When .Stanley Found David • Livingstone
The meeting of Stanley and
Livingstone at Ujiji. was as unlikely
an occdieence as could have'hap-
pened, and, along with many of the
earlier events in Livingstone's life,
serves to. show botv'avonderfully an
Unseen Hand shaped an guarded
bis path. Neither Stanley nor the
• gentleman who sent hint had any
personal interest in Livingstone,
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
-the "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, front Indian,
he was to go to Zanzibar; get into
the interior, and find hint if alive;

that Stanley reached Zanzibar. 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 bad ever 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
inetytwo persons in all had started in five
caravans at short 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 starched slowly, with vari-
ous adventures and difficulties, until,
by Mr. Stanley's reckoning on the
10th of November but by Living -

Ujiji. Their approach created an
extraordinary excitement. First one
voice saluted then: in English, then
another; these were the salutations
of Livingstone's.,,servants, Susi and
Chyme. By and by the Doctor him-

noticed he was pale, looked wearied,

his cap slightly. I replace my hat

cap, and we both grasp hands, and
I then say aloud—I thank God,

Visit To A Sheik
Early in 1884 sur Rfoslten grurt•r
asked if he 'Wein bring stars Be-

dan to call un us. 11r traded in
grain with theut, Fat l,or • was es•
pccittlly pleased to stake lltrir ac-
quaintance and the first visit by
She'k Ali leab, the perauununt
sheik of the large and powerful Ad.
wan tribe, uas the begin11.11lL of a
friendship tvltirh has continued
through srtoratl gc^era: cue; of
sheiks to the present
'Ile invitations for to, to return
the visit came through Ali Diah's
son, Sheik Fee... .110.1 so in Novem-
ber, 1584, a party %tent to ilesban
or Heshbou, 1,gh up on the moun-
tains of aloah, I1eshhan was the -
capital of King S1hrr11 of the Amor-
ites. It is on'y a bare site now, but
it was an important Levitical city
of Reuben and Gail. It came again
into the possession of the A!noel tes
before the captivity.. , .
Mother told about the ftp in a
letter to a friend:
We, started early in the morning,
on horseback, without any protec-
tion except our Bedouin friends
who were armed to the teeth w:tlt
swords, pistols, knives, etc. I wish
you could have seen us start out
with these wild Ishmaelites , .
The wife of the great sheik met
us with the gracious dignity of a
queen. She stood at the door of the
tent welcoming us in a dress of dark
blue material, ten feet long, and
sleeves eleven feet long ( we treas-
ured then:). The dress is the sane
length all around, and it tales an
experienced person to walk inside
this bag, with the dress trailing.
behind her. It is let down on state
occasions, otherwise it is t,eciced up
around her waist in several folds,
She stood there commanding tier
servants and handmaiden; who in
response brought out mattresses
covered with rich red satin. Our
shoes were taken off and we a ere
given water so that we might wash.
Then the handmaidens hurried to
bring us lemonade, sweets, and eof
fee. Directly the whole encampment
.was astir. The fatted lamb or kid
had to be prepared, the bread
baked. Butter and 'label)" (clab-
bered milk) were brought with the
cooked meal and set m huge trays
and bowls on the ground. Rich
Persian rugs were laid round for
us to sit upon. After we had par-
taken of the evening meal, all the
retainers were served a ccording to
their rank, Even tate casual passer-
by, no matter how ragged, was fed.
After the remnants of the.naeal and
the dishes were removed, the even-
ing fire was- relcindled. The sheik
and the male part of his family
and retainers surrounded it. Then
the court joker and sitrger came
forward and sang 'he prt.ises of the
great sheik. .
These people live just as Abra-
ham did. Their cgitoms have not
changed. They have two or more
wives and each wife has her hand-
maidens and servants.. It is inter-
esting to see actually with one's
own eyes how Abraham; Isaac; anti
'Jacob lived. They ad the "cake of
raisins" and all such ,terms used by
the ancient fathers are everyday
expressions. The Bible becomes a
living book
In copying Mother's letter, 1
realize how customs have changed
since then. The granchildren of
these 'Bedouin friends still visit us, .
but they arrive in automobiles, and
when I visited them recently in
Amman, Trans-Jordan, it was to
a European and modernly furnished
house that I was taken, although
the stuffed sheep an tithe laban
were still "served in a lordly dish."

