When the bundle of hair, or bristles, get
too big for quilts, they have to 60 into tin
tubes, with wooden handles But some
brushes, such as house painters use, are
even too large for tin tubes, and then they
are managed another way.
The brush.maker binds his bundle of
bristles as tight as he can, with strong
cords, which has been dipped in glue.
While he is doing this the small end of
the wooden handle is in the middle of the
bristles, but the big end is the one he
wants among the bristles when it is done;
so after it is bound up as tight as possible
he pounds the handle with great force, and
drives it up through the bristles, till the
large end Is where he wants it. That
makes it much tighter than he could tie it.
You look at one and see how tight 1t is.
It's funny to see man make scrub
bring-brush. He takes piece of wood
already fixed for him, with holes bored all
over It, Then he takes up little bundle
of bristles, makes them even at one end,
dips them into melted pitch-which prob
ably, you know, is the blacklist and stick.
lest stuff you ever saw--then he winds
piece of Irvine around them, dips again In
to the pitch, and just sticks it into the
hole with one twist. There it STAYS in
spite Of hot water and hard scrubbing.
Hair brushes are not quite SO easy TO
make. Did you ever see hair brush with
the back of, showing little zigzags Of fine
wire all over it,
Well, the way it is made is this Holes
large enough for the punches of bristles,
are bored all over the brush back, part W0y
through; and much smaller holes are bored
clear through. The workman takes tuft
of bristles, doubles 1t over a piece Of fine
wire, puts the wire through the little hole,
and draws the bristlcs up as far as the big
hole goes. That holds it tight and it goes
to the next hole, using the same wire.
When they are all in, the bristles are cut
off square, and fancy back glued on to
hide the wire. So you can't see what holds
the bristles so tightly.
Tooth brushes are made the same way,
only the little holes for the wire come out
on the side, and when it Is done they are
corked up with tiny ivory plugs. You
would not notice them unless you
looked for them. Some brushes have a.
many as thousand holes to fill.
But notwithstanding the great quaint
ties of bristles told you are used, they use
also for brushes hair from the backs of our
fur coated friends horse hair and goat hair
for hat brushes; fibres of whalebone for
very hard brushes broom corn and COCOA
nut fibre; and even spun glass, to use in
acids which will eat up ordinary brushes.

How to Get, and How to Lose, q Set
OF Teeth.

A BEAUTIFUL belle, whose mother kept
genteel boarding house in New York
city, induced one of hermamma's bOarders
TO Introduce her TO first class fashionable
uptown dentist of his acquaintance, as
she wanted set Of artificial teeth. Her
mamma accompanied her, and directed the
dentist to insert them on heavy gold
plates in the highest sly Of the art, with
ont regard to expense. On the first visit
the young lady's stumps were extracted,
and soon thereafter she had a mouthful of
gold plate and pearl artificial teeth, which
added greatly to her natural charms and
acquired graces. But the bill was not paid,
and after collector had worn out some
shoe leather and exhausted his patience in
trying to get pay from the mother, the
dentist related the circumstance to his
friend.
One morning the dentist called on the
ladies after passing few minutes IN gen.
eral conversation, he changed the subject
and talked business
Mamma, of course, professed to be very
sorry that she was unable to pay the
doctor" but would certainly do so in
few days. AS he was apparently about to
depart, he casually asked the daughter
how che liked her teeth, and she replied
that they were perfect ana pleased her
very much.
"Do they evcrslip or pain your" kindly
asked the doctor
"Very seldom, DOCTOR" she replied
sometimes they piach me little, but I
suppose that can't be avoided"
"Oh, yes" said the polite dentist, pull
ing pair of little nippcrs from his pocket,
"allow me to bend the plates little with
my nippers. and it will not occur again."
at the same time holding out his hand TO
receive them. The unsuspecting maiden
pulled them out and handed them to the
"doctor," who instead of nipping them
with his pincers, quietly wrapped them up
in his pocket handkerchief and placed
them in his pocket, and politely but firmly
told the terrified beauty that when her
mamma paid his bill she could have them,
but not before AS the girl was engaged
to be married TO well-tO do young gen.
tleman who had never seen her without
teeth, and who was expected to return TO
the city and hand her to the hymenial alter
in few days, that bill was paid.

Agricultural Societies and Fairs.

