Hunting For an Old Man.

In the biography of DR.. Norman Mac
Leod there is an amusing account given
Of a visit he paid to M of the Western
islands to see a man who was celebrated
in the district for his great age. The
doctor found an old man 1--WE can only
quote from memory sitting on a bench
outside tie mouse and gave him the usual
greeting, 81 board that you were a very
wonderful old man, and I've come to see
you" It'll be my father you want to
see," said the old man of the bench. So
the visitor went inside, and there, sit
ting over the peats, was a very old man
indeed, bent and doubled up, but still,
for all that, with all his wits about him.
"Good day to you," said the good doc
tor. II have heard about you, a very
wonderful old man, and I've come to see
you" Then he, too, declined the impu-
tation and pointed with his stick to the
"ben" of the house. It'll be my father
you want to see," said this old man of
the freside. So there in the ''ben" the
original Simon Pure was discovered at
last, a very, very ancient old man in
deed, as may well be imagined.-Mac-
millan's Magazine.

Bride Hunting For Bridegroom.

A policeman at Portobello on going
his rounds very early one morning dis
covered a young man on the roof of a
low building. and naturally believing
him to be a burglar seized him. He was
surprised ON seeing that he was evident
ly in his best clothes, and still more so
when on searching for burglars tools he
found only a piece of bride cake. The
captive offering no explanation the Off
Ger was puzzled. Suddenly a party of
young women-a bride and bridesmaid
approached in an excited state. They
were evidently searching for some valu-
able which had been lost. On catching
sight of the culprit there was a shout of
"Why, here he ISL The poor bride
seemed greatly moved.
During the marriage festivities he had
for some unexplained reason slipped
away from the scene, and his friends
had divided into parties, searching high
and low for the runaway. They We're
naturally greatly astonished that he had
preferred a cold roof in winter time to
the society of his charming bride. With
out any more fuss they took possession
of the fugitive from matrimony. who
looked somewhat depressed, and bore
him away in triumph.-Scotsman

A BewiIdered Sunflower,

Sir Robert Ball tells an amusing anec-
dote Illustrating Moore's words, 1.-The
sunfower turns to her god when he sets
the same look that she turned when he
rose" An explorer, he said. intent on
proving the truth or otherwise of this the
DRY, took out a sunfiower seed to the arc
tic regions and planted it there. In the
course of time the plant and flow
cred vigorously-just, however, at the
season when the sun never sets in the arc
tic circle; so the poor %sunfower, true to
its nature, followed the process of the
sun, expecting it to disappear at night in
the ordinary course, but as the sun did not
set at all, the flower strained itself round
andround until it twistedit its own head off.

Left In One Car In One Month.

A brown paper parcel of goodly pro-
portions was turned in at the lost article
bureau of the Wagner Palace Car COM
pany a few days ago, the contents OF
which give a fair idea of the kind of ar
ticles that the travellers on the rail leave
behind them in their forgetfulness. The
bundle aforesaid contained the collection
of lost articles made by the conductor of
Il sleeping a for a month. The va
riety of articles thus accumulated was
amusing as well as interesting. When
the bundle was united on the broad ia
BILE in the lost article bureau, the first
thing that rolled out was q silver han
died shaving brush. There was no &C
companying razor, the owner probably
having remembered to put that useful
instrument back in his satchel. A full
set of false teeth nestled costly in a clus-
ter Of false hair and a small copy of the
Episcopal prayer book was jarnmed
against a neat leather covered pocket
flask. Of toothbrushes and hairbrushes
and combs there were half a dozen each.
Other things in this odd collection in
cluded a baby's milk bottle, a pair of
ladies' slippers, one patent leather shoe
one worn by a man, a woolen under
shirt, manicure set in Russia morocco
case, two or three empty portmonnaies,
and, most singular of all, a dainty little
bonnet so attractive in form and color
that it is a wonder how any woman
could have forgotten it.-New York
Times.

A Scene In q Maine Town.

One of Caribou's popular young bust
ness men was in Buckield recently with
his bride, and when about leaving town,
just before the train started, the bride
discovered that she had left one Of her
wraps behind. A messenger was dis
patched in haste to bring the garment,
and the conductor very kindly held the
train. The messenger arrived, and the
conductor, impatiently waiting for the
couple to enter the car, saw them start
on a mission among their many relatives,
and then remarked that unless his train
started at once he would be obliged to
claim q kiss from the bride. The happy
young married married man heard the
remark and hustled his bride on the car,
while his relatives and many friends
shook their handkerchiefs and hands as
the door closed and the train pulled out
from the station.-Aroostook Me.) Re-

The Mernsr, of yillains.

Although the world is said to know
nothing of its greatest men, it has al
ways had an unaccountable and it would
seem invincible propensity for retaining
remembrance of the very worst speci-
mems of humanity, and it is really ques-
tionable whether the laurel of the con-
queror and the bays of the poet are, in
the long run, quite SO certain of enduring
fame rs the halters which have strangled
the most notorious of scoundrels. The
French have not forgotten those old
time villains Cartouche and Mandrin,
while in England Dick Turpin and his
apocryphal ride to York have not passed
from the public memory.
The exploits of Jack Sheppard as a
burglar and prison breaker turn up
from time to time in the public prints,
and it is an almost scandalous fact that
quite modern fashionable dressmakers
have devised a costume named after
Claude Duval, a rascal in whose career
there is not n single picturesque or
romantic feature beyond the dubious
story that he once refrained from steal
ing the jewels of a lady whose coach he
had stopped on condition that she would
alight from her equipage and dance a
coranto with him. The varlet was a
discharged footman of the Duchess of
Portsmouth, and, taking the highway,
was in due course of time caught, con-
victed and hanged at Tyburn. Yet
somehow or another it seems next to
the impossible to bury the memory of
these and similar malefactors in obliv-
ion.-Boston Herald.

A PRISON AND PALACE.
Behold the tall and lambert spire

Behold the tall n lambent spire
Irradiate with sunset fire,
Those windows smit with twilight beams.
With evenings iridescent CLEANS:
How they reflect the early night,
Its mingling gold and lazulite,
And how those tall TRANSPORTED towers
Bloom 'gainst the night like granite flowers
How grandly lifts yon burnishel dome
A skyey shape of fire and foaml
"What are the buildings, friend?" said l.
'That loom against the eastern sky,
And dashed with many a sunset CLEAN
Look like the palace of dream?'
"Them buildings, boss" the man replied
A sly smile in his features pale
"You just lookout you keep outside;
Them buildings is the county JAIL"
Panied at this ending Of my dream.
This anticlimax to my theme,
found a poultice for my pain
In this wise moralizing strain:
We all liv in a county Jail
Whose towering walls we I'M scale.
Though firmly, all in vain, we press
Against its granite stubbornness.
Dull, cold as fate, its walls arise
And shut our vision from the skies.
But when hopes sunlight falls upon
Its thick and heavy walls of stone,
They loom against the coming night,
TRANSPORTED in a mystic light,
And, bathed in gold II amethyst,
The granite grows as soft as mist
Transformed becomes the culprit's Jail.
And from its towers cloud banners fling
Their gorgeous windings to the gale
1t is O palace of q king!

Crow Quilts Make the Best Pens.

A quill penmaker says that no pen
will do as fine writing as the crow quill.
It requires the assistance of a microscope
to make a proper pen out of such a quill,
but when made it is of wonderful deli.
cacy. The microscopic writing told of
in books of literary curiosities was all
done with a quill. The steel pens
of the present have very fine points, but
somehow a finer point can be given to a
quill than has ever been put on a steel
pen, and for delicacy nothing can equal
it.-New York Tribune.
