THE LlCoRlcE PLANT.

Where II Grows and Flow Its Black
Juice lo Treated.
Black licorice Is made from the Juice
of the iicorice plant, mixed with starch
TO prevent il from melting i'm hot
weather. The lcorice plant grows for
the most part on the banks of the
Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which
flow through immense treelcss prairles
, of mcultivated land. The climate OF
these great plains Is variable. Half the
year 1t is mild and pleasant but for
three months 1t is very cold, and for
three months in summer hot winds
sweep across the country, raising the
temperature to 104 degrees for weeks
ut time.
The licorice plant Is n shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiva.
ton in situations where It's roots can
reach the water. The usual time of
collecting is the winter but roots arc
dug all the year around. At FIRST the
root Is full of water and must be
allowed to dry, process which takes
nearly year 1t is then cut into small
pieces from six inches to n foor
long The good and sound pieces are
kept, and the rotten ones are used for
iiewood.
As tho valley of the Euphrates con-
tanned one of the earliest civilizations
IN the world, 1t is probable that licorice
Is about the oldest CONNECTION eytant
ana that the taste, which pleases near
" all children today. was familiar to
the little brown boys and girls of
Babylon and Nineveh 1000 years ago.

Truckers, However, Hope That the
Storm Has Not Done Them a Great
Amount of Harm, Although tho Con.
tlnuance of the Cold Weather Means
a Great Deal to the Farmers.

Great damage has been done to tho
pound nets OF the Fishermen along
Chesapeake bay by the heavy gale
OF the past few days which swept the
Virginia coast.
Among the fishermen ut Buckroe
Beach the opinion prevails that local
dealers will lose between $4,000 and
$4,000 as the result of the storm.
The costly nets have been torn and
In some Instances entirely washed
away. while the pound poles have
been torn up.
Since last Saturday the fishermen
have not been able to do much work
on the nets and the catch has been
extremely small In fact few of the
larger fishermen attempted to fish
their nets either Monday or yester-
day morning and for that reason fish
were scarce on the Hampton market.
Truckers on this side OF Hampton
Roads nre considerably worried over
the cold snap, although they hope
that the damage has not been of Il
serious nature up to this time
Should the cold spell continue much
longer 1t is recognized that the truck.
ers Will he heavy losers.
The Indications are that the few
fruit trees in this section have been
seriously damaged by the weather OF
the past three days.
