Physicians soon saw the necessity Of cut

The operation left an abscess which all the
skill Of English and French physicians
failed TO heal Those who knew him best
describe him as the soul Of honor and man

crate, but decisive in his actions and speech
an advanced student, fond Of athletic sports.

DRIVEN INSANE BY LOVE.
Sad Fate of q Girl Deserted by HeI
Affianced Husband.

The funeral of Miss Mary McNerney, who
died violently insane, took place from st.
Mary's Church in Norwalk, Conn.
Four months ago Miss McNerney was one
of the brightest girls in Norwalk, but one day
she was introduced to Thomas Murtha, a
Young man we'll known in South
Norwalk. A brief courtship followed,
and one day he asked her to become
his wife. She consented, and the wedding
was fixed to occur on Easter Sunday. For
a while Murtha was the most devoted OF
lovers, but one day his visits ceased. He
gave no cause for his non-appearance.
Miss McNerney knew of NO reason why
he should act in this manner, and she was
too proud to inquire. The matter preyed
upon her mind so much that she became
silent and restless, and was noticed to be
dropping day by day. A few days after the
time set for the wedding she became violent
" insane, and continued in this condition
until death relieved her sutferings.
During her illness Murtha called to inquire
as to her condition, but evinced no regret at
the wreck his infidelity had caused.
and, to all appearances, he acted in
4 manner to impress witnesses as to
his utter ignorance of the subject.
The funeral was largely attended, and among
the mourners appeared Thomas Murtha,
whose apparent stoicIsn was matter OF
much comment.

Evaporation From Trees.

If any of my readers next June will
put the end of bough of some maple
tree into pint bottle and stop the mouth
of the bottle with wax, so that no vapor
may escape, he will see in few moments
the inside of the bottle become clouded,
and in about half an hour small drops
will begin to form on the glass and run
downward to the bottom. And at the
end of several hours he will discover that
he has from twelve to twenty grains of
water deposited in the bottle. And all
this will have been yielded forth from
the two or three leaves On the end of the
twig enclosed IN the bottle.
Now, a maple-tree of eight or ten
inches diameter, well formed and growth.
full, has on the average $4,000 leaves on
it, and it is safe computation to say
that such tree will throw off in the
space of every twelve hours $40, 900
grains weight of water. Now an acre
will easily contain 600 or 700 such trees,
and as the weight of one pint of water is
1000 grains, troy weight, it will be found
upon calculation that from a single acre
of forest land 1875 gallons of pure water
are thrown off and distributed through
the body Of the surrounding atmosphere
in every twelve hours.
If this seems incredible to you, can
assure YOU thai. it seems so only because
you have no knowledge Of trees You
probably have been accustomed to look
upon them as collections of unforceful
bulk; whereas they are active creatures,
and are forever at work. In one form or
another they are always busy, ,and of them
it may truly be said that they not only
adorn the landscape, but they rule the
atmosphere. They are thoroughly vital
formations, and are always in action.
They are as full of sluices and channels as
the human body is of veins, and the tidal
movement going on beneath their bark is
one of prodigious force. The amount OF
water that their normal condition de.
mands for their circulation is so great
that only knowledge can credit it. But,
once apprehended, it becomes in truth
key which enlocks many of the closed
doors behind which are concealed the
the mysterious changes now going on
year after year in our New England ci-
mate. Boston Herald.

MONTANA'S SENATORS,
The Republican Claimants Win ir
the United States Senate.

Montana is represented in the United States
Senate by two Republicans By a strict
party vote-32 to 26-Wilber F. Sanders and
Thomas C. Powers have been declared en-
titled to the long vacant seats for the new
State. After some debate Mr.. Butler Of
South Carolina, endeavored to have both the
majority and minority reports recommitted
to the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions, but failed. Later Mr.. Butler Offered
a resolution declaring that in the judgment
of the Senate there had been no choice o.
United States Senators from the State o:
Montana. This was defeated by a party
vote-yeas 90, nays 81. The vote in favor o:
the two new Senators Immediately took the
oaths of Office and their seats.
The newly seated Montana Senators,
Messrs. Sanders and Powers, drew lots, ir
with resolution offered by the
Committee on Privileges and Elections to
determine which should serve out the three
year term and which the five.
Under the terms of resolution presented
in executive session by Mr.. Hoar the Cleri
placed in box two papers of equal
size, bearing the numbers one and two
Senator Sanders drew No. l and Sena.
tor Powers No. 2. Vice-President Nor
ton thereupon announced that Senator
Sanders would be placed in the class of Sena-
tors whose terms expire on March 3, 1893,
and Senator Powers in the class whose terms
expire on March 3, 1895.
The two Montana Senators have had their
desks moved over to the Republican side,
and they will be near neighbors in the future
of Senator Pierce, Of North Dakota and
Senators Moody and Pettigrew, Of South
Dakota.
