LICORICE HARVEST IN SYRIA.
Gathered in Sacks and Carried on Camels
to the Seaboard.
,. In a series of articles describing the
planting, cultivation, preparation for
market and transportation of licorice
root, appearing in the Pharmaceutical
Era, there is the following interesting
descriptive bit: In digging licorice
root in Syria the usual way is to start
a trench the length of the place to be
dug over, about two feet in length, anil
work from that, each man placing in a
pile the root he has dug, and at the
end of the day or longer time it is
taken to the scales, weighed and paid
for at a special rate per pound. An
allowance is always made for the dirt
that clings to the root. The root is
then spread out for a few days to
slightly dry and is piled in stacks
about three feet wide and four or five
feet high, rounded off at the top in or
der to shed rain, and the piles are nar
row enough to prevent heating.
At the end of the rainy season the
root is spread out to dry for about two
months, being turned over from time
to time, during which process all the
adhering earth dries and falls off, leav
ing it clean and ready for transport to
the point of shipment. It is then put
into canvas sacks, each containing from
two hundred to two hundred and fifty
pounds, two sacks being a load for a
camel or a mule. For the transporta
tion of the root from the place where
dug to the port of shipment, varj-ing
from two to five days' journe.y, a con
tract is usually made with some Arab
or Bedouin sheik for a certain amount
of cantars (of - about five hundred
pounds each) at a certain price, he to
furnish camels and men and the owner
to furnish and fill the sacks.
About fifty camels go in one caravan
or drove, for which five, men are suffi
cient. Sometimes, if . one hundred
camels are used, the caravan goes in
sections; one man riding a donkey
leac's the first camel and the rest fol
low the leader, while the other men
walk, keeping any camel from straying
or lagging too far behind. They usu
ally start early in the morning and go
ten or fifteen miles, when a halt is
-made, the loads are taken off, and the
camels are allowed to browse on the
thorn or other bushes for three or
four hours, then loaded again and
about the same distance traveled, when
they are again unloaded and the night
is spent in the open air, and an early
start made the next morning. And so
on until the seaboard is reached,
where they are unloaded, the root is
weighed, the sacks emptied, and re
turned to be again refilled in the fields
for another trip. On the Euphrates
and Tigris the root is obtained near
the banks of the rivers and, after be
ing properly dried, is loaded in bulk
on native boats called bugalows, car
rying from fifty to 100 tons, which
float down tte river, or sail if the wind
is favorable, or at times are towed by
men as far down as Bassorah, where
the root is unloaded and pressed in
bales ready for shipment.
MEANINGS OF TITLES.
Sultan, or in its older form, solden
was first adopted by Bajazet. The
older title of the chieT Mohammedan
ruler was caliph, commander of the
Faithful.
Tin? Greek emperors of Constanti
nople called themselves "Holy," and
one of the official titles by which they
insisted on being addressed was: "Your
Holiness."
Coitxt dates from the later Roman
empire. Before the evacuation of
Britain by the Romans a count of the
Saxon shore was appointed to prevent
Saxon invasions.
Amono the titles of the Roman em
perors were Augustus, Caesar, Divus,
Pius, Felix, Clemens, Tranquillus,
Sanctissimus, Altissimus, Dominus and
others of similar ponderosity.
The title of Illustrious was never
formally bestowed as a title of honor
until the time of Constantine, and was
then given to such princes as had dis
tinguished themselves in war.
The quaestor was a Roman official
found in two or more departments.
In one he fulfilled the duties of a pub
lic prosecutor, in the other he had
charge of the public revenues.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy took the
lead here and was much better liked
than any other medicine." H. M. Bangs,

much the same as a very severe cold and
requires precisely the same treatment.
This remedy is prompt and effectual and
will prevent any tendency of the disease
towards pneumonia. For sale by Blake-

BALKING THE UMBRELLA THIEF.
A. Washington Man Haa Invented an Auto
matically Returnable Rain Shield.
Another long-felt want is about to
be filled. Drawings for the invention
were received at the patent office only
a few days ago, and the man, who, by
the way, is a Washingtonian, is prepar
ing to build him a new house in the
most fashionable part of the city with
the prospective . funds from this inven
tion. 'It is nothing less than an auto
matically returnable umbrella. That
is, one that will make its own arrange
ments for its return to its owner when
lost. The nomadic habit of umbrellas,
especially when left unchained in the
neighborhood of a crowd, has long
been a subject of comment, and it has
been a. serious question whether the
trouble were altogether with the mor
als of the umbrella, that would go off
and lose itself, or an innate depravity
of the umbrella-using public that made
findings keepings without much in
quiry as to the identity of the loser.
