There are on record many Instances of hasty marriages, but as far as heard from a Canadian Immigrant holds the prlxe. Ho tells the story of his courtship himself. "When I arrived at the boarding house in Newcastle, N. B.," he says, "I found my self sitting next to a young woman at sup per, whom I soon found was one of the newly arrived Immigrants. I looked her over and saw a round, strong, cheery lass with a laughlngJCace, and thought she'd do. I did not know how to go about getting ber Interested in mo, but Just spoko a word or two with her and when we came out Into the passage I squeezed her hand and gave her a klas. "Sayo she, 'How dare you?' Says I, 1 want to marry you, my dear.' "Marry me?' she says laughing, 'why, I don't know you.' 'No more do I you, my dear, say I, 'so that makes It all fair and even.' She didn't know how to put a stopper on that, so she only laughed and said she could not think of It. 'Not think of H says I, artful like. 'not when you've come all those thousands of miles for ths purpose?' " 'What do you- mean?' says she, starting. 'Come, now,' says L 'Don't tell me. I know what's what. When a man emigrates it's to get work; when a woman emigrates ita to get married. You may as well admtt It at once.' "Well, she protested and held off a bit, but we were married two days after and I guess neither of us have been sorry for It since. You see It was my knowing tbe ways of the sex so well that enabled me to rush things through as I did. Nothing like understanding 'em when It comes to court ship saves time and trouble no end." FATTENING A MOORISH BRIDE.- Quaint Preparations for the Weddlna- Celebratloa. The moment a Moorish maiden Is en gaged It Is the bounden duty of her parents to fatten her up like a lamb for sacrifice. And this is where man Intervenes to thwart the plans of nature. . The male Is generally slim, wiry, sinewy, all bone, muscles and thews, and he likes his mate to be as com plete a contrast to himself as possible, says an exchange. So she has to train for It, and persevere until she becomes a woman of four dimen sions, an unwleldly bolster of solid flesh, wherein (he soul is entombed forever. Every morning she takes the soft part of hSsr wheaten bread and rolls It Into long round pieces about twice the length of her little finger and of the girth of her thumb. After each meal she eats three or four of these, gradually Increasing the dose. At first, while the spirit Is willing and the flesh still weak, she Is allowed to wash them down with milk or green tea. Later on liquids are tabooed. Most girls manage in time to put away fifty or sixty of these aids to obesity every day. By the time the wedding day comes around ths brides have wholly lost their sllmness, and after a few years they have irretrievably forfeited tho female form divine, and resemblo bugs sacks of down. Ons of these ladles having emigrated to Spain, her friends there had to have a hugs crescent hewn out of the dinner table to accommodate ber. In Morocco tables are not yet ths fashion, no mors than knives and forks. . Criticising tha Klngr.
