Olive's affairs were certainly numerous
and pressing enough to drive the woman
out of hie .head. There wasto bo a gen•
oral election, and 1t was to take place ab
0005, so that' it might be, over before tbo

to the free and independent electorate.
It was necessary that Olive should go
down to Ilriinfield, without delay; foral.
ready his agent there had written to toll
him that he would bo opposed by a strong
Oonservativo.candidate; and ho hinted
that hnother candidate, from the extreme
Radical. and Booialist Dido, might also
take the field.
The Ohesterleighewere full of entlnt-

Fire Protection on the feral.
In probably not one out of a
thousand farmhouses or barns is a
bucket of water kept in a handy
place ready for use in case of fire
emergency; yet `so effective is a
handy bucket of water when fire
starts that the insurance ander-
writers grant a lower rate of in-
surance to manufacturers and mer-
chants who will keep a specified
number of filled fire buckets in cer-
tain locations in their buildings.
Frequently a cupful of water at
hand when a blaze starts as a tiny
flame is more valuable in prevent-
ing fire loss than a whole fire do
partment tenminutes later. A sin-
gle bucket of water dashed soon
enough on blazing curtains or dra-
peries, or a small blaze starting in
rubbish or hay, will put out a fire
before it has opportunity to gain
headway, and thus may be the
means, not only of saving a build-
ing and its contents and preventing
the death of stock, but even save
loss of human life.
Moot people rely on a pump or
water tap as a source of water when
fire brealrs out. In the excitement
following an outbreak of fire it fre-
quently is difficult to locate buok-
ets, and the delay of two or three
minutes necessary to fill a bucket
at a pump or tap'be enough to give
the fire a chane to get into the
Walls, or spread to a point where
it very difficult to quench.
Every household should be equip -
Ped with a fire bucket, provided
with a cover, filled with water, and
used for no other purpoeo, The
best type of bucket is one with a
rounded bottom, which prevents its
sitting on the floor, and so makes
it useless for ordinary household
work, These bucket should be
painted red, and should be filled
at ;regular intervals to replace wa-
ter lost by evaporation. For :the
same reason buckets provided with
coSera are better than open book
eta and prevent dust and other ma-
terial gutting into the water and.
making it unpleasant. One such
buoket ab least ought to be provid-
ed on every floor of the (house or
barn. They should be located near
the stairs or entrance to the build-
ing, so that those .rushing in from
the 'outside or starting far the stairs
can get them without delay.
The rounded bottom buckets can
he kept either in a bench with a
holo eat in it to receive the bucket,
or else can be suspended out of
reach of children, from a metal or
wooden bracket.. •

DUCK-IBC'N'PLNG IN WATER.
Remarkable Font Performed By A.n
Indian Lad.
A novel and ingenious method of
capturing wild docks is described in
the Wide World Magazine, by Mi'.
W. E. .Pedley, who witnessed the
feat while on a hunting trip in In-
dia. In lus party was a lithe, ac-
tive -looking native lad, who pro-
tested to be able ix> swim under
water into the midst of a flock of
wild fowl, and catch the birds in
his naked )hands, He was given
an opportunity to show his skill in
a quiet lagoon near the camp.
A gentle sunset breeze was blow-
ing, says Mr. Pedley, when wo
silently forced our punt into the
rushes about 20 yards from where
a flock of ducks were busily engag-
ed in diving for wild oelery roots,
Immediately the youth began his.
simple preparations. He put an a
stout leather belt with a rawhide
thong that passed through holes,
and formed a 'succession of loans,
like a cartridge -belt. It was in-
geniously arranged so that any one
loop could be drawn tight, and the
slack passed to its neighbor.
Next, he drew from his bundle
what Iooked like a ,deoxy duck out
off at the water -line, or just below
it. Turning it over, ho showed us
that it was simply the skin of a
duck, with beautifully stuffed head
and neck, but quite hallow inside.
The main frame consisted of a,strip
of split bamboo, . bent into the
shape of a long, narrow 'horseshoe:
A little cross -bar was securely ties
on with einewe about an inoh and a
.Half from the heel end of the shoe.
Tho skin was sewn with sincraffs to
the main horseshoe-ehaped frame,
but under the tail it was entirely
cut away, so as to leave an open
Space.
Riding on the water, it looked
like a badly anode decoy, because
the head and nook, being stuffed,
were unduly heavy, and the bird
rode with its head tipped forward
andite tail absurdly oockod
up.
The, youth slipped into the water,
and, turning on his track, took the
little cross -bar between his tooth.
He then lay floe.ting quietly, the
body of the decoy covering his nose,
eyes, mouth and chin. The water
was clear, and. we could easily see
hien under the surface, At once
we sawwily the elfin of the decoy
was cut away under the tail. It
was to enable him to see out.
. The lad swain down the narrow
passage toward the flock, and wo

