planted in all the towns and cities; upon
the farms and along the streets and
highways, every effort should be made
to direct intelligent thoughts in this
channel Besides the practicable bene-
fits to be gained through this annual
planting, the study Of trees and their
culture Is an ennobling pursuit. The

pecially commended.

JUDGE WHITE, of the probate court,
Cleveland, had q peculiar case to decide
the other day. Some time since Ah
Sing. q Chinaman, asked for second
naturalization papers. All Sing is q
thorough American in dress, habits and
everything but nationality. He was
born In China, but he has reared .
family and accumulated property in
Cleveland. He pays taxes, and wants
TO vote. The judge took the case under
advisement, and decided that the papers
could not be issued, as under the law of

Sing to citizenship. Judge White said
he recognized All Sings social standing
and moral worth, and he regretted that
he could not make him a citizen.
