Communication in London Times
zone Who Knows" has bsen strangely
misinformed IA to the original name and
early name OF Henry NJ. Stanley. His
birthplace was not Mold, but Denbign
where he was born Thursday, Jan. %
ls41. Bis mother, whom | well knew
was the daughter of butcher in that
town, and his father, John Rowlanda,
was a farmer who lived at Segrywyd, IN
the near vicinity. The child was great
fayorite with his maternal grapdtather,
who somewhat prophetically named him
"Fy nhyn dyfodi i"-that Il, my man OF
the future.
When he was years old his grand
father died suddonly-as nis daughter
described il, he fell dead in the garden
The home was broken up, and the child
was placed with one Richard Price and
his wife, who lived in the bowling green
in Denbigh Castle. Shortly sfterward the
son Of this man, also named Richard
Price, carried him on mis- back from Den
bigh TO the st. Asaph Union Work house,
where he was brought up and bore the
name of his father, John RowIands.
His subsequent career may be read in q
little book published some years ago by
Camden Ho,tsn, OF Piocedilly, entitled,
if recollect Alright, III. NJ. Stanley
Story of His Life, by CadWaliader OF
Rowland" The name of Stanley Is de.
rived, not as stated by your eorrespon
dent from lady who adopted him, bot
from store keeper in whose service be
lived when he frat arrived in America
His mother died in her 63d ear, March
28, 1886, and was buried IN the church
yard Of Booelwyddan, near Asaph. II IL

simple words that she was Mother OF II

There is a deal said about farm mort
vag.s that is oosh, says the Des Moines
Register. When we came to Iowa thirty
three years ago much of the land was
bought by eastern people as an invest
meut. They held the land, paid taxes,
and in some instances improved and
rented them, waiting for increased
prioes The settlers fually bought out
the non residents at prices ranging from
g. to $40 an acre, and secured payments
by mortgages on the lands, paying in.
terest at rates ranging from s TO 10 per
q alton of eastern money men, money
was loaned at gradually lessening rate
of interest. The old aud 10 per cent.
mortgages were paid OF and new loans
negotiated at lower rates till now money
is borrowed at per cent. with com
mission to the agent. This is the basis
of mOst farm mortgages. OF course we
have the bad manager who gets in debt
by speculation, living hey ond his means
and refusing to learn the ground princi-
pies of successful farming
scrub stock, attending 10 other peoples
affairs, selling grain, buying too much
land not productive, and the like but the
major part of Iowa farm mortgages are
given for land TO take up old mortgages
OF buy out neighbor and the per cent.
Of snch debt in relation to assessed valu-
alton Is less every year.

A Study of Moisture.

Whatever affects the profits of every
tiIler Of the soil is naturally more i'm
portsnt than any local question. The
Stors Experiment Station, Mansfield,
Conn acts upon this, and It's second bull
letin gives an account of experiments
Instituted and under way which bear mp
on that first of questions with us in our
brief hot summers how moisture may
be retained in the soil in order TO pre-
vent hlndrances or fatal stoppages of
growth. From August 10 to 81 WAS the
only part of last summer dry enough at
Mansfield for test. Daring those IF
teen days, heavy soil not stirred lost by
evaporation nearly inches deep of
water With the surface stirred it lost
but 81. Light soil lost much less 30 4
when unstirred, and "a inches when
stirred
The good effect of stirring the surface
two inches deep or better is explained by
ITS making soil pores too large for the
ascent of the soil water TO the surface by
capuarity, and "a the air enters these
openings freely it keeps the soil cooler
by IT'S non eouductiveness, and often
adds 10 it's moisture by dew deposit ICON
dsusaflOn OF its vaporl. A study of the
statements in the bulletin will prove rich
ia seed thous ht' on the main point in
som culture and on the valuation of soils
which are good or poor not merely in
proportion TO the nicely of texture or
which depends their comparative capa
olHfy OF retaining the precious and in
dlspenssble moisture.

An ImnroYed VIC Fence.

An improve ment in the construction OF
wire fences has been adopted by ". w
Rich. of Lyon county, Mimi, which has
nroven very effective IN the prevention OF
;piDry TO stock. The Watertown, Da.
kota. Public Opinion says: "He simply
uses the ordinary smooth wire, which he
stretches on the inside of his pastures at
the top of the posts and then uses as
many barb wires rs maybe necessary be
low and on the outside of the pos q; thus
the smooth wire a: the top protects the
beast which accidently comes in contact
with il, from being cut by the barbs,
which still are there TO terrorizs unruly
stock. Not single animal has ever been
injured in any pasture fenced by this
plan, while on neighboring farms, fenced
in tie ordinary way, much valuable stock
has beeu ruined"

There are various ways for providing
surprising results in photography, things
that IN ono age would have been called
magic, but in ours recognized as scientif
10 tricks. The ghost picture for in
stance in whioh n shadowy ghost through
which material objects are visible, is
seen between natural attitudes and 90

most instantaneous exposure of the
figure that ia 10 DO duty es che ghost,

Another novel trick was shown resent
ly in photograph reproduced by a
prominent trade journal, which repre-
scented the photographer seated az a
table playing chess with himself seate
on the opposite side of the table, Will
he himself stood up in the background
looking az his two selyes playing. Tho
figures we're all on the negative, which
was produced by three successive expo

persOn who likss that sort OF thing may
appear 20 be photographed riding upon
Il yiug goose or fish, or any other do
sired style Of ridiculous locomotion.
This is done by the subject holding in
his lap a hinge piece of white or tinted
card, with the fanoifui picture upoH it.
His face appears above the upper edge
OF the card and seems IN The picture TO
be joined to the funny little body on the

made by about the same device.

It is curious fact, not generally
known and OF general interest just now,
that We have long used system OF vot-
ing that is similar to the Australian sys-
/ tenn Our candidates are nominated in
conventions or primaries as IN the states;
1.-THE campaigns are carried on largely
/ by means of barbtques. Men, women
and children gather at some convenient
spot, often as many as tige thousand
souls ana there we roast oxen, sheep and
pigs. There ia Teasing, dancing and
speech making. | have seen an orchestra
of twenty fddies all going AZ once. Then
\ the candidates must get up and tell how
much they love the dear people and how
much they are willing TO do for them,
just as your Office seekers do in the
states. I ought 90 know for | was twice
elected chief, the first time by small
majority and the last slime by large
one. Sometimes these harbecUes con
huued for two or three days and nights.
There is no drinking for liquor is not
sold in the nation. The women attend
tbs barbeques, but they do not vote. IL
Is tue, however, that cur women have
csught the spirit of the age and have
begun 20 agitate woman suffrage among
the Cherokee"
How about your system of votingp
at seems TO he good one; the election
ia conducted by the Sheriff and his assis-
tants. They open polling places in each
district Fifty feet of ground around
the polling place Is roped of, and only
one voter permitted 20 enter at time.
He does not deposit his ballot, but his
name and the name of the candidate for
when he wishes TO vote. No vest pocket
vote for as. The voters name is written
down, md mark made I'm his presence
opposite the mans Of the candidate whom
he fayOrs. IL Is secret ballot except
that the Shtrff's officer knows how each
oiuz votee. Election frauds are al
most impossible. Our young men are
voters when they reach tho age Of IS.
| The Cherokees are not, and, am proud
TO say, never have been, wards ON the
government. We never reoeived cent
OF bounty nor the gift OF an acre OF land.

taxes 20 pay. He Is privileged to come

in order 20 hold it, and the limits of his

| Our people have, DIS rule, large planta-
