Black licorice is made from the juice of the licorice plant, mixed wjth starch to prevent it 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 a time. The licorice plant is a shrub three feet high and grows without cultivation in situations where its roots can reach the water. The usual time of collecting is the winter, but roots are dug all the year round. At first the root is full of water and must be allowed to dry, a process which takes yearly a year. It is then cut into small pieces, from six inches to a foot long. The good and sound pieces are kept, and the rot- * ' ten ones are used for firewood. The lieis then taken in native river boats of Bassora, whencq it is shipped in pressed bales to London. As the valley«of the Euphrates contained 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 nearly all children today, was familiar to the little brown boys and girls of Babylon and Nineveh 3,000 years ago—Pittsburg Dispatch. The Poverty of the Bonaparte*. Some time before the death of his father General Marbcnf had married, and the pecuniary supplies to his boy friend seem after that event to have Stopped. Mme. de Bonaparte was left with four infant children, the youngest, Jerome, but 3 months old. Their greatuncle, Lucien, the archdeacon, was kind, and Joseph, abandoning all his ambitions, returned to be, if possible, the support of the family. Napoleon’s poverty was therefore no longer relative or imaginary, but real and hard. Drawing more closely than ever within himself, he became a still more ardent reader and student, devoting himself with an industry akin to-passiou to the works of Rousseau, the poison of whose political doctrines instilled itself with fiery and grateful stings into the thin, cold blood of the unhappy cadet. —Professor Sloane in Century. , . Convinced. “You aver,” said the black browed ’ bandit, “that you are the celebrated cantatrice, Mme. Squallkina. Prove it, and you are free/ Never shall it be said that a Cuttaweezanda would offer indignity to an opera soprano. It is against all the'tenets of the profession. ” “How shall I prove my identity?” asked the captive. “By singing, of course.” “What? Sing in tins cave? No bouquets? No steam heat? And not a cent in the box office? Nevej“” “Gentlemen,” said the bandit, “it is F evident that the lady is what she claims to be. Escort her to the nearest village iy and set her free.” —Indianapolis Journal. Trodden on by Hundreds. A few years ago a box containing over 900 guineas was found under the step leading into a bedroom in a Dublin house. -_j It must have lain there’neafly a century and was only discovered on part of the floor being taken, up during repairs. Numbers of people must have fre- ' quentlj* passed, over the step without the remotest idea that such a valuable object lay concealed under it.—London Answers. M Headache* From Eye Strain. Among the mast exquisite of tortures are headaches that proceed froim overtaxing the eyes. Much of this trouble is due to imperfect curvature of the cornea. However slight this imperfection may be, the pain from the strain is intense. The muscles become sore and irritable, and the constant tension is likely to create chronic ailments of the nervous system. Eye strain and extreme irritability of temper are frequently associated. It is often the case that the eyes are not suspected as a cause of headache, but the proper glasses give relief at. uacfi^—-New York Ledger.

