The Christian Guardian, the official Methodist organ has this to say of the new Premier t'As we expected, the Hon. Mackenzie Bowen has been sent for by Lord Aber- deen to Imre a new Cabinet,as the Cabinet has been dissolved by the death of the late Premier. Though Mr. Bowen's task is not completed at the date of this writ lug, there is no doubt that he will be Primo Minister, and that with some adjustments to fill the place of the Minister of Justice, the same men will continue in office, Mr. Bowell may be said, to have received his religious trainin in Bridge Street elethodisgee.weaa7 gel -do, Belleyille, and ever etince (until his removal to 0 a) be has been one of tb eral supporters of our church in Belleville. We have heard it said that he has always been most outspoken, in whatever society he has been, in his admiration of the Methodist oliurch and its -work. As the first Methodist Premier of Canada, we heartily congratulate Mr. Bowell on his promotion. We do not be- lieve in giving men politioal office on aecoufit of the church to which they belong ; but the largest Protestant church in Canada should not be passed over because its adherents may be less clamor: ens for political office than some other denominations. Mr. Bowell's address before our late General Conference in London, pleased many old friends, and made a favorable impression on those who had not previously known him." , v Penin0UtS1Upt The electing ,band writing is going out end the straight up and down kind is eoralog In, If you went to see the advantages of the vertical penmanship, write a sentence the old fashioned way, with the popular writing book slant to the left. Then sit square in front of a desk or table; put the paper straight before you exactly perpendicular to the edge of the table. Sit ereet and look at the paper juet as you would at a printed book you were reading. Then put both arms lightly upon the table square and straight. Take your pen and. Write the same sentence. Make the letters this time up and down, lean- ing not a hair's breadth to the right or left. Then notice how much easier it is to read the straight up and down sentence than the slanting one written in the old fashioned way. In. the vertical sentence the letters are full, round and distinct. In the slanting system they blur somewhat and tire the eye a little. It will occur to you then perhaps to reflect that if the Creator had intended us to do slanting writing he would have set our eyes slanting in our heads, Vertical penmanship' was evolved in Germany. It was found there that 80 per cent of the cases of defective vision and curved spine came on between the ages of 5 and 14. .A, committee of ex- perts investigated the cause and decided it was the system of penmanship in use in the schools. With the slanting system of writing one eye and one side are necessarily nearer to the table than the other. This causes in time one shoulder to be higher than the other and one eye to be farther sighted than the other. Sitting exactly in front of the table with both eyes the same distance from the paper, will at least help to prevent a human being from becoming lop -sided. Tho vertical system has been very gen- erally adopted in England, and has been introduced in someparts of the United States. Already copybooks for its teaching have been put on the market. Our own Bard of Education cannot be too quick about ordering its adoption here. NOTES AIM COMMENTS . An exchange, with a good deal of truth and revelance, eays:-When a' •Catiaidirle. farmer eimperta •a"cec; w" Or a horse, a sheep or a pig a chicken or a dog, he is very particular about the ped- igree, believing thoroughly in heredity. But when he wants a boy to work on his farm he gets an imported Bernardo waif whose pedigree wouldn't stand in- spection for four seconds. In the mean- time Canadian boys are idle, and are getting a first-class chance to become as vicious as the imported article, and therefore worthy of attention. The New Premier' The majority of people will probably feel that in Mr. Sowell the Governor- General has selected for Premier the strongest man remaining in politics on the Conservative side. Mr Rowell, as everyone knows, is a Minister of long experience and a man of the highest personal character. There has hardly ever been, even. in. the bitterness and recklessness of party campaigns, a breath of aspersion of his personal scrupulousness and absolute integrity, and that is a notable fact in a time in which each aspersions are numerous and often justifiable. Mr Bowen stands clear of all that sort of thing; he is held by all, friends and oppenents alike, to be a first class administrator, and his life long knowledge in public affairs will enable him to triumph over many a problem which might upset equally able but less experienced statesmen-Lenterly, Mr Bowell's initiation and promotion of the remarkably successful Intercolonial Conference made him a figure in the public eye in the Test of the empire, and even here paved the way somewhat for his present succession to the late Premier Undoubtedly Mr Bowell will receive most hearty and united support f rem the Conservative party. What have the Opposition Done? What have the Opposition to the Dominion Government done that they should secure public approval? 1. They opposed the purchase of the Isforthaweet Territories for $1,500,000- 2. They opposed the construction of the Canadian Pacific Bailread 8. They opposed the construction of the Grand Trunk Railway, by opposing the public aid given to that enterprise. 4. They left our market open while in power, to the American farmers, while their markets were closed to us. 5. They advoeated in opposition a Com- mercial Linton with the United States. G. They were ready and anxious to dis- criminate agaiust Great Britain. 7. They increased our 'hug while in power three millions a year. 8: They taxed the tea and coffee which every man uses. 9. They increased our debt $40,000,000 and left nothing te show for it but a bis - tory of defuilte, 10. They increased the superannuation expenditure four times as feet as have the Conservatives. 11, While pleaching purity they have practised the most open-faced corruption. 12. They have changed their trade Policy almost eyery year to try and get fete power and have thus lihow n themselves to be dernagoguee.

