This is a wonderful antique. the
first sewing machine ever made. 1t
was built by Bartholemy Thimon-
Ter, a Frenchman, in 1880, and was
composed entirely of wood. The
needle had a notch instead of an
eye, for the thread to pass through,
and hole was punched by an awl
for the needle to pass through. 1t
produced a single thread stitch.
Sewing by hand was much less Ia
boriOus and quicker.

Bed Tape and Matrimony.

Some of the reasons why a French
mar may not marry are given by n
correspondent of a Paris newspaper.
He has been trying to get married for
three years and has not yet. succeeded.
French marriage law is q tricky thing
to deal with. If the prospective bride
groom has not lived more than six
months at his address at the time of
the marriage he must get a certificate
signed by the landlord and concierge
of every house where he has lived pre-
viously till he gets back to one where
he did live for six months. Birth GER
tifcates are required and the written
consent of parents.
AS no paper must bear a date more
than two months old, 1t often happens
that the marriage must be postponed
to get the papers renewed, The man
who had been foiled for three years
once succeeded in making all his pa
pers correct, when he was called up
for his periodical term of military
service, and this threw his papers out
of date.
Another time he arrived before the
mayor with his bride, but the eere-
mony was not performed, as a certif.
ieate of his first wife's death was not
forthcoming.

SUGGESTION THAT FERRY
BE P DlSPLEASES

Considerable excitement was
| caused in Stapleton this week over
the suggestion that the Budget Com
mittee discontinue the Stapleton
ferry.
Dock Commissioner TOmpkinS
submitted a ten per cent. cut in his
estimate, reducing his appropriation
$4,000 less than last year. Bor-
ough President McAneny at once
suggested that a further reduction
could be had by disseminating the
Stapleton ferry, which Is maintained
at a cost of $4,000 a year. Presl-
dent McAneny's argument for TINS
discontinuanee was based on the old
proposition that the Stapleton ferry
is a competing line with the st.
George ferry. and that it was bad
business for the city to compete
against itself
The prominent organizers of the
Ferry League at Stapleton think
this means at least no increase OF
service at Stapleton during the COM
ing year, even if the ferry is not dis
continued entirely. They point out
the fact that as the ferry is now run
on an hour and a half Roadway, it
neither provides accommodations
for the South Shore o invites en-
ough traffic to make it pay. On the
other hand they contend that if a
reasonable half hour of twenty-min-
ute service was maintained, the fer
ny would soon pay.
The opening of the Stapleton
ferry was made the occasion of great
rejoicing, and was hailed as the be-
ginning of an adequate service. A
good many people are now begin
ming to believe that the demands of
the South Shore were aeceded to by
the Mcclellan administration simply
for a political purpose, and that the
business people of Stspleton were
hoaxed. Whatever may be the feel
ing in New York concerning this
ferry, there a be no doubt that the
business interests of Stapleton are
in earnest, and have mEde a game.

MANS son SUE0
FOR ABSOLUTE DIVORCE

Duncan Even Cameron, of Arroe-
har, is being sued by his wife, Eliz-
abeth b. Cameron, for divorce. She
has applied to the supreme court
for $500 alimony and $1,000
counsel fees. Justice Maddox, be-
fore whom the application was
made, has reserved his decision. The
defendant is a son of the late Sir
Roderick Cameron, for many years
a resident of Staten Island.
The couple were married at Rock
Vile, Md, in November, 1909, and
later went to Washington. Soon af-
ter, the wife alleges, the defendant
left her. She later found him in
New York city.
Counsel for Mr.. Cameron declared
that Mrs. Cameron was responsible
for the trouble that had occurred
since her marriage. He said she
was addicted to the use of drugs and
that her condition was such that she
should be placed inFa sanitarium.
Mrs. Cameron was in court, but
showed no more than a casual inter-
est in the statements made by her
lawyer.
