Science OF Woodworking

A French contemporary directs attention
to the influence on the quality Of the fleece Of
the food which the sheep eats, and dwells on
the following four points: First, to obtain the
right quantity Of good wool the sheep must
he veil fed. Second, If the sheep receives
too much food which is not Sufficiently nutri-
tive, the wool lacks strength, is destitute of
grease and becomes in consequence fabby,
rough to touch dry and harsh Third, regu-
laritJ in the distribution Of the food is very
important; faults ia this matter affect the
quality Of the wool. Fourth, there is a diff
ference Of opinion about the action Of certain
food on wool. All, however, agree in ascrib.
ing a marked influence to fertile pastures. -
The wool Of sheep that enjoy such pasturage
is abundant; the fibre is long and ls charac-
terized BY its softness, whiteness, lustre and
strength. Sturm, who is high authority on
the subject, has proved that all the foods
which promote perspiraton produce fine
wool.

Remember The Poor.

The cold and inclement season is upon US
and we cannot be too thoughtful of the COM
fort of others. There are probably many in
our midst who will suffer ffo!S the icy breath
Of winter, and whom from various causes
have hard time in keeuing the wolf from the
door. Little bodies will cry for warmth and
there will be no warmth for them, and little
mouths will appeal for bread and there will
be no bread for them. To these of this class,
fhe deserving poor, whom we have always
with us, be mtrciful and let not your charity
be grudgingly bestowed. Remember, that
''inasmuch as We did it unto one of the least
Of these, nv brethren, We did it unto me.

CONSTITUTION FOR BRAZIL.

The provisional government of Bra
zil has instructed its committee on
framing a constitution to follow as
closely as possible the American model.
A republic has an easy task to-day to
frame an organic law by which to live.
The men who blazed their way through
a terra incognita in the line of govern
mental needs, did their work so well
that all the world has learned. And
not only this, but the experience of a
century has added largely to the
ease with which the constitution
makers of to-day may take their
work in hand. That the constitution
of the United States, creation rather
than development as it was, lacked
but little of being complete, seems
indisputable from the fact that in
more than one hundred years we have
had but fifteen amendments. When
the committee has done its work it
will be submitted to the people for
their direct vote of approval or dis
In one particular at least
they are ahead of US. While we are
cropping in tie direction of compul-
sorry education law they have gone
straight to the mark and have made
the ability to read and write a con-
dition of citizenship.
