AMERICAN LOVE OF HOME
One of the Strongest of the Instincts
for Which the Nation Has
s Made Itself a Name.

No other nation, except possibly the
English gives such pre-eminence and
affectionate interest to the house and
home as do the American people.
With all our supposed worship of
money, and love Of change and ad-
venture, there are few among us who
do not feel at heart a deep-Seated
eve of home. Even amid the en-
crossing and vital Investigations and
legislation at Washington, veteran
senators and ambitious congressman
find time to discuss the derivation
and to talk about the attraction and
sanctity of Home" The word home"
is not found in the language of any
of the southern European countries;
in fact, it is not used in any modern
Latin tongue. 1t needs long winters
and severe climates that drive the
people indoors, within four walls, to
create that cheer within that neces-
STATED the word home" for northern
peoples. Whittier's "Snowbound" was
a classic, and first furnished
glimpse of the real charm and power
of the hearth. One congressman re-
marked that all the real thinking OF
the people worth while" is done
within the walls of their homes, for
every economic question and much
tariff and currency legislation has its
origin and sphere of action within the
home. and on that sphere public men
are striving today to focus their com
prehension.
Questions that concern the home
never fail to awaken response, and
the winter evenings are considered
the auspicious time to SOW rhe seeds
of public sentiment. On the other
hand, a Chautauqua speaker once In
sisted that people do their thinking
in spring ard summer, while the crops
are growing, following the lines of
nature, production beginning at seed
time and maturing at harvest; and
that seated on the hard benches IN
der the scorching canvas of the Chau-
tauoua tent the people are doing
their subconscious thinking that crys-
talizes into public opinion during the
winter months.
Here are two points OF view to
choose from. whether the winter or
summer is the open season for think.
ing. Possibly both are right, for win
ter SHOWS are as necessary as sum-

Rich L.apland Mine.

The richest, and probably the larg-
est, iron ore mine in the world is To-
Gated at Kirma, Lapland, in latitude
631A degrees north, which is about the
same as the northernmost boundary
of Alaska. The climate is somewhat
milder than in Alaska and these mines
are worked the year round. About l.
600 men are employed, and the equip
ment is all of the most modern ma
chinery obtainable. Machine tools for
the repair shop, air compressors and
rock drills, and several of the largest
steam and electric shovels are of
American make. The plant is at pres
ent operated by steam power, the coal
supply coming from England and
Spitzbergen, but the electrif1cation of
the mines is in progress, and this
power will be used exclusively as
soon as the new power plant of the
state of Sweden, now under construc-
ton at Porjus Falls, Is completed. The
transmission line is completed, and it
is expected that the power station will
be ready to deliver current early in
1914. One hundred and fifty thousand
horsepower will be the capacity of this
station, and it will be transmitted over
distance of $50 miles.-Dundee Ad-
vertiser.

VOICES OF THE PULPIT
MANNERISMS CONDEMNED sY
GREAT PREACHER.
Too Many Ministers, In the Opinion Of
Noted English Divine, Adopt the
"HolyTone" While Deliver
ering Their Sermons.

To the close observer. there is no
more interesting study than is to be
found in the wide variety of manner
ism, method and voice among our pub
lie speakers. Sturgeon, who was
gifted with a keen eye as well as a
ready wit, made a special study of
pulpit voices. He wrote:
BY far the large majority of our
preachers have a holy tone for Sum
days. They have one voice for the
parlcr and the bedroom, and quite an
other tone for the pulpit; so that, if
not double-tongued sinfulIy, they GER
tainly are so literally. The moment
some men enter the pulpit, they no
longer speak as men, but a whine, a
broken hum-haw, an ore rotundo,' or
some other graceless mode Of noise
making, is adopted, to prevent all sus-
picion Of being natural and speaking
out of the abundance Of the heart
There are two or three modes of
speech which I dare say you will
recognize as having frequently heard.
bombastic style, which I have just
now called the ore rotundo,' Is still
admired by some. There is another
style, a method of enunciation said to
be very lady-like, mincing, delicate,
servant-girlified, dawdling. We have,
most of US, had the felicity of hearing
these, or some others, Of the extensive
genus Of falsettos, high-stilts, and af-
fectations. | have heard many differ
ent varieties, from the fulness Of the
Johnsonian to the thinness of the lit
tie genteel whisper; from the roaring
of the bulls Of Bashan up to the chip
chip, chip Of a chaffinch. Understand
that where even these horrors Of
sound are natural, | do not condemn
them-let every creature speak in its
own tongue; but the fact is, that in
nine cases out Of ten, these sacred
brougues are unnatural and strained.
"a sharp discordant squeak, like a
rusty pair of scissors, is to be got rid
of at all hazards; so also is a thick,
inarticulate utterance in which no
word is complete, but nouns, adjec-
tives and verbs are made into kind
of hash. Equally Objectionable is that
ghostly speech in which a man talks
without using his lips, ventriloquizing
most horribly. One of the surest
ways to kill yourself is to speak from
the throat instead of the mouth
Avoid the use Of the nose as an organ
of speech, for the best authorities are
agreed that it is intended to smell
with. Speak as educated nature sug-
gests to you, and you will do well; but
let II be educated, and not raw, rude,
uncultivated nature. Demonthenes
took, as you know, unbounded pains
with his voice, and Cicero, who was
naturally weak, made long journey
into Greece to correct his manner Of
speaking"

