THE LicoRIcE PLANT.
Where II Grows and How Its Black
Juice Is Treated.

Juice Is Treated.
Black licorice Is made from the Juice
of the licorice plant, mixed with starch
to prevent 1t from melting in hot
weather. The licorice plant grows for
the most part on the banks Of the
Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which
flow through immense treeless prairies
of uncultivated land. The climate of
these great plains is variable. Half the
year it is mild and pleasant, but for
three months it is very cold, and for
three months in summer hot winds
sweep across the country, raising the
temperature to 104 degrees for weeks
at time.
The licorice plant Is shrub three
feet high and grows without cultiva-
lion in situations where Its roots can
reach the water. The usual time Of
collecting is the winter, but roots are
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 foot
long. The good and sound peeces are
kept, and the rotten ones are used for
firewood.
AS the valley of the Euphrates con-
tanned one of the earliest civilizations
in the world, it is probable that licorice
is about the Oldest confection extant
and that the taste, which pleases near
~ all children today, was familiar to
the little brown boys and girls OF
Babylon and Nineveh 5000 years ago.

The silk glands are infolded in mus

the will of the spider, forces the liquid
silk through the duct into the spool,
whence it issues as minute filament.

An Anecdo.e of Shelley.

The poet Shelley tells an amusing
story of the influence that language
"hard to be understood" exercises on
the vulgar mind. Walking near Covent
Garden. London, he accidentally JOS
tied against an Irish navy, who, being
in quarrelsome mood, seemed In
clined to attack the poet. A crowd OF
ragged sympathizers began to gather,
when Shelley, calmly facing them, de-
liberately pronounced:
