THE LICORICE PLANT.
How it is Grown, Cropped and Sent to
Market.

How it is Grown, Cropped and Sent to
Market.
The Hcorice plant is a small shrub
with light foliage, growing to about
three feet high where it's roots reach
the water. 1t grows without cultiva-
ton. No lands are leased for the pur-
pose and no objection is made to its
being cultivated. 1t grows on red earth
soil and also on light, almost sandy,
where the wood is best, provided it has
plenty of water, and the ground is not
more than fifty yards from the actual
river or stream.
The wood, after once being dug up,
grows better afterwards. The time of
collecting is generally during the win
ter, but it is possible all the year round
The root when dug is full of water, and
must be allowed to dry, which takes
the best part Of year. It's then sawed
or cut into small pieces from six inches
to a foot long.
The good and sound pieces are kept,
and the rotten ones are used for fire
wood. 1t is then taken in native boats
to 'BussOrah, whence it is shipped in
pressed bales to London, and again
from there to America, where it is used
largely in the manufacture of tobacco.

Lay Sermon by an Editor.


The minister usually breaches ser
mons in which he pictures all the ter
rors of hell and the wrath of God in all
the lurid colors his oratory can com
mand. People do not like this style of
preaching, and the great majority will
not listen to it if they can help it, and
they usually manage to help it. Oh
course, ministers may be honest in this
kind Of preaching and think they would
not be doing their duty if they avoided
such painful subjects, but such is not
the case. They can preach of the glory
and goodness of God and Of the pain II
gives Him to have His children disobey
his laws and commit sin. The preacher
never need mention hell and still preach
a more effective sermon than by con
stantly calling that unpopular resort

the time of Josephus, and if all relics

breastworks I felt ball strike my leg
near my boot top, and in less time than
I can tell it [ could hear the blood,
goosh, goosh, in my boot leg, yet I
never slackened my speed, although I
went with limp. I tumbled over the
breast works and lay gasping for
breath. One of the boys said, al,
what is the matter?" I replied that a
bullet had struck me in the leg, and
that [ was bleeding to death.
Two of my comrades came up and
began searching for the wound. The
boot was drawn carefully from my
foot, when out fell mimic ball. It had
passed through the leather, but had
not even broke the skin. A swollen
place the size of hickory nut, where
the ball had struck it, was all the
wound that could be found, but I never
could imagine why I could feel the
blood slosh around in my bootleg,
when the skin was not broken"

DEADLY MODERN BULLETS.
The Wounds Made Not Small and Clean
cut, as Had Been Expected.

The Wounds Made Not Small and Clean
cut, as Had Been Expected.
The theory that the modern bullet
fired from the modern rifle, makes a
less serious wound than the oldfash-
Sun to be disproved by the results noted
in recent warfare. 1t has been general
ly stated that the modern bullet, small
leaden core with a steel covering, little
larger than an inch of ordinary lead
pencil, would 90 clearly through flesh
and bone, and the result would be
more disablements and less loss of life.
The contrary has been noted, however,
in the campaign by France in DahOmey.
The Lebel bullet is found to have an ex-
plOsive effect. 1t tears its way through
flesh and bone, making terrible wounds,
usually with fatal results.
The bullet from the Austrian Mann
licher rifle is found to act in similar
way. A soldier was accidentally killed
near the Vienna arsenal two weeks ago
by bullet from a Mannlicher rifle and
the pOst-mOrtem showed that far from
simply puncturing and passing through
the body it had made a hideOus wound.
The steel covering appeared to have
broken off from the leaden core on con-
spread in the body with an explosive
effect, causing almost instant death. 1t
is said the Austrian authorities contem-
plate trying new form of bullet. If
they do it will not be necessarily from
humanitarian impulses
From the firing party's point of view,
especially, bullet that disables but
does not kill is far better than one that
kills, because it puts more men of the
opposing force out of action. A dead
soldier is out of everyone's way, but
wounded one needs attendance, and
the greater the number wounded the
more is the army embarrassed in its
operations. Still, while being hit by
one Of these bullets seems to be highly
unpleasant, it has been shown recently
that the probabilities of such thing
happening are no greater with the
modern rifle and bullet than with the
arms and ammunition,
and that the proportion Of hits to
rounds fired is very small

A CHAPTER ON RICE.
Immense Increase of Production in the
United States.


