'When Stanley. Found David Livingstone The meeting of Stanley = and Livingstone at Ujiji was as unlikely 'an occurrence as could have hap- - pened, and, along with many of the earlier events in Livingstone's life, serves to show how wonderfully an Unseen Hand shaped an guarded his path: Neither Stanley: nor the gentleman who sent him had any personal interest in Livingstone. AA Mr Bennett -admitted- frankly--that- he was moved' neither by friendship nor philanthropy, but by regard to his business-and- interest as a jour- nalist These were the very unromantic notions, ' with an under-current probably of better quality, that were - passing through his mind at Paris, on the 16th of October 1869, when he sent a telegram to Madrid sum- moning Henry M. Stanley, one of "own correspondents" of his paper. to "come to Paris on impor- tant business." It is very mysterious that he was not to go straight to' Africa--he was to visit Constantinople, Palestine, and Egypt first. Then, from India, he was to go to Zanzibar; get into the interior, and find him if alive; Ticklish Topper -- A riot of multicolored velvet ribbons stream from. Mago Hayes' "Toss up," an amusing little cap from the designer's fall collection.

To organize an expedition into the in- terior was no easy 'task for one who had never before set foot in --Africa. To lay al' his plans with- out divulging his object would, perhaps, have been more difficult if ---it_had_cver entered into any man's head to connect the New York Her. _ ald with a search for Livingstone. But indomitable vigour and per- severance succeeded, and by .the end of February and beginning of March, one hundred. and ninety- two persons in all had started in five caravans at sport intervals from Bagomoio for Lake Tanganyika, two white men being of the party be- sides Stanley, with horses, donkeys, bales, boats, boxes, rifles, etc." to an amount that made the leader of the expedition ask himself how such an enormous weight of material could ever be carried into the heart of Africa.- ---- They marched slowly, with vari- ous adventures and difficulties, until, by Mr. Stanley's reckoning on the * 10th of November but by Living- |__stone's earlier), the, were close on Ujiji. Their approach created an extraordinary excitement. First one voice saluted them in English, then another; these were the salutations of Livingstone's servants, Susi and ~~Chuma. By and by the Doctor him- self appeared. "As I advanced slowly " says Mr. Stanley, "1 had a grey beard, wore -a "bluish cap with a faded gold band round _it, bad on a red-steeved waistcoat and a pair of grey tweed trousers, I would have run to him, only I was x. coward in the presence of such a mob--would have .embraced him, only "he, being an: English: man, . I did not know. how he would receive me; so | did what coward- ice-and false pridz suggested was the best thing--walked deliberately to him, took off my hat and said, 'Dr, Livinstone,.1 presume?' 'Yes,' said he, with-a kind smile, lifting his cap slightly. I replace my hat on my head, 'and he puts on his cap, and we both grasp hands, and 1 then say aloud--I thank God, 'Doctor, 1 have been permitted to see you," He answered, 'I feel thank- ful that I am here to welcome you,' " ~From David Livingston," Garden Blaikie, by William . expressions, "The - Personal Life of" Visit Te A Sheik Early in 1884 our Moslem grocer asked if he might bring some Be- douin shicks from east of tlie Jor- dan to call on us. grain with. them, Father was es- pecially pleased to make :thair ac- quaintance and' the first visit by She k Ali "Diab, the paramount sheik of the large and poweriul Ad- "wan. tribe, was the be@inn'ng of a "friendship which has "cantinued through. scveral generations of sheik's to the present day. he invitations for us to return the visit came through Ali Diab's son, Sheik Fiaz. And so n Novem- ber, 1884, a party went to Hesbhan * or Heshbon, h'gh up on the moun: tains of Moab, Heshbon was the capital of King Sihon of the Amor: ites.

Sorroma County Fair, the only identifiable young ladies are ~ Nancy Cuneo, left, and Phyllis Fowlie. ~ 2 THUD ions Smith flowers are more beautiful Few oc. more admired than the stately delphinium, Yet there. are many who believe that delphiniums hard to grow. Ths is not the rase prdvided the garden does not lie too fir south. 'Chis perennial does not thrive in Jigh temperature, and in soil that becomes too. warm; and althoggh delphinium are grown as far south as Virginia, down there they" are treated more as annwvals. "But in gardens «in. the general latitude of New York City--or farther north-- with proper care they really thrive, Seed should bé obtained from a reliable sources While many strains of hybrid deiphinium on the market, one of the most sutisiactory--especially here in the East--is the Pacific Giant. Al- though delphinivm can be sown in spring, August is the vreferrad time. Fresh-seed 'from the current summer's crop is available then of germs nation. * + a If a coldirame is available it is necessary only to make certain that the soil is finely worked and con- tains some humus and sand. Seed is sown sparingly in drills, six inches apart, and is covered lightly with about an eighth of an inch of fine soil." The secdbed is then - sprinkled with water and the cold- frame shaded with burlap or slats. If the bed is not allowed to dry out, seedlings should appear in ten to fourteen days. These are thinned four inches, When the add If the gardener does not have a coldirame, the seedbed is made in the garden and the same procedure followed. The location should not be hot and dry The young plants will need little attention until next spring, except for a anulehof salt | lay or straw after the ground has frozen. The seedlings will lose most of their foliage, ii not all, during the winter but this is (Fite normal. * » ' The follawing April or early May the young plants ire ready to be moved to the nursery bed ar to their permanent places in the garden. Some of them will flower during the late summer or fall but it will take another year for them to come into their own. ----On--the other hand it is possible to bring the August seedlings into bloom the following June--if a coldframe is used. The secret-is not to let the plants become dormant ', their first winter.

By mid-April, the plants should be well developed. They can be moved to the border, where they should produce spikes "of: "ploom from five to six feet 'tall. * * * However, before the seedlings reach the" trandplanting stage, their permanent sites should be made ready.' Delphiniums are not too fussy about the type of soil, as long - |. as it is well prepared and has good drainage. Soil is dug to a depth of at least eighteen inches and a liberal amount of humus (wv ell-rotted man- ure or compost) is incorporated: a woman on the. street, should he ~ plus an ample dressing of bone- meal.

If they are not disturbed in the process, the plants will suf- fer almost no setback, and start to thrive immediately in their new location. They are set in their holes with the crown at ground level and then firmed gently into the soil with. the feet. » * a Young plants of named varieties are available from most leading delphinium growers either in spring, or fall.

How Union: Nonsense Wrecked A Plant One of the most shocking cases stupid uiion-leadership is the strike of 50 office workers at CIL'e Wind- sor plant.

Shut down for more than six hours, the 3,300 cells in the svstem deteri- orate and can no longer he trusted to operate safely. : Unions controlling transport. mm and out of the plant agreed to res- pect the office workers' picket lines, Because of the dangerous nature of the operation, the continuous process had to be stopped. Now --regardless of how soon the union settles--it will cost . $250000 to $100,000 to rebuild the plant and it will be about two years before production can get back to nor- mal. = All those facts about the gravity of a stoppage were clearly put to the "union leadership, And what was the cause of this deliberate sabotage? --Nothing-but-this -minor-and sitly demand; chlorine, The office workers' boss. demand-- ed that pay increases be made on the basis of seniority, not of merit, What but a weak or tipset men- tality would want to substitute |_seniority for merit as the basis of "reward? Who with any sense of . personal dignity would want ta work in a place where merit was unrewarded and where age and mediocrity took control? CIL is to be commended for its courage in defending .the rights of its employ- ces and for refusing to co-operate in a plot to shackle and degrade them.
