A SIMPLE DERRICK.

ton of the derrick. For the boom Use
strong wood, ten to fifteen feet long.
Insert heavy iron pin in the top and
the foot of the post, and put on iron
bands. Hinge one end of the boom
with iron straps and bolt it to the
post about five feet from the bottom,
and on the other end put band with
eyes or hoops, as is shown in the par
tial illustration of the derrick.
If the post is round instead of
square, as pictured, the boom may be
attached by using band on the post
and the iron device on the boom, like
those shown in one corner of the same
illustration, both of which may be
made from a heavy wagon tire and
fastened in place by bolts in the holes
made for this purpose.
The top of the post and the emo
of the boom are connected by a rope
and pair of single pulleys, or, better,
by a double block tackle.
The lower pin of the derrick post
revolves in a wooden block, having
an iron socket or a heavy stone with
hole drilled to receive it, and the
top pin is held by strong projecting
wood or iron cleat or one of the build
ing timbers.
The part of the post above the point
at which the boom is hinged should
be as long as the boom, so as not to
have the tackle work with too great a
loss of power.

A Valuable Curate.

There is much excitement in the
village of Slushton, because the most
important cricket fixture which the
village club had arranged was down
for decision on the following Satur-
day, and the bowler who had won
every match for them that season had
sprained his wrist, and consequently
would not be able to play.
All their fond hopes of victory had
gone, when, as a last resort, they
asked the new curate of the village to
play for them. He consented, and ow-
ing to his score of 81 and his capture
of eight wickets for "a runs they
scored brilliant victory.
The next morning as The squire,
himself an enthusiastic cricketer, was
leaving the church, where the curate
had just preached his first sermon,
he was asked by the vicar what he
thought of the new curate.
"Oh," responded the squire, "his
voice is weak, his doctrines shaky, he
isn't as learned as he should be, but
his cricket is a fair eye-opener. We
must keep him, even if we have to pay
him double the salary. "-London

LIVING WITH OTHERS.
1t Is Better, Even Where There Ia

ct is better to live with others even
at the cost of considerable Earring and
friction than to live in undisturbed

the other day.
Eyes, / know that sort of life brings
hurts, smarts and heartaches, to say
nothing of an occasional tempest, but
all the same it is an education that can
not be gained in solitude. Life brings
many changes and throws strange peo-
pie together, and i: is easy to decide
that some of ones kindred by birth or
by law-especially the latter-are so
uncongenial as to make living with
them uncomfortable.
Sometimes that is true, but very
rarely. Usually if two persons are
well-meaning-an most people really
do mean we'll at heart-they can grad
ually grow into each others ways, and
by doing so modify individual traits
and habits to the great improvement
of character. We need to have our

vanities punctured, and most of all to

OFFENSIVE BREATH.
Some Simple Disinfectant
with Regularity.

\ There are many causes for bad
breath; in some cases it is occasioned
by the teeth, in others by a disor
dered stomach or catarrhal trouble,
again it is the result of diseased and
decaying lungs.
AS persons afflicted with bad breath
are themselves frequently unaware of
the fact, it is the duty of those with
whom they come in contact to call at
: tention to the matter in as kindly a
manner as possible. Where the dis
order comes from the teeth, the serv-
ices of a good dentist are necessary,
also some simple preparation for the
mouth. The following recipe is harm
less and good: One ounce of pow
dered boraX, one ounce of precipitat-
ed chalk, one-fourth ounce of pow
dered myrrh and one-fourth ounce of
powdered orris root. Charcoal is an
excellent remedy for feverish breath
and the Canadian snake root is also
very highly recommended; it imparts
a spicy aroma to the breath and
leaves a pleasant taste in the mouth.
Needless to say the greatest cleanli-
ness in regard to the teeth and mouth
is Indispensable. Many persons who
are most particular about brushing
their teeth after meals never think
of doing so before breakfast, and at
no time is it more important as vari-
Gus impurities gather in the mouth
at night. After cleaning the teeth in
the morning, wash the mouth with
weak boraX water.
Where the offensive breath is
caused by some incurable disease the
person thus afflicted is deserving of
sympathy and consideration. Even
then some simple disinfectant should
be used.-Eliza r. Parker, in National
Stockman.

Harmony in Color Schemes.

Women would do well to give much
thought to color harmony and circum
stances rather than style when choos

monious blending of wall and floor
covering, together with the woodwork,
depends much of the success of the
room; yet some woman, hearing that
red walls "are the STYLE" and seeing
how effective soft shade of it is with
the pure black Flemish oak, straight

HANDY FARM DERRICK.
Time and Labor Saved by It's Use
More Than Equals That Re-
CURED to Make 1t.

A simple and cheaply constructed
boom derrick, arranged as illustrated,
will be found of much service by
great many farmers, and the time and
labor that will be saved by its use will
more than equal that required to make
it, says an Ohio Farmer writer. When
boxes, barrels or sacks of produce
are stored in a basement, one man,
without some mechanical assistance
of this kind, will be unable to lift them
from the cellar way and load on a
wagon conveniently, and even if sew
eral men engage in the work, they
cannot remove and load the articles
as easily and speedily without the
derrick as they can by its help. A
derrick made in the same way, and
supported as best suits the case on
hand, will often be useful for other
purposes, such as getting out stone,
loading ice, etc.
For the derrick post use a piece of
stout timber not less than four by
four inches square, or a round pole,
if preferable. The length of this pole
will be governed somewhat by the
length of the boom and by the situa-

Mnnures and Potato scab.

1t is the common experience that
lime and ashes are apt to favor the
potato scab. The Rhode Island exper-
iments showed that this is attrib-
utable to their content of carbonate
of lime which renders the soil favor
ably alkaline. Similar increase of
scab followed the use of soda ash (car-
Donate of soda) potash Carbonate of
potassium) and magnesia. Stable
manure of all kinds favors the scab
development, probably for similar rea-
son. Fertilizing materials which do
not tend to increase the scab and which
may even check it are enumerated as
follows: Common salt, land plaster,
most commercial fertilizers Gnclud-
ing superphosphates), sulphate of
ammonia, nitrate of soda, kainit, mu.
rate of potash, sulphate of potash.

Mrs. Seton-Thompson, in her camp
