St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-08-19

There is certain amount of mystery
connected with the workings of a
Chinese laundry. A SUNDAY GLOBE
reporter recently carried a bundle to
one of these establishments and re-
ceiyed check for the articles. This
check resembled piece of manila
paper upon which chicken had walked
after having put its feet into an ink pot.
In reply to the question as to when the
articles would be ready. John answered
"SiaIelday." All attempts to induce
the stolid Asiatic to fix an earlier time
was met with the same answer, ''Slatel-
day." The name over the door was
"Sam Wah," and the reporter was anx-
iouS to ascertain which of the six
heathens was the proprietor, SO he
asked:
(Which is Sam Wah?"
ME Sam Wan; him Sam Wah; all
Sam Wah," said the Chinaman in a
Sing-SOng voice.
The fact is that the sign ever the door
conveys no idea whatever of the real
name of the persons who are engage d
in the business. The name on the sign
is not that of perS0nS-1t is analogous
to that of The Sign of the Bald Eagle"
or kindred appellations. Cinnamon
choose flrm name winch may mean
1.-The Three Virtues" or anything of a
similar poetic significance. Not that
there is anything very poetic to the
American ears in the signs Eat Lung, y
Fat Lung" Fat Chung" "Mon Kee, "
ETC.. but Chinese poetry must not be
gagged by the rules of English sounds.
Having given the customer the check
for the wash, that is all that one ever
sees of the articles until they make
their appearance upon the ironing
board. Where they are washed is the
mystery. There doesn't appear to be
any place where this part of the laun-
dry work is done. The clothes are
never seen on a line in the back yard,
but they are washed somewhere, of
course. The articles eventually reach
the ironing board add here an interest
ing process is gone through with them.
A Chinaman stands over the board and
vigorously squirts large quantities of
water from his mouth upon the articles,
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1890-08-19

other things, the taste for this kind of
music is an acquired one, to which
Americans do not take naturally. One
must be educated to it before it can be
fully appreciated. 1t is difficult to
describe these sounds; they must be
heard
Then, again, there are Chinese
dramas, but they never come to st. Paul.
Perhaps this accounts for the fact that
the Chinese are allowed to remain here
peaeeably. These dramas are never
finished in one night. 1t takes mouths
sometimes years-to complete them,
and a new generation of actors fire.
quently grow up and finish the plays
commenced by their parents. People
who have never seen a Chinese drama
had better not try the experiment.
Fan-tan is a great game among the
Chinese. who are natural-born gam
blerS. This game is quite simple. The
dealer throws number OF beans under
hat, and the players ct as to whether
the quantity consists of an even OF odd
number. The banker usually wins.
Not that Chinaman is not a good
guesser. but that the banker usually
manages to make things come his own
who has ever read Bret Harte's tale of
