NATURALIZATION LAWS.

What Foreigners Must Do to Become
Citizens of tho United States.
Naturalization is Federal right and
is the gift of the Union, not of any eae
State. The right to vote comes from the
STATE and is State gift. The natural
ization laws apply to the whole Union
alike and provide that no alien may be
naturalized until after five years resi-
dence. Even after five years residence
and due naturalization the alien is not
allowed to vote unless the laws of the
State confer the privilege upon him.
In Minnesota he can vote four months
after landing If he has Immediately de-
clared his intention under the United
States laws to become a citizen. The
conditions under and the manner in
which an alien may be admitted to be-
come a citizen of the United States are
as follows: The alien must declare
upon oath before Circuit or District
Court of tho United States or District
or Supreme Court of the Territories or
a court of record of any of the
States having common jurisdiction
and seal and clerk two years at
least prior to his admission, that is,
bona fide, his intention to become a
citizen of tho United States and to
renounce forever all allegiance and
fidelity to any foreign prince or State,
and particularly to the one of which no
may be at the time citizen or subject.
If the alien has borne any hereditary
title or order of nobility he must re-
nounce the same at the time of his ap-
plication. Any alien of the age of twen-
ty-one years and upward, who has been
in the armies of the United States and
has been honorably discharged there
from, may become citizen on his petit
ton, without any previous declaration
OF intention, provided that he has re-
sided in the United States at least one
year previous to his application and IL
of good moral character. (Residence OF
one year in particular State Is mot
requisite.) In regard to minors, any
alien under the age of twenty-one years
who has resided in the United States
three years next preceding his arriving
at that age, and who has continued to
reside therein to the time of his appli-
cation may, after he arrives at the age
of twenty-one years, and after he has
resided five years within the United
States, including tho three years OF his
minority, be admitted as a citizen, but
he must make declaration on oath and
provo to the satisfaction OF the court
that for two years next preceding 1t has
been his bona fide intention to become
citizen. The children Of persons that
have been duly naturaliled, being under
the age of twenty-one years at the time
of the naturalization Of their parents,
shall, II dwelling in the United States,
lie considered as citizens thereof The
naturalization OF Cinnamon is expressly
prohibited. -Chicaao Herald.

Economy in tho Kitchen.

A wise economy is a splendid quality
in cook. Without it even the highest
culinary genius may come rather over
expensive. But it must be intelligent
economy. What is generally known as
attempted cheese-paring, writes san
Old Bohemian" is truly naught but ex.
travagance of the worst possible kind
and in the most openly foolish disguise
Never go in for that sort of seeming
saving which consists in the use OF
cheap materials-such, for instance, as
cancid butter or mutton-fat for pastry
and frying, or inferior niscalled cheap
meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
etc. You will always find the best
articles the cheapest in the end. Let
your economy be quantitative, not quail
itative. Take it for granted that lit
tie of what is really good will go a
longer way than a great deal of inferior
trash. Shun cheap fats in pastry, but
always use good butter. II you must
employ substitute, take pure lard.
The avoidance of waste in every depart
ment OF the kitchen, tho larder and
pantry, is the only true economy. IN.

EvAoING THE QUESTION.
How "a Little Girl Upset Emperor Will
Jams Equanimity.

During stay of Emperor William l..
of Germany at the fashionable water
ing place of Ems, that monarch paid a
visit to large orphan asylum and
school that was under government pat
ronage. The presence of SO distin-
guished parsonage created quite SEN
sation in the establishment. After
listening with much interest to the reci-
tations of several of the classes, his
Majesty called to him bright, flaxen-
haired little girl of five or six years of
age, and, lifting her into his lap, said to
her:
''Now, my little Fraulein, let me see
how we'll you have been taught To
what kingdom does this belong? And
taking out of his pocket an orange, he
held it up to her.
The little girl hesitated moment,
and, looking timidly up in the Empe.
ror's face, replied:
ITO the vegetable kingdom"
Every good, my little Fraulein; and
now to what kingdom does this belong?"
And he drew out of his pocket gold
piece and placed it on the orange.
Again the little girl hesitated, but
soon replied:
"To the mineral kingdom
"Better and BETTER" said the En-
peror. snow look at me, and say to me
to what kingdom belong"
At this question, there was an ominous
silence among the teachers and visitors
who were listening with much interest
to the royal catechism. Could she make
any other reply than ''To the animal
kingdom?" The little girl hesitated
long, as il perplexed as to what answer
she would give. Was the Emperor an
animal? Her eyes sought those of her.
teacher and her schoolmates. Then she
looked up into the eyes of the aged EN-
peror, and, with a half-startled, fright
ened look, as If she were evading the
question, replied:

The unexpected answer completely
upset the equanimity of the old gentle

WOMEN AND NOVELS.
A Word of Advice to the Alert, Practical
Women of America.

We have thousands of novels every
season sown broadcast over the land and

If you ask, "to advantage?" that is
not as clear and largely depends. Still
one need not take dark views and mar

cession of If and But" The old dangers
are averted by the very conditions of
the time. The higher education has
created an appetite for wholesome
mental food-the radical temperament
is active and one thing follows fast on
the footsteps of another: If our girls are
reading more, they are dancing, riding,
dressing more; going more into music,
athletics, nursing, charity, literary
work; in short, realities force them
selves on the attention to such degree
that few women are in danger of neg
in fictitious joys and woes alone.
Many women are eXiles through life.
They do not even hear afar the music
of existence, all for which woman
longs instinctively; they are shut out
by poverty, by illness, by monotonous
round of prosaic duty none the less we'll

CHICAGO. Dec. 10.-The final disposition of
the money subscribed for the Irish cause on

addresses by the Irish ENJOYS. then in this
city, remains in doubt. The aggregate OF
subscriptions and money realized from the
sale of tickets was between ST. 6. 900 and $IS,-
900. Less than half of this has been realized
in cash, as most of the subscribers, in view
of the split i'll the party, have thought it best
to keep their money i'll their pockets till the

ton OF the money seems rather remote.

Parnell Alone Responsible for g
DepIorable Condition.
LONDON. Dec. 10.--The anti-Parnell mem
bers of the Irish parliamentary party have
issued their promised manifesto to the Irish
people. In this they say:
Feeling bound to protect our country's
cause, at whatever personals sacrifice. we
found ourselves under the sud necessity of
terminating Mr.. Parnelrs leadership. 1t
would have been easier to have left him un-
disturbed: but such q course would have
left every man OF us traitor 10 has country
Mr. Parneli, disregardlng our appeals to re-
member the country, evinced an il-jud. ed
determination to maintain this uutenable
position, thus threatening to plunge Ireland
into conflict which may Overwhelm her
and cause her present fair prospects to disap-
pear forever. 1t is the duty of Irishnien
now. irrespective of all consideration of
feelings, either for Mr.. Parnell or those dit
fering from him. TO ADOPT a course that will
save Ireland from destruction"
After detailing various reasons for their ac
ton, the signers of the manifesto add that,
whatever Judgment Ireland may pass on the
manifesto, her cause hangs on the issue, and
the signers will abide by that. they being the
nations servants. They epumerate the
charges against Mr. Parneil as follows:
First-He speaks as if he was the injured
party, whereas he alone is responsible for the
present deporable situation.
Second-He pledged himself to repel the
charges in connection with the O'Shea case.
but when the time came to do this he re-
manned silent '
Third-He does not hesitate to renounce-
and denounce the mutitudes of English
friends of Irish liberty as English wolves. 8
Fourth But the English wolves and the
Irish bishops express the same Opiuion of
Mr.. Parneli. and he cannot mend matters by
calling nicknames.
Fifth-The reminder of the Leinster re-
election was the most ungenerous taunt
ever uttered. The effort to sustain Mr.. Par
nell without playing Ireland false is made a
cause of attack, whereas it ought to be a vim
dlcation.
The signers of the manifesto pledge them
selves to remain an independent party. thus
insuring final victory tor the Irish cause
under the auspices OF the alliance of the
British Democracy and the Irish peoples
The manifesto concludes thus: o.:
Fellow countrymen: The issue we sub
nit to you is one upon which the fortunes of
our country must depend. May God defend
the right"
There are forty-seven signatures attached
to the manifesto, headed by that of Justin
Mccarthy.
