as the land question has bred reyou-

1t may sound rather strange, but it
is nevertheless true that no brushes
are ever made of camers 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.

ity states that over $50 sorts OF
brushes are known as "camels-hair"
brushes, but there is only one defini-
ton accepted by the British board Of
Understandable brushes made
from squirrel tails, these being the
best and most expensive.
Real camel's hair is absolutely use
less for making brushes, and resem-
bles soft tow of yellow-brownish col
or; the name of camel is the only
part which could be used, and possibly
a dozen brushes could be made from
one name.
AS a matter of fact there are only
two specimens of brushes made from
the actual hair of a camel in existence.
The reason for the term "camels-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 camers-hair
brushes. STRAY Stories.
