New YORK. Nov. l4.-If one entertains
doubt about the capacity Of woman to
evolve from the realms Of her brain
power inventions that. in their way. are
quite as useful and ingenious as some Of
armed brother. an examination OF the
records Of the patent office will set the
question at rest. These, however, do
not tell the whole story. for, with the
confiding nature of her sex, she has given
to husband, or friend, or speculator,
hints and forms of devices that have
subsequently become of large mercantile
value and been adopted as tbs creations
Of third parties.
Few people in looking at the handsome
desks with rolling tops and massive
doors, that when opened present to the
eye great nests Of pigeon holes, suspect
that an idea so novel emanated from the
brain of lady highly cultivated in all
the graces of home. Yet It is even so.
Several years ago Mrs. Tracy, then Of
South Carolina and relative of the fa-
nous Rhett family Of that state. con-
ceived the plan of building such cover
upon and attaching the deep, swinging
doors to her sewing machine, and what
is still more remarkable, she made the
drawings and acted as her own mechanic.
The device. intended solely for her own
convenience, being seen by practical
men, was at once adopted, Improvements
were added, patents were taken out, and
in few months the result Of her in
genuity was in the market coming money
for lot Of people in whom she had no
earthly interest and from whom she has
derived little or no profit.
Sitting at that same sewing machine
one day the thought occurred to her that
instead Of Withdrawing the thread from
the needle with pair Of scissors, as was
usually done, 1t would be easier TO EN-.
ploy curved surface for the purpose.
She accordingly took her button hook,
sharpened its concave edge, and, presto.
her object was accomplished. This use
