ALlTTLE LIC0RlCE.

Pretty nearly 100000 worth of lie
orice is used up in this country every
year. 1t all comes from the lands bor-
dering on the Mediterranean.
Most people think that licorice comes
from the wooden twigs and branches
of a tree. But in reality the licor-
ice wood is the root part of very
pretty, dainty plant which has beau
tifully shaped leaves that are colored
bright green on one side and pale sill
very green on the other.
The licorice plant is perennial,
ard in England, where they are try
ing to make an industry of raising it.
the experimenters plant it in rows be-
tween cabbages and potatoes. In the
Mediterranean and Oriental countries
great plantations are given up to it
altogether. The licorice plant throws
out immense neshy roots, full of juice
when they are fresh. They spread and
burrow far in the earth, and a good
big hole has to be dug to get them all
out
The licorice wood, as we see 1t here,
represents only about half the original
weight and size Of the root, for fully
so per cent. of its Juice is lost in dry
ing it. Therefore the licorice dealers
are getting to be more and more in
favor of squeezing the Juice out OF the
roots on the spot and then shipping
this extract.

as they were tumbling off to sleep they
heard the puppy crying and whining,

Let's run down and comfort him for

They slipped down the back stairs
and in a second Pedro had run right
into Jim's arms.
They petted him and scolded him
and told him ITO be brave dog, and
then put him out again. He didn't
want to go a bit, but tried to get in

that just for tonight we might put

tomorrow night he'll be older and
more used to the place. too, and then
he won't make fuss"
Patsy thought that was a good idea,
so Jim lugged in the soap box and put
it behind the stove.
Pedro snugged into it and seemed
quite happy. They skipped away be-
fore he could realize they were gone.
But no sooner did they get to the top
of the stairs than he began to cry
again.
"Oh, just hear the poor boy" said
Patsy. Lets go back a minute"
He was crowded up close to the door
of the back stairs so that they almost

ten to twenty inches long. parting it
down 50 that 1t tapers gradually from
the thickness of lead pencil at the
butt to a graceful point.
Attach a bit of sewing silk a few
inches long. To the end of this tie a
tiny hook.
Now heat some sealing wax over
the flame of candle, fashion it into
the shape of worm and work it over
the hook so as to cover it just as a
fisherman would cover a hook.
All you need now ds the fish, and
you will be ready to catch a mess. The
fish can be produced in a moment by
shipping a piece of thin paper into
shape with sharp scissors. Tissue pa
per is best, and If you can get colored
paper of different colors, so much the
better. Cut out fish about an inch
long, and scatter them over the table
which represents your fish pond.
Now, with a silk or wooden rag, rub
the sealing wax bait brsSly. Then
lower it toward any fish you wish to
catch, and it will bob up and hang
on to the hook.
You know why. don't you? The fric-
tion has produced electricity in the
sealing wax.

the way to the Palace.

cried, as he knelt at the Princess
feet, and the Princess tasted and clap

the Miller, proudly, as he stood before
her. with his golden curls like a crown
and his blue eyes dancing with happi-
ness. you shall be the popcorn prin-
cess. and grow rich, and your people
shall be prosperous" and then every
body shouted and laughed for JOY, and
the Miller smiled at Florihella, and
F1oribella smiled at the Miller.
But the Princess looked away to-
wards the dark tower.
And I can marry my Prince" she
thought, but she did not say it aloud,
for it is not we'll that the people should
see into the heart of Princess.
And as the time went on the people
planted the purple corn and made
popcorn balls, and pink popcorn, and
penny bags of popcorn, and grew rich
and famous, and the Miller was made
the Keeper of the Royal Grain.
And the Princess married the Prince
and lived happily ever after.

the air was full of warm white crys-

At first Frankie just stood and

tasted, and then he gave a great shout.
"It will indeed make my fortune, 3"
he cried, "it is good to eat, and the

shed where his COW was stabbed, and
turned the COW out into the warm
spring sunshine. ut will not hurt

In a short time there was a roasting
blaze Then Frankel filled a great
pan with the corn and put it over the
fire, and presently a delicious odor
stole out and was caught up by the
wind and carried along to the village,
and the listless, hungry children gave
one united sniff, and clattered off to-
wards the mill.

