Where Sheep Lose Their Wool.
KEY West Democrat,

Sheep will lose their wool IN the sec.
nnd year that they are on this island
No natter where they are brought from
they will become as woolless as goats
Lambs dropped here will retain theil
wool just about the same length OF time
when their woolly coats become nothing
else hut sot short hair, like in every
respect TO that of goat. We knew be-
fore that there were woolless sheep, bui
did not think that an importation Of any
kind to strictly tropic cline would re-
suit as above.

HINTS ON READING.
81. The more the reading sounds
like pleasant talking, as general
rule the better it is.
A good style in reading is not
matter Of precept, but of example.
Children will catch the style they
hear, good or bad.
3. 1t is better for pupil to ex-
press the idea, even if he mis- calls
word now and then, than to read all
the words and have no idea. A
wrong idea is better than none at all.
a.. Do not find fault with a child's
reading, nor tell him it is bad, unless
you clearly show where the fault lies
and point out a better way.
S. Encourage pupil by pointing
out the good things in his reading,
rather than discourage him by ridi-
culing the bad qualities.
6. Require the class to listen to
individual readers and tell what is
well done, rather than to pick flaws.
I, 7 The teacher should always
have the book in hand when con-
Quoting reading lesson, bv' depend
sometimes upon the ear alone for
criticism.
8. Its time and labor saved on all
the other studies if pupils are taught
to read infeihsenty; inaslnuch as in
telligent reading is the key to all
knowledge. School Journal.
