SEEN IN CHINATOWN.
NCW YORK YOUNGSTERS, WHO ARE
FOND OF SLUMMING,
Among the Afmoml Lye*! Denizens
.. c
Cleanliness of the Orientals—Meals at a
Chinese Restaurant. ^
There has grown up a fancy among tho
young people who are rather suffering for
amusement to explore Chinatown, and
they find much that is amusing beside
the yellow skinned chosen beauties Sunday
evening is the time for this sort of
slumming, as then the pigtail ers con
gregate from far and near to buy supplies
of Chinese food, which iast them all the
week in their Jersey City and Hoboken
laundries At that time Mott street and
its vicinity present a pretty fair imita
tion of Hong Kong, despite the fact that
trains are thundering by through the ele
vated network at Chatham square, The
streets are almost impassable with the
chattering crowds of Chinamen, each
with a parcel under his arm, containing
salt turnips, dried shrimp, tea and rice,
which they have come to purchase for
their seven days’ supply These Chinese
eat comparatively little American food,
and the Chinese groceries, of which there
are thirty or forty, do a thriving trade.
drawn from all the cities within easy ais
tance, many of the grocers being worth
anywhere from fifty to a hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
You will find their stock is nearly all
imported; they keep very few American
products, and you will wander among
these jostling crowds for hours without
hearing one word of English or suspect
ing that such a longue was known were
it not for the patent medicine advertise
meats, which carry the language every
where, and are seen here in profusion,
setting forth their merits in both tongues,
and reaping, it is said, great store of
shekels'from the pigtailers, who dote on
stuif of the sort and pay fortunes to their
own nostrum sellers for the style of medi
cines which were in vogue in Europe in
the middle ages. In every grocery hangs
three or four pairs of antlers in the
velvet, and the powder obtained by
pounding a fragment of \ hem in a mortar
with a sliver of Chinese ginseng root
makes a dose which would go on a silver
quarter, costs anywhere from £40 to $75,
and is taken once a year by any one who
can afford it with the firm conviction that
it has power to not only euro but ward
off possible disease during the coming
year. method prescriptions
The of getting is
simple but somewhat haphazard. A
Chinaman who feels that something is
seriously wrong inside goes to t ho joss
house, sets up two incense sticks in the
incense burner, takes a small jar full of
narrow bamboo slips in his hand, bows
three times and begins .to slowly shake
the jar from side to side. In tho course
of a minute or two one of the slips works
its way out from the others and fails on
the floor. It has a number on it, and that
number corresponds to a prescription “oraclo to
bo found in a tattered ^md dingy
book” hanging on the wall. The patient
secures that proscription from his chemist,
takes it with full faith in the Joss’
gnosis and remedy Nearly every man
of these Chinamen that the society
go down to gaze at curiously as
clatter through the narrow streets
'amuy.g tho stands where salted cucumbers peanuts
and . Chinese cabbage and are
sold , is a washerman.
There are 2,0U0 luuudr.es in New York
alone. 900 in vour city and 200 in Jersey
City, which, is called in the Confucius
t t m’usquito laud.” Each laundry aud has from
two to five men working in it, Chinese most
of them make money, for the
exclusion bill keeps away competition
and gives them a sort of laundry trust of
it. One young vUman, who has lately
been on an expedition of this sort, when
she acquired this piece of information
saw in it the explanation of a fact
had greativ nuzzled her—which was that

had gone into little rooms crowded to the
doors with Orientals, where the windows
were shut and the fas burning, and yet
there was not tho smallest hint of un*
pleasant odor. She had explored opium
dens and found every smoker with tho
snowiest stockings on his un slippered
feet, and she camo homo much amazed
having had some previous experience
among tho lower classes of other nations.
Possibly tho laundry profession being so
widelv diffused explains their cleanliness.
they not only wash themselves, however,
but the Melican man can go into their bar¬
ber shops any evening and seo the barber
brush out and braid up their long queues,
shave away all t lie hair around the face
and neck, remove all traces of beard and
manicure their nails, his customers com¬
ing out from his hands as fresh and clean
as a yellow rose.
Of all the places in Chinatown the most
interesting are tho restaurants, of which
there are eight. The Delia onico's is Hong
Ping Lo’s, where one can order a “spread »«,
of forty courses, which it takes two (Jays
to eat and which can be had for the sum
of £50, and provides enougli for a party
of six. Here's a meal for three at tho
Chinese Dehnonico’s and tho prices: Wo
had tea, samsu (rice brandy), two kinds
of wine, a dish of chow-chop-sucy. which
is a pungent and palatable conception of
chicken livers and gizzards, fungi, bamboo
buds, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and
all manner of savory spices stewed to¬
gether; a dish of cuttlefish, one of ducks’
breasts, chickens’ wings, pigeons’ wings,
a bowl of rice and a mooneako by way of
sweets,.and for this, with all tho attend¬
ant dishes of sauces and condiments, one
pays £1.125. A full, square meal, deli¬
ciously cooked, dainty and delicate, for
about forty cents apieo tlo r loss, because
there was enough on t dishes to liavo
fed three or four more people. This fact
is becoming known, and over five hun¬
dred Americans are regular customers at
the Celestial eating house. They they do not
want them there, either, because are
too cheao. Thev study matters closely,
and manage to get their meals for about
ten cents, while the Chinese, who are all
high livers, spend their Eagle. money freely.—

Drill of tho German Array.
A new book of instructions for drill has
been issued to the German army, by which
there will be established tho greater sim
plicity and lesser number of movements
which various military authorities,
notably Lord AVoIseky, have favored for
several vearo, All evolutions not likely
to bo needed in battlo are abolished,
This would'have been done before had it
not been for the unwillingness of the old
kaiser to see swept away numerous details
which had accompanied the progress of
the German arms during his lifetime. No
new drills cro introduced, only some old
ones cut. Captains are made
for their companies’ proficiency.—New
