"The Silver Truss is light, clean and comfortable to wear, and can be easily put on or off; in fact, it is simplicity "The Silver Truss, from its adaptabil ity, peculiarity of shape, and mode of application, adjusts itself to every pos ture of the body without displacement, and is worn with comfort." From Clin ical Lecture by Iiichard Davy. F. II. S. E., Surgeon to Westminster Hospital. "The rapid introduction of the Amer ican Silver Truss, and subsequent, sale of them with gratifying success by the druggists, have demonstrated the fulfill ment of all claims made for them by the company. They are, unquestionably, the neatest, lightest, cleanest and most easily adjusted truss of any on the mar ket, and almost every druggist who has Btocked this truss pronounces it to be the truss of the future." "Tho wenrer of a truss Is always looking for some thing better, and it U, therefore, an cbhv mutter to commund attention when tho American Silver Truss in brought to tho notice of a prospective buyer. It 1h light and simple, made of one continuous piece of metal, without nut, screws or rivets, and can bo formed by tho hand to tho exact shape of tho body, and when placed In position does not movo." "Dr. J. A.

A man of ingenious mint! mid upper PTitly ampin leisure litis pine In the tl'ouhlo of figuring out tin; Hl'lnlier of lawsuits brought in each country in a yivir, nml hp 1ms reuclHil the conclusion that tho United States is n better cnim try for attorneys and counselors tliim liny nther rivilzed land under tho sun. Ho llgnros an lawsuits civil notions only, taking into no iieeonnt proceeding of n rriminnl rhuiaetor brought by the pub lic authorities against individuals. Uo lias ascertained that, taking tlm fltinn for tho Inst ten years us a fair average, thero aro 1,850,000 lawsuits brought In Kngland every year, 780,000 In Franco, 1,. 100,000 in" Italy, 8,:i00,ooo inder tnany nud 0,500,000 in the United States. It is not to bo inferred from this that tho people of mo country arc much more prono to litigation than urn tho peoplo of another, but tho explanation is to h found in tho fnet that, the conditions of litigation vary exceedingly, (ruing to law in l'.nglaud is very expensive busi ness, for it entails outlays in tho form of co'itsnnd expenses so largo that many of tho courts aro praet lea lly closed to persons of modest menus, and n long litigation unsuccessfully pursued ends BUcn in bankruptcy. In Franco tho number of lawsuits is kept down through tho general praotieo of "arbitration," as many as loo, ono cases in a yenr, especially thoso arising from dispute over weges, being settled by this ugciun without onerous cost to cither party. In Germany a majority of cases nro petty ones, involving a small niuniint i f money and duo, ninny of them, to cus toms or usages which nro not sulllciently defined to lip, in all cases, similiu'ly un derstood by both parties to im ugioo ment. This is especially thooiiso in the farming distrlctsnf (reriniiny, nnd thero aro many legal disputes in tho manu facturing districts too. Tho number of cases credited to the United States seems enormous, but it is probably accurate Thero nro, for ox ample, 11 district courts for tliuilispos.il of civil enses in New Yorlc city. In ono of tlieso courts, by recent report, tho number of actions brought ill a year was shown to bo 9,100. These courts hnvo beforo them each year, on tho avorago, 75,000 cases. Tho cases brought in tho state courts of Now York amount in a year to about 150,000, and of those brought in tho federal courts New York furnishes a very largo number. Taking tho whole couuiry throng) it is seen that tho average number of cases per thousand of population is in tho neigh borhood of 75 to 85. The number of lnwyers in tho United States is material ly larger than in any other country in tho world, nnd tho amounts in dispute hero nro much creator than olsowhere. Now York Sun. BUENOS AYRES. A rf inline' Capital Is tho Queen of tlir Houlhern llemliihvre. Tho omniscient Whitakor, under tho heading "British Possessions In Aus tralasia," states that Melbourne, with its sulmrbs, contained on Deo. 81, 180-1, an estimated population uf 41 1,8112 in habitant, "bein tho most populous city in tho southern lsiulsphero. " Wo havo alwnys understood Kio do Janeiro and Buonos Ayrcs to bo also in tho southern hemisphere, anil, oddly enough, Whitaker himi.eU' Rives larger figures for both of theso cities than for Mel bonrno. Tho remark is probably ono that has been at somo time true and has been carried on from yenr to year. In any case, tho results of tho census establish incontestably the claim of Bucuos Ayrcs to bo the greutont city of South America and of tho southern hemisphere With nllownnco for imper fections in tho execution of the census, inseparable from tho way in which it was carried out, tho figuro 055,088 may bo taken as practically correct, and uo other city iu thin half of the world can lay claim to possessing within 100,000 of this number of inhabitants. Tho population of Buenos Ayres is thus larger than tliut of any city of the United Kingdom, except Loudon and Glasgow. It is considerably larger than that of Liverpool or Birmingham, and it is only about 00,000 loss thou the combined populations of Manchester and Sulfurd. Of tho great cities of Europe only Pnris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Potorg' burg, Constantinople and Moscow sur pass Buenos Ayres, and iu North Amer ica only Now York, Brooklyn, Chicago and Philadelphia. Our city is the second city of the Latin world, surpassing Mud rid, Naples and Rome iu Europe and Rio Janeiro, Santiago, Lima anil Mex ico in the now world. Tho ruto of growth is uo less remarkable than tho actual sizo, for iu tho last eight yours Buenos Ayros has increased about CO por cent. Bucuos Ayres Review. New York's Itlvvr Tuuntil.