Horses can be got in the west for a few dollars a head, and in some places they are be- ing killed for their hides, the carcasses being turned into fertilizers. This re- fers to working horses, however. There will always be good prices for carriage horses and the finer strains for riding and driving purposes. But the common animal has met the trolley car and the bicycle on the battle field and been defeated. ‘ET The Personnel of the New Ministry Finally Decided Upon. , TUPPER MINISTER OF JUSTICE Perth County Notes; On Thursday last, Wm Bamford, of the firm of Bamford Bros., contractors and builders, Listowel, was working a circular saw when the board became cramped be- tween the saw and guard, and, being driven forward with great force, it struck Mr. Bamford near the stomach, causing in- ternal injuries bora which death resulted ten hours later.

Departure of the Funeral Ship With the Late Premier's Bemains. LONDON", Dec. 24. -The final honors in England to the remains of the late Sir - John S. D. Thompson, Premier of Canada, were paid in the removal of his body to the first-class twin screw cruiser Blenheim, at Portsmouth, to be transported by that vessel to Halifax. After the coffin had been placed. upon the catafalque the Bishop of Portsmouth and the clergymen attending him said a few prayers, lasting about five minutes, and then withdrew. When. the prayers were over, the people who thronged the dock were admitted to the cabin. A number of sailors, under the direction of an officer, secured the casket to the deck with heavy white cords, making it impossible for it to be thrown. out of niece during the voyage. The Bleinheim sailed from Portsmouth at 8.45 o'clock yesterday morning. All the vessels in Portsmouth harbor had their flags at half-mast when the Blenheim steamed away with her Union jack flying.

The skull of the deceased was unusually thick and was fractured in two places on the 'right temple and the back of the head. It is understood that the physicians are un- anirmious in the opinion that the wounds could not have been caused by the falling tree. At the request of Detective Murray the head was preserved in alcohol. The detectives were around the scene of the tragedy and have discovered. several more bloody stains, one upon the tree some distance from where the body lay and one as of bloody finger marks upon a sapling near the stump of the tree. At the inquest jun Henclershott swore that there were two axes in the woods while Welter said there was but one.

Sr. THOMAS, Dec. 24. -The case for the crown in the Henclershott tragedy was still further strengthened Saturday by the dis- covery of the missing axe with which the murder is supposed to have been com- mitted. The axe was found beneath a log and. covered. with bark. The handle was splintered. and the blade and. handle spotted with blood. An attempt had ap- parently been made to wash the blood from the axe as a small pool near by is dis- colored with blood. The axe has been identified as the one which was used by Welter and Hendershott . in the woods. Upon the root of a tree was found a clot of blood with some hairs of the same color as that of deceased mixed with iii. . This evidence is all that is required to do away with the accident theory and to confirm the assamption that one of the incist col& blooded murders in the criminal annals of this country has been committed.
