The •aneient ceremony of the 'burning a the Clavie," a aurvival of the fire-worebipping customs of the Norsemen, is still observed aanually at Berghead, Scotlend. Last year it was not only the younger element in the town that jothed la the event. Willie the crowd at the formal lighting was solely of Yeutha, this was far froxri being the ease at ' the actual borniag on the hill. By that time more than half the spectators were people of Maturer years, who hailed the cerenionial benfire with a surpriaing degree of enthusiasm, The Clavie, explains the "Aber- deen journal," eonsists of an Arch- angel tar barrel, which is presented annually by the provost of the burgh, The barrel is sawn in half, and the lower end is fixed to a sahnon fish- er's stake, tile actual joining being made by a nail specially forged by Mr. William Sandison, the • local blacksmith and hammered' by a beach stone, the use of a hammer or other implement being deemed irre- verent. The work of preparation complet- ed, the "Clavie Ring," aud hiscrew of three returned home to change for the hazardous task of the evening, At six o'clotin k to the mute, amid the cheers of the gathering crowd, little Arthur Peterldn—a youthful relative of the •"King" brought the usual glowing peat front Miss Jef- frey's, Brander street, who for many years has had the honor of supply- ing this means of Lighting the Ciavie. Blown into ilaate t e "King" and droppea into the barre now half filled with tar -soaked combustibles, the peat did its work, and cheers rent the air as the flames shot upwards, mounting higher as further food for the blaae wes Added, a pailful of tar &Wining the kindling. Now burning furiously, the Clavie was hoisted on the shoulders of the doughty crew and rushed through the principal thoroughfares of the Own, Occasionally a halt was made and blazing faggots were unceremonious- ly hurled into Open house -doors, the crew, whether by accident. or prefer- ence, seeming to give precedence to tenants of licensed premises as the recipients of what are prized as charms for the remainder of the year. Arrived at the Doorie Hill, enthus- iasm reached still greater heights as the Clavie was set into the altar stone on the summit. Fearless as to their own •safety, members of the crew mounted the •stone and added pailful after pailful of tar to the blaze, till the crowd on the hill were almost hidden as clouds of dense black smoke, interspersed with sparks billowed upwards, • The most exciting part was yet to come, however. The half -emptied tar barrel was emptied on the ground round the altar, and the barrel plac- ed on top, the Clavie sending flames leaping still hieher. A blazing faggot set the whole hill afire, streams of burning tar running front the summit almost to the road- way beneath. The flaming tar bar- rel tottered and crashed among the spectators, splintering as it fell, vriaile the crowd struggled to gain posses - of one of the coveted pieces of wood.The Clavie stick, the possession of which is highly cherished, was after- wards sold for five shillings. t "- A. 1L & F.

In 1929 it had dwindled to less than 38,000,000 pounds. • The reason given is that grading has in reality improved the quality of Can- adian baron and that more of it is consumed at home. The reputation of Canadian bacon stands supreme on the American continent and is equal to any bacon offered in Great Bri- tain. The most preseing need at the present tine in relation to the Cana- dian bacon industry is larger produc- tion and continuous supply. Made No Difrerenee. _ .

As you say, only a powerful man, or something very powerful, could have dealt this blow. A man could not have done it, except with some great, heavy weapon that by its own weight would gather tremendous momentum. It was dark, and the two of them were in mad flight down the hill. Then think what wonderful accuracy, what perfect muscle control, was ne- ces-sary for the pursuer to swings his weapon and strike the fleeing figure in front of him in the darkness—a blow as accurate as that with which a butcher fells a steer.