"Not long ago," lio said, "a western railroad president tamo to New York, anil ono evening was invited to diiio with somo of his friends hero. Tho dinner whs a particu larly Jolly affair, and when tho western man readied his hotel he was in a mer ry Mood. It was his custom to place bis let of falso teeth under tho pillow every liigl.t just before going to bed, ami bo was certain ho hud done so on this par ticular evening. Nevertheless in tho morning ho was nimble to find them. Scutching high and low in thu room was of no avail, anil dually bo eaniii to mo for a new set. " 'How long will it take you to make them?' ho asked. I told hint four or live days. 'Can't listen to anything liko that,' ho replied. 'I'll givo you triple money to mtiko them in 31 Imuiu ' You see people from Chicago think Hint money laughs at everything, even timo. "All my arguing with tho old fellow did no good, so I set to work on his teeth. In the iiiciiutinio, however, I told my assistant to hasten around to tho old man's hotel and luako nscicutillcHriirch of his room. Tho westerner insisted Unit, ho had drunk no more wino Hum usual nt tho dinner, but I was futisllcil that ho was deceiving himself. I hud not been long at tho preliminary mens tivei'ienls when my assistant culled mo out and handed mo the teeth. Ho luel found them iu tho pillowcase, where the owner had put them instead of un der the pillow. "I returned the teeth and the railroad mi.n was so overjoyed that, ho did not cancel tho order, but told mo to go ahead with tho teeth. They might comu in handy somo timo, ho said. Mo even unbent so far as to iidmit that perhaps, after nil, lie hud drunk a glass of wino too much tho night before, and when I sent him my bill I received a check fi r double the amount from him.

As lio throw himsolf back into tho rmbraoo of tho cushioned chair of u Union square barber shop lio scowled llurcely at tho burlier and buried his fuco in tho newspaper. But tho barber didn't mind tho ugly opening-. lb) leaned over, garrotcd tho tnnsuvial pa tient with a towel mid painted his face with lather. When lio had llipllupprd a rnzor onco or twico nlong tho strop ho began mildly: "Nico day, sir." "Oh, is it?" answered tho other. Tho barber looked startled, but he tried again. "Paper says we'ro going to havo nico weather now." "Thanks," wus tho answer, "I laiow how to rcud myself. " At this iibntf tho barber kept si lence. But l:o shaved against the grain, tweaked the other's iiofo and daubi.d soap into tho corner of his mouth. Tin gruff man sworo softly, tho barber smiled, and as a final net of violence grablicd tho other by tho top of tho sculp and twisted his head until tho cervical vertehiiu creaked again. "Suy," cried tho gruff mini, "my head ain't no roulctto wheel. " But still tho barber shaved on in si lence. Ho shaved mid shaved, scraping the tdiiu so close that it showed ragged under tho blade. Then, loaning over, ho grabbed a handful of raw and teude skin and rolled it between his Angers until tho other groaned ulond. As the tour drops stole down tho scarified face tho barber administered tho final taunt: "Do you sliavo yourself, sir?" "No," roared the gruff uuui, leaping up iu the chuir, "I shave my grand mother and sister's nieces." Then ho buried his fuco in tho paper nnd the barber smiled and smiled and smiled, while ho rubbed iilnm into tho soro spots on the victim's chin. New York World. Water Wheels. The point is nindo by a writer in one of the mechanical journals that the greatest obstacle now encountered in the successful operation of water wheels is, from an economical aspect, the too often eutiro iibsouco of engineering skill in utilizing the power, and that many a water power would develop greater effi ciency were it properly controlled and had the turbine been selected because of its adaptability to tho conditions and been proisirly sot On their introduc tion , he remarks, turbines wore used singly, but now they are used oitlior singly or in sets of two or threo or uioro, as expedient, and in batteries of sots ; by the use, too, of iron or steel pen stocks and feed piicB the expense of in stalling lias been hu gely reduced and fur greater economy iu tho use of water secured ; the growing demand for large units of power hus also been satisfiod, so that whereas a row years buck n D00 horsopower turbino wus almost unheard of, turbines of 6,000 horsepower are now employed.

If any of our renders, in looking o articles on oleetrle railways iu tho tier man lnugnugc, shonld come across tho word sliasseubahnwagenuntergestello, thoyneeil not boiilarmed or discouraged nor bo nfruld to use it in good society.
