WELLS & RICHARDSON CO., Montreal. Steve's Proposals. m`= -BY AN OLD CONTRIBUTOR. I -do not know exactly how many of us ran to Steve's office, but it was a sufficient force to capture him, and lead him triumphantly home. Kitty had been picked up, and was lying on the lounge, white, still, but plucky. "I have broken my .arm,'• she said, abruptly. '1I am very sorry to trouble you, but will you please set it?" Steve bent' over the little figure with a face full of. tenderness. "Oh, I've filled out the program of fainting and hysterics," said Kitty, brusquely, "so you can proceed to business." Then Steve's face took its 'hardest professional gravity, and he took off mamma's bandage from Kitty's left arm. She never flinched, but her lips were firmly compressed, and I could see her right hand clenched in her dress. Bell was the doctor's assistant in setting the arm. The next day, when Steve called, Kitty was in the big arm chair, having walked the floor most of the night, in agonies of pain, Her cheeks were scarlet, her eyes blazing, but she reso- lutely sat still, though her whole little figure was quivering with feverish torture. "This will never do," said Stev in a vexed tone, "Did you take the dto s?" "Yes." "And had no cease from the pain?" ' "No. I've got neuralgia in rt, said Kitty. "I always have neuralgia on the very smallest provocation." "You must lie down and try to rest." "But the pain is worse lying down," said Kitty, pitifully, her lips quiver- ing. try to put your arm in an easy position." And then, in a mast- erful way khat amazed us all, he took Kitty into his own strong arms and carried her to the bed. "There," he said, arranging pillows deftly, and putting the arm in a posi- tion to suit him, "is that better?" "Yes," said Kitty, quite subdued. "Now, Mrs Warren, if you will see that h clothing is looye I will write "Moppets has got the measles!" "Ohl oh! oh!"in a chorus of voices, ?Masculine and feminine, all pitched in the key -note of display. "Of course," said Mr Warren, in the tone of the father of the family, "it will run through the nursery. How many are there yet to take it?' Mrs Warren hesitated, then said: "Five." By which it may be inferred that Nye, the Warren aforesaid, are not a Mall family. In fact, there are thir- teen of us, ranging from twenty-four ,gears of ' age down to Moppets just Stepping over the boundary line be- tween one and two, the pet and dar- ling of the household, as much belov- ed and honored as if babies were a positive novelty, whereas there has fieen an "old baby" and a "new baby" in constant frequent succession for twenty-four years. "Five,' repeats papa, "Well, my dear, I will call for-' Then there is a pause, and the faces round the breakfast table grow, if possible, more dismayed than ever. "Here it is!" said mamma, almost Crying. "We will have to depend up- on Steve." Now Steve is Dr. Richards, who has been practising medicine in Applegate for five years, and may be, for all we know. the best physician in the world, but to us he is lust "Steve" our play- fellow and friend since he was in kfiickerbockers, and we cannot divest ourselves of the idea that he is a big boy playing doctor. As long as he was assistant to Dr. Green it did not matter, but Dr. Green departed this life about three months before Moppets had the measles and there was no phy- sician in Applegate but Stephen Rich- ards, M.D. "We might send to New York," pa- pa suggests, "but it would really in- jure Steve very much if his -old friends showed such a marked distrust, and Green _ thought him very clever, de- voted to his profession, and -sure to get on. I'll send him in." Then papa, after being smothered in kisses, wriggled into his overcoat, and departed. "Steve Richards!" said Kitty, grand- ly, "Poor little Nloppets!" Then Kitty swept out of the room. It was no secret in the Warren family that Steve had adored Kitty since the days of the aforementioned knicker- bocker s, and that Kitty had refused to marry him as many times as she had fingers and toes. But of late Steve had made himself uncommonly scarce. Bell thought Kitty had given him an unusually se- vere snubbing, and rather repented her cruelty. Bell is our eldest; mam- ma's right hand; the "little mother" of all the rest. Tall, blonde, handsome and capable. We are all healthy, good-tempered. and take life as a huge joke, excepting - Kitty. Poor Kitty, Dr. Green said, was a little bundle of raw nerves - sensitive, quivering nerves. Moppets was found to he feverish and cross, with red eyes, sore throat, and an imperative will, said will de- manding Kitty's constant attention. And when Steye, with his most pro- fessional air, drove up to the door. and Kitty would have retreated, Mop- pets�_clung to her with a hoarse shriek. Kitty was very stately-, and Steve was strictly professional, giving minute directions to mamma, acknowledging Kitty's presence only by n cool "Good - morning. The "five" did their duty faithfully in the way of "measles," and Steve won laurels of commendation from mamma and Betty, our old nurse, who said be "knew what he was about" - strong praise from Betty. One day there was a grand clearing up. The nursery was aired, the small invalids scattered all over the house more or less cross, and Kitty, who haci been at Moppets's beck and call day and night, was helping Bell carry bot- tles and towels down stairs, when, with a crash, she fell, waiter and all, at the foot of the longest staircase. A rush of Warrens, great and small, to the scene of disaster found poor little Kitty, white as a ghost, totally insensible ane evidently badly hurt. rrif U.141N.CON NEW ERA Arlo -TAR Soap use ll natm ( fING Eptspno$i nc.

