THE BUILDING
OF A COUNTRY
The Natural Pride of Those Who
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads
through and across the prairies OF
Western Canada, connecting that great
empire of grain and cattle, horse and
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
of looking upon their work, and its
results with pardonable pride. II they
"Reminiscences, and tell of the hardships
and the privations, why shouldn't

the buffalo roamed and fed, are now
alive with cities. towns and villages.
Farms-laTge and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm, and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous of occupations-are
being cultivated by men of the highest
stamp of manhood. Many Of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs in
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults
and diseases which would be his were

character OF prairie life.
When the builder of the western Ca
madam prairie looks upon the result Of
his work, why shouldn't his chest ex-
pand? 1t was probably some Of this
feeling Of pride that took possession
of Sir Donald Mann, vice president Of
the Canadian Northern Railway the
other day in Winnipeg. when he said:
81 am not In the habit of giving adj
vice, but have no hesitation Of advis-
ing the young men Of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece
of western Canada's land that now

came TO Winnipeg" he said. "At that
time there were less than 100000
people west of Lake Huron in Canada.

erson-about sixty miles. Today there
are nearly 10000 miles Of railway In

over two and quarter million, won

ried you will agree, when you have
contemplated it a moment"
"At that time all the flour, meat and
many other supplies for our contracts
were brought from the States. Now
consider what the west is doing to-
day. You have grain production ex-
ceeding billion bushels and yet only
q comparatively small area Of the till

lenath of a Day.

A day is generally supposed to be
a period of twenty-four hours, but this
Is not necessarily so. The period of
the suns position above the horizon
also constitutes day. The actual
measure OF time covered by day as
we know 1t is twenty-three hours. fifty
six minutes and five seconds. In some
parts of Norway the day lasts two
whole months without interruption.
Three and half months constitutes
the period of the longest day in Spitz-
bergen, while the shortest only reg
listers two and half hours! That is.
judging the actual period of light.
which would be nineteen hours, and
the shortest five. At Hamburg the
longest is seventeen, and the short
est seven. London's longest day is.
roughly, sixteen and half, with the
shortest about eight hours.

Little Denmark possesses the great
est butter export and. in sense. owes
this distinction to the powerful com
petition of American grains in the
los, which forced the Danes to turn
from bread production and to concen-
trate their efforts upon the produc-
ton OF butter for the bread. Denmark
exports more than 1S0,000,000 pounds
of butter yearly. and its fancy buffers
are the finest made. 1t also acts as
