BLOWING THE PIPES.
Scotch Musio Lesson by a Clever
Highland Master.
A highland piper who had a pupil to
teach originated a method by which,
says a writer in Blackwood's Maga
zine, he succeeded in reducing the dif
ficulties of tho task to a minimum nnd
at the same time fixed bis lesson in
the pupil's mind.
"Here, Donald," said he, "tak yor
pipes, lnd, an' gie us a blast.
"So! Verra weel tlawn indeed, but
what's a sound, Donald, wi'out sense?
You may blaw forever wi'out making
n tune o't if 1 dannn tell ye how the
queer things on the paper mnun
help yc.
"Ye seo thnt big fellow wl' n round
open face" polntiug to n Beralbreve
"between two lines of a bnr? He
moves slowly from that lino to this,
while yo beat nne wl' your fist an' gle
u long blast.
"If yo put a leg to hlra ye male' twa
o' him, nn' he'll move twice ntt fast.
"If, now, ye black his face he'll run
four times faster than the fellow wl'
the white face, nnd If. after blacking
his faco, ye'll bond bis knee or tie his
leg he'll hop eight times faster thiin
(lie while faced chap I showed ye
first.
"Now." concluded the piper m.-nlen
tlously, "whene'er ye blaw your pipes,
Donald, remember this that the lighter
those fellows' legs are tied the faster
they'll run and tho quicker they're sure
to dance."
Railway Journeys of Long Ago.
It was only the adventurous who
dared to face n railway Journey in
18211. A writer In the Quarterly He
view commenting on tbe proposed line
to Woolwich, remarked, "We would ns
soon expect the people of Woolwich to
suffer themselves to be llred off upon
one of Cougreve's rockets ns trust
themselves to the mercy of such a
machine going ut muh n rate." The
third class enrrlnge of those dny was
a thing of horror. "It hud no roof
and no seats," writes .1. (!. Wright.
"Into this the passengers were pm koil
and had to stand during I he whole
Journey or, If there w as room, to squat
on the door, exposed to the rain or
sun nnd bouibnrded by sparks emitted
from the cnglno. Second class passen
gers were kindly advised to provide
themselves with gauze spectacles uud
to sit as far from the engine as possi
ble." London Spectator.
A Monument to Cheerfulness.
Tho following quaint epitaph Is to
be seen In Cray ford churchyard, Kent.
It strikes ono as one of the prettiest
monuments to cheerfulness In all Mer
rle Knglnnd: "Here lleth the body of
Peter Isnel (thirty years clerk of thli
pariah). He lived respected as a plonk
and n mirthful uinn nnd died on his
way to church to assist at n wedding
on the Slst day of March, 1S11, aged
seventy years. Tho Inhabitants of
Cray ford have raised this atone to his
cheerful memory and as a tribute to
his long nnd faithful servU'e."-Loudou
Standard.
Dutch Humor.
Hero are two specimen Jokes from
Dutch papers of tho day:
Mr, Newly Hich (to landlord) - I
hear you have raised oil your rents.
Why haven't you raised mluo as well?
