The Hamilton Times, Independent, commenting on the election said.-- "The result of yesterday's elections is to seat Sir James P. Whitney firmly in power for the life of the present Legis- lature; but it is a chastened and humble Sir James; not the blustering, arrogant, domineering one who set out with the proud boast that he was going to wipe ,out the Liberal party in the province. Some men are incapable of learning;, some gain wisdom only at exorbitant cost. Sir James has, hardly yet begun his education." ILondon Advertiser, (Lib,): -"It is a 'fair guess that the Conservatives are !more disappointed than the Liberals at the result of the elections. The Gov- ernment, after some diseembling, sprang the contest on the country six months ahead of time, hoping to anni- hilate the Liberal party. When it was down and out, to all appearances, on 1 the night of Sept. 2lst, they intended to stamp it down in the ditch of defeat, andBut bury the blow it. fe A flat- long." The Hamilton Spectator, Conserva- tive, said: -"The worst thing that !could have happened to Sir James Whitney and his Government yesterday was for the people of Ontario to have given him and it a vote of confidence, as pronounced or greater, than that given a little less than four years ago. From the returns it is evident that the Liberals will be stronger in their oppo- sition by at least four. The Spectator congratulates Mr Rowell upon the suc- cess he achieved, and we look to llim to give material assistance during the *next four years to the cause of better government for this province. Not that Ontario has not had good govern- ment, The indorsation given yester- day to the Whitney administration by the people shows that public opinion is pretty well satisfied with the way Ontario bas been governed during the past seven years. But there is always 'something better in the way of govern- ment, and, as the Spectator has said before, no one man or party can hope to have a monopoly of everything good lin the way of ideas." 1The Toronto Star said: -"Both sides seem pretty well satisfied with the re- sult. Sir James Whitney -he is one - ,'sided, and is as gratified as a man should be who has just had his personal note renewed for four years without interest. The Liberals are satisfied with the re- , salt, in view of the conditions at the outset. The election was hurried on because the Liberal party was suppos- ed to be in the hospital, thus unable to ,set one foot in front of the other. The party was supposed to be prone on its } back and unable to run an election. It $was supposed to be unable even to walk. Advantage was taken of the supposedly eripled condition in which the recent federal defeat had left it. !But this fine scheme for a night assault on the hospital did not prosper. The patient arose and gave so good an ac- count of himself that he held his own and a good deal mare. The Liberals have gained eight votes on a division." Judging from her passion for hats, how can a woman expect to be happy in heaven and make one hat last her through eternity. • Never scrub oilcloths with a brush, and never use soap in eleaning them.

WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR. HIM TO SLEEP. Mr. Chas. W. Wood, 81 Torrance Street, Montreal, Que., writes: -"For two years I suffered with nerve trouble, and it was impossible for me to sleep. It did mot matter what time I went to bed, in the morning I was even worse than the night before. I consulted a doctor, and he g•.ve me a tonic to take a half hour before going to bed. "It was alt eight for a. time, but the old trouble .turned with greater force than before. "One of the boys, who works with ate, gave me half a box of Milburn's Heart and Nerve 1'iils. X took them and I got such satisfaction that I got another box, and before X finished it I could enjoy clop from 10 p.in. until 6 n.iti,, and note feel good."

