Long before the Spanishwent to Paraguay the Indians of that country used it.

and after the advent of the Spanish, taught them its use. Yerba means the herb. The mate is Spanish for gourd. The drink itself and the gourd it Is drunk from both appear in the name in vogue. The mate came to be used in connection with the verba because it was a diied gourd in which the pulverized leaves were steeped in boiling water to prepare the drink.

By habit the container began to imply the contents. The plant is the South American holly, and is indigenous to the four Brazalian States. Parana. Santa Cathari-na, Rio Grande du S-j1 and Matto Grosso, and in the northern section or Argentina. The plant is dried over a fire, pulverized and packed for shipment.

The export by the above-named Brazilian states is more than S.OCO-iKH) of our money annually. The Indians prepared the drink by placing a small quantity ot the powdered leaves in a clean recep tacle, usually a clean, dried gourd, pouring in hot or boiling water. After being alllowed to steep a few minutes, a little lemon, or perhaps some sweet substance, was added.
