TO MAKE A PUTTY THAT WILL STAY WHERE PUT. The greatest trouble with putty for almost any purpose, is itsliability to, dry hard and. chip out,, and especially is this the case in which bristles are obtained live in a semi-wild state, are thin andlong-legged, being almost entirely without fat, and are not killedwhen young, as they are here. Russian bristles run perfectly uniform ; one bundle representsthe whole package or cask, they being inspected by governmentofficials who reject all stock not up to the standard, and there arebut few grades of them. The best quality is called Okatka, and isfrom five to eight inches in length. The next quality is c-alled. ]T WoliCo K^V/ ^ii>\ 1^JOf v Firsts, and is from four to six inches in length. These two gradesare stiff bristles. Length, color and stiffness are the character-istics on which the value of all bristles depends. The third quality is called Suchoys, is from four and a half to fiveinches in length, and is without stiffness. The fourth quality iscalled Seconds^ and is essentially like Suchoys^ the principal differ-ence being in length, the length running from three and a half tofour and a half inches. German, Polish, and bristles from some other countries, run the plate glass of heafses and carriages. To full} overcome thetrouble, take a piece of velvet or plush, and pull out the warp,which will leave the woof in the form of short threads. Mix thisintimately with your putty, and it will act like hair put in plaster,preventing any disintegration. I FASHIONABLE COLORS. I Shell Pearl.—Add carmine to white. Shrimp P