The most auccessful Convention) in the history of the Dominion W. C T.U. was held in Sherbrooke the Beautiful, from November 23rd to 26th, inclusive. On the preceding Sunday many of the pulpits in the city had been occupied by the leading W. C. T. U. speakers, among whom was Mrs. Gordon Wright, Dominion President. All the officers and eighty delegates were in attend- ance, five of the provinces being repree sented by their presidents. A brilliant function, greaely appreciated by the delegation, was the reception tendered them by the Sherbrooke ladies. The ministerial association and the local union extended a warm welcome, while the Mayor in cordial words presented the freedom of the city. Mrs. Gordon Wright, representing the flower of Canadian White Ribbonhood, presided in a manner demanding an added res- pect to our organization, Mrs. Bnllock, St. John's, N.B., treasurer, brought in a very gratifying report, there being on hand a balance of $1,500. Mrs. E. E. Stevens, corresponding secretary, was the bearer of equally cheering news to the effect that the greatest ad- vance in membership that had yet been recorded, had been made since meeting in St. John's two years ago. There now 14,283 white ribboners in the Do - inion anincrease Do- minion, ncr ase of nearly 2,000 in two years, in fact every province re- ported an increase. The superintend- ents of department work gave splendid accounts of their stewardship. The Franchise hour, in charge of Mrs. Det- lor, North Bay, brought the convention to white heat, and the discussion form- ed into resolution, moved by Mrs. San- derson the veteran world's treasurer, and seconded by Mrs. Sparks, Kingston, That each provincial union begin an ac- tive campaign for woman's enfran- chisement, demanding the ballot be- cause women are citizens. The officers of the Dominion W. C. T. U. are: - President, Mrs. Gordon Wright, Lon- don; Vice -President, Mrs. McKenney, Claresholm, Alberta; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Hattie Stevens, Toron- to; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Mc- Lachlan of Montreal. Mrs. Bullock, St. John, A THOUGHT FOR CHRISTMAS. Why are there men with souls so dead that they are devoid of sympathy and love for the horse? The history of the equine race is an unbroken record of vital service to humanity. The horse brought the men of medical science and skill who ushered the sons and daughters of women into the world, speeded the physician to the side of the patient of illness or disaster, and ever goes before the dead to their final rest- ing -place. To provide mankind he pulls the plow, hauls in the harvests, and transports the garnered grain to the consumer. Of the entire animal kingdom the horse would be king, if the crown were awarded because of utility to man, The strenuousness of his efforts to obey and serve his taskmaster is sur- passed only by the pathos of his pa- tience, • "Worked to death" is his too common fate, and fortunate is he if starvation as well as toil does not appear as a cause of his dissolution. Justice, if not common gratitude, must yet assure a better fate and better treatment for this honest, humble friend and faithful servitor. It is not enough to count one's self among the friends oftthe horse -among those who individually are just and kind. To further mitigate the lot of the ill-treated, helpless, and defence- less horse, let each of us at this Christ- mas -tide renew his efforts to speed the gospel of the humane suit to all the people of every land. Health of Province. Dr. J. W. S. McCullough, chief health officer of the Province, stated that there had been a marked decrease of the three contagious diseases, infantile paralysis, scarlet fever, and typhoid fever, for the month of November, There *ere only three cases of infan- tile paralysis, none of which were fatal compared with 21 eases and 5 deaths in November, 1910. Last month the seer - let fever returns Were 167 cases and 8 deaths, as eompared with 840 cases and 15 deaths in November, 1910. For typhoid there were 103 cases and is. deaths, as against 266 cases and 50 deaths for November a year ago. There worn 72 eases of tuberculosis and 40 deaths, while for the corresponding month last year there were 105 cases and 83 deaths. Dr. McCullough points out that the tuberculosis returns are not sufficiently accurate for purposes of comparison, as notification of this disease is not compulsory. The con- tagiotie diseases last month totalled 722, and the deaths 85, as compared With 1,077 cases and 161 detithe in November, 1910.

