Palestine violin.

The rebab of Palestine is sort of
violin. The body is a square frame
covered with parchment. The instru-
ment is played with bow. There is
but one string, a thick, coarse horse
hair, but expert performers can, it is
said, get considerable variety of tone
from this primitive instrument.

PUTTING IT STRONG
But Doesn't 1t Look Reasonable

This may read as though we were put ting 1t little strong, because it is gen. orally thought by the majority of people that Dyspepsia in its chronic form is in- curable or practically so. But We have long since shown that Dyspepsia is cura ble, nor is it such a difficult matter as at first appears.
 The trouble with Dyspeptics is that they are continually dieting. starving them selves, or going to opposite extreme or else deluging the already over burdened stomach with "bitters," after dinner pills. etc, which invariable increase the dltflculty even if in some cases they do give slight temporary relief Such treatment of the stomach simply makes matters worse. What the stomach wants Is rest Now how can the stomach be- come rested. recuperated and at the same time the body nourished and sustained?
 This is a great secret and this is also the secret of the uniform success of Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a com paratively new remedy, but its success and popularity leaves nd doubt as to its merit
 The Tablets will digest the food any way, regardless of condition of stomach.
 The sufferer from Dyspepsia according to directions. is to eat an abundance of good wholesome food and use the tablets oChNAO hiIu after edCn meal ana the result will be that the food will be digested, no matter how bad your Dyspepsia may be. because. as before stated, the tablets will digest the food even if the stomach Is wholly inactive. To illustrate our mean ing plainly, If you take 1900 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary food and place 1t In temperature of 9S degrees, and put with 1t one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, 1t will digest the meat or eggs almost as per- 'ectly as if the meat was enclosed within the stomach
 The stomach may be ever so weak yet these tablets will perform the work of digestion and the body and brain will be properly nourlshed and at the same time a radical. lasting cure of Dyspepsia will be made because the much abused stom- ach will be given, to some extent, a much needed rest. Your druggist will tell you that of all the many remedies advertised to cure Dyspepsia, none of them have | given so complete and general satisfac- ton as Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not least in importance in these hard times is the fact that they are also the cheapest and give the most good for the least money.

N. [. STEELE APPOINTED
GOES AS ASSISTANT DISTRICT
 ATTORNEY.
Chief Clerk in Office of United States Marshal Selected as Assistant to Judge Roulhac-1s c
 Republican.

N. L. Steele, Chief Clerk in the omce of United States Marshal l.. J. Bryan in Montgomery. yesterday at noon re- ceived a telegram from Attorney General Knox notifying him of his appointment as First Assistant District Attorney of the Northern District of Alabama.
 MT. Steele will leave this morning for Birmingham. where he will at once as- sume his new duties, the court now be- ing in session.
 The newly appointed Assistant District Attorney has rendered his resignation to Marshal Bryan. The resignation will be formally accepted as soon as MT. Steele is sworn into his new office.
 There were said to be over seventy ap- plicants for the position made vacant by the resignation of Assistant District At torney Davidson. which followed the Vaughn shake up and the appointment of Judge T. R. Roulhac to be District Attorney.
 It is understood that few days after District Attorney Roulhac was sworn into his office, he selected MT. Steele as his assistant and forwarded the appoint ment to Washington for co~frmation. There a fight was waged on l.. appoint ment on account of MT. Steele having been Secretary of the lily white conven- ton at Birmingham. It Is said that the most prominent negroes and old line Re- publicans in Alabama fought the ap- pointment bitterly.
 The first intimation received by MT. Steele of his appointment was from the office of Judge Roulhac. Later he re- ceived several messages of congratula- ton and last of all the official telegram from the Attorney General.
 MT. Steele said last night that he had been expecting his appointment for sew eral weeks and although he knew that his appointment was being fought he nev- es feared of his not getting the plum
 Mir Steele Is a native Alabamian, hav- ing been born in Madison County. He practiced law for several years in Hunts vile. Mir Steele has been in the ofhce of Marshal Bryan ever since that ofhcial was appointed, and was regarded as an efficient official He is popular with all classes in Montgomery and yesterday re- ceived congratulations of many friends. MT. Steele has always been a Republican.
 It is understood that there are already a number of applicants for the position made vacant by Mir. Steele Applications it is said have come in from all parts of Alabama.
 The consensus of opinion around the government building yesterday was that a Montgomery man. Moses Stuart, now office deputy in the Marshars office. would be the appointee. The appointment will be made within few days.

