With Fingers Only.

The Japanese dentist scorns to use
anything but his fingers when extract
ing a tooth. This is how he is trained:
He is first taught to acquire strength
by pulling out, with the finger and
thumb of his right hand, number of
wooden pegs which have been inserted
into holes in a plank. Then tougher
log with tougher pegs is tried, and he
is kept at this for a year. After that
he operates on a slab of marble, which
contains pegs of the hardest wood deep
ly driven in. Then he is qualified to
go into business. A good workman will
seize a patient with E3s left hand, and
draw out five or six teeth with his
right without stopping to rest. Impos-
sible though it may sound, yet long
continued practice makes it easy.

MARCONI TAKES WIFE
INVENTOR OF WIRELESS TELEG.
RAPHY MARRIED.
Lady Beatrice o'Brien, OF Royal Irish
Family, the Bride-Bridegroom
Once Engaged to an In
diana Girl.

London.-After having been report
ed engaged to score OF women IN va
rious parts OF the world, Guglielmo
Marconi, the inventor Of wireless
telegraphy, has at last been joined in
the holy bonds OF wedlock. Lady
Beatrice O'Brien, daughter OF Lazy
lnchiquin, was the bride.
One of the Chevalier Marconis CHIEF
worries in the past was the constant
variety Of girls to whom the neWsla-
pers engaged him to be married. En-
cepting the German crown prince ana
the king Of Spain, the genius OF WIRE
less telegraphy probably was be-
trothed by rumor oftener than any
man living. Marconi was engaged to
Miss Josephine Holman, OF Indiana, at
one time, but the engagement was
broken because OF his alleged atten-
tons to Lulu CHASER. Then 1t was re-
ported that he was engaged to Miss
Nina McGillivray, but she said it was
only a summer Irritation. Dame Ru-
NOR next connected his name with
that of Princess Giarcinta Ruspoli.
Marconi met his future bride year
ago when staying at Lord Dunrayen's
house, near Limerick. She is bright,
comely, but somewhat rustic looking
girl, fond Of outdoor sports, and is also
we'll read. She can boast royal pedi'
gree, too. She is one OF the eight SIS
ters-all good looking-of the fifteenth
Baron Inchiquin, and can claim de-
scent from the famous Irish monarch,
Baron Baroihome, who was king OF
the Emerald isle from 1902 to 1014,
when he was slain at the head of his
army at the battle of Clontarf. His
! grandson, Turlogh, king Of Munster
had four sons, whereof the third was
the progenitor of the Barons 1nchi-
| quin. One of Turloghs descendants,
; Conner O'Bryan, was king of Thor
mond at so comparatively recent Pc
riod as 1929, and it was his brother
Murrough, who after usurping his
l1ingship surrendered to Henry WILL,

ing and a paid-up policy which will
carry them we'll through the Christmas
season. A dividend is also declared
in the summer excursion period.
This idea is that of John r. Hege-
man, the president of life insurance
society. Mr.. .Hegeman lives at Mama
roneck, and nearly every Sunday he
drives over to New Rochelle to at
tend services in Salem church. He
recognized the needs of the Sunday
school, and advised that the pupils
actively interest themselves in the
school by inducing others to attend.
He accordingly designed a button,
which is about the size of 25-cent
piece. The ground is light blue.
and it bears upon the face a picture
of the church. Above the steeple IS
the legend: II am a member of the
Salem Baptist Sunday school," and
under the foundation is inscribed:
won't you join u.s."
1t is against the rule for the pupil
solicitors to take anyone from other
companies of believers. Those who
have made arrangements with other
Sunday schools are not approached
upon the subject at all.
All who are interested in the scheme
speak Of it with enthusiasm, and it is
predicted that the school will soon
outgrow its present quarters.

baroncy.
A century later the baronetcy de-
veloped into an earldom, the fifth hold
er Of which saw it converted into a
marquisate-that of Thormond-which
died, however, with the third holder,
while the other titles became dormant.
It was Sir Lucius O'Brien, fifth baronet

favor the claim to the Inchiquin
barony was made good little over 40
years ago, and his son was the ia

there is certain appropriateness in
Marconi's choice of an Irish woman
for his wife, for his mother was OF
that nationality, although, as every
body knows, his father was an Italian,
and he was born in Italy.
Upwards of 500 presents were re-

costly collection Of jewels, and u1-
usual public interest was evinced in
the affair.

the bride and bridegroom will sail for
a six weeks stay in America, going on
their return to Italy as guests of the
king.
