Brushes OF Infinite yaricty.

"The manufacture Of brushes" re-.
marked u maker Of those indispenslb @
articles 10 New York Sun reporter u
few days ago, sis an entirely modern
industry. The ancients, with all their
Toasted skill and wisdom were ignorant
of both the broom and brush rs we know
them, or anything resembling them. In
lieu of the brush and broom thcy en-
ployed rude instruments of clumsy
manufacture and material, and un-
manageable bulk and weight.
"The modern brush, of infinite variety
and graceful design, is "A thing of beauty
and a Joy forever A well-made brush
is work of perfect skill and high
mechanical art. This adjunct Of our
modern civilization being used for every
conceivable purpose,i is accordingly made
of every kind of material. Wire, rubber,
wood and the hair Of the hog, horse,
badger sable, squirrel, bear and many
other animals are used in brush making.
The fine hair of the little Egyptian
ichneumon is largely employed in max
ing artists brushes.
"Fcw people are aware Of the con-
summatc skill required in the production
of good brush. All fine brushes are
hand made the wood work alone being
done by machinery. Bristles are more
frequently used than any other kind Of
hair.
Upon their arrival at the factory the
hairs are carefully blcachcd and sorted.
The latter is done by passing the hairs
through combs of various sizes The
thick hairs are lodged between the teeth
of fine comb. aud are thus puicKly
separated from hairs of smaller Circum.
ference. When sorted the hair, aro
deity and securely bound with wire and
placed into the little holes prepared for
their reception in the wooden body. An
ordinary houSc-plintcr's brush contains
several hundred orifces, into each one Of
which the hairs have to be placed
separately, and without the aid Of any
mechanical device.
"Thc process of brush making has
made but little progress in the past
century, so far as the invention OF ncw
machinery for expediting the manu-
factufe is concerned OF course, machin-
cry is employed in making the wooden
parts OF brush but beside the drill for
boring and the lathe used in turning the
ornamental rims and handles, no assist
ance is obtained from any mechanical
contrivance."

Origin OF "Ii0Odle.n

Doodle is probably derived from the
old English word 5ottel, bunch, or u
bundcl, as bottel Of straw. "The
whole kit and Doodle of them is New
England expression in common use, and
the word in this sense means the whole
lot. Latterly Doodle has come to be
somewhat synonymous with the word
pile, term in use at the gaming table,
aud signifying quantity of money. In
the gaming sense when man "lost his
Doodle" he has lost his pile or whole lot
Of money, whatever amount he happened
TO have with him. The word may he an
Anglicized form of the German word
beutel purse, and in a fguratiye sense,
money. y.-Aneriean Notes and Queries.

The Young Son Of n Revolutionary
Veteran.

1t is remarkable fact that we have in
town man only ! years oid whose
father was at the battle OF Bunker Hill.
Winfield scott llasham is the man we
have reference to. His father, stephen
llasham, was about fourteen years of age
at the time of the battle, witnessing the
engagement from the stccple of the
church mt the North End and carrying
water to the soldiers of the Copp's Hill
battery. He learned the trade of clock
maker and located in Charlcstown, y.
H.. says the Clarcmont Idroraic, becom-
ing in the course of time keeper of the
Eagle Hotel, max ing with his own hands
the eagle still used for sign. We un.
ders,and that he also made the eagle
which surmOunts the town IN Clarcmont.
He made se' 'eral town clocks, some Of
which are still in use. Mr.. Iashaln in
1isi married Susannah Hastings,
daughter Of Captain Johnson. Five
children were born to them aud in 1871
Mrs. llasham died. The same year Mr.
hasham, then some eighty years of age,
married Lucy A. Miller, of Spring cid,
VT, n woman many years younger thar
himself, and five more children were
born to him during the next ten years.
He died Feb. 4, 1851, aged about l0O.
OF his children only two survive. w.
5. lIasham, ADORE mentioned, and his
sister, Mrs. Eugene A. Randall, OF
Charlestown, who was born two years tc
u day after his birth.

