Children of Cinnamon.

One of the most interesting features of the
Chinese population of New York is the half
breed element. A large number of Ceiestials
have American or Irish American wives
There are over one hundred such families in
and around New York, They are of recent
origin, most of them dating since the
passage of the snti-Chinese bill. The bill
has made the Cinnamon cling to America
somewhat more strongly than before. This
is perhaps owing to the fact of their not be-
ing able to return as easily as they did form
erly, when they wish to visit China. At any
rate, many of them are staying here raising
families as well as attending to their daily
business. A number of them have children.
The best known of these are the children of
"Charlie" Sing, the Chinese interpreter, who
lives in Yonkers "Jim" Baptist, at River
side; Tom" Lee, Chin Tin, and ING Wo, of
Mott street, who have from one to four chill
dren each.
These children as a rule speak only Eng
lish some not even understanding one word
of Chinese. They are in general fine looking
and vivacious. Some present quaint combi-
nations of Mongolian and Caucasian peculiar
tiles. The son of Sign Bau has blonde hair,
and gray eyes, but he hair is straight and
coarse and the eyes have an obliQue setting
The daughter of Ong Woo has the olive com.
plexion, jet black hair and the eyes of her
fathers race, but the features and figure of
a German. The female children as a rule
are pretty and promise to grow pretty. One
of these, the ive-year-old little daughter of
Wong Yu Fo, in Williamsburg. a well-to.do
laundryman, is more than a fair example.
She is a little brunette, and has not bit of
Chinese looks. The child is a general
favorite in the neighborhood The mother
was New Jersey girl, whose sister married
her husbands cousin. also a Wong, who. by
the way, is the only Chinese laundryman in
New York owning real estate. He is one of
the richest laundrymen here. Wong Sin Bau.

Watering Plants.

Watering plants in dry weather needs
to be done with care. or it may do more
harm than good. Simply pouring little
water upon the warm and parched sur
face soil about the plant is OF doubtful
benefit. if it does not do positive injury.
If the soil is light, so that the water does
not puddle the surface, and cause it to
bake. it may do no harm; but with heavy
clay soils, we much prefer finely pull
verified surface to the baked crust that is
sure to follow occasional watering. Pull
verizing and mulching are perhaps the
best preventives of injury by drought,
But it may be asked why does not the
application of water work profit, when
we know that rain is so beneficial? The
conditions are quite different. A shower
of rain usually extends over a whole
township or county. The refreshing
water is distributed alike over forest.
field and garden, cooling both the atmos-
phere and the soil. 1t usually fails so
slowly that the parched earth has time to
drink it in for the benefit of the thirsty
vegetation. Have you ever noticed what
a copious shower it takes to wet drought
parched soil to the depth of inches
What takes place when the gardener
pours pint of water about his favorite
plant, at the close of hot midsummer
dayp The soil is so heated that the water
is quickly dissipated. Every particle of
soil that 1t comes in contact with changes
a portion of it to vapor, while the thirsty
air quickly imbibes all that comes in con
tact with it. The roots have little oppor-
tunity to profit by it, so short is its dura.
ton. and the baked surface that is sure to
follow doubtless promotes evaporation
from the soil. while it retards the absorp.
ton of dew.
If water is to be given in dry weather,
we think it better to make holes about the
plant with the dipper or cane. fill these
with water and then cover the tops OF the
holes with loose earth. This will prevent
the baking, while the water is deposited
where it will come in immediate contact
with the roots.

Celery.

The old way of growing celery in deep
trenches possessed one great advantage.
1t gave the plants moisture in time Of
drouth. During the summer of 1888 we
had an abundance of rain during August
and September. We found that celery
grown in trenches was neither larger in
yield nor better in quality than that
grown on the level. In 1884. however.
with four inches less of rain during August
celery grown in trenches yielded nearly
double that grown on the level. Those
who grow only small quantity of this
delicious vegetable, and desire to have
this OF the finest quality, will. perhaps, be
more sure of attaining their result BY
growing the plants in trenches.
Celery requires abundant manuring.
We recommend opening a double furrow
where each row is to be planted, filling
this to the level of the soil with well rot
ted manure trodden in. Then reverse the
burrows to cover the manure. Rake the
row down level, stretch line over the
center and set the plants about six inches
apart. A rainy time is. of course, best
for transplanting. But if the soil is well
pulverized and the plants are set out as
oOOu do TIC luilO"o PICPdLCu,
the ground is moist, few will fail even
though the weather is warm and dry.
The only culture required from the time of
setting the plants until about the middle
Of September is to keep the surface free
from weeds and mellow.
Our experience with the White Plume
celery leads US to recommend it highly
for early use. The claim that it is self
branching is we'll sustained, and its quail
ity. early in the season, is equal to the
best. The only fault that we observed in
an extensive trial, last season, was that it
blighted rather worse than other varieties.
Not sufficiently, however, to prevent a
good crop.
1t seems pretty well established that
the red and pink varieties of celery are
better keepers. more hardy, and richer in
flavor than the white sorts. They are not
so popular in the market because pur-
chasers judge by ight.-Country Home.
