TIGER HUNTING ININDIA.
Tho Duke Of Orleans Has an Exciting
 Experience Elephants Hack.

Recently the Duke Of Orleans, the helI of the Comte de Paris, returned from h. dia, where he served as an officer of the British army. He gives the following acconnt of q tiger hunt In which he par ticipated:
 "The viceroy had organized for us great shooting expedition in Napaul and thither we went in company with tho Duke of Modtrose and the Marquis and Marchioness de Mores. We hunted the Napaulese country from Puneah up to the foot hills for a distance of about TO miles along the left bank of the Cooceg river.
 ''1t was kind of military expedition, for we took with us ten large tents and sixty elephants, thirty of them obligingly lent by the Napaulese government. There was all manner of game ; wild deer, wild boarS, a few antelopes, great number of crocodiles and twenty-one tigers. Eight of them l was lucky enough to bag. My cousin, Prince Henry, ran mo hard and shot seven.
 '.Tiger-hunting was exciting enough, sometimes when you hunt the tiger as an Indian Nawab said, and always when the tiger hunts you. Once tigreSs jumped on my howdah. She smashed the front of it in completely, and with ono paw she struck tho gun out from beneath my hands and broke it in two like a pipe stem.
 1.-Two of her cubs had been shot, and she herself had been cornered by n line of elephants, not -one of whom could be got to move an inch. Our men were sure she was crouching behind a certain tree on the bank of a little river.
 My elephant being little moro plucky than the others, was finally in- duced to move forward and beat the tree down. Sure enough the ttgress was there for no sooner had he done this hpr cIn xx,{kI rI.>,, leap, lighting on the top of my howdah and breaking my gun to pieces before 1 could fire.
 "Luckily for me she tumblcd backward and made off into the jungle My ele phant, scared out of his senses, boted into the jungle after her, and for about a quarter of an hour had n very unpleas- ant time of it.
 "Finally, my beast was brought to d standstill, but the whole line had been broken and we had to go back into camp The next day we cornered her again in exactly the same spot, and therc had the good fortune to bring her down as she was trying to leap across the stream. This expedition lasted about six weeks" " IN. Y. Morning Journal.
 Licorice Root. Nearly three million pounds of licorice root arrived at tho port of New York dur ing one week, recently from smyrna. Tho largest share of licorice now comes from Asia Minor, one American having almost an monopoly of 1t, and having in this country Largo quantities of licorice arc imported into the United States at n heavy expense of import duties, says the American Analyst. About year ago 1t was settled beyond doubt that the soil and climate Of Cali fornia arc perfectly adapted to it's pro- duction.
 Licorice Is prepared like horso radish by means of root slips, which arc re- | moved from the main root. The soil must be we'll fertilized and thoroughly broken to the depth of three feet to ob- tain the best results. The great depth is necessary to encourage the roots to
 grow downward to escape the intense heat, not only of one, but of several hot summers, it takes threo or four years to perfect the root for market, during which time the plant must receive constant and
 careful cultivation with the prong hoe. Lay off the rows two feet apart. and aftcr cutting the root slips into sections of five or six inches plant them in vertical holes made with a double, sixteen inches apart, 1 observing to thrust them several inches | below the surface, and cover over. As the growing season closes each | autumn, the stems should be cut down | and removed, and a liberal coating of
 manure composed with rich hammock | top) soil. If the plants have been well | cared for, the roots may be large enough in three years to harvest for market | though four years is not uncommon | Harvesting is quite a tedious job, and on | account of the depth-two or three feet
 has to be done with d spade. When l dug, the side roots, used for propaga
 tion, are cut off, and the main roots arc
 washed, dried and tied in convenient sized bundleS
