 In May, 1877, Strong patented his model, which consisted of an electric speaking telephone, a permanent magnet in a coil of insulated wire with a metal dia-
 phragm. In the meantime, in 1876. the Bell company had secured a patent on an instrument which had been invented in the same year Strong's patent infringed
 theirs in no way, as the principle on
 which the Bell telephone operated in- volved the use of an electro-ma gnet.
 while the Strong instrument was con- nected with a permanent magnet.
 In September, 1S77 there was a fire in the United States patent office. At some time between May and September the Strong model disappeared. In December. 1877. the Bell Telephone company put in commercial use model which bears a striking resemblance to the Strong.

would be a monstrosity. Some years ago Italians in this country used to send to Italy for their wives. Nowadays they are marrying more and more the Ameri- canized Italian girls of the colony, al- though the custom of importing the bride still pevails to some extent.
 Love and live" is the motto of the Latin quarter. Those who have followed its decree have worn away an inch or two from the solid stone steps of the Baxter street edifce of worship and mGtrimony. The worn steps also bear witness of those who go to see. In the Italian world for three successive Sun days the banns are given from the pull pit. and by this means the entire colony keeps tab on the brides. and it is no doubt due to this foreknowledge that few marriages are solemnized without the church being at least half-filled.
 The Italian girl has much easier time with her rousseau than has her Amer ican sister. for 1t Is the duty of the Italian bridegroom to furnish both the wedding dress and the going-away gown. As the conventional honeymoon and go-

ing-away custom has not yet come in style with the Italians, the latter dress is worn on the first public appearance of the bride after the wedding. The only other place on the American continent where the bridegroom furnishes the we'd ing outfit is among the Zuni Indians, where the man weaves it. The wedding dress of the Italian bride is almost in- yariably of white satin or silk, the quail ity and number of yards used being reg ulated by the financial state of the groom. Orange-hlossoms of wax are al- ways in evidence. and the bride carries bouquet of fresh white flowers In ad- dition to the wedding gown, it is in- cumbent upon the Italian bridegroom who wishes to do the correct thing to be- stow upon the bride certain jewelry. Aside from the regulation ring she gen erally receives a watch and chain, a brooch and a pair of earrings.
 The ceremony over, carriages convey the party from the church to the house or hall where the celebration is to be held. A hall is generally hired for few hours or for the evening. and this Is the

 In one of the popular churches on Bax- ter street in the center of the downtown Italian colony, the marriage record reach ed the startling proportion of from twen- ty to thirty day, and more on Sundays during the early spring months. The summer Is comparatively marriageless, but during the last of October and the months following until the new year the record reaches its zenith again.
 The Italian believes in love, and he also believes in early marriages. Many of the girls put on the veil and orange-nlos- soms when only fourteen years old. With the Italian, marriage is a duty. There is an old saying that an unmarried man is no man. Single women are absolutely unknown.

ONLY n SUGGESTION.
But ii Has Proven OF Interest ana
Value to Thousands

Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fleshy and plump
1t can onlv result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be
albuminous or flesh-forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak. and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that makes
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach. from abuse and oVerwork
does not properly digest and assimilate
it, which is the reason SO many people
remain thin and under weight; the
digestive organs do not completely di-
gest the fleSh-forming beekSteak eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who
are really confirmed dyspeptics, al
though they may have no particular
pain or Inconvenience from their
stomachs.
If such persons would lay their pre-
JUDGES aside and make a regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one or
two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets con-
tain the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to reach it's natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every kind of flesh-forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dys-
peptic men, wOmen and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked bene-
fit as they contain no strong, irritat-
ing drugs, no cathartic nor any harm
full ingredients.
Stuart's Dyspeptic Tablets are the
most successful and most widely known
of any remedy for stomach troubles
because they are the most reasonable
and scientific of modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as well as Great Britain,
at so cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required to cure
any stomach trouble or to make thin,
nervous. dyspeptic people strong,
plump and we'll.

who is accorded the privilege of dis
pensing patronage without question by
State Chairman Rollins in his home
town, is said TO have endorsed the
appointment of Mrs. Henderson, which
makes it a go. The report is that MIR.
Henderson's habits were such that
there was danger of his being remov-
ed, and as he has great political in
fiuence and has been the answering
friend and partisan of Congressman
Blackburn in his fight against the So
called kid glove" perpetual office
holding element in his party organi-
zation, the eXpedicnt of naming Mrs.
Henderson was resorted to. This lady,
it is generally said. has already been
doing the work of late and in Il most
sfactory manner.
What office Mr.. Henderson will next
get is problematical, but that he will
hold something seems to be generally
conceded. He is "a whole-souled, rough
and-ready kind of a fellow, who never
stays in private life long, because, UNI
