TO be Contiuued.O
EinlaHG'S Sad Plight.

The average grain crop gathered in
Finland is valued at $4,000. coo.
The estimated valEe OF the 1902 crop
! is $50. GO0.OQ While the loss is gen
eran, distributed throughout Finland,
says the Boston Globe. it is almost
total in the northern third Of the
country. Peas ard beans general have
failed ard the potato crop has not
| been gathered: the hay has rottcd Or
I been swept away by foods. The dis-
aster is due to the late spring, the
nearly continuous chilly rains ana the
early frost. In the north there have
been only half a dozen days when it
did not rain. The rains also spoiled
tie fishing. So complete was the fail
ure of vegetation that dead birds by
the hundreds have been found Ill the
forests. The present crop failure is
the worst that has been experienced
for the last 80 years.
There are all told about 800 par
ishes in Finland: l94 of these parishes
are now nearly destitute. The agrl-
cultural board has received reports
from 40 Of the 1911 parishes showing
that lO6 have food supplies which will
suffice them until Christmas only.
The uNripe rye and barley which the
people are forced 10 use, make bit
ter bread which the hungry horses
refuse to eat. In some parts Of tie
country bread is baked from barley
huSkS and :straw mixed with a little
flour. This product is purchased by
the needy people with their boarded
savings. Such bread contains very
little nutrition, and is extremely un-
wholesome.
The peasants have expended al:
their money for -four, and are conse-
ouently unable to buy clothing. The
danger OF famine was realized early
by the public. Count Bobriollotf, gov
ernor general OF Finland, issued an
appeal for help in Russia. a rGlua-
tary relief committee was organized
by F'inlanderS, with branches through
out the country. The Anglo-American
church here is affiliated with this
committee.
The senate has decided TO construct
public works at an expenditure OF
s2-.5. 900, and it has allotted S50o,0 900
for the purchase Of grain. which will
be sNld to the people at cost. Seventy
FIVE thousand dollars will be used TO
encourage cottage Industries. The
provinces and certain cities Of Finland
have voted various sums for relief
work. amounting in all to S5Q0.O00
The voluntary relief committee has
received $4,000. but it is understood
that all this sum has been already
expended. Pastor kilburn Of st.
Petersburg has just returned from a
sledge Journey through kuputo pro-
vince. He found 1900 school children
who We're in need Of fCQa. OF this
number !, l55 were totally destitute.
II is estimated that 100000 will be
without food after Christmas. BuSl-
ness in Finland is suffering: up to
November l.. 20, I56 persons had lett
the country this year via Hange,
while unknown numbers Of FnlanderS
have crossed tie gulf Of Bothnia to
Sweden and have taken passage from
there. The effects OF the crop failure
on emigration. however. will DC felt
more strongly in 1903.

completely destroyed: only cEe cotton

first shock drove the inhabitants gen

No Influence AboTc.

In DR.. John Halls time it was the
custom in his church to Use the old
fashioned. simple hymns, and the sing

On one occasion William N. Evarts
discovered Z. Dclafeld Smith. then
corporation counsel of New York city,
singing with all his heart and whis-
pered to his friend:

The remark was repeated to Mr..

influence in that direction"

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their Eject
Upon Public Meetings.

Upon Public Meetings.
American audiences are strangely
alike in some things and strangely dis
similar in others. y good committee
will take as much pains in the ar
rangcment of its audience rs o: its
speakers. An audience seated without
crcwding is seldom enthusiastic. Nei-
ther is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed OF women
or an audience in a cold room. The
easiest audiences to address. the most
responsive and inspiring. are those
COMPOSED of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression Of
their emotions than lien. Every public
speaker is complimentcd by their pres
ence. knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentimes more effective IN
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In 4 public meeting, how
ever, the audience gets its cue from
those nearest the speaker. remember
we'll two audiences, both from the
same social class, both crowded. both
in large theaters and both largely at
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado, one in Massachusetts. In
one meeting the orchestra was re-
served for women. In the other meet
ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes. In both cases the audiences
were entirely friendly to the speakers.
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm. the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the men in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because between them and
the speakers was a mass Of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. do
not say that one meeting was less ef-
fectiye than the other. but the differ
ence in tie strain on the speaker was
marked.-From The Spellbinder," by