An Awkward Boy of 100 Years ,kgs
Who lbeeuune a Great eveuter.
More than 100 years ago a stow
freckle -faced, a1kwerd boy of la
years, dressed in a ragged waist.
coat and short breeches, without
stoelrings or shoes, rapped one
evening at the door of a humble
cottage in Northern England, and
asked to seo the village schoolmas-
ter, When that person appeared
the boy said, very modestly, "X
would like to attend your evening
school,. g11'."
':And what do - you wish to
study' 1" asked the teacher, rough-
ly. "I went to learn to rend and . -
write, sir," answered the lad,
The schoolmaster glanced at the
boy's Homely face and rougholothes
scornfully, and said; "Very well,
you may attend, but an awkward,
baize -legged laddie like you would
better be doing something else than
learning ills lettere." Then ho -
elesed the door in the lad's face.
This boy was the sun of the fire-
man of a pumping engine in a
Northumberland coal mine and
was born 132 years ago—on June
9, 1781, to be exact. His birthplace
was a ]Io4e1, with a clay floor, mud
Ovalis and baro rafters. When he
was five years old he began to work
kr his living by herding cows in the
day -time and barring up the gates
at nigh -b. As he grew older he was
set to picking staves from the coal,
and after that to driving- a horse
whigh drew coal from the pit. He.
went half -fed and half -clothed.
When he called at the school-
house he was plugman of a pumping
engine, and, though he knew no-
thing of reading or writing, he had -
studied the engine until he had a
complete knowledge of the machine.
He was able to take it apart and
make any ordinary repairs.
Not discouraged by the advice
given him by the schoolmaster, ho
made application and attended the
evening school, At the end of about
two years he had learned all this
School could teach him. He con-
ceived the plan of constructing a
steam engine, It took him a long
time, but et the ago of 40 he bad
made several engines, and was
known as a successful and energetic '
engineer, and was called upon to
build long and difficult lines of
railroad. -
But his locomotives were too
slow: he wanted them to run fasten,"
Heptoposed to build one that
would, run at the rate of 12 miles an
hour! Everybody laughed at him.
Some thought he was crazy. One
gentleman, who considered himself
very wise, said to him; "Suppose
you invent an engine capable of
running nine or ten miles an hour, -
and suppose, while it is running, a
cow should stray -upon the track.
Will not that be a very awkward
circumstance 1"
"I should think it would be very,
awkward --for the cow," ho- are
mitered.
Well, he succeeded in making his
locomotive, and at the trial which
took place near Liverpool it attaal -'°
edI to the unprecedented speed o
14 miles an hour 1 By malting sex -
Iain improvements' this - same en- -
gine, the Rocket, was made to go at
a speed of 30 miles an hour. Peo-
ple laughed no longer, but admired.
He .was invited as .a consulting
engineer to foreign countries and
wealth flowed upon him. Philoso-
phers sought his friendship and his
King obeyed him knighthood, but,.
he preferred to remain' 'plain
George 'Stephenson. That is the
name of this awkward Addie, who
became the inventor of the locomo-
tive.
