THE BAGPlPE.
Something About the National Musical
Instrument of Scotland.

Instrument of Scotland.
The bagpipe of Scotland is the only in
strument Of which it may be said that it
is distinctly national. The violin, the
flute, the horn and other instruments are
common to many nations, but the bagpipe
is peculiar to Scotland, and although it
does not now occupy the position it once
did it is found in no other country.
In the days when the notorious Rob
Roy committed his depredations, when the
Vich Ian Vohrs lived securely In their
highland Businesses and kept up their dig
nified social position-in the stirring times
of which Sir Walter Scott has told us-the
bagpipe player was one Of the important
personages in the chieftain's retinue, and
these may be considered as the palmy days
of the instrument
Within the region more strictly known
as the highlands its shrill note was the
first sound that fell on the ears of inf y;
1t charmed the rude Caledonians in cs
of Joy and comforted them in So
mourning; IL animated their heroes 80
battle and welcomed them back from their
conflicts, and wherever their chiefs went
it accompanied them, even to the grave.
The effect of this wild instrument on
the highland soldiers is marvellous. Above
the rattle of musketry and the turmoil
and roar of the battlefield the inspiring
notes of the pibroch have spoken encour-
agement to the Highlanders and led
them brayely forward. At the battle of
Quebec when the troops were retrating
In disorder and the conflict had most
discouragipg aspect, the general COM
plaint was about the decentralization i'm
Frazer's corps.
"Sir," said an officer, "you did very
wrong In forbidding the pipers to play.
Nothing inspirits the Highlanders 80
much. Even now they would be of some
use."
"Let them blow, then," said the gen.
eral.
So the pipcrs started well known air,
and the highlanders rallied and bravely
returned to the charge.
Some say that the bagpipe came down
from the Romans; others, that 1t cam,
through the northern nations Of Scotland.
At any rate it seems to have always been
one of the musical instruments Of the
Celtic race.
The pipe mentioned in ancient history
was simply what Is known as the shep
herds reed. After time bag was add
cd and subsequently the drones or bur
dcns. There are four forms of the modern
bagpipc - the great highland bagpipe
which is blown by the player, tho dronc'

land lagpipc, which is provided with q
bellows for supplying the wind; Tho

Largest Brick Building.

VERY few know it, but it is fact, +"
explained a prominent builder to a re-
porter, THAT the pension office building
is the largest brick building in the
world. 1t has been subjected to much
criticism, but it can stand it, for as
time passes along there are many things
seen about it that escaped notice when
it was newer. In all there are over TO-
900, 900 bricks in the building. General
Meigs took liberties with bricks that nc
other architect had ever attempted. He
not only used bricks exclusively for the
building, but he used them in construct
ing the stairs throughout the building.
In the matter of stair building bricks
have often been used for the riser, but
the step has always been of iron, wood,
slate or stone. In the pension office both
riser and step are of brick. As brick
building, therefore, pure and simple, ii
is unique in construction outside of the
fact that it is the largest exclusively
brick building in the world. Wash.

The practice of wrapping each loaf O.
bread in oiled paper when it is taker
from the oven and sealing the knot o.
the string holding the paper, as is done
in a few first-class shops on the Other
side, is desirable for protecting breac
when the loaf has to be handled many
times in the process of delivery. The
bread is protected from dust and hand
ling as well as the possibility of bacilli
and the paper prevents the moisture il
the bread from escaping and keeps the
bread fresh.

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs
in throwing off impurities in the
blood. Electric Bitters improves the
appetite, aids digestion, and is pro-
nounced by those who have tried 1t
as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try 1t. Sold for SOC or

A victim of Imagination.

ALondonphysician recently fell from
his bicycle, but no serious injury was
sustained, so far as could be deter
mined. He progressed well for two
weeks, when he suddenly said: Il know
1 am going to die of tetanus next
Sunday" There was no indication of
disease, but he insisted upon having
antitoxin treatment. On Thursday the
disease developed, and on Sunday he
died from its effects. This is supposed
to be a clear case of the disease-produc-
ing power of imagination.

stand the Value of Money.

stand tue NnIue OF money
One of the most serious problems
that meets us in life is that of the
proper use of money. Profess indif-
ference to it as we may, it is the great
factor in human existence, without
which, at the present day, nothing can
go on.
1t seems curious that, in the face OF
social matters as we find them, no more
attention is paid to teaching children
the value of money. How much misery
would be saved were this little precau-
ton takeni A father dies, and sudden
ly family accustomed to live at the
rate of thousand year, discovers
that there is little or nothing left for
them.
If the boys and girls are so FORUM
ate as to procure positions that bring In
q living income, how difficult DO they
find it to live on the amount, simply
because they have never been taught
the value of a quarter. They have
had the use of an allowance as chill
dren, but no idea of its expenditure
has ever been given them. When they
ran short and required more than they
had for some coveted pleasure they
supplied the deficiency by borrowing
of more careful relative, promising
to pay on next allowance day, thus es-
tablishing bad precedent.
Children should not be taught to be
niggardly, but if sufficient income is
allowed them, they should be taught
to make it sufficient. They should be
taught to reflect before spending their
money, so that it may not all 60 for

boy should be taught to scorn as I'M

to permit him a selfshness which may
develop into carelessness of the feel

women,s Curse Fulfilled.

The grave of Thomas Watt at Bryants s
chapel, near Centerville, Ind, was bur-
rowed into by ground hogs and several
of his bones dragged to the surface.
The discovery of the above facts makes
interesting a prophecy uttered years
ago. Thomas Watt was the neighbor-
hood drunkard. His children ran wild
as colts and but little more clothed.
His worthlessness and depravity
aroused the Indignation of his
neighbors, and particularly of an
old woman, who, it is said, had the
gift of divination. She demonstrated
with him, and upon his failure to heed
her advice pronounced curse unon
him. She prophesied that he would die
of violence and his bones would not find
rcpose in the grave. Thomas Watt was
drowned while in an intoxicated cordi-
tion in attempting to cross a sv ol!cn
stream. Now that the latter part Ct the
dismal prophecy has received literal
fullfllment the old woman, who is yet
alive and in the divination business, is
greatly feared and her power as for
tune teller receives much credence.-
