Baseball.
The "Neversweats" challenged the
regular team on Friday last to a gaitte
of ball and that evening the game took
place. tt'itlt the result that at the end
of the ninth the regulars were ahead
15-10, not, however, without all the
good hard play they needed. The
main feature of the game all through
was the enthusiasm shown by the op.
posing players. Everybody played for
all that was in there, and this is the
main thing needed with the Exeter
players. They haven't heard the last
of the "Neversweats," however, and
they intend trimming the regulars be-
fore they have finished with them.
Hawkshaw and Hoskins were pitcher
and catcher for the regulars while
their opponents bad Statham and
Heaman in the box and Cole behind
the home plate. J. J. White refereed.

Balloons Light in Canada.
Nine balloons started from Chicago
late on Saturday afternoon on a race
from that city to the ocean, and of
the nine, five came into Canada. The
winner was the Fielding -San Antoino.
which landed at West Shepard, Que-
bec, at 5 o'clock Sunday evening. 625
miles from the starting point. One
balloon. the Illinois, dropped into the
Bay cif Qninte, a few miles from Pic -
ton, and the occupants were rescued
by two I'icton Wren.
The Columbia dropped on the Bay-
field road, about a mile from ('Tinton,
at 8:15 a. nt. Sunday. In landing the
basket struck a wire fence, and the
occupants, Capt. Peters and Mr. Leich-
liter, were severely cut about the
hands, but not otherwise injured.
One of the balloons passed over Sea -
forth Sunday fornoon. They were
floating along beautifully with the
breeze that was blowing at the time.
in a north-easterly direction. They
seemed to he only a short distance
above the tree tops. and the word
"('hicago" could be plainly seen print-
ed on the balloon. There were two
persons in the car, and as they passed
over they asked the name of the place.

tinetly. After tieing sighted here they

Barn Struck Horse Kilted.
During the severe electrical and rain
storm on Tuesday last the barn of Mr.
Sidney Davis, two and a half miles
south of here was struck by lightning
and badly shattered while one of his
valuable roan mares, which was stand-
ing in the barn, was also struck and
instantly killed. Mr. H, Elworthy of
Usborne, Mr. Wm. Johns of Kelida,
Man., and Mr. Davis and his three sons
were in the barn at the time taking
shelter from the rain when the holt
came through the roof and the entire
six were rendered unconscious from
the shock. Beside the mare that was
killed stood her colt and in near by
stalls several other horses but all es-
caped unhurt. On being restored to
consciousness Mr. Davis repaired to
the upper part of the barn which he
found filled with smoke and a strong
smell of what seemed like burning
sulphur, but on examination it was
found nothing haul taken fire, only an-
other of the strange freaks so charac-
teristic of lightning. it is a wonder,
however, that some of those present
were not killed. all being within a few
feet of the horse that was killed. The
damage to barn and loss of horse is
covered by insurance in the Hay Mut-
ual Fire insurance Co. The horse is
valued at $200.
Oe Water Yriakiag,
The question of water drinking, ac-
cording to Ilarper's Bazaar, is one that
is open to discussion, and one that
may best he solved by individual ex -
pertinent. The theory of some is that
it helps to clear away the waste of
the system, and hence favors reduc-
tion. The most extreme opponents of
this theory recommend a glass of hot
water upon rising, and an hour after
each meal and two or three just be-
fore retiring. t'ndoul,tedly, it does
help to clear out the system, but some
will find that it adds to the weight in-
stead of decreasing it. This may be
entirely due to the weight of the water
tself, and to the fact that It does not
pass out of the system, but accurnu-
ates—net necessarily to the fact that
t makes fat. There are theories both
for and against drinking with the
meals, but the arguments for it are
negative. so that it seems the wisest
rule to dispense at least with water.
it can then be taken an hour after-
ward,. Those who propound the
theory that water drinking should tie
restricted even to the limit of three
small glasses daily say that thirst re-
duces the appetite, and that the body
will feed upon itself if water is not
given it when it is wanted. This is
conceded to be a dangerous method to
follow to extremes, because the kid-
nt•ys and other organs must have a' HEAMAH'S
certain amount of water to work as
they should.
