SOUTH AMERICAN TEA.
Its Name Is Mate end It Is a Pop
ular Drink.
A Product of Parapnay That Afford m
ployment to Many Natives The
Particulars of Its Iryp
aratlon. "Taste that," Raid a too merchant tc
a- New York Tribune reporter the other
day, as he handed him a curiounly
ahupod bowl, full of a thin, brownish
liquor, with something that looked like
a tobacco-pipe resting in it, bowl down
ward. The reporter put his lips to the
stem of the pipe and bucked at ii cau
tiously. "What in it?" he asked. "It tastes
like weak tea."
"That's just what it is," answered the
merchant, "but it's a brand of tea I'm
pretty sure you never tasted before.
That's a genuine American tea; grown
In America, cured in America, indi
genous in America, and consumed in
large quantities for years by hundreds
of thousands of Americans, and yet I'll
be bound you never heard of it."
"Perhaps not." admitted the reporter,
ruardedly. "What state is it raised
n? Is some four-story brick tea farm
lown here in Water street responsible
for it? Willow leaves, arsenic, and a
patent essence of tlieine, or something
if that sort, eh?"
"Xot at all," said the merchant, a
lttle indignant. It's a perfectly genu
.ne and unadulterated article. Its
native state is 1'araguay, and that coun
try raises enough for its own consump
tion and five million pounds annually
for export to other South American
countries."
"Oh, South America," exclaimed the
reporter. "You misled me by saying
American."
"Did 1?" said the merchant, sar
castically. "And why, pray? That's
one of the annoying peculiarities of this
people. They're too conceited to get
themselves a distinctive name, but in a
lordly way 'hib themselves Americans.
They speak of Brazilians, Canadians,
Chilians, Paraguayans and the other
millions of Americans as if they had no
right to this title at all."
"But about the tea," interrupted the
reporter apprehensively. "What do you
call it?"
"Mate is the name of it," replied the
merchant, "pronounced 'mat-eh.' And
mauy South Americans are very fond of
It. You have just had the pleasure of
drinking it in the native manner. That
curious bowl is not made of papermaehe,
as you might think, but is a gourd,
trained into that shape while growing.
The natives are experts in that line, and
by landing the green gourd here and
there with cords, or bending it one way
and another, they make it take a diver
sity of shapes before it becomes ripe
enough to be cut, dried, scooped outand
used as a utensil. It will not stand lire,
of course; but the mate is iirst put into
the gourd and then boiling water Is
poured on it. After a few moments 8
pipe or tube is inserted, anil the liquor
is drawn off by suction.
"What looks like the bowl of the
pipe," continued the tea merchant, as
he lifted it from the liquid and allowed
the reporter to examine it, "is in real
ity a strainer, which prevents the
grounds from reaching the mouth. It
is made in the shape of a bulb or ball, I
and 1his one is a curiosity in its way, j
for it is all woven by hand, in very fine
meshes, from a species of dried grass. J
Metal ones are more common, and the
rich have silver strainers. This is an '
old-style one, and I value it on that ae- I
count. It is called a bombilla. The
natives like their mate, as we would
say, red-hot. Its effect is much the
Baine as that (if the tea you are accus
tomed to, stimulating and restorative,
and, of course, has its enemies, who
pronounce it slow poison, and its
friends, who call it the Paraguayan
equivalent for 'the cup that cheers but
not,' etc."
"Is it real tea, botanieally consid
ered?" persisted the skeptical reporter.
"Well, if you come down to botany,"
admitted the merchant, "it's really a
species of holly, Ilex I'araguayensis,
but it contains in large proportions th
constituent which makes other teas use
ful, that of thcine. Its leaves and
green shoots are collected, dried and
ground up unevenly; that is, some of it
gets to be a tine powder in the rough
method of preparation, tind then again
you will iiml twigs in it an inch long.
A large number of people get employ
ment in its growth, preparation and ex
port, but I am not aware that it finds a
market in uny but South American
countries."
i KING SNAKE AND RATTLER.
A Clerce liultlo ill Which tho Former
fume Oil" Victor.
A king snake ten feet long and a rat
tlesnake six feet long, thoughtlessly
left in the same box in Donald Hums'
uiiiinul store, in New York the other
day, had a fight which ended in the
death of the rattler. The king snake
belongs to the family of constrictors
and its squeeze is a great deal worse
than itsbilc. The king is said to have
an instinctive, hatred for the rattler.
