London Times, vrnat the kaiser"s ethics are pecu (liar may be gathered from his ad- dregs to the German soldiers des- patched to China in 1900. As reported by the Bremen Wesey Zeitung, he said: "When you meet the one you will defeat him. No quarter will. be gi- ven, no prisoners will be taken, Let all who fall into your hand: be at your mercy. Just as thei Huns a thousand years ago under the leadership of Etzel (Attila) gained a reputation in virtue of which they still live in historical tradition, somay the name of Germany become known in such a manner in China that no Chinaman will ever again dare to look askance at a German."

Agricultural Representative Main on the course, writes: The first winter course in agricul: ture conducied by 'this branch, was held in Sydenham high school last year: The dates and other partie- this course are outlined in Over 700 of the enclosed calendar. tecirculaps were distributed through- ont the county to the most influential men, schools, and ' wherever we thought they would be the means of securing a student for the eourse. In addition to this we advertised the course quite extensively in the King- ton papers, but regret to state that we were able to secure only eleven applications, the average attendance at the course being eight. In view of the fact that this was | the first course in the county, our | results were very gratifying indeed. | Those students who took the course' ring their intention, if eircum- of again taking signi stances will permit, advantage of the advanced course in agriculture, Which is being held in Kingston this year. They -also put into practice some of the principles «ve tried 'to impress upon them at the course and took active partinthe various competitions which we con- ducied last year, especially the feed- ing hogs for profit competition, and ihe acre profit competition. Prob- ably the most interesting feature of {he course was the live stock judg- itz, and in order to stimulate the voung men's interest in this import- ant branch of farming I offered -per- conal liberal prizes to the three best live stock judges in the class. It is needless to mention that the voung men put forth an extra effort, not only to win the prize but to glean : much information as possible along ihis particular branch of farm- ing, in order that they might become relatively speaking, goed 'live stock judges. Of course the other sub- jects appealed to them very strong- ly, ag chown. by the fact that" when once we got the student at the course wo were able to hold him and they attended very regularly, not wishing to miss any of the lectures. As the instruction was given in the high school, many students, from (ime to time, would drop in from their clasg to take special lectures and 1 also save lectures to several of the clas- «es on botany and other subjects as requested by the principal. We hope, this year, to be able to increase the attendance at our win- ter course, and are looking forward to having twenty-five or thirty stu- dents at Kingston, as there is no doubt but what this is one of the most important phases of the work which comes under the supervision of the representatice. THE HALLS OF QUEEN'S. A Close Basketball Game--Meeting's Announeed. The fastest and mast exciting bas- kethall game of the season took place in. Queen's gymnasium on Thursday afternoon, when the teams of vears '15 and "18 met in a seni- nr fixture. The score 25-24 in fav- or of the seniors, gives a good idea of the play, which was very close, both teams putting lots of life and energy into their work for the full forty minutes. During the first few minutes of the game '15 pulled ahead by scor- ing three baskets and kept their lead till near half time when '18 came strong and evened up,-14 all After half time the game was of the see-saw variety, botlr sides se- curing the lead at intervals, The freshmen played a remark- able game and only poor passing at times lost them the: game.
