A Meeting Held Last Evening to Organize the Teams--The Loeal Lacrosse Situation -- Kingston Runners for Belleville. At a meeting of the executive of the Sunday school A.AA., held on Tues day evening, in the Y.M.C.A. build. ing, it was decided to have baseball in connection with the association. Nearly every feam was represented. The teams represented were: Rt, George's, Bethel, St. John's, St. James', Queen, Sydenbam, St. Luke's. On_account of the three vacancies on the executive, others were appoint- ed to take the several positions. Rev. A. P. Mershon, was ted a first vice-president, to take the place of Frank R. Beckwith. George Holland was elected as secretary, in place of Robert Treneer; Frederick Pense was elected as treasurer, in place of John Stagg, and Harold Trotter was elect- ed as assistant treasurer. From the interest shown at the meeting, everythin looks favorable for the best baseball season in the his- tory of the association. Some of the teams that won in the league last season were not represented, but they will,\no doubt, join in at the next meeting. Two more schools at least will join the association, namely, St. John's and St. Luke's, Both these schools have been in the association before, but not in baseball. Some discussion took place regard- ing city league players and a notice of motiop was given that no senior city league player be allowed to fig- ure on any of the teams, and ~ this motion will be voted on at the next meeting. The Mercantile League at its last meeting made this same rule and it is looked upon as being the best thing for the teams at large. It will mean that the ball will be mot as fast, hut those who were unable to play before will be in the game if the proposed rule goes' through as it is most likely do. It is expected that if city leaguers are barred from playing, other schools will enter. The rule last season was that no city league players could form the battery, but it did not prove very successful. A committee was appointed to make muuiries as to the best place to play the games, Another meeting has been called for Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock, and all teams should he ready to enter at this meeting. Local Lacrosse Situation. The agitation for the revival of la- be said as yet to have a history. There are, however, in this connection many things of which the sporting element of Kingston has little knowledge. Ihere was, as everyone knows, a fair- ly good lacrosse team in the city about three years ago. But on ae sount of a lack of interest in the game, and a lack of co-operation from, other towns, it was allowed to die put. There are still the remnants of this team left, and fellows who have wer played this game never lose that enthusiasm, which only needs the sight of a lacrosse stick 'to renew. With the opening of the season in loronto and Montreal, and the sen- ational retma of lacrosse to those places, smaller towns all along ihe lino were affected, and clubs have sprung up all over the country. In Kingston a meeting was held before the snow was off the ground and ai- ter some discussion as to the best means of reviving lacrosse those at- tending the meeting dedided to get out and invite all they could to come and practice. Accordingly practices were held in Victoria Park and many new men turned out as well as most of the old line up. - The movement has oontinued . to grow and it is expected that before the summer is over a club will = be organized and a team will be ready. Not much can be dome this season, but if the ball is only started rolling lac osse will be a sure thing in King- ston. It should be. It is the best game played. It develops more of a man's powers, both mental and physi- cal, than any other game known to Canadian sport. To Race at Belleville. "Joe" Adams and H.

To-morrow is Empire day, and a reference is due to the founder of the day, Mrs. Clementine Fessenden, of Hagilton, In 1896, the = Westworth Historical Society passed a resolution of dol dolence, with Mrs. Fessenden, on the loss of her Busband, the late rector of Ancaster. In her few words of feply, Mrs. Fessenden, who was accompanied by her six-year-old granddaughter, said that she hoped that the patriotic spirit of the grandfather would de scend to the children. Little Kath- leen Trenholm Fessenden was then made an honorary member of the so- ciety. Afterwards Mrs. Fessenden was so deeply impressed with the. patriotic aspirations of the child that she said to herself, "Why should not all chil dren be stimulated in this way 7" And then she set about to seek the realization of her vision, She first got the newspapers interested, and then the minister of education, Hon. G. W. Ross. The Hamilton board of education took up the matter and ask- ed that one afternoon on the year be set apart for the purp®se of inculcat- ing patriotic sentiment. A resolution to this effect was sent on to Hon. Mr, Ross, and proceedings were carried out, with the result that ¥mpire day was founded in 1899 and incorporated into our school system. Life of the Country Editor. As a class, country editors are the most versatile people on earth. They have to cover a wide range of human activities, and so so. hat is why they, as a rule, are not great finan- cial successes, and, on the other hand get the most fun out of life. The job of the country editor is in a class by itself. There is no more similarity between the work of a country editor and that of a city newspaper worker than there is be- tween peeling potatoes and playing a tuba. The city man is a specialist. He writes paragraphs or attends po- lee court or operates a linotype--just one thing and nothing more. Out in the eountry town his com- posite brother is the whole works, jumping lightly from the ink keg to the subscription book, sorting rules or collecting bills, washing rollers or writing paragraphs. He cannot be master of all trades, but he can be master of one which will bring him the necessary ghost perambulator. His position gives him an opportunity of having a lot of fun out of life, if he looks at things with a healthy view point. And so he goes on, the aver age successful country editor, 'toil ing, rejoicing, sorrowing," jack at all Lirades and master of one.~From a pa- per read by Elmer Peterson, editor of the Cimarron Jacksonian, at a recent meeting of Kansas editors.

COULD NOT READ WRITING, Dead Author's Manuscript Had to be Abandoned. It was slated at the time of Col, Burnaby's death that he had left be hind him . the manuscript of a novel, for which there was considerable com- petition among the publishers. This is quite true. The manuscript, a bulky parcel, was handed to me with discretionary powers either to publish it mysell or use it in connec tion with the proposed biography. Here a singular and as it finally proved, a fatal obstacle presented it- sell. Familiar for many years with Burnaby's handwriting, 1 could not after diligent endeavor make out more than a sentence here and there on the crowded pages of manuscript. Burmaby's writing was possibly, with the exception of Dean Stanley's, the worst 1 ever saw. It looked as if be: fore sitting down to write a letter he had pulled a twig" out of the hedge, mixed a little blacking and them gone ahead. He wrote the whole of his 'Ride to Khiva" and his "Ride on Horseback Through Asia Minor" with his own hand. But before they reached the printer they were fairly written out nl Fist.

In England, France and Germany tea is mado in much the same plel- eian way, but in other countries the method of enjoying the cup which cheers is a more picthiresque cere ony. In China, for example, a large, ar- tistic cup is set in a brass or silver holder, and in this cup the tea is placed snd covered with boiling wa- ter. A little saucer which just fits it is placed . inwide the cup to keep in the steam and flgvor of the tes. When it is drewn it is poured from the big cup into dainty little ones no bigger than an eggshell. The method follow. ed in Japan is almost similar. Tea making in Russia' is a simple process, involving merely the use of a samover and a slice of lemon or of me. In Japan tea is served in broad, fiat cups and flavored with Batavia ar- rack, and in Formosa it is steeped with tea flowers and one or two or ange flowers, or their tes drinking the Uru- guayans employ silver tubes, each of which has at thé end a balldike strainer, known as a bomPs or bom bills.
