"CAMEL'S HAIR" BRUSHES.
The Very Best of Them Are Made From
Squirrels, Tails.

The Very Best Of Them Are Made From
Squirrels Tails.
It may sound rather strange. but 1t
is nevertheless true that no brushes
are ever made OF camel's hair. yet
they are asked for daily and sold as
such.
There are very many kinds of hair
used In the making Of "camel's hair
brushes, such as bear, fox, rabbit,
squirrel. etc. and. indeed. one au.
thority states that over $50 sorts Of
brushes are known as "camel's hair"
brushes. but there is only one defini-
ton accepted by the British board Of
trade-i. e., "camel's hair" brushes
made from squirrel tails. these being
the best and most expensive.
Real camel's hair is absolutely use
less for making brushes and resembles
soft tow of yellow-brownish color.
The name OF camel is the only part
which could be used. and possibly a
dozen brushes could be made from one
name
AS matter OF fact, there are only
two specimens of brushes made from
the actual hair of Il camel in existence
The reason for the term "camers hair"
Is the fact that man named Camel
was the first one to make these finer
kinds of brushes, and they became
generally known as real camel's hair
brushes. ."-London Answers.

she was taken into the home of Mr..

traits OF character were developed In
Rosabelle that they became much at
tached to the girl, and her affection for
them was pronounced. One day when

came to Mrs. Deene to ask "favah"

STATE INSPECTORS
TO HAVE MEETINGS
Northwestern HOrtiCuIturiStS
Will Gather at Apple Show
November 16 to Fl.

The horticultural commissioners of
the four northwestern states will meet
in conference in Spokane during the
week of the seventh National Apple
Show, November 16 to 81.
The purpose of the session will be
not only to check over the work now
in progress in the various states but
to agree upon notifications which
may mean more uniform horticultural
laws in the northwestern states.
A special invitation has been ex-
tended by the Spokane chamber of
commerce and the trustees of the ap-
pie show to the commissioners and
inspectors in the northwest to meet in
Spokane, and In addition to their own
sessions to participate in the programs
OF the fruit products congress which
will be held in conjunction with the
apple show. These conference dis
cussions will extend throughout the
entire six days of the apple show and
will cover wide range of subjects.
Will Record Practical Ideas.
Some of the visiting commissioners
and state inspectors will take part in
the programs. Every effort will be
made by the apple show trustees to
make the fruit products congress of
definite and positive value to the or
chard industry. The special problem
before the show and conference is to
assemble the practical ideas of the
best orchardists, the type of men that
are seldom heard from.
Every effort will be made to get
these men from the different districts
into the general discussions on diff
ferent subjects under consideration,
and not only to get their opinions ad-
vanced for the benefit of those at
the meetings, but also to have their
talks taken by stenographers that they
may be of permanent value to the or.
chard business of the northwest.

POTATOES AS FOOD.
At First Only the Seed Of the Tubers
Was Thought Fit to Eat.

Was Thought Fit to Eat.
When potatoes were first used for
food il was the seed" or apple" that
WAS used. and 1t was some time before
the tuber was found 10 be the most
delicious food. Up to the end of the
seventeenth century the potato was
out of the reach OF people of moderate
incomes Ii is recorded that In 1862
potatoes were sold at I shilling (25
centSI a pound in the London markets.
but the s;tie was small because 80
many people believed that the potato
caused leprosy and fever. Others de-
clared that they were endangering
their souls II they ate the potato. since
the tuber was not mentioned in the
Bible
The late Duke of Argyll in mis- his.
tory of Scotland says that little or
nothing was known of the potato in
Scotland until long past the middle of
the eighteenth century. The Duchess
of BuccIeuch. in her Household Book"
for the year 1901. speaks of the potato
as Ian esculent of great rarity"
Hugh Miller. in his Schools and
Schoolmasters." says that his mater
nal grandfather about the year lT40
used TO bring home in his pocket some
three or four potatoes as great rarities
grown by the gentry. for he was "a
friend of the head gardener at Bana-
gown castle. Thomas Carlyle tells us
that his father got possession Of four
potatoes and knew so little about them
that he hid them away for a possible
time Of want and that potatoes were
saved TO be eaten at Halloween There
is no doubt that the Irish were the first
people ~ recognize the value of the
potato as staple article of food
