PATENTS! Mazurka Hongroise. NOTICE TO INVENTORS. There wae never a time In tbe history of oar coantry when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arte and sciences generally was so great as now. The conveniences of mpjkind in the factory and workshop, the household and on the farm, as well as in official life, require continual accessions to tbe appurtenance and impliments of each in order to save labor, time aud expense. The political change in the administra tion of government does not affect tbe progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter bim from quickly oouoeiving the remedy to overoome existing discrepan cies. Too great care cannot be exer cised in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and proseoute an application for patent. Valuable in terests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instances by the employ ment of incompetent counsel, and es pecially is this advice applicable to those who adopt tbe "No patent, no pay" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this olass of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager 618 F street, N. W., Washington, D. 0., representing a large number of impor tant daily and weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the eonntry, was in stituted to Droteot its natrons from the unsafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business. The said Con pany is prepared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for rea sonable fees, and prepare and proseoute applications generally, inoluding me chanical inventions, design patents, trade-marks, labels, copyrights, interfer ences, infringements, validity reports, and gives especial attenion to rejected cases, it is also prepared to ent9r into competition with any firm in securing foreign patents.

Dr. Swayne & Son, Philadelphia, Japanese Halrriresslng. One of the joy s of the Japanese wom an's life, which Sir Edwin Arnold has failed to dwell upon, is her hairdress ing, although he mentions the result, admiringly. The ordinary Japanese woman has her hair dressed twice a week. First, the assistant hairdresser comes and oils the locks with camellia or seasum oil; then the principal ar rives and spends nearly an hour in piling up her hair so that it will indi cate the caste and age of the woman and whether she is "maid, wife or widow." For all that is expressed by the arrangement of the locks in Japan. The women sleep upon neck blocks, carefully hollowed out so that the hair may remain undisturbed all night. For ladies of high degree these blocks are beautifully lacquered and deco rated. They generally have a little drawer into which the superfluous ornaments can be put at night. TO LIFT NAPLEST An Italian Eng-tneer Would Construct an Elevated Railway There. If the scheme elaborated by an Ital ian engineer for the construction of an elevated railway in Naples is car ried into execution Italy will, accord ing to the Electrical Review, possess one of the most remarkable structures in the world. As far as length is con cerned the projected line is not of great importance, but the boldness of the idea and its originality are strik ing. Let the imagination conceive the hilly portion of a town connected by meaus of viaducts and towers, with that part lying at a low level, and the substance of A. Avena's project will ' then be readily understood. The hand- some and populous part of Naples, j radiating from Via Koma, has only I communication with the Corso Vit- ! torio Kmmanuele, the San Martino i hill, and the (at a still higher level) i new Rione del Vomero by means of j narrow, tortuous street' manv of ' them being impracticable for carriage traffic- It is between these two ex treme localities that the proposed ele vated railway is to form a connection' The line is to be carried on two metal lic viaducts, each divided so as to f.ir.n a double way, one for the operation of electric cars and the other for pedes trians. A masonry tower SOS feet high is to be built in the Via Roma, and TltlO. "For Years,'5 Says Cabkie E. Stockwbll, ol Chester Held, N. II., " I was afflicted with an extremely severe pain in the lower part ot the chest. The fueling was a) if a ton weight was laid uu a spot the size ot my hand. Dur ing the attacks, the pui'.spii'a'lon would stand in drops on my face, and it was I agony for nie to ' make s ufticien t effort even to whis per. They came suddenly, at any hour of 'the day or night, lasting from thirty minutes to half a day, leaving as suddenly; hut, for several days after, I was quite pros trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks were almost daily, then less frequent. A fter about four years of this suffering. I was taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and when I began to recover, I had the worst attack of my old trouble I ever expcrlenaed. At the first of the fever, my mother gave me Ayer'a Pills, my doctor rectimmemihig them as being better than anything he could prepare. I continued taking these Pills, and so great was the benefit derived that during nearly thirty years I have had but one attack of my former trouble, which yielded readily to the same remedy." AYER'S PILLS Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co, Lowell, Ma Every Dose Effective from this the first viaduct, 1,180 feet long, will be carried to the Corso Vit torio Emmanuele, where it will termi nate in the base of a metallic tower 490 feet in height. The second via duct, 950 feet long and branching out of this tower some distance below the summit, will pass over the San Mar tino hill and end in the ground level at the new Rione del Vomero. The viaducts will be carried on pyramidical metallic towers having masonry loun dations; and the masonry tower at the beginning of the first viaduct and the metallic tower, connecting the two viaducts, will each be provided with staircases and capacious lifts for conveying passengers up and down. Passengers entering the cars at either end of the line will not be compelled to change their seats on arriving at the metallic tower, as the cars will be au tomatically placed on the lifts for as cending or descending from the high est viaduct, when the cars will con tinue their way to cither terminus. Generating stations will be provided at each terminus for producing current for lighting and power purposes. The undertaking, a concession for which has been granted, would provide a splendid view of the whole of Naples. A Japanese uirt ot tue Period. Another incontestable proof of the rapid advance of the Japanese in civil ization of the west is the following1 advertisement, which appeared In Tokio paper recently: "A young lady wishes to get married. She is very beautiful. has a rosy face, which is sur rounded by dark curly hair. Her eye brows show the. form of the half moon, and the mouth is small and pretty.