Mr. Hums was taking a nap in his
store when he was awakened by the
peculiar sound of the rattlesnake's
vibrant tail and the loud hissing of
both reptiles. lie found the rattler
coiled in the corner of the cage, its
head darting back and forth and
waleliiug for a chance to strike its
larger enemy. The king snake was
gliding cautiously near, with the inten
tion of twining its muscular coils
around the rattler and crushing it to
death. The rattlesnake made its spring,
but was unsuccessful in its attempt to
bury its fangs in the king. The next
moment its writhing body began to
i rack as the king snake coiled about
the rattler and began to contract its
own powerful muscles. In its des
perate struggles the rattlesnake
knocked the door of its box into pieces
with a blow of its tail and both reptiles
fell out on the thiol-. Hums did not
care to take any part in the quarrel.
He summoned un assistant anil finally
got the victor into a box. The tight
busted but fifteen minutes.

DANGEROUS OAME.
Tho Vindictive Peccary and Some
of Its Queer Traita.
The Hunters ffho Kuosr Anything About
This Mranire Aulmal Helect the
Drenches of a Tree at a
Point of Vanttitfe.
"I haven't the least idea in the world
that yon ever bunted a peccary, did
you?" asked a sportsman u ho affects a
knowledge of and delight in large and
out-of-the-common kinds of game, says
tho New York Sun. "Of course you
never did, and unless you have a cart
load of nerve and ammunition enough
to stock a garrison I wouldn't advise
you to. The peccary, as you doubtless
know, is a little animal somewhat on
the wild hog order, and he roams pret
ty much where he pleases in southern
Texas and abutting regions. There was
a time when it was thought that noth
ing would kill a peccary but arrows in
oculated with the deadly poison of the
bloated rattlesnake of the Staked
Plains, which the Apache Indians have
a cheerful way of distilling and apply
ing, but that was before the days of
Winchester ritles. A bullet from a
Winchester is just searching enough to
find a peccary's vitals, but the range
doesn't want to be too long.
"When a man goes out hunting pec
caries he doesn't trip lightly through
the forest, steal upon his unsuspecting
game and bring it down with his trusty
rille. Not when he hunts peccaries, he
doesn't. If he did, nineteen seconds after
he fired his first shot he would be ap
portioned out among the drove in two
ounce lots, buttons, boots and baggage
counted in. The daring peccary hunter
shins up a tall tree near where the
cheerful creatures will more than likely
come to feed. The peccary has one
great virtue. He can't climb a tree.
Perched safely on a limb the bold hunts
man waits for the coming of the pecca
ries, and when the drove comes trotting
and grunting along beneath him he
sends a bullet through a peccary's
heart. The wounded peccary lies down
at once. He knows just what's the
matter, lie turns his glittering bead of
an eye up toward the hunter and dies
without uttering a sound.
"One peccary killed out of a drove,
the hunter must either have ammuni
tion enough to kilt all the rest or pro
visions enough to last him a year, for
the survivors at once take positions
around and about the tree and sit there
on their haunches waiting for the hunt
er to come down. If hate, in the fullest
sense of the word, can be expressed by
looks, then the peccary can look and act
it toward any living thing that has
done it or its companion an injury. The
peccaries were the original knights of
labor, for their motto has been from the
beginning: 'An injury to one is the con
cern of all.' They never let up when
they start out to avenge an injury.
The hunter may shoot one after
another of the waiting and watching
drove, and each one, as it receives its
death wound, lies dow n without a mur
mur and dies, never removing its glar
ing eyes from its slayer as long as life
lasts. The living peccaries pay no at
tention to the dead or dying, but sit
there on their haunches, hoping for re
venge until the last one dies. As adrove
of peccaries will in ten seconds tear a
grizzly bearinto such minute fragments
that you can scarcely find a piece of
bone two inches long after the cere
mony is over, yon can imagine what
show a hunter would have in meeting a
hostile group of them. Hut unmolested
a drove of peccaries is as harmless as a
drove of sheep, except toward bears or
mountain lions. You may pass
within ten feet of a drove of
these vindictive little animals, and
they will not notice you with
any hostile intent unless you are fool
ish enough to commit some overt act.
Then your friends will wonder all their
lives whatever could have become of
you. The peccary, for some reason,
draws the line at bears and mountain
lions. If you are looking for either of
the latter and find peccaries, change
your b;tse. You will find neither griz
zly, silver tip, brown or black bears,
nor mountain lions within miles of any
range where peccaries are feeding.
