This is probably because it was originally designed to cheer the clansmen when they were fighting. In the hands of a skilled per- former the strains of a Highland bag- pipe carry about six miles, and under speclally favorable conditions as far as ten miles. The Duke of Sutherland owns a bagpipe which figured in the battle of Prestonpans, and must there- fore be nearly 200 years old, yet it can be heard at a distance of eight miles.— London Globe.

Most mothers know that a cough medicine, while palatable, should contain no drug injurious to the child. The great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is ex- plained by the fact that it contains no opium or narcotic of any kind, and at the same time is so pleasant and agreeable to the taste that children like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy For this reason alone it is a favorite with the mothers of young Complete Line of Felt Shoes and Other Warm Footwear for Men and Women. ¢‘Granny” Chamberlain B e e s o heiS-AT808 GHR $1.85 Ladies’ felt, light leather sole, at Ladies’ felt, leather foxed Heavier felt foxed shoe . $2.25 Leather lined, flexible sole, $2.25 Men’s heavy felt, leather foxed ShO® | ... iiieianens $2.50 0000000 L Men’s all-felt, felt sole lace $1.50 i ?

Much Like a Conjuring Trick Is This Old Eastern Process. Many of the oid eastern processes may still be seen in the bazaars of Aleppo. A contributor to Blackwood’s in a recent article describes a man whom he saw at work cleaning wool in exactly the same way as has been the custom in Syria since Biblical days: “In the shelter of one of the arches perhaps you come upon some curious process in full swing. It may be the cleaning of hair or wool or even the making of woolen felt. The cleaning of wool and hair seems to have some- thing of conjuring about it, so imme- diate are the results and so unexpect- ed, compared with the rude implement used. “A man seated cross legged on the paving is the conjurer. His instru- b . ment s a wooden bow, about four feet | ¢34 be: found.

On the e Arabic, which boasts three sep- . 3 floor he ])lz\ves}uhsm:\ll heap of wool | rate sounds resembling the English Communlty Sllvel' Perfume clotted with mud and dirt, and above it stands his bow, its back in the air. its two projecting horns resting on the floor and its strings touching the wool. With a wooden mallet he strikes the strings lightly and sets them twang- ing harmoniously and then rocks the bow and lets its back strike the floor or wall. Between the top of the bow or floor or wall comes a tap of the strings with the mallet, and what with the time he keeps and the twanging strings there is a semblance to the dis- tant sound of a drum and harps. Hav- ing got into time with bow and tap- ping, perhaps he begins to hum a song. “It i8 all a matter of a few seconds only before the wool begins to rise in a soft white cloud around the bow. It goes on rising, and he slightly stirs it, TN~ tha lower part more under the strings, changes the position of the bow a little, but keeps up the rocking and tap-tapping and never breaks the rhythm with which he began. Under the vibrating strings the wool grows into a heap in size like a table, but still he goes on, while a cloud of flne dust rises to the roof of the vault. When he stops he has produced a great mound of soft white, fleecy wool and beneath it is a heap of sand and dirt. So he goes on, in the cool shade of his clois- ter, twanging and tap-tapping and sing- ing and half filling his vault with clean wool as the result of a day’s work with this primitive instrument. “One may see these wool cleaners often, for they are in every town and bazaar. But just as often one stops be- side them to hear the sounding strings, the rhythmical tapping, the monoto- nous song and to see the magical re- sults which follow. It all is a scene as eastern in spirit and as ancient as letter “h,” lacks the -equivalent of “p;" therefore “p” and “b” are often con- fused. The late venerable Dr. Bliss of the Syrian Protestant college once en- tered a classroom .where a native teacher was trying in vain to teach a student the difference between “p” and “b,” says the Christian Herald. Dr.Bliss undertook the case. Gathering up some chalk dust in his hand and holding his hand to his lips, he spoke to the stu- dent: “Do you see this dust in my hand? When I say ‘b’ I do not expel my breath, and the chalk dust stays where it is. But when I say ‘D’ I blow the dust all away.” He did. He blew it all over the enlightened youth. “8kirl” of the Bagpipes.
