Raising Clover Seed.

To grow good clover seed it should
not be left until all the seed his ripen-
ed before cutting, as thus much of
the best seed, that from the earliest
and largest blossoms, will rattle out
and be lost. Much of that which seems
to be only partially ripened will germi-
nate quite as well and bring as vigor-
GUS plants as the ripest seed. Handle
and cure the clover just as if it was to
be made into hay excepting cutting it
later, and the straw will be good hay
after it is threshed, not quite as good
as the early cut hay, but quite as good
as any late-cut hay for horses or cat
tie. 1t is thought the best method of
growing clover seed, to cut the first
crop of clover for hay, as early as it is
fit. and let the second crop grow and
ripen seed. Some go SO far as to say
that the seed from the first crop is not
as good as that from the second crop or
rowen, but we think the real advant-
age is getting the crops of hay, and
perhaps there may be better weather
for curing the seed at the late moving
than in June

up by the dinner OF the Bar Asaocia

the other to quietly ignore personal

newspapers whose sensationalism

NATURALIZATION.
The Circuit Court Has Jurisdiction
In the Matter.

4h0 0ltkulb 0OUEb adb
In the Matter.
This Court has been waited upon
by a committee from the various
other Islands of this Territory,
requesting the Judge of this Court,
as United States District Court,
to visit those various island,
for the purpose of naturalizing
people, and making them citizens
Of the United States.
This Court is ready and willing
to do thSt duty, or any other duty
imposed upon it by law. And it
may be pertinent to say, after
careful examination of the law,
while this Court has jurisdiction yet
this Court is compelled to say, that
it believes that the Circuit Court
of the Territory OF Hawaii, has
absolute jurisdiction, not exclusive,
to make citizen of the United States;
therefore, the Court ventures to
call the bars attention to a little
law in relation thereto. / call
attention to section 2l65 of the
Revised Statutes Of the United
States, page 378;-
Gan alien may be admitted to
become a citizen of the United
States in the following manner and
not otherwise:
"First. He shall declare on oath,
before Circuit or District Court of
the U. S. or District or Supreme
Court OF the territories, or a Court
of record of any OF the States, hay
ing common law jurisdiction, and
seal and clerk, two years at least
prior to his admission, that it is
bona fde his intention to become
citizen of the U. S."
Is is we'll known to the bar and the
people, that the Enabling Act, TAX
ing this territory into the Union;
that part of it in relation to the two
years declaration, is abolished, and
that a resident OF the island, having
lived here FIVE years prior to the Ia
OF June, 1900, can become a citizen
of the U. s. and territory.
The only problem that seems to
strike is this law that says, "the
District Court or the Supreme
Court of the territories" 1t has
been held by some lawyers, that the
Circuit Court has no jurisdiction to
make citizens. This Court 10 COM
PEELED to believe that that is a mis-
take; that the Circuit Court has
jurisdiction; that the only object OF
that law, which was passed before
this Enabling Act was passed, was
to show that it was a court Of record
OF common law jurisdiction, with
clerk and seal and possessing all
the attributes Of court OF justice.
1t has been held by the highest
court in the country that q judg-
ment OF naturalization is q judg-
ment OF court OF record, it must
be signed with all the formality and
solemnity in the possession OF the
court.
l am compelled to believe that
the Circuit Court OF the Territory
of Hawaii, is a court OF original
jurisdiction, Of common law juris.
dictiou, possessing the came and all
the attributes OF a court of authori-
ty, and therefore, although the
statute says District Court" l
think that it relates to the Circuit
Court as WE'LL
The Courts of our country have
held many timer, that courts pos.
sessiug common law Jurisdiction,
and general jurisdiction also, in both
law and equity matters, can natural
ize citizens, and thus make them