When it comes to being the king of
American beasts the peccary holds the
scepter.
"The peccary I mean the white
tipped peccary, the- only one that trav
els in droves, the other one, the col
lared peccary, being shy and harmless
and going only in pairs is odd in every
way. Physically, as well as morally,
he seems to lie an abnormal sort of
creature, lie has the general appear
ance and habit of the hog, but the hoofs
and three stomachs of the cow. On his
back lie has a gland which secretes a
musk, and three minutes a f tcr a peccary
is killed its tlesh will be entirely im
pregnated with the secretion. Just
what this composite construction of the
peccary is for a reminiscence of the
hog, the cow anil the muskrat no one
seems to have discovered as yet. Hut
one tiling is certain, the peccary is
tough and absolutely without fear."
Oive the matter a little thought.

However shorn ljueeu Victoria's au

FAMOUS HUNTERS.
Man Who Stay Mighty Animate with
Lancet.
In Sig. Oossi'j "Seven Years in the
Soudan" the author describes "the
brothers Duma," two hunters "re
nowned from Kaka to the Victoria
Kyanza." They were in tho habit of
killing the buffalo, the rhinoceros and
the leopard the fiercest animals of tho
country with no more emotion than a
European wonld experience in shooting
rabbits. They were often sent for from
different parts to kill some lion which
was doing great mischief. Of their elephant-hunting
the author says:
In all the villages the brothers found
an enthusiastic welcome, tho people
knowing that wherever they were meat
was novcr wanting. Both men were
strong-limbed and of uncommon agil
ity. When an elephant rushed upon them
they calmly awaited him, and at tho
right moment leaped to one side. The
elephant, not being able to stop, turned
toward one of the two brothers and the
other plunged a lance into his side.
The animal then quitted tho first man
and fell upon the one who had wounded
him, and at that instaut the other cut
the tendons of the hind legs, bringing
the elephant to the ground.
One day, however, one of the brothers
was near falling a victim to his bold
ness. He attacked an elephant alone in
the usual way, but stumbled and fell.
Uo rose directly, but tho elephant had
already seized him in his trunk, and
hurled him to a distance of fifteen feet.
Fortunately he fell in the middle of a
thick bush, and escaped with some
teratches and bruises.
His friends laughed at the accident,
and the next day he said: "I would
rather eat my wife seven times than
not take my revenge."
He set out again, refusing the com
pany of his brother. Late in the even
ing he returned and called the village
together. "Come," he said, "help me
bring in the tusks, and take as much
meat for yourselves as you like."
All the population followed him. He
had killed nine huge elephants.
SWINDLING HOTEL KEEPERS.
Specimen o the Wholesale Extortion!
Practiced bf Landlords on the Klvlera.
Frequent complaints have been made
of late o the conscienceless extortion
practiced upon foreigners by the hotel
keepers of the Kiviera, who are appar
ently doing their best to kill the goose
that has laid them so many golden eggs.
An incident reported: by the correspon
lent of the London Times at Nice
.corns to prove that it costs even more
to die at Monte Carlo than it does to
live there. It appears that a short
time ago a well-known Englishman was
taken ill and died of dropsy at one of
the hotels, and his wife, who is a mem
ber of the English nobility, decided to
take the body to England for burial.
Upon inquiries as to the cost of this she
was informed that it would be necessary
to embalm the body, and that, with the
railway charges for the transport, the
jxpenso would amount to over 400.
There were certain fixed charges made
by the principality of Monaco, said the
doctor and the uudertaker, which must
be paid, and this was the lowest possi- i
ble estimate. This amount, it must be
remembered, was exclusive of hotel
sharges and doctor's fee for attendance
upon the patient; it was simply for em
balming, for tho cost of coffin and its
aecessories.and for transport to London.
An appeal was made to Baron do Farin
court, the governor general of Monaco,
who declared that no taxes .whatever :
were levied upon foreigners, dead or j
alive, by the principality. The bill was I
reduced finally by nearly one-half, but
the whole subject is to be brought to
tho attention of tho British foreign
office.
DRANK THE DOSE BRAVELY.
A Courteous Frenchman Who Refused to
llcveal Ilia Host's Mistake.
A recent French writer on "The Rev
olution, the Empire and the Restora
tion," cites an amusing instance of
what he calls heroic courtesy.