Morton is in Hamilton this week attending the winter meeting of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, Rev. W. H. Watson, Mr. John Ritchie and Mr. Robt. Currie, of East Wawa - nosh, are attending the meeting of . the District Association in Listowel, in the interest of the Congregational church, Rev. John W. Kelly passed peacefully away to his reward yesterday morning. His death was caused by that fell di- sease, consumption. He died at the residence of his brother -in -lett, Mr. Geo. Wade. There will be five school trustees to elect this year, in place of four. Ow- ing to the removal of Mr. George Petty - piece, Ward No. 1 will require two. Municipal matters are very quiet this year in town.. It is expected that most of the members of the present council will stand for re-election, but nothing definite is known, except that Mr. George McKenzie and Mr. John Hanna will be candidates for the Reeve - ship. This fall, when, Mr. Jas. Cochrane was packing apples throughout East Wawanosh, he placed in a number of barrels a card upon which he wrote, "Whoever buys this barrel of apples kindly write to my address if fine and in good condition." In reply to one of these cards, Mr. Cochrane received last Saturday, a letter from Bucket], King & Co , produce dealers and commission agents, Nottingham, England. They stated that the apples were in splendid condition and one of the finest barrels they had opened this season., The weather this week has been very changeable. Sunday was an extra fine day for this time of theyear, while Monday it rained the best part of the day, turning to sleet thrqugh the night.< Tuesday morning' was very cold and the rain came down at times in torrents. The sleet on .Monday night did great damage to shade trees and played havoc with the telephone and telegraph wires. as they were broken in many places, owing to the weight of ice on them. Mr. J. R.

One of the Paris papers suggests a very simple scheme for getting rich quickly -so simple that the wonder is as Westminster Gazette remarks, we have not all adopted it long ago. You take a million cats, which will provide you with 12 million kittens in the course of the year. By selling the twelve million skins in each year a daily in- come of 41,800 may be secured. By way of provision for the cats, you lay in a stock of a million rats, which breed four times as freely as cats do; and thus each cat can have four rat -meals a day. The rats of course, dine off the deceased cats after the precious skins have begin removed. The cats eat the rats; the rats eat the cats; and -there you are, don't you know! Can anybody oblige us with a million cats that he doesn't want? • WHRs tit*O0 Is POISON. The blood must be filtered, otherwise you are poisoned. If the kidneys fail the liver is overworked and becomes torpid. By using Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills you get both of these filtering organs working right, and also -ensures healthy action of the bowels. For this reason these pills are an ideal family medicine. They , cure biliousness, constipation, chronic indigestion and kidney disease. USES OF SALT. Salt on the fingers when cleaning fowls, meat or fish will prevent slip- ping. Thrown on a coal fire when broiling steak, it will prevent blazing from the dripping fat. Salt as a gargle will cure soreness of the throat. Salt in water is the best thing to clean willow ware and matting, In the oven under baking tins it will prevent their scorching on the bottom. Salt puts out a fire in the chimney. Salt and vinegar will remove stains from discolored teacups. • Salt and soda are excellent for bee stings and spider bites, Tnrown on soot which has fallen on the carpet, salt will prevent stain. Salt put on ink when freshly spilled on a carpet will help in removing the spot. Salt thrown on a out fire which is low will revive it. Used in sweeping carpets it keeps out moths. . • Salt in whitewash makes it stick. Never salt meat that is to be grilled, t gr e , as it hardens the fibres of the meat and tends to extract the kneels, Salt on the platter just before sending to the table. No meat should ba salted un- cooked, but after the surface has been seated and the meat partly cooked. Having lived alt his life, 75 years in a village of a couple of hundred people, never a night away from '. home and Never on a railway train. Mr George Surridge Peacock, .a shoemaker, of Delaware, died Wednesday as a result of ati attaek of paralysis. A Bad Three Months' Work. A great deal of mischief may be wrought in a short time by a Govern- ment, and especially is this so with men whe are brought together not by com- mon principles, but by the sacrifice of principles, as is the case with the pres- ent coalition Government at Ottawa. The Toronto Star thus summarizes: In less than three months the Borden Government has (,i)s.throvrn aside the principles of responsible', government and Ministerial unity; (2) taken steps to abolish the navy; (3) strengthened the lumber combine against the West- ern farmer; (4) surrendered to the spoilsmen; (5) excluded Ontario from a Hudson Bay port. There were votes east for Mr. Borden's candidates that were not cast for these things. The Outcry. 1 have read your latest story, Henry James; it contains no action gory, Hen- ry James; there is nothing there to shock; no man hits another's block; all your people stand and talk, Henry James. Oh, they talk too long, I ween Henry James; and I can't guess what they mean, Henry James; each one an- xiously conceal all emotion that he feels, each one's head is full of wheels, Henry James. Oh, your ladies and your gents, Henry James, look to me like thirty cents, Henry James; nothing sane have they in mind, nothing but their social grind, and they stand and talk us blind, Henry James, I like narratives of folks, Henry James, who are toiling in their yokes, Henry James; men who saw and dig and pound, men who plough the fertile ground, men who make the wheels go round, Henry James. All your little fiddling lords, Henry James, with their endless stream of words, Henry James, are not worth one sweating jay, who is toiling day by day, Sawing wood or baling hay, Henry James. -Walt Mason.

