Except to Scotchmen the sounds usually evoked from a bagpipe are not highly musical. A humorist in the Clarion attempts an analysis of them: Big flies on windows--seventy-two per cent; cats on midnight tiles--eleven and one-half per cent; voice of infant puppies--six per cent; grunting of hungry pigs in the morning--five per cent; steam whistles--three per cent; chant of cricket--two per cent.