Opium Smokers Increasing.

The number Of opium smokers in
China appears, according to Mr.. Consul
Hughes, to be increasing. Even women,
he tells us, are now in the habit of
frequenting opium divans; but efforts
are being made by the Chinese authori-
ties, with the assistance OF the municipal
police, to prevent the spread of this
dcmoralizing custom. The customs
returns show great falling Off in the
importations Of opium, but this is be.
cause the native production has super
seded the supplies from India. Shanghai
draws its present supplies chiefly from
the north Of China. A leading merchant
aiilrms that il is mixed with Indian TO
the extent Of thirty 10 thirty-fye per
cont, but other authorities put it lower.

A SONG.

There Is ever n song somewhere, my dear;
There Is ever a something sings alway:
There is the song of the lark when the skies
are clear,
And the song Of the thrush when tine skies
are gray. .....- -.s..g
The sunshine showers across the grain.
And the blucbird trlls in the orchard tree.
And in and out, when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.
There is ever n song somewhere my dear,
In the midnight black, or the midday blue;
Tho robin pipes when the sun is here.
And the cricket chirrups the whole night
through
The buds may blow, and the fruits may
grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp and
serc;
But whether the sun, or the rain, or the
snow,
There IS ever n song somewhere, my dear

Luck and Chance.

A term used not long since in con-
nection with an accident strikes line Of
reasoning worth following up. The
term used was "thc laws Of chance were
against them" Webster says chance is
"the absence OF any defined or recog-
nizcd cause" or IAN event which hap.
pens without any assigned cause" Clark
hit the mark truly when he wrote at
is strictly and philosophically true in
nature aud reason that there IS no such
thing as chance or accident; il being
evident that these words do not signify
anything really existing, anything that
is truly an agent or the cause OF an
event, but they signify merely mems
Ignorance of the real aud immediate
cause. IL seems as il the laws Of
chance" would be a pretty good field for
study, and that some pretty solid laws
are IN existence Somewhere on natures
statute book. Another term goes with
"chance." II is called "luck" Some.
times they go hand in hand as "lucky
chance Luck is disposed of in Web
steI's as that which happens TO "a per-
son; an event, good or i'll, affecting a
mans happiness or interests, and which
Is deemed casual; II course or series OF
such events regarded as occurring by
chance Now, then, luck is what
chance does, and we must "take the
chances" if we wish knowledge of this
matter TO acknowledge that there are
claws of chance admits that "A cause
precedes each event, aud gives some
ground TO work upon. II man would
think twice before he used the words
"chance" and "luck, he would not use
them at all, but reason out, as far ms his
knowledge would permit, the cause Of
each event he calls luck -Bostoa Gazette.

A Monster Bell in Lnpan.

If ! were good Buddhist, says a cor
respondent of the G.0je- Democrat,
would say prayer or two to the Chioin
bell, the largest bell in Japan, but mon.
stcr breathing sweet music that thrills
one from head to foot. and ringing so
seldom that the dates are kept in mind
carefully, lest one miss the great treat.
The bell hangs in shady little place at
the top of a stone staircase by itself, aud
j. struck from the outside by a swinging
beam that gives the soft rcvcrberations,
that DO not jar on the ear no matter how
powerful they are. When the huge
beam is unclaimed and ,wung it is gen.
orally at the time of the I'VE o'clock
mass IN thc morning, aud heavy slccpcrs
have been unconscious of the mus al
booming and missed il all. Others are
wakcncd by the strange vibration aud
the soft muse ringing and pulsating ON
the air, and in the half con, ciousncss OF
waking il seems like part OF some
beautiful dream. 1t is the greatest pity
that with such magnificent bell he
temple does not see tit to ring it oltencr.
The hion is II rich temple, and its
altar one Of the most gorgeous IN Kioto,