Eli Perkins, writing in the New York
Sun, says rice is a lazy mans crop. The
planter plays around little in the
spring with few dykes, then sows his
rice and goes hunting or goes to sleep
till it is time to harvest it. 1t is sOwn in
April on dry land. After it comes up
water is let on. This kills the weeds
and makes the rice thrive. Sometimes
they let in six inches of water, not be-
cause the rice needs it, but it kills the
weeds. [ saw them raising rice on dry
land in North Carolina, but the boys had
to hoe it to keep the weeds down. An
occasional overflow, however, is suffic-
lent. AT the end of four months the
land is dried up and the rice is harvest
ed with wheat reaper and bundled up
like wheat. 1t yields from forty to
fifty bushels to the acre, and can be
made as cheaply as wheat and with one
half the labor. When threshed the
rice is covered with a white husk like
an ear Of corn. To get this husk off the
rice must be pounded in a big mortar or
run through machines cleaners, which
cost from $50 to $1,000, according to
size.
In Japan | saw naked farmers pound
the rice by hand. They had no ma
chinery except hoe. They can make
rice cheaper with high wages at Lake
Charles than they can with 7-cents-a-
day labor in Japan. [ believe we will,
some day send rice to Japan or China,
as we do -four and cotton.
In Japan the rice fields are on side
hills, terraced and irrigated with water
running from springs. They reach
almost to the top of Fugiami, and a field
is seldom over 80 or so feet square.
Here around Lake Charles there are
rice fields of over 500 acreS-yes, and
often ,000-acre field could be irrigated
So America is to control the rice mar
ket in the near future.
In Japan on $500 land they raise
wheat in the winter and rice III the
summer. Here in Lake Charles land is
worth S., and they can raise two crops
Of rice during the season if they want
to, but one is best.
How the raising of rice has in
creased.
In 1870 Louisiana raised for the New
Orleans market 270,611 barrels Of rice !;
in 1880, 1881; in 1892, 1000, 900
barrels. [ think about 100000 barrels
Of rice was raised in the United States
last year.
Rice is short crop It natures in
four months. 1t can be raised in
Western Kansas and Colorado, where
they have irrigation, as we'll as in
Louisiana, Texas or South Carolina.
The seed to be planted should not be
hulled. The hulled rice of commerce
will not grow

Charge of a "MuIe Brigade"

One of the most ludicrous happen
ings, perhaps, during the whole war,
is described by Gen. Grant in the
third volume of BATTLES and Leaders
of the Civil War" He is describing
the battle of Wauhatchie, Oct. 1929,
1868, where, while Howard was going
to the relief of Gen. Geary he was at
tackled. "The night was SO dark that
the men could not distinguish one an
other except by the light of the flashes
of their muskets. In the darkness and
uproar Hooker's transfers became
frightened and deserted their teams.
The mules also became frightened, and
breaking loose from their fastenings,
stampeded directly toward the enemy.
The latter, no doubt, took this for a
charge, and stampeded in turn" Think
of it! A whole division Of gallant
Rebels stampeded before the charge of
a lot of wagon mules!

Beauty and BRAVERY.

What sort of men are likely to be
found the bravest? A writer in the
atlantic raises this question and seems
TO come to the quite unexpected con-
clusion that physical beauty is perhaps
the surest sign of physical courage.
He quotes French philosopher as
saying that where bravery amounts to
madness, there is always something
womanish about the face and bearing"
and relates an incident of the civil
war which seems to point to a similar
conclusion.
Z attended festival at Harper's
Ferry near the close of the war. Gen.
Sheridan had ordered that all who
had captured battle flags or performed
any remarkable feat Of daring should
repair to the parade ground to receive
such decoration as they deserved,
which was done to the accompaniment
Of martial music and many cheers.
1 looked with great pride upon the
motley collection of the bravest of
braves, and with no little interest; for
I hoped to discern among the elect

geners of lesser renown. Alas! They

The Knife and Fork.


How to handle ones knife and fork
at dinner is a grace not taught as gener-
ally as it ought to be. Every we'll
bred, thoughtful person must have
been frequently impressed with the
vulgar possibilities Of an innocent fork.
Some use it as if it were a bayonet, and
sit at table unconsciously holding the
piece of cutlery as if they were about
to impale an enemy. Another uses it
as if it were a shovel. Another grips il
as if he were holding the reins over a
hard-pulling horse, and some take hold
of a fork SO low down that their fingers
unavoidably come in contact with the
gravy, and grab their knife much in the
same way, very suggestive of a habit
acquired by the necessity of using great
force over an extremely tough piece of
meat.-BOstOn Journal.

ANN ARBOR TROUBLE ENDED.
Agreement Reached for the Engineers to Be
Taken Back.

TOLEDO, o., April 19.-The famous
Ann Arbor strike will be settled by to-
morrow morning. The advisory COM
mittee of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers has spent to-day in ad-
justing matters. The negotiations to
this end were begun by the Brother
hood. General Manager Ashley stated
that he was willing to come to an adj
justment provided two points were
nceded-frst, that no engineer now
in the employ of the road shall be dis
missed, simply to allow an old employe
to have his place; second, that no en-
gineer who was guilty of injuring the
conpany's property during the late
strike should be re-employed. The old
men who desire to work are to make ap-
plicatiOn, and as many as are needed
will be put to work at once, and the
others are to have places as fast as va
cancies occur or need arises.

much born into the world as damned

as it were, to live lives of disease and
degradation, because of the drink in
the midst of which they are brought
up, and of which they have the hered-
itary faint in their very veins.-Canon
