As early as 1790 there was a rude machine used by shoemakers for sew ing the leather for boots and shoes That was the first step in the progress of mechanical sewing, but the ma chine was too crude to be used os anything finer than leather. The first really practical sewing machine was made .by a poor tailor Barthelemy Thimmonier of St. Eti | enne, France, in 1830. In Thim- | monier's apparatus the needle wai | hooked at the end, and, descending through the cloth it brought up witk | it a loop of thread that it carried ) through the previously made loop and thus formed a chain"on the upper | stitface of the fabric. Although the machine was made of wood and very clumsy, it appeared at an opportune time, for there was a great demand just then for thousands of extra army garments that could not be supplied through the regulai sources. As many as eighty machines were. made and used for the Govern. ment. But the occasion that made the invention successful was also the means of its downfall, for shortly af- terward an ignorant and furious mot wrecked the establishment and nearly murdered the unfortunate inventor. Thimmonier, however, was nol discouraged. He went to Paris, trav. eling the entire distance on foot, without a penny in his pocket, Ir that city he had the good fortune to interest a firm in his invention, and preparations were made to begin manufacturing the machines. But scarcely was the enterprise started when the revolution of 1848 turned the country upside down and blasted the prospects of the resolute inventor Still he hoped to get recognition in the great exhibition at London in 1851, but here his machine failed absolutely to attract any attention s0, downhearted and discouraged, he journey sadly back to St. Etienne and died there in 1857. Elias Howe was more fortunate His machine, 00, was more ingeni- ously made and did better work, but | there is no doubt that Thimmonier the poor French tailor, deserves the ! credit of making the first practical | sewing machine. How the Debt Was Collected. In the home of a certain influen- tial family they arose one morning to | | find that no breakfast had been{pre- | pared, even the kitchen fire had (0) Upon investigation the cook was discovered peacefully re-! clining in bed. "Are you ill?" inquired the mis- I tress. "Not at all. I feel quite well," was the surprising response, but still no | persuasion would induce her to arise. | After a time the 'doctor was sent for. He put to her his usual ques- tions, but the girl ifhsisted that she felt perfectly well. i "If, as you say, you are not ill," | sald the man of pills and potions, | | "then tell me in confidence why you | won't get up and go to work." | "Well," said the girl resolutely, | "these people owe me $25, and I } won't stir until they pay it." | "Do you think you'll get it quicker | by staying in bed?" asked the doctor. | "I most certainly do," she replied, with a gleam of the eye that express- ed' determination to fight it out on | that line if it took all summer. The doctor, turning to go, said: | "Roll over and stay there. That's the | ly way you'll get it. They owe me | 80." . Kitty Felt Guilty. It was Ritty's first dinner party. | As her dinner escort was presented | to her she noticed that he was a member of thé new family who had recently moved into the house direct- ly across the street from her. Dur ing the meal there chanced to be a! discussion of various kinds of beau- tifvl profiles. Wishing to say some- thing complimentary to the shy de- | butante, Kitty's partner remarked: "If you will allow me to say so, your | own profile is very charming. 1] should think you would be' tempted to spend a great deal of time stand- | ing before your mirror with a hand! glags admiring the pretty curves." To which Kitty, blushing searlet, asked, "Are you joking, or have you really seen me do that?" War Redeems an Apache. Not long before the war a notor- fous apache asked a Paris police cap- | tain for a job as stool pigeon, bur- glary being dull for the moment. The | captain accepted, whereupon the apache held out his hand, but the captain turned away. The other day the capiain got a pusicard from the apache at the front. It read: : i "You refused to shake my hand lately. You were quite right. But now I think you'd comsent to shake my hand, for I've only one left." The captain admits he would shake hands now. - : a The rile of love is usually move ef fective than the rule of might. TS The Standard Lye of Canada.
