BY HILDA RICHMOND, While the best fire protecnon o the farm will always be prevention such as perfect &inn:eye, care i threshing titan secure stoves, stove pipes that fit tightly into the chim note and are protected by metal col lars, safety in handling tnatehes, th use of only perfect oil stoves an letups, still there is much to be done in case fire aetuully occurs. Careless autoists in summer ar apt to throw lighted el -gars and match es by the roadside, railroad fires wil start and sweep over fields and for ests, and accidents will happen in spite of all precaution. So it is well to know simple rules for protection and try to keep cool. if fire does break out. One of the common causes of coun- try fires is wben fat boils over on the kitchen stove. When this happens, many excited. women throw water on the blaze and cause it to spread. Salt or ashes quickly thrown on the fire will smother the blaze, but most wo- men do net like a pail of ashes stand- ing about the kitchen. However, when fat is tried out, or when -doughnuts are made, it is well to provide the ashes or a jar of salt, so that in case any accident happens the remedy can be •at hand. A pail of ashes standing in a tidy kitchen for a few hours will not ruin the reputation of any good housekeeper. When the Roof Berns. n lost his entire outfit of bares and , sheds by boys smoking in the barn. a The boys were frightened when they - saw what they had done and tried to - put out the blaze, but it got such headwae Inuit everything was swept 0 away. Fir, caused by poachers in the woods, or by sparks from railro,ad engines, are best fought with the e plow. Burning a space in front of the fire is also good. At my old borne 1 a few rods from the railroad lead: . where the prevailing winds always blew toward the hous.e and barn, we never bave had a bad fire. There have f been times when things looked bad, n but by telephoning for the section v Sparks on the roof, when the shingles are dry, cause a large num- ber, of country fires, also. A window where some one can get out on the roof quickly, er a ladder that can be raised- in a minute or two, will often prevent a settees fire. Tearing off the shingles quickly or using a pail OT two of water, will quench the flames and save the house. Of course, carrying water up a ladder is not swift work, but where it can be done by several persons a bad fire can be extinguished. :Where there is a tank and water pressure, or a gasoline engine, a coil of hese always at hand is one ef the best fire protectors any term can have. Sprinkling the reel thoroughly at threshing time, or when thetehira- ney burns out, lessens the clanger ma- terially. A steady stream of water, even if small, turned on a blaze win do wonders toward putting out, the blaze. Teach children the ,d,anger a fire. Instead of trying to extinguish -the blaze, unless they are alone, the chil- dren should. be -taught to raise an out- cry- at once. No fear of punishment should deter them from reporting the trouble. On our farm, two boys sneaked into the barn to have a pri- vate smoke, an,c1 a smaller lad was afraid to tell on them. Be- great good luck the hired man caught them smoking and saved what might^have been a bed fire. A man in our county THE SUNDAY SCHOOL NOVEMBER 13. Paul Before the Roman Governor. Acts 24: 10-17.

Of course, in dry wea- ther we always were an the lookout to put out incipient blazes in the grass, and this no doubt eaved the day many times. So each and every country family should see to it that the members know how to fight fire as well as how to prevent it. Materials are so high and labor is so eipensive that all buildings should be saved from the destructive blaze. With no fire pro- tection such Rs the city must keep up, country people must depend upon themselves, so it is worse than folly to go to pieces in an emergency and lose the 'chance of seving the build- ings, which is always possibleif the fire is discovered before it gains inueh headway. Every farrn ought to have a handy chemical fire extinguisher; better still, one for the house and one for the bast. A bad fire can be stopped, before it reallygets a start by the use of one of these extinguishers. Even all these precautions do not make insurance unnecessary. All Lan m property should be insured in a dependable farm mutual or private insurance company. For fire -fighting suggestions, write your Provincial Fire Marshal. Do You Believe in Signs.

S. Marden. What a tremendous s•atisfactio there is in the eonsciousness of neing an expert in your line, in being looked up to as an authority in your calling! This is more than compensation for the price you have paid for it, for ail the pains you suffered and the sacri- fices you made in becoming an expert. Golf and chess players know how fatal, in these games, is a wandering mind or indifference. A troubled mind, a worried mind, cannot play a good game of golf any more than a wan- dering mind can play a good game of ehess. When I see a chess player gazing all about the room, looking et everybody around him; when he is listless indifferent, as the play goes on, I know he is not an expert, and that he has no ehance whatever with the man on the opposite side of the board who sees nothing else and is interested in nothing else, at the time, but the game -in front of him. 11 you desire to be an expert in the game of life you must concentrate on your aim as the expert golf or chess; pleyer concentrates on his play. Napoleon's tremendous power lay in his ability to sacrifice everything which conflicted with his one unwa.e• Bring aim. Nothing must stand in ais way. Society, friends, amusements, everything must give way to his mighty ambition. Now, this concen- tration of effort wins in business and professions also, but the treable with most of us is that we cannot bear to sacrifice any ef the things -which we like or wish to do. We eennot sae- rifice our little pleasures, our little comforts; we cannot -sacrifice any- thing whatever to our main purpose. we want to take everything along "Dones" for Blasters. There is little danger in stump blasting, providing th-e operators do not become careless and. neglect the essential pree.autio-ns.