The Advertiser, when it advocated
annexation certainly must have real
lied that American institutions like
municipal and county governments
would be adopted by the territory.
The fact is that the Advertiser didn't
bargain for the form of government

ing idea that some form of colo.
nial government controlled by the

PECULIARITIES OF
 iTALY'S NEW KING

King of Jerusalem a2l of Cyprus are Italy, wEo. contrary to the impression derived from his portraits, is not black
 haired and swarthy, but on the con- trary rather fair like his grandfather and namesake King Nic.or Emmanuel
 his hair and mustache being reddish in their hue. The Re Galant'U mo was accus omcd to dye his us.lche and hair with a dye specially prepared by that game keepers daughter, Rosina
 whom he created Countess of MirahOre. and ultimately married morganatically. He would allow TO Cn5 else either to prepare this hair dye or to apply i. and when Rosina was absent from his side for any length of time, the effects of her absence were plainly appar.n- in the altered and lighter hue of the mon arch's hair and fierce mustacha. Italy $ new ruler has another pecuiarity not apparent in his pictures, and y,t which is not only odd but extremely discOn- certing. It is d sort Of contraction of the nerves of the face. which leads him every two CT three minutes t1 lot tho lids drop completely over he ball Of the eyes which remain closed for the space of about half a s-cord, anG then sud denly open again to their fullest extent
 no other feature of the face having moved meanwhile. The Prime of Wales has this same tic nerveUx' with the right eye. People who see the prince for the frs. time are sometimes tempted to believe that he is Celiber- ately winking at them, an impression which is strengthened by his reputation of geniality toward men and gallantry toward women. Of course, however
 there is no such intention on the part of the prince. and the wink is invol- untary as the new king of Italys blink
 It, however, sometimes has the effect of causing persons Wh are talking to the king or prince, or listening tD their conversation, to start off blinking in re sp0nse, especially when thcy happen to be people of nervous temperament.
 Incidentally, I may mention that Archduke Louis Victor, the younger brother of the emperor of Austria. has an equally disconcerting trick of con tinually snappirg the fingers of his right hand while he is talking to a per- son, especially if he gets in any way animateG. T. is due to nervousness more than to anything ,l.e. But when cne sees him thus snaDrirg his fingers with lis arm extended at an angle of ab5u; f1rty-five degrees from his body one is ap, c. become sufficiently exas- poratGd to give him a good shaking.
 The late George w. Chids of Phila- delphia, used to have a trick sUmewha { similar to that of the archduke In st.ad f snapping his fingers h. devoted his superfluous energy to catching inn aginary flies. No matter what his topic of conversation or how bitterly cold the weather, he would sweep his righ. hand

Although Bat Masterson's hair is be- ginning 10 turn a little gray around the edges and he is ge:ti".s well along in life he is still the same Bat Masterson who commanded respect rom the thugs who at one time posed as the bullies of the west, and when the gray tinged hair is rubbed the wrong way his gray eyes flash as they used to of old and the sparks commence to fly off in a threatening E.anncr.

 Thunder Bull, the chief of his once powerful tribe, stalke1 about the pla.- form, the very personification of ma jestic grandeur, doubtless dreaming of the day when virgin woodland formed hunting ground for his braves, and conquest made men great. And then, as he dreamed, his piercing eye seemed to look through and through the years of strife and struggle. Again he saw himself at the head of his gallant band, and again he held high the scalp of the enemy and received the plaudits of his people for his bravery. And he beheld. as in a dream, small boy wearing cloths of blue, standing not ten feet from him, holding out a ham sandwich. and the noble red man made a dive for it and surrounded it as eagerly as he ever scalped a white man or enveloped a quart of redeye, while the news agents kid watched him and wondered how he did 1t.

in the long run immigration does not have much effect in increasing pOpula- ton. The south, where few immigrants Lave gone, seems to have increased in numbers about as fast as the west. As population grows denser. the rate of increase falls off. Where a country is filled up with immigrants the rate of increase by births is quickly checked. The population of the United States in creased faster by its own efforts be- tween 179O and 1S4O, when immigration was light, than it did between 1S40 and 1890, when it was heavy. There is mat ter for meditation in that. During the last decade, which included five years of hard times. immigration has been Iight.-Harper's Weekly.

The estimable gentlemen who are hack of this scheme publish an apo Cryphal list of premature burials. Some or these tales are a few centuries old, and smell more of the cloister than they do of the tomb. We have no knowledge of a well authenticated case of living burial, and believe that the probability of such is infinitesimal. Even putting aside the objections of the so-called dead person, there would be the physicians and other attendants to be deceived before such a burial were possible. Moreover, there Is no trance-like state known to science that thus stimulates death. We commend all timid neurasthenics to sooth their nerves, and if they need a positive guarantee that they will not be buried alive, them direct their bones to be ere mated. This is both sure prevention and good hygiene.-Philadelphi Med ical Journal.
