Instructed the Queen.

Queen Victoria Of England was once
pulled up short by an old Scotchwom
an. Her majesty had started out
one afternoon to sit on a hillside and
watch some of her relatives fishing in
the river below her when she found
that she had no thimble in her pocket.
SO could not work, as she had intend
ed, at the sewing she was carrying.
Turning out of her way to Mrs. Sy-
mOnd's shop, she bought the smallest
thimble there, which was, however,
too big for her. There was an old
Scotch dame at the counter impatient
~ waiting to make her own purchases.
Not recognizing the queen, she broke
into the conversation with "Hoots,
but it's a rare fuss an PADDLE you're
niIkin' Blaw intae it weel an it'll
stick That phrase, the latter part
of the sentence, amused her majesty
immensely and became quite a proverb
in the royal family.

Licorice as it Grows.

The licorice shrub is like the hazel,
growing to the height of four or five
feet, and the root is the only part that
has value. 1t is found in damp, sandy
places, chiefly along the banks of riv-
ers around the Caspian sea, and is dug
by peasant women, who earn from 10
to Is cents day working for the lico-
rice collectors. The root sells for a
few cents pound in the raw state.
The larger part is shipped in that con-
dition, but about 20 per cent of the
product is boiled and crushed, and the
juice is made into the hard black paste
suCn as can be bought in the drug
stores In 1S4S an Italian began to
cultivate licorice. and since that time
many PEOPLE have adopted the indus
try, l'cause the cultivated root con-
toins much more sap than that of the
wi'G Plant and costs very little mora'
The only attention necessary is to keep
the soil ioosened and we'll watered
TIE cultivated icorice brings much
higher prices in the market and pro-
Guces a much greater quantity of paste
in proportion.