ORIENTAL DISEASES.
NubonAc Plague and Leprosy are Get ting e Foothold on This Continent.

a 9 Springfield Republican.
 Modern improvements in transportation of freight and human beings and sxpan- sion threaten us with all the most ter rible epidemic diseases of the orient. Quarantine regulations cannot be too comprehensive or too strictly enforced, especially as the United States trades with countries where little or no regard is given to proper quarantine. In this connection may well be noted the situa- tion in regard to the bubonic plague, which, 1t is alleged, has obtained a foot hold in San Francisco. The local author attes point to the low number of deaths as evidence that the cases in question were not the plague. Many State boards of health are threatening to declare a quarantine against California unless more aggressive measures be taken by San Francisco. The Los Anegeles Times says:
 '7f the Federal health authorities take hold of this matter, as they appear to contemplate doing. they will no doubt make short work of 1t. They are not giv- en to trifing in such matters. But how much better it would have been If the Governor and the local health authorities had recognized, at the, outset. this disa- sreeable fact that the plague existed in San Francisco and had heartily cooper ated with the Federal authorities in stamping out the disease. There never has been the shadow of an excuse for taking any different action The opposi- ton, to the national health authorities by Governor Gage and others was an ex- hibtfion of unmttdgated folly. which has brought ridtcuie and reproach upon the State of California"
 Canada appears to be a fruitful nursery of several world scourges, such as small pox and leprosy. She has let down the bars to Asiatic invasion. pr. Albert s. Ashmead of New York, writes to The Mail and Express, referring to a recent editorial In that paper, 'The Back Door Canada centers of leprosy constantly menace us, and points out these places of infection:
 "A Scotch-Irish one in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. & Chinese and Japanese center in British Columbia and the Fra ser River country, and an Icelandic and Norwegian one about Winnipeg and Man atoba- In letter which I wrote to his excellency, the Governor General of the Dominion of Canada, I mentioned these matters and called his attention to the danger of the establishment of these oen- ters to our own States of Washington, the Dakotas and Minnesota. These facts. said in my letter, will show your excellency that the Dominion, if not as much interested now in the question of suppression of leprosy. Is very much in- terested in the prevention of the disease by keeping out of its limits the hordes of infected Chinese and Japanese

WHERE WOMEN ARE RULERS
African Tribe in Which Men Are
 Held in Proper Subiupation.

At least one spot on the earth exists where woman have their rights to the fullest extent. This haven of advanced women Is in darkest Africa, but the plan is worthy of a more enlightened land First. the women work hard. but they have compensations not always enjoyed in a civilized community.
 The men, on the other hand are idle. but the house and all 1t contains belong to the wife
 At the least unkind word she turns the husband out at night-in storm or rain and he cannot come back until he make amends by the gift of a cow The wife considers it duty to abuse the husband and if she were weak enough to show any love for him in life or grief at his death. she would be scorned by her tribe. The wife, without any reason, may strike her tent and go. taking with her one-third of the joint possessions. The husband unless he is travelling. may not live out of his tent.

MORE CASES NoL-PRosSED.
Young Lawyer Was Charged Wit
 Forgery.

Two cases of forgery against David P. Moore, a young attorney of the Montgom- cry bar were mol pressed yesterday after noon by the Montgomery City Court.
 The evidence had been entered into. when a flaw in the indictment was found. The special solicitor then asked the court to enter a nol-prosse Judge w. H. Thomas so ordered 1t.
 Moore was charged with raising the face value of note and figures on a mort gage. He said last night that he re- gretted that the court did not go into the merits of the case, as he was satisfied. he would have been vindicated by the jury.
 Moore alleges that the prosecution was malicious.
 The following cases were also tried yes- terday:
