The naturalization law now before
the senate declares that hereafter no
alien shall be admitted to naturaliza-
ton until he shall have been q resi-
dent of the United States during five
years Immediately preceding applica-
ton for naturalization papers, nor un-
til he shall prove, by two reputable
witnesses, that during that time he
behaved himself as a person of good
moral character, and shall also, in the
presence of the court, speak, read and
write the English language with such
intelligence and facility as to prove
his capacity to transact ordinary bust
ness in that language, and by its use
to become well informed in the prin-
ciples Of our constitution and the
duties of an American citizen. No
naturalized citizen is to be allowed to
exercise the right of suffrage until the
expiration of one year after he has
received his naturalization papers.

THE ship laborer's society of Que:
bee, Canada, is SO well organized that
what it says goes. Steam winches
are not used in hosting lumber, as
the society says men can do the work
at cranks. An 8-hour day is also well
enforced. Rather than submit to the
demand of the Quebec ship laborers,
four ships, from Europe last week,
went to Montreal, and then shipped
the cargo to Quebec and saved money.

How to Produce Merit.

Misguided benevolence has its we'll
known faults. We know the benevo-
lence that does not Help man to
help himself is not benefcent. We
know that nothing is at its best which
puts needless obligations upon the
beneficiary. We know that to produce
merit is at least as good as to find it;
that to augment it is better that merely
to reward it; that its best rewards are
simple. recognition, encouragement,
and opportunity; and that even in Civ
ing these, all gratuitousness is danger
Gus; and, especially, that there are
great risks in all sudden abundance.
Benevolence has learned that even in
social science there is room and need
for sentiment, but that sentiment must
follow and obey reason, not lead and
rule it. All these things we know by
heart, and yet our failures go on.
Some say that charity has still too
much sentiment. But in fact it has
not yet enough. Some say that it has
taken on too much science. But really
it has not enough. There ought to be
no lack of sentiment in the word science.
Yet many regard science as something
that complicates simple things, whereas
it silnplifes complex things. If science
deals with complex things, SO does
every other province OF human life;
but our mental Incidence loosely treats
complexities as though they were sim
pie, and science as the breeder of com
plexities. Human beneyolence still
needs more scientific thoughtfulness
to see complexity OF things too often
thus far treated as simple, and q
greater depth of sentiment to remem-
Der it. Our efforts are still crude

ANTIsEPTlc SURGERY.
Some Points in Surgical Methods as Prac-
tIced at Bellevue.

Efc9u AG beikeVues
sBellevue knows not pus,'' is the
proud boast of the great hospital In
New York City. Perhaps this is not
literally true, but it is nearly so, and
it is made possible by the most re-
markable system Of precaution that
can well be imagined. It is almost
true that Bellevue is scrubbed with
antiseptics. The floors are sprayed
with such preparations, surgeons and
attendants wash to the elbows In anti
septics when an operation is TO be per-
formed, and instruments are kept for
hours in an antiseptic bath.
Should an instrument be dropped on
the floor it is kicked from the room and
another from the antiseptic bath is
used in its place. The towels OF the
hospital are washed in antiseptics and
kept from the air, lest germs OF disease
reach them. When brought out for
use they are sprayed in antiseptics,
and when wound is bound the towels
are piled on several inches thick, that
germs from the air may be intercepted.
A mangled hand Is scrubbed with am
tiseptics and bound with sprayed BAN
dages.
Operations that were scarcely known
j few years ago are performed almost
weekly at Bellevue. A Western ply
sician who spends short time each
year studying his profession in the
! hospitals of New York, says that he
finds at each visit some operation that
was not attempted before. He sees
the progress of surgery here with as
/ tonishment. Though he may have
/ read in medical journals of this or that
new operation, the sight of it comes to
him like revelation.
There is a popular belief that Amer
lea is far behind the old world in sur
gerry. but resident physician OF TOR
eign birth declares that no country
performs daring and successful opera
tions with the. frequency with which
they are performed here. The Ameri-
can surgeon, when a difficult operation
is to be performed, often precedes it by
a similar operation upon dead sub
ject SO does the French surgeon, but
the latter often approaches the living
subject with nervousness, while the
American surgeon is as cool in the one
case as the other The same physician
owns that Germany does many won
eerful things in surgery, and thinks
the study of her progress highly val
uable.--N 7. 1etegrans-

ARTIFICIAL LANGUAGES.
Rivals of yolapuk That Have Found Ad-
mirers in Many Countries.

Es1Yals OF soiapuk 1hat Etave round Ad-
mirers in Many Countries.
Every cultivated language shows
more or less of art in its construction,
but it is unconscious art. Some recent
attempts to frame a universal language
are made without any concealment of
artificial contrivance. The inventors
of these strange tongues seem to take
pride in their ingenious schemes.
Readers have seen numerous notices
Of Volapuk, one of the candidates for
universal favor. The name illustrates
well the formation of the language.
It is formed from the German Volk,
people, and the English word, speech.
The material is taken chiefly from En-
glish, French and German, but the
parts are worked down a good deal be-
fore they are put together again.
1t may not be SO generally known
that already several rivals to Volapuk
have appeared. The most prominent
of these is Pastlingua, which differs
from the former in taking it's material
from the Greek and Latin languages.
Its name is compounded of the Greek
Pas, all, and the Latin tiqagua, meaning
tongue or language. The name indi-
Gates a language for all, or the Ian
guage of all; almost perfect synonym
for Volapuk. A comparison of the
two tongues will show wherein they
differ. Thus: What o'clock is itp is in
Volapuk: ssDup kinaid Ui,aosp''
In Pasilingua the question is: "Quota
bora er ala'
Where do you livep is in Volapul1:
ssKiplace lodens?n in Pasilingua: ..Ubs
habitirs tats?"
Not even do these two complete sys-
TENS have the field all to themselves.
A more recent dialect, for that is what
it is, appears under the name Spe1ia.
Some explanation may be needed to
show that this name is formed from
Pasilingua, and has nothing whatever
to do with spelling. The syllable IAN
represents in a more lazy way than
lingo the word lingua; but pc is a
slovenly representation of Pas, and the

no improvement upon the methods of
the most highly infected languages.
There is still another system devised
for universal use, which is called Lin
gualumissa. This name is clearly de-
scriptive. and means the language of
light. Whether it really possesses any
light of its own depends upon the ae-
quaintance the person who uses 1t may
have with the languages from which its
elements are taken.
In fact, here is the difficulty with
every one of the systems proposed.
Those who devise them are familiar
! with all the languages upon which they
! draw for material, and to their view
the meaning of their speech is plain;
but those who know only one language
| find it requires about the same study to
learn Volapuk, for example, as to learn
a foreign tongue. While these expert
ments are being carried ON, it is en-
couraging to note that the English lam
guage is gaining ground as rapidly as
| ever Youths Conapdaaioaa.

A Timely Suggestion.

The following from the railroad
columns of the Dallas News, might
be taken under advisement by Waco
The fact that the suggestion ema-
mates from a railroad passenger agent
in no way impairs its potency or
value. The suggestion is:
The passenger agent of one of the
most important Texas roads suggests
that this is the golden opportunity
for Texas to advertise herself as a
winter resort. 1t will be time in a
few weeks for the thousands of people
who 60 to Florida for the winter to be
casting about for some other place, as
it will be six weeks or two months
before yellow fever germs will be
killed in the Flowery state, and
before northern people, with their
exaggerated ideas of the horrors OF
yellow fever, will venture into that
winter picnic ground. Thomasville,
Ga, is as near Florida as even the
boldest tourists would think of VEN
turing, and ThOmasville won't begin
to accommodate the fiftieth part of
those who have made their arrange
ments to come south for the winter.
That the climate of Texas, particu-
larly that of southern Texas, is as
delightful in winter as that of Florida,
everybody that has compared the two
knows, and the present time affords
the most favorable opportunity the
state will perhaps ever have of call
ing the attention of the northern peo-
pie to the fact. The resorts of south
ern Texas, as they are, are ample to
accommodate all the disappointed
Florida tourists. And If the tourists
could be induced to come to Texas
one winter, Florida would never
catch them again.

Free Delivery in Waco.

An EVENING News reporter this
morning asked Judge Gerald the
status of the free delivery system in
Waco, and was told that the mail
boxes, carriers pouches and other ac-
coutrements had arrived and orders
had been issued for the introduction
of the free delivery system in Waco
on October lst, but before 1t could 90
into effect the presence of an inspector
to confer as to the designation of car
carriers districts, street lettering and
numbering was necessary. Judge
Gerald has repeatedly requested the
authorized inspector to come to Waco
and look after this work, but so far
he has not come, but may put in an
appearance in due season. The Judge
who has the re recommendation of per.
sons for the position of carriers, has
fixed upon the parties whom he will
recommend but has not sent in their
names as the approval of the inspec.
tor is also necessary and he desires to
wait for this SO that no tedious delay
and stoppage after the inspectors
visit. Judge Gerald wishes to for.
ward the carriers names, bonds, etc.,
all together, An inspector may drop
in almost any day and settle the mat
ter, and it is to be hoped he will.
