A Napier resilient who was worn elsewhere than in the land which Burns, heather, kiltsi hn&aw and othei things hail from, patronised the Ked Cross shop on Scotch Day (says the Herald). There he found many pounds of haggis for sale, and, being in a venturesome frame of mind, purchased a pound or two. fk proudly conveyed the unusual ?diblc to his wife, and next day it occupied a .prominent place on the dinner table. When the haggis had, been served round and tlie first mouthful taken, the assembled faces assumed o very disappointed look. So one took o second mouthful, and later the 'haggis was placed at the disposal of the feathered occupants of the fowl-house. Next day the disappointed haggis buyer informed a, Scotch friend that he did not think much of haggis as a dish. The friend made a few tactful enquiries, in which he learnt that the haggis buyer had thought cooking was not necesary, and had placed it on the table raw. He had' looked on it as another , specic3"'o.f black pudding or German sausage. ' »
