THE END.

When choirs OF singers were estab-
lishcd in Scotland and attempts made
to get the congregations to sing, il was
necessary that decided pitch should be
given TO them to start on. To this end
pitch pipes were brought into the sing
ers' gallery.
Wooden pipes were also used, and
then metal tuning forks.
A canny Scotchman, who abhorred
the thought Of all musical instruments
anywhere--as some among us do still
managed to have enc fling at the pitch
pipe. The pitch had been given, but was
too high, and before the first verse was
ended the choir had to cease singing.
Our Scotchman stood up and pointed
his long finger TO the leader, saying in
broad accents of scorn:
"Ah. Johnny Smith, now ye can have
n chance to blaw yer Draw whussle
again. "-Pearson's Weekly.
