ting at tbe same table and eating tbo

half dollar. Justification was found in
tbo allegation that strangers look for $2

would militate against the reputation of

There is a very general impression
that our town is too denBcly shaded for
tho good of tbe buildings or tbe health
of our poople, and yet few brave the
courage to commence an onslaught up
on the beautiful f oiiagosurrouodiog the r
residences, not understanding that trees
aro lioest wben tbeir lower limbs are
all trimmed away. Street trees should
be parmitted to grow at the top and be
trimmed at tbo lower branches. They
should ba so grown as to arch over tbo
street, fitly or cixty foot high, and over
the sidewalk as high as tbey cap be,
forming a beautiful urch, and allowing
tbo circulation of air under tbo troos.
Tbo finest cities in America havo this
kind of sbado in their stroots, and no
town can ho complete whose trees pro-
vent tho circulation ot air, obstruct the
view of houses, or whose lower limbs

the vision, tbe beads, umbrellas or
carriago topB ot tboso passing through.
Trees can bo pruned after the firBt of
June or any time, without injury un
til the sap Btarts again Dext spring.
Never fear trimming of tbo lower limbs
too much; the tops will grow much
faster and handsomer tbe more you cut
away below. Cut away all the lower
sprouts ot tbe trees recently sot, and
tbey will bo tho more sure to live, and
will grow faBtcr. Finally koop a sharp
watch out for dead limbs in tbo tops of
tbe larger trees, wbicb may booome a
serious menace to passers-by in times of
high wind und ice storms.

Miss Ueleue l'urdy, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. A. Purdy, of Beelyvllle, underwent
ou Tuesday last, one ot the most difficult
surgical operations known to the profession
the removal ot the parotid gland tor a
sarcoma of three years' growth. This case
possesses peculiar Interest from tbe fact that
more than a year ago some of the leading
surgeons of this Btate and New York refus
ed to operate. 01 late the growth baa been
making such pressure on the throat as to
render swallowing difficult, and the attend
ing physicians deemed It advisable to at-
tempt its rtmoval. The treatment necessi
tated the ligation of all of the large arteries
of the neck and the cutting of the facial
nerve. One hour and a quarter was requir
ed for tbe operation, which was performed
at the Scranton private hospital by Or. H-
A. Bmltb, assisted by ber physician, Dr. H.
B. Ely. A telephone message to Dr. Ely
this morning brings the weloome Intelli
gence that Miss Purdy's condition is very
satisfactory.
