Exe ter goes to Sarnia, next Saturday, London Wins from Exeter Exeter lost their game in London Saturday to the Solloway-Mills nine by the. score of 12-7. Both teams played ragged ball, the London team kicking in nine errors while the visitors were close on their heels with seven misplays, The game was. .a heavy-hitting affair, with two home runs going to the winners. Four triples were made, three by th© Londoners, while Dundas grabb ed a double for the losers. The Brokers batted out 14 safe blows, while the visitors registered only six hits, Mahon started on the mound for the winners, and was going, strong having allowed Exeter three hits in the first five innings,, In the sixth inning London blew up and Exeter tallied five runs. This was the only stage of the game at which the Cyc- ines were able to assume the lead, Coming back in their half of the sixth to overtake the one-run lead gained by the visitors, London touch7 Lawson for four hits, two of these being three-baggers, which came to gether, The losers never threaten ed to score during the remainder of the game.

Victorian days green teas were very popular, but lo-day In England there is very little sale foi\ them. Blended varieties of teas have the biggest sales/’ says a writer in an English trade journal, “FQr districts where the water la- vert/ hard special South Indian teas are^Bola. These are softer to the j)alate and thlckei’ than other types and the flavor is brought out most successfully by the hard water. °A popular tea with people who invariably want a second cup is a blend of Assam, Ceylon, and South Indian varieties. This has a small leaf and little tannin and, when a second supply of water is poured on, the tea still retains its strength and good color, “An unusual tea which is sold to South Africans resident in England is South African bush tea. It is made from twigs of ohrnbs which, in ap pearance, resemble English gorse or furze, and is similar to the South American mate. It has a herby flav or and is very refreshing, In Africa and South America it is very popular in the extremely hot weather and is the staple drink served cold in glasses to travellers. “A choice China tea is given the Chinese name for 'black dragon/’ and in reality comes from the Japanese island of Formosa,“There is imported for breakfast use a special type of China tea that is not too highly scented, the richer teas being preferred for afternoon tea. A popular choice type is one that comes from the Keemun district. “Tea dust is used largely by Insti tutions where an urn is employed, because the d'ast Infuses more quick ly than the leaves. It is * cheap variety, but quite good value, because it is made up of the small particles left in the kilns in which the good quality teas have been dried fired.” NEW RESOURCES FOUND. or nail- PASSES EXAMINATIONS A clipping from the Elora News says,— “We are glad to congratulate Mas ter Billie Wardley on passing with distinction his music examinations this week.

Each year in Canada surveys are pushed farther into the hinterland find each advance discloses valuable resources of which citizens had.not previously been aware. The Peace River district has been popularly thought of as the last “inland em pire’’ in that direction, but an engi neer of the topographical survey of the Department of the Interior dur ing the summer of 19 27 penetrated west and north of the outermost edge of Peace River and found a land of fertile grassy hills, of high rolling open plateaus upon which roam flocks of Rocky Mountain goat and bighorn sheep and herds of caribou, and where the grizzy bear takes his ease with dignity. The country is drained by clear, cold, fish-teeming rivers and streams which have their rise in the glaciers of the main range of the Rockies toi-the west. A train journey of eighteen hours north and west from Edmonton brings one to the town of Peace River, Alberta, on the banks of the river of the same name. About 250 miles up stream from Peace River is Hudson Hope, B.O., a Hudson Bay Company post at the head of navig ation for river steamers. The great new country lies beyond, and one of its most interesting natural features, some 70 miles northwest of Hudson Hope, is the falls on the Graham, river, where the stream makes a sheer drop of 220 feet over a perpen dicular rock. Another source of wondei’ is the’ Nelson river, the most southerly tri butary of the Liard river, with its canyon 1,000 feet deep extending 40 miles easterly from the mountains. The river itself was crossed on a raft last summer by the exploratory party, a procedure that was fraught with danger and excitement. The exploration extended in gen eral over an area 80 miles west and 175 miles north of Hudson Hope. of intention to pass a By-Law to> close up and sell part of the Auk Sable River Road in the Town-- ship of Stephen.

ABBEY MAY BE ENLARGED. ‘ Why Westminster Is Enshrined In the Heart of English People. The proposal to extend Westmins ter Abbey, or, to give the sacred building its legal title,- the Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster, to make room for further memorials, raises the interesting question: Why Bhould this church, not a cathedral, loom larger than York Minster, Can terbury Cathedral, and St. Paul’s in the eyes of the English-speaking world? And why should it be the in variable scene of our coronations and royal weddings, and the most fitting burial-place for our illustrious dead? asks an Old Country paper. The exceptional importance of the abbey takes origin from the fact that the shrine holds the remains of the last of the old English kings, Edward the Confessor, We have almost for gotten to-day the extraordinary ven eration with which this monarch was regarded by all. A magnificent church was built around his shrine. To be crowned at his graveside gives addi tional sanctity to the rite, and to be buried near his ashes is the highest honor man can wish. Electric Cure for Colds. Colds can bo treated by applying electrio heat to the inflamed interior of the hose. Electric current is sent between inetal plates at each side Of the nose, so that the inner membranes of the nose and not the skin receive most of tbe heat produced, Several remarkable successes have been reported after a few minutes of this treatment.
