How to Become Naturalized
A boy who came here under the
age of 18 years, after be has be rome
of age and after a residence here o
five years, can go before a judge of a
court of record and procure his natur
alization papers, and at once become
a citizen. He must however, pro
duce one citizen who can swear that
the applicant came here under the
age of 18 vears and has lived in the
United States not less than live
years, and in the State not less than
one vear. Where the applicant was
over 18 years when he came to this
c« ontry, he most declare bis inten
tion of becoming a citizen, and a resi
dence of five years in all, and of at
least two years alter his declaration
of inU otion, is necessary before lie

Brazilian Anacondas.
Two large anacondas were discov
ered in the hold of Ihc bnrkentiue
Emma K. Smith, which is now uis
cha'L'ing a cargo of phosphate rock
|at South Camden, N. J. Each of the
I reptiles measures over thirteen feet
I long. The captain of the vessel is
I unable to account for the snakes being
aboard of the ship, and thinks that
thev might have reached the ringing
from dense overhoDging tropical foli
age while tie vessel was lying in the
hnrbor of Par«. Brazil, wbic h is con
ceded to be the home of the anaconda
and the boa constrictor. The rep
tiles have thus far shown no inclina-
interfere with the crew or the
'iongshor< men on the vessel. The
captain will probably dispose of the
snakes to some museum snake charm
er.
tie Honest.
In almost every paper wd pick up
we find an item explaining how "one
of our honest farmers" has been swin
dled by two or three three-card monte
sharps. It might be a good lesson
to the rest of the community in which
the honest farmer, who plays three
card monte, lives, to arrest hitn for
gambling and allow the courts to de
termine whether the gambler
who takes his chaioa? aud
comes out the loser is any lefs a gam
bler than the winner. The man who
bets on a horse race, three aces or
three card mon to takes hia chances,
and when he puts up his money ex
pects to be the winner, and only be
comes the innocent granger when he
gets left. Be honest if you can, if
not, don't advertise it.—Conneaut
ville Courier.
A Woman 140 Years Old.
Probably in no country are exam
ples of longevity so numerous and so
striking as Russia. Almost every
day the newspapers contain well an
thenticated accounts of women and
men who took part in, and have a vi
vid recollection of, the most notewor
thy events of the lust quarter of the
eighteenth century. The latest of
these instances is that of a woman
who is only forty years younger than
the Patriarch Isaac when he died
This human relic of the past, who
celebrated her 140 th birthday some
weeks a?o, lived exclusively on pota
toes and milk. She whs at all times
a strict teetotaleer. S>io is still live
ly, bri-k and cheerful, and can read
without spectacles.

The following etory was thrown at

Labor's Interest is the Country's.
Tbewealtbv importers wbo are
,argely Free Traders because it would
inevitably increase their impor
tations and profits (or a time at least,
would do well to reflect upon the pa
triotic sentiments uttered by Mr. H.
K. Thurber.'of the great importing
firm of TLurber, Whyland & Co., in
his recent letter to the wage earners
of the United States, Mr. Thurber
says:— ..
"Free Tr.ide is a very pretty theo
ry but it is mainly professional men
who advocate it, and it is gratifying
to some to preach 'that all the wor d
are brothers' and that consequently
we should not protect the labor oi
own neighbors, our own citizens,
wbo build our towns into villages,
our villages into cities, who consume
our own raw products. Free Trade
may be charity to foreign operatives,
hut I for one believe that charity be
gins at home first; that my own
[ country is entitled to my first regard,
that the interest of the wage earner
of this country is my interest, that
his success is my success. I also be
lieve that what European manufac
turers want us to do is not for our
interest to do. When every Europe
an paper bailed President Cleveland's
Message with delight as tending to
ward Free Trade it convinced me
that it was not for the best of this
country that he should be re elected.''
The friendly attitude toward the
labor movement which Las been wani
fested by the Thurbers lor many years
addß significance to this unqualified
declaration against Cleveland's I* ree
Trade conspiracy.
