More Civil Lawsuits Here Than In Any
Other Country In the world.

A man of ingenious mind and appar
emily ample leisure has gone 20 the
trouble of figuring out the number uf
lawsuits brought in each country in
year, and he has reached the conclusion
that the United States is better count
try for attorneys and counselors than any
other civilized land under the sun. He
figures as lawsuits civil actions only,
taking into no account proceedings of q
criminal character brought by the pub
lie authorities against individuals. He
has ascertained that, taking the figures
for the last ten years as fair average,
there are 1850, 900 lawsuits brought in
England every year, 700, in France,
l,400,0 in Italy, $4,000 in Ger
many and 5,500,000 in the United
States.
1t is not TO be inferred from this that
the people Of one country are much more
promo to litigation than are the people
of another, but the explanation is TO be
found in the fact that the conditions of
litigation vary exceedingly. Going to
law in England is very expensive bust
ness, for it entails outlays in the form
of costs and expenses so largo that many
of the courts are practically closed to
persons Of modest means, and long
litigation unsuccessfully pursued ends
Gsten in bankruptcy, In Franco the
number of lawsuits is kept down through
tho general practice of arbitration,
as many as 100, 900 cases in year,
especially those arising from disputes
over wages, being settled by this agency
without onerous cost TO either party. In
Germany great majority Of cases are
petty ones, involving small amount Of
money and due, many of them, TO GUS
toms or usagos which arc not sufficiently
defined TO be, in all cases, similarly un-
derstood by both parties to an agree
ment This is especially the case in the
farming districts Of Germany, and there
are many legal disputes in tho manu-
featuring districts too.
Tho number Of cases credited TO The
United States seems enormous, but it
is probably accurate. There are, for ex-
ample, II district courts for the disposal
Of civil cases in Now York city. In one
of these courts, by recent report, the
number of actions brought in year
was shown TO be D, 100. These courts
have before them each year, on the
average, 10, 900 cases. The cases brought
in the state courts of New York amount
in n year to about $50, 200, and of those
brought in tho federal courts New York
furnishes very large number. Taking
the whole country through, it is seer
that the average number of cases PEI
thousand of population is in the neigh
borhood Of 20 to SO. The number OF
lawyers in tho United States is material
ly larger than in any other country il
the world, and the amounts in dispute
here arc much greater than elsewhere

When She Hides tho Key.

II is singular instance of the sim

the entire good faith in which the coun-

other member Of the family. As a mat
ter Of course, she tucks it away under

other woman in the place does precisely
the same thing, and perhaps every

that is one place that any student of her
human nature who had burglarious in

house by simply lifting the door mat.

The Cost Of the Atlantic Cable.

Running an Atlantic cable seems to
be an expensive business. From an arti-
Gle ON the Commercial Cable company's
station at Hazel Hill, MS, in The Wind
sor Magazine we learn that the cables
average $l,2 per mile, and the ex-
penses Of executive management amount
to about $50, 900 per annum. Repairing
expeditions ara ruinous; S175, 900 was
sunk in one expedition that failed. The
repairing ship costs 5000, 900, and often
absorbs So, 800 per month to maintain
her ready for sea at moments notice.

company $4,000 and three months
tedious negotiations. The company got

Argentinc's Capital Ii the Queen OF the
Southern Uemlsphere.

Argentine,s Capital Is the Queen OF the
Southern Hemisphere.
The omnisciont Whitaker, under the
heading British Possessions In Aus
tralasia," states that Melbourne, with
its suburbs, contained ON Dec. 81, 1894,
an estimated population of 444, ,S32 in
habitants, "being the most populous
city in the southern hemisphere" We
have always understood Rio de Janeiro
and Buenos Ayres to be also in the
southern hemisphere, and, oddly enough,
Whitaker himself gives larger figures
for both of these cities than for Mol
bourne. Tho remark is probably one
that has been at some time true and has
been carried ON from year to year.
In any case, the results Of the census
establish incontestably the claim of
Buenos Ayres to be the greatest city Of
South America and of the southern
hemisphere. With allowance for imper-
fections in the execution Of the census,
inseparable from the way in which it
was carried out, tho figure 655, GSS may
be taken as practically correct, and no
other city in this half of the world can
lay claim to possessing within 100. 900
of this number Of inhabitants.
The population of Buenos Ayres is
thus larger than that Of any city Of the
United Kingdom, except London and
Glasgow. 1t is considerably larger than
that of Liverpool or Birmingham, and
it is only about $4,000 less than the
combined populations Of Manchester and
Stafford. OF the great cities of Europe
only Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Peters
burg, Constantinople and Moscow sur
pass Buenos Ayres, and in North Amer
lea only New York, Brooklyn, Chicago
and Philadelphia. Our city is the second
city of the Latin world, surprising Mad
rid, Naples and Rome in Europe and
Rio Janeiro, Santiago, Lima and Mex
leo in the new world. The rate Of
growth is no less remarkable than the
actual size, for in the last eight years
Buenos Ayres has increased about 90
per cent. .-Buenos Ayres Review.

The dentist didn't want to talk shop,
he said, but he thought tho story worth

came to New York, and one evening
was invited to dine with some of his
friends here. Tho dinner was particu-
larly jolly affair, and when the western
man reached his hotel he was in mer-
~ mood. IL was his custom TO place his
vet of false teeth under the pillow every
night just before going to bed, aud ho
was certain he had done SO on this par

Water Wheels.

The point is made by writer in one

is, from an economical aspect, the too
often entire absence Of engineering skill

cheney We're it properly controlled and
had the turbine been selected because of
its adaptability to the conditions and
been properly set. On their introduce
tion, he remarks, turbines We're used
singly, but now they are used either
singly or in sets of two or three or more,
as eXpedient, and in batteries of sets /;
by the use, too, of iron or steel pen
stocks and feed pipes the expense of in
stalling has been largely reduced and
far greater economy in the use Of water
secured; the growing demand for large
units Of power has also been satisfied,
so that whereas q few years back n 500
horsepower turbine was almost unheard
of, turbines of 5000 horsepower are
now employed.

passions are trained to come to halt by
n vigorous will, the servant Of tender