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
Q. Does one keep one's knife
and fork when passing the plate
for a second helping of some dish?
A. No; you wouldn't want to
place then: on your hostess' clean
tablecloth, nor would you want to
sit at your place with these imple-
ments poised in your hands, Pass
your plate with the knife and fork
side by side across - the plate,
slightly to the right, the prongs of
the fork upwards, cutting edge of
the knife towards the center,

Q. When a divorced woman is
marrying again,' what should she

has, noobjections, may be worn
on her right hand,

Few flowers are more beautiful
or more admired titan the stately
delphinium. Yet there are many
who believe that delphiniums are
haul to grow.
'Chs is not the case provided the
garden' does not lie too for south.
This perennial does not thrive ha
high temperature, and in soil that
becomes too warm; and although
delphinium are grown as far south
as Virginia, down there they are
treated more as annuats. But in
gardens in the general latitude of
New York City—or farther north --
with proper care they really thrive.
Seed should be obtained from a
reliable source. While there are
many strains of hybrid delphinium
on the market, one of the most
satisfactory—especially here in the
East—is' the Pacific Giant. Al-
though delphinittnt can be sown
in spring, August is the preferred
time. Fresh seed from she current
summer's crop is available then
and gives a much higher percentage
of germination.
* * *
If a coldfrante is available it is
necessary only to stake certain that
the soil is finely worked end ,con-
tains some humus and sand. Seed
is sweet sparingly in drills, six
inches apart, and is covered lightly
with about an eighth of, an inch of
fine soil. The ,seedbed is then, -
sprinkled with ivater'aatd the cold -
frame shaded with• burlap or slats
If gip ,tagd is not allowed. ;to
out, seedlings shotiild.appear in -ten
to fourteen clays, These are thinned
to three 'or,feiter• inches. When the
weather is particularly warm, the
shits are left -on to -provide some
shade,
r * * ••
If the gardener does not have a
eoldfreme,,,the, „seedbed is, made in •
the garden and the sante procedure
followed. The iacation should 'not •
be hot and dry; The young plants
will need little attention until next
spring, except for a mulch of salt
hay or straw after the ground has
' frozen. The seedlings will lose most
of their foliage, if not all,, during
the winter but this is quite normal.
e * *
The following April or early May
the young plants are ready to be
moved to the nursery bed or to their
permanent places In the garden.
Some of then will flower during
the late summerorfall but it will
take another year for then: to conte
into their own.
011 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. With the arrival
of cold weather the frame Is cover-
ed with glass and opened for ven-
tilation only on warns clays.
If the frame is not blanketed with
snow during the coldest days from
December to February, it is coy
Dred with lacy or straw. The sides
shoulcl be banked with dirt, too.
* * *
In late February or early March
(depending somewhat on the
weather) the insulating cover is re-
moved and the glass opened again
on warns days. 13y mid-April, the
plants should be well developed.
They can be moved to the border,
where they should produce spikes
of bloom from five to six feet tall.
However, before tltc seedlings
reach the tranepiattting 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 (well -rotted man-
ure or compost) is incorporated
plus an ample dressing of bone-
meal,
ogemeal, By the time the plants are,
moved the soil should be settled and -`
firm.
* * :"
Young plants are placed eighteen
to twenty-four inchesApartin the
border and are usually more elite.
0
live if planted in groups of not Less
than three. For exhibition bloom,
spacing should be at least three
fret; growing in straight rows as-
sures greater success.

'When shifting delphinium, care
should be taken to stove them with
as much earth as possible around
the roots. 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 )toles
with the crown at ground level and
then firmed gently into the soil
pith the feet.
* * *
Young plants of named varieties
are available from most leading
delphinium growers either in spring
or fall, however, for the price of
two or three plants the gardener
can obtain a packet of about 200
seeds which will produce a wide
range • of colors. Of course, when
the plants are well established they
can he greatly increased by division
or cuttings.
How Union Nonsense
Wrecked A Plant
One of the most shocking cases
of irresponsible, short-sighted and
stupid anion -leadership is the strike
of 50 office workers at CIL'e Wind-
sor plant.
The plant produces chlorine,
caustic soda, ammonia. anti salt. The
operation is a continuous process.
Shut down for more than six hours,
the 3,300 cells in the system deteri-
orate and can no longer be trusted
to operate safely,
1.+ Unlons - controlling transport in
and out of the plant agreed to res-
• pert the office workers' picket lines,
1' Be'caus'e of. tlte,dangerous nature
of the operation, the continuous
process had to be -stopped. Now
—regardless of how soon the udiott
, settles—it- :avill- .cast 1250,000 • to
$400000 to rebuild the plant and
it will be about two years before
production can get back to nor-
mal.
'All'thoseefacts 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 silly
demand:
The office workers' boss demand-
ed that pay increases •be made on
the basis of seniority, not of merit.
What but a weak or upset men-
tality would want to substitute
seniority for merit as the basis' of
reward? Who with any sense of
personal dignity would want to
work in a place where merit was
unrewarded and where age and
mediocrity tool: control? CIL is to
be commended for its courage in
defending the rights of its employ-
ees and for refusing to co-operate
in a plot to shackle and degrade
them,
