Pretty nearly 100000 worth Of
licorice is used in this country every
year. IT all comes from the lands
bordering on the Mediterranean. Most
people think that Ncorice comes from
the wooden twigs and branches of q
tree. But in reality the licorice wood
is the root part Of a very pretty,
dainty plant. which has beautifully
shaped leaves that are colored bright
green on one side and a pale silvery
green on the other. The licorice plant
is a perennial, and in the Oriental
countries great plantations are given
up to It altogether.

Tuesday morning. tuberculosis devel-
oped three years ago. and showed violent
symptoms during the last few months,
but Bartholdi insisted on continuing
work in his studio. During the last days
of his work he fully recognized the ia
tally of the disease, and began to design
his own tombstone. This will show an
allegorical figure holding out q laurel
wreath. 1t was completed the day be-
fore Bartholdi took to his bed.
Since 1875 M Bartholdi's name has
become familiar to the people Of the
United.States, and his statue at the en-
trance to New York harbor, Liberty
Enlightening the World" has given
him a worldwide reputation. The
idea of this colossal work was first
conceived early in the '70s, and was en-
Enthusiastically received by those to
whom he confided it. A society was
formed called the Union Franco-Amer-
1caine, and banquet was held No.
ve1nber 6. 1875, to inaugurate the
project. The city of Paris subscribed
$4,000, and in the ensuing five years
$250,000. the amount necessary to COM
plete the statue, was raised, the great
est part being contributed by the
masses through small subscriptions.
The work was SO enthusiastically
pushed by its protector that the hand
and arm holding the torch was sent
to the Centennial exhibition at Phila-
delphfa in 1876. In 1877 a meeting was
held in New York to further the
pedestal fund, and congress passed
resolutions granting the use of Bed
loe's island and appropriations for the
statue. August s, 1884, the corner
stone of the pedestal was laid and
work was continued until October 26.
1886, when it was completed and the
statue unveiled.
