It is not unlikely that the new Viscount Exmouth will come to England with his wife and children to take up his residence at Canonteiga, Dunsford, tear Exeter, the family seat.
The Pellews have always bean a romantic family. About five generations back Edward Pellew, a Cornish sea dog, earned a bar, onetcy by, saving hundreds of men trom the wreck of a trans port off the Devonshire coast. One of the Pellewe commanded a battleship at Trafalgar.
By a curious turn of fate the late Lord Exmouth succeeded to the title about six months ago by the death in London of a distant cousin, who became the fifth vis count when a boy of only eight.
MOTHER'S CHALLENGE.
Fifty-two Miles Pushing Pram. A unique challenge has been issued to the mothers of England by Mrs. Ada May Edwards, of Moas Side, Manchester.

If the present negotiations with regard to Ficcadilly are cof cluded. Devonshire House will probably be pulled down during the spring. The fine marble staircase, the central scene of many great receptions, will be preserved, but it may possibly go to America.
DOVEDALE.
Preserved For The Nation. A successful effort has been made to preserve for the people, through the National Trust beau- tilul Dovedale, "England's choic- est diale."
This lovely spot is situated be tween Buxton and Ashbourne, and is every year visited by thousands of fourists, not only from Great Britain but also from many parts of the world.
The great charm of the dale is. the väristy of its setting, and through it runs the sparkling Dove, beloved of old Izaak Walton and his friend Charles Cotton. In the little Fishing House (still preserved) near Pike Pool, the two friends planned many chap ters of the famous "Compleat Angler."
The adjacent neighbourhood is "George Eliot's Country," where Adam Bede toiled among the stavings in his little wheel- wright's shop.
- Here also Tom Moore dwelt in a little cottage and bagan Lalla Rookb." He also wrote "Those Evening Bells" while living here, the sweet sounds of the bells of Ashbourne Church inspiring him. Rousseau aleo dwelt for a time nest Dovedale.