Text ei the Leeson, Matt, 11, 1.12, Memory Verses, 11, 12eet3elden T.icti Luke 1i, ii-Comn).ntsry Proper.tl by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We choose the Chrlstmas lesson for today and will take up the study 1i1 Malachi next week instead of the quarterly review. Matadi* tells of the great King whose mune is to be great Among all nations from t7ne, rising of the sun unto the going down- of tbo same, even of Him who is Icing of kings and Lord of lords (Mal. 2, 11-14; Rev. xvli, 14; xis, 16), The New Tes- tament opens with His record as Son► or David, Bon of Abraham, and closes with His title as the root and oltrt spring of David (Matt. 1, 1; Rev. Inn, . mon, ths ment*oned in10)Matt 1,g 1-1all1, DavidekingIs the only one wbe is called king, because. the covenant was made with him and be- cause of his relation to the Messlats ill. Saul. vii; I Chron. xvii; Isa. IT, 8; ix, 7; Luke I, 82, 33; Acta sill, 32.34), We come to this lesson and to the les- sons of next year with implicit cond deuce in the record and all its state- menta --tae supernatural birth, accord Ing to 1, 18-20; the fulfillment of Isaiah vil, 14, according to verses 22, 23, and all else, believing also that not only as Jeans does ligdeliver u from -, wrath too -dons; 1 boss,• !0 1 T � �v that He is able to save His people from .their stns (I, 2,). He was fore. brdalned before the foundation of tits world; and when the fullness of the tune was come God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law (I Pet. 1, 20; Gal: iv, 4, 5). The appearance or Gabriel to Mary ,with the wonderful announcement, the worldwide decree which brought Jo- seph and Mary to Bethlehem from Nazareth at the appointed time, the message of the angel to the shepherds, with the accompanying incidents and the actual birth nt Bethlehem are all fully told by Luke in his gospel. Our lesson today touches only the visit of the wise men from the east while the Babe and His Mother were still at Bethlehem. The title "wise men" takes us back to Ex. vii, 11; Dan. in 18; v, 8, The word "Bethlehem" takes us back to the :birth of llenja- min and the death of his mother, the story of Naomi and Ruth, the shep- herd days of David. The question, "Where Is. He that its ?born King of the Jews?" takes us back to the prediction of Mic. er, 2, as quoted in lesson verses 5, 0, and, spe- cially to the saying. "Out' or thee shall come a governor that shall rule my people Israel:" All the children are taught that He was born at Beth- lehem, but who ever bears anything about His ruling Israel or sitting on the throne of David? Yet that Is what He came to do. but He has neve er yet done it. As truly as Ile was born at Bethlehem He wilt yet reign over Israel, according to Jet 5, 6; Ezek. xxzvii, 21; Gabriel's mes- sage In Luke 1, 32. 33; Flis .own word to His disciples in Luke xxii, 30, and the prophets everywhere. The Scrip- ture must be fulfilled, and no other meaning can be honestly given to these plain words.
