ENeLAND's NEW PREMIER.

The change in the British government
brought about by the resignation of the
Premiership by Lord Salisbury. and the
appointment of his nephew, A. j. Bal
four as premier, though unheralded, was
not altogether unexpected, nor is 1t
likely to cause the slightest ripple in
governmental affairs, for Mr.. Balfour
has been for several years the under
study" of Lord Salisbury, and for a con-
siderable period of time has been for
long intervals the acting Premier.
1t is quite probable that the change
would have taken place at the coronation
of King Edward, If that ceremony had
not been postponed on account of the
kings Illness. Lord Salisbury is now an
old man, upon whom the cares of office
rest heavily; he is devoted to science
and no doubt looked eagarly forward to
the time, now happily reached, when
Great Britain, at peace with all the
world and with no present complications
threatening to disturb that peace could
relieve him of the cares of office with
out inviting political crisis. Lord Sails
bury retires with honor. He has been
notably successful Premier, with high
aims firm of purpose and yet conserv-
alive.
His successor A. ]. Balfour, the gov
eminent leader of the House of Com
mons possesses many of his character
istics. He also is conservative, and by no
means weak. He is a man of high cul-
ture, devoted to literature, as Salisbury
has been to science. From the fact that
he has been for years the close friend
and associate of Lord Salisbury, and at
times the acting Premier, it may be in
ferred that no political changes or
changes of foreign policy will follow his
elevation to the Premiership. He will
presumably remain the leader in the
House OF Commons, but there will be a
vacancy in the leadership of the House
OF Lords, to be filled probably by the
Duke. of Devonshire, lord president of
the council. He was formerly a Liberal,
and as Lord Harrington served in
Gladstone's cabinet of 1880, but refused
to enter the latter's home rule cabinet,
In 1886, and became the leader of the
Union Liberallsts. drifting gradually
into the support of Lord Salisbury and

The Duke of Devonshire is a poor
speaker and man who prefers leisure
to hard work, but as debates of impor-
lance are rare in the upper house he
would not often be called upon to
make more than an official statement
There is, of course, a possibility that
Balfour may be raised to a peerage at
the coronation of the king. in which
case the vacant leadership of the House
of Commons would probably fall to Jo-
seph Chamberlain.
Premier Balfour is a relatively young
man. being only 81 years of age, and in
the present condition of political parties
in England may be expected to hold the
reins of power several years to come

How Little II Costs.

How little 1t costs, If we give It
thought,
To make happy some heart each day.
Just one kind word or a tender smile
AS we go on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from neighbours face.
And the press of hand in sympathy
A sorrowful tear efface.
One walks in sunlight; another goes
All weary in the shade;
One treads a path that is fair and
smooth,
Another must pray for aid.
II costs so littlei l wonder why
We give It so little thought;

What magic with them is wrought
