The "Exeter Flying Post" it prosper- ous looking newspaper of Exeter. Dev- onshire, England, makes further inter- esting comment upon :1'itg Ant -cr- eam" and some of its recent news items, etc., the whole of which is well worth reading. :Many of our items apparently seem odd to the 131itish mind, just as their items seems odd to us. Perhaps the most peculiar thing we notice is to be found in (be adver- tisements. We see. theft one coin - menet.); thus: "Joshua D.aw•, Gentle- men Tailor and Breeches Maker," an- other starts •'H. D. Western's Best Quality Slab Cake," etc., while the "ails." show odd make up as to lines of type. the whole paper containing only a few different forms of type. ",The Flying Post" of September 23. says in part: 'Another copy of the "Exeter Advocate," published at Exe- ter, Ontario, has reached me, and I am pleased to gather front its appear- ance and from the news it contains that the Canadian town to which old "Sem er Fidelis" has stood god -moth- er is doing well. Officially, Exeter, Ont., is described as a village, an of- ficial advertisement commencing thus: "A By -Law for borrowing such sutra of sums of money." The By -Law gives some idea of the' size of the place for $18,000 is roughly tnidway between £3,000 and £4,000. The capital expen- penditure on the Electricity Works at Exeter, England, prior to the installa- tion of the tramway generating plant was over £82,000, (or stay $420,000,) 01 which mains were responsible for £14,- 700, leaving about £'7.300, as the cost of the station, equipment, &e. The total rateable property of the Canadi- an Exeter is valued at £108,8'..)., and it is interesting to see from the adver- tisement that it is governed by a Reeve and Corporation, or Council. The Clerk is Jos. Senior, and among other names associated with the Eng- lish Exeter and mentioned in the an- nouncement relative to the electricy works are Silas Handford,Joseph Coh- bledrek. Williant Weekes, Alexander Dyer, Joseph Davis and James North Howard. Among other thins which I gather from the "Advocate is that there is a "Labour Day" in the province, hut it seems to be made an excuse for out- ings rather than to take the form of serious demonstrations and stern speechmaking. Thustinder "Crediton" I read: "Labor Day passed otT very quietly in our burgh. A number of the sports took in the baseball game at Lucan." Again: "Several Exe- terites attended a pleasant 'glide and step' at Parkhill Labor Day evening," while a Grand Bend report states that "Our viilage presented a lively appear- ance on Labor Day, a large picnic from Crediton spending the day here." Some of the local diversions sound strange to British ears. Thus a cor- respondent at %Voodbam announces that "A number of our young people took in the honey and bun social at Zion Monday evening." Apparently life is considered too abort in Ontario to say took part. Other paragraphs include one taken from a defunct local journal of 1882 recording how Mr. Robert Sanders (a native of Devon) on reaching Snowflake, during a visit in Manitoba was met by a number of mounted friends, who had dressed themselves as Indians one of them having ridden across the prairie on a white ox, being unable to secure a horse. Varna Rev. Davidson has had an addition built to his barn. -Thus. Stephenson bad one of his fingers badly injured in a corn cutter one day last week. - Albert Robertson is recovering nicely front the effects of his recent accident. -The Misses Eleanor Davidson and Elva Higgins, who have keen on the sick list, are convalescing, as is also Mr. Pilgrim. --Th(' home of Mr. and Mrs. i.'anta ileattie has been saddened during the past few days, the angel of death stooping down and bearing to a better home the spirit of their five- year-old daughter, Florence.

McEwen, and was aged 77 years. Since the death of her husband, some fifteen years ago, Mrs. McEwen has Mede her home with her son, William, on the 8th concession. On the above day the son went out to work on the fat•tn, and the little girl went to school as usual, leaving the old Indy in care of the household du. ties. During the course of the day, she, needing a pail of water, went to the cistern in the corner of the cellar to get it. and, as far as can be learned, one of the cover boards broke and pre- cipitated ci)itnted her into the water from which she was unable to extricate her • self without assistance. When the little girl arrived home front school af- ter four ei clock she could not find her grandmother and ran to the field to tell her uncle. After a search of the premises Mr. McEwen, noticing the broken ioard, dragged the cistern. where he found his mother. The fun- erel took piece on Saturday to Car- ;s1e cemetery, Rev.

Why does the dainty housewife delight in snowy napery, glittering cut -glass, burnished silver, delicate china and all other table allurements dear to feminine hearts ? And what man does not appreciate table beauty? It is not that we appreciate the appearance of our food alinoSt as much as the taste of it? Bread may be ever so wholesome, well - flavored and made of scientifically milled flour, but with all these qualities we want it to look dainty, appetising, snowy -white, with nut- brown crust, and be firm and silky in texture. Royal Household Flour makes jugt that kind of bread. The elecctrical purification and itterilization of Royal Household Flour makes it yield not only absolutely pure bread, but bread of snow, whiteness and beautiful texture - bread that will grace the prettiett table or give beauty to the humbled meal served on the plaint dishes. You can prove this by trying a 25 Ib. bag -you must have flour, why not have the beit. Ogilvie's Royal Household Flour. EXETER MARKETS.
