LATIN-AhERICAN DRINK.

Shall we all be drinking yerba mate (pronounce this last word mah-tay, please, a few years from now? Some enthusiasts wouldn't be greatly sur prised if that state of things came to pass. Paraguayan yerba is the best, but the yerb9 of Argentina and Brazil IS not to be despised. Yerba was known to our English ancestors as Jesuit's tea. It costs in South America about half as much as coffee and one nrth as much as tea. "The foreign workman soon becomes habituated to the use of yerba mate and even asks for it in place of coffee" writes Consul Ayers from Rosario. Tt certainly does prevent hunger; the Paraguayan retires to sleep after having eaten his heaviest meal, and in tile morning he takes no breakfast, as we understand it, noth, ing but yerba mate, and on that alone works till nearly midday, doing his hardest work of the day" writes Dr Eben NJ. Flngg. Tt is said that more than O,0O0,O0O people in South America drink (yerbaD mate daily writes Con sul Johnson from Santos, "and find 1t
 oSeeSA thdh tea Ol SOuCc, udtIuk none of the deleterious effects of these drinks even when taken to excess, but, on the contrary, promoting digestion, soothing the nerves, and giving imme- diate activity to the brain. According to high authority. it is the only bever- age which leaves absolutely no bad after effects upon those who drink 1t m either large or small quantities. AS safeguard against insomnia it is highly spoken of, and in those countries where it is constant beverage such directions as gout and indigestion are unknown. It is especially beneficial to those of sendentary habits and to brain workers who find the use of coffee or tea harmful to the nervous system
 It certainly speaks well for yerba mate that it's holding its own as popular beverage in a country like Paraguay. where rum of great potency costs only 6 cents a quart. Dr Flagg says he's often wished our government would give it a fair trial in the army and navy. Why not?-Hartford Cour- ant. sg

LINES WILL BE MERGED.

New York. May 5.-It is stated by the Herald that the recent purchase of the Ann Arbor railroad from the Wa bash interests was for the Detroit Southern and that the two lines shortly will be merged. While the ownership and management of the Ann Arbor and Detroit Southern will be distinct from the 'Sincinn,rti,- Hamilton and Dayton system. similar interests are identified with both systems. Inability to com- bine them is due to the fact that the Detroit Southern and Cincinnati, Ham, flton and Dayton are parallel roads. 4 harmonious working arrangement will, it is added. be entered into by the two systems. A new directorate will short ly be announced for the Ann Arbof road. J91tt sBJ 7rVo

GAY GRAND DUCHESS
PRoSPECTIvE MOTHER IN LAW
 OF GERMAN GROWN PRINCE.
Ever Has Been obstreperous and Con- tinues So Even with the Mighty William-Sister of Grand
 Duke Michael.

The novelists tell us now and then of the rather free and easy lives led by cer- tain emancipated Russian ladies of hign degree, and we have wondered if the novelists really got their knowledge first-hand, if they painted truly. The Grand Duchess Anastasia's conduct, since the betrothal of her daughter to the German crown prince has brought her into the brightest of limelights, makes us inclined to believe the story tellers knew a thing or two.
 Anastasia is sister of Grand Duke Michael of Russia. who, as some news paper writer remarks, is by no means a Sunday school model himself. But Anastasias manner of life has been such as to shock even Michael, for some time he has considered her case hopeless.
 It may be bad art to give in the begin ming the most unsayory of the grand duchess misdeeds, but since we have said so much, it behooves us to make good the statement, let the reader judge if we have overdrawn, painted too black. Anastasia is noted as very susceptible person. Her love affairs during the life of her husband caused much scandal in court circles, and, 1t is rumored, his mysterious death really was case of suicide. Since that occurrence she has contracted morganatic union with one of the late dukes aides-de-camp.
 This is rather serious matter when one realizes just what an exalted posi- tion is held by a duchess of Mecklen- burg-Schwerin, and should be remem- bered by an. exrduchess. But. as has been shown in her dealings with his augustness, the kaiser, the ex-duchess appears to have small reverence for personages, for pomp and power-espe- cially if 1t mean any repression of her own acts.
 Mecklenburg- -Schwerin is situated on the northeast coast of the German em- pire, the grand ducal house the only reigning family in western Europe of Slavonic origin. The grand dukes call themselves, in full title princes of Wends, and they claim to be the oldest sovereign house in the western World, Thes genealogical table of the present duke goes back to ruler that died in 1l60. Think of the grand duchess of such an ancient and honorable house. cutting up such didoes. It is unthink.

THoRoUGHBREDs BURNED.

St Louis. May 5.--So far as can be definitely learned only three thorough breds were incinerated in the fire which destroyed the twelve stables at the St Louis fair association race track early to-day. The horses known to have been burned were Molly T., Irby Bennett. each valued at $400. and an unnamed maiden valued at $l.2OO. All three belonged to Frank Gering of St Louis. The damage to the buildings IS estimated, at $3.O0O. Several thor. ougilbreds which were turned loose have since been captured.

able; the German emperor cannot tol. crate it.
 But what can he do? Nothing. He can scarcely beat the lady. scarcely im- prison her for lese majeste. The best course seems to be the avoidance of anything tending to rouse the ire of this willful, reckless person.
 Why in the name of all that is con. servative and we'll disciplined does the kaiser allow his son and heir to wed member of this family? Could he find no one save Cecile. daughter of the ex. grand duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwer- in? Does loves young dream explain the matter? Not altogether, If at all. It is said the emperor favors this match because he very much desires to make reconcilement with the duke of Cum berland, in the hope that the latter will relinquish his claims to the kingdom of Hanover: and Cecile's brother. the grand duke of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin. Is married to a Cumberland princess. The duke of Cumberland has so far re- buffed advances made by William, and the unsettled state of Hanover has been one of the thorns in the German em- peror's crown.
 But to return to mamma-iu-law. One might think she would be moved by am. bition to further her daughters connec. ton with the imperial family. but evei ,slnce the announcement of the engage ment of Cecile and Frederick, the kaiser and Anastasia have been at swords points. Each royal suggestion. consid- cred generally the same as command, has been turned aside with contempt The kaiser wanted the wedding on his own nuptial anniversary. February 2. but Anastasia would not go to Germany in such an unclement month. Then April was declared second choice: no. Anastasia would not leave the Riviera ct this time. It is probable that she will absent herself from the ceremony in June.