LEGISLATURE MEETS. Fifty-Ninth General Assembly of Indiana Starts on Its Career. ADAMS WILL BE SPEAKER. Meeting of the Senate and House Caqcnse* Last Night—Other Officer* Selected — Winnie Smith Murder Trial In Progress — Ex-Pension Agent Ensley Stricken—News Jottings. Indianapolis, Jan. 10.—The Indiana legislature assembled today at 10 o’clock. Quite a number of people have gathered ( here from all sections of the state to attend the incoming session, not a few being interested in the distribution of the places at the disposal of the general assembly. As a consequence there was a considerable crush to be present at the opening hour. The galleries were well filled and the available space on the lower floor was not left unoccupied. A considerable number of ladies were present, adding color and interest to the scene. Lieutenant Governor Nye called the senate to order. Nothing further than the ordinary preliminaries incident to the opening session was accomplished. In the house Secretary of State Myers performed a similar duty, and the 59th session of the Indiana general assembly was started on its career. Result of House Caucus. Last night’s caucuses ended the suspense with a large number of aspirants for positions in the two branches of the general assembly, and today there are many explanations as to how it happened. The house speakership contest, in which most interest had centered for the past two days, continued to drift toward Justus C. Adams of Marion until at the assembling of the caucus in the statehouse there were but three other candidates. But one ballot was necessary to end this sttuggle, which a few days ago gave promise of being long drawn out, and resulted in the success of the Marion county candidate. On the first and only ballot Mr. Adams received 56 votes, Mr. Statesman 7, Mr. Merritt 11 and Mr. Willoughby 3, a total of 77 votes being cast. Marion county’s big representative, who during his canvass had made a reputation for jollity and genialty, was called upon for a speech, and after humorously referring' to nis own success promised to give to all the members an impartial treatment as speaker. Robert A. Brown of Franklin was chosen clerk of the house by acclamation, Ben Prather of Indianapoljs 'withdrawing to enter for place a notch lower down. There, however, he encountered defeat, Dr James C. Wright of Russiaville being elected as assistant clerk on the first ballot, receiving 45 votes. Mr. DuiJjin of Indianapolis received 22 votes in this contest and Prather turned up with but 14. For doorkeeper the race was between D. L. Wright of Salem and William Downey of Martinsville, and it took two ballots to settle the matter, there being just enough other candidates to hold the balance of power on the first. The first ballot gave Wright 39, Downey 36, Billingsley 1, Clements 1, Vawter 2 and McCormick 1. The second ballot gave Wright 43 and Downey 34, with ona for Billingsley. Senate Selections. R. B. Oglesbee of Plymouth, whom no one has shown the courage to oppose, was chosen secretary of the senate without the formality of a ballot, the caucus meeting on the fourth floor of the Denison house. Will S. Ermes of Princeton, drew the assistant secretaryship after a brief struggle. “George W. Fawcett of Paoli was chosen doorkeeper. The fellows who have been looking for subordinate places immediately began a search for the successful candidates, and last night and today all of these were besieged with an army of : ?nen who are anxious to remain in the capital city on a good salary during the session of the lawmakers. SMITH MURDER TRIAL. Taking of Testimony Began — Large Crowds In Attendance. Indianapolis, Jan. 10.—Interest in the Winnie Smith murder trial is unabated, many 'persons being unable to get into the room during the court sessions. Immediately after the opening of the case for the state by Congressmanelect Henry the taking of testimony was All of the persons who were present at the time of the fight between Smith and Thomas at the Brighton Beach saloon, where the murder occurred, have been examined. Their testimony was generally to the effect that the fight grew out of a dispute over the taking of a drink and some other personal epithets thrown at one another, both being somewhat under the influence of liquor. The knife, with the blood still qn it, together with the bloodstainbrt clothing of the murdc 'Cd man, was introduced into the evidence yesterday. FELL INTO A COGWHEEL. Foreman Cunningham Receive* Injuries From Which He Will Die. Muncie, Ind., Jan. 10.—Charles Cunningham. nighLAireman at the chemical department of the pulpmill, was walking tfjTa gangway near the large vats and parallel with a large cylinder . upon which was a pair of heavy cog-• wheels. The place he was walking on was wet, and in some manner he lost his footing and fell into the cogwheels. His left ; leg was crushed to a pulp and the right foot ground off. He also received other injuries which will cause his death. ' " , NO ONE TO BLAME. Absence of ■Switchlight the Cause of the Yorktown Collision. Yobkrown, Ind., Jan. 10.—The coroner of Delaware counter has made a finding in the Big Four freight collision, which resulted In the death of Engineer Schull. There will be no arrests. The . ...Z, ■ ■ ■ :/ ' •

evidence showed that Engineer Sntlar, whose train bore down upon the other, did not forget or misunderstand his orders, bnt that the switchlight was out, and he could not locate the switch until ■ he was too close to stop. He reversed his engine and called for brakes, but the rails were slippery and the brakes failed to take hold. The headlight of the westbound train was also darkened, and En--1 gineer Schull, seeing the danger, atI tempted to back his train away, and re- ' mained at his post too long. It is the supposition that the main cause of the . 1 wreck was the absence of the switchlight. Capacity Inereasnd. Anderson, Ind., Jan. 10.—It has been decided by the American Wire Nail company to increase the capacity of their galvanizing wire department to 150,000 pounds daily. All departments of the mills are resuming operations with greater capacity since the holiday vacation and annual invoice. This is the ' concern of which the late Weston B. Thomas was the assistant secretary and , one of the heaviest stockholders. Children Insene. Logansport, Ind., Jan. 10.—Two of 1 the youngest patients ever admitted to an insane hospital have been admitted at Longcliff, near Logansport. They , are brothers, James E. and Robert J. Lackey. One is 10 years old and the other but 7. The sheriff of Fulton county, who brought them here, says that their insanity is due to family troubles and misfortunes, coupled with a severe attack of fever. "■4 . Kx-Pensiou Agent Stricken. Indianapolis, Jan. 10. — Nicholas Ensley, ex-United States pension agent for the district of Indiana, was stricken with congestion of the brain and stomach yesterday at the office of the Union National Building and Loan association, of which he is president.