No agricultural community should be
without its Agricultural Society. An or.
ganization having for its object mutual as,
sistance and instruction should be of in.
terest everywhere. To assist in the form.
alton of such cooperative societies, we
give a few hints as to the mode of bring
ing them into existence, and some of the
advantages which may be derived from
them.
AS nothing can he done without money,
the first business will be to interest and
associate together sufficient number of
men TO contribute the necessary funds
Laws exist in all the States for the en-
couragement Of these enterprises and ii is
only necessary TO follow them in the mode
of organization and incorporation set
forth in each instance. These societies
should have for their objects, in addition
to the usual exhibitions, the introduction
Of improved stock, farm machinery, seeds
and agricultural literature. Each one
should aim TO possess one or more thor
ough bred male animals, together wita,
moving, reaping and threshipg machineh
and well-selected library for the use of
those of its member who cannot afford 10
purchase for themselves. An annual ex-
hibition should be held at some convenient
period, to which the public should be in
vited TO bring their stock, seeds and speci-
mems of fruit and crops for competition
The funds necessary to furnish the prizes
should be raised by small admission fee,
and TO make these secure, they should be
guaranteed by the members of the associa-
ton or some Of the weather. of them.
Once put into operation, experience
will soon show what is wanting and
suggest the remedy. If an exhibition
is all that can be accomplished at first,
good commencement will have been
made Above all things, get plenty of
exhibitors, and if the stock does not show
better than the seven lean kline dreamed
Of by Pharaoh, well and good, there is
something TO start from. Each year will
improve on the preceding one, and having
an ideal in view, every farmer in the
county will endeavor to attain 1t. We
remember the first exhibition in county
in Western State, at which there was no
blooded stock Of any kind, but such was
the impetus given to improvement by the
spirit Of competition engendered, that in
five years from that time there were ex.
hibitt d three kinds of puTe-bred horned
stock, five OF pure-bred sheep, and two Of
hogs; while the grades had already be-
come respectable in numbers and appear
ance. Besides this, mutual insurance
company had been started among the mem
bers, and nearly every house and barn in
that district was insured against fire.
As interchange of ideas is great help
To improvement, it would be well to enlist
in these annual gatherings some well in
formed farmer from distance who should
deliver an address upon some interesting
topic. This probably might be found
more instructive than a horse-race We
wish this doubtful agricultural feature
could be stricken out of the programme on
hese occasions -American Agriculturist

through the bars of lions cage. One OF
the most benevolent of men, who shared
not at all in the military enthusiasm of
his warlike brothers (the late Mr. Richard
Napier), ran his best friend through the
body, and ever after recalled the extreme
qualification he had experienced on seeing
the point of his sword come out through
the shoulders Of his beloved companion.
Other crimes committed in dreams need
not be here recorded, but am persuaded
that if We could but know all the improper
things done by the most proper people in
their sleep with the utmost sanqfr0id and
completely unblushing effrontery, the pic
ture would present diverting contrast to
our knowledge Of them in their conscious
hours. If the moral sense be not wholly
suppressed in sleep, there is certainly
enough evidence to conclude that it is

Thrash the Grain Early.

1T is always economical to thrash early.
We would advise every farmer who can
possibly do it, to thrash his wheat, rye, or
oats, as the crop is drawn from the field
There are many considerations in favor Of
doing this 1st BY reason of the state of
dryness in which it is hauled off the field,
the grain is in better condition for the
thrOshing machine Tor certainly as good)
than at any other time. Cd DULY one
handling is necessary, and this labor is
saved. 3D. At harvest time grain is al
most always In better demand by millers,
and in the general market often brings a
higher price than at OF her times Taking
one year with another, it will be found
that this is the most advantageous time TO
grain for speculation, very we'll: he has a
has; but we hold as general rule, that
SO soon as farmer has his produce ready
for market, then is his best time TO sell
The earliest markets are almost invariably
the best. We were once enabled to sell
the whole of our crop of wheat at high
price, for seed, because we had thrashed in
time and none of our neighbors had.
Lastly and most worthy of consideration

granary may be made rat proof, but barn
cannot, and if it could, would soon be
stocked by the animals carried in from the
field among the sheaves.
If four horses are kept on the farm, one
pair may be hauling while the other is at
the machine. If only single team is kept,
they can be unhitched from the wagon,
put into the machine, and as soon as the
load is thrashed, taken to the field again

ira hands may be profitably engaged put.

bagging grain, or storing it in the granary
If it is impracticable to thrash the grain
as it is drawn, we would stack it close to
the barn, make the top secure for a few
days, and as soon as possible, thrash it out.
Even this mode would tend TO save labor,
as well as grain, and on a small or new
farm, where machines are not as yet intro
duced, any plan whereby labor can be
saved is worthy of consideration and
