In case of War with Uncle sam She Can

In case of a war between this country

certainly go up, although, should the
war continue for any length of time,
Spain could not cut off our supply I'M
less she made an ally of Italy.
At one time nearly all the licorice in
use came from the north of Spain, par
ticularly from Catalonia. 1t also came
from Seville and Saragossa. Calabria,
in Italy, also produced a considerable
quantity of licorice. Both the Spanish
and the Italian variety are usually dried
in the mir and wrapped in laurel leaves
for export. Before the war of the re-
bellion the United States imported an
nually upward of 5000 tons of lioorice,
but the import has largely fallen off OF
late years, because licorice is now large.

number of important factories for its
production. The raw material--tlat is,

The principal use to which licoi ice 10
rut is in the manufacture of chewing to-
tacco, which contains large quantities
CO the Spanish and Italian essence. The
stick licorice of the drug stores used as
u remedy for throat troubles, represents
but a small part of the licorice con-
sumed. The root is used principally by
the manufacturers, but quantities of il

AS OTHERS SEE THEM.
-Four Girls Keep House After n Deiigh
fully Bohemian Fashion.

Four Girls Keep House After q Delight
fully Bohemian Fashion.
There are four girls; one of them Is
cultivating her voice, another is an elo-
cutionist, the third writes for the pa
pers and sometimes sees herself in
print, while the remaining member of
the quartette is an art student. Recently
they wearied of the stereotyped joys of
life in large boarding house and de-
cided to take fiat together.
"It will be so bohemian" they told
their friends, though none of them had
a very clear idea of the meaning of the
word, and the orthodox aunt OF one of
them translated il Uncomfortable"
The fat is full of all manner of femi-
nine contrivances; the cooking is done
in closet, the beds look like anything
else, and the parlor is wilderness of
cushions, draperies and shrouded seats,
which sometimes break down. The art
student has her sketches pinned up in
every available spot and the singer has
CONT buted bust of Beethoven and a
MANDOLIN.
They take turns" in keeping house
and doing the marketing; the art stu
dent is famous for making an omelet
without burning her fingers. the writer
can make coffee IL she has an hour to
do it in, and the soprano has won re-
nown for her method of carrying sau-
sages home in a music roll. Sometimes
none of them "feel like" cooking; then
they file over to neighboring drug
store and dine on cream soda.
When they first moved in they de-
cided that il would be lovely and odd
to exclude the light of day and burn gas
constantly in rose-tinted globes; one
glance at the first monthly statement
sent in by the gas company settled that
idea, however.
Somehow they don't seem to be pop
ular with their neighbors; perhaps il
is because they sometimes give music
ales, when the soprano sings about lost
loves and messy dales, at midnight; per-
haps il is because the elocutionist prac-
tees at home. or it may be just because
tie art student sometimes makes
! sketches of the children.
A month ago the fiat above them be-
| came vacant and one day a male Philis-
tine came TO inspect il. He noticed
queer sounds in the fiat below, and,
knowing that janitors are usually reti-
| cent on such matters. he hunted up an
odd jobs man who happened to be on
the premises, proffered cigar and
said:
by the way, what is the fiat below
used for?"
"Aweel," said the old Scotchman
scratching his head, eff We ask me for
facts | Gamma say, but" Frightening up
''if We ask me for my opinion. think it's

There are too many horses in the

A WORD ABOUT BOOSTS.
Some Think They Should Be Round, Others
Favor the Half Round.

Favor the Hatf- Round.
Roosts in shape should be round or
half round. II is question which of
these two forms Is best. We have nj
ways supposed that the all-round roost
was the kind meant by nature, as the
feet of all roosting birds are so con-
structed that they naturally grasp a
round object. An Australian poultry
keeper, however, believes that a roost
fattened on the under side is preferred
by the birds. lie put both kinds in
his hen house and the fowls left the
round ones for the ones that had been
partly fiattened. He believes that the
toes of the birds can grasp the latter
kind of roost much better than the all
round ones.
AS to the size of roosts, that must de-
pend somewhat on the age and size OF
the bird. Most of our poultry houses
have roosts of one size, and the fowls are
expected to like them, whether they
fit or not. A chick that weighs one
pound must certainly find some discom-
fort in clinging to roost made for a
rooster weighing eight pounds. The
roosts of our poultry dealers vary in d.
ameter all the way from one to three
inches. What is the best size? Prob
ably it would he better to have different
sized roosts in every pen and let the
birds choose for Observation-Disclosures