IYrey. Lord Heverly, invited to dine
with him a marquis who was one of the
most valiant soldiers of the army of
Conde. Wishing to honor his guest and
the cause which he served, that of the
French king, the English peer ordered
his butler to bring him a bottle of fine
wine one hundred years old, "a ray of
sunshine in crystal."
He opened it carefully and offered a
glass to the marquis, saying: "If you
deem it worthy the honor, will you
drink in this wine tho health of the
king?"
Tho marquis tasted the wine
"How do you like it?" asked the host
"Exquisite," replied the marquis.
"Then," said Lord Heverly, "finish
the glass; only in a full glass can one
drink the health of so great and so un
fortunate a king."
Without hesitation the marqnis did as
he was bidden. Only when tho Eng
lishman tasted the wine did he learn
that what lie had forcod on his guest
was castor oil; and henceforth beheld
the politeness of the French toward the
English in the highest esteem.
.lu-Jltsu,"
At a meeting of the Japan society in
London Mr. Shidshi, a graduate of the
University of Tokio, rend a paper on
"Ju-jitsu," the ancient art of sclf-de-l
fensc by "sleight of body." It differs
rrom wrestling in yielding to strength
instead of opposing it. It has been cul
tivated in Japan by a hundred different
schools, the oldest of which is the
Takcnouehi-llin, founded by Take
uouchi llisaiuori in 1333. Jn-jiLsu is
the chief daily amusement of the boys
ol Tokio. The priests there, too, are
all obliged to cultivate this system of
physical culture. It is prescrilied in
the naval academy and in the higher
academics and the Imperial university.
The l thodof gaining a victory over
an ant; -mist is described as "drawing
tho laxly v the hands, waist or feet,"
"straight s-lf-throwing" and "side
self-throwin " by "holding the body,
or part of ti . body, or by striking" a
vital part of the body." Ju-jitsu is
strongly commended for moral and
mental training.

HORSE MEAT.
It la Not Very Talatable Eitn to Hun
gry Soldier.
"You never ate horso flesh, I sup
pose?" said LiouL Eussell, of the
Seventh United States cavalry, to a St.
1 Louis Globe-Democrat man. "I have
seen the time when I ate it with genuine
relish, and that, too, without .any salt.
It was in 1877, during Ocn. Miles' Ncz
Perces campaign. We had followed the
renegades up the Missouri to its con
fluence with the Yellowstone, and the
chase was so fast and exciting that we
didn't realize how low our larder was
getting until it was drained, and we
were getting too far away from the
base of supplies to replenish it. The
game had all leen driven out of the
country ahead of us by tho fleeing In
dians, and when we finally caught up
with the redskins and forced them to
fight we had almost nothing to eat for
several days. We captured about seven
hundred ponies from the Indians, some
of them so round and sleek and fat as
to appear to us the finest meat in the
world. Our butchers killed theyoungest
and fattest of the ponies that night af
ter the battle, and as soon as they were
skinned and dressed we had a feast that
would have made Lucullus turn green
with envy. We lived on .this pony meat
several days. It was cooked without
salt and "roasted over a spit, like a
barbecued beef. The meat had a pe
culiar, sweet taste, not at all palatable
when I think of it now, and it was so
fibrous that we could pull it opart in
great strings. But it kept us from
starving, and I, therefore, can heartily
recommend pony meat to people in dire
straits."
ORIGIN OF WHITECAPS.
How Tills Noted Hand of Outlaws Gained
Its Name.
"I suppose there are fewer people in
this country who know the origin of
the term 'whitecaps' than there are
those who have fallen under the ban of
the scoundrels in Indiana and other
western states," said Hiram Berry, of
New York, in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"The term did not originate in
this country, but its origin dates back
nearly a century to County Kerry, Ire
land. Nearly one hundred years ago,
when Ireland was more populous than
at present, and when the people were
not so harassed by British misrule,
there lived in County Kerry a large and
influential family named Whilecap,
who, whenever any of their neighbors
became too obstreperous or immoral,
waited on them in the night, took them
from their houses and gave them a
sound thrashing with a cat-o'-nine-tails
as a warningto desist from their wrong
doing and eril practices. Similar clans
were formed in other sections of
Ireland, all of whom were called White
caps, not white caps, two words, as they
are written in this country. The pop
ular impression is that the appellation
comes from the form and color of the
headdress that the Indiana regulators
wear when perpetrating one of their
outrages, but this is a mistake, as the
history of the movement proves. The
Whitecaps in Ireland were a terror to
evil doers, and were of value to the
good order of the society of their day,
but I don't know that there is need for
them in any part of America."
