"SCOTS WHA HAE!"
There are various forms of music. Somo have a partiality for the piano. These are not, a.s a- rule, the neighbours. Some show a fondness for the violin, but not a,s played by learners. A few have oven been known to revel in the sweet cadences of a Salvation Army Band. But these have generally scattered when the hat has been passed around. And, as for the bagpipes, well, they stand out completely on their own in every place excepting Hastings. In that township of peaches and motor-cars a young man was haled before the ■Court on a charge of wantonly disturbing the inhabitants by nsing a noisy instrument, to wit, playing bagpipes in the street. Now everybody witli 'the poetry of music in his composition must know that bagpipes are
not noisy instruments. They possess the sweet softness of mountain dew, tho fragraneo of heather, tho inspiration of the voice that breath';! o'er Rdon. And to .say that bagpipes could disturb the inhabitants! Dot moil! No wonder tho Magistrate dismissed the rase!
