W OGDEN swearing

:, A Sabbath school lesson was about
swearing, and when the children had
repeated their verses, the minister rose
to talk to them. 81 hope, dear chill
dren," he said, "that you will never
let your lips speak profane words. But
now want to tell you about kind
of,swearing which l heard good
woman speak about not long ago. She
called 1t wooden swearing. It's q
kind Of swearing that many people be-
side children are given to, when they
are angry. Instead Of given vent to
their feelings In oaths, they slam the
dpor's, kick the chairs, stamp on the
tlpor, throw the furniture about, and
make all the noise they possibly can.
Isn't this Just the samc as swearing ~
said she. Its just the same kind of feel
ing exactly, only they do not like to say
those awful words; but they fo,ce the
fugniturc to make tho noise, and so 1
oall IT. wooden swearing. Ihope dear
childron, that you will not do any O.
this Kind Of swearing either" It Is
better to lot alone wooden and all other

Improved Rerolrino Derrick.-This i'm
pOrtant improvement in the economy
of hoisting and removing earth, rock,
or other material, has now bcen in use
some two or three years on tho work of
the inventors, who are contractors on
the "Quebec Harbor improvements.
1t consists, essentially. Of a circular
platform mounted upon wheols which
run upon u circular track. This circu-
lar platform carries two or more booms,
arranged symmetrically, and com bined
with suitable hosting apparatus for
rising material upon ono side and
moving it to any point in the sweep Of
the boom. The circular platform Of
the derrick now In use is forty feet In
diameter, with mast thlrty-eight feet
high, and booms Of one hundred and
ten teet each, thereby making the total
swing Of the derrick two hundred and
twenty feet. The revolving machinery
consists of \ pair of 6 x 10 cylinders,
connecting by bevel gearing with a
vertical shaft, at the lower end of which
is pinion working with circular
rack Of IL feet in diameter. This pin

track, and 1t Is not effected by any
slight vertical motion Of the platform.

be hoisted to any desired point, .and re-
moved horizontally from two to four

creasing the circular platform and
elongating the mast the sweep of the
booms can be readily extended to the
latter distance. The. derrick can be
worked and moved from point to point
either by means Of crib-work or piles
and ordinary railroad track, or by
suitable float. The present derrick has
