Dr Sarah Anderson Brow i has devised a Home for Inebriate Women in England. The treatment is to consist mainly of open air exercise in poultry farming, bee keeping; flower culture. &c. ' Encouraged by the results attained on similiar lines in America, it is hoped that the patients will regain healthy minds and bodies, and become fit to resume family life. The next step will be to alter the Inebriate Act, so that Magistrates convicting women of drunkenness will send them to such Homes instead of to prison. The scheme has been helped towards fulfilment by the Parliament of the World’s Women which recently met in England. Lady Henry. Somerset thinks the next World’s Convention will be held in Australia, and the prospect must cheer the colonial women in the consideration of our own problems. / Mr G. H. Cox (according to the Australasian) speaking-at the Sydney wool sales, stated that 98 years ago the number of sh‘ e.) in Australasia was 1,536. To-day the number is 125,000,000. In the whole world the number is 575,000,000. These figures show that Australasia possesses nearly 21 per cent of the world’s live- stock in sheep. . The yield of wool in Australasia is 675,000,Q001b5. Tfye yield of wool in the world is 2,400,000,0001b5. Australia is thus shown to be the most prolific' country in the world for Jwool growing, , for, while it owns 20 per cent .of the..woidd: sheep, it produces over -28 per cent of the whole quantity of wool grown.. But the price of , wool, has not kept pace with its increased growth; if it had, the value of the wool grown in Australasia would be .£35,000,000 per annum. As it is, the return made for the 675,000,0001bs of wool it produces is about £17,500,000, a fraction under 6d per lb. Of the 120,000,000 of sheep in Australasia, New Sonth Wales possesses 57,000,000, or per cent, and its return is £B,000,000 out-of £17,500,000, or 46 per cent. With a population of 1,240,000 out of 4,000,000 in Australasia, New South Wales possesses 471 per cent of sheep; that is to say, 46 sheep to each person in New South Wales.
