HOW CITY MAN MADE A HOME John Steisor carved a home out of the woods for himself, his wife and children, with an a saw, a hammer and a drawknife, according to a Winnipeg dispatch to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Steisor is not a carpenter.

He is just a handy man with tools. When he went into the woods along the new 96-mile aqueduct that brings water to Winnipeg from Shoal lake, only tools he took along were the implements mentioned. The new country, that civilization forgot in its western progress, lies between the transcontinental line of the Canadian National railways and Lake of the Woods, of which Shoal lake is an arm. Settlement has passed it by. The building of the aqueduct discovered its fine farming possibilities.

When Steisor had selected his farm he and his family set. up housekeeping in a tent. Then he went to work to build a home. Trees were all he needed and the woods were full of them. He soon had enough logs and in getting them out he had cleared a nice front yard.

He trimmed the bark off the logs, squared them, smoothed their sides and retched them at the ends for joining. He fashioned clapboards for the roof, joists, beams, sills and frames for doors and windows. In a few weeks he had a neat little four square home with a pyramidal roof, with walls 50 smooth and closely set together they looked at a little distance as if made of planed boards. He had to go back to town for the window glass. Outside of the glass the house is all the work of his two hands, his ax, saw, hammer and drawknife.

Soon after he moved in winter set in. Steisor and his family, snug and comfortable in their new home, defied the elements. The house was as tight as a drum. Steisor is a city bred man. His home shows what a handy man can do when isolated in the country and thrown on his own resources.

MORIARITY Mother love is one of the greatest forces in the world and the person who tries to say anything but good of it will have many an excellent mother on the other. side. Nevertheless an instance may show that sometimes even mother love, though sincere, is not always a force for the greatest good. There is a pretty and talented young artist whose individuality and pleasant personality is being submerged and stifled by a mother whose love is working in the wrong direction. The girl is of a sweet, sunny disposition, very sensible and capable, but her mother forcibly relieves her of all responsibility and care until the poor child seems on the road to becoming a nonentity.

She is fast losing interest in everything save her work, her friends are losing interest in her, and her mother has lost interest in everything else save her daughter. The result of this is pathetic. The mother who loves her daughter, not wisely but too well, monopolizes her young daughter's Even that might be forgiveable, but she goes farther. She always monopolizes conversation no matter what occasion the and turns the talk into channels where she can hold long discourse upon the talents and achievements of her offspring. Friends become sympathetic, strangers become disgusted and annoyed, the poor little girl herself is always uneasy, but tries not to show it, and the mother? The mother goes on talking and talking, unceasingly.

She is overconfident and supercilious about her daughter's accomplishments, and she is over-sensitive about the little unpleasant things which must be met even by a clever young artist. What an injustice that mother is doing her daughter. How much better off the girl would be if left to rely more on her own resources and devices. How much happier she would be if allowed to speak, think and act for herself. While one blames mother love for this, may it not be pure selfishness? Do you not know many mothers who call such selfishness by another name? After all is said, however, it is perhaps better for mothers to lavish even selfish affection upon their children than to deny them the love they should have.

World's Diamonds Worth 13 Billions; Make Wagon Load If all the diamonds mined in history and existing today as cut and polished gems were gathered from the ends of the earth, they would form a pile about as large as a wagon load of coal dumped on the sidewalk, says a Chicago statistical expert. The pile would contain 46,355,474 carats, the gems would weigh tons. If the pile were in the form of a cone, it would have base diameter of eight feet and a height of five feet. Reckoning the diamonds at $300 a carat, it would have a value of $13,906,642,200.

It would contain 710 1-3 gallons worth $5,539,023, a gallon; or 76 1-3 bushels valued at $51,570,729 a bushel. All the world's diamonds could be packed in an ordinary clothes closet or a kitchen pantry. This estimate is based on an approximation of the total output of rough diamonds in the world's entire history. India, it is estimated, has produced, all told, 50,000,000 carats; Brazil, South Africa, Borneo, 000: British Guiana, Australia, China. Siberia, 500; United States, 500.

This is a total rough output of 374 carats, or 55 3-5 tons avoirdupois. Only about 50 per cent of rough diamonds are cut into gems, and lose about 60 per cent of their weight in being cut and polished. Diamonds are practically indestructable, and first diamond ever mined may possibly still be in existence. But the estimate allows for the loss of at least 1,000,000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck and other disasters. These reductions and losses leave a total of cut and polished diamonds at 46,355,474 carats.

The estimate of $300 a carat is the minimum price at which diamonds can be bought today. The popular demand for diamonds was never so great, and they have become the gem of working people as well as the wealthy classes. They are worth three times as much now as before the war and sell at from $300 to $1,000 a carat. A Musical Corpse "That was a lively, song Miss Howles sang, wasn't it?"
