THE SEWING MACHINE BUSINESS


The sewing machine does not occupy
the position in domestic life that it did
ten years ago. There has been great
revolution in the sewing machine bust
ness in that time. The evolution which
began when the foremothers of the coun-
Try gave up their hand looms and sent
their spinning and weaving to he factory
is still going OF. The appearance of the
sewing machine marked one stage of the
evolution,and its disappearance rs one of
the most important assistants in very
family marks another The sewing ma.
chimes are superior now to those made ten
or twenty years ago, and they are made
TO do better and II greater variety of work,
but the great demand for them comes
from different quarters. One large sew.
ing machine company, which has an out
put of over 100000 machines year in
this country alone, manufactures fifty dis
tlnct types of machines, and with the va.
riatlons with the types there are several
hundred different kinds of machines
Many of these go into factories. \ woman
can buy undergarments ready made
cheaper than she can buy the material
and make them herself This is owing to
the factory work, where each worker
makes part of the garment which has
perhaps been cut out by die, fifty pieces
at tune. The lack of room in city de.
partments makes economy of space ne
cessity, and the housekeeper for the peri
odical visitations of the seamstress or
dressmaker hires II machine from places
where speciality made of that branch
OF the business. Outside the large cities
this practice is not so common The
manufacturers say that the family trade
they lose is made up not only in selling
to manufacturers but to the many
foreigners in the country, who, in a city
like New York, do great quantities of
work Tor manufacturers on their own
machines in their owl. homes. 1t is csti-
mated there are one million machines
sold in the United States annually. The
statistics of the census of 1890, showing
the snumber. of manufactures on which
machine sewing is used are interesting.
They also show that the production of
mems clothing in factories were nearly
double that of the tailoring establish
ments. While the actual number of ma
chimes sold annually during the last ten
or twenty years has not varied greatly.
considering the increase of the popula.
ton, it has proDortionately decreased %
per cent or more.-New York Times.

HER EFFECTIVE METHOD.

Fair Passenger Makes Request for More
Room in the Street Car and Gets 1t.
She was little and meek looking; he
was big and a bully. This was apparent
the moment they entered the ear, says
the Chicago Tribune. The impression
was intensified by the timid way in
which she crowded herself into the
least possible space, while he spread
himself all over. His coat sleeve was
interposed between her face and the
rest of the car, and the skirts of his long
ulster almost covered her lap. The
other passengers supposed them mar
ried us matter of course, and when
the little woman spoke, she might al
most as we'll have fired a bombshell.
Slowly and carefully eXtricating her
self from the folds of his garments, she
gently but decidedly seized his arm,
and lowered it into position which per-
mitted her to see the conductor as he de-
manded his fare. Then she addressed
him quietly, but in ii clear voice, which
was audible all through the car.
81 am afraid l must trouble you a
moment" she said gently. Twill you
kindly ask this gentleman next me to
remove his elbow from my mouth 2"
The conductor stared, the other pas.
sengers laughed, but the ilttle woman
never moved muscle or an eyelash,
and the elbow came down to normal at
titude suddenly.

There are a number of poisons whose
use the body at first endures, though
with considerable protest, but which
finally have the effect of cultivating a
demand for the poison that generally
ends seriously or fatally. Among the
most dangerous of these is morphine,
which appears in many forms of med
icine. The morphine habit is fully as
dangerous as the alcohol habit. The to-
bacco habit, while it does not compare
with the liquor and morphine habits in
the seriousness of it's results, is Of
no benefit, is a great and useless ex.
pense, and is often the direct cause OF
a arrangement of the healthy action Of
the body. It's use has been demonstrated
to be especially dangerous to the young,

TEMPERANCE TlDlNGS.

Fully one-half OF the precincts of the
state of Alabama are prohibitory.
When men begin drinking they gen.
orally stop thinking-Ram's Horn.
Trying to make the world better and
doing nothing to destroy the saloon is
o good deal like trying TO kill snake
by pinching the end of his tail.-Ram's
Horn.
The saloon is the devil and for the
devil; therefore why should not the
church hurl her thunders of eloquence
and power against the saloon.-True
Reform.
The Medical Journal says that the
paper used in many brands of cigar
cites made in England contains arsenic.
When arsenic is inhaled in small guam
titles it causes a chronic cough and
other symptoms usually associated
with consumption.
There are now in America over 400
scandinavian total abstinence societies
with a membership of between $4,000
and 10000. Most of their newspapers
are said by Ole B. Olsen to give space to
temperance work, because of the de-
mand for such news.
God has 165,177 temples and III ,O36
ministers in the country working for
the salvation of man. Satan, or Bac-
chus, has 225,000 temples and 100000
priests for the destruction and damna-
ton of men. The groggeries outnum-
Der the churches, almost two to one,
and there are nearly five times as many
bartenders as ministers. Then %
times as much money is spent every
year for drink as is given for the church
and benevolent purposes in this coun-
try.-Rev. Frank Hungate, Baptist,