The new, non-losable umbrella does
not 'differ essentially from the ordinary
article, says the Washington Post, ex
cept that it has a little stouter handle.
Herein is concealed the working part
of the device. It is a compactly ar
ranged phonograph, with a multiply
ing reverberator, enabling it to be
heard for, say, the length of a street
car or in a good-sized hallway. In con
nection with the phonograph is a com
bination lock which sets the machine
for action. The owner of the umbrella
on setting it down simply switches in
the combination and as soon as it is
picked up the phonograph gets in its
work. The remarks can be arranged
according to the taste in oratory of the
man who owns the umbrella and can
range from a politely couched request
not to disturb the rain protector to a
stentorian cry of "Stop, thief," or
"This fellow is stealing another man's
umbrella," or any other . exclamation
of a more forcible nature, the strength
of the language being only limited by
the local municipal ordinances regard
ing profanity.
LIKE A GIANT CORKSCREW.
Fourteen Times Around a Mountain Bo
tween Hase and Sommlt
There is a mountain fifteen miles
from Tumacacor, but so near the inter
national line that it is not known posi
tively whether it is in Arizona or Mex
ico, but it is believed that it is United
States property. Miners, says New
York Recorder, have always called it
Babel mountain, and it is a most ap
propriate name. It is of a soft sand
stone and pumice formation, and the
work of making the road was not a
difficult task. The road commences in
a canyon of the foothills and-rises at an
easy grade, corkscrew fashion, going
around the mountain fourteen times
before the summit is reached. The
road is about fifty yards square when
it starts at the base and gradually gets
smaller until it is only ten feet wide at
the top. In many places the road has
been washed out by the storms of
years, but it is still possible to take a
horse to the top. In many places.
where the sides overnang a little, the
mark of the builder's pick can be plain
ly seen on the wall of rock. To ascend
the mountain a person must follow the
road, and this is a two days' task, as it
is about thirty miles, as near as can be
calculated without actual measure
ment. The lowest road is a little over
three miles long when it goes around
the mountain once. However, this is
very irregular and goes around several
spurs of the mountain. The roughness
of the. road is undescribable, and a
horse is of no use for a week after the
trip. The top of the mountain is about
seven thousand feet above the plain.
There is nothing at the top, and the
adventurer wonders when he gets
there, what the road was built for.
THE CRADLE OF GREAT NEN.
A. Distinguished Publicist Says the West
Is Their Birthplace.
The typical Americans have all been
western men, with the exception, let
us say, of Washington. , Washington
had not had much of European culture.
The qualities that made him a great
commander and a great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton, or Madison,
or Livingston, or John Adams, or the
Pinckneys living tolerably on the fron
tier. They are not Americans in the
sense in which Clay and Jackson and
Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge, a more culti
vated appreciation of the value of
wnat was oia ana established, a
juster view of foreign nations
and foreign politics; that they
had been more like Webster and less
like Jackson; and we may hope that
the typical American of the future
will be wiser and better poised. But
in the meantime the past is to be un
derstood and estimated as the
facts stand, and only - a thoroughly
sympathetic comprehension of these
men who have actually been the typ
ical Americans will enable us to effect
that purpose. The fact that Clav
rather than Webster, Jackson and not
J ohn Quincy Adams, represented the
forces which were really predominant
and distinctively American in our de
velopment is commentary enough on
any theory that makes either of the
peculiar sections of the Atlantic sea
board the principal or only theater of
American history.
The Lions In the Moon.
We always speak of the lines and
spots on the moon's surface as "The
man in the moon," but it seems that
others have entertained a different
opinion. Bishop Wilkins says: "In
some countries the figures on the moon
are supposed to be two lions in deadly
combat; in most Oriental countries the
picture is thought to be that of a single
lion. Others will only have it to be
the picture of a man's face, as the moon
is represented. Albertns thinks that
it shows the picture of a lion with his
face toward the west and his tail to
ward the east. It is as much like a
lion as that in the Zodiac, or as Ursa
Major is like a bear."
