Long Hours In School and Sports Of
tho Vacation.
Among the representatives OF the
celestial kingdom in this city are Lee
Way and his cousin. All Foon. says
the Ogdensburg Journal. They are
bright and intelligent, and are inter
esting characters. OF their earlier life
in China they give very lucid accounts
Lee Way has been in the United
States about twenty years, first locat-
ing in New York city. In his native
country he has wife and son. and
he has made frequent visits to them
since he first came to America, Lee
received instruction in English before
he crossed the Pacific, and he also at
tended school in New York. Both he
and his cousin receive weekly instruc-
lions ut the hands of teachers OF the
Baptist Sunday school, and Lee espe-
cially has become proficient In his use
of the English language. All Foon has
been in America only a few years, and
has resided in Ogdensburg about a
year. He is married, and his wife was
left behind in his native land. Before
coming to America All Foon was In
school until he was 16. with English
tutors, but his knowledge Of the Ian
guage is meager. Until few years
ago there were no woman teachers In
all China. Now there are many. and
students are received until past the
age of &c. There are many native
teachers. as we'll as the missionaries
who come from foreign lands. The
scholars sit on high stools at desks
and study aloud. At 10 and IL years
years the Chinese scholars can read
and write very well. Every lesson Is
learned by rote. The teacher always
retains possession of Furnishing stick.
and occasionally lazy or tardy scholars
receive few sound raps with 1t. The
scholars are at school early in the
morning. and it is not uncommon for
boys to study ten hours day. That
would seem long time for American
boys to devote to study in single
day, but, according to All Foon, the
juvenile Chinaman never grumbles at
the long hours, and he and his COM
panions climb upon their stools and
sing out their lessons all at the same
time as loudly as they can. Vacation
is always during the rice harvesting
season. Then the boys fly kites and
enjoy many other pastimes which are
similar to those seen in America, such
as walking on stills, playing hide and
seek. blind mans bluff and leap frog.
eve have great fun fighting beetles,
too" said All Foon. I'm China there
are no bad boys like here. All boys
are respectful to all older than them
selves. They do not think 1t fun to
hurt other peoples feelings. One thing
I have seen here is very old trick In
China. You see boys place package
on the sidewalk and when some one
stoops to pick 1t up 1t is gone, Tor
there is a string tied to 1t, and little
boy at the other end Of the string.

$1.jO Il day is all that our Iaborers
will get. At that price | can put
100000 men at work in a month. The
Italian labor agencies have offered us
more men than we shall need at $1.25

men shall be employed at the prevail
ing rate Of wages, and, in order to
be on the safe side, we prefer to in
terpret that as meaning $1.50 a day.
I'd like to say, though, that so far as
we can find out, the prevailing rate is
Sl.25. All the sewer contractors who
are working near our excavation are
paying that amount. We expect no

sogon, surrounded by 1000 insur-
gents. The Americans occupy

changing shots with the enemy. Sew

each southern province, but they can
not be spared from their present sta
tiOns. Another squadron of cavalry
will be sent to Gen. Bell.
