He Because it is composed of both Indian and Ceylon teas. The tea bush is indigenous to Assam in Northern India, and botanists are of thé opinion that it is the parent species of all the cultivated varieties in India, Ceylon, China and elsewhere. In a wild state, it grows to a height of fifteen to twenty feet, but the cultivated shrub is only three to four feet high. * Assam being the natural home of the tea bush, it is not surprising that this and other districts in Northern India produce the richest, most pungent teas grown in the worldâ€"tens that command higher pricés than even the fincst Ccylons; but Ceylon,teas are very flavory and fragrant, and seem to be specially made to blend with the richer, ; :ore syrupy tea of India. When combined, the Ceylons give point and piquancy to the liquor; the India=, richness and strength. * The distinctive characteristic of Red Rose Tea, that rich, fruity flavor, is obtained by blending these fine Indians and Ceylons; and another very important feature of Red Rose Tea, viz., its uniformity of favor all the year round, is secured the same way, something not possible to obtain where Ceylon or Indian teas are used alone. 4 The Blue Label is recommended, and unless you like mymu‘.montyltmnmkrl drawing as you use of other teas.

The woodwork by the way, is furnished by the Berâ€" lin Interior Hardwood Company and as all parts of the clock works are made in Mr, Pequegnat‘s factory, the clocks are strictly of home manufacâ€" turg..

A case of exceptional interest cenâ€" tering about an alleged raised cheque has ‘been placed in litigation and will be heard in the courts shortly. â€" The Bank of Hamilton is the plaintiff and a Berlin physician the defendant. The first shipment of clocks by the Arthur Pequegnat Clock Company o‘ Berlin has been entirely successful. The trade is delighted with the clocks and this new industry of Busy Berlin apparently has a bright future. A strong point of the clocks is the extra fine finish of works, pendulum, etc. Mr. Arthur Pequegnat is the genius behind this clock making inâ€" dustry and he has an able lieutenant in his partnet, Mr. Eugene Tuerk, who is a machinist of first rate abil ity, * Some time ago, the pbysician made out a cheque for nine dollars to a cerâ€" tain insurance agent, who was in Berlin for some time, but whose preâ€" sent whereabouts is unknown to a number of Beritn men, said to be his creditors, and the cheque when preé sented at the bank called for payment of $90. That amount was paid, but when the physician was called upor to make good he would not honor the cheque, stating that he had made it out for $9, not $90, and now the bank is taking action against the physician Contractor Dengis is being congratâ€" ulated upon the speedy manner in which he and his workmen have comâ€" pleted the rebuilding of the Grand Central Hotel stable, which was gutâ€" ted by fire lastâ€"week.

The pres entation was accompanied by expresâ€" sions of good wishes for a merry Christmas and nappy New Year. Monday night‘s meeting of the Berâ€" lin Town Councit was the first held in the new council chamber upâ€"stairs in the town hall and everything in the chamber was spick and span. The new electric light chandelier and othâ€" er electric fixtures, including a handâ€" some desk light for the mayor, were in position and made a very pleasing appearance. Two of the wall fixtures have been placed on cither side of the mayor‘s chair and two on the side walls in the spectators‘ portion _ of the chamber. _ Mayor Kranz and all the aldermen, were in their places. The hearing of members of the Light Commission and discussion which folâ€" lowed, occupied the greater part . of the evening, and it was found that the business of the session could not be concluded at this sitting, so at 11 p.m. _ council adjourned ‘‘When we requested the council of 1903 to pass a byâ€"law for $70,000 to complete the gas and electric instalâ€" lation in our town, it was ‘with the idea of utilizing the old purifier, the old washer and scrubber as well as the old exhauster. These were {ound to be so nearly worn out as to make it inadvisable to spend mouoy on them to place them in new positions. We consequently had to purchase new ones in their stead. You will also remember that when the town comâ€" pleted the purchase of the electric and gas plants the amount to be paid exâ€" z $105,000. â€" ‘The last lRn'l issued debentures tor $100,000 leaving a shortage of over $8,000° to R Light Commission.

The debts in question amount to about $20,000 or $21,000. The council at this meeting decided to take : no action on the request of the Bell Telâ€" ephone Company for an exclusive franâ€" chise. A special committee was apâ€" pointed to interview" the new firm which is negotiating with the town with a view to Incating here., The firm wants a loan of $50,000 for 20 years and exemption from taxation for the same term. At their present plant they are said to employ aver 80 hands. ’l}a council passed byâ€"laws fixing uniform building lines in porâ€" tions of several streets. ‘The. other business transacted was of a minor nature. » A* . *‘*We ~are enclosim tement â€" of dnc o i ‘fi-’t ‘has â€" been m-iu since Commission took it over. * ‘"All of which is. respectiwly: subâ€" mitted, # Ald. Weber had also been at "the meeting and he said Mr. Scott had made exceedingly fair offers to the {armers, and also that only one man at the meeting, a Waterloo man, had objected to what Mr. Scott had ofâ€" fered, all the rest seemed favorable to the scheme as proposed by Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott had said the company was prepared to have all the county lines centralized at Berlin and if the farmâ€" ers accepted the company‘s proposiâ€" !tion it would mean that lines now going into Breslau and other villages would be centralized at Berlin. No Exclusive Franchise. The application of the Bell Teleâ€" phore Company"for an exclusive franâ€" chise dating from Jan. ist of the preâ€" sent year in consideration of $350 a year, to be paid the town, was next taken up. Mr. Alex. Richards reported to the council concerning a meeting Superinâ€" tendent W. C. Scott, C. L; Ashley, of the Bell Telephone (o., and he, had had with about twentyâ€"five farmâ€" ers at the Walper House, and gave particulars as reported in Tuesday‘s Telegraph and further that the comâ€" pany had already secured a number of names of farmers who had agreed to take phones on conditions as outlined at that meeting. A thorough canvas of the county would be made about the first_of the year, Mr, Bichards said, to find out just what the farmâ€" ers wanted. > Ald. McKay said he was absolutely against granting an exclusive franâ€" chise on principle and outside that consideration. Every tub should stand on its own bottom. The Bell Telephone Company was interested in the farmers only so far as the comâ€" pany could make money out of the farmers. He told of the action taken by the Beli Telephone Co., after they got hold of the Farmers‘ Teleptone Co., of a few years ago.> There had been about fifty miles of line and all this had been taken down and the posts chopped down and sold by the Bell Telephone Company. Of the fifty farmers who then had telephone « conâ€" nection on that line how many now had ‘phones?â€"only one or two. . He would not favor granting an excluâ€" sive franchise even if the Bell Toleâ€" phone Co., would pay $1,000 a vear sive franchise even i phone Co., would pa for it. Ald. Rose took a s Ald. Rose took a similar view, but he thought there should be a plebisâ€" cite so that the people as a whole could decide the matter and he in(roâ€" duced a motion to that effect. _ Ald McBrine seconded this motion. Ald. Gross told of having spolen to Mr. Ashley of the Bell Telephone Co. and having asked him whether ihe company would agree to place | the wires on King street undergromnd beâ€" fore the paving of King street â€" was begun. Mr. Ashley had replied that all he could do would be to suhinit this to the company, but thought it would be done if he so recommended. Evidently no move in that direction had been made and for that one reaâ€" com he considered that no action should be taken. Ald. McKay, seconded by Ald. Gross, moved in amendment to Ald. Rose‘s motion that no action be taken. The amendment carried, . so the company gets no exclusive franâ€" chise this year at least. There will be no contest for the County Council this year, as the latâ€" ®st returns show that all the memâ€" bers have been elected by acclamaâ€" tion.