Mr Stanley will go to the Pacific :oast by way of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and will no doubt have much to say regarding us when he returns to Britain three months hence. His actual exploring days are done, he affirms, though he still takes a very warm interest in Africa. The great need of "the Dark Continent," he affirms, is railways.

In reply to an inquiry she stated that she ad come from Glenelg, and not having any fodder at home, was driving the cattle to her sister's, who lives near Mitchell, to winter. Besides the cattle, her sole companion on her long tramp was a faithful dog. At Sarnia, on Friday, as Hubbard Her- endeen and Edward Kelly were engaged "slashing down" one of the masts on the barge Severn, they were suddenly precipi- tated to the deck of the boat.

The opi- ate cannot act if you are marching up and down. Don't you get up until I see you." Even Bell opened her eyes a little wider for Steve had been Kitty's slave for years. It was almost comical to hear him, but Kitty's sauciness flashed up. "Yes, your Highness," she said, "to hear is to obey." Steve would not senile. "See that you do!" he said, grimly. In spite of his care he could not drive off the fever. Kitty, the only delicate one amongst us, had a tough time of it for the next three weeks; and it was a very shadow of her saucy self that Dr. Richards at last pro- nounced "out of danger." She recovered very slowly; but Steve was the most attentive of doc- tors, never by any chance forgetting he was in professional attendance. We were all packing up for a month at the sea side, when Steve told papa .that he was thinking of leaving Ap- plegate. "It is a hard struggle here," he said; for I was a scapegrace of a boy all my life here until I went to college." "But are you not dependent upon your :profession," said. papa. _ "No; I have a sufficient income, as far as that goes; but I love my work, and I want to build up a larger prac- tice. Besides, I have other reasons." Bell told Kitty the substance of all this when she took up the dinner -tray; for Kitty had not yet left her room. Just as Bell concluded there was a rap on the door, and in walked Steve. "Ohl" Kitty cried, "you are not real- ly going awayl Who will take care of my arm?" And then Kitty suddenly realized her impulsiveness, and flushed all over her little pale face. Bell vanish- ed for "some more salt" and I whisk- ed into the next room, but not before I heard: "Kitty, will you let me stay and take care of you all my life?" I did get outof ear -shot then, and skit wished down stairs to tell Bell, in str ict confidence, that: "Steve was proposing again, and I verily believe that Kitty will say yes." Which belief proved prophetic, and the War tens now number "fourteen," if you count our brother-in-law, Dr. Richards." without easy means of moving pro duce and merchandise, The country in which he labored, Mr Stanley says, is gradually becoming more civilized. It has governors, judges, churches, a cathedral and schools. The people are intelligent. It is a mistake to suppose they at e all black, the truth being that they are every shade of brown and copper color. BABY NEARLY DIED.

Careful scientific tests have proven it to be more easily digested than milk, butter, or any other fat.

The convention of the letter carriers of the Dominion, held in London last week, was an interesting event. In no direction has greater progress been made than in the growth of postoffice business in the country. In the early years of the century, letter carrying was in private hands. and even after this part of the country had made substantial progress, only the well-to- do could conduct correspondence with any degree of freedom. Sixty years ago, indeed, many letters lay for months in this neighborhood because the early immigrants were unable to pay the large sum demanded for post- age. There has been great progress since then. A decided impetus was given to postal progress when the free delivery was established by the Gov- ernment of Alexander Mackenzie in 1876. This was a very proper advance on the cheap letter rate which had been in force for some time previously. As a class, letter carriers are among the most valuable and painstaking of our public servants, and they deserve greater consideration at the hands of the Government than they have hith- erto done. It may he laid down as a safe and general rule that the less the Govei'n- nient,State or Nat ional,interferes with private business, occupation and affairs of men, the better itwill be for the classes and for all the people. What the farmers want is what all others nrofess to desire -good government ,ionestly and economically administer- ed, fair play and an open field in the race of life. All else must be left to Providence and to themselves. -Hon. D. B. Hill. CHILDREN CRY FOR IT• I certify that there is nothing near as good as Dr. Low's Worm Syrup. My children used to cry for it.

At Formosa, Ont., on Thursday, a young Syrian living in Walkerton, a;,,l who had been in the habit of peddling goods through the country, was attacked by four savage tiamps about noon, near Formosa. The Syrian was en route to Formosa, on the road leading from Formosa to Mildmay, half a mile from the village, where a small bush comes to the road, when two of the tramps came to him and asked him for a watch. He was in the act of showing the watch when the tramps knocked him on the head and began to treat him most in- humanly. Two more tramps came to them, and they placed a rubber ball in his mouth so that he could riot cry for help. They disfigured his face terribly, tore his clothes, bound hint on fence -rails, took the cash, amouniing to $10, and the goods he had with him, and made their escape. Pontiac, Mich., is going a little fur- ther in the enforcement of Sunday laws than any other place yet heard from.
