Especial Correspondence Of THE INDEPENDENT.]
New York, May 25-Miss Tenant is not
the only person to whom Henry M. Stanley
has been under engagement of marriage.
His early sweetheart now lives in this city,
and his attachment for her was highly To-
mantle.
A few years ago he was only plain news
paper man, blowing his way through the
usual reportorial vicissitudes, and some of
us still we'll remember the quiet, beardless
fellow who, although unsocial with tho
crowd "grappled with hooks of steer' to
his friends. To-day he is honored among
the princes of the world; he left us young,
vigorous, hopeful; he has returned to civil
lization prematurely old, exhausted and q
CYNICAL because of a woman.
Concerning his early career, Stanley has
been exasperatingly silent, but enough has
leaked out from one source and another to
warrant the assertion that few eminent men
began life under less promising conditions
than those which surrounded him in his
youth. We know that he was born in Den
bigh, Wales, in the year 1910, that his
lge of ID the boy was practically a public
,harge. Even at this early age, however,
1e exhibited the sturdy traits that have
characterized his later years. His father
being dead and his mother having remar-
ried, home thereafter became hateful spot
on account OF his brutal treatment by new
master.

STRAWBERRY SETTER.

The most desirable time to set is
the sky cloudy.
For setting plants we use a tool
shaped something like an adj or grub
hoe. The blade is OF steel ten inches
long and four inches wide. 1t is made
thin and curved inwards. At the top
is hole for handle, which is one foot
long. 1t may be made by the local
blacksmith, and costs one dollar. We
call this tool q ''strawb berry setter;" but
it may be used in setting vegetable
plants or heeling in raspberry plants.
the workmen strike the blade into the
soil about seven inches and then with
draw it. AS the setter is withdrawn,
and before the soil rattles back into the
hole, . plant is inserted back of tho
setter. The soil is pushed up to and
around the plant by forward move
ment of the setter, and thus the work
is accomplished.
Plants put out this way have the
roots set little obliquely, but seem to
do as we'll as when put down straight.
The soil comes in close contact with the
roots and there is no cavity left around
them. The earth is left loose. and not
packed hard as where dibble or trow el
is used. One Of these tools will last q
lifetime, and we used to spoil two or
three trowels every year. The general
appearance of this strawberry setter is
shown in illustration on this page.
Care should be taken that the crown
Of the plant be put even with the sur
face. II below the surface the plants
will rot in wet season; If above, they
will dry up in a dry season.-Popular

six organic substances-fat, sugar,
casein, albumen, nuclein and lactro pro.
tein-the last four being albuminhoids.
The water is the same as ordinary
water. but the other substances
are largely composite. Milk fat is
the butter, and consists of mixture Of
fatty acids or glycerides, the $50 per

mitin, 1.750; butyrin, O.27O; and caproin,
caprillin and rutin, 0.003. One thousand
volumes of pure butter fat at 100 degrees
Fahrenheit will expand to 1O,472 at 21a
degrees Fahrenheit. The proportions OF
other substances are casein, 1898; albu.

yields appreciable quantities of potash,
soda, lime, ferric oxide, phosphoric
anhydride, chlorine and magnesia. The
globules of fat in milk are said to be
covered with an envelope, but, Prof.
Martin, of the United States, has failed
to discover it with the microscope at
1000 diameters. Bouchut found that
the globules varied between l,1o2, SOC
and 100000 to the cubic millimeteH
(6-looOths of an inch) but they actually
vary from 1-150Oth to l,12,O00th Of IN

returns from the same ground space.
The expense Of this trellis is no greater
than for poles, where both have to be
purchased. II your own woods yield the
poles they will yield tho posts also.

several years, the only thing that re-

and more readily than the common shell
beans, as, if smaller than the true lima,
hey are still larger than the ordi-
nary bean, while having the true lima
flavor.
Another point worthy Of note is the
matter of picking these beans, as in
this one thing lies large share of the
profit. A common error noticeable on
our market is that most Of tho limas

pod should be taken from the vine until
it has begun to assume decided yell
low tinge and feels somewhat limp to
the touch while the beans stand out
quite prominently. In this condition
the beans are at their best for market
ing in the green state, as before this
point is reached they have not attained
their full growth, and after this stage
they diminish in size as they become
ripe. A few days difference in the time
Of picking will make nearly half diff
ference in the quantity OF shelled beans
furnished by a certain number Of pods,
and herein lies the shrewd market

THE DAIRY.

item.
Sec that you have the right tempera-

Orange Judd Farmer.
High prices for dairy products do
not always signify that we are making
more money than we do with lower
prices. High prices are sometimes the
result Of high priced food.
Choice butter is the desideratum OF
every true housewife, and to have such,
its making requires first consideration
and that in detail. No second place
should be allotted ALTERNATING.
-Agood mixer must be good feeder,
but an apparently good feeder Is not al
ways good mixer. A COW must have
the faculty" OF turning food into milk,
or she has no business in the dairy.
A COW is not necessarily to be de-
spised because she is scrub. We have
known scrub cows that were ''corkers,"
to use an inelegant but forcible descrip-
ton. The chief trouble with such cows
is that they may never produce their
like.

TROTTY'S SEWING.

Why Aunt Kate Never Received Her
Little Niece's Present.
Iadge and Edith were each making
a present for their Aunt Rates birth
day. When Trotty saw them sewing
she felt like working, too, and asked
Aunt Florrie ii she couldn't make PIN
cushion for Aunt Kate.
I'll sew it all myself" she said.
Very we'll" answered her aunt,
laughing little as she looked at Trot-
tvs fat little fingers. which never yet
had used needle except to string but
tons.
Aunt Florrie had large box of silk,
satin and velvet pieces which she had
collected for crazy-quilt, and she let
Trotty choose from them the colors she
liked best. Then she cut the pieces in
to twelve small squares, threaded a
needle, and told Trotty to 60 to work.
Trotty sat down on the floor. and laid
the pieces on her lap in four rows, just
the size she wanted the top of the cush-
ion to be. Then she began to sew, TAX
ing very deep stitches. 1t was hard
work for the fat little fingers to draw
tho needle through, and the thread
Would have come out with every stitch
il it had not been tied in.
But at last Trotty said the pieces
were all sewed, and she hoped Aunt
Kate would like the cushion, for it was
such hard work to make it.
.IIand it to me-" said Aunt Florrie,
''and let me see how you have done it. !"
But Trotty found she could not take
the work from her lap
20, Aunt Florrie!" she said, it's stuck
to me: it's all sewed down.
And sure enough, when Aunt Florrie
looked she found that Trotty had sewed
the pin-cushion cover tight to her
clothes. Every stitch had gone through
to her white flannel skirt
..Now, what can we do?" asked Trot.
ty. II can't go round with pin-cush-
ion cover sewed to me-"
We'll have to cut the Stitches" said
her aunt.
Then all my nice sewing will be
wasted" said Trotty; but when she saw
there was no help for it, she let the scis-
sors be used.
Now you can sew the pieces together
again." said Aunt Florrie.
But Trotty could not be persuaded to
work any more.
Aunt Kate received the tidy and the
needle-book on her birthday. but moth
ing more was ever heard of Trot's pin
cushion; and the twelve little squares
found place at last in the bottom OF
