Bride Hunting For Bridegroom.

A policeman at Portobello ON going
his rounds very early one morning dis
covered 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 were
naturally greatly astonished that he had
preferred cold roof in winter time to
the society Of his charming bride. With
out any more fuss they took possession
Of the fugitive from matri1nony, who
looked somewhat depressed, and bore
him away in triumph

If there is any better way
for people to get all the ad-
vantages of trading we would
like to find it out. Large

A BewIIdered snnhnrrer.

Sir Robert Ball tells an amusing anec-
dOte illustrating Moore's words, "The
sunhower 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
ory, took out a sunhower seed to the arc
tic regions and planted it there. In the
course of time the plant came up and flow
cred vigorously-just, however, at the
season when the sun never sets in thearc-
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 thesun didnot
set at all, the flower strained itself round
andround untilit twisted its own head off.