Mrs. Violet Hartman, twenty-one
years old, known as "the bride Of the
air." whose marriage in balloon to
DR.. Milo e. Hartman was the opening
event of the national elimination bal
loon races III Kansas City, in 1912,

Mrs. Hartman formerly was Miss

The two married while in the balloon
basket before 10000 wedding guests.
They then sailed away. The balloon

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make it seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions of acres of land, easily
cultivatable. highly productive, acces'
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
. Of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city or in country
as in western Canada.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas.
katchewan and Alberta have the larg'
est area of desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. Of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 100000 bushels. It
is a simple calculation to estimate
that Il four per cent. of the available
cultivatable area produces something
over 200,000,000 bushels, what will "A
per cent produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 1t was 49,149
10000 being from the United States (;
in 1906 it was 1S9, 064, of which $1,000
were Americans, and In 1913 1t was
about 100000, of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is a man Of shrewd business in
stincts, just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home

himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn
muscle and sinew, following 1t so as
to keep in touch with the Industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back This capital and the
capital of farming experience Is nc
small matter in the building up of a
country.
Nothing is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to it's borders a larger
number Of settlers in so short time,
or has attracted SO much wealth in a
period Of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.-Ad-

Just for an instant the Big Sister
closes her eyes and her lips set in
firmer line She leans nearer the
child. The case goes over. The man
must be found now. And in the mean
time the girl steps down and faces
Big Sister for the first time. She
won't answer at first, but she is drawn
down on a bench and talked to until
slowly she begins &c thaw When she
is led away Ter face has lost a little
of that awful misery.
Typical Case of Boy Misery.
The next cases are boys. On the
long bench little fellow sits on the
very edge, holding his ragged cap
tightly. His lips are pursed in voice
less appeal. Silently the tears run
down his cheeks. He catches the eyes
of the Big Sister watching him and
gulps sob.
The Big Brother is busy with the
case that is up for trial, so Mrs. Glib
son takes this one. 1t all comes out
in one blurted mass of trouble. He
has broken window and played hook
ey, and the truant officers after him.
That's his mother sitting over yon-
der, he Whispers the skinny woman
with the shawl dropping off her Shout
ders. She looks blue, cause she had
to walk all the way up the Bowery
from Baxter street. She spent the
last ten cents for a bucket Of coal
this morning. And there are six 9TH
er children.
You haven't got any undershirt on,
have you?" asks the Big Sister gently,
so the other boys wouldn't hear, but
he holds his torn shirt together and
shakes his head out of pride for the
mother who waits at the end Of the
first bench. She doesn't see the
green bill tucked away in his dirty, lit
tie nibist palm nor hear the hurried
compact of friendship.
Little Mothers" Case.
The next is a case of improper
guardianship. The father drinks. So
does the mother, and there are two
children The elder has been kept out
of school to look after the baby. She
is only ten herself, typical little
mother, not at all pretty, but with
curious, resigned look and tender
little smile.
And all in a moment the world
changes from gray to gold. She lis

looking judge. She is to be sent to
school under the care of a Big Sis

sister, she is to have one, somebody
she can come to with all her trou-
bles.
Each day new Big Sister stands in
the enclosure before Judge Hoyt.
Thursdays the quietly CARRIED sweet
faced woman who waits for her girls to
be called for trial is Mrs. w. K. Van

So far over 500 girls have been

But the work Is only begun here
in court says Mrs. Evans. I'VE pick
up the clues here, so to speak, and
trace them along. And we've never

to be lost. All they need is love and
understanding and fair chance, and
that is what the Big Sisters aim to

ANEW York; you wanted big

her-not when you're all grown

Just an ordinary New York girl. East

wouldn't be good?
What did the smooth-faced young

And just then you catch some one

And of the 10000 children arraigned

THE first Big Sister was Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt" said the general secre-
tary of the Big Sisters, Inc, at their
offices, No. 200 Fifth avenue, New
York city. She is Mrs. Madeline
Evans, who resigned as probation
officer Of the children's court to take
up her present work.
Mrs Vanderbilt started the work
in December, 1910. 1t was rather a
delicate business at first. We were
not probation officers, not officially
connected with the children's courts
or charity agencies. We were just
what the name implied-Big Sisters,
who wanted to help. And they let
us gladly.
THE main thing, we find now, is to
make girl realize that there is some
one who cares for her personal hap
piness and improvement. They re-
spond to the right treatment quite as
readily as the boys. We have 106 ac-
tive Big Sisters now, and need more
l am in court every day, and there
is always one of our court committee
there to help
Society Leaders on List.
The court committee carries strange
names for such a place, names that
you find usually in the society col
umns-Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, Mrs.
Stevens s. Sands, Mrs. j. Searle Bar
clay, Jr., Miss Lima Horn, Mrs.
Frederick o. Beach and Mrs. Charles
Dana Gibson.
All are Big Sisters to the wistful,
half defiant little waits of circum-
stance who come before that bar of
justice.
They are a mixed lot, these chill
dren, all sizes and ages. Some have
eager, optimistic faces, some are sui
len and weary already with life's prob
lens and some are just plain scared.