on the corners. and then the maidens

youngest Maid, who was all in scar

cheeks like cherries and lips like wine.
$50, Floribella," said the Princess
to the little Maid in the scarlet robe,
"go, and find out what carries the peo-
pie to the mill"
And the Miller laughed a gay laugh,
and flung open the door, and there,
heaped on a great table, piled up in a
great pan, and overlooking to the
floor, they saw the wonderful white
popped corn. which gave out such a
tempting fragrance that all the little

strange People Who Keep the Gate
ways to Their Lands Locked Tight.
Scattered about the world are sew
eral mysterious races. They exist in
isolated communities. in inaccessible
regions, surrounded by people from
whom they differ in every physical re-
spect. How they came where they are,
what is their history, whether they are
remnants of an aboriginal race or
remnants of invaders, are unanswered
questions.
On the River Guaripichi, one Of the
tributaries of the Orinoco, is a race
called the White Indians. They were
there before the Spaniards, and they
are there now; and they are white. 1t
is said that they have household uten-
sils of gold and silver. Many other
strange. tales are told of them, but no
explorer has penetrated their mystic
rious country.
Another race of which no knowledge
has been obtained is the Arfour sup
posed to be the original race of the
great Island of New Guinea. The ma
tives call them the wild men," and
tell many strange stories of their pow
er and their method of life.
1t is almost impossible to reach these
strange people. A dangerous canni-
bal country has to be crossed, and art
er this the hardy explorer finds all the
I paths leading to the mountains beset
with man-traps. These man-traps con-

ten inches long, imhedded firmly in the
ground at an angles toward the way
from which an intruder would come.
These spikes are stepped in a poison,
and after they are in position they are
covered with leaves, so that 1t is almost
| impossible to see them. A scratch from

A white man, thickly booted, might
escape being scratched by them, but
an explorer penetrating to the noun
tains must take native bearers, guides,
ETC., and these would certainly be kill

have to be remarkably thick, for the
iron-woods of the Arfours are as sharp
as daggers and as strong.

BEASTS THAT
HUNT THE HUNTER

The British Government reports
that rs, AGO human lives were taken by
serpents and beasts in India last year.
Man-eating tigers killed more than
a thousand. Leopards killed a thou
sand. Wolves slew two hundred.
Even the white hunter. who goes out
with guns and attendants, is some
times hunted by a man-eating tiger
before he gets through with his adven-
ture.
Col Rice and Ensign Elliott went on
a hunt for a man-eater. Perched on
a small tree they saw a beautiful til
ger, which had been aroused by the
heaters. A shot was sent toward the
beast, and II fed TO the jungle. It's
roars showed that it had been hit, and
hunters and beaters followed the
bloody trail.
AS the two Englishmen were walk
ing along with their eyes fixed on the
ground, the tiger. with a roar, sprang
out Of a thicket.
The colonel gave it both barrels
right in the head, but it did not bother
the beast, for 1t leaped on Ensign
Elliott and beat him to the earth with
one sweep of the great paw.
An attendant handed the colonel
another rife and this was discharged
at the tiger. Before the colonel could
fire again the tiger had the young en-
sign in its mouth and ran off with him
toward the jungle.
The colonel followed closely and
finally. taking careful aim, put a bull
let through one of the huge animals
eyes into the brain.
The striped beast fell dead over the
body of his victim. The ensign was

WHEN THE SAND MAN COMES

AS soon as the day has gone to sleep,
And the night has come to town,
A queer little man walks through the
street
In a queer little dust-color gown.
He carries on his queer little arm
A pail all filled with sand.
And a queer little shovel, all made Of
gold.
In his other queer little hand.
He runs up the stair. and he knocks
at the door
OF the house where the children
are,
And with his shovel all made OF gold
He scatters his sand afar.
And some Of 1t falls in the little lads
eyes,
And some In the little maids,
And lids grow heavy, and eyes grow
dim.
And the light in the nursery fades
Then this queer little man in the dust
color gown
Runs away with his pail of sand,
And his queer little shovel, all made
OF gold,
To the gardens Of Fairyland.

shoulder and went away
So in the spring Frankel planted the
corn. and in the fall he gathered it,
and all the ears had pale purple grains
like the ones the Wayfarer had given
him.
Now I shall make my fortune"
said the miller.
But. alas! when he came to grind
the corn. it made such strange meal
that the people laughed.
SO with many signs the Miller
stored the. corn away in great bags
in the loft Of the mill, and went on
grinding the yellow grains that were
liked by the people of the village.
But after a time the crops failed
and there was nothing to grind, and
everyone grew very, very poor, and
in the palace it was rumored that the
Princess mourned because the grasp
ing ruler of the next province had
forbidden his son to marry her, since
she could bring him no money.
Things went from bad to worse,
until one day the Miller on going to
look for wood to replenish his little
fire, that he might boil his last spoon
full of coffee, found not even a splinter
of kindling. and when he had search
cd the loft, he came down at last with
a handful of the purple corn.

he cast it on the family smouldering
ashes.

Patsy looked at him for long time.
