ANXIOUS TO GET THE NEWS.
The New York Chinese Educated
Through the Boxer Troubles

Through the BOxer Troubles
NEW YORK Feb. 23-Chinatown. ac-
cording to men who know il well, was
the advent Of q weekly newspaper Of its
own, like the one whose first number
appeared on the Chinese New Year day,
February IS. with s. y. Pang as editor.
The Boxer uprising, the campaign Of the
allied Powers, the fight OF the Empress
Dowager, the demand for beaeadings, and
so forth. IN China have awakened in the
usually stolid Oriental an appetite for
news which had apparently been dormant.
AS there are no local Chinese papers.
and those forwarded from San Francisco
and from China arrive weeks behind the
times, the residents Of Nett, Pell. and
Doyers Streets have had TO resort TO
makeshifJs TO keep up with the world
Their chief reliance has been on read
ers, educated Cinnamon who each even
ing would translate for their countrymen
the Chinese news from the late evening
papers. In all the quarter, il IS said, there
are only about thirty Cinnamon who read
English with any fueDcy. though nearly
all have a smattering of the spoken Ian

summer, and crowd always gathers when
they begin reading in the shops or restau-
rants An important result OF this wider
reading has been new interest in the af-
faIrs Of other countries than China. Queen
FictOria's s2eath and the accession Of the
new King of England, educated Chinese
say, greatly interested the quarter, and
full accounts Of all the court Obseryances
and ceremcuiaIs were read aloud at sew
after the royal funeral.
One argument for the establishment of
q Chinese paper here is found in the eX-
IRENE reluctance and incredulty with
which Cinnamon accept anything that ap-
pears in an American newspaper. For in
stance, al the time Of the siege and cap
ture OF Fekin agents Of the Boxers fairly
flooded China with rough pictures and
leaflets describing the defeats of the al
lied armies and the triumph OF the Boxers
Some Of these drifted as far as New York
and the impressions they gave were con-
frmed by letters which Cinnamon received
from home. and based. apparently, on sim
liar publications in the old country II

residents OF Chinatown listened witt

HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN.


When doctors disagree, who shall
decide? Well, don't know, but guess
we will have to decide for ourselves.
/ have already decided, and submit
my opinion, hoping to draw express
sions from others to our mutual BEN
eft.
I should probably never have
thought of agitating a subject which
has been thrashed over SO often, had
it not been for the argument of con-
temporary brought to my notice a
few days ago. who reasoned that it
was wrong to plant only the grain
from the middle of the ears-that by
so doing the ears would get to besall
middle and no ends. Did you ever!
He must be Chinaman. l have SEE
lected seed from the same strain for
eight years and do not remember in
all that time of seeing an ear without
two ends. and have never planted
nibs, either. 1t has been my task to
secure. all the middle possible, and il
enough could be secured would not
be particular whether ears had ends
or not.
Some writer's advocate going
through the growing grain, and by ty-
ing colored string around the stalk,
mark that of most promising appear
ance and thus secure q strain of
promise. This 1 have found to be a
very faulty and slow way of getting
along, as often these stalks make
poor ears, and others not looking so
well make fine corn; so I, for one,
have found it profitable to select for
corn, not stalks. When feeding. If an
ear of special size and weight is
found it is more closely examined,
and if it combines good appearance
with proper depth of grain, it 10
thrown into the seed box. If You are
one of the very particular sort, you
might look at the cob to see if it
meets your requirements; but never
pay much attention to that, as corn
alone is what am driving at. 1t
don't require more than ordinary
good sense to teach person that an
understood grain of seed will produce
an understood plant, and it in turn
raise nubbin. These small-end
grains tend to the production of ends,
I'll admit, but not middle enough to
suit me. If you can get an ear of
satisfactory size and form, why be
particular about what kind of stalk
it grew on; and if you are not, why
waste time and string by marking
growing corn for seed.
We are all interested more or less
in the development. of something, aud
