One of our esteemed contempories, having been moved to edify its readers concerning Bolivia and the Bolivians, speaks not unjustly in praise of the patience and hardihood of the Bolivian troops, of whom it says: "Each soldier carries with him provi- sions for two weeks, consisting of roasted corn and cocoa beans, and with this burden on his back he makes a distance of between thirty and fifty miles a day, al- -ways running and always chewing cocoa-beans." "Cocoa beans," we fear, would hardly help a trotting Indian soldier much among the Ande. What the Bolivian soldier chews while he runs is the leaf of the cocoa plant a very different thing.

The cocoa, which mixed with lime makes the Brazilians, is an Eryih-rozylon which grows on the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes, and which is to tbe Peruvians and the Bolivians ot the Andes all that tea is to the Chinaman, -opium to the Turk, betel to the Malay or mate to the Paraguayan. With the powdered leaves of the cocoa the Indian of the -Andes will go for days careless of other food and sleepless, for the plant is alimen-tal and tonic as well as a stimulant. The best cocoa grows where the finest coffee in the world is to be found, in the Ynngas of Bolivia. It has been introduced spar- ingly of late years into the pharmacopoeia Europe. But it remains to be seen whether it can be used as safely at the sea-level and by the white race as by tbe Indians in the Upper Andes.