EXTINCT MAMMOTHS.
Huge
Birds Which Have Disappeared
from the Earth.
Those who have read the story of
"Sinbad, the Sailor," will be interested
to know that there is some foundation
for the supposed-to-be fabulous stories
he told of the roe and its monster eggs.
Ornithologists have figured that it was
a monster specimen of the epinoris
family of birds, which are known to
have formerly lived in Madagascar.
The prize-takers among the epinoris
stood' (according to skeletons which
have been found in guano beds) within
a fraction of twelve feet high, and laid
eggs, specimens of which are now in
existence, which were as large as a two
gallon jug and had a holding capacity
as great as one hundred and forty-eight
good-sized hen's eggs! I he giant moa,
which did not become extinct until
after Capt. Cook's visit to New Zealand,
was larger, in point of weight and
bulk at least, than Sinbad's roe. The
moa was but nine feet high, but he
weighed over a thousand pounds. It
was so clumsy that Cook's sailors had
no difficulty in killing several of them
with hand spikes which were used
about the ship. The great auk, an
other species of birds now extinct, was
not so remarkable for its size as for the
fabulous sum of money now asked and
given for specimens of its eggs. In the
year 1889 an egg of the great auk sold
in London for 11,225.
A Woman's Paradise.
The ideal spot, in the opinion of many
of our American women, is the oasis of
Ghardaia, in the Sahara desert. There
the women have succeeded in emanci
pating themselves to a remarkable de
gree. When they marry they draw up
their own marriage contract, and if the
man in any way breaks it the woman
is immediately free and will have no
more to say to him. The Ghardaians
are Mohammedans, and by the law of
the prophet a man may have four wives.
The women, however, do not allow
more than one, and polygamy is prac
tically banished. They have also a pe
culiar objection to drinking and smok
ing, and in many contracts the hus
band is told that if he falls into the
habit of "consuming liquors or using
tobacco" he will be divorced.
Coincident Allllrtion.
The people of Oottenburg, Sweden,
will long remember old Uust Swansen
on account of the curious ca.se of
coincident affliction which followed him
and his family through life. Old Gust,
his wife and their three children were
all born August 13. Oust had his eyes
put out by a powder explosion August
13, 1879. Dirkje and Altze, the two
daughters, both became insane simul
taneously on August 13, 1880, and have
lxith since died. Peter, the son, was
killed by a pile driver August 13, 18S3,
and at last old Uust and his wife were
both killed while crossing a railroad
bridge near their home on August 13,

RHODE ISLAND'S NAME.
Various Theories That Have Been Ad
vanced for Its Origin.
Several explanations are given of the
manner in which Rhode Island acquired
a name. One supposition is that from
the abundance of cranberries found in
the marshes of this province it was
called by the Dutch Uoode Eylandt.
Others suppose that the original name
was Buel de Eglant (the red island),
from the fact that some clay banks at
certain points along the coast gave it a
reddish tinge. It is most likely, how
ever, that it was named from the Is
land of Rhodes in the Mediterranean,
says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and
this supposition is strengthened by the
discovery of the fact that on January
13, 1044, the general court of elections
passed an ordinance reading as follows:
"It is ordained by this court that the
island commonly called Aquethneck
shall be from henceforth called the Is
land of Rhodes, or Rhode Island."
Aquethneck was the Indian name, and
it is probable that some odds and ends
of learning among the colonists induced
thtm to select this classical name.

Philadelphia will draw on Indepen
dence hall for some of the exhibits
which are to represent the state at the
world's fair. It has been divided by
the committee in charge that the art
icles that were used by the continental
congress, and which are now in the
east room of the hall, including the
desk, chairs and pictures of the sign
ers of the declaration of independence,
shall be sent to Chicago. The ci mmit
tee also wants to borrow the statue of
William Penn, in order to set it up in
front of the state building. Citizens of
Philadelphia, are offering some of their
pictures for the art gallery. Among
these are Giaeomelli's fine painting,
"The Festival of the Prides of Venice,"'
and the mosaic picture known as "Tile
Discovery of the Remains of St. Mar
cus." It contains over one million
pieces, and seven years were spent id
the composition. ,
