The technical beginning of the Hew ing iiiitchliiu ImliiHtiy In this couutrj wits Kept. 10, lH-IH, when Kilns Howe, ,lr., obtained a ialeut for what grew Into the llrst really practical sewing Machine. Only three of the Urst Howe iiiiicIiImcb were made, however, and one of I hero was deposited in the put cut olllee In Washington as u model, It was not until after 18.10 that a fac tory for tin, making of sewing ma chine was built, so Hie enormous busi ness of today bus grown tip in a short half century. While Howe's Invention marked the beginning of a successful Industry, he was by no nieaiiM the pioneer In ef forts to sul, Kill ute mechanical for band sewing. As Tar back as 1770 Thomas Alsop patented in Kiiglnnd a machine for embroidering. Another 'machine for embroidering In a loom was invent ed by John Dttnciin In 1804, and twenty-live yenrs later another Englishman named llellmnh patented still another embroidering mnehlne, Tbo Ilt-st recorded attempt nt me chanical sewing was tbo Invention of ThoiuiiH Unlet, who took out a patent In Knglund In 171)0 for a machine which executed the old crochet stitch. It was not a siieecitK, but somo of tbe f cut arcs of tho Halnt machine appear In the perfected machine of today. Iturtliolemy Thlmonnler patented lo Prance In lH.'tO tbo first sewing ma chine put to practical use. Eighty of his machines wero In uso for sewing army clothing In 18-11, when a mob de stroyed them because convinced they would drive seamstresses out of em ployment. Tlilmonnlcr built new and better machines, but all his work was again destroyed by angry artisans In 1818. . John J. Greenougb took out tbe first patent for a sewing machine Issued In the United States In 18-12. It was in tended to sew lent her, but was of no practical use. Walter Hunt of New York built sewing machine In 1834. but failed to protect It by a patent. After Howe's mueblne appeared Hunt declared It embodied the Ideas of his macblno of 183). but be was unublo to .establish bis claim. A small army of Inventors appeared after Howe's patent bad proved suc cessful, and their genius was devoteJ to perfecting every part of the ma chine. How well they have succeeded Is shown In the &.500 patents for sew ing machines and attachments Issued by the United States since ISM) and In the fact that the American sewing ma chine leads all others In every country In tbe world.

EXS8 PaJthfnl to the Laust. In many Scotch families tbe old man servant is a permanent Institution. He enters the service of a family when be la a boy, sticks to bis place and re signs only when tbe Infirmities of age are upon him. Naturally he grows in time to claim as rights wbat were at first granted him as favors and if he is opposed asserts himself with a spirit of independence. An Eugllsb paper tells a story illustrative of this. A lady's coachman, a crusty old fel low, who bad been in tbe Bervlce of tbe family in ber father's time, gave her great trouble and annoyance on several occasions by not carrying out ber instructions. At length his conduct became unbearable, and she determin ed to dismiss aim. Calling blm into her presence, she said with as much asperity as she could command: "I cannot stand this any longer, John. You must look out for another situa tion. You will leave my service at tbe end of tbe month." v - . ; Tbe old servant looked at ber In amusement for a minute, und then tbe characteristic "loyalty" came tothe surface. "Na, nn, my lady," he said. "I drove you to tbe kirk to be baptized, I drove you to your inarrluge, and I'll stay to drive you to your funeral." A School of Polaonera. A merciless school of poisoners once flourished In Venice. During tbe fif teenth century even the government of the state used poison without nny dis guise as a weapon. A body called "the council of ten" was appointed to 'deter mine who should be dispatched, and they dealt with the lives of princes, kings and popes as one would deal with superfluous trees in a wood. A curious document Is still extant in which the proceedings of this couucil are record ed. It shows tbat one John of Ruguba prepared a selection of poisons nnd scale of fees. The fee varied with the Importance of the victim utid the length of tbo journey to be made for his dis patch. For poisoning the Duke of Mil an he charged CO ducats, for the pope lot) ducats, for the king of Spulu 150 ducats, for tbe "great sultan" 500 duc ats. The Other Side.
