
perfectly free from knots. The origi'
nal shaved pine shingles on the walls
were sound, but worn quite thin by
the storms of full century.

story of How . Great Ocean Liner
Strained at Her Dock While Work
men Attended Funsral Of One Of
Their Brotherhood.

Once upon time an ocssn liner
had 10 wait fivs hours for man, The
man was only dock hand. His name
WAS Jim
The story amazed me. IL was re-
peated by several men before | could
believe il. For OF all things under
heaven there is nothing more symbolic
OF power and wealth and the rising
surge OF whole worlds commerce
than An ocean liner.
The ship must sail! Men strained
day and nights on the docks-often
thirty hours without sleep--to load
late rush cargoes of freight.
Men toll In 4 turmoil OF bling
crates and barrels. OF r loads
swung by derricks. Men -..p and are
maimed some are killed and forgot
ten. The ship goes on! The ship
must SAIL
In this case II had to wait. and for
q dock hand.
II happened two years back. The
B was unloading. Jim was far
down in the bottom Of the hold. Every
few seconds the daylight was almost
blotted out by mass OF cargo
| dragged twisting turning up sixty
feet to the deck Q.
Presently a We mahogany log.
weighing seven was TO be raised,
and Jim helped ten the rope. A
comrsde signaled BY the wave OF his
arm TO the men far above. The great
derrick strained. The rope frightened.
Jim gave a short, startled cry. The
signal had been given too soon. He
was wedged In between the huge log
and the steel side OF the hold, and was
crushed to death in an instant.
The legal term for this is "contribu-
tory negligence. On the docks each
year brings scores Of deaths and hun
dreds Of accidents. Most OF them
are legally due TO negligence" and
the man gets no damages.
Still even a negligent" man must
be allowed to live. His wife and his
little children must not stsrve And
so on pay day you will nnd at most
docks q box by the pay window, into
which the big hearted lonsshoremen
drop part of their pay for the sake of
. comrade manned In the weeks ir-
regular surge Of commerce.
So Jim's funeral expenses were paid
by the men. Fortunately he had no
family. Jim was young, in his early
twenties, with kind heart and a
CHEEKY wit that had already been felt
and loved by his three hundred com
panions.

to recover damages TO a young bull

peal 70 the circuit court in 1888, Mr..
Sublette took II to the supreme court
OF Missouri, which transferred II to
the Kansas City court Of appeals. This
body sent the case back to the Adalr

was begun to recover the amount OF
Judgment given by u justice OF the
peace court.
In 1894 the oass wAs transferred