Don’t do It boys, you young fellows who slip away from home evenings and stay out on the streets, loafing until late in the night, perhaps early next morning You are young now but the time will oome whenjyou will wish you had been careful of your health and habits. And don’t, pleaso don’t, stick a miser able, stinking cigarette between your U-elh and puff and Smoke until your lungs become as dry and brittle as a fried goose's liver, your skin as yellow as a dried lemon, and your eyed dead and watery as boiled onions. Don’t cock your little soft but on one side of your little swelled head, and start out iq search of (red liquor. If you do they’ll bury you one of these days, and they’ll do it in a burry and bury you deep. If you want to be a man let drink alone. Read, study, play marbles or ball, run, kick up your heels like a filly turned into pasture for the first time in the spring, but don’t pour rotten (poison stuff, called whiskey, down your throat. It isn’t yours anyway; it belonge to the devil, and he needs it all, every drop of it. And, above all, don’t by word or deed, add to the burdens of your mother: remember that she loves you as deeply as when you were a clean, white little babe, though you may now be a “tough kid” whom every one dislikes. She is not so'etrong as she once was. the hand of time, maybe, has touched ber hair, and left it gray and streaked where it was once beautiful and glossy. Her step is.slower than it used to be. Be a man; respect her, live right and when she dies who loves you more than anyone will ever love you again, when the wasted, tired bands have been folded for junbroken sleep, there will go with you sweet and tender recollections like guardian angels along the rugged road of life. Now is the time to begin to be a man; not wait until you are "grown.up.”—Bluffton News. Mrs C. L.

A Bishop Gone. Thera Are many In Decatur who kindly remember Bishop Knickerbocker in his several visits and especially the last visit, when he preached so acceptably in the M. E. Church. We clip the following from tne Terre Haute Tribune, The death of Bishop Knickerbocker will cause general regret throughout the state. There are a few comunities which the kindly bishop has not visited in the course of his long service in the episcopate, and he has made friends among all sorts and conditions of people all over Indiana in that eleven years. Bishop Knickerbacker Was not an eloquent speaker, but there is a silent eloquence in the growth of his church and its institutions m this diocese since he assumed control, which will be effective long after his tongue “lies silent in the dust ” Bishop Knickerbacker had what we call a “good head for business,” and be was indefatigable in his labors for the welfare of the charitable and educattional institutions maintained by the Episcopal church in Indiana. Even during the period when the bishop was supposed to be taking his vacation at his handsome summer hone at Bishopthorpe, bis activity did not cease, and other ministers who went to the state Episcopal resort for rest, found that the bishop was only mobilizing them there for a campaign on the surrounding country. During these periods, the neighboring Howe Grammar School and the parish church at Lima were the objects of his especial care. The bishop’s life has been a busy one, and it is charasteristic of him that he should have died “in the Harness.” Only four weeks ago be administered communion at St. Stephen’s church at Terre Haute. His final illness was immediately developed, we believe, from a cold contracted in the performance of his duty. While he has not filled so large a place in current history as many Episcopal bishops ot contemporaneous service, in a quiet and unassuming manner be has done an unusual work. His kindly personality and his Christian zeal will be missed not only in his own church, but among all who have noted his effective service. State of Ohio. Citv of Toledo, I ss.
