There are few words which it is at once so

The wool of the lama and goat are analogous
products used in textile manufacturers. The
Saxon and Merino varieties are of the finest
texture, and command the highest prices.
Wool was staple for manufacturing pur-
poses in the primitive history OF Palestine, Sy
ria, Greece. Italy and Spain. A wooden factory
wss established at Florence in the beginning
of the thirteenth century the first of importance
of which there is a reliable record, it was sig
nally successful. 1t became the model of many
other factories subsequently built. Later in
the same century there were as many as two
hundred shops of clu'h-wo rkers in Florence.
Later still in the history of the same century
and city, from T0,000 to 10000 cloths were
turned out OF the value of 200 900 golden 40
rins--Flanders also furnishes an interesting
field of study in the department of wooden man :
ufaclureS during about the same period, and it
was from this source that Britain was chiefly
supplied with fabrics.
1t is well known how rapidly the business
grew in importance throughout the British do
minions under the improved models OF manu-
factory. The census of 1851 for that empire
puts down the number OF workmen employed
in the WOODEN and Norsed branches at 295 ,56S
In 1857 the exports of wooens and worsteds

The amount of wool raised in the United

years later (lS5O.) it had increased to 52,5l6,

over until they are good for nothing. His case
is common one, as to the modern chairs: we
recoect a boarding-house whose halls were
generally incumbered with broken chairs, which
were regularly carted once month to be re-
paired and this is common practice at board
lighthouses that are economically Managed
The wonderful improvements in economy OF
manufacture tend to increase this fragility and
it will become necessary for vulgar persons to
cure themselves Of their habit of leaning the
chair upon its hind legs, or they will break
down very often, and may get hurt or laughed
at. If any green reiormer thinks of using
strong tinker and strong glue, and making his
joints strong he will soon be out of the trade.
