A Habit Stanley Had.

1t was remarked of the late Sir Fl. NJ
Stanley during his last visit to New
York that he stood all the time with
his back to the wall during receptions
instead of standing out where people
would pass behind him.
Lady Stanley laughingly explained
that this was an old habit contracted
in Africa-that Stanley always stood
with his back against a tree or bar
ricade of some sort when brought in
contact with the savages. and it had
become such Il habit with him that he
took that position no matter where he
was.
