ss Gsm tained one of the earliest civilizations + in the world, it is probable that licorice is about the oldest &onfection extant and that the taste, which pleases near- ly all children today, was familiar to the little brown boys and girls of Babylon and Nineveh 3,000 years ago. THE FIRST Z00. ' China, It Seems, Counts That Among Her Many Records. The Chinese had the first zoo. Men- ageries are thought to owe their orl- gin partly to the cult of sacred ani- mals and partly to the ambition of rulers to possess specimens of rare and valuable creatures from foreign lands or savage beasts from their own. In the simplest forms zoological gardens were onc of the earliest developments of culture and were familiar to the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient times. The oldest recorded menagerie is Chi- nese, dating from 1150 B. C. The den of lions kept by Darius, as described in the book of Daniel, is an example of one of those primitive menageries, while the cult of sacred white horses by the ancient Greeks and Romans and that of so called white elephants in Burma and Siam are instances of a second type. A live giraffe was re- ceived at the menagerie of Schonbrunn as early as 1828, The Paris establishment Is regarded as the earliest entitled to the designa- tion ‘zoological gardens” in the mod- ern sense of that term, which owes its origin, however, to the formation of the menagerie in the Regents’ park. Of German establishments of this sort the one at Berlin is the earliest. Amerlean zoos, notable among which is New York and Chicago, are among the completest in the world. — Ex- change. 1907. Bellefonte, Pa., March I5, THE ENGLISH HUSBAND. He Is, a Critic Asserts, Absolutely In- different to His Wife. Ever since man first lost Eden for his wife's sake the problem of the rela- tion of a husband and wife has com- manded universal attention. Nearly 300 years ago old John Selden declared “marriage is a desperate thing,” and opinion has not altered greatly since his time. The American marriage has been discussed by Engiishmen for gen- erations. Of the English variety Dr. Emil Reich says: To the Frenchman, the German, to the man on the continent, matrimony means everything. Woman converts the man, who, like a piece of driftwood, floats aimlessly downstream into a good citizen, a careful business man and a conscientious worker. Sho awake ens ambition in him; she makes him, if anything can, a success in life. To the Englishman marriage is nothing. His wife is as the cigar he smoked yesterday—not worth talking about. Even when he is courting the girl he says he loves he does not “talk woman” or make pretty speeches to her or pay her compliments. His thoughts are not a whit more or a whit less concentrated on his work be- cause of her. His cricket does no suffer; he is not less fit for his footb: matches because of her. When he has a free half hour after the serious avo 3 of life is over (the work of sports and business) he will consent to come and’ talk to her, probably about politics or the latest cut in coats, never about love. After his wedding he leads the same life, morally speaking, as he did be- fore, except that he perhaps works a little harder. His wife has made no difference. He goes to his club as of- ten, he takes as keen an interest in his sport, he bets mildly, and he gambles mildly. He is also quite as ready to run after the next pretty face he sees. And yet this is astonishing, for the Englishwoman is, I consider, the most beautiful and clever woman in the world. Yet with all her charms =h2 has less influence over men than any other whom I know. With beauty to attract and with brains to enliven, she is only a figurehead in the social scheme of British life. And, worst of all, she does not de- mand to share her husband's work. A woman's duty does not begin and end in being a good housewife and a faith- ful mother. It is not thus that she can influence her husband. She must work with him, share his business worrles and troubles, understand his failures and his successes. The Englishman will not allow it, you say. I know it, but that is be- cause the Englishwoman does not de- mand it as her right. If she co-operated with her husband and insisted upon sharing his life, Eng- land would not only be the greatest nation in the world today, but the greatest that ever existed. She would be Greece and Rome in one, Marriage makes an man more of a man. It teaches him lessons that he could never have learned otherwise.— Serap Book. THE LICORICE PLANT.

March 9.—Mrs. Nicholas Kalutza, of Barnesboro, shot and fatally wounded Joseph Stanola, 2 miner, of that place. Stenola, it ap- pears, went to the home of Mrs. Ka- lutza, who was alone, and becoming offensive, was ordered to leave, Instead of leaving Stanola became still more insolent, and Mrs. Kalutza opened fire with a revolver at short range, five chambers of the weapon being emp- tied without effect. Instead of at- tempting to escape, Stanola laughingly started toward the woman. Mrs. Ka- lutza managed to slip one cartridge into the empty revolver and fired, hit- ting Stanola in the head. Mrs. Kalut- za has been arrested, and Stanola is in the hospital in this city, where it | is said he cannot recover. RUSH FOR PENSIONS 185,000 Applications Filed Under New Service Law. Washington, March 12. — Commis- sioner of Pensions Warner stated that 185,000 applications for pensions have been filed under the service pension law enacted during the last month of the session of congress just closed. The commissioner estimates that 300, 000 applications will be received under the new law, which allows the grant- ing of a pension for service in the Mexican and Civil Wars at the rate of $12 a month to veterans 62 years of age, $15 to those 656 and $20 to those who are 70 years of age.

The licorice plant is a shrub three feet high and grows without cultiva- tion 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, a process which takes 1early a year. It is then cut into small deces from six inches to a foot mg. The good and sound pieces are ept, and the rotten ones are used for firewood. As the valley of the Euphrates con- Colleges & Schools.

THE REGISTRAR, State College, Centre County, Pa ‘fe, For the Improvements of Boots. The inside of banana skins is excellent for polishing brown boots, having the el- feos of removing stains as well as produc- ing a bright sarface. An excellent polish for kid boots is made by beating the whites of two eggs with au equal quantity of water and a lemp of sugar candy. Weak soda and water will have the el- fect of darkening brown boots. A black boot which is rubbed well with a freshly-cat potato will take a higher gloss than ome which has blacking applied straightway. Squeaking boots should have their soles soaked in linseed oil. The treatment will care the noisy trouble and also render the footgear waterproof. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best medicine for delicate persons. Their action is as gentle as effectual. They break up constipation without breaking down the per:on using them.
