Points on Proposing.

An old fashioned book of etiquette
contains chapter on courtship that is
exceedingly naive. Any young man
who might be contemplating a proposal
Of marriage was urged strongly to Sc
lect with care and due forethOught the
proper time and place for such pro-
posal. For instance, he should never
propose to a young woman while out
boating, for if she should happen to re-
fuse him it would be difficult to reach
shore Immediately, and the situation
would obviously be awkward.
On the other hand, If she should ac-
cept him the situation would be equally
undesirable since too close a proximity
and certain attitudes incident to the
circumstances are known to threaten
the safety Of boat; also said young
man was advised never to propose to a
young woman just before dinner Hav-
Ing been without eating for some hours,
she would doubtless be in a less ami
able frame of mind than usual and
might under these conditions refuse an
offer which at another time would seem
desirable.

Such Is Fame.

The following story concerning John
Forster, the biographer of Dickens,
was told by the late Sir Wemyss Reid:
In the days of his youth Sir Wemyss
showed great desire to embark upon
a journalistic career, whereupon an
old friend of the family in Newcastle
told him that going to London and
writing for the papers would bring
him no good, adding:
Il mind there was a decent friend of
mine, auld Mr.. Forster, the butcher in
the side. He had a laddie Just like
you, and nothing would serve him but
he must go away to London to get ed
dicated, as he called it, and when he
had got dedicated he wouldn't come
back to his fathers shop, though it
was u first class business. He would
do nothing but write and write and
write, and at last he went back again
to London and left his poor auld IA
ther alone, and Ave never heard tell
Of that laddie since"
''lt was thus" concluded Sir Wemyss,
that the fame of John Forster, the
author of The Life of Goldsmith and
the destined biographer of Charles
Dickens, was cherished in his native
town by his fathers ancient friends!"

no reason to doubt if the commission will
be convoked. This doubt is based upon
the fact that in certain quarters the atti-
tude of the delegates is regarded as indi-
eating that the labor movement has fallen
completely under the control of political
agitators, producing a condition which
would afford small prospect of the COM
mission being productive of results ac-
ceptable to employers or the government.
The advocates of the commission believe
that the government will not meet the
condition set forth by the resolutions of
the Peoples Palace meeting. 1t is said
that the men formulated these demands
without any expectations that they will
be granted, and 1t is affirmed tonight that
unless the men recede, there will be no
commission, but that the government will
go ahead with scheme of reforms with
out taking counsel formally of the repre-
sentatives of capital and labor.

the theory of germs in wall paper, saying
