Never before was there anything like it, nor are its marvellous properties likely over to be equalled in diseases arising from imparo blood. It searches out and expols from the vitaf current avery lurking trace of palsumons matter, caring blood and skin diseases, ecroinions and glandular swellings, bad legs, abscesses, ulcers, eczema, gout, rheuma tiam, goitre or Darbyshire Neck, eto. It improves the general health and quickly romoves long-standing bronchitis, asthma and fiacking, straining, spasmodis cough, too often the precursor of consumption.

But both countries are inadequate in their appreciation. The Englishman'a ramark was that having been brought up near a swine shambles he liked to hear the pipes occasionally, because it re- minded him of home. And of the Ameri- can it is recorded that she (for it was a woman), after listening attentively to a number of selections, being asked how she liked it, replied she thought it was lovely; some one then rashly enquired which tune she had liked best."

The three long arms of wood that project from the bagpipe are the drones. The two small ones are tuned to what is roughly middlo A on the piano, and the large one is an octave lower. The lowest nota on the chanter (the part which is fingered' is middla A, so that even a person having only a rudimentary knowledge of music will understand that the drones lend depth and fullaces to the music, striking a perpetual chord which harmonises with the air.

COMRADESHIP..
The scoret of blowing the pipes is not, as many people suppose, based on the possession of enormously powerful langs: although, to be sure, good healthy lungs are required. But, as in the case of so many other things, it turns out to be chiefly a knack. The knack, to wit of being able to keep the bag, which is a reservoir of air, continually full and taut. This is done by alternately blow- ing and pressing with the left elbow. Bagpipe blowing greatly develops the langs and the statement is sometimes made that it overdevelops them to au injurious degree.
The famous "skirl" of the pipes in produced by the grace notes of war- blera." These are done by flickors or flirts of the fingers and frequently have to be executed with lighting speed. Real pro- ficiency in them requires many years of practice.
