The New Orleans PiedyuRe has dis
covered that the only State that has been
absolutely uniform in its congressional
representation is Rhode Island. 1t had
two members under the first census and
the same number ever since. 1t is bound
to remain in the same category another
ten years. Its population in 1880 was
276, ,53l, and it is now 32S, 900. This IS
variation which precludes change,
whatever basis of representation may be
adopted. Delaware has always had just
one, except that under the third census
it had two. These are the only constant
quantities in the entire category.

Removal of the Human Liver.

In the course of long series Of care
fully conducted investigations, Professor
Ponfc, of Breslau, has made the impor-
tant discovery that large part of the
liver-evon as much as three -fourths-
may be removed without serious disturb
ance Of the animal functions. Surgeons
have long known or regarded 1t as fact
that the whole of the liver is not abb
solutely essential to health, but have
hardly supposed that the sudden destruc-
tion of considerable part of it would
not be serious in the eXtreme-the dis
covery to the contrary now enabling
operations to be performed which have
hitherto been considered alike beyond
surgical skill and human endurance.
Professor Ponic's remarkable investiga-
tions in this line prove that the liver has
wonderful power Of reproduction-in
some cases, he states, a portion equal to
two-thirds having been replaced by a
new growth within few weeks.-Ne0

NIGHT IN THE CITY.

There is not sound or breath tonight,
The streets lay broad and still,
Even the breeze has taken flight,
The town is bathed in the silvery lighu
That the down-turned moon doth split
In yonder house the dancing feet
Have ceased to beat the floors
flushed are the notes Of the violin sweet,
The music and mirth that reigned complete
The song and dance are Ger.
In its mothers arms a new life sleeps
Down in the heart of the city;
In another house a woman weeps,
Watching a couch TO which death creeps,
That death which knows no pity.
'Tis woman dying; her passionate life
Is slowly ebbing away.
It may be an ending to sin and strife
So months and years. with recklessness rife,
She has lived through her butterfly day.
So baby sleeps and woman dies;
Vain now is her beauty's might.
What can avail her lovers sighs,
Quenched is the light of her beautiful eyes
Death calls her his own tonight
One soul comes in through life's broad gate
While another is fleeing fast
To that goal Of souls, which early or late,
Be they young or old, whatever their state,
All souls must reach at last
And the world moves on and the moon shines
down
With the same old silvery light;
hut tbarnfc hirt1 nd daatl, in

And darkness no light of the morn can

"Many New Workers, doubtless, have
been puzzled to account for the fact that
we have an East and North River, in
stead of an East and a West River" OBJ
serves the New York Tribune. ''The
explanation is found in the circumstance
that the Hudson was originally called the
North River to distinguish it from the
Delaware, which was popularity known as
the South River among the early colon
lists. While the latter designation has
become obsolete, the former is still in
current use, although there is no reason
why this should be so. 1t is no harder
to say Hudson than North, and it is
certainly more beautiful and appro-
pirate"

so eleven months ago he packed his grip
and, by easy stages, stopping at many
places on the way, journeyed back to the

Coincident with irrigation should be tree
planting, which would in short time not
only change the appearance of the country,
but supply the wood which is necessary for
fuel. 1t would hardly be possible to estimate
the value of trees in their usefulness toward
retaining arid lands, and too much cannot
be said in urging the profuse planting of
them. In fact it would be well for the gov
eminent, in selling land reclaimed by it
through the irrigation works to be estab-

ending my existence. For more than
four years / suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength TO drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-

any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsapariila, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla l could see an Improvement in my
