who are Entitled 10 Citizenship

n. Y. SUM-
The opinion of Judge Sawyer, of the
United States Circuit Court for Califor-
mia, denying the application of a China
man to be naturalized, shows very clear
ly that, as the laws now stand, no Turk,
no Tarter, no Malay, no Mongolian, no
japanese and no Chinaman can become
citizen of the United States. Only
white persons, or, as Judge Sawyer con-
strues it, only persons of Caucasian race,
or, as modern ethnology puts it, persons
of Aryan race born in foreign countries,
can be admitted to the privileges of Amer
can citizenship. The only exception to
this is found in Africans or their de-
seendents, negroes or mulattoes.
No doubt this is the law, but its intrin-
sic absurdity is evident. Why should we
admit a negro to become citizen and
exclq lie japanese. Most negroes are
exceedingly ignorant and uncultivated.
Taking the great mass of those in Africa,
they are the most ignorant and debased
people in the world, while the japanese
on the other hand, are among the most
cultivated, artistic and amiable. The
same is true of well educated Cinnamon.
Judge Sawyer lays down good law, but
very poor sense.

AT an auction sale of miscellaneous
goods on Michigan avenue, the auction
eer put up a wolf robe and invited bids:
An old man inspected it closely, seemed
to think there was bargain in it, and
vet he hesitated to bid.
..Don't you want it?'' asked the auc-
tioneer.

sThen, why don't you bid and take

LittIe Girls Dresses.

From the Bazar.l
Young girls Just in their teens wear cos.
tunes very similar 10 the short suits NOW
worn by ladies. The kilt skirt is c-peci-
ally appropriate for these young demois-
Giles, on account Of its simple folds and
its freedom from hOunces, and the cut
away coat suits them because Of It's jaunti-
ness.
The princesse dresses worn by Girls "
twelve years, and the tiniest little ones
also, are no longer plain, nor are they
trimmed with scarfs. The fancy this
season Is to add jacket fronts 20 them,
giving them, in some designs, the effect of
q out-away coat, while the princesse back
is preserved.
White muslin slips for little girls under
five years are box pleated from the neck
down to the edge, where they are finished
off with wide edgIng Of embroidery, or
else they are cut shorter, and a Spanish
hounce lie added.
The dressy white toilets that are worn
over colored silks arc in yoke slips or else
princesse coats made entirely of puHs of
nainsook, separated by Valenciennes in-
sertion,
Aprons for small girls are now made Of
white nansook, high in the neck, with q
yoke and fully gathered below, and they
may be with sleeves or without.
White pique dresses are not as much
used as they formerly were, now that
small girls are provided with such pretty
dresses.
COlored dresses are more worn by girls
Of three to FIVE years than they formerly
were.

Force of Habit.

In most of our colleges it is the custom
for one member of the faculty-usually
the president-to have the supervision oil
all absent and dilatory students, and to
him every such one is to go to explain
the cause of his absence or hardness. No
more kind and indulgent guardian of the
college discipline could be found than
DIR. a. Every student knew well
his old and stereotyped way of saying,
"Well, we'll, I'll excuse you this time
but don't let it happen again.
Although not in accordance with the
usual rule, Mr.. H, a married man,
had been admitted to pursue the studies
of the regular course. One day he was
absent; on the next, appearing with bis
class in the doctors robm, he explained,
with great embarrassment that the arri-
val of an heir had been the cause of his
detention. Without looking up from
the papers on his table, and apparently
without thought as to the nature of the
excuse, so long as there was ons, the
doctor graciously remarked: "Well,
well, I'll excuse you this time; but don't
let it happen again" The announce
ment was greeted by the class with the
most tumultuous applause. Editors
