''One of our largest articles Of import
from The Land OF Dons is licorice.' he
said. Immense quantities are imported
yearly and are used for The most part. not
as IS poularly supposed. for medicinal pur-
poses. but for curing tobacco. Nobody
but the initiated has the slightest idea
Of the enormous amount OF che wing tobacco
consumed in the United States. and for
every pound OF che wing tobacco from one
10 three ounces of -liCuriCe is necessary
for curing and flavorlng.
The discovery that licorice was useful
for this purpose. like many others OF great
commercial value, was by pure accident.
1t was made by some Spanish sailors about
thirty years ago. They had tried re-
peatedIy to take tobacco from America TO
their native country, but found that the
salty atmosphere. to some extent, spoiled
1t.
''On one occasion one OF the bales of to-
baCco was by accident sprinkled with some
licurice which had been carried on board
as medicine, and TO the surprise of the
crew this bale was found to be sweet and
fresh on arrival at its dcstina ton. For
some years they kept the secret Of their
discovery, making great deal of

These men might as well be in a funeral
procession as he compelled to drive their
wagons along the city thorcughfares with
out letting the people know Of their pres
ence. If a street huCkStcr would have to
go from house to house to offer his wares
for sale he would not only not be able to
cover as much ground as lie does now, but
he would cause housckccpers infinitely
greater annoyance by ringing their door
bells than he does now by h4s crying. The
latter annoys but few people. Now aud
then some invalid. or extremely nervous or
extremely cranky individual may be un-
pleasantly affected. but as a rule no one
would think of entering a complaint on ac-
countofit. Nearlyevery case brought before

on Saturday. the District attorney in

he has
There should he no difficulty whatever
about the proper enforcement OF this regu
laticn, for it is sufficiently explicit in its
terms. 1t forbids needless noise in offer
ing any produce for sale in the public
streets. No individual that is fit to he a
member OF the police force but should be
able to determine what. in the case under
consideration. constitutes needless" noise.
The mere crying of wares is not such on the
contrary, it is needful in the carrying on
OF the huckster's business. Some OF these
men, of course, go to an unpleasant eN-
treme, a nd it isto them thatthe enforcement
of the regulation prohibiting needless
noise is applicable. Because of this fact the
repeal OF the ordinance would not be adj
visable. 1t can always lie made to serve its
purpose to keep hucksters OF this caliber
in check. Neither in law nor equity, no W.
ever, is any justification to be found for
closing the hucksters' mouths altogether
and making them n dumb as oysters.

There is q. chance here for investigation

The value Of the glow-worm discovery
would be it's easy use. It would not be

The leech is used to-day for sucking blood

The clow-worm lives for a long time
without care and without food. Children
will carry q glow worm in the pocket
and bring it out TO glow. In a box IN the
house the elow-worm viii live for weeks,
fed only with a drop Of water and u

worm produced from its case would be
tied around with q string and held In front
of the plate. As soon as the exposure

steam away.
The Three Friends is so closely

interfere the torpedo could fire at the
boat and sink it, and the dynamite
would be landed of the coast next day
