A WOMAN'S INVENTION.
Feminine Ingenuity Has Revolusionized .
Great Industry.


Among the inventions Of women on
exhibition at Atlanta is one interest
ing for two reasons-the first that it
dates from period before women
were accounted active in any but the
domestic world; and the second, that
IL deals with department of industry
into which women always venture at
the risk Of being suspected of scant
knowledge and less experience-that
af mechanics
This is the straw-sewing machine,
which is entered oy the committee on
inventions by permission of its in
ventor, Mrs Mary ?. Carpenter Hooper,
of this city. Although its patent has
now expired, and its usefulness in part
done away with, this little ma
chine, not so big as type
writer, worked a revolution in great
industry, and to-day there is not one
inch of straw braid sewn into hats by
machinery anywhere in the world that
does notemploy a part of Mrs Hooperh
invention to accomplish the work.
Mrs. Hooper is the daughter of for.
mer New York lawyer, whose fingers
itched with inventive skill, while
he kept them bound with the red tape
Of his profession. so the source of Mrs.
Hooper's inventive faculty is not hard
TO find. It was while she was still
Miss Carpenter that she learned
through some interested friends of the
curious state of affairs in the straw
sewing trade Up TO that time. 1871.
there had been but one practical straw
sewing machine invented, which ma
chine was controlled and used by a
combination OF three or four firms en-
gagged in the manufacture of straw
hats and bonnets- 1t was
called the Bosworth machine.
and was immensely valuab bic, al
though the operator had to be
an expert before she could make hat,
as the sewing had to be done back
ward, from the brim to the crown, and
wien done, the hat was wrong side
out, condition which often resulted
in breaking the straw while IL was be-
ing turned right
As Miss CARPENTER had shown hersei.
possessed OF pronounced inventive
skill, of which the patent Office already
bore record, these facts were pointed
out TO her by some of the leading
manufacturers, who were obliged to
sew ali their straw goods by hand, and
she was encouraged to attempt to
make new machine which could be
generally u-ed. In ISL she received
patent for her first model of machine,
but it was not satisfactory to herself.
and no second machine was built from
1t. A second attempt, year or two
later, did not yet fulfill all the require
ments she strove for. but in June, 1875,
Miss Carpenter completed a machine
that could make a hat from its tip or
top TO the outer edge Of the brim with
out taking It from the machine, and
when it was finished Il was right side

moreover, concealed the stitch, re-

Some Fine Points Which Developed When

A reporter was talking to an old hunt
er who had lived many years i'll the
west and other regions where hunting
was part of man daily living, and
the conversation turned on dogs after
it had run to considerable length IN 9TH

everything about dogs that was to be

Jim ups and swaps a pint of liquor fer

out with the dog to give the wolf a run,
and about two hours afterward, the
dog had the wolf goin lickety split. The

he could cut across the top and git IN

himself ON that dog and had been tellin
the whole neighborhood what a Tine dog
he had picked up.
Course Jim knowed dogs, and he
knowed that dog of his n would chaw
the wolf up III no time, and he went
over the hill chucklin. When he got to
where he thought the dog and Wolf

One winters day the late lamented
king of tramps, Harry Villier, met a
woman i'll the streets of Bangor, loaded
with valise and evidently in very
miserable frame of mind. She looked
so woebegone that he doffed his hat and
accosted her i'll his usual courtly fash
ion. She told a story of hunger loss of
position through sickness and of eyc-
tion from her own poor room because
she could not pay the rent All that eX

He begged a warm corner for her in
an engine room, hunted up some food
at neighborlng back doors. and when the
poor woman was warmed and fed he
shouldered her valise and told her to
follow him She did So He marched
straight iuto the country for half doz
Ell miles, then approached IL farmhouse
where he was known and solicited en-
ployment for the woman, giving her
glowing recommendation. She was
hired and for many years was hard

liable to accidents from lightning during
the first half of the year than during
the last, barns form an exception to

QUEEN OF HEARTS.


From dainty feet t. !. rted hair
MY laGy Is a suhe.au snarr,
And al THE flowers leol. 1T her
And think size is a fairer fowcr,
such I,nflin- beatty i Eor dover,
Such loPcor. .nas IN ler brown eyes stir,
In midair roi-,d to hoar h,r sing,
The skyla1k hovols Cuygne.
And all tn leaves that shift and sigh
Seem whispering Il L,r lovciinoss,
While saftost Wine2 her eurls earcss
And kiss her mouth L. oft as ],
All men and women as We meet
are glad ami swift to serve my sweet,
And others crushed In crow dcd marts,
Sunk low in sin and misery,
Her lily hands lift tcnderly--
And those, too, call her "Queen of
Hearts,
VANITY.
