The technical beginning of tlic sew ing machine industry in this cc;.:itry was Sept. 10, lSJii, when Elias Howe, Jr., obtained a patent for what grew into the first really practical sewing machine. Only three of the first Howe machines were made, however, and one of these was deposited In the put out ollice in Washington as a model. It was not until after 1S."( that a fac tory for the making of sewing ma chines was built, so the enormous busi ness of today has grown up in a short half century. While Howe's invention marked the beginning of a successful Industry, he was by no means the pioneer In ef forts to substitute mechanical or hand .sewing. As far back as 1770 Thomas Alsop patented in England n machine for embroidering. Another machine for embroidering in a loom was invent ed by John Duncan In 1804, and twenty-five years later another Englishman named Heilinan patented still another embroidering machine. The first recorded attempt at me chanical sewing was the invention of Thomas Saint, who took out a patent In England in 17!() for a machine which executed the old crochet stitch. It was not a success, but some of the features of the Saint machine nppenr In the perfected machine of today. rtartholeiny Thimonnler patented In France in 1S:!0 the first sewing ma chine put to practical use. Eighty of his machines were In use for sewing nrmy clothing in 18-11, when n mob de stroyed them because convinced they would drive seamstresses out of em ployment. Tliimonnier built new nnd better machines, but nil his work was again destroyed by angry artisans In 1S48. John J. Greenough took out the first patent for a sewing machine Issued In the United States In 1S42. It was in tended to sew leather, but was of no practical use. Walter Hunt of New York built n sewing machine in IS.'!-!, but failed to protect it by a patent. After Howe's machine appeared Hunt declared it embodied the ideas of his machine of 1H.'!4. but he was unable to establish his claim. A small army of Inventors appeared after Howe's patent had proved suc cessful, and their genius was devote-1 to perfecting every part of the ma chine. How well they hnve succeeded Is shown in the S..",00 patents for sew ing machines and attachments Issued by the United States since lSfiO nnd In the fact that the American sewing ma chine lends all others in every country In the world.

A curious instance of provincial hos pitality In a small Tuscan town is re corded by Luigi Vlllarl in "Italian Life In Town and Country." A lady of very noble birth and of considerable wealth was giving a mu sical party it was the first time she had invited friends to her house thnt season. The entertainment began at p. m. and lasted till 7. No refresh ments were provided for the guests, but at half past 4 n servant appeared and solemnly presented a cup of choco late to the hostess and one to her moth er. This, of course, would only be pos sible In a very provincial town. In the more civilized spots excellent refresh ments are always offered to the guests. A Scriptural Wrapon. Children tumble Into strange morass es when they grapple with theology. I hey trip over words. For example. the other day a teacher at Stepney took for the Iiible lesson the story of Sam son.

While many of the hardwoods in use nt the present day are of comparatively recent introduction, ebony was known and highly esteemed by a number of ancient races and used by them for kingly and other purioses. While the nnme ebony is given to the wood of several varieties of trees, all kinds are of great density and dark color, the heaviest varieties being, ns a rule, also the darkest. There are three varieties of ebony well known iu the trade. The ebony from the Gaboon coast of Africa Is the darkest. The Madagascar ebony Is the densest. The Macassar ebony furnishes the largest pieces. London is still the chief mart for this wood,' und from there it is shipped to the various countries in which it is used for manu facturing purposes. popular Me chanics.

I went up stairs and met a friend who had lieen n conference that morning with Mr, Johnson on the sul.jcvt above men tioned. He said to me: 'If you have any request to make of the president this morning, keen It until some other time. He is angrier than I hnve ever seen him. A moment ago General Grant strode Into his presence nnd per emptorily demanded, "I)o you Intend to revoke the parole of General '.ol.ert h. Lee nnd other ottlcers of he late Confederacy?" "-l am considering the subject," Johnson replied. "You need not consul er it. Those paroles were signed by me as general commanding the army of the United States. My promise to them shall be kept In good faith If It takes the nrmy of the United States, plus the army of the late Confederacy, to en force it." Saying this. Grant retired and left Johnson white with rage.' We never heard any more of the revocation of the paroles." Indianapo lis Senttner. OLD FASHIONED.

It Is an object lesson In godliness to see a surgeon washing his hands after performing an operation, says the Chi cago Chronicle. He works of course with sleeves rolled up to the elbow, so that the washing extends from the cra zy Immic to the tip of the finger nail. First there is a hard scrubbing with plain soap and sterilized water. This is followed by a swabbing with tincture of green soap and sterilized water. Then comes n genuine scouring with equal parts of quicklime nnd sodn In sterilized water and finally a rinsing in a solution (1 to 2..MNI) of bichloride of mercury. Without these four separate washings no surgeon would think of venturing out to scatter germs of dis ease. Homanre of a Marrlnare License.

Imniltxraata For America Are Looked I'pon aa t'nraro. One of the biggest liners sailing out of France, with 800 steerage passen gers aboard, was selected for observing the manner of handling steerage pas sengers Ixiund for America. A firm conclusion reached after the cxieiicuce of that trip is that an liuuii grant of this class has to put up with lunch unnecessarily unpleasant treat mentfirst, simply because he is an immigrant and therefore in judgment meriting it, and, secondly, because, be ing what he is, lie has not yet learned to protect himself. The picture con- Jured up by the term "immigrant" In the minds of those who have their care en route is not at all the color of the vision that arises before us with the word. Here iu America we have a notion of a baud of earnest and, it mav be, If we are uncharitable, worn and unwashed men and women with fam ilies, though the family and the wash lug are really outside for the moment, hurrying from hard conditions of life- scant, underpaid labor, Ignorance, op- presslon. misrule pressing on to what they must conceive to be a bright land of promise or they would not be rush ing here: to a glorious young country, where all men are free and equal and all that sort of thing, Rut the man who has to see that these immigrants are given food and bunk and that they do not fall sick below has no such fancies. His sympathy, he will tell you, Is not for the immigrants, but for the country that is to get them. Those in charge of the Immigrant from southern Europe will tell you that he Is not a desirable creature. Thev have handled many, many thousands of his kind, and they should know something of him now.

"I think that the Americans are alto gether too quick to pick a quarrel,' said a (iernian hotel keeper In Harlem who had Just had a petty tussle In put ting out an unwelcome customer. "They are not to be compared with the French. " said an American lawyer who happened to drop In. "Why, you know about those French apprentices. how they are always ready to tight and often lose their lives over a few words." I've heard about these apprentices.' said the tJernian. "We have them In our country. They roam around the country. P.ut what of that?" Yes." was the answer. "A party of them, with a leader and representing some craft, will, for Instance, meet an- otner party or apprentices. Thev are organized into different societies, each Intensely Jealous of the other, and if two such bands are different societies there Is a tight iu an Instant. First the eaders come to blows, and then the melee becomes general. They fight with lists and sticks until the road is littered with the wounded and some times the dead."
