It has, however, been my lot, and in this I consider myself fortunate, to bea wit ness,andin asmall way a partic pant. in the zealous though miniature demonstra- tions of a viilage in the country—l beg my townsmen’s pardon—in the kingdom of Fife; which kingdom, as its iwhabitants would proud:y tell vou, is bounded on the north by the Tay, onthe south by the Forth, on the east by the North Sea and on the west by the adjoining kingdom of Great Britain. Imagine then a Fifesture parish, ¢xtend- ing from within a mile of the Firth Forth northward for some five miles till it of & mean altitude of about 250 feet which ferme the buundary between it and the adjoining parish. Arising grandly from various points on this ridge are a number of what an Englishman would eall high hills, but which are cnly intelligible to a Fifer as Jews. These stand out majestically in-the long Scottish summer twilight, and as their_grim outlines slowly melt irto the night their adaptability for the purpose of bonfire or beacon must impress itself upon all who observe them in this record year. Acting upon the recommendation of the Ceuaty Council, the various parishes un dertook to arrange each its own provramme of jubilee festivities, The programme itselfwvas a secondary consideration, the primary being the obtairing of -funds; but &@ meeing O° the parishioners, convened by one.of the smaller proprietors, the appoint ment Of a comm ttee and a staff of collec- tors, a xecond mee.! ~a week later, and, presto, £35 in the hands of the committee. With this sum at the disposal of the parish, the spending of it was an easy ‘matter. A supply of tea and coals to every poor family ip the parish, the balance to defray the cost of a bonfire and the barrel of beer which muat lie to windward. QA magnanimous offer from a lady of the neighbourhood to entertain the school children of the parish having evolved it- self jater into an invitation to every inhat- itant of the parish to spend the afternoon in the grounds of her mansion, itonly now remained to.fiil in tbe details of the pro- gramme thus slmost spontaneously out- lined. The morning of the 22nd broke in the typical Scottish fashion—clou js and mist; but this fact served to dampen the spirits only of those who were lacking in experi- ence of the vagaries of the Scottish climate. Hours before:the sun actually showed bimselfevery Louse in the villege, or ratber, 1 must confess, every house save one, showed its bit of colour iv the fori of email flags, banners, tloral emblems, etc. | | should, after several years observation of Scottish character, have been piepa:ed for something of this kind, but as I never at any time hearda word drop from any of v the effect that the my veighbors to townsfolk individually were contem- plating anything in the way of decoration on the 22nd, it happened that until nine o’clock on that morning our house was conpicuous by its absence of adornment. Plainly something had to be done. As the only Canadiana in the town we felt that the reputation of the banne> colony was at stake—but how’? The shops were all closed for the day and there was not a bit of bunting in the house. Now, at any rate, a knowledge of another side of the Scott came to my aid. | could find a draper in his house hehind his shop, and though his shutters were up in loyalty to his fellow-tradesmen as well as to his Queen, I felt sure that even on Qoceu's day, the ‘sicht o’ the siller’ would prove at all events equal to the former incentive. So with apn air of unconeern that would have done credit to an inhabitant of a * Scott Act ” town, I sauntered leisurely along to the back door of the nearest draper, and in a short time our house showed an array of color second to none snd surpassing al] in that it pre- sented onef emblem which was not gener- ally at first understood,— a huge represen- tation of the “Maple Leaf” surinounting the front entrance At 2.30 p. m, the forma! proceedings of the dey began by the assembling, in the town ball of the school children of the parieh to the number of 390, and as many of their parents and friends as there was room for, to listen to a short religious service conducted by the parish and united Presbyterian cleryymen, At 3: ovlock the children and citizens, headed | by a band of pipers, proceeded to a new recreation park which had been presented to the town on the oceasion of the Diamond Jubilee, by the Lord of the Manor —the Right Hon. the Karl of Crawford and Ralcanes.
