A Problem In Threes.

II three little houses stood in row,
With never a fence to divide
And If each little house had three little maids
At play in the garden wide,
And If each little maid had three little cats
(Three times three times three),
And IL each little cat had three little kits
How many kits would there be2
And IL each little maid had three little friends
With whom she loved to play,
And If each little friend had three little dolls
In dresses and ribbons gay,
And If friends and dolls and cats and kits
We're all invited to tea,
And If none Of them should send regrets,
How many guests would there be2

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS,
A Baby l Know.

Gods angel was hidden to make her fair,
SO he wove the sunshine into her hair;
He took Of the mid.noon's cloudless skies,
And fashioned therefrom her two blue eyes
He washed her white with the sinless SHOWS,
And painted her cheeks with the dawn's faint rose
He dimped her tiny hands and feet;
He made her sunny, and soft and sweet
He moulded her round white limbs with art;
He got her from heaven pure childheart.
Then he kissed her lips, and her brow and eyes,
And brought her, sleeping, from Paradise.
Such virtue lies In those Kisses three,
That how so weary at heart are we,
The look and the smile on our baby's face
Bring rest and comfort. and endless grace.

Pulled Wool.

1t is not so very many years ago
since all the wool in this country
was shorn from the living animal.
Now great proportion of it is taken
from the pelts and is known as pull
ed wool.
A wool pullery, with its different
processes, is an interesting place to
an outsider. The pelts, as they como
from the slaughter houses, are
thrown into large watts and left tn
soak in water for "a hours to loosen
the dirt and other foreign matter
which has become matted into the
wool From these watts the pelts arc
taken to the scrubbers.
These are machines that work OF
the same plan as the old corrugated
roll washing machine. After going
through three or four of these ma
chines-commenc with cold wa
ter and ending with water that is
quite warm-the wool is clean and
white The pelts are next freed from
any particles of flesh or fat which
may have adhered to them, and are
then carried to the painting room.
Here the pelts are laid flesh side
up on long tables by one man, while
another, whose hands are incased
in thick gauntlet gloves, paints them
thoroughly with depilatory prepa-
ration for loosening the wool, using
a wide brush, similar in appearance
to whitewash brush Another man
follows him, turning over each al
ternate pelt so that the fleshy sides
will come together, and then piling
them in heaps on the floor, where
they are left for the chemical to act.
When they have remained for q
sufficient time in the painting room,
the pelts are piled on drays and
wheeled to the pulling room, Here
they are taken in hand by a man
whose quick eye determines the
grade of wool there is upon each
pelt, and who quickly sorts them in.
to different piles, ready for the pull
ers.
Each wool puller stands before
what resent les more than anything
else carpenter S horse with the leg.
knocked off at one end. The pelt il
thrown over this horse and the WOO
loosened by the depilatory prepare
ton is easily and quickly pulled GU
by the handful and thrown into bar
rels conveniently arranged arounC
him, according to grade and length
The skin when plucked is taken t.
another room, where it is treatec
and made into picked stock, read,
for the tanner.
When a barrel is filled with wool
it is placed on truck and wheeled
to another room, where the matteC
wool is run through picking ma
chine, which separates it into small
bits and throws it with a miniatur
snowstorm effect from the end o
the machine on to the floor, where i
Is loaded into truck with snoy
shovels and wheeled into the dryin
room.
When the wool is thoroughly dried
it is raked up, piled into cart an
taken to the storeroom, where it j
dumped into bins. Here it usual
remains, open for inspection an
sampling, till it is sold, when it
bagged. Record.
