The first real practical sewing ma chine was patented by Ritas Howe, of Spencer, Mesa, slaty-six yesrs ago today.

Thlrmonier was not discouraged: by the near-tragedy, however, and kept an until ha got hie machine patented both In rraaoe and Oreat Britain. The machine, which waa entirely of metal, was A de- elded improvement on the first one, and promised great things,' but a conspiracy of untoward circumstances blsated ths Inventor's prospects, snd ha died un friended snd unrewarded. Then It waa that Howe, apparently quite uacenecloue of what had baea dona by other, began thinking af tha ma chine which he succeeded la patenting' In MM. But again the plural character of tba honors of ths treat Inventor appears The twa moot Important features of tho Howa machine the curved eye-pointed needle and tha underthread shuttle, without which his Invention would have been am Improvement upon the machines that had gone before It were Invented by Walter Hunt twelve years prevtounlv.
