CHILDHOOD KNOWS NO NATION.
A CHINESE GIRL AND HER IRISH AND ITALIAN
PLAYFELLOws.

The overlapping of the different foreign quarters
in this city is often responsible for strange MKT
ure Of children Of various nationalities in their
common pIayground-the street. This IS especially
true OF Mott-st part Chinese, part Italian, with
few Irish and Hebrews scattered in for good
measure
A little Chinese girl wandered away from her
home and keepers at the lower end Of the street
last Sunday. and found delightful playhouse in
the shade under a truck which had been stored IN
the street for the day of rest. II II had been a
Chinese boy the little one would have never got
out of Chinatown without keeper; but 1t was a
girl and the Chinese don't think much OF their
girls until they want to marry. and not much OF
their wives after marriage
a little Irish boy. Just beginning to swear, and
as an accompaniment to toddle around by himself,
found her in full possession OF her strange cobble

at her for a time through the playhouse window

TIE Chinese girl did not understand. but she
smiled out of her quantity slanted eyes, and the
Irish boy accepted the invitation. She jabbered
little Chinese and they crowed and laughed and
played with each others fingers
A little Italian boy happened along and was ad-
mftted into the circle There baby talk in
three languages and no one of the trio understood
the other but It made no difference. Signs and
smiles and froWns took the place OF words
The Italian boy gave the girl a half spoiled

WO0D GATHERING FOR WINTER.

One by one the wooden buildings scattered
through the East Side are being torn down. and
New-York is becoming more and more a city OF
brick and stone. One of the oldest wooden struct-
