justly attribute it to any more deep

The first essential Of a good hair
brush is that the bristles should really
be bristles, not limitations. and that
they should be Of good kind, says
Parsons Weekly. Russian bristles
are the best; they are obtained from
the back Of the wild boar.
Russian bristles are very stiff, ia.
pering In shape, about seven inches in
length and either black or white.
These are the longest and stiffest OF
all. Only the butt end is used for hair
brushes. and the other end, known as
the flag" is employed for making
painting and decorating brushes.
The flag tapers very thin and ends In
several sprouts. SO that it makes q
very soft and flexible brush. The butt
end of the Russian bristle may be rec
ognized by it's thickness. for no other
bristle has so large diameter.
The next best variety is the Chinese
and is sent from Tientsin. 1t Is q
black bristle. about five and a half
inches in length and less stiff than the
Russian. 1t is not so durable as this
latter. but in other respects it is not
far behind.
German bristles vary in length and
quality. They are black, white and
brown, and the length ranges from six
inches to mere stump of an inch or
SO. The white are regarded as the
best of all these German varieties
and consequently fetch the highest
price.
American bristles are short, ranging
from two and half to three and a
half inches They are soft and flexi-
bic and for that reason are not so well
adapted for the manufacture of hair
brushes However, they are cheap
and are therefore largely used to mix
with the sitter kinds. This, by the
way, is one of the points to be noted
when buying-see if all the bristles
have the same stiffness.
Yet another variety is that obtained
from the sea cow. These bristles are
hard and durable, and they are black
in color.
Imitation bristles in the shape of
.fibers are often used. To detect the
true bristle from the imitation and al
so to ascertain the quality Of the real
article, run your finger down the Gen.
ter Of the brush. If the bristles spring
back quickly into the straight, MP
right position they are genuine, but If
they return slowly to the original posi-
ton it will be well to examine them
more closely. for this lack of residence,
or springiness, is one Of the signs by
which you will recognize the fiber.
See that the bristles are secured in
the back of the brush by wire.

In a new the third edition OF his
life OF General George Gordon
Meade" (The John c. Winston Com,
rany), the author, Mr.. Richard Meade
Bache, introduces most valuable ap,
pendix, entitled Grant vs.. Meade"
His contention Is that Meade should
have been promoted to the rank OF
lieutenant general instead OF Sheri.
dan, In support OF his thesis he pro.
duces copious correspondence and 9TH
er evidence not hitherto given to the
public. He amplifies his position in
detail, recognizing that all readers
of the present day may not be so con-
yersant with the incidents of the
times reCounted" as those who should
be would pass upon It a final Judgment
for their own satisfaction. In uphold
ing his view in favor of Meade, he
maintains, with the very strongest ev
idenCe arrayed in the most forceful
form in which a skilled controversial
list can present it, that ''it was Meade
who, as commander of the Army of
the Potomac, made its only successful
advance upon Richmond and complet
ed the discontinue of the Army OF
Northern Virginia at AppomattoX

not only Sherman, but also Sheridan,
were favored over Meade. But the
merits of the contention can be aDpre.
ciated only after a careful reading of
Mr. Bache's new contribution to the
subject.

Five kinds Of day lare recognized
and II has been said that the word
day has no real meaning without an
adjective defining what kind OF day
is meant. There is civil day. the as
Economical day, the apparent solar day,
the mean solar day and the sldereal
day. The civil day begins at the mid
night preceding mean noon and con-
sists of twenty-four hours counted att
or u O'Clock. The astronomical day be-
gins twelve hours after the civil day,
or at the mean noon Of the correspond
ing civil day. These hours are reck-
oned from o to "a. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that while 10 hours II min

many anomalies growing out OF this

many arguments in favor OF using the
