They have not beem lost to the country. But they make help in this country very scarce. There is a cure for the present stringency in farm service. Men must be engaged for the year, and when they are: mar- vied they must have a garden plot, and he allowed a chance to make a decent living.

This: session an interesting episode ocourred. Mr, Gooderbam, at the m- wtadce of a special Tommittee which had the matter in hapd, presented a bill which purported to give the. city options on taxation. It went to a se cond reading, and then Mr. Hanna «called a halt. He rebuked Mr. Good- _ erham, who had 'generally exercised : 'good, sound sense," and, alas, in this 'matter forfeited his reputation.

The Kingston Collegiate institute's annual exhibition which was so suc- cessful a week ago was originated by George. A. Palmer, the physical instructor, when he first went there about four and a half years ago. The institute is very fortun- ate in having such a capable and ex- perienced man in charge. a Mr. Palmer 'was born in Leam- ington, Warwickshire, £ngland, on January 20th, J874 After gradu- aling from the Army Physical Train- ing school at Aldershot, with a first- class certificate in physical training and all-round fencing, he became physical director of the Scots Fusi- i liers, and remained with them for eight years Later he became physi- cal instructor and manager of the Sandow (Physical Culture school in London, Birmingham and Liverpool. He was 'also physical director at Hamel-Hampstead grammar school, near London, at Bromsgrave gram- {mar school near Birmingham and at Vallasy grammar school near Liver- pool in Cheshire county After coming to Canada, eight years ago he was engaged as physi- cal director at Queen's university. He remained there for two years during which time he organized the physical department His system is still being used. He was the first to held an assault-at-arms at the university, thus being the originator of the event which has brought Queen's so many championships. His lameness is due to an injury received in I and while wrestling. Concussion of the spine resulted which affected his lower limbs. He recovered Jdrom this but while 'at he fell from the parallel this brought on the old trouhle In spite of this, however, is just good a gymndkt as before and all'the events at the ex- hibition, with the excaption of the tumbling, were taught by him. He hopes in time to recover 'completely from his injuries. .
